Illustrator crashes in Mac OS 11 Big Sur

Hi,

I installed Big Sur in my laptop to test all of my programs first and I can't get Illustrator 2021 to open. I get the splash screen and it just sits there. I don't have any issues with InDesign or Photoshop. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi all,

 

Sorry about this trouble. There could be multiple reasons why the application would crash. I would request if you could try the steps mentioned on this page (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/how-to-fix-a-crash-and-recover-documents-in-illustrator/td-p/11434061?page=1) and share your observations with us. 

 

You may also try to remove the folder "com.adobe.illustrator" from ~/library/caches, restart your mac and let us know how it goes.

 

Regards,

Srishti

Does it get better when you disconnect from the internet?

It does not. I disconnected from wifi and went to open and I get the same result. Just say "initializing...." and spinning beach ball.
