Error loading photoshopimport.aip plugin in Illustrator CS4

[Jeffbot]

Hello, I'm currently using Illustrator CS4 and just updated my Mac to OS X Yosemite.  After installing the new software, I've got some bugs with Illustrator.  Namely, upon opening the program, I get the message "Error loading plugins". The plugin in question is "photoshopimport.aip".  I'm not sure if this is related to the next issue - I'm no longer able to open .tif files in Illustrator and says that they are "an unknown format and cannot be opened".  I have uninstalled and re-installed all Adobe programs, but I still get the same error messages.

Naturally, most of the work I do is in Illustrator with .tif files.  Can anyone offer some help with these problems?  Is this a case of the new OS X and CS4 having compatibility issues?  Am I going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a newer version of Adobe?  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try the solution I listed in post 43 above? It is the easiest fix.

This originally worked for me in that I could open my files with psd or tiff files in them.

BUT whenever I tried to PLACE an image, it crashed on me every time.

Using Mac OSX 10.10.5 and Illustrator CS4 v. 14.0.0. (Does anyone know if this version of illustrator is the latest?)

Has anyone been able to place psd and tiff files from photoshop into illustrator using MacOSX 10.10?

I tried all the other suggestions and nothing worked for me.
