Illustrator CS6 wont open, stops at loading fonts - MAC OSX

I have a MAC OSX 10.8.5. My Illustrator CS6 wont open anymore. It keeps stalling while loading the fonts. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program twice and also tried deleting the font that it stalled at but then it would just stall when trying to load the next font. I did notice that it seemed to be stalling on fonts that AREN'T OTF format.  I also wasn't sure to delete the fonts out of the SYSTEM, LIBRARY, FONTS folder or the other fonts folder location in LIBRARY.  I really need to get this program working, please help!!!!!

thank you, already did that

  • Illustrator wont open, stops at loading fonts

    I have Illustrator CS6, Mac 0Sx 10.8.5.  About 2 months ago it wouldn't open and keeps stalling when loading fonts.  I have uninstalled and re-installed twice without any change. I have tried taking out fonts that it gets stalled on but then it stalls on the next font.  I also use Photoshop and I'm not having an issue opening.
    HELP!!!! This as been over 2 months without being able to use this program.

    la allstars,
    In the following list, note the Cleaner Tool in 6). The most likely/relevant items in 5) may be 1 and 11.
    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.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 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.

  • Do illustrator cs6 document open in illustrator cs5?

    do illustrator cs6 document open in illustrator cs5?

    Yes, they do, but of course certain features will get converted/ expanded/ flattened and may not be editable. To increase compatibility, save it as a CS5 file from CS6.

  • Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the files.

    Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the VOB  files.  I tried to change the extension to AVI and then drag it in.  It works but it's distorted.  All the heads in the photo are narrow and tall.  Can anyone help me figure this thing out?  I'm sooo frustrated!  Thanks

    I assume these came from a DVD? Was this DVD an encrypted holywood DVD or a home video that you got of something like sky diving? You'll probably need photoshop extended to switch pixel aspect ratios. Or convert them into a format that photoshop understands with a 1.0 pixel aspect ratio. Do you have access to adobe media encoder?

    my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Illustrator CS6 hangs opening existing files

    I have been having a problem with Illustrator CS6: Whenever I try to open up an existing file, Illustrator hangs. If I leave it long enough it will open the file. Any click causes a 30 second (at least) delay. I can work in it as long as I'm patient enough to only click once.
    System:
    OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 - 64bit
    Proc: Intel Core i5 CPU M520 @ 2.40 GHz
    RAM: 6GB
    User is on a domain
    Illustrator CS6 64bit has latest update: 16.0.2
    Creative Suite Design & Web Premium is installed. No other applications have this problem.
    Problem has been occuring for two weeks straight.
    Still incurring problem after doing the following:
    1) Uninstall full suite and delete preferences; reinstall
    2) Uninstall full suite, use cleaner tool, reinstall
    3) Install/run FontExplorerX due to missing font
    4) Make sure all applications are up-to-date
    5) Run Illustrator as administrator and in administrator account (files still did not open properly)
    6) Disable smart guides, and select no thumbnail in the layers palatte
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

    "Even still, with my new computer, I can open pdfs, jpgs, pngs, word, excel, etc. pretty much everything except the few I've mentioned..."
    And theres your answer. Even with the old computer you are having the same problem with those files. It's not computer specific. The reason why you dont have issues with pdfs, pngs, word, etc is because they do not require you to read/write back to the original drive at all or as often. With adobe native files the computer has to communicate regularly with the original file. In this case the file is miles away. Now while you may have a super fast download and upload speed that does not matter. It comes down to latency or ping (the time it takes for your to read/write the file from the drive to your computer). This latency needs to be really low to not experience any delay. In your case it's not fast enough and it probably won't ever be unless you want to pay to have a dedicated line put into your house from your office.
    You may not have noticed before do to the file type used, the size of file, the amount of images linked to the file, or the change in your ISP latency. Latencies have been increased in some areas to allow for higher bandwidths in residential areas as they all share the same hub. The bigger the gaps in latency the more data that could be shared in that space.
    If you are unwilling to transfer files back and forth than try using logmein.com with a computer that is in the office. This will give you an idea of how much latency is actually taking place. You will see stops and stutters while your waiting for the screen images to reach your computer at home. I use logmein everyday and I have comptuers at each one of my clients, but I've never been able to work on files directly from my computer at home without transferring them their first. It just isn't applicable due to latency.
    My advice would be to look at alternative options at this point. External drives, ftp transfers, remote login to a computer at the location for example.

  • Illustrator CS6 wont start

    Illustrator CS6 16.0.4 will not start on mac 10.8.2 (jumps up and down in dock a few times loads extensions then stops), removed all adobe products with adobe creative suite cleaner, removed products from application directory. restarted, reinstalled only Illustrator CS6, then the individual patches that were manually downloaded from
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=27&platform=macintosh
    My next step would of been to continue the installs of CS6 Products but Illustrator will still not start.
    I understand this is a known issue with the latest update through Adobe Application manager.
    Please help, it has been 3 days now we are unable to properly correct the issue after numerous uninstalls and intallations.
    Addtional items tried: user is an administrator, created a new user with Admin priv and tried also not working.

    Asmerdijan,
    You can go ahead and install the JAVA update from the Apple by going to link below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572
    Once that is downloaded please go ahead and put the FXGfileformat.aip  & launch illustrator and it should work for you.
    If that doesnt work try to reset the prefrences for Illustrator.
    Press and hold Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Illustrator. Your current settings are deleted.
    Let me know if you need further help on this.

  • Illustrator CC wont open

    Today Illustrator CC just wont open.
    I am using windows 7, when I click on the icon it starts and then stops.
    Why sio this happening. It was working yesterday, I havent updated anything....

    klindwall,
    I believe this calls for you reinstalling the full three step way:
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Why is my Illustrator cs6 not opening files.

    I'm having a issue with Illustrator not opening files (eps or ai) either from the server or my desktop, opening original from Indesign, double clicking a file or from the menu 'open file'. I have to end up quitting Illustrator, then open the file from one of the methods above. Same days it all works fine then other days it doesn't. Quite confusing.
    I've uninstall then reinstall Illustrator previously and it seemed to work fine for a while then it started doing it again.
    And I've tried finding the info on the forums for Illustrator. If its there please point me to the right place.
    Illustrator CS6
    Mac running OS X 10.9

    Please let me know if if more information is required.

    Aaron,
    Here is a list from easy to serious (note the Cleaner Tool as part of uninstalling and reinstalling in 6), and you may have some disturbance from other applications, see the usual suspects in Item 7) in 5), and 1) - 2) may be the first ones to try, before 3) and/or 4) ):

  • Flash cs6 wont open

    So iv been having adobe flash cs6 for 6 mouths now but out of no where it wont open.
    When  ever I click the icon it shows the title credits. (the red box) then  just doesn't open and goes back to being like iv never clicked on it in  the first place. sometimes it says "importing files" then does noting  but other then that i can't get onto flash.
    Iv tried running the program as admin and resting my computer but i don't know whats going on.
    The  only thing is I think "i think" I was playing fallout 2 when it crashed  on me and i had to force shut down while flash was open. Then i think  that's when it started but im not 100% sure just something to take into  account.

    reset your preferences by holding shift-ctrl-alt while starting flash cs6.  you should see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
    if that fails, reinstall cs6 over your current installation.
    if that fails, uninstall cs6, run the cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html), restart your computer and then reinstall cs6.
