Illustrator CS6 won't open additional files after 30 minutes use

Illustrator CS6 (on an iMac, OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10) sort of freezes up after I've been using it for about 30 minutes - it won't open or create additional files or copy/cut/paste objects.
It did this with OS X Maverick as well. I tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
The only way I can fix this issue is to save all opened windows and quit Illustrator. When I reopen it, it seems fine but it freezes up again every hour or so.
Please help! Thank you

Hello worksmc,
I looked at the above snapshot and it helps a bit but would like to know if above snapshot is at the state when the AI stops opening the Ai files? If not, then please attach the one for that state as that would really debugging the issue.
Btw, what type of files do you open for the first half 'n hour? What kind of objects are in those files? Do you keep the multiple documents open, if yes, then how many are these?
Appreciate your understanding!
Thanks,
Dhirendra

Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
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.

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??

Hi Owen,
tried
Can you please let me know which plug-in it was that you deleted?
I have removing every one that I have and nothing has worked thus far.
I deleted Vector Scribe Studio, FontExplorererX and that is all I had... still nothing.
What did you remove and/or update?
Thank you muchly.

Safari won't open docx files after download

The "open safe files after download" button is checked. I unchecked it, shutdown safari, rechecked it and it still isn't working.

How do I get that file type on the "safe to open" list?
I'm not sure there is any way to do that, and if there is, I wouldn't recommend it, because Word files are not necessarily safe to open -- they can include harmful macros. You can try the suggestion linked below, but I haven't tested it.

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!

Illustrator won't open a file after a previous file was closed

First of all, I've been using Illustrator since it first came out (87? 88?) but in all those years, have never encountered the following problem:
After opening and closing an Illustrator file, I can not open any other Illustrator file without quitting the Illustrator app. I get no error messages, the program does not lock up or crash, it simply does nothing. It does not matter if the file I am opening (or the file just worked on) is a newly created one, or an older file, complicated or simple file, 1-color or multi. In other words, it does not seem to be related to the files.
The only way to open a new file after closing a previous file is to QUIT the Illustrator application.
In the old days, if an oddity would occur, deleting the app's pref file usually worked, though it's been years since I've had to do this. Is deleting the pref file still safe/recommended?
Here are some specs:
What I've tried:
Cleared font cache
Repaired disk permissions
Run diagnostics (all clean as a whistle)
System and app specs:
2.66 ghz Intel iMac OS 10.6.8, 4 gig ram
Illustrator CS5 15.0.2
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you so much in advance...
Susan

Deleting the prefs is safe, worst that can happen is the setting for scale strokes and effects might get reset.
Reset your preferences.

Adobe illustrator CS6 won't open on MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8

I just installed CS6 Design and Web Premium on my MacBook Pro running OS10.6.8. InDesign opened fine, but in the dock Illustrator and Photoshop have diagonal lines through them. I tried opening Illustrator and got this message: "You can't open the application Adobe Illustrator CS6 because it is not supported on this type of Mac." My MacBook Pro is 3-4 years old--a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, Model Identifier: MacBook Pro1,1. I double checked the OS required by CS6 and it's 10.6.8.

System requirements... Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Core Duo processors do not support 64Bit. Essentially, if you can run OS 10.7, then CS6 apps are fine. Your machine won't run 10.7 (due to lack of 64bit support). You need a Core 2 Duo or better. If you do indeed have an Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro, it's much older than 3 or 4 years. The Core Duo MacBookPros were 2006 machines.

Firefox won't open PDF files after I removed older version of PDF-xChange Viewer and installed the lastest version of PDF-xChange Viewer. MS Explorer which I am now force to use works OK. I have checked the Applications window in Tools/Options and it l

Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything. I get the message in the Download Error window which says...."could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Is the same error which I get when I attempt to open a PDF file on a webpage using the Firefox browser....Explorer works OK so I am now forced to Explorer to read PDF files via a browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing a old copy of PDF-xChange Viewer and updating to the last version

The error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system.

Where did the PDF file come from? Did it originate in AI? AI is not a general-purpose PDF editor so unless the file originated in AI, it's a cr@pshoot.

DW CS6 won't open CSS files

When trying to open any css file in DWCS6, I get "Unexpected file format"
If I try to preview a page that has a CSS file attached to it, I get "Attempted to access a file past its end".
Was working fine yesterday.
I'm fully updated (according to file manager).
I've tried restarting and reupdating.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!

Good news: this most likely isn't a problem with your DW software. (According to what I've read on this error)
Bad news: It's probably an (unrecoverable) error with the file(s). It most commonly occurs with .rvt (architectural software) files. When i looked the error up it said the only thing that can be done is to use a back up file that hasn't been corrupted.
With a CSS file, you might want to try opening it in Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac). If it'll open there you can copy the code and paste it into a new CSS file and overwrite the corrupted one(s).
If it won't open in a text editor, it's probably broken beyond use.
