Illustrator CS4 [TAdd] error

This keeps popping up everytime I open Illustrator. It's preventing me from using keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know how I can fix this? It's really annoying

designcrave,
It could be a normal preference corruption, so you migth try to Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option+Shift during startup, or to Move the folder.
Or it could have something to do with a corrupt font since it stops during font updating. If you have installed new fonts recently, you may try to move them out of the fonts folder and see.
There could also be other reasons.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS4 [TAdd] Error HELP NEEDED!

    I recently restored my HP Workstation and began the process of installing Adobe CS4. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until I clicked both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat.
    Adobe Illustraitor presents the [TAdd] Error while it is loading up the font menu during it's opening.
    I've been looking all over for answers and so far haven't found any. Please help!
    Thanks

    I'm not sure about the [TAdd] error, but if it's crashing while loading fonts, it's likely to be corrupt font caches.

    If that doesn't help, then you can always try deleting your illustrator preferences, as they get corrupt from time to time as well.

  • Illustrator CS4 install error: Color EU settings

    Hi everyone,
    I've been trying to install Illustrator CS4 for the past few days, I have updated my DirectX and all my VGA drivers in hopes of getting it to work.
    Every time I try, I end up with this error message:
    "Error:
    Error 1603. Error 1714.The older version of Adobe Color EU Extra Settings CS4 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
    What on earth is this Adobe Color EU extra settings? Any chance I can delete them manually??
    Here are my PC specs:
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
    RAM: 2GB
    Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+
    VGA: Nvidia Asus EN7600GS 512mb (with latest drivers and DirectX 10)
    Free Disk space on Install drive: 12GB
    Oh well, I hope somebody here know whats going on..
    Cheers,
    Ahsu

    Color Profile information installed by a previous version of Adobe programs. Check C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color and C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color, but before dig into the install log to exactly find out what it is trying to delete. It's located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers and either ends with *.log or *.log.gz. There should be a mention of "Failure" regarding the deletion of the files in question somewhere in it.

  • Illustrator CS4 unknow  error message

    Hello
    I am working on PC, Windows 7, Illustrator CS4 , and since few days this message appears each time I try to open a file :
    "an unknow error has occured".
    I have re loaded  Illustrator but the problem is still here.
    What can I do ?
    Thank you

    koukleve,
    Is it only one file (which may be corrupted), or all files?
    If it applies to all files, you have already been through 1) on the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Illustrator CS4 [cant] error message when opening

    Hi all,
    I've just installed Illustrator CS4 twice and still get this error. i'm running it on a Dell 745 with Windows XP SP3.
    When I open Illustrator I get the following error message
    "adobe illustrator cs4 operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
    tried to google it but can't see anyone else having the same problem.
    any ideas?
    Cheers

    Well, it hangs on Updating font menu, according to the splash screen. Ergo, the most likely reason is, that you have a "bad" font on your system. Remove it and AI should launch. And before you ask: Yes, remove all fonts that are not system fonts. You can add them back step by step later to find out which one exactly caused the problem.

  • Illustrator CS4 Runtime error

    Whenever I try to start a new file or open an existing file I get the message
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library
    Runtime error
    I have read dozens of comments about this issue and tried everything, I have Core Duel Quad processor XP SP-3 alle updates, 2 GB RAM, I ereased all preference files. Photoshop works fine, Dreamweaver too.
    I had many years Illustrator 9, worked fine, now I want to try CS4.
    Any help?
    Thanks
    lonerider

    Runtime errors usually point to driver conflicts/ conflicts with other software. In your case possibly simply the PDF libraries already installed by Photoshop are causing issues. I recommend you simply use the CS4 Clean Utility to unregister your other installs, then try to re-install Illustrator. For other potential causes, we need more info. Graphics card? Graphics tablet? Printers? For the latter two, uninstalling them or at least disabling them may allow Illu to launch...

  • Illustrator CS4 plugin problem after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

    I just upgrade my OS X Maverick to Yosemite, and found my adobe illustrator CS4 got error while i open it.
    it shown missing plugin of  photoshopimport.aip....
    Anyone know how to solve this problem??

    Yosemite has several features that I have been looking forward to and will continue to use. I find them extremely useful.
    I've hated Adobe since I first bought Pagemaker in the early 90's. If I was a heavy user I would be using their cloud CS anyway but I'm not. I can't justify the cost. Smaller more accessible companies are eager to pick up us cast offs from Adobe. I for one am looking forward to leaving Adobe behind.
    FWIW saving an image as a PDF in Photoshop works fine for me.

    過去の質問やネットの質問サイトを見ても、完全に該当する記事が見当たらず、お手上げ状態です。

  • Illustrator CS4 Not Starting (no error messages)

    I'm running into a problem trying to run Illustrator CS4.  It has worked int he past, but I've gone a month or two without touching it. Yesterday I installed a trial version of Photoshop CS4, which ran fine.  Today I tried to start up Illustrator and I can't get the program running.
    Illustrator will startup and show the 'License Agreement' screen where you can accept or decline.  If I click on Accept the screen disappears and then nothing happens.  If I watch the processes on the task manager, I see that Illustrator is running, but it stops about 10 seconds after the agreement screen disappears.
    After searching the forums here, I've uninstalled Photoshop (thinking there was a conflict), uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator several times with no luck.  Taking suggestions from the forums and thinking that it might be licensing issues, I ran clean up tools and the license recovery tools, with no luck.  I even tried to move out some fonts even though it doesn't get that far.  I've gone in and tried deleting what preference files I could.  I even logged on as a different user to see if there was a corrupt file (no go).
    At this point I have no idea what's going wrong.  It simply doesn't start up and I have no errors (Are there log files that I'm missing somewhere?)  Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I'm at my wits end. :/
    Thanks
    Windows XP SP3
    4 Gigs of ram

    ran fine before :b

    But are you running with full administrative privileges? AI hanging after the l.a., is a pretty clear indicator that the respective signature/ lock files for the licensing system cannot be created. Log in as administsrator and try to launch AI. If it works, then AI should work again under any user account. alsop check, whether the licensing service actually launches. May similarly be a problem with the service (FNPlicensingservice.exe) not starting and thus no license file being created.

  • Illustrator CS4 error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"

    I am working on a Mac 10.10 Yosemite with Adobe Illustrator CS4 however every time I try to open Illustrator it brings up error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip". I can't click on the OK button and the only thing I can do is force quit the application. How do I solve this problem so I can work on my files again?

    I have found the solution in another forum that finally seems to have worked!
    The last comment I haven't yet experienced as I quit photoshop and was still able to open illustrator without problems and without the help of photoshop afterwards.
    But happy for now that this works.
    OK, had the same issue, found a work around, not a fix.
    1     Force quit Illustrator.
    2     Start Photoshop CS4
    3     Start Illustrator CS4
    4     when you get the alert popup, with Photoshop now open, it allows me to click on "don't show again", and click "OK"
    5     quit Photoshop
    Now Illustrator should continue to work so long as it is open.
    Illustrator will continue to freeze on start unless you 1st open Photoshop.

  • Error loading photoshopimport.aip plugin in Illustrator CS4

    Hello, I'm currently using Illustrator CS4 and just updated my Mac to OS X Yosemite.  After installing the new software, I've got some bugs with Illustrator.  Namely, upon opening the program, I get the message "Error loading plugins". The plugin in question is "photoshopimport.aip".  I'm not sure if this is related to the next issue - I'm no longer able to open .tif files in Illustrator and says that they are "an unknown format and cannot be opened".  I have uninstalled and re-installed all Adobe programs, but I still get the same error messages.
    Naturally, most of the work I do is in Illustrator with .tif files.  Can anyone offer some help with these problems?  Is this a case of the new OS X and CS4 having compatibility issues?  Am I going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a newer version of Adobe?  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    CS4 was - I don't know - 5 years ago?
    In the meantime Apple has changed the development platform (you need software to develop other software) at least once. It would be kind of an effort to update all the old code. You first need to port it to the new development platform then update what doesn't work then go through all the testing etc. etc.
    Kind of like the old yearbook you did back in the days in Quark XPress 3 and now that you have long switched to InDesign they ask you to dig that up to change some of the images and fix those 7 typos in the articles. I mean why do you charge that much for it, should be done in 20 minutes.
