Have error #5,illustrator will not open on mac 10.6 as  my illustrator was filed in my hard drive,  how to open it?

my teachers copy of creative suite 5 had the illustrator software filed in an external hard drive.
i dropped this illustrator file on my desktop but it would not open saying error 5.
how do i open this illustrator?
if i must re install the complete creative suite master collection, do i trash the existing collection first and then
reinstall the complete collection?
i only want to have illustrator  operating
thank you,   howard

Howard you will want to install Illustrator not copy it from one computer to another.  Please removed what you have copied and download a fresh copy of the installation files from Download CS5 products.  If you need to locate your registered serial number it will be located at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find details on how to locate your registered serial number at Find your serial number quickly.

    Two things:
    - Completely remove and reinstall the Apple software by the following.  That link provides a link for Win &.
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - If you still have a problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.

  • My MacBook Pro will not boot. When I inserted the OSx installation DVD, there is no hard drive to select. I can't eject the DVD either. Do I need to reinstall the operating system? Please help!

    I forgot to mention that there is a grey screen on startup also a flashing folder with a question mark. I have tried the solutions offered on these forum pages. I cannot get past the disk utility screen.

    Regarding the DVD in the optical drive:

    The MBP cannot find the OSX, and either the HDD or connector has failed.  If you can get the installation DVD to work, start the installation process and when the menu bar appears on the display, select 'Utilities'.  From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility>First Aid and run 'Verify' and 'Repair'.  If unsuccessful, a new HDD is in your future.
    If you cannot get the DVD to function, then a trip to an Apple store is your best option.
    Ciao.

  • Lost a 2 hard drives, have 7 k photos on a touch that I need to load on IMAC with a new hard drive, how do I do it.  Just never went from a Touch to iMac.  I have the cable hooked up and then what, I don't want to mess up,my last chance to save 7k pics!

    Lost my hard drive and also an Ipad, but have 7 k photos on a Touch that I need to load on fixed IMAC with a new hard drive, how do I do it. (There were more photos than the 7k, but they were saved on other drives, thank goodness).  7K pohotos on the Touch are no where else, must be saved!  Just never went from a Touch to iMac.  I have the cable hooked up and then what, I don't want to mess up,my last chance to save 7k pics!  New Aperture and IPhoto on IMAC with no other photos loaded on the new hard drive yet.

    I'd ask in the iTouch forum where there are more iTouch users there than here and they should know how to off load the photos.  It might take a 3rd party app.

  • CS5 Illustrator will not open, or quits immediately

    Hello! I have had CS5 since 2010. I have had no problems with my software until a few months ago, particularly with Illustrator. My Illustrator will not open, and if it does, it automatically quits after about a minute. An error box pops up listing problem details and system configuration. Any idea of what could be happening and how to fix it? Your help is really appreciated!

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like crash logs.

  • Illustrator will not open my files! HELP!

    Hello,
    My Illustrator will not open my files. At first I will launch the program open a file then the timer just spins and spins as if its thinking but nothing ever happens. The menu on the dock says its not responding. If I leave it like that for about 2 hours it will eventually open. But when I work and save again I get the same thing, application is not responding unless I let it sit there for a few hours. I reinstalled the software and nothing seems to be working.
    Please help. This is wasting my time and very frustrating.
    Thanks;o)

    The files I am trying to open are standard CS3 .ai files... I'm not on a networked server. Its just my computer with my licensed software.
    I'm creating a website so there is some type and some placed images. But this problem happens even when I start a new file and draw an image with simple illustrator tools. Do you think I have corrupt preferences?

  • Illustrator will not open certain files

    Certain files that I created in Illustrator will not open when I try to open them. I try to open the file and the AI application opens but the file itself does not. If I right click on the file and select properties, under security it says I have no permissions. However on other files created at the same time I have permissions and they open in AI just fine. thoughts?

    That is strange, but if this is on your work computer, your should probably contact your system administrator to set it so that you have permission to use these images.  If this is on your home computer, you should be able to change the permissions on your own.

  • Elements 9 is showing an error message and will not open

    elements 9 is shwing an error message and will not open

    Are you using the new Mavericks OS? If you upgrade to 10.9 with the application already installed the old prefs will have been left behind; so you need to clear them. Start by quitting PSE9.
    Launch Finder and click the Go menu whilst holding down the Option (alt) key. Then go to Library >> Preferences and clear everything relating to PSE9 which usually means deleting the following files:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Settings
    Also see this link if you normally have Finder set to the cover flow view:

  • I have an 8 year old eMac G3. It will not start up. I need to erase it before putting it in recycling. Apple refuses to open the case and warns me that I will be shocked if I even try. They say no way to erase hard drive. They say use a hammer. Any ideas?

    Hi hope somebody can help? i have acrobat 6 pro, worked well for last two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still will not open, ronning windows 7. Help please!!  Janice

    Hey janicem42177174,
    Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
    I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
    You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes

  • IPhoto:  I have several photos that will not open in the edit mode.  They also will not open to a screensaver.

    I have Version 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9, versiono 8.1.2.
    Two questions: 
    1)  I can't find the 9.0 to install so I can then update thru 9.3...
    2)  I have several pictures that will not open in the edit mode.  There is just a blank screen when I attempt to open them.  I cannot export them to the desktop either.  Message is:  Unable to create/Users/(my name)/Desktop

    If your Creative Suite version is #3 through 6, you might try running the CS Cleaner Tools in preparation for a re-install.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    If you have a legacy version, it may be that the activation servers for your product are no longer available.

  • I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

    Thank you.

    Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
    I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
    Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
    It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
    Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year!
