  • I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite

    I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite.

    Can you open any file, i.e. jpeg, etc.? Have you installed the Apple legacy Java: Java for OS X 2014-001? I'm guessing you have because you wouldn't be able to open PS at all without it. But have to ask.

  • ILLUSTRATOR 7 and upgrades to CS2 on a new 64-bit system

    I have a new computer running a 64-bit version of Windows and want to download my Illustrator 7 and subsequent upgrade Illustrator 8, Illustrator 10, and Illustrator CS2. I received a message saying 'cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows.' How can I overcome this problem?

    You'll probably find that you will need to run the apps in XP compatibility mode which should emulate a 32 bit OS. I wouldn't count on AI7 or AI8 working though.

  • Problems cutting and pasting into illustrator 4 after upgrading to MAC OS 10.6.44

    Hi-
    I've been using my copy of CS4 illustrator without a problem until I recently upgraded to a macbookpro running OS10.6.4
    When I copy items, any item into illustrator it puts a large black box around where the text is.
    When I open up old documents I created on illustrator I can copy and past those text items without a problem.  here is an example of what Illustrator is doing to my pastes:
    heres what it is supposed to look like:
    Here is what the paste looks like in illustrator now: I can't figure out how to fix this.  Any suggestions?  This is really putting a damper on my publication process.

    If you have AppleCare, you should have a simplified Tech Tool Pro CD already. It is not part of Mac OS X. Tech Tool Pro is a third party utility package that helps diagnose and repair some problems that might occur with a Mac. Just Google for "Tech Tool Pro" (including the double quotes) and you will find tons of information on it. If you don't have Tech Tool Pro, its available for purchase at any store that sells Mac software.

  • Illustrator CC - illustrator CC 2014 Upgrade. But a problem arises. Help!

    However, after you install the 2014 version.
    CC to work with files.  The file is not open.
      'Can't open illustration.' With that notice.
    Not only one file.
    Apart from other files.
    Lost to upgrade an existing file.
    So not going to upgrade to the product?
    A good way to do this?

    In English? If you have specific issues, you need to explain them properly and provide technical information like system specs, details about your files and so on. Feel free to post in your native language. That's what the Translate button is for...

  • Xerox Stapling Capability From Illustrator Lost with upgrade to CS5

    I work for a company that manufactures pinback buttons. Our process is as follows: Our customers upload the artwork for their buttons. We layout up to 35 pieces of that artwork on a single 8.5x11 sheet in Illustrator then send that to print a stack of sheets depending on the quantity of the button order. For example if the order was for 500 1" round buttons, we layout a sheet with 35 pieces of artwork, then print a stack of 15 pages. Which will give 525 pieces of artwork for production. Our printer, a Xerox 700 Digital Press, is set to finish with a double staple on the left. Then we manually staple the other 3 sides, so the stack is held secure when the art is die-cut from the sheets.
    We upgraded to CS5 from CS3 last year. When we had CS3 we could send a print job of 15 pages from Illustrator and we would get a stack of 15 pages stapled. Now printing from Illustrator CS5 the stapler is bypassed. We only get unstapled stacks. We will get stapled stacks from other software, ie: Word, Acrobat, Mail, just not from Illustrator. The printer's stapling capabilities were a very helpful feature as it would ensure a better registration from sheet to sheet than stapling by hand. This leads to less reprinting to compensate for crooked, or off-register die cuts.
    Something in the upgrade to CS5 killed our stapler from Illustrator. I've contacted Xerox on this issue, and since I can get it to staple from other software, they sent me to Adobe. I contacted Adobe, who didn't understand my issue at all. "But sir, there are no settings for stapling in Illustrator." Thank god for outsourcing. Which brings me here.
    Any Ideas?

    I'm currently running OSX 10.6.7 with Illustrator CS5 15.0.2.
    The latest print driver available for our printer is from February of 2010, which we are up to date on.
    Here's a screenshot of the Command Workstation settings for the virtual printer I'm sending to, you can see that left double stapling is selected on the fifth line from the bottom:
    I just did a test print using these Fiery Features settings from Illustrator:
    The result was six pages unstapled.
    Now, I've created a pdf of the same document. Printing from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8, with these settings:
    The result is a stapled 6 page stack.
    The workaround solution is to create pdfs and print from Acrobat, but this adds unnecessary steps and time to our process.

  • Did Illustrator designers seriously upgrade 2014 without allowing it to download previously saved

    workspaces??  At present, Illustrator CC 2014 and CC 64 bit are opening in separate windows and CC 64 is as I worked hard to make it; 2014 is doing its own thing and saved workspaces are nowhere to be found!  Are all my previously saved workspaces really gone???

    Oh, so they were too lazy to make it automatic! SMH!
    Now, you will have to do more for me, I'm at a loss as to what do with your solution--but boy am I glad that you have one!!

  • No Standalone Upgrade Pathway For CS6 Apps

    As many of you who are regular in the forums know, I am a supporter and early adopter of Creative Cloud.
    However as few you are ready to admit, I'm not a blind sheep drinking the red Adobe Koolaid...
    There are in fact glaring flaws in Adobe Creative Cloud, both in terms of the business model and some the Applications methods.
    One of these is the overall upgrade pathway which has changed dramatically...
    On top of limiting the Upgrade Pathway to 2 versions back (CS5 and 5.5), Standalone products have been elimintated from the upgrade pathway.
    As many of you know the standalone upgrade pathway has been a beneift Adobe has provided since CS was first introduced over 10 years ago.
    Now only Bundle users of these previouis versions can upgrade. Anyone else has to buy new Bundles outright meaning that their older standalone license provides no addtional value or upgrade opportunity/savings as it had in the past.
    I pesronally don't understand this from a business point of view as announcing this change and allowing 6 months before closing the standalone upgrade would have been financially beneficial. See unlike most people who are complaining about Creative Cloud subscription model, I don't believe Adobe is doing it to "rake in the cash" or because its a "scam".
    If that were true, announcing the upgrade pathway for Standalone products would be ending and putting a countdown clock would have made them huge revenue as I anticipate the following would have taken place:
    Standalone users of Products like InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects and Flash, would have upgraded to Design Standard, Design Premium, Production Premium or Web Premium to get the most out of their Standalone product in terms of savings without moving to Creative Cloud, and to be able to leverage those other products without moving from the box model if they plan to expand their business in the future.
    Studios and Agencies with older individual boxed products would have upgraded to take advantage of savings and still be able to stay out of Creative Cloud.
    Freelancers using any one of the three "Trinity Products" (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) would have upgrade for the $500 difference as this is less than a year of Creative Cloud and would allow them to keep a box product if they plan expanding their services within the scope of the Trinity.
    While I don't appreciate this as I was looking at getting some value and savings out of some old standalone products I have on various machines throughout the years, it tells me for certain that there is more to this than money (which I realized early and have been trying to point out).
    It may be a STRONG ARM and forceful tactic, but Adobe is trying to move as many people as possible on to a SINGLE CODE BASE and they anticipate they will be able to do it within 3-5 years using their current aggressive strategy.
    Why some of you may not care, those of you who are either into technology, do alot of collaboration or are intruiged by some Adobe's business decisions will want to read on about what I'm seeing here.
    Those of you who have ever had to manage a large website without the benefit of a CMS know that when you have to update something "minor" it can have major implecations. Especially if certain indivual pages or functionality were "inherited" from how someone else coded the site before you and changing too many things to be more efficient would require a complete tear down and overall. Adobe CC was that tear down and overall as they scrapped much of the legacy code that was still around in CS6 (which also had huge coding overhauls). For example, there was a lot of junk code in the Mac version of InDesign even in CS6 and they upgraded that product to a 64bit version, which is a huge deal when you are doing 1000 page technical manuals in InDesign...
    Now imagine that you have to manage maintaining for all OS versions for the forseeable future all 12 of the main Applications in versions CS3- CS6 and CC that is over 70 Applications to maintain the codebase for. Imagine being told you have to maintain that many websites, all with their own indiviudal logic, quirks and standards with huge gaps of inconsistency in between.
    Now imagine you could make the decision to only have to maintain 24 and eventually just 12...
    Now if your in video production or print production, imagine you never have to export or package your files to accomodate for the fact you and someone else may be on a different Adobe version.
    Now you can see why these tactics are being enforced even though in the short term they actually cost Adobe money and potentially even customers. Its a long end game based in the logistics of support, management and reallocating those resources to moving forward and eventually only ever building around a singular code base. Instead of Adobe dividing resources and attention across the legacy products everything will laser focused on maintaining what I refer to as "Adobe Solid (CS6-CC)" vs "Adobe Legacy (CS1-CS5.5)". Even just supporting "Modern Adobe (CS3-CS5.5)" would be (and has been) very labor intensive.
    Microsoft made a similar attempt to reduce their burden by abandoning support of all Windows versions prior to Vista.
    When you detach from the emotional sense of shock, betrayal or what have you and put yourself in the position of making a productivity based decision that reduces your own overhead and cost, its hard not understand where Adobe is coming from here. In their situation I think most of us would make the same choices. Companies who make decisions based on customer reactions, shock value etc. instead of figuring out what is and is not sustainable.
    Also if you look at the long term in 3-5 years most Adobe users will be on either CS6 or CC. Eventually Adobe will not support CS6 on new operating systems which means 5-8 years from now we can expect the majority of Adobe users will be on Creative Cloud, consolidating the ecosystem ( a very Apple like idea actually). Eliminating several problems in terms of compatibility within the Creative Services Industry and reducing Adobe's burden in managing Adobe Legacy and thus internal cost, which will ideally translate eventually to reduced cost to customers or added value to the Creative Cloud product library.
    I can be optimistic in this way because of Adobe's track record in adding value and services, discounts etc in the past, and the fact they have not raised rates. Since CS was introduced over 10 years ago if anything the rates have gotten cheaper even while the software continues to improve. For all of what Photoshop did for the price 10 years ago, the price today is the same and its is so much more than a mere image editing progam, now capable of Video, Animation/Motion Graphics, 3D modeling, Some Web Design, it really is the swiss army knife  of the Creative Services Industry.
    So am I annoyed at the Upgrade pathway being narrowed down to nothing. Absolutely. Do I think it was done purely for greed. No. It doesn't make sense, I would literally be trying to give me money and they are not giving me a way to do it, because they aggressively are on a path that is about a larger goal than taking that money from me today. Do I feel alienated, yes on the surface. Do I still understand and support the decision, Absolutely.
    When something is the right choice, its the right choice, regardless of whether it is right for you. I can't argue with practicallity even when I'm screwed by it, so all I can do is try to be on the right side of it, and get over it when I'm not. It's not something I recommend taking personally.
    There were people who couldn't appreciate this when the transition from film to digital was taking place. Where are they now. The times they are a changing.

    I have to respectfully disagree with you.... Adobe has changed to a company all about profit. For me profit is not a dirty word. we all need it to stay in business...
    However... I purchased my CS6 collection completely online... I can update it when I choose... and I own it... last year we had the choice to own or rent..
    I chose to own.... I dont begrudge the renters I merely want choice...  Adobe removed choice because it realized it could turn us into digital addicts... stop renting
    and yes your files dont vanish but you cant use them... .... dont confuse software evolution with monopolisation and Digital Racketeering. ..Adobe made almost a Billion
    dollar NET profit last year...I think they deserved it... but gouging users is not the way to go....
    The answer I normally get here is well stay on CS6... and I will..... the out pouring of hate with the cloud is because so many users actually love adobe products.. I know
    I do... There will be a gap in the market for about two years as other companies replace Adobes products... but it will happen.. I like many others will wait it out...
    For me the ones I feel sorry for are Adobe employees who are left with the fallout of this horrendous decisicion... I salute you from afar....

  • Font names are invisible in Ai CS5 after upgrading to OSX 10.10 Yosemite

    Hello,
    I am having a minor drawback on Adobe Illustrator CS5 after upgrading my iMac to OS X 10.10 Yosemite. The thing is when trying to select a font form a Type>Font selection mostly all font names are invisible. This only happens in Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign works fine. I have attached a screenshot of what I am  seeing: after hovering with my mouse pointer over the particular font the name appears, but otherwise not.
    I will also address this issue to Apple support as well.
    Waiting for your reply.

    donelaitis,
    I believe post #15 in this thread may give the solution.

  • CS6 Illustrator: Gradiant Problem

    I have just installed the new CS6 and aside from a couple headaches, one of the most annoying things is that I can no longer see my gradian tool... I used to be able to edit my gradiant like changing the shape to an oval and moving it around...
    Is this some annoying default feature that I fix?
    Thank you in advance
    - Splizzy

    Which version of Illustrator are you upgrading from?
    After you apply your gradient using the Gradient panel, click on the Gradient tool from the toolbar. Then select the object you applied the gradient to, and the gradient editor should appear, as shown below. With this, you can resize your gradient, move it around, or change the shape using the handles on the outside of the gradient.
    If you're still having problems, it may be a setting issue, as Wade mentioned.

  • Updated CS6 and OS X to 10.10 Yosemite and Illustrator won't open

    I just did an adobe update for CS6 and OS X and now my illustrator won't open. It doesn't launch. It was working yesterday before the Adobe update.
    I get the message that has "Error Code: 0x00000014" in the coding, along with a bunch of other technical stuff I will never be able to wrap my head around. Anyone else have this problem or a solution to fixing it? Please help.

    Apple have provided an update to the Java Runtime that Illustrator uses. I couldn't open Illustrator when I upgraded to Yosemite, but I found this, and it's worked fine.

  • Issues opening both Illustrator and Calendar in OSX Mavericks

    Hello, I'm experiencing issues opening my calendar and illustrator applications since upgrading to mavericks. Both applications run fine on my guest account, so I'm assuming that the problem originating from my main account on the computer. Basically what happens is the application icon will bounce in the dock, the light will go on, but nothing comes up. No windows, etc. The file menu is responsive to clicking but won't actually open any windows. One thing that I keep seeing repeated in messages like this is the use of the Clean My Mac application. I'm unsure, but is it possible that this program deleted some necessary files? If so, how can I get those files back without wiping my computer and re-installing mavericks?

    Also, I discovered that by hitting control+M (Minimize) you can actually see the application in the dock, and upon un-minimilazing it, it dissappears. Very frusterating.

  • Using Quark/Photoshop/Illustrator

    I am about to buy a MacBook Pro, but have a few questions about software I may need some help with. I know that until the relevant upgrades are available, everything will run a little more slowly than I would expect, but am assuming that I can at least use my existing software in the meantime.
    Quark
    I currently have Quark 5 and intend to upgrade to 7. However, will I be able to install 5 OK in order to upgrade?
    Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
    I know I’m a dinosaur in this department but I don’t use them much so don’t need all-singing all-dancing right now. I have all the installer discs for Photoshop 5.5 and Illustrator 8 with upgrade discs to Photoshop 7 and Illustrator 10. Same question – will I be able actually to install these antediluvian versions in order to upgrade them with the upgrade discs? I will then upgrade the lot when Adobe bring out their compatible upgrades, but I understand that won’t be for a while yet. Any tips on when is best to install them as I have read that people have been having problems with installing them unless done somewhere near the beginning?
    I was using all of this software on a G4 to which I no longer have access so will have to reinstall everything from scratch.
    Any advice (eg. chuck the lot and buy new software, ha ha) would be gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You old versions of your software are all Classic apps I believe, Quark 5, Photoshop 5.5 and Illustrator 8 so you will not be able to install them as the Intel Macs dont support Classic Environment.
    I'm pretty sure you dont need to have them installed anyway for an upgrade to work. When installing your new software, youll just need to pop in the disk for the old software so the new software installer can scan it.
    Otherwise, If you still have your old system. Make a backup of the Application folders in their current state to a CD, you can then use this for the new software to scan. This worked for me with an older copy of Photoshop anyway.
    Nick.

  • Can Adobe Illustrator 5.5 work on Mac OS9 or OSX?

    I have Adobe Illustrator 5.5 and need to read some files that were created using this program. However I am uncertain whether this program can be installed on my iMac OSX (10.1.5) or on the OS 9 that is also on this iMac.  Can anyone help?

    Nobody has Illustrator CS5.5 yet. I believe Illustrator was not upgraded, so it may still be branded as CS5. So I will assume you are using Illustrator 5.5 from the ’90s. My guess is it will run on Mac OS 9. It may run in older OS-X versions, but I would bet against it.
    Current versions of Illustrator can read your old 5.5 files. You can install a 30 day fully functional demo of the current version to test or convert them.
