Adobe Illustrator (CS5) keeps crashing when I try to save my files

So in the last few weeks, my adobe illustrator has started acting up and won't save my files unless they are in the folder that the program makes itself. Those are usually files with long names that are a series of numbers and letters. Even if I copy and paste the name into a search, my computer isn't able to locate the folder, which makes it impossible to do any work because it will only save to one place. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it?

Does this help any? I'm trying to save my files to my desktop (or anywhere locatable for that matter) But it only allows me to save to this file for some reason. Even if I copy and paste the name of the file, it does not appear when I try to find my file outside of AI. When I try to choose a different location, I get the error message below

  • Adobe Muse CC keeps crashing when I try to open my file.

    Hi all,
    I've recently created a project off Adobe Muse, but for some reason it keeps crashing when I try to open it. I can create a new
    file in muse, but I cannot open that file. The file size is only 13MB. Here is a screen shot of what appears on my screen :

    Hi Zak,
    Sorry my knowledge in computer mechanics are very low, but this is the general information about my
    current computer. The Muse file is also stored in my documents.

  • Photoshop CS5 keeps crashing when I try to upload file

    Photoshop CS5 keeps crashing when I try to upload file.  Any suggestions?
    I'm new to Photoshop and trying to figure it out.  It does not do this in Illustrator.

    Likely Chris missed that you mentioned you're running OSX, Stephen, and this is the Windows-specific forum.  You might want to ask on the Macintosh-specific forum...   http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_macintosh

  • After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

    After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    or the link to directly download this 1.09GB combo updater:

  • Flash CS5.5 crashes when I try to open any files. New ones as well as saved .fla's.

    Yesterday I was working in Flash cs5.5 and out of nowhere it stopped responding. So I quit and turned it back on again. Okay, it loaded fine, the screen came up, prompting me to create a new file or open one. I tried opening my old file and Flash stopped responding. Worried that it might be a corruption in my file, I opened Flash up again, this time to try and create a new file. When I clicked Actionscript 3.0, the same thing happened. It stopped responding.
    I've tried a few differnet things. From rebooting the computer to deleting the preferences even to uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing seems to fix this. Can anyone help me out? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Asus G73Sw Series
    i7-2630QM CPU 2.00 Ghz
    8GB ram
    64bit

    Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
    Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

  • Illustrator hangs or crashes when I try to save as PDF

    I am using Illustrator to creates designs for a Flex app. My document has a lot of symbols, rasterized images and layers (it's about 8.1 MB).
    Illustrator has stopped doing two things that I need it to do:
    1) It just hangs (infinite beachball on OS X) when I try to Save As an "Acrobat Viewable" AI file.
    2) It also hangs (or crashes on my PC) when I try to save as PDF, regardless of the options I choose.
    I can Save or Save As as long as I don't include Acrobat support.
    Any ideas on this? Thanks!

    Started eliminating layers, one by one, and trying a PDF export.
    It hung and hung and hung until I had deleted about 10 first level layers... then it hung for a bit and boom! It exported.
    I went into the original doc and deleted the last layer I had removed from the test doc and it hung as usual.
    My conclusion? No bad objects - just too many layers for Illustrator to handle in a timely manner. I've officially taxed the program, which was totally crashing it on my Windows machine.
    Why so many layers? Since I am skinning a Flex app by exporting a .swf skin file from Illustrator, I have all of the app layouts in one .ai file. This consists of 46 first level layers, and hundreds of secondary and tertiary layers. It also includes a truckload of embedded graphics sprinkled throughout for layout purposes. Plus symbols.
    It's just too much for Illustrator - a program not really designed for this workflow - to handle.
    I don't want to make separate files for each site section as that'd require me to port the symbols back and forth all the time when I make a simple change, like a button style adjustment.
    Any other advice on managing this better is appreciated, but nothing jumps out as an easy and scalable solution.
    Thanks for the help, especially jean.

  • InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to save out a printable PDF with Trim and/or Bleed marks.

    Hello!
    Everytime I try to save out a PDF (Printable, not Interactive) and tick trim or bleed marks, Indesign just crashes.
    I've uninstalled InDesign and Acrobat. Made sure I had no Preferences saved from CS6, then installed again, but the same keeps on happening.
    I have a print deadlien Monday so I really need this to work.
    It used to work fine in CS6.
    Can anybody help?

    I recently had the same problem. I would try to publish and the program would lock up and crash.
    I discovered it just to be a small bit of code I imputed wrong for an action. I had a comma instead of a quote before one of my commands.
    Example... I had 'GoTo" instead of "GoTo"
    I fixed the error and all worked fine!
    But I wonder why such a small error would crash the program instead of flagging the error when I attempted to publish? That feature worked great in Flash!!
    Thanks,
    John O.

  • Soundtrack Pro Crashes when I try to save Audio File Project

    What I'm trying to do seems fairly simple which is why I can't figure out why STP is crashing every time I try to save.
    I have some dialogue in Final Cut that I want to run a simple Reduce Noise filter on, so I'm sending that sequence to an STP Multitrack Project, then double clicking it to open the audio file it's referencing. Then I run reduce noise, the filter sounds fine in both the audio file and multitrack projects. Then I try to save, in either project, and STP freezes and I have to force quit.
    I've trashed my preferences for both FCP and STP, and repaired disk permissions. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Do I just need to reinstall?

    The workaround I used was to just export the whole thing without saving, and then reimport it into FCP. It works for this project, but it doesn't really seem like the RIGHT way that this whole operation should work!

  • Adobe Illustrator CS4 is crashing when I try to place an object

    Every time I try to place an object... or really everytime I try to do something that opens a finder window (re-linking objects, etc) the program crashes.  I have a macbook pro, should have plenty of RAM and have no idea why this is happening.
    Please help!

    Nelli:
    Can you tell us how much RAM you have and what OS version you are running?
    Also, how much hard drive space do you have available?
    It may be only that your preferences got corrupt. Have you tried deleting your preference file and letting Illustrator rebuild it when it's launched again?

  • My Illustrator CS5 keeps freezing when I try to render artwork using the 3D revolve effect.

    I am designing my band's album cover and it features pill capsules.  I can create the object with ease, but when I click on "3D Revolve" and then hit "preview" it says "Rendering Artwork" and instantly freezes at halfway.  This is really starting to get on my nerves, seeing as how I want to get this done asap.  I have tried the Alt+Ctrl+Shift trick that I have heard of, but that doesn't help either.  Any ideas, guys?
