  2. Crash on creating new file

    I updated to Illustrator 2023 (v27.0.0) a few days ago. Now, whenever I launch and try to create a new file, the program crashes. I can't do anything. I'm running MacOS 12.6.

  4. 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。

  7. 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.

  9. 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!

  13. Illustrator 25.3.1 Will Not Open

    At least two of the computers in our office are having issues with the latest Illustrator update 25.3.1. The program does not open when selecting a file and performing Open With>Adobe Illustrator 2021. The program does not open from the start menu. The program does not open directly from the Illustrator.exe file. If you try to uninstall Illustrator with Creative Cloud, it tells you that you can't because the program is open. If you go to the Task Manager with less detail, Illustrator does not show open, however, if you select more detail, you may see 14 or more processes…

  14. Recent file shows correct file but opens up as older version

    Hi there,

    I am using Illustrator 25.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro.

    When I open Illustrator and look into the 'recent' panel I see the document I was working on yesterday with all the changes I made (picture 1), but when I click on it, it opens what seems to be an older version of the document and all the changes I made during the day yesterday just disappear (photo2, note the few pages and other changes not showing).

    I know I saved during the day yesterday (as it took a long time to save every time) and clearly remember…

  18. .AI files won't open after latest update (25.2.1)

    Updated to version 25.2.1 a few days ago and now I can't get any .AI files to open without going straight to file>open.

    Getting tired of dealing with a different issue every time this software updates.

  20. バックグラウンドプロセスが消えない

    1.バージョン
    windows10 pro ,V25.2

    2.問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    2-1.一度ダブルクリックでファイルを開きます。
    2-2.保存せず、Illustratorを終了します。
    2-3.再びダブルクリックでファイルを開きます。

    3.想定していた結果
    Illustratorが起動して、ファイルが開ける。

    4.実際の結果
    「Illustratorの前回のセッションは、まだプロセスを終了していません。ほとんどの場合、プロセスはバックグラウンドで実行されています。しばらく待ってからもう一度お試しください。」というダイアログが出て開けない。ファイルを開かず起動のみ試みても同様。

    今までこういう症状はなかったので、バグとして報告します。
