Why does illustrator quit on opening

I installed cs5 and used it without problems. I downloaded a trial version of cs6, and when it expired, I get a message that say cs5 has quit unexpoectedliy everytime I try to open it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it still will not open.

Nobody can help you without system information or other details. If CS5 crashes after a trial of anotehr product has been run, most likely the licensing system is busted. Reinstall your CS5 then.

  • Why does Illustrator crash when opening a file on Windows 8.1

    This morning I opened Illustrator and opened the file I was working on and the app crashed. It happened even when I tried to make a new document. I have CC, CC 2014 and CC (64-bit) and they all do the same thing. I'm running a Surface Pro 2 on Windows 8.1. Any ideas?

    I don't get a error message from the program itself. Windows decides to shut down illustrator. If I had just bought myself a mac...
    The next message from windows is:
    I've installed Design and web CS6. Each program works without issues except illustrator.

  • Why does CS6 quit when opening CS4 docs in InDesign?

    We just downloaded InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat and Photoshop in Creative Cloud. But when opening InDesign docs made in CS4 the CS6 version immediately crashes. But when reopening the document is there, but nonamed and not with all links remained. Common problem?

    Do you have a crash report? If so, please post it on pastebin.com and put a link here.
    Do you have a font manager? If so, which one and what version? I think I remember similar reports tied to auto-activation plugins, but I'm not certain, and the crash report, if you have one, will be a lot more useful than speculation to start.

  • Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?

    I'm on a Mac OSX 10.5.8 on Safari. Each time I first want to open a PDF, my Safari crashes. The note says, "Problem caused by Acrobat plug-in". After relaunching Safari I can open PDF files. Help?

    Hey thanks for responding so quickly! I've downloaded AppDelete
    Forgive my ignorance - what is Reader X app and how can I find it?

    Subject: Adobe Reader Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?
    One of the things I have loved about Macs since switching in 2003 is:
    They tell you what went wrong when something does.
    The Acrobat plugin is corrupted.
    Solution:
    Download a trial of AppDelete. Install it and open it.
    Drag the Reader X app to the window.
    Delete everything it finds associated with Reader X and empty the trash. Re-download Reader X and re-install it.
    It will install new support and preference files and plugins. and things should go more smoothly.

  • Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend  file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
    Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

  • Why does Illustrator open this file incorrect (coloured polygon becomes uncoloured)

    I have an eps file that opens incorrect in Illustrator (CS6, CS4, 10 I tested). I wonder why this happens. The path seems to be complex, but Photoshop and Distiller converts/opens this file correct. So this seems to be a bug in Illustrator. I ca send you the file.
    How can this be solved?
    Patrick.

    Please explain me where I can put my file? Can I email it to you? Can I upload this to this forum?
    Patrick.

  • Why does illustrator cs6 crash or lock up?

    why does illustrator cs6 crash or lock up when i try to save any file that has a placed image in it?

    Please follow these steps:
    Open the “Task Manager” when the Adobe Illustrator CC crash window is displayed.
    In the Task Manager window right-click on the name/string “Adobe Illustrator CC” and select the option “Create Dump File” in the context menu
    It will display a dialog which says that it will create a file “Illustrato.dmp” in your “Temp” folder. Click on OK to create this. Wait for the action to get this completed.
    Once the above file gets completed you can have this file by typing “%temp%” in your “Run” window (press “window button + r” on the keyboard). On clicking the enter key the TEMP folder can be opened.
    Look there for the file name “Illustrator.dmp” and share it with us a dropbox link on [email protected]
    Please also mention the thread link when sending the dropbox link.
    Regards,
    Dhirendra

  • Why does iMovie quit unexpectedly when I try to share in iDVD?

    Why does iMovie quit unexpectedly when I try to share in iDVD?

    I don't know why it happens, but if you read messages around the iMovie Discussion Group it seems to happen to a lot of people. The easiest way around this is to Share to Media Browser instead of Share to iDVD directly. The Media Browser is a 'holding area' for video you want to use in other iLife Apps (including GarageBand and iDVD). When you Share to Media Browser, choose the Large size. Then let it run until it finishes. Quit iMovie.
    Open iDVD. Create a New Project, Select a Theme. Then click on the Media Button. Click on the Movies button below the Media Browser. Your project will now appear under the iMovie star icon just drag that project into the iDVD project window. This should bypass the problem you were having by sharing Directly to iDVD.

    This is not new.  The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now.  You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

  • Why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas

    I am on a IMAC and upgraded to 10.6.8 Jan 2014. I am using CS4 Illustrator to create with. When i save my work as a pdf then reopen the pdf in Ill to make changes, the whole page has:
    A.) Multiple clipping paths around it
    B.) Most text has now become outlined. Not editable anymore.
    C.) Gradient areas have multiple clipping paths of the single gradient area
    D.) The gradient areas now become rasterized.
    This is very frustrating as now all of my marketing files, some 300+, are worthless. I don't know where to look anymore to find the problem.
    Please help.
    Thank you very much

    John,
    I have the presets as you have shown. I had been editing the supplied items as you suggested. Then figured i should ask the questions of those who are better than I.
    But still a bit confused as to why the new save places clipping paths around the document.
    Thank you John and Monika for your help.
    why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas
    created by John Mensinger in Illustrator - View the full discussion
    I do a save as "pdf" in the format pull down tab. I save to a folder on the hard drive. Where is the "Illustrator editability" check box? I presumed it is in Acrobat some where
    but i seem to be lost.
    It is in Illustrator's Save Adobe PDF dialog, which pops up before the saved file is written.
    https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-6439399-644928/450-397/Untitl ed-1.jpg
    Sorry i didn't mention this, but this seems to have occurred when using images and text from provided pdfs.
    That's a critical fact. If you didn't do the original save, the above is moot, and it's too late to exercise any control over the save process. Someone else failed to save for editability. The only thing you can do is clean up/repair the content, (release clipping masks, rebuild rasterized elements, expand objects, etc.), and save correctly as AI. Then, if necessary, re-save as PDF with the correct settings.

  • Why does Illustrator on Windows 7, 64bit, take 30seconds+ to save a simple image?

    This question is for Adobe Customer Service, thanks. 
    Why does Illustrator on Windows 7, 64bit, take 30seconds+ to save a simple image comprising of two rectangles only (screen shot below)?  I set up a document like this to test the speed, since I've been having trouble saving all documents - they hang, sometimes with the 'this program is not responding' message.   Switching to CC is not an option.
    If it helps, I can come down to the Adobe San Francisco office with my computer.  I've spent a long time trying to resolve this without success.
    Btw, Photoshop CS6 saves fine.
    Thanks again.

    That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this
