Illustrator CS3 & CS4 crash on launch

Have used CS4 without problems on OSX 4.11 for 9 months. After doing an Adobe Update after Xmas, Illustrator started crashing on launch. Tried Illustrator CS3 and it crashed too. InDesign crashes when I try to export or package or place anything from Illustrator. Bridge has crashed a few times. Photoshop stable but gives "quit unexpectedly" message when I close it. Have uninstalled entire Design Suite CS4 & CS3. Reinstalled CS3. Trashed Acrobat Reader 9 and all Adobe prefs and settings that I could find. When I trashed the newest Illustrator CS3 settings folder from the User Library it made Illustrator take less time to crash on launch. I am missing my deadlines. What to do?

What to do?
Handle these things correctly. Sorry to say so, but you made your own mess.
- Uninstall everything Adobe using the proper uninstallers as far as possible
- Run the CS3 and CS4 Clean Scripts from the support pages
- Delete the caps.db in Library:Application Support:Adobe:caps
- reinstall - first CS3 + updates, then all CS4+updates

Illustrator CC2014 keeps crashing on launch....help i'm on a mac running maverick

My illustrator program keeps crashing upon launch
i called tech support they fixed it
and the next day it's doing it again
I'm trying to contact them but they are closed
thanks for any help you can provide

Had same problem. I had the Wacom Inkling installed. You will need to remove that, or any other third party plug-ins and restart illustrator. Found this:
Solution
In the Finder, browse to the folder that contains Illustrator plug-ins.
Move all third-party plug-ins to a different folder.
(Important) Press and hold Command + Option + Shift, launch Illustrator, and keep the keys pressed until Illustrator launches. This step clears all Illustrator preferences.
Caution:It's necessary to press the keyboard combination (Command + Option + Shift) in the same order as mentioned above.
(Optional) If you require your third-party plug-ins when you use Illustrator, try adding one plug-in at a time. Each time you add a plug-in, ensure that you follow step 3 to start Illustrator.

I am running CS6 on a 2014 21" IMac version 10.9.5. I have an earlier version of Illustrator on CS4. When launching the CS$ Illustrator the message says "License for this product has stopped working". What can I do to get this to work?

Mylenium,
Before downloading CS4 again, how do I uninstall the versions that are currently on my Mac?
Many thanks for your help!

Adobe illustrator updated now crashing on launch

I updated CC illustrator last night 7th Oct 2014, and this morning it crashes every time I launch it, all other CC apps work, is anyone else having this issue?

Since I posted the above I have installed Suitcase Fusion 6. Illustrator continued to crash at every launch.
I have tried opening with the Shift Option Command keys held down to rest the preferences. No change. I uninstalled Suitcase Fusion, removed all the plugins and tried again several times. Illustrator continues to crash at launch. I have run maintenance apps (Clean my Mac and Mac Keeper), I have also rebuilt my permissions in Disk Utility. No change. I downloaded and installed FontExplorer Pro. No change. I uninstalled Illustrator and redownloaded it. Despite deleting the preferences when I uninstalled Illustrator I now get a window asking me do I want to reopen windows that were open when Illustrator crashed. THERE WERE NO OPEN WINDOWS. When I dismiss this window (i have tried both choices: restore and not) Illustrator crashes.
I have now, today, between 9am and 11:26am AEDST have unsuccessfully tried to open Illustrator 18 times. It is still not open. I can't finish an urgent client project.
Is anyone at Adobe listening??

Illustrator CS3 for Windows upon launch crashes

Recently, bought an Apple iMac, installed Parallels virtual machine and installed my Windows XP Professional and installed my CS3 Premium. Every program works except Illustrator. It crashes every time I launch it getting the error message..."sorry for the inconvenience...'' and asks to send an error report. I have uninstalled and reinstalled every possible way, downloaded all the updates, and fixed the registry, repeatly and every time it fails.
I have been using CS3 on my HP laptop every since I got it and never had issues. My brother seems to think that my installation disk is scratched and messes up the download. So, basically, it somehow got scratched when I put it on my mac. Could this be an issue or is this something else?

Hello Again:
To follow up on my last post.. I had a real bad time with my computer most recently and had to recover it. Since I had a fresh install, I went with service pack 3. I use Windows XP.
I did install Web Developer Premium CS3, but left out Acrobat Professional. I also decided to go with the default mouse driver for Win XP. In Illustrator I turned off the save to clip board upon exit feature.
Now for the longest time, no matter how much I use Illustrator, I am not having any problems on exit. I am not exactly sure why other than I have a fresh install of my OS.
Also: It has been mentioned in other threads that Acrobat was the problem or the mouse driver was the problem or settings in preferences, or even the start up definition file (which I trashed and Illustrator reset it on start.)
So now I am happy to have Illustrator CS3 working well.
Thought I should repost.. thanks,
Michael R.

Photoshop CS3 & CS4 crashing on open (iMac 10.4.11)

I've had Photoshop CS3 for a while now and working just fine on my iMac OS X 10.4.11.
All of the sudden it started to crash upon opening it. Bridge opened fine, but when I double-click to open a file in Photoshop, it crashes too.
I have tried Disk Repair and Disk Permissions repair, I have tried un-installing Photoshop and reinstalling it.
I even downloaded the trial version CS4 and that crashes the same way too. I did upgrade the latest versions including Camera Raw. All updated. I do have 2 plug-ins (NoiseNinja & Portraiture) but I uninstalled them in the CS4 version. I also deleted my Photoshop Preference file.
The crash report say:
"2009-10-28 11:26:57.142 Adobe Photoshop CS4[652] CFLog (21): dyld returns 2 when trying to load /Library/ScriptingAdditions/QXPScriptingAdditions.osax/Contents/MacOS/QXPScriptingAdditio ns
SysBreakStr: An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred (primary). Exiting.
Oct 28 11:26:59 iMAC crashdump[654]: Adobe Photoshop CS4 crashed"
The MAC has 4GB of SDRAM and under "System Memory" it says Free: 1.82GB, but under "Disk USage" it says "Space Free: 108.96GB".
Any other ideas? I've been searching through forums, facts and online for over a day now. I'm a photographer in the middle of my busiest week & month of the entire year and this is really crippling my work.
Thank you
J

and where is the rest of the crash report?
Part of the problem might be with /QXPScriptingAdditions -- some sort of Quark addition?

InCopy CS4 Crashes On Launch

My co-workers in another office all received new MacBooks and now their InCopy CS4 will not launch after the migration. Instead, it just crashes immediately ("has quit unexpectedly") whenever they try and launch. I have had them try and reset the preferences with quick keys upon launch, but that's not working.
has anyone run into this or have any other solutions?
Thanks!
Cory

CS6 will have nothing to do with CS4…and by the way, there’s no point in moving InCopy users to CS6 unless the InDesign users move as well.

Indesign and Illustrator CS5.5 crash on launch?

Hi, since few days my Indesign and Illustrator (CS5.5 on OSX Lion) keep on crashing while launching. I de-installed and re-installed the entire CS5 Suite on my iMac already couple of times, but nothing changes. First I thought it might be a font problem, so I deleted all user fonts, but sadly this also didnt help. I already rang the Adobe tech support line but they are not very helpful at all... very frustrating. Anybody an idea what else I can do?

Everytime I try to launch Indesign or Illustrator CS5.5 they start launching but then crash during launch with the comment "Programme quit unexpectedly". Strange thing is that Photoshop and all other CS5.5 Design Premium components are launching and working fine. I am working on the iMac 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with 6MB with OSX Lion.

Modal dialog bug in Illustrator CS3, CS4 (Mac)

Using the latest point version of Illustrator CS3 and a newly installed copy of Illustrator CS4, I have noticed a consistent bug on at least two different Macs (10.5.5). This bug pops up when you have a text item with optical kerning, and you try to manually adjust the kerning between characters. The value in the kerning field of the Character Panel has parenthesis around the numbers to show that it is a calculated value. If you change the numbers, but accidentally leave the parentheses, a modal dialog pops up saying, "Invalid numeric value." It is not possible to dismiss this dialog, and it is necessary to force quit the program.
When the text is Auto-kerned, and one makes the same mistake, the parentheses are automatically removed for you.
Using Illustrator CS3 in Windows, the "Invalid numeric value" dialog pops up under the above scenario; however, one is able to dismiss this dialog and resume working.

I wasn't quite sure where to submit bug reports, which is why I posted here. However, I finally did find the bug report form on the Feedback tab of Adobe's Contact page. So I just reported this bug.

Adobe Contribute CS4 crashes on launch

Running OS X 10.6.2 on 17 in MacBook Pro
Just upgraded Adobe Contribute (v 4) to Adobe Contribute CS4 (v 5.0.2). The application crashes on launch. Tried booting in safe-mode but it made no difference. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no effect. Wiped out the preferences files and started over agin. No difference. Rather frustrating to pay $100 for an upgrade and the software is unusable.
Any suggestions?
The crash report indicates…..

Thanks for the advice - I did contact Adobe. I assume it will take 3 days for them to tell me to reinstall the CS4 suite.

Dreamweaver CS4 Crashes Upon Launch MacBook Pro

Dreamweaver CS4 keeps crashing upon launch on my MacBook Pro. I deleted preferences but still crashing.

SnakEyez02 wrote:
Are you receiving any error upon crashing? If so, what?
Also do you have the suite or just DW? If you have the suite you can de-activate all apps in the suite by opening another CS application and then re-install DW.
SnakEyez02,
I have the Suite.
The message I get:
"The application Dreamweaver quit unexpectedly. Mac OSX and other applications are not affected..."
Sigh! Seems I remember having to reinstall everything in the past. I was trying to get some work done today so I can start another job on Monday. Not sure I have time to do all this. I might just launch DWCS3 on the MBP, or go and use my G5 instead.
Thank you for responding. Just not what I hoped to hear.

AME CS4 crashes during launch

I've been using AME CS4 (4.2.0.006) with Premiere Pro CS4 onWindows XP for years, but now it always crashes during launch: "AppName: adobe media encoder.exe AppVer: 4.2.0.0 ModName: watchfolder.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00011f03"). I de-installed and re-installed Premiere with no result. Downloaded latest AME CS4 version. Didn't move watchfolder.dll. Deleted any "AMEPrefs.xml"-file. Any ideas?

Possibly the same problem as this?

Saving as Version 8 from Illustrator CS3/CS4..

Hi,
I am facing a problem and that is:
I have created a file with multiple indipendent paths in CS3/CS4 and saving it in Version 8, now when I open the file again in CS3 all the paths that I have renamed before loose there name.
eg: 1 turns back to <path>
Kindly suggest what to do.

Deepti Nanda,
I am afraid it is necessary to rename in 8. There is almost an abyss between CS3/CS4 and 8, and you are lucky you have not had to deal with the text engine issue (I hope).

InDesign and Illustrator CS4 Crash on launch

They crash so fast Console does not even record it.
Running 10.5.8
Ran CS3 and CS4 Cleaners
Tried disabling Fonts
Tried a new user account.
Tried updating AIR
Still no luck.
FWIW, I am using a Keyed version, but even if licensing was an issue, I would get a message that said so.
Help?

I just upgraded to 10.6.3, but my problem persists. Anyone know?

Is there a solution to Illustrator CC repeatedly crashing on launch after installation?

After a full successful installation of Illustrator CC, InDesign CC, Photoshop CC, Acrobat Pro CC and Bridge CC on my Mac Pro Desktop, I've been installing the same apps on my MacBook Pro.
I've successfully installed and launched InDesign CC, Bridge CC and Dreamweaver CC. However, after many attempts, I've eventually been able to install Illustrator CC on my MacBook Pro, but it crashes each time I try to launch it.
I have the crash log if it helps.

Hi creatorii,
You mentioned about many attempts required to install Illustrator, Did you encounter any errors during the install?
A few standard troubleshooting steps I'd like you to test out:
1. Check the user / disk permissions.
2. Starting your computer in Safe boot mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
3. Creating a new user account / Root user account ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 )and see if the issue persists
