Error message: "Missing required plugins" - Illustrator CS4 will not load OS X 10.4.11

The install went fine but when I go to load the program I get the an error saying I am missing required plugins (artconverters.aip, pdf format.aip, & rasterize.aip). If I open the package content in finder I can clearly see these files there. I am running OS X 10.4.11
Any insight would be great. I have tried a full uninstall & reinstall, the problem is still there. I would really like to be able to run my software.

Did you do a search this was recently posted and there was an answer to this as well.

  • Error message: "Missing required plugins" - Illustrator CS3 will not load

    I am running CS3 Web Prem on Vista, dual core Athlon with 2g Ram.
    Illustrator has stopped working - gives error message: "Missing required plugins. Pathfinder Suite." Or it says "Missing required plugins. ArtConverters.aip PDFformat.aip Pathfinder suite.aip Rasterize.aip"
    I have tried the suggestions from knowledge base article - I have tried deleting AIprefs; I have also tried in new user account - initially worked but not on opening program a second time. I have also re-installed Illustrator.
    Any other solutions?

    Glad to hear it.
    Not sure what possible nuances to performance or memory management there may be to running in compatibility mode. Since I can't run in any other mode, it is hard to make a comparison.
    It seems to run fine though, for me.
    There should be a Windows Update that came out in the last day or so that is supposed to address this issue (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947562). At least thats what it says.
    BUT, after that fiasco with SP1, I am real reluctant to do any more updates.
    SP1 toasted my ability to connect with network resources, external and some internal hard drives, ALL my USB equipment failed to connect anymore. I removed SP1 (uninstalled it per the instructions on the MS KB) but that process trashed the OS and required a complete clean re-install of Vista. A week later I am pretty much back to where I should be (see, my system backups were with SP1. Brilliant, eh?).
    Still have to run many so-called "Vista Compatible" applications in this compatability mode though.

  • Illustrator cs4 will not open

    I have tried everything Illustrator CS4 will not open

    That is evil, is it not? Sorry, but you need to be more specific - operating system, system specs, what you have tried so far, error messages that may come up.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not open in XP Professional

    Hello,
    Although I am running Windows XP Professional AI CS4 will not open on my computer.
    Photoshop and InDesign work perfectly but Illustrator seems unable to recognize the XP operating system and gives an error message accordingly.
    Please see the attachment.
    If anyone has any ideas about how to cure this please tell me.
    Thanks for your consideration,
    cobaltgreen

    If I recall correctly, the issue is introduced by an incorrect install/ update of .NET runtimes (one of the newer versions, 3.5 I think). I've seen the message myself on one of my systems, but I'm not really sure how I fixed it. Reason however dictates, that manually initiating a Windows Update or downloading .NET installers from Microsoft's pages, would be one thing to try. If the solution floats to the top from the murky depths of my brain, I'll report back.

  • Premiere CS4 will not load timelines

    I have been working on a project will several sequences.  Today when I load project to contine
    working on them, the timeline will not load.  I can view the sequence in the Program Monitor,
    but when I double click it does not open the timeline at the bottom of the screen.  It does nothing!  HELP!!!

    I can view the sequence in the Program Monitor,
    If you can view the sequence in the program monitor you probably have the timeline working but cant see it.  have you changed your view settings where the timeline might be hidden from you ?  Maybe try using "editing" view or "reset" your view to the default ?
    maybe post a screenshot of what you are seeing when you open cs4...

  • Error message "Warning: Unresponsive Plugin" flash crashes when not connected to HDMI

    EVERY time I try to open a web page that has a video like Facebook or Youtube, I get an error message saying "Warning: Unresponsive Plugin" and the flash ultimately crashes. I tried updating the flash plugin and the problem was not solved. I recently noticed that when I plugged my laptop to my HDTV via an HDMI cable that this problem was not occuring. As soon as I took out the HDMI cable and went to Youtube I got the error message. Is there an option that might need to be changed that's causing this problem? I tried opening those pages in Internet Explorer and got a very similar error. It's probably not a Firefox problem but I'm hoping to find out if there is something in my PC that needs to be modified for this error to not occur again.

    Hi alrayes,
    I suspect it is an issue with your video drivers.
    If you go to your PC manufacturer's website (e.g. Dell, HP,...) and look up your model they should have links to download the drivers.
    Alternatively, (assuming your PC does not have integrated graphics) you can go to your video card manufacturer's website, and they will have the very latest drivers.
    Let us know if you figure it out.

  • I've upgraded my Mac OS to Yosemite and now Illustrator CS4 will not open.

    I'm guessing I am too far behind to upgrade to the latest version of Illustrator and I also am not really clear on using Illustrator in the cloud but I need to work on my existing CS4 files so not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

    j,
    You may prevent/deal with the error message as long as Illy is open in the following way:
    1) Start up Photoshop first, then Illy;
    2) When the error occurs, click Don't show again, and click OK;
    You may close down Photoshop after that.
    If you get the error message without having Photoshop open, close down Illy and start with 1).
    By the way, I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?
    Also you may need to update drivers (Wacom and others).
    If you run into the Java issue, you should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

    It is even more thoroughly described in this thread, see post #3 on by gator soup:

  • Error message HP Device Monitor quit unexpectedly will not go away! Help please.

    Hi, I deleted our old HP Printer from MAC and loaded the new one. Now I'm getting an error message constantly. Sending report, Ignoring, Relaunch - nothing gets rid of it. Also rebooted computer, turned it off, and unplugged new printer all to no avail. Hitting relaunching button makes it message disappear, but nothing relaunches. HELP.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not install

    Win 7 64 bit, Photoshop CS4 installed.  Try to install Illustrator CS4 and runs into a problem updating Photoshop and stops the install.

    Not exacly sure what is said. Just that is was not able to update Photosope and needed to stop the install.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I have tried to update Photoshop CS4 and have had difficulty as it would never complete, just get 80% done and stop.  Caused by:
    Error: The specified module could not be found. C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
    Workaround:
    Actually, I copied all of the files, not including the Dictionaries directory,
    VersionCue.dll
    VersionCueSDK.dll
    VersionCueUI.dll
    ExtendScript.dll
    that were not in the 4.0.1 directory.
    Now, I ended up with these 5 files,
    VersionCue.dll
    VersionCueSDK.dll
    VersionCueUI.dll
    ExtendScript.dll
    ScCore.dll
    and 1 directory, Dictionaries.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not launch under Snow Leopard

    Hi there,
    I've just done a clean install of Snow Leopard on my Mac. Here's what I did.
    1) Installed Snow Leopard 10.6
    2) Installed all OS X updates (including 10.6.1)
    3) Installed Quark Xpress 8.12
    4) Installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard
    5) Installed all Adobe updates (no updates related to Illustrator)
    6) Installed Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 (v13.2.1)
    Photoshop launches fine.
    When I launch Illustrator it crashes just after the splash screen appears.
    Any ideas please?
    Can't find anything on web really - if can't get an answer soon then I'll have to go back to Leopard .
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    I would suspect Suitcase and perhaps a corrupt font might be causing this issue and the data base is now corrupt.
    However before really pointing the finger at any software try this remove all unessential fonts then
    do this
    first quite Illustrator and then;
    I would go to Users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash that settings folder.
    then see if Illustrator is running fine. If not try a new user account if it is running fine under a new user then I would think it is font data base.

  • Error message "Warning: SUID file... will not be repaired"

    I just repaired permissions because something unexpected happened. This was one of the messages in the window:
    "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired."
    Can someone tell me if this is something to be alarmed about? And need it be fixed?
    (Last night I installed the briefly available AirportExtreme Upgrade that was pulled. On necessary restart I saw a dialogue about changing some boot files)

    ..."Apple has said that these specific messages, listed in the KB article I reference, are not a cause for concern."...
    Yes, understood. "Specific messages" being the key. Mentioning "specific", I think, shows that you understand the issue.
    However, your response to the OP was:
    ..."It's a normal status message and nothing to worry about."...
    It was only the extension of the "specific" to the general that I prompted me to clarify by responding in the first place. Of course, the message isn't "normal". Being able to safely ignore it is a special case, which is why it is listed specifically in the article. Note the difference to the "ACL" messages (i.e. "Any message that starts with: 'ACL found but not expected on...'". It does not say "Any message that starts with: "Warning: SUID file...". The document only applies to the specific listed files (plus a few more I believe would be included if the article had been updated in a more timely manner).
    In the future when responding to similar questions, please keep the distinction in mind because it is important. While there are things Apple should do to improve the situation, the reason I am addressing it here instead of through "feedback" is because of the way some participants of this site are conveying the message. As long as people aren't being given the impression that a warning that a SUID file has been modified is never a cause for concern, I won't object.
