Illustrator cs4 will not open

I have tried everything Illustrator CS4 will not open

That is evil, is it not? Sorry, but you need to be more specific - operating system, system specs, what you have tried so far, error messages that may come up.

  • 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,

    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.

  • I've upgraded my Mac OS to Yosemite and now Illustrator CS4 will not open.

    I'm guessing I am too far behind to upgrade to the latest version of Illustrator and I also am not really clear on using Illustrator in the cloud but I need to work on my existing CS4 files so not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

    j,
    You may prevent/deal with the error message as long as Illy is open in the following way:
    1) Start up Photoshop first, then Illy;
    2) When the error occurs, click Don't show again, and click OK;
    You may close down Photoshop after that.
    If you get the error message without having Photoshop open, close down Illy and start with 1).
    By the way, I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?
    Also you may need to update drivers (Wacom and others).
    If you run into the Java issue, you should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

    It is even more thoroughly described in this thread, see post #3 on by gator soup:

  • 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

  • CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

    CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

    Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open after system upgrade to Mac OSX Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite and unfortunately, my Photoshop CS4 will not open. The message says it requires Java SE6. I now have Java 7 update 71. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone who can help to resolve this problem. Thank you.

    Thank you very much, Chris Cox. I followed the link in the error message to Apple's support page, downloaded and installed the Java for Mac OSX.
    I can now open my PS CS4 again. What a relief!
    Many thanks for your fast response and accurate advice.
    Cheers!

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

  • PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro

    PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro. Pop-up windows inform me that the scratch disk is not available. I would appreciate any advice on how to rectify this problem.
    Thanks
    marco

    Thanks avanishdivya.
    I was hoping to avoid that route, but guess it's all I can do.
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do you know if it is a Carbon Copy Cloner issue or just the way Adobe sets it up?
    For future reference, where should the scratch disk reside? I heard it should not be on the boot drive?

  • Received jpg CS4 will not open

    I received a jpg from a customer today that CS4 will not open but CS3 will. CS4 just hangs. I closed down the program and tried this several times. CS4 opens other jpgs just fine.
    I am on a Mac Pro w/5 gig of RAM. Have experience no other problems.

    Yes you probably lost a pixel or two when you saved it as a jpeg again. But, since they are sending you a jpeg in the first place I'm going to take a guess that it's just so you can preview it.
    Also, this issue is not consistent. If it were true that every time someone received a jpeg it didn't open in CS4, the forums would be flooded.
    Odds are it's just saved with something strange that is tripping CS4 up (like an ICC profile). It could be 3rd party add-ons. Could be preferences. If you start seeing it happen more from this particular person but not from others, then it's probably a setting applied to the jpeg on her end.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open newer RAW format

    I have CS4 with latest updates, Camera Raw 5.7  and my CR2 images will not open.  I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3i.
    I have searched for over 2 hours looking for a solution and according to what I have read I should have what I need to open these files.
    When I go into Adobe Exchange to find a possible program, it takes me to a page that wants me to download the Adobe Exchange Panel. However
    this is only available to CC or CS6, neither of them I have. I can't get past this page.  So I guess Exchange no long exists for those of us with older programs.
    I really hardly ever use this program, but since I need it to open my RAW photos.
    I can't afford to upgrade this program at this time and I find it odd they cut off the Exchange area for everything else. 
    If someone could help me figure out how to get my photos to open in this program without having to buy yet another program that would be wonderful.
    I do not use this enough to justify the cost of the upgrade.   What is missing that I need?  The compaitable chart says I have the correct version for my camera.  I am at a loss.
    I am sure somewhere someone has asked this before, but for the life of me I can't find one that is based on my criteria, that will help me with my problem.
    Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
    My System specs:
    Intel Core2 Quad Q9400  2.66GHZ
    4GB Memory
    GeForce GTX 460 Video 1GB Dedicaed Memory
    64Bit Windows 7

    The Canon T3i was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.4
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    ACR 6.4 is only compatible with CS5 and later. It is not compatible with CS4 so CS4 cannot open Raw T3i files..
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    To open Raw files in Photoshop, your options are to update to CS6 or the Cloud.
    The other option is to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert all Raw files from the T3i to DNGs. That adds an extra step to your workflow every time you shoot photos. Then open and edit the DNGs in CS4.

    If you hardly touch Photoshop, another option may be to buy Photoshop Elements 12. Then you can open and edit Raw files from the T3i but you'll have the more limited Elements toolset. You could then export to TIFF and open the TIFFs in CS4 if necessary.
