so confused with all the advice over this everywhere i'm looking

just updated a 2011 macbook pro to 10.10.2 - now illustrator cs6 won't open

it gets "To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6.app” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."

the link goes to Java for OS X 2014-001 also About Java for OS X 2014-001 - Apple Support but those pages say "Download the latest version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle. Download the latest version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle."

i did downloaded from here https://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp?locale=en and rebooted several times still no joy

all os and apps up to date -- i'm really going to hate this is the fix is to uninstall all my adobe apps and reinstall them -- does reinstalling actually work -- is that what i'm missing (it worked great before I upgraded 10.10 over 10.8

      Correct answer gator soup

      THIS WORKED FOR ME RATHER EFFORTLESSLY (installed the latest Java from Oracle and running the 2 terminal codes) from Kals #7:

      Why not install the latest version of Java from Oracle (currently Java 8) and try the solution I linked to? You can create the folders manually in the Finder, or just copy and paste the following commands into the Terminal (one at a time of course) to create them automatically:

      sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk

      sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle

      Saved Me from uninstall/reinstall Adobe...

      hitting problems trying to install CS6 Illustrator 16.0 on a 10.14.5 Mojave macOS (2012 Mac mini i7)

      sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle

      generates this:

      mkdir: /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle: Operation not permitted

      2MM1014:~ editeduser$

      sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk

      generates this:

      mkdir: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk: Operation not permitted

      2MM1014:~ editeduser$

      I AM UNABLE TO COPY THE FOLDERS IN PLACE

      I did not install the the latest Java from Oracle   because 10.14 is pretty advanced

      DO YOU THINK IT MATTERS (or is my approach broken)?

      Note:

      The Oracle Java License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019
      Version 8 Update 211
      Release date April 16, 2019

      I see hunter3740  Jan 4, 2018 10:21 AM (post 28) pasted in a lengthy process - too involved for my pea brain.

      IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR MAKING ILLUSTRATOR CS6 WORK AROUND THE JAVA ISSUE ON MOJAVE 10.14?

      I don’t know mojave because after I found out that the bridge cs6 photo downloader stopped working and because I am happy that all other programs are still working, I am not going forward with another apple OS knowing that I will shurely have problems.

      what I am really curious about: is this a new computer? After I did the installation under Yosemite I didn’t have to change anything as I went to high Sierra. So I am wondering why you have to do something.

      i don’t think that there is a difference using an older java or a newer one except security. But after I did the installation under Yosemite I do normal updates for Java. I am astonished about the new licensing but I still do.

      regards

      Mac mini 2012 new to me

      I did an Erase, start-from-scratch Mojave 10.14 install

      ran the most recent Adobe DesignWebPremium_CS6_LS16.dmg (the full CS6 Design Web Premium trial installer and entered the retail boxed perpetual serial number)

      did hit a problem updating the .0 versions the LS16 installed through Help>Update... - now that the direct stand-alone app updaters have been deleted off Adobe servers a couple weeks ago, and Adobe support unable to discuss CS6 - I'm stuck with .0 apps...

      I called both adobe and apple. Adobe doesn´t give this type of support, apple helped me fix my problem. I downloaded the java for OSX from apple (I was having issues with my browser  whixh they helped me solve and was able to the download)

      Thank you everyone for your help!!!

      Dora,

      Just out of curiosity: how does the solution described in your post #16 in this thread compare to the alternative/last suggestion in my post #3 in your own thread hover there, Re: illustrator won´t open , and did you ever try the first suggestion in the same post #3 which refers to the start of this thread?

      HI!! I installed tha latest version from legacy, but it didn´t solve the issue. I tried all suggestions including the ones with script, those didn´t work either. What solved my partiular problem was downloading :

      Download Java for OS X 2015-001

      gator soup,

      You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:

      Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

      The solution was presented by Kals in post #7 here:

      https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1637908

      Here is the direct download site:

      Mac:

      http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

      Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.

      Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.

      The right way/order is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications, at least the one(s) with (remaining) issues.

        My 10.10.2 system navigates like this

        HD> System> Library> Java (shown below):

        i don't have a JavaVirtualMachines> 1.6.0.jdk

        or a Support> Deploy.bundle

        in the java folder above, am i supposed to make a new folder "JavaVirtualMachines"

        and make a new folder in that folder called "1.6.0.jdk" -- for example, is that what you mean?

        do you have a screenshot in column view of how it is supposed to look?

        thanks...
