Illustrator CS11 still won't open in Tiger

I'd appreciate any thoughts or ideas. I've scoured through these posts and in other forums for a solution, but nothing works. I get this from the report but have no idea what it means...Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000006. I've updated the OS, updated Illustrator, disabled all but the system fonts, deleted Illustrator preference settings, repaired permissions, deleted .lst files and did shift/command/alt to reset prefs. Did one thing at a time, didn't work. Did everything at once, still didn't work. I have an iMac G5 I just got used with system wiped clean and Tiger freshly installed. Illustrator didn't work even before I updated the OS. I originally had CS on an eMac, transfered everything to an iMac w/intel duo/Tiger and now to the G5 iMac. All of the CS ran perfectly on the eMac and the intel iMac, but only Illustrator is giving me problems on the G5 iMac. Thanks in advance.

That didn't work either. I had to create a new user and for some reason that worked. Thanks!
That means you have corruption in the old user.

With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.

I have a copy of the original adobe illustrator and it won't open

I have a copy of the original adobe illustrator and it won't open. I will start to open and it kina freezes and then I have to force it to close. My photoshop of the same age will open and work but I also still have to force close it. I don't have the money to update and these older versions work fine for me what do I need to do to keep them working???

I have windows 7 and OSX for the original adobe suit CS
CS is CS1?
That's many years before Windows 7.
Which Mac OS is it? CS won't run on anything beyond 10.6 (maybe even earlier)

Attempted to install AirPort Utility 6.0 on my new mac mini. Install failed and now the previous version 5.5.3 won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 AirPort Utility still won't open? Help.

Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
Error Message:
None of the selected updates could be installed.
An unexpected error occurred.
Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Any sugestions?

I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

Are there any error messages? Mac or PC?

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

I had one of your technicians re-install Acrobat Pro and it still won't open. My technician was Rajat and he was reading from a manual. He did not appear to be competent. He told the case has to be escalated

I had a technician, Rajat, from a Adobe re-install Acrobat Pro. It still won't open. He said the case has to be elevated. How do I get help from someone in the United States?

Not one of my technicians. We are just fellow users of the product.
But if you start from the top and explain your problem we have a fair track record of helping. Some questions for you
- what version of Mac or Windows
- what version of Acrobat Pro
- what exactly happens when you try to open Acrobat Pro (error messages in full please)
- whether it ever worked and what changed?

ITunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open?

iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open. I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck. I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it. Can someone help?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Facetime is supposed to come with Mac OSX 10.9.1 right? It won't open until I sign in with Apple ID, it still won't open after signing in and the worst part, it doesn't recognise my Apple ID and asks me to sign in again and again...

Facetime is supposed to come with Mac OSX 10.9.1 right? It suddenlt requires me to sign in with Apple ID. So I did and it still won't open. The worst part is that it doesn't even recognize my Apple ID no matter how many times I try fill it out again and again. I've seen this happen when I first bought the Imac last year, it was fixed by replacing the host file (with some help from the community here). I did the same thing again, it didn't work.
Any idea please?

It's fixed by changing the account name (Apple ID) and password

Just Updated iTunes/Quicktime and it still won't open...

Ok so I have Windows XP and I went to open iTunes a little bit ago and it told me that iTunes couldnt open because I had Quicktime 7.0 and i needed at least 7.1.
So I downloaded a the newer version of iTunes and Quicktime 7.1 or whatever and it still won't open. I shut down and restarted my computer and it is still telling me the same error message. Its trying to tell me delete my iTunes or something and re-download it.
I'm really really afraid that I will lose most of my music library because I havent backed it up recently and I have a lot of purchased music and I really dont know what to do! Someone please help!
Windows XP

ok i just deleted Quicktime and then reinstalled 7.1 and everything works! iTunes and Quicktime both open and work like normal!
