Illustrator CS6 fail to open- Java SE6 runtime upgrade?
Just re-downloaded CS6 suite because I got a new computer. Everything works except Illustrator. When I open it a window pops up that says "To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6 you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." When I hit install nothing happens and the window closes. Please help!
Lunj,
I believe this thread holds the full answer(s) to getting round/past the JAVA SE issue:

Since I downloaded Apple's latest operating system, whenever I try to open Illustrator I get a message that I need to install legacy Java SE6 runtime and to click "more info" to do this. When I click "more info" I get a blank window. What should I do
Hi,
I had the same problem after upgrading to Yosemite. Illustrator CS6 wouldn't open. I got a message saying I should 'install legacy Java SE6 runtime'.
The link didn't work - it lead to a blank page.
So I downloaded Java8 (latest version) from Oracle but didn't install it. Something told me this was not the right way to go (the problem was with Java SE6, not 8). I then called Apple (in the Netherlands, were I live) for help. I got none. The best they could do was blaming Adobe for the problem or me, for not having the latest Adobe CC app. Rubbish.
And then, magic. I tried to open Illustrator again, got the pop up message but this time the link worked. It took me to an official Apple page, with a link to download Java for OS X 2014-001. The problem is now solved.
If curious, this is the explanation Apple gives for the problem:
'Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005. On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 or later, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled 'missing plug-in' to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.'

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.

To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6," you need a Java SE 6 runtime
I get message when I try to launch a newlt installed version of Illustrator CS6 under mountain lion. Java is not on that machine but do I def have to install it or is there a way around this? Thanks
In case this may be useful for anyone running OSX Mavericks (10.9.3) and encountering the "...need Java se6 runtime..." to launch Illustrator CS6 message, I found the below link on an Apple support page tonight:
Java for OS X 2013-005
I had already de-installed and re-installed Illustrator CS6, thinking this might solve the problem, but I was still getting the "...need java se6 runtime" message.
I assumed because the above link appeared to be for OSX Lion or Mountain Lion, that it wouldn't do me any good since I am running a newer OS (Mavericks). However, after downloading the "Java for OS X 2013-005" that's found via the above link I was able to launch Illustrator CS6.
I've been running OSX Mavericks for a few months and using Illustrator CS6 every day, and had never encountered the "...need Java se6 runtime..." message. What was different for me was, in the last 24 hours, I had the Apple Store re-install OSX Mavericks on my iMac to try to diagnose another issue. The "...need java se6 runtime..." message only started popping up since yesterday's re-install of OSX Mavericks.
I think I recall reading tonight that re-installing OSX Mavericks may wipe out previously-installed versions of Java, or at least this "Java se6 runtime" - whatever that actually is. -

Adobe needs to get their act together, be specific as to what version of Java SE6 Runtime is needed to open CS5 (InDesing, Illustrator, etc.)and if possible offer a direct download, since Oracle has a ton of version of SE6 and none of them for Mac specific platform. This short sight on behalf of Adobe and carelessness on behalf of apple is the kind of garbage, this companies will never get!
I'm pretty sure this post has the link in it...

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?

Illustrator CS6 Freezing when opening existing files. Need Help ASAP.
Hello There,
I have the most current version on Illustrator CS6. When opening files, any file, it freezing and I have to force quit the application. I have deleted the pref file with some luck, it will only work for a short time. I have held shift+cmd+opt and this too will work 1 in 10 time. I've uninstalled illustrator multiple times. no progress. I need a fix not a band-aid. I am on a mac running OS X 10.8.3. Is this a known issue? I have a co-working having the same issues.
Any suggestions??

My "Solar" accounts program won't run without "legacy Java SE6 runtime" since I upgraded my iMac desktop to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it, nothing happens when you click on the link to apple support
Okay, I'm not a Genius, but, I'm smarter than the one I spoke to at the Apple Store.They told me that they couldn't help me with Legacy Java SE6 Runtime. Adobe has the worst support in the industry so don't call them.
If you have a Time Machine backup, go to one that pre dates your install of Yosemite. Go to the System/Library/Java and drag copy the folder to your internal hard disk. Now you will need the Administrator password. Once copied, drag the old Java folder into your System/Library folder and when asked to replace, click OK. Restart your Mac and you will have use of your software that requires Legacy Java SE6 Runtime.
I'm totally done with Apple since they are trying to box me into a corner. Have fun kids.
