  1. Illustrator don't work after Mac OS update

    I'm using mac mini m1 with the latest Ai CC update (26.4.1). But after the OS update (12.5.1) I can't get Ai to work, it stuck at startup screen, cant click to any menu or button (video included). I had to roll back to 25.1 (intel) version to continue my works. What should I do?

  3. Illustrator auto-close when opening an .ai file

    It closes automatically when I open an .AI file, whether I double-click the file or open it from the illustrator menu.

    I already reinstalled illustrator and the problem continues.

  8. Home Screen

    When I open Illustrator, this is the only screen that comes up, and I can open files and make new files from templates, but I am unable to make a new file from the home page. I have to open another document from my finder to Illustrator to be able to click to create a new file. What is going on??

  11. illustratorの年間契約の期限内にも関わらず、使用できなくなっている。

    illustratorの期限内にも関わらず、使う事ができない状態が続いている。起動しても、体験版を勧められる。Creative Cloud desk topでは、illustratorの新たな購入すらできない。Adobeのアプリとファイルを消したにも関わらず、何も改善されなかった。

    Illustrator 製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。

    ご報告いただいた「Windows 11 でファイルを開けない」という問題についてですが、まず「Windows 11 はまだサポート対象外」であることをご了承ください。

    詳しくは Illustrator の必要システム構成

    https://helpx.adobe.com/jp/illustrator/system-requirements.html#windows-sys )ページを参照してください。

    その上で、いくつか質問させていただきます。

    • 開けないファイルは「クラウド」、「コンピューター(ローカル)」の両方ともですか?
    • PC 起動後の最初の Illustrator 起動だけで、2回目以降の起動では全く問題はありませんか?

    お手数をおかけいたしますが、ご確認くださいますようよろしくお願いいたします。

  14. Illustrator 2022 DOES NOT OPEN.

    This new Illustrator update DOES NOT WORK. Just installed the new 2022 update yesterday 11/01, and it worked for half the day, and in the second half, the app refused to open. Tried again this morning 11/02, and there was a small update to Illustrator, so in hopes of fixing the issue from yesterday, I installed the update, and guess what, still broken. I reinstalled the past version of Illustrator, and that doesn't work now either. I'm not telling you how to do your job Adobe, but for me to do my job, I need Illustrator to work. If you…

    This is embarrassing and incredibly sad to hear. I can’t imagine to be cut off a my main tool when I need it.
    I guess the only option you can try is to clean all the traces of previous versions installed with the Cleaner Tool (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html), install 2021 version and hope it work.
    So sorry it happened, and I wish I could do more.
    Please add votes to this if you experience the same issue, it will help to initiate a proper investigation.

  15. Getting Blank screen

    Getting grey blank screen not able to see any UI like File, Edit, etc., menus. Even the shortcuts are not working. Within seconds the Adobe illustrator closed automatically. Not able to recover the file as well.

  17. Illustrator WILL NOT LAUNCH on Apple Silicon

    I've been having this issue for a few weeks. Trying to launch Illustrator 26.0.1 on Apple Silicon (I have tried both the Apple Silicon version and the Intel version). I don't get the splash screen. The menu at the top of the screen loads, and says "Illustrator," but all menu options are grayed out. I can't open a file by right-clicking in Finder and saying "Open with Illustrator". Illustrator freezes/crashes at this point and the only solution is to force quit via the Task Manager. Please help!

  18. Adobe Illustrator 26.0.2 on Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.7 will not launch

    I updated to Adobe Illustrator 26.0.2 from 26.0.1. I am on Catalina 10.15.7. Illustrator will not launch and I get the error report with the prompt to send it to Adobe. I restarted my computer and it behaved the same way. I then uninstalled 26.0.2 and re-installed a clean version. Still did not launch. I then uninstalled and installed 26.0.1, which I am using now, but would like to update.
