Opening my Adobe Illustrator CC App yields dimmed menus and files will not open?

This has happened in the last few hours. I have updated the app through the cloud. I also have Illustrat. 5.1 and 6 and they exhibit the same behavior. The other cloud apps I have downloaded are fine. I truly need help. This is very bad. I am operating Mac OS 10.9.3 and use a Mac Pro. I have the same OS on my iMac and the AI CC works fine apparently. I need this fixed somehow.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, which is available here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Then try following the steps in this Apple article to create an account without a credit card -> Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Missing required plugins.BrS pencil tool/will not open program

Hi!
We hve downloaded a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5 and we are not able to open it. We followed Step 1 and Step 2 and then opened up the Zip version.I also have Windows Vista Home Premium Copyright 2007.
Would anyone know how I can access it?

Reinstall the app with proper admin privileges and also do run it that way. Sounds very much liek mundane permissions issues where some things don't get installed and/or the program cannot establish its user-specific configuration...

Since the last update my Numbers app in IOS, iPad3 and iphone5 will not open. It works fine on my macbook pro. It starts but before I can open a file it closes.

Since the last update my Numbers app will not load in either my iPad3 or my iPhone5. It works fine on my MacBook Pro. The app starts but before I can open a file it closes. Is this a common problem and do you know hwo to solve it?

Hi Michael,
If you've already restarted both your iOS devices after the update and Numbers for iOS still won't load, you might try clearing the documents temporarily out of iCloud, opening the apps, closing them, and then placing the documents back in iCloud.
To do this, in Finder on your Mac, hold down the option key and then Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers. Move the documents there out to the Desktop or other location of your choosing. Then give iCloud time to sync. Then try opening Numbers on iPad and on the iPhone. If they open, then close them, and move the documents back into Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and let iCloud sync again.
That sometimes clears up the problem.

All Mail.app messages (POP) gone and window will not open in new LION

I have upgraded to Lion but now all my email messages seem to have disappeared. I have tried installing Postbox and using that. It works fine but Postbox cannot seem to locate my old email messages either.
I'd prefer to use the Mail.app but cannot right now. Any clues as to what might be causing this?
Thanks!!

You’re welcome.
Look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.

Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

I have created a doc in pages on my Imac and saved it to dropbox. I tried to open it on my Ipad from dropbox using pages and it will not open

Apple has changed the file formats and some online services are having trouble with them.

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

I had a year long CC membership that expired at the beginning of the October.
After realizing that, I attempted to start a free trial of photoshop to work on a project. My Adobe account states that i'm on a trial, but my (Mac) dashboard CC app won't allow me to start the program. I have reinstalled both Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC but still get this message.

.ai Files will not open when Illustrator CS5.5 is already launched

Greetings,
I have a user using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit having issues with Adobe Illustrator CS5.5. When the user attempts to open .ai
files stored on her local machine, the files will not open if Illustrator is launched. It will show an hour glass briefly as it is
about to open, and then nothing happens. If she closes Illustrator and tries to reopen the same file, it will launch Adobe
Illustrator and the file will open. She can also open files through illustrator. It just wont open .ai files when illustrator is
already launched. This is happening when she is running illustrator as an adminitrator, and as well as when she is not an adminitrator. Any ideas?

Any specific security tools running? Team/ workflow management software? Virtual desktops? License managers? Sometimes this stuff simply blocks local ports or wants files to be opened from within once certain things are running... Otehr than that this could be something with group policies or mundane user privileges issues with different contexts, i.e. your AI also has permissions for a specific server-side user/ policy, which the local user otehrwise doesn't have and then it's not allowed to open files into that secured loop...

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Change browsers. See what happens.

You have a heap of work to do before you can reinstall it. NEVER try to get rid of PSE by putting it in the trash. You must use the uninstaller. By attempting to trash it you just made a big old mess for yourself.
You will need to download and run this:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
Then go through your hard drive and manually dig out and trash all the bits you can find. Pay special attention to the library at the top of your hard drive>Application Support>Adobe.
Once you successfully get that cleaned up, you can try reinstalling.
You can download PSE 11 here, but you must follow the Very Important Instructions exactly, even when they don't seem to make much sense, or it won't work:
