I have just installed Illustrator on my Mac. Every time I try to open it, it crashes. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and updated my Mac. Nothing worked. Thank you in advance for you ideas 🙂

Did you first install the Creative Cloud management app and use it to install AI?

Thank you, I have had creative cloud and Photoshop for a while, I have just upgraded to all apps. I did follow the suggestions in the previous post, none worked and some I couldn't try because I couldn't find the files referred to. Illustrator still crashes in Safe mode, it doesn't fully open before it crashes so I can't get into the preferences.

Hi there,

 

We are extremely sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing with Illustrator. We are currently investigating this issue and would request you to share the following details:

 

  • Exact version of Illustrator and operating system.
  • Does turning off Automatic Graphic Switching (System Preferences > Energy > Uncheck Automatic graphics switching) helps resolving the issue?

  • SPX file from MAC
    Click on Apple Icon > About this Mac > System Report
    This will launch the System Profiler
    Then Click File > Save > Save in Creative Cloud Files
    Then open https://assets.adobe.com/files
    Click on three dots next to spx file > Share > Copy Link and share it with us.

Regards,
