Adobe Illustrator CS4 won't work
Hi all,
New here. My Adobe illustrator has suddenly decided to stop working. I recently updated my Mac OS to Yosemite.
When I try to run Illustrator with the Console open, I get the following error messages (separated by a *):
05/11/2014 23:14:48.678 Adobe Illustrator[521]: WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.0 instead of 10.10.0. Use NSProcessInfo's operatingSystemVersion property to get correct system version number.
Call location:

Referenced from: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS4/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/AdobePSL.framework/Versions/A/AdobePSL
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
Does anyone have any clue about this?
Many thanks for your help!
Rob

Looks as though one of Adobe's internal plug-ins makes a call to a system function that no longer exists. That function map_fd had a security vulnerability a while ago but Apple has obviously just removed it in Yosemite.
If it's a minor update, Adobe might issue one but I doubt it. Mostly likely they'll just say to get Adobe CC as the support period for CS4 will have run out by now.
Adobe apps are, Illustrator in particular, are finicky. Move the wrong file or font and the install is worthless. Before you have a fit, try uninstalling Illustrator and reinstalling. It's likely that everything will be fine.
Think the CS4 suite requires Java as well.
At least I got alerts and fed it Java and seems OK now.
Although I can't get Photoshop's perspective tool to work. Instead of doing a perspective correct it zooms in on a single pixel.
