Have you tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it. Simple to do and should get it working again. Worth the try.
Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes did that and repaired perm's. I should mention I have an older Mac Pro

So I am assuming that did not fix it for you. Sorry it is the only suggestion I have for you currently. I had my HDD replaced recently and had similar issues with CS6 MC, some were crashing and others were not being recognized. But a quick uninstall and reinstall solved my problems. Wish I could be of more help to you, but here's hoping someone else comes along and have some more suggestions for you. Lots of bright people here.
Reset your preferences.
Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift when starting AI to reset to the defaults.
Disable Illustrator Plugins
Hold down left shift while starting application
Clear your Font Cache
Check your crash logs. More often than not it's a corrupt font either on the machine or in the font cache.

sudo atsutil databases -remove
From a terminal screen. Reboot the computer immediately after.
I keep Onyx on my machines, great free utility tool: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=8fdffd07a84a0ab9886b0d47ddad4aae
Onyx if you read the description is a utility tool that allows you to do things like delete caches and old logs without having to try to find them in the file system or enter commands in Terminal. Pretty much a click/shoot tool that eliminates some pain for users that aren't real comfortable at a command prompt.
Thanks for all your help. I went into the terminal years ago on an older Mac and typed sudo and lost all my files in the home dir.
Well I did all you instructed one at a time. Nothing worked but I will say after I did the "Reset pref's" as I launched Illustrator the innerface stayed up for about 20 sec. or longer but then crashed. I used Onyx for the clear font cache. I did not go into the Terminal manually.
Boo. Might want to find the crash logs, Utility/Console/Diagnostic and User Information to see if you can see if it's pointing to why.
Is this what you wanted me to look at? Because I don't understand it. Please help if you can. Thanks for your time.
It's a crash dump, but appears to be for Stuffit. Need one of the ones for AI. You're getting warm
Will it be in the same place "User Diagnostic Report?It's a crash dump, but appears to be for Stuffit. Need one of the ones for AI. You're getting warm
