Illustrator says that need legacy Java SE 6 to open Illustrator. Why?

All of a sudden, Illustrator (CS6) is demanding that I have Legacy Java SE 6 runtime. I have Java version 7 update 71. This doesn't happen with CS6 Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat or Bridge. Why is this happening with Illustrator? I have a Mac, using OS Yosemite 10.10.1. Can someone help, please?

Many thanks Jacob. I should say that I was alerted to that link earlier and indeed clicked on it many times and like many other people here I had to report that the link no longer worked. In fact, I had given up and trying, fruitlessly, to get a response from either Apple, Java or Adobe regarding this particular situation. But, as I wasn't prepared to cough up just for them to answer a simple question, I was getting nowhere. I clicked on the linked window one more time (it had previously shown a blank page) and Lo! the page appeared with the Download button. The lesson here, might be that you click on the link and you leave it open for 30-45 minutes until which time it decides to appear on your screen.
Thank you Apple. Thank you Java. Thank you Adobe. I love you all, I want you to know that... but, you're all freaking useless!!
Why can't you be like Jacob? A quick response (and he hasn't even asked for money!) (Which I can't give you Jacob, I'm afraid, as I'm unemployed.)

  • Illustrator CS6 now needs legacy Java SE 6 runtime?

    Help. I tried to open my Illustrator CS6 today and got the following error message, "To open Adobe Illustrator CS6 you need to install the legacy Java SE runtime". The window then states, "Click More info...to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website."  I do click on the More Info... button, but the webpage is blank. Please help.

    Letter-Spacing is different if I open my file at another Mac of us (Value is at both mac 0, but the text is longor), and if I cklick into the text-box, Illustrator says that the file was made in an other Version of Illustrator. We have on all macs the same system, os 10.8.3, cs6 and UTC4. And of course we`re using exactly the same font....

    Packpool,
    I believe the first thing to do is to update to 16.0.5.

  • I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this since yesterday. Is this right??

    I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this task since yesterday. Is this right??

    No. Quit and try again. If that fails again,
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    Java is not supported on iPads. Does your provider have a non-Java version or have their own app, or could you use the Mail or a third-party email app for it ?

  • I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

    I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

    What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
    From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
    Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
    Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
    PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
    An active Internet connection
    You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
    On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
    On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.

    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

    I will check.  Can the security update be installed if you can no longer open the Mac App Store app?
    I was listening to the MacCast podcast and the host had a similar issue and did something similar to the link below.  I am concerned that I may mess something up by doing this.

  • Adobe Captivate 7 needs legacy Java SE 6 runtime

    I need assistance with Adobe Captivate 7; it now prompts me each time I try to open the app to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime and then closes.  The only changes that I've made to my 13" MBPr, was to upgrade to Yosemite and install the newest version of MS Outlook.  Thanks!

    This issue was corrected after installing Java for OS X 2014-001 and then restarting my system - all is good.

  • Why do I need "legacy Java SE 6 runtime?"

    I tried to open Photoshop CS 5.1 and was told I needed to download "legacy Java SE 6 runtime," whatever that is. I assume this is because I recently put Yosemite on my iMac. So where do I find this Java thingy, or would upgrading to the latest Photoshop solve the problem?

    If that doesn't help, download an earlier version of Java. Java for OS X 2014-001 If the page does not display, go to your web browser's preferences (then security, then details) and delete the cookies for apple.com.

  • I had to get a new hard drive and now illustrator says i need to reactivate by license - when I go to do it over the phone i get a recording saying my reactivation number is invalid

    I had to get a new hard drive, now illustrator says my license is expired and I have to get reactivated.  When I used the phone support and entered in all the numbers, a recording comes up saying that my reactivation numbers are invalid.  What can I do so I can start working again in illustrator

    Where did you purchase illustrator. It sounds like it was from a shady dealer. I would contact Adobe and see what you can do.

  • Macbook Pro 15-inch, Late 2011. I'm 100% certain that I bought it with the AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5. It says that I have HD Graphics 3000 384 MB. WHY?

    I don't understand why my MacBook Pro 15-inch, Late 2011 version is reporting to me that I only have the Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB card in it. Why is this? When I bought it I was given the choice to choose between the 500 mb or 1 GB video card and I chose to pay extra in order to get the 1 GB, but now it says that I don't even have that( I can't find it anywhere). I never realized this until now. I was just looking at my specs again to make sure if my Macbook Pro was ready for the upcoming Mountain Lion OS. Please help me understand why this is happening. I'm 100% certain I bought the 1GB video Card and that my mac is supposed to have a quad core processor. I also ordered with the highest resolution screen available at that time which was something like an extra $100. I made sure that I had these extras because I wanted a mac that was going to perform great and not skip a beat. I have noticed it's been skipping here and there and I have been surpirsed at how slow it can get sometimes. I only have 4 GB ram at the moment, but I know that I can upgrade to 16 GB if I need to and have been contemplating on whether i should or not. I also like to do some gaming when I have the extra time and I've noticed that sometimes it has a hard time with some games. I bought this mac around January of this year. Is it possible that there was just a mess up in the shipping on the extras I had added? Thank you for your help.
