Illustrator won't run, instead AAM tries to run

Hi all,
When I try to run an application form CS6, e.g. Illustrator or InDesign, they won't. Instead the Adobe Application Manager tries to run, but hangs/freezes. I need to force-quit AAM, but then again, none of the CS apps won't run/start, and AAM tries to run again, and freezes and so on and so on.
How can I get my apps to run again (and get rid of AAM trying to run).

Solved it !!!
Restarted my iMac, and then reinstalled AAM.
Everything is working again.
(But still don't know why it went wrong in the first place, though)

I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation. They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 6 you can do so at Download CS6 products.

For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open. I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection. It worked fine before but now won't open. I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.

Jacob,
You are genius! I search all over the net and had a long chat with Apple without success. 30 minutes after posting the Abobe Illustrator forum, I have a link that works!! Many thanks.

I'm trying to run a .mov file across 2 monitors (making it one giant monitor) but it won't go to full screen. Help, I'm trying to run a .mov file across 2 monitors (making it one giant monitor) but it won't go to full screen. Help

Hi -
I'm trying to run a .mov file on a mac mini using 2 monitors - the monitors are set up to make it one large screen. When I try this it doesn't go to fullscreen, are there any workarounds?
Thanks!

I tried the drop and drag but it won't cover the entire screen. It leaves a border around it and is really annoying. I'm told the next OS will fix this, I'm just trying to find a workaround for this if possible.

Have used Illustrator CS5 for months. now it won't work- says "insufficient memory to run applic."

Have used Illustrator CS5 for months. now suddenly it won't work- says "insufficient memory to run application". Lenovo w700, windows vista. Illustrator CS4 works, Photoshop CS5 works, everything else is working fine, in fact they all get loaded together.
I found no solutions on the community board.
Can I remove Ill. CS5 without damaging CS4, and then reinstall CS5? And if so, then how do I reinstall it?
This is not fun.

Nope, it opens a tiny little window, plus opening the floating tool menu
This time I did not use the desktop short cut, but used what should be the exec icon under program files, expanded the window and it worked!
Is this like taking my kid to the doctor-- I'm all better now daddy!

HT3049 Trying to run a printer on Parallels since I have update to mavericks? It won't access windows.

Trying to run a printer on Parallels since I have update to mavericks? It won't access windows. it is saying I don't have access on my computer to do this.

So do you mean that you have shared a printer that is installed in the Windows VM that is running in Parallels? And you cannot connect to this shared printer from 10.9?
What version of Windows is it?

Firefox won't run because it 'is already running' I have tried all steps in firefox crashes articles

I had a spectacular crash in Firefox (FF) - Malware or a virus - I think my system is clean now.
I removed FF and all FF/Mozilla files, downloaded a new FF. It will not run because:
"Close Firefox
A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time"
I have tried all the remedies on the 'FF crashes' support page. The profile manager doesn't run probably because that was among the files I deleted.
All other apps seem to run fine.

Start with item #2
#close Firefox with File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close and
#check that it finished via Windows 7 shortcut to WTM "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" in the "Processes" tab make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu.
#proceed with the install

Illustrator won't load .AI files... Corrupt?? PDFFormat.aip required!

Hello,
SPECS
Dell XPS M1350 / 2.4 GHZ INTEL 4 / 3 GB RAM / 220 GB HD / NVIDIA GEFORCE M8000 SERIES
PURCHASED
Adobe Design Premium Edition. Three months ago.
PROBLEM
Just last night, I went to load Illustrator CS4 and it loaded just fine. I went to open up an Illustrator file that I have been working on and it came up with the error "An unknown error has occured." The error popped up twice and I pressed my only option, OK. The file didn't open. Usually I can open the .AI files or at least import them into Photoshop and now Photoshop just freezes and closes itself when I attempt to import an Illustrator file. Now, I tried to open a new document in Illustrator. Before I could type in my specs for the project, Illustrator came up with an error "Illustrator cannot create document. Command cancelled." Out of curiosity, I went to see if the rest of my Adobe products were working. They were all fine, aside from the Illustrator-realted Photoshop issue.
I decided to re-install Illustrator. I uninstalled it just fine and then installation went successfully. However, now Illustrator will flat out not load, period. It comes up with an error: "Missing Plug-In Required. PDFFormat.aip missing." I have conducted many searches since then to find out what the issue is and I have come up with nothing. My thinking is that my version of Vista is not compatible, but that wouldn't explain why it ran flawlessly for three months before now.
As a result, all of my Illustrator files are corrupt. My older version of Illustrator won't even open these files! Nothing, not even Acrobat will read these files now. Unknown errors all over the place. I am sickened by the thought of the loss of all of my work. I need these files!! I need this program as well! What is even stranger for me to understand is that the night before it worked fine and I used Illustrator without adding or changing a thing. I worked for a little bit, then shut the lid of my laptop and went to bed. That's it!
I can provide more details if necessary.
Thank you for reading-- and for helping! I would greatly appreciate any advice I can get. I need to get back to work, pronto!!
Thanks again!

It is an unknown error and I do not think if they were working in the past that they are all of a sudden corrupt. It sounds to me like you will have to repair your permissions. Now I can tell you from experience that it sounds like Illustrator cannot access the various directories it has to and that seems to me like a permissions problem.
You will need some one familiar with Windows and Vista to tell you how to go about his but the problem here is that all the Windows users seem opposed to even considering this possibility and instead of even trying this approach they have even gone to the extreme of having the user reinstal their system.
So what I am writing is a suggestion and beyond that I wish you well.
But before I go it can also be a font cache problem and there are tools to clear those files as well this approach at least has had some acceptance.
Good Luck.

Illustrator won't display in "Open With..." list in XP

Hi,
I don't know if anyone can help me with this, but I'll ask anyway. When I right-click a PDF and go to "open with" Illustrator CS5.1 is not there...perfectly normal on a fresh install. However, when I click "browse" and find the illustrator.exe file and select that, it won't add to the list. It's as if I clicked cancel instead of open. The same thing happens if I click Properties on the file and try to change the program that the file opens with.
It's no big deal, but it's just quicker to open a PDF with Right-click>Open With>Illustrator, rather than launch Illustrator and go File>NavigateReallyStupidLongFolderStructureOnCompanyServer>File.pdf>open.

you could add an Illustrator shortcut to the Send to...Folder
- hit Win+R to bring the Run dialog
- type sendto, to open the Send to Folder
- right click an empty area, and select "New" -> "Shortcut"
- browse to illustrator.exe, to add the shortcut
or if you're comfortable editing the registry, you can add Illustrator to the OpenWithList menu
- bring up the Run dialog
- type regedit
- browse to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList
- right click on it and select "New"->"Key"
- rename to "Illustrator.exe"

Downloaded OS X Yosemite 10.10 and now my Illustrator won't open?

Hi, I was prompted by my creative cloud account to download OS X Yosemite 10.10 onto my mac. Now my Illustrator CS6 won't open and is asking me to download 'Legacy Java SE 6 runtime'. I have tried to download this from the internet but nothing is working. Does anyone have suggestions?

Rubydasha,
This is rather strange: there was another thread recently where the same happened to the OP, but both I and Larry got the page with the blue Download button. What happens if you reload the page?

And here is one where it just worked for the OP,
