Illustrator CC won't open on Yosemite.

Hello I recently purchased the CC suite on a student payment plan.  I primarily use Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects.  Today I tried opening Illustrator for the first time and I'll get it to open but once I click create or hover over any of the menu options; it instantly closes and and gives me "Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 quit unexpectedly."
I do not have ExtensisFontManagementAICC2014.aip so I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.
(As a reference to this similar problem Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 quit unexpectedly. )
Hoping to get some answers!
Thanks for reading this.

Try removing any third party plugins you have installed on Illustrator.  That may be the issue.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
    I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

    dchasin,
    You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
    Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.
    The solution was presented by Kals in post #7 here:

    I installed Mountain Lion and now Illustrator CS6 won't open. I get a -1712 message. Help?

    Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum.  What have you tried so far to resolve your difficulties?  Have you tried removing and reinstalling Illustrator?  If so did you receive an error message during the install process? 

  • PSE V.8 won't open on yosemite because "license stopped working". How do I fix this?

    PSE 8 won't open in yosemite. A dialogue box says that "license stopped working". I have tried to follow the steps on the Adobe support site but cannot find the FlexNet Publisher.
    How do I get this all working again?

  • Why photoshop cs5.5 won't open on yosemite?

    I have photoshop cs5.5 (installed on a macbook air running on yosemite), it had been working perfectly and suddenly it won't open. I get a message: "install flash player" (already done, as well as having installed the java se6 /2014 runtime and installed and uninstalled photoshop itself several times) but the only thing I see is that never-ending spinning color wheel. I've been through many threads and forums but haven't found a solution to it. It's worth mentioning that it only happens with photoshop, as i'm able to work fine with other adobe apps (illustrator, in design, bridge,etc)
    Does anyone know what might have happened and a possible solution?

    Without proper system info such as what Mac and what version of OSX nobody can say much and the logs from your Log Viewer would also help. Well, whatever. As a start run teh cleaner tool and reinstal lthe software.

  • Illustrator CS6 won't open additional files after 30 minutes use

    Illustrator CS6 (on an iMac, OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10) sort of freezes up after I've been using it for about 30 minutes - it won't open or create additional files or copy/cut/paste objects.
    It did this with OS X Maverick as well. I tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
    The only way I can fix this issue is to save all opened windows and quit Illustrator. When I reopen it, it seems fine but it freezes up again every hour or so.
    Please help! Thank you

    Hello worksmc,
    I looked at the above snapshot and it helps a bit but would like to know if above snapshot is at the state when the AI stops opening the Ai files? If not, then please attach the one for that state as that would really debugging the issue.
    Btw, what type of files do you open for the first half 'n hour? What kind of objects are in those files? Do you keep the multiple documents open, if yes, then how many are these?
    Appreciate your understanding!
    Thanks,
    Dhirendra

  • Mail won't open after yosemite update

    I updated my macbook pro last night to the yosemite version 10.10.3 and my mail app won't open anymore and i get the following message:
    "The last time you opened Mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?".

  • Adobe Illustrator CC Won't Open

    Hello there. I recently purchased Creative Cloud (roughly 2 weeks ago) and downloaded Adobe Illustrator CC. For the past 2 weeks that I've had Adobe Illustrator, it's worked perfectly fine. But now, for no reason that I can find, it won't open. Everything else Adobe works just fine, but Illustrator won't (for whatever reason). After continuously trying, and it not working, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it - still doesn't work. I opened up the Task Manager, and saw that it would open up in the background processes, but no matter what I do, it won't actually OPEN. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I fix it?

    ConK,

  • Keynote 6.5.2 update won't open with Yosemite 10.10.2

    Keynote 6.5 won't open even though I've updated it from 6.2.2.  My OS X version is Yosemite 10.10.2.  I get the error: Install the latest version of OS X, then download the latest version of Keynote from the Mac App Store.  I have done all possible updates and restarted my computer and still this error happens.  On my other computer with OS X 10.10 Keynote 6.5 opens just fine.  How do I fix the problem with it not opening in 10.10.2?

    Hello gradinc,
    It is hard to say what this could be. If you are still getting prompts to upgrade Keynote, it may be trying to open an older version. I would try and delete Keynote and then download it again. I would also try to open it within Launchpad or opening it directly from the Mac App Store to see if the error comes up again. If it does let me know.

  • Illustrator CS3 won't open EPS.

    I have had a problem recently of large EPS files not opening in CS3 on my new work PC.
    The following error comes up when I try and open the file:
    "Can't open the Illustration. Could not complete the requested operation."
    When I click Okay, I'm greeted with either a completely blank page, or a page where some elements are missing - usually embedded images, which are presumably what's causing the problem.
    Before you ask, I've tried the following:
    Placing the unlinked EPS into a new document - no love.
    Placing the EPS in InDesign and exporting - I just get a blank, grey image and a file that won't open.
    Opening the EPS in Acrobat - again, no love.
    If I PLACE the file in a new document as a LINK, I get a preview image - it's when I try to embed it that it fails.
    Now, I'm not after a way to fix my file, because I know it's corrupted and probably can't be saved. What I would like to know is why it keeps happening and how can I stop it?
    I've noticed that it happens mainly when I place large image files into a document. I've also noticed, after some testing to try and find a fix, that if I save as an AI file, it opens fine, large images and all.
    This kinda doesn't help me, as I need to save EPS files so that the files can be opened in other applications. Unfortunately, not everybody has Illustrator.
    My computer is BRAND NEW and it can't simply be a memory issue because I have 8gb of RAM. Full specs are listed below.
    I would appreciate an answer to this as it is becoming increasingly frustrating, especially given it never used to happen on my OLD work PC, with the exact same version of Illustrator.
    PC Specs
    Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHZ
    8GB RAM
    64 bit OS
    Adobe Illustator CS3 (v.13)

    Sure it can. AI CS3 is a 32bit app and only uses 2.something GB of memory. Only CS6 is natively 64bit and can use more memory.
    You're right, Mylenium. It seems to be a compatibility issue.
    I changed Illustrator's compatibility under Properties to an earlier version of Windows, in this case Windows Vista, and it now works fine. Or at least for the moment.
    If any more problems arise I'll post them here, but the problems I listed in my previous post are no longer occuring.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Illustrator CS4 won't open any files since installing CS6

    Every since I installed CS6, whenever I try to open files in Illustrator (all files, not just the new downsaved from CS6 files), the program goes into "Not Responding" and I can't do anything until I crash out. It also will not let me create new files.
    I've tried deleting my Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder as I saw suggested in another discussion, but it did not help.
    Since my CS6 trial is ending soon and I'm not sure about upgrading yet, I really need my CS4 to be functional.
    I'm running WIndows Vista 64 bit. Never had any problems with Illustrator before this.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, so I uninstalled Illustrator CS4, ran the CS Cleaner Tool, which messed up all my other CS4 programs, reinstalled the whole CS4 Suite, and Illustrator CS4 STILL won't open files (or allow me to create new ones). I only have two days left on my CS6 trial and I'm not sure if I'm upgrading right away, so I really need to figure out a way to make my AI CS4 work soon!
