Illustrator CC dissapeared

Hi,
I had to do a system restore due to a problem on my computer, but the system restore took me back to a point where i hadn't installed illustrator yet. So i tried downloading it again on the Creative Cloud app but it says that it's already been downloaded. I tried downloading it from your website but it redirected me to the Creative Cloud app and it still says it's already been installed. So how do i get it Back ?
Thanks !

Sarah,
I believe this is one for Customer Care (tick I Still Need Help and hope for an agent available for a chat),

  • Illustrator files dissapear after saving files

    hi
    we are all working on a network, mac computers all running mavericks. It started to happen few days ago that .ai files dissapear after editing and saving.
    any solution?
    Thanks!

    gonzalom,
    It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Extension panels, when minimized, dissapear when illustrator is reloaded

    Example;
    1. Open kuler extension
    2. Minimize the panel, so it only displays the Kuler Icon & the word "Kuler"
    3. Close & Restart Illustrator
    Kuler is now gone, it needs to be manually called back again.
    The exact same problem occurs with FreegridUI panel (C++ sdk) which is also based on the same Flash ui extension style panel. No doubt there would be a crafty way to fix it via C++, but if this was corrected, either in the SDK or whereever, it would benefit all coders that use these flash ui panels.
    My guess is, all extension builder type panels suffer from this problem.
    The other (normal) illustrator panels do not suffer from this problem.
    If the panel is left maximized upon exit, they will reappear in the same place as the user left it.
    argh
    Thx

    The plot thickens,
    When I started Illustrator today, the kuler toolbar was open, with the icon. This is great.I can't really remember what the previous state of the Kuler toolbar/ panel was.
    When I push the Kuler icon to expand the panel, it expands out to 5 pixels in width and about 400 px in height. I could resize only Vertically, to make the strip longer.
    I had the same experience with my own plugins, where they would expand out to 5px in width and 20 px in height.
    As far as a designer is concerned, the plugin I wrote is broken. Getting this right is very difficult when even the supplied plugins do not work correctly. eg. Kuler.
    The operating system I'm developing for is MACOSX 10.6.6
    It is an extremely difficult bug to reproduce unfortunately.
    Plugin development on a mac for illustrator has been a really frustrating experience for the last two years.

  • Adobe CS3: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and Flash (Not opening)

    Hi,
    I have had the adobe creative suite suite 3 Deisgn premium for over an year now.  Recently over the past 2 months I am no longer able to open up any of the following programs:
    Photoshop
    Dreamweaver
    Illustrator
    Flash
    They have worked for me in the past but now they are just not opening up for me.  I have tried plenty of things such as:
    Uninstalling the whole cd then reinstalling
    Calling customer service
    Browsing/googling for ways to fix it
    Yet I still have been yet to get this issue resolved.  I have tried installing the CS4 30 day trial and that works fine.  But I want my CS3 version to work.  I tried everything.  The thing is I do not get an error message either on the these so there is no way of titling this issue.  If it helps I have windows vista.  Well please let me know what you come up with .  My email is [email protected]  Thank you!
    Brett Ryan

    What does happen?     When I double click on them nothing happens for a second it gives me the loading signal but nothing comes up.
    You say no error message - how far in the boot process does the program get?  Does it just not respond at all?  Does the program load-box appear and freeze?  Does the program load-box appear and dissapear?  Does the computer freeze up in the middle of the load?
               You never end up seeing anything for any of the applications except for photoshop which loads but then closes right away.  So it just doesnt respond at all.  But there is no freezing.  So the load-box only appears and dissapears when I open photoshop. but for everything else it just never appears.
    Does the process display in your processes list?  
                No it does not display
    Did you install/uninstall/delete anything around the time this started?
    I'm pretty sure I didnt uninstall or install anything around the  time it started.  I think I would remember if it did.  So i'm pretty sure I did not.
    Did you try going back to a restore point before this started?  No I did not.
    Have you run a thorough virus scan?  Yes I have and nothing comes up.

  • Paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, I cannot see the pasted object

    Sorry for this dumb question but I have tried everything I can think of before asking this question.  I have a single grouped object in Illustrator and I select the object and "Copy".  Then I open up a new photoshop project and choose "Paste".  Then I get four questions:
    Smart Object, Pixles, Path and Shape Layer to choose from.  No matter which one I choose I get a large box with an X.  I cannot see the object just the box that is x'd out.  This must mean something but I cannot figure it out.  When I place it dissapears.
    Please what is the secret to pasting objects into Windows Photoshop CS4?
    Thanks, Brent

    Magically, pasting started working.  Maybe, my computer was running out of memory or something.
    Thanks for your helpful answer.

  • Created new Art Brush but it dissapears

    Let me just say I am reasonably new to Illustrator.
    I've created a new art Brush: New brush>Art Brush> and made my selections and clicked ok. The brush then shows in the brush palette where I have access to use it but then when I close the document and reopen a new one the brush dissapears. Where did it go and how do I get it back??
    Please help... not sure where I am going wrong in saving the brush.

    Once you create a brush in Illustrator you need to save it by choosing save brushes under Brush libraries menu.
    What you can do now open the old document  click on the save brushes and than open the new document and under Brush libraries menu select other libraries and open the saved brush library from the previous document.

  • I need a student well versed in Illustrator to finish a project

    I began a book project about 4 years ago and had a illustrator who produced 200+ illustrations for me before dissapearing off the face of the earth! I'd like to finish the project so I need someone versed in Illustrator to finish about 100 illustrations. I can pay $5.00 per illustration and provide a photograph to work from and you will need to be able to copy the style of the first guy so they look seamless. You will get a credit in the book and a copy for your files.
    If interested contact me at [email protected] and I can send you a zip file with examples so you can decide if you can do it or not.
    Thank you

    I can pay $5.00 per illustration
    Did you mean $50 per illustration?
    Without seeing your samples, I have to assume that a good illustrator will likely take several hours per illustration. That would mean $15 or fewer dollar/hour, which is quite low for illustration work. Not to mention, the added requirement of matching someone else's style will make this job harder, not easier.
    At $5 per drawing, even if each one took only two hours, that's $2.50/hour. It's going to be hard to find someone willing to work for so little.

  • White lines around a swatch in Illustrator

    Hi there,
    I need help with a swatch that I have created in illustrator. Once the swatch is applied as a fill there is a white line surrounding the original pattern. I have read other blog posts about the issue that state that the lines are just on screen and dissapear when you export as a PDF and when you print. I printed the design today at three different scales (100%, 40%, 20%) and all showed a white line but only on the horizontal axis. Both horizontal and vertical lines are visible when exported as a PDF. The original design is vector.
    Here is a screen shot of the design from my computer:
    Here is a photo of what the design looked printed (notice that the white lines are ony visible on the vertical axis):
    Can anyone shine any light on the issue or offer any solutions? If there are any other important details i have missed please let me know.
    Many thanks,
    Katherine

    Hi Jacob,
    I had already read on many a blog post that the issue could be only 'on screen' and that when printed it would dissapear. But when i printed not all lines dissapeared.Yes I think this may have been the case for the horizontal axis as when I printed it dissapeared (see second image on my initial post) but it still showed on the vertical axis.
    Thanks for your suggestion,
    Katherine

  • Single Path Selection Lag Illustrator CS4

    Running OSX on a MacBook Pro
    Illustrator CS4 up to date
    4gb Ram
    No significant performance issues anywhere else.
    Does this happen to anyone else?
    Draw a path.  Deselect the path.  Use a single click to select the path with the selection tool.
    For me Illustrator hangs for about 5 seconds, bring up the spinning ball before I can continue working.
    If I marquee select the path, the program does not hang.  I have an illustration with thousands of paths, I can marquee select the whole thing and move it immediately with no lag, but if I make a single click selection on any path, the program lags.
    Do other people have this problem or is this an isolated case.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the fast reply! I experienced the same phenomena. The problem turned up in Leopard 10.5.8 and dissapeared with SL (10.6.1). However, ot of the blue it started again. Any idea where to look?
    Thnaks again!
    Edit: After reinstalling my whole system step by step I found the culprit: a little application called 'RightZoom' which modifies the zoom button of the active window. Excluding Illustrator in the settings of RightZoom cured this problem!! Finally!

  • Illustrator closing/disapearing randomly during explorer save/export/open

    Hi everyone,
    This is a weird one, recently ive been having an issue with illustrator randomly closing with no notice and for no obvious reason.
    In short ive found it happens when the pop up window to save/export/open has been initiated or while I'm navigating through folders. Just incase which screen i mean is un clear, its this one in the picture;
    so as this window is opened everything dissapears, including the save window, no crash report, no sign of a program not responding......just nothing.
    look forward to hearing form anyone who has had this problem, losing work and it sucks!

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. And well, setting thumbnail size in Explorer  to "humungously large" certainly doesn't help matters.

  • Adobe Illustrator Keeps Crashing in Windows

    I have Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 14 and everytime I start Illustrator it gets to the dialog box where it asks you to start a file, but no options appear and then the box dissapears and the program itself shuts down. It worked fine yesterday and I tried rebooting, reinstalling Illustrator, deleting preferences, deleting setting folders. the works. I need to use this program for a project I have to do.for sch-ool.
    Please help,
    Michael

    You should do a search on the forum for this issue.
    Yu don't happen to have something called Zune installed? Not compatible.
    You can create a new user account log in and you probably will be able to work until you find out the issue.

  • Illustrator cs4 application icon disappeared...

    Hello,
    Recently the illustrator application icon has dissapeared on me...
    I'm running win7 64bit.
    I've found several threads discussing this problem in Vista with cs2 and cs3, but no solutions...
    Has this problem been solved?
    If so, how do I get that icon back?
    thnx,
    S

    Hi Mylenium,
    Thanks for the response!
    Removing and re-adding the link to the taskbar doesn't solve the problem unfortunately...
    I don't think it has anything to do with the taskbar, because the icon is also gone (i.e. replaced by an "unknown item" icon) in windows explorer.
    There is a .ico file (AI_Application_Icon.ico) in the support files\contents\windows folder that does display the icon, but the illustrator.exe file does not.
    Also changing illustrator.exe icon to this .ico file has no effect.
    I'm also running illustrator as an administrator with full rights (tried every other way of running it, to no avail...).
    What's more, all my other cs4 applications don't have this problem...
    I use illustrator all the time, so don't think non usage is the reason either.
    I'm at a loss :'(

    File NAme msk126896.ai Created on CS2 on OS 10.4.3. Between 8:10am and 9:10am 11-02-05.
    Message: Can't open illustration. The illustration contains an illegal or misplaced operator. Offending operator: 'Data'
    Context: a list of 3 digit numbers beginning with 4 (like this 456,498,402,438, 4....)
    On this file I had two layers named proof#1 and proof #2. I was working on proof #2 layer, tracing over a customer .jpeg to more closely match the typeface. I started out with loading Egyptian701, and URW Egyptian Bold Wide. I decided on the latter. Set one word on an oval "path", turned it to outlines and adjusted the copy to the .jpeg. All the while I was Saving (but not saving as..). When I was done I went to the layers pallete to make another layer (all text in job as outlines). When CS2 crashed without any warning, it just dissapeared off my d/top. So I proceeded to submit report to Adobe around 9:10am 11-02-05. and re-launched the application. When the job opened, I got the message above, and there was only part of the document left in the one layer that remined. There was nothing left of my illustration, logo, or type. An almost EMPTY File? ! ?
    This happened to another file on 10-14-05

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse, so

    Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse and tried solving the problem in different ways - it still didnt work. So i opened up photoshop. I was unable to open a file in photoshop (new or old) and when i finally did manage to open something, I am unable to do many things.
    1) i cannot crop canvas    
    2) i cannot resize canvas
    3) text dissapears after i type it
    4) brush strokes dissapear after i release mouse
    etc
    What should i do??
    Thank you!

    Nobody can help you without system info or otehr details. From your description this could be driver issues with a tablet if you use one or similar issues with a programmable custom mouse... Most definitely not an issue within the programs. Unplug your mouse and tablet, uninstall and reinstall the drivers, try another input device...
