    why wont my itunes open on my PC

    Did it successfully download and install? Has it ever worked on the computer? You can remove and reinstall iTunes by following the instructions in this support document. Make sure you follow them exactly, or it will just compound your problems. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • Why is my Illustrator CS2 v12.0 MAC suddenly freezing during initialization?

    I've been using Illustrator CS2 v12.0 MAC on my Mac running on OSX v10.4.11 daily for years. I stopped using Illustrator for a few months, and when I went to use it again, it won't open; it hangs up during initialization. (The initialization window reads "Initializing...", then "Reading fonts...", then "Initializing..." again, and stays there forever.) I realize my version of Illustrator is out of date, but I didn't think it could just die of old age. Can anybody help?

    I have PhotoShop Elements 4.0, and, yes, it opens and runs just fine. 
    No, I haven't installed any new fonts since I last opened 
    Illustrator. I suppose a corrupt font is possible, but I really doubt 
    it -- mainly because of the following: I know this is about 
    Illustrator, but I think it's important to mention that, at the same 
    time, I stopped using InDesign, and when I went to use it again, it 
    asks me for my serial number, and then tells me that the number I 
    provided is not valid (as I said, I've I've been using it daily for 
    years. I think it's important because this notice is in the InDesign 
    forum section: "Attention Mac Users: The recent Acrobat 8.2 update is 
    causing problems for many users of InDesign and Illustrator. If you 
    suddenly have problems starting InDesign, please see this KB article: 
    InDesign and Illustrator CS or CS2 fail to launch after applying the 
    Mac OS X Acrobat update." The same notice is in the Illustrator forum 
    section. That article it references describes exactly the same 
    behavior for both apps as I've been seeing. But I don't have Acrobat. 
    I feel sure that these problems started with an Adobe Reader update. 
    But I have no idea how to fix it; Adobe doesn't mention Reader. I 
    found a complete download of Reader 9.2, and so I replaced my Reader 
    9.3.3 with it, hoping that v9.2 wouldn't have whatever the problem 
    is. No such luck. (Sorry about not noticing the beard. I never said I 
    was alert.)

  • Why can adobe reader open documents preview can't?

    I recently came across a pdf here for a friend, and was shocked when preview couldn't open it, but adobe reader xi could. I had it in my head that PDF was a standard. Has adobe added something to it? Or did they just insert a script to force me to use their product? Would upgrading  to mountain lion fix my problem? (newer Preview?)
    Preview version 5.03

    I have it on the computer and it worked fine, I just didn't prefer the interface. (Also, possibly slower. Hard to measure)
    Maybe I wasn't clear. I had guessed that the program that could only be opened by Acrobat was made with Acrobat.
    What I wanted to know was why preview couldn't open it. Does every document created with Acrobat prevent other programs from opening it? It seems unlikely, as this is the first I have found with something like that. Is it a new thing with reader xi? How do they accomplish this? A change of headers? Some sort of non-standard encryption? An imbedded script?
    I suppose it is improbable that anyone actually knows...

  • Why does Adobe Illustrator keep crashing?

    This is more of an Adobe Illustrator question, but seeing that even their support is confused, I thought I might try my luck here.
    I have a MacBook Pro and only Adobe Illustrator CC crashes expectedly. There is no warning for when it will crash. Sorry I don't have a screenshot to share. I'm really just taking a shot in the dark hoping someone has experienced this and resolved it.

    X Pro is the version that I am using.  We have 64 bit windows as well.  I updated the installation after each time I have to reinstall it but it still from time to time crashes.  Then it will not allow me to reopen any PDF documents. 

  • Why does adobe illustrator cs6 trial version keep uninstalling after restart?

  • Why wont adobe premiere elements accept serial number ?

    tried to install premiere elements but rejects serial number. any body help please ( yes it is a legal copy)

    hs0816
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Are you working with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If problem persists, then Adobe is the only one who can help you.
    Please try to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. Please click on the following link and then the Chat Panel.
    Contact Customer Care
    I have set the link to open to the page for
    Premiere Elements
    Adobe ID and Signing In
    Adobe ID, Sign In, and Account Help
    and the display of the Chat Panel that you click on.
    I am never sure if the web page set will hold. If it does not, you will have to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above topic titles as guides.
    Adobe Chat has been on and off and on again for a long time now as it undergoes updating. At this very moment, the Chat Panel is available
    through the link cited. I checked. If you find it otherwise (Ask the Community the only choice), wait and try again to see if the Chat Panel choice
    has reappeared..
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Why do Adobe Illustrator files look blurry when Replicated?

    When I replicate a group of Adobe Illustrator files, the Replicator output is blurry.
    Take a look at this screencast for more details.
    I've turned off Fixed Resolution for each layer. The group of AI layers scales fine and stays crisp at any scale. However, when I replicate the group, the output is blurry.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I'm moving down the question list
    In the Replicator inspector, turn on 3D. Turn on Best from the Render > Quality menu.
    Also, if you're exporting to a movie file and you're working in Normal or Draft quality settings, in the Export dialog, make sure to click the Render option button and set Render Quality to Best as well.  Sometimes it's easier to work in Normal, especially if you're using emitters and render out at Best. With the export dialog, you can make "final decisions" to the render separately from your workflow. (Export is set to "Use canvas setting" by default.)

    I have downloaded keynote, pages and numbers for Iphone and ipad all working fine.
    When I try and open on my mac-mini nothing!
    Please help

    You have purchased iWorkapps for iOS to run on portable devices, if you want the iWork applications for the Mac you need to purchase those separately. They are completly different software for a different operating system, you can buy them very economically on the Apple App store.

  • Adobe Illustrator and InDesign Error code 16 - Help!!!!

    I installed Adobe Illustrator and InDesign on Windows 8.1. They worked great until I closed the programs and tried to open them up again. I now get the error code 16. I re-installed several times now and each time I close either one of the programs and reopen, I get the same error code 16. I've done a clean uninstall and re-install and I've followed the procedures about ensuring that file permissions were correct. No luck.

  • Why wont Adobe Media Encoder open?

    every time I try to open it it says: "Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.0 has stopped working." And i have tried exporting from Premiere Pro, opening it directly, and all of the above. Please Help!

    Have you ever been able to launch AME before?  Did it stop working suddenly or never launch?
    Please try deleting two folders "Media Cache" and "Media Cache Files" from <OS drive>:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common.  Then, please hold shift + launch.

  • Why wont Google Chrome open and says it wont work with this version of mac os 10

    I just bought a macbook and when I went to instal Google Chrome it told me it isnt compatable with mac os 10

    You should be able to update to OS X 10.6, or, if the Macbook is a late-2006 or newer one, to 10.7
    You can still buy 10.6 from the Apple Store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    OS X 10.7 should be in the Mac App Store and is only available by downloading it from the online Mac App Store, but you will need 10.6 to get the store in the first place (the Mac App Store appeared with iOS 10.6.6).
