Illustrator CS4 won't open

I recently got a brand new 27 inch Imac, and put CS4 on it. Every program in the suite and even Lightroom work great, EXCEPT illustrator.
The load screen some on, and when it gets to initializing plug ins "PDF suite" it ALWAYS crashes.
I've created new users, i've trashed all corrupt and duplicate fonts, i've opened in safe mode and downloaded 3rd party files to clear the font cache, i've deleted the settings folder and the com.adobeblahblah.pls file. I've repaired file permissions. I've installed, reinstalled, and done the same with multiple different dmg files. NOTHING I've read so far works. One thing it HAS done however is make my Airport rather unstable.
Needless to say, it's insanely frustrating to buy a brand new computer, just to have to still use the old mac book for all designing needs.
please, any other tips someone has would be incredible. I'm about to throw this off the roof.

This is what I would do under these conditions.
deactivate the suites
go to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and use the removal application to uninstall the suite
I would then wipe the sytem and reinstall it
I would then update the system using the software updater
I would then before installing any thing else install the suite
then launch Illustrator all should be fine, unless of course you decide not to follow the instruction which means you cannot load your fonts or third party plug ins or system utilities or hacks etc.
You have to launch Illustrator first. And do nothing else.
Your third part y stuff and or fonts are causing the problem more that likely after you have successfully launch Illustrator you can load the other stuff. after you load or install a software launch Illustrator to see which one causes the problem then uninstall that app or font and all should be fine.
That is what I would do.

Illustrator CS4 won't open any files since installing CS6

Every since I installed CS6, whenever I try to open files in Illustrator (all files, not just the new downsaved from CS6 files), the program goes into "Not Responding" and I can't do anything until I crash out. It also will not let me create new files.
I've tried deleting my Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder as I saw suggested in another discussion, but it did not help.
Since my CS6 trial is ending soon and I'm not sure about upgrading yet, I really need my CS4 to be functional.
I'm running WIndows Vista 64 bit. Never had any problems with Illustrator before this.
Any suggestions?

Ok, so I uninstalled Illustrator CS4, ran the CS Cleaner Tool, which messed up all my other CS4 programs, reinstalled the whole CS4 Suite, and Illustrator CS4 STILL won't open files (or allow me to create new ones). I only have two days left on my CS6 trial and I'm not sure if I'm upgrading right away, so I really need to figure out a way to make my AI CS4 work soon!

I installed Lion and now CS4 won't open. I get a note that Java Runtime needs to be installed and to open Adobe again and it will let me, but it doesn't and it also won't update Java...

I installed Lion and now CS4 won't open. I get a note that sayd "you need to install Java runing, but you are not connected to the internet (BUT I AM CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET). It goes on to say "to install Java runtime later, open "Adobe Illustrator CS4" again....I try but it still won't let me open Adobe Illustrator or update Java

I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

dchasin,
You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum. What have you tried so far to resolve your difficulties? Have you tried removing and reinstalling Illustrator? If so did you receive an error message during the install process?

CS4 won't open now

Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

Do you have SoundFlower installed?
Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

Illustrator CS4 won't start, even after reïnstalling.

I reïnstalled the whole Suite but Illustrator still won't start. When I try to open Illustrator the orange windows pops up and you see that parts are being loaded but then it shuts down and is gone. I'm on Windows8.

it can't hurt to try downloaded installation files.
again, uninstall and clean before installing.

Hi-- I just tried to open AI from Creative Cloud and it won't open. This may have had to do with a cleanup operation I did yesterday.

PREMIERE CS4 won't open my recent projetcts!! 3rd time ...

It's the third time now that I cannot open a saved file... I save incremently the different versions of our 26 minutes animated project.
I have no idea when/why it started - around once a month (the past 3 months) I open PREMIERE, open my latest file, and the progress bar hangs ...
I click cancel - ... then need to force quit PREMIERE... each time if I try to open an auto saved version with the same name I get the same result... lets's say I want to open #78 ... and it won't open ... then I try with #78-1, -2, -3 , -4 and -5 .. same thing ...
I try version #77 ... and the saved versions .. same problem ... version 76 opened...
I lost 2 days ...
last time Iost 2 days of work and tried 1 day to understand what happened ... used XML wrench ... did everything that is possible to try and make sense ... but here I am ... with a project that has 1600 to 1700 medias...
I regret I did not listen to people who proposed their FCP station ...
... we started the production 3 years ago (animation is a long process) with CS3 and it seemed to work well...
last year we upraded to CS4 .. and here I am really frustrated - I am even ready to pay to go back to CS3... or pay even more to go to FCP...
.. it is possible that something I did made this happen ... I work on 2 different setups: one is XP32 pro - 3.5 g ram - on a XW 8400 dual XEON 3ghz, the other setup is a DELL workstation - 8 g ram - same dual cpu 3ghz (5160) - and XP64.
WE use AE, PSD and PREMIERE. everything works fine ( never managed to have the open GL quadro 3500 cards work properly in AEthou on both machines) but PREMIERE... I am tired and feel tarpped as I will need to keep using premiere knowing that I may lose some more days of work...
sigh ...

Hi Dennis,
Throw
away your preference files - user folder/my documents/Adobe/Premiere
Pro/ Take the 4.0 folder and drag it to your desktop. Or just throw
it away. When PRemiere Pro launches again, it will create a new one.
Just tried it ... same behaviour ... progress bar stalls .. .
yeasterday evening I installed the PPro trial on my macbook - under OSX ... and the progress bar goes a bit further ... for a moment I believed I recovered my file.. but now - still waited for over one hour, as the machine was not frozen ... but nothing more happened and I needed to force quit the app...
I saw something about big projects - the biggest thing I can recommend (STRONGLY!)
is to have a 64bit OS and lots of memory. This has made a big
difference for many customers. 64-bit goodness is the future and CS4
makes use of greater memory addressing to allow it to see more than 4GB
of memory on a 64bit Os.
Yes ... this is my only real hope ... Both the computer I work on are now 64 bits/8 gig of ram - one is W7 (was xp64 before) , the other is XP64 (was xppro 32)
... it is possible that the 32 bit machine is (was) the culprit...
... and maybe the anounced 4.2 PPro upgrade may resolve whatever problem I have ...?
I'll try to read more later and get back with any other suggestions.
Thanks a lot ! any help is gtreatly apreciated !
regards !
luc the Luke!

Adobe Illustrator CC Won't Open

Hello there. I recently purchased Creative Cloud (roughly 2 weeks ago) and downloaded Adobe Illustrator CC. For the past 2 weeks that I've had Adobe Illustrator, it's worked perfectly fine. But now, for no reason that I can find, it won't open. Everything else Adobe works just fine, but Illustrator won't (for whatever reason). After continuously trying, and it not working, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it - still doesn't work. I opened up the Task Manager, and saw that it would open up in the background processes, but no matter what I do, it won't actually OPEN. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I fix it?

ConK,
Did you use the full three step way?
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall?

CS4 won't open EPS...but my colleague's CS4 will?

I'm using AI CS4 (14.0.0) and a colleague of mine asked me to convert an .eps to CS3 compatibility for him. No problem right? Well CS4 says it's an 'unknown file format' ...I tried opening it in a slew of other programs...Corel, Photoshop and others. No luck.
But that's not where it ends.
Another colleague, with the same 14.0.0, opened it with no issue.
Is there a problem with mine or is it simply that the Force strong with her software?

Try this
I would first quite Illustrator and then;
I would go to Users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash that settings folder.
