Illustrator CS2 will not open (I do think it can be acrobat)

Illustrator, hangs at the  startup screen when “reading fonts”.
I have read about the acrobat issue but I am running on Mac 10.6.5 the Adobe reader 9.4.1
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468.html
I read many forums and the above link fixed the issue for people.
If I am not using 8.2 then what else can be going on ?
It might be a font issue. I am not sure how to tes that.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I do not use the program often and wanted to give it a try again.

It might be a font issue. I am not sure how to tes that.
Open your Font book application and remove/ disable any fonts you do not currently need, then selectively reenable/ add them back until the issue reoccurs.

  • Appleworks 6, photoshop and Illustrator CS2 will not open!! Am I totally screwed?? or does someone have a solution, the most expensive £20 I've spent as I have lost my livelihood!! HEEEELLLPPP

    Please HELP ME!!!

    All of those applications are PowerPC applications, which will no longer work in Lion. You really should have done your research before you upgraded. The only 2 solutions are: Go back to Snow Leopard OR upgrade your apps. I would recommend upgrading your apps. AppleWorks was discontinued a long time ago. I would suggest Pages or Microsoft Word.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 will not open.

    I have a problem: the illustrator app will not open. I get the pop-up: To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. Click "More Info..." to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website.
    Both clicking "More Info..." and "OK" only make the pop-up disappear, but lead absolutely nowhere.
    From Oracle.com I have already downloaded and installed 'jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg'. After install and restart i keep getting the same pop-up as before and i still can't open Ai. Any advice?

    hi,
    I updated from mavericks to Yosemite today which was a very bad idea. I had issues with my internal sound adapter and the system start is now very slow. I might going back to mavericks..
    However, I wish the above link you gave here would work. After clicking the blue download button nothing happens. Any other idea how I could go back from my actual java 8-31 back to java 6?
    Thanks, H

  • CS2 will not open. Greeted with "Your Adobe Photoshop user name...

    CS2 will not open. Greeted with message "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit." I click OK and PS closes. I've been using this regestered copy on this PC (running Vista 32) for years (daily or at least weekly) without problem until today. Any ideas on how I can get it working again? I have disc somewhere? Thank you.

    Unfortunately your cs2 disc is no good except for the things such as the goodies or extras that came on the cd, because adobe disabled the activation servers for cs2 products.
    You can try this:
    (in other words something removed the info from the windows registry)

    More than likely though, you'll have reinstall photoshop cs2 using the new non activating installer.
    Use just the photoshop cs2 download and serial on that page.

    Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I guess you mean one of the resume templates.
    What "format" have you saved your finished resume in?
    The only formats a Windows user will be able to open are .doc (Word), .pdf and rtf. The 1st 2 are usually the best.
    There is no Windows version of Pages.

  • Photoshop CS2 will not open to double click in Snow Lepard

    Since loading Snow Leopard I have been unable to open Photoshop files with a double click. Double clicking .psd file opens PS with the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Right click "open with" gets the same result. I CAN open files through the file menu in PS. But, files opened via the file menu and saved as... will not open with a double click.
    The "Open with" in the file info window reads "Adobe Photoshop CS2". Even forcing it to open in Preview and then back to PS CS2, sort of like hitting it with a hammer, does not improve the situation.
    CS2 on and year old dual quad.
    Before you knee jerk a "CS2, what did you expect..." CS2 seems to work fine once open. And I have access to another brand new iMac 24" with CS2 and Snow Leopard that does not have this problem, files open with a double click.
    On my troubled machine the thousands of files in question opened yesterday, pre Snow Leopard. I have found a few PS files that are several years old that do open to a double click.
    Thoughts?

    In a partial answer to my own question...
    I have discovered that the Adobe CS2 files (as well as Illustrator CS2, Microsoft Office X, Silo, etc.) will open with a double click in some cases.
    Files on my main hard drive (Mac pro dual quad with four one terabyte hard drives, Snow Leopard 10.6.1) is a RAID made up of two of the internal terabyte hard drives will not open with a double clip. (They do open via the file menu in the given program).
    But files on non-RAID drives open with a double click as expected.
    It appears that the RAID drive (Apple software RAID) is the culprit.
    It is likely that a simple fix from Apple in the operating system to correct the opening of files with a double click from an Apple sotware RAID drive would solve the problem as the various programs all work fine otherwise with Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not open in XP Professional

    Hello,
    Although I am running Windows XP Professional AI CS4 will not open on my computer.
    Photoshop and InDesign work perfectly but Illustrator seems unable to recognize the XP operating system and gives an error message accordingly.
    Please see the attachment.
    If anyone has any ideas about how to cure this please tell me.
    Thanks for your consideration,
    cobaltgreen

    If I recall correctly, the issue is introduced by an incorrect install/ update of .NET runtimes (one of the newer versions, 3.5 I think). I've seen the message myself on one of my systems, but I'm not really sure how I fixed it. Reason however dictates, that manually initiating a Windows Update or downloading .NET installers from Microsoft's pages, would be one thing to try. If the solution floats to the top from the murky depths of my brain, I'll report back.

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

  • Illustrator 10 will not open

    I recently purchased a new pc and it comes with Windows7 Operating System.
    I have Adobe Illustrator 10.03 and it worked perfectly with Windows XP my earlier operating system.
    I also recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO and I'm hping this is not causing my Illustrator to not work.
    Now that I have an updated operating system, Windows 7,  my Illustrator 10.3 does not open whn I clic on it.
    Instead  the Illustrator screen appears or a few seconds and then disappears.  I've tried to repair and modify but still no luck.
    Anyone know why my Illustrator application will not work?
    Thanks.

    Emjayy,
    It could very well be a preference corruption.
    You may try to  Move the folder with Illustrator closed (click Move the folder when you have followed the link).
    This is a reversible way of resetting the preferences to the defaults; they are not reset when you uninstall and reinstall.

  • Illustrator CC2014 will not open

    For starters:
    I'm on a Mac, 10.10.1 Yosemite.
    Starting this morning, my Illustrator will not open. The last few weeks it has been operating just fine. What happens is I get to a blank welcome screen, the first sign that something is wrong. I'll click that away and simply try to open a new document and it will just hang there. Right clicking on the icon tells me that the "Application not responding..."
    Photoshop, InDesign and Bridge have no issues.
    I have uninstalled, shut down the computer and reinstalled Illustrator, twice, to no avail.
    I have run disk utility, no issues found.
    I have turned off most of my fonts to see if that was a cause, still won't open.
    I booted my Mac in Safe Mode by holding down Shift at startup and was able to open Illustrator however.
    Others in my department can use Illustrator just fine.
    ANY suggestions would be helpful.

    skiyewtah,
    You could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
    Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
