macintosh osx el capitan is crashing when running adobe pdf

Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 Update There was an error downloading this update.

When using Adobe Illustrator CS5, any time I attempt to use the Eyedropper tool, the program will crash as soon as I click on the object Im trying to copy the color of.

I have noticed that I am able to use the eyedropper successfully ONLY when copying the color of a SOLID color object.

The issue is happening on both my Macbook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) and my iMac (24-inch, Early 2008).

PLEASE help. I am very reliant on using Adobe Illustrator for my job.

Any advice will help, or if you are experiencing the same (or similar) issue let me know so I can avoid anything that will cause the crash.

Please refer to system requirements here: System requirements Adobe Illustrator.

I will try the 3 step process this evening and report back to the thread.

If that doesnt do the trick, I will most likely be following Rays advice.

Im about to uninstall, but was wondering if I should tick the Deactivate box for the uninstallation I know Ill be reinstalling on the same computer, so technically its unnecessary, but I wasnt sure if deactivating would possibly add to the clean sweep approach.

Just to Illustrate, if I were to replace my (newer version same battery) backup mobile phone set (three of them to last the rest of the time), I should have to pay for them in Taka.

And the telly and the two backups (looking for a third one) are as old as Illy (wihin a year or two for all of them).

Ive also learned that there is an issue that causes the program to crash simply when Quitting as well.

Seems like Im going to have to just downgrade back to previous OSX so I can use my programs properly.

After reinstallation of programs, I received the following error messages when attempting to install updates: Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 Update There was an error downloading this update.

Adobe Device Central CS5.0.1 There was an error downloading this update.
