Cannot open preferences in Illustrator.

Preferences dialog box does not show and program blocks each time. Patches or workarounds? Running Windows 7, Illustrator CS5 (15.1.0)

Found a different and easier solution: open with Illustrator, turned off all monitors and on their return. Apparently, the preferences box opened a place off the screen. Turn off the monitors forced it appears on the screen when the computer reconnects to the monitors. Problem seems to be fixed now.

    You have an external monitor connected?

    Also, try the following steps:

    Go to the following locations:

    1 location: In the Finder, click go > go to folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

    Situation 2: Go > go to folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe

    Location 3: Documents > Adobe

    Everywhere, rename the folders 'Adobe' to 'OldAdobe '.

    Launch Adobe Media Encoder, accept the license agreement and see if it works.

    Note: You will lose your customized workspaces and keyboard shortcuts.

    Thank you

  • New Illustrator 2015 cannot open files EPS of Shutterstock.

    What bullheck is who? Downloaded Illustrator Upgrade, removed from 2014. Downloaded 2 EPS of Shutterstock. Cannot open them.

    Problem has been resolved by the support of the United States. I contact my national support and 3 people could not help me. I'm very angry because of their incompetence and re - configure my entire system and sacrificed 6 hours of my day. So American support told me to convert unboxing 1 setting in preferences and voila, it works. He said that this is wanted in future update.

  • Cannot open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand.

    Hi guys

    Need help here, I was working on my case when all of a sudden, it crashed on me. When I tried to open it again, I got this error:

    Cannot open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand. Vertical arrow (car)

    (Grid)

    (LED \(4 numbers\ screen))

    (LED \(2 numbers\ screen))

    (Horizontal arrow)

    (Vertical arrow)

    From "... vertical arrow" go seem the names I gave my instances of the file (maybe wrong here?)


    I tried to read a lot of help articles, including, How to recover an Illustrator file (HAVE). DesignPoint, but do not seem to solve my problem.

    Most of these items asked me to open Adobe Illustrator preferences and /enableContentRecovery the value 1. However, I've just updated my CS6 version 16.0.4 recently, and the /enableContentRecovery does not exist in the file.

    If there is someone who knows how to do on this subject, I will be eternally grateful!

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your help Jacob!

    I managed to solve the problem on my end. What I did reinstall an older version of Illustrator CS6, where he (finally) had /enableContentRecovery somewhere in the Adobe Illustrator preferences file.

    After that, I opened the file recovered and removed the name of the instance (which, in this case, was "vertical arrow" who had problems) from the list and it worked. I got my rear backrest (with the instance of course lack).

    Thank you very much for your help guys!

  • Get the message "This Mac cannot connect to iCloud due to a problem with my Id, open Preferences to solve iCloud iCloud" after entering my password which is accepted and then after a minute or two messages is.

    Get the message "This Mac cannot connect to iCloud due to a problem with my Id, open Preferences to solve iCloud iCloud" after entering my password which is accepted and then after a minute or two messages is.

    I'm your pain ptapp!

    Through my research for an answer that solves this problem, I have found that not even Apple knows how to solve this problem of password to iCloud.

    All 4 of my devices constantly ask my password because of some problems with xyz account.

    Then I enter the password only to be told that iCloud cannot check my password.

    Then after several repetitions of this I get locked and have to go to the site apple id to change my password.

    I didn't spend $6 000 on these beautiful devices so I could spend countless hours dealing with support (with no positive result) and find themselves just beyond myself in frustration. I have a Mac Pro, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones and an iPod touch. All are behaving this way, no matter what it is I'm doing at the time.

    Apple needs to fix this problem, if they have any idea how to.

  • Illustrator 2015.3 cannot open picture error

    We have a pair of Mac over a network, the two companies running CC. After the last update, Illustrator files created on one machine and recorded on a common server cannot be opened on another machine. By clicking on the results of the server file in a tiny dialog with just the expression 'cannot open the illustration ".

    By clicking on this box opens Illustrator and shows blank project work plans. No art, no file, nothing.

    Didn't help not copy files to the local hard disk.

    I really need help on this one because it substantially impedes our workflow.

    Quit and restart Illustrator can do ' Can not open Illustrator ' go away. F

    For the startup file more persistent questions of openness I recommend resetting the OOBE

    1. Quit Illustrator & creative cloud
    2. Mac Finder > order G
    3. Enter: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    4. Move your OOBE folder somewhere (I do it on my desktop)
    5. Start Illustrator

    They changed the appearance of the OOBE in 2015.3 sorry I can't give you exact directions on the files to move, but I've removed those selected to correct my last time, and there is a good chance that you can just delete them all. A backup lets you restore it, until we can find more information on these files.

    Other items you can try:

    • reset the prefs
    • Turn off the GPU by enabling / disabling Commadn E, then open your file.
  • Cannot open a new file in Illustrator (not enough RAM message)

    In times like this, I would first try a reboot)

  • Help, please! Cannot open illustrator cs2 - tried as far as I know!

    I use sick cs2 on my mac with leopard and 2 days it does not start up to - I get the "...". unexpectedly quit... "message. I checked for corrupted fonts and trashed the prefs file as described in other posts. It does not open if I try with a different account on mac but I have only a handful of fonts and it does not solve the problem. I download the trial for free cs4 now (still holding) because I have an urgent project - is - this wise? should I uninstall cs2? Thanks for your time!

    Hi obvious

    Here is a list of the places Illustrator puts preferences:

    • /Users/ [user] / Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS3 settings
    • /Users/ [user] / Library/Preferences/Adobe Save For Web AI 12.0 Pref.
    • /Users/[user]/Library/preferences/com.Adobe.Illustrator.plist

    first try the plist file, you can trash and it will regenerate itself. Others need a little more care when trashing. I recommend making a copy of it there first, move the copy to a safe place and then trash the originals. If it does not help, replace them with copies, so you don't run the risk of losing some of the parameters.

    Note, this is for CS3, but apart from the differences between the versions, the path should be the same.
