Why can't I open up Illustrator CS6 after I have installed Yosemite?

I just installed Yosemite. Now when I try to open Illustrator I get the message to install Java SE6. When I am sent to the Java site it has me install Java 8. Once this is done, I still get the same message when I try to open Illustrator.

Harry,
You should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

It is even more thoroughly described in this thread, see post #3 on by gator soup:

    Robert,
    It seems to be enough to 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.

  • When I try and open adobe illustrator I get a pop up message saying "To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."

    When I try and open adobe illustrator I get a pop up message saying "To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." it also says "Click “More Info…” to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website." When i click more info it transfers me to an apple page which never loads, its just a blank page. I downloaded Java SE 6 like it says it needs but it did nothing. All of my other Adobe programs such as bridge, dreamweaver, lightroom, Photoshop, indesign, and flash all work except for illustrator. What can I do to fix this?

    Go to Apple and look for the Java for OSX 2014-001 link. Download from there and install it.

    Leo,
    Depending on your OS, you should be able to use;
    Win:

    Mac:

    Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.
    Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.

  • Why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?

    why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?  I have downloaded Maverick.  I had the same problem with Pages at first.  Is there any way to get my spreadsheets back?  I'm nervous about upgrades anymore.

    If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to  3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
    Numbers 2.3                              Numbers 3.0
    Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files.  If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
    If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

  • Why can't I open up PDF's when I have Adobe Reader installed?

    Hello,
    I'm using Tiger and whenever I get to a website where I want to download a PDF or view it my computer won't let me. I get this wording that says it can't find a program to install even though I have Adobe Reader. I have Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and then I just installed Adobe Reader 9.
    Is there a way to fix this problem?

    ... whenever I get to a website where I want to download a PDF or view it my computer won't let me. I get this wording that says it can't find a program to install even though I have Adobe Reader
    Do you mean the browser won't let you download and that message appears in the browser or do you mean the message appears after you have downloaded and try to open the file?
    If the former have you tried Control-clicking the link in the browser to save the file to your HD?
    If the latter have you tried dropping the file onto the Reader (or Preview) icon?
    Can you open the Reader you have installed by double clicking its icon?

  • Why can 2 users open same Illustrator doc?

    Hi,
    We have design files which are used between different departments and have come across a problem where 2 people can open and ammend the same file without any type of warning dialog or box saying " User X is currently working in this document"
    In previous programs (before migrating to Illustrator this season) there has always been some kind of warning box. Illustrator will only show a dialog after both people have ammended a file and they come to save the file. The dialog then tells the person who opened the file the latest that the file has been ammended since opening leaving one person with work they cannot use
    Can anyone suggest a way around this problem or software to track open docs etc?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Sounds more like a misconfiguration in your network environment, possibly those two users logging on with the same credentials and thus sharing teh same permissions....

    Good day!
    Please read this:

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Why can't I open Adobe Reader even after I download and install it to my Mac OS X Intel 10.6.6?

    I've tried downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X for my Mac, but it won't open.
    The problem might be that the highest Adobe Reader available is for the Mac OS Intel 10.5.6 - 10.6.4.
    I really need this to work, because I need to download and install this properly before I can install the Oracle Information Rights Management (IRM) Desktop Download.
    I need this so I can unseal .spdf files and be able to read my ebook. I can't read it online, but I can download it straight from CengageBrain.

    you can find many articles on how to repair mac disc permissions on Google. Just
    try googling it. Else you can always ask applecare. They will guide you with
    same.
    Some links that might help you are:

    It is better if you take help from apple for the same.

  • Can i sell my copy of cs6 after i have uninstalled it from my computer

    i no longer use cs6 since i now use Photoshop CC. Can i pass on my CS6 to someone else so the can register , activate it

    I find responses like this a bit funny. Whenever I buy a new piece of software the first thing I do is take a picture of the license/serial number and I have a Text and Word document with all those licenses that is stored in the My Documents folder, Windows, or Document folder, Mac, and that gets copied to all my computers and backed up to multiple external drives and in my imaging of the hard drives or Time Machine on a Mac.
    There are many way to record the serial/license numbers other than Registering with the writers of the program.
    What I find incredibly odd is why others don't do that. If you can't take the time to create a text or word processing document with the license/serial numbers of that expensive software you probably won't take the time to register it.
    That is the users fault and nothing will save them.
    gener7 wrote:
    And of course it is your software, do as you wish.
    Registration is backup proof of ownership of very expensive software.
    I have fielded too many posts over the years about lost emails, receipts, and serial numbers or even traveling somewhere and needing to re-enter the number.
    "My stuff was placed in storage at my cousin's place three states away, I need my serial number."
    "So, no problem, go under your account, My Products and your serial number is there, where you registered it"
    "Uhh...I didn't register my $700 Photoshop.  Is there any other way?"
    "Yeah, road trip. Enjoy your stay while going through everything."
