You could try File->New, Apple has used that menu command since 1984.

Did you look at the pictures?

Thats really annoying answer. I know how to use Illustrator, and since I moved to the new mac I cant open files, also existing ones.

Please embed images into your post instead of just attaching them.

 

Does it work when you turn off the Home screen and turn on the "Legacy New" dialog box in Preferences > General?

 

And then maybe an aggressive firewall blocks some necessary content from appearing on the Home Screen?

Also: when updating the system, did you reinstall Illustrator?

Did you reset the preferences?

Does Illustrator have sufficient privileges to read from your disk? Let alone write to it.

Illustrator also doesn't care a lot about Photoshop.

 

You can try if logging out and then logging into your Adobe ID helps.

 

And then there are some other things you can do about the Creative Cloud stuff:

Sometimes resetting the OOBE folder helps (as described in that link)

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. In addition to the responses shared earlier, I'd recommend creating a new user on your mac and try to work on the app there.

Additionally, you may follow the suggestions given here on this community post & let us know if they help.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

Hi

 

Did you manage to resolve this?  I'm getting exactly the same issue.  I'm using Windows 10.

 

InDesign and Photo Shop work without any issues.

 

Thanks.

I haven't got another computer to try it on.  I'm using Affinity Designer instead at the moment but the trouble with that is there is not image trace facility so I have to use other software with it as well.

 

I'm going to uninstall Ai again and then go in and delete all temp and roaming files and reinstall.  Hopefully that will sort it out.
