Illustrator 10 URGENT!

G4 OSX.4.11 Firefox 3.6.11
I am unable to place any kind of graphic in my Illustrator program. This seems to be a result of having downloaded Flashplayer 10.1. I did that and then could not open any of my Adobe apps. So I uninstalled it and am able to open the apps. but not able to place a jpg, gif, etc.
Would so appreciate any suggestions on where to go now!

jndtaos,
You may try to Move the folder (ignore the hidden files/folder instruction) with Illy closed; this is reversible so you can restore the preferences if it does not help.
As a next step, you may try the Other options, listing a number of different issues/solutions, including offending applications.
The parsing error message seems to imply a genuine error somewhere in the programme files, so maybe you should consider a reinstallation. You should be aware that the preferences will not be reset during uninstallation and reinstallation, so you should Move the folder in the process.

Illustrator fails to open URGENT HELP

Whenever I go to open Illustrator CS5 Extended, I get this message: http://i52.tinypic.com/16m6ow6.png I went to these forums before and I looked at a similar issue, and they said to get the Cleaner Tool or something so I did, but it said I need to unistall the product. I went to go uninstall the product but this message came up: http://i51.tinypic.com/2emcsjc.png I've reinstalled the product twice now and it begins to work the first time I open it, but then starts this whole error message over again. If there's even a number I can call to help me with this, that's be great. I'm a graphic designer and I urgently need my Illustrator to get my job done. Thank you in advance.

Cannot open Illustrator after update. Urgent fix required please.

I have just updated Illustrator CC today in the hope that the bugs I had would be fixed. Now I cannot open Illustrator at all. I get the error message which says I do not have Verdana installed. I am using Suitcase Fusion 5 (v16.0.4) and I have checked and I have two versions of Verdana (one Microsoft which I can turn off the other is locked), both of which are OpenType Fonts.
I've tried having both open and then turning the Microsoft one off. The other I cannot turn off. Illustrator will not open at all. I've tried re-booting my machine without success. I could at least open Illustrator before the update with exactly the same fonts available.
Please can someone help with this urgently!!!!!
It would help if Adobe, Apple and Extensis would actually talk to each other and write code that works rather than release bug fix after bug fix that still doesn't work!!!!!!

URGENT PLEASE: subscription active but illustrator still won't open - possible hosts problem?

My subscription was interrupted (forgot to update my visa card change) but this was re-activated by Adobe yesterday. At that point Adobe UK man said to 'wait 15 minutes' so that the 'subscription renewal' dialogue boxes would no longer apply and I'd be able to access Photoshop and Illustrator again. Unfortunately, he was wrong and the callback he arranged for me later yesterday never came - and so I was left having to call Adobe New York last night instead.
Adobe New York technician accessed my computer and did something with 'hosts'. (I'm not technical but it sounded like the hosts weren't connecting when my sub had been interrupted and simply had to be reconnected again when the sub had by then been reactivated). He got both Photoshop and Illustrator open on my computer and all seemed ok.
After that call, I closed Illustrator but only to find that, when I went to re-open it later, I'm back to the same position that I was in earlier yesterday and which is two Adobe dialogue boxes: first one says "renew your subscription" and then click "try again" which, when I do, gives me the second box and which says: "Subscription to creative cloud is now active. Continue to use your product" but when I click 'continue' it only goes back to the former 'renew your subscription' box again. I'm stuck in Groundhog Day here.
I have had to leave Photoshop open on my computer for fear of this also getting blocked if I close it down.
I desperately need some help because I need to use both software programmes this weekend to finish my course work for my studies' deadlines of this coming week!!.... HELP PLEASE!
Thanks Julia (in London)

URGENT-Warp effect tool illustrator, I want to arc an image

Can the arc tool in "Effects-warp" be used on a placed tiff? I have designed some labels and now the whole lot needs arcing to fit the bottle shape and the photo is not foloowing all the type, is it possible to do this or can it be done in photoshop?
Thanks

Jackie,
When you following the suggestion by Michael and repost here,
http://forums.adobe.com/community/illustrator/illustrator_general?view=discussions
one of us shall tell you that to change the shape of a raster image, such as a TIFF, as described you may create a (vector) path with the same size and shape placed right on top of the image, and then select both and Effect>Warp>Arc. You can just select the image and see the position and size in the Transform while you create the rectangle to fit.

Illustrator Crashing Upon Opening - Urgent Help Required.

Hello, i recently installed Illustrator CS4 on my Windows XP (SP2)
It worked fine for the first week or so, but now every time i go to open it, it opens so that i can see the various toolbars and such, then closes entirely. I do not see any crash report or similar reports.
I have tried removing every font off my computer besides the ones that the computer needs and running illustrator, this has also yielded the same disappointing result. I have also tried running the Adobe CS4 clean script and reinstalling illustrator, this also leads to the same result.
Help would be greatly appreciated as i need this for masssive design jobs that i have at the moment, with deadlines approaching quite soon.
Thanks,
Chris.

Jane,
When it is not something in the Adobe Illustrator CS4 (or whatever) Settings folder, it may be (with tests):
1. Corrupt font(s): you may move all fonts out of the Windows fonts folder (and move them back in);
2. Firewall interference (especially if more than one is running (XP SP2 adds one if activated)): you may turn them off (and on again);
3. Some versions of Acrobat generate many temp files. Too many (64K) causes the problem: you may search and destroy Temp files;
4. Some other inconsistency caused by Adobe Acrobat/Reader: you may try uninstalling and reinstalling (a newer version).
5. Incompatible/old printer definition file for the default printer: you may upgrade the driver, change the default, or set the PostScript driver/PDF to default;
6. Using a US/English version of Illustrator with Windows set to a different language: you may enter Control Panel>Regional and Language Setteings and change to English (and change back).
7. Quicktime/iTunes: uninstall Quicktime and make sure the Quicktime folder is deleted in the Program Files folder; and/or uninstall iTunes.
If neither of these possible solutions work, have you made any (other) changes to the PC between succes and failure? New software loaded?

Copy Illustrator contents to Indesign (Scripting) - Urgent

Hi,
I need to copy the contents of illustrator to indesign using scripting. Can any of you please help me to copy the contents from illustrator to indesign.
Thnaks for help in advance

... Erm. What was the difference, then?
BridgeTalk is a way to comunicate between Adobe applications -- for example, you can use it to trigger an InDesign script from Bridge to process selected indd-files (thumbnails) in Bridge. And vice versa, you can run a Bridge script from InDesign -- e.g. to get some metadata that you can't get directly from InDesign.

[URGENT!] illustrator rectangular tool is not working with adjusting the size!!!!

Other tools are working well otherwise the only rectangular tool has problem whenever I try to adjust the size.
I tried 'show bounding box(shift+command+B), but it's still not working.
Please help me with this problem and find attached pics.
The pics above are the captured screen we could find on PC, but on Mac the size is not adjustable. :-(

tomato,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Content of illustrator file is different when opening in and old cs version.

Hi all!
I have a very awful and urgent problem in my job right now, i design some advertisings that goes regularly from month to month, so some advertisings are just like the last month used but with some data changed.
My problem:
I have an illustrator file (.ai) saved and created in CS3 with pdf compability, outlines, and files linked and included on the same cd,
but when opening the same .ai file in another machine but with CS2 (the client's PC).. it shows a very old version of the file with ALL linked files embebbed (and those are different that are on the cd!!)., in the CS3 file i saved and recorded on cd i replaced all things of course and re-save it. I don't know what is wrong, but when i open it in another machine (i.e. a Mac) it shows the correct version of advertising. But not with the client's machine...
In my illustrator file, there is only text outlines and 2 psd. Each PSD have only 1 layer, 'cause they were flattened (thet are actually letters scanned).
So basically: My .ai file, created in CS3 in a Mac, seems totally different and embebbed when opening in CS2 in a PC.
I hope someone can help me with this urgent matter Thanks a lot everyone!!

In regards to the illustrator file link not matching, there is nothing wrong with the .ai file., your problem is with the filenames on the linked images. Your linked images have the SAME EXACT FILENAME AS THE OLD ones connected to the clients machine. You need to break the link to the old bad files and re-establish them to your good files.
Use links palete Flyout menu >> link information to find the location of the images. Change the name of an enclosing folder, or some other method to break the link to old images. Relink to new images, by placing them next to the .ai file in the same folder, and open the .ai file.

Error message "Cant open illustration" in Illustrator CC 2014 on Win 7 PC

Need urgent help to recover or open file, please.

George,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.

Fontproblems and fontcaches in Illustrator CS4 and CS5

Hello all,
I've been having a serious and severe problem using Ilustrator and fonts.
As this is a very complex problem to explain, I'll try to make it easy to understand.
First I'll tell you the specifications and software used:
Imac 27 inch running MAC OS X 10.6.7 with follow software:
Illustrator CS4 + Illustrator CS5, both installed
Fontreserve (running a central server and macs connect through a MAC-client) http://www.extensis.com/en/support/font-reserve.jsp
So we use an external third party fontsoftware to manage and activate our fonts used in Illustrator.
We only have the required system fonts installed on our systems.
We recently ran in a big issue concerning fonts within Illustrator.
I'll try to explain what the problem really is ...
So normally we boot up Illustrator and we activate our fonts in fontreserve.
The fonts get loaded in Illustrator. So that does work like it should.
But the problem begins when we deactivate fonts.
Font reserve does deactivate them and in Illustrator the deactivated fonts are gone or so it seems ...
After a restart, I only start Illustrator. So our client fontreserve stays closed.
I opened the job I worked on before the restart and Illustrator opens the document and loads the fonts.
You read it right, Illustrator does find all the fonts which, before the restart, were deactivated.
Where does he gets those fonts?
So I started to investigate and tried a couple of things.
1) I physically moved the fontreserve-plugin out Illustrator so it will not be loaded on startup.
That didn't fix it because Illustrator still finds the fonts.
2) I physically plugged out the network cable to be sure Illustrator could not contact our fontserver.
Sadly he still did find the fonts.
3) I used "Tweak Freak" to clear my fontcaches. I also searched for "AdobeFnt" to clean out the cache from Adobe itself.
This did not work either.
4) I tried opening the document again but this time in CS5. And guess what? Illustrator CS5 asks for all the fonts that are missing, which is correct because not one font has been activated.
Strangly enough I decided to reopen Illustrator CS4 (Illustrator CS5 still beiing open as well), and suddenly Illustrator CS4 asks for the fonts too?
A minute ago he still found all the fonts and after opening Illustrator CS5, it does not ...
So Adobe what is the connection between Illustrator CS4 and CS5?
And where does Illustrator store its fontcache?
It would be nice to run a script on shutdown te delete all possible fontcaches.
So after spending a couple of hours fixing this problem, it seems that I still don't quite understand where the problem lies.
I'm hoping you can.
As this is an urgent matter, I hope to get an answer or support as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to see what files Adobe Illustrator has open by using the Activity Monitor.app application.
To do so, open the Activity Monitor application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder). Locate Adobe Illustrator in the list and then double-click on it. This should open up a new window like shown in the image below:
Switch to the Open Files and Ports tab, and it should list every open file that Illustrator is using.

Important issue. In Illustrator CC 2014 extensions don't cover all the panel at start

I created a extension in illustrator CC 2014 (last version in spanish) that works fine until two weeks ago. It shows a image that covers all the panel.
Now, at start it doesn't covers all the panel (only a part) and I must resize the panel for cover all the panel.
I'm programing in eclipse and my paths in preferences are:
Service manager root folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP
User-Specific Service manager root folder: C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP
Illustrator application: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
My system is a Windows 8.1 Pro and my version of Illustrator was updated with the Creative Cloud App 11 days ago.
I reinstall OS in my laptop and reinstall all again but the problem is there.
I was testing the examples in Adobe-CEP/Samples · GitHub (CEP_HTML_Test_Extension_5.0) and it's the same and until I resize the extension don't cover the entire panel.
here is my code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>extension</title>
</head>
<body style="margin:0px;padding:0px;overflow:hidden;background-image:url('starting.jpg');backgr ound-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:fixed;background-position:center;">
</body>
</html>
What's the problem?
Do you have the same problem?
Before, at start up the extension the image covered all the panel as after resizing.
Thank you for your help. It's very urgent form me to resolve this problem.
Here are several images:
before resizing after resizing.

For the last few months, I've been having the exact same problem and it is driving me CRAZY. I finally contacted Adobe a few weeks ago regarding the issue and they had me clear out my preferences. All seemed fine for a few days... but then it came back again and seems worse now. It happened so often today I lost count. Very frustrating.

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop ) randomly shutting down while trying to save a file. Reformatted my laptop for fear of a virus and reloaded... I have gotten nowhere.
Please Help!

CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences.
The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with Illustrator closed and when you launch the program again the file will be rebuilt.
May be it is also sounds like you need more memory for your computer. If you can navigate to your computer's memory controls, and allow your operating system to use a portion of your hard disk drive (HDD) as RAM (maybe 2Gb or so) it may solve your issue.
How is about: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/383-%E2%80%8Bcorrupted-fon ts-in-illustrator-file-urgent-help-need – resource has non-commercial specialty
Third party software Illustrator Repair Kit also must be good solution
It has free demo version at:- http://www.illustrator.repair/
Hope this will be helpful.
