Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document area and try

Hi there,
Running Illustrator CS6 on a PC. Everytime I try to open a illustrator file from windows explorer the error written in the subject line come up. I resize the illustrator window to full screen, however upon opening the file again, the window shrinks and the same error comes up. I am still able to open files if I go file>open in the illustrator menu....
this is just a minor annoyance and want a solution to this problem please?

Hi Ben,
Have updated Illustrator yet? I would suggest to first reset the preferences to see if that helps. Are you using a dual monitor display or any 3rd party plugins?

Can't Open the Illustration. There is not enough room for the window;

This is more of a nusance than an actual problem. But, when I double click on an AI document to open it the Illustrator window will shrink down to what is in the attached image and throw an error. The error reads "Can't open the Illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document area and try again."
I can drag and drop the file into Illustrator and file>open of course, but the double-click method isn't working.
I'm not sure if this is a Windows 7 issue or an Illustrator issue.

dual monitors. And i'm on windows so the application frame cannot be toggled.
I was able to fix it. Detached the application and then resized the scrunched window. that seems to have done the trick. Weird since I had never squeezed it all the way down like that.
thanks! Didn't know about the preferences reset.

Can't open the illustrator. There is not enough room for the window.

hello all,
I've seen this asked before. But no real solution has been found.
I'm working with both Ps and Ai and A LOT of Ai files embedded in Ps (smart objects). Don't ask
The problem is that whenever I want to open a smart object illustrator shrinks to tiny size and that message pops up (Can't open the illustrator. There is not enough room for the window. etc etc). That happens mostly when the illustrator is already open.
There has to be a solution other than deleting the preference folder (have too many other preferences there that I do not want to set up again, like color prefs etc) And btw, I've seen people saying the problem actually comes back fairly soon.
It's worth mentioning that it started slow - at first it was opening illy just half the maximized size.
Shift+Close (X on the top) that used to help with apps that do not want to open in a right size, is not helping. Only solution is to open (double click smart object) it once, shift+closing and opening it again.
That however is NOT helping the productivity. Luckily at the workshop I do have a very fast PC that opens illy in about second/ second and a half, but for one that I have at home I would hang myself before I could do some proper work.
Adobe tech support has nothing.
REALLY? This aint a freeware to have this type of flaw for YEARS from what I read (at least since CS4)
Really frustrated here.
OS: Win 7 64bit
Adobe ver.: Ps and Illy - CS6
A.S.

Thank you for pointing me to that thread. I've seen it and:
1. problem described is different
2. not a single permanent fix (I mean cmon, 'resize the window by draggin it bigger' or 'alt+O to open') Not looking for ECDL type of help.
Also, as I mentioned in my first post, thrashing settings folder is not an option.
It's an expensive product and it has to have a proper fix. Am I not in the right place?

Can anyone help? I've just got my new iphone 6. I'm restoring from the icloud but it's saying there's not enough storage for my photos....and I'm unable to access any images. Help appreciated

Hi,
I've just moved on from an iphone 5 to an iphone 6.
I'm now on my second attempt at restoring it through the icloud.
My photos and videos are unavailable and it keeps saying I'm low on storage. At this stage it just keeps saying it's updating but it's been saying that for 8 hours and I still don;t have any photos available....any advice appreciated. It's getting a little frustating
Thanks,
Emma

The backup cannot be restored to the iPhone if there is not enough storage space available.

Illistrator CS6 Not Enough Room For The Window Error; Windows 7 64 bit

Illistrator CS6 Not Enough Room For The Window Error; Windows 7 64-bit
Recieved the same error on files under 2mb; was able to resolve by MAXIMIZING Illistrator window prior to opening file. If that failed, issue was resolved by closing app, removing settings folder from AppData\Adobe and restarting Illistrator. Now, any file over 15mb is unable to open even when attempting the above steps. Also uninstallled and reinstalled app with same results.
Please advise.

Hi this has happened to me as well. I have been using a file for weeks and this morning I got this message "there is not enough room for the window".
Can someone help me/us? would this be a bug in Illustrator. I have never gottten this error before...
Thank you so much.

I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

Try to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. It won't delete your data.
When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?

Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.
What is the exact message?

Having you stop pestering me about openness. Have you not heard of identity theft. There is not enough security for "openness!"

Having you stop pestering me about openness. Have you not heard of identity theft. There is not enough security for "openness!" Asking questions should be easier. This is too much going thru 4 pages to ask you one question. Why does firefox crash so often?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== a year ago.

The questions are asked to collect information to analyze the problems you are experiencing. Otherwise we would see a lot of "It doesn't work" or "What is wrong with my Firefox" with no other details. There is no personal information requested. You can choose to leave an e-mail address so that you receive a notification when someone responds to your question; otherwise, you must search for your post when you return. With the thousands of questions received each week, searching the forum for your post when you return can be tedious, and sometimes unfruitful. The e-mail address you leave for notification is not accessible by us; the notifications are automated.
'''We are all uncompensated volunteers here; users helping other users.'''
Most crashes are caused by Extensions or Plugins. Sometimes crashes can be caused by malware or by something wrong on your system.
'''Firefox Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

IPod can't be synced because there's not enough free space?

One day I connected my iPod to iTunes and when I disconnected it when it said 'Ok to disconnect', when I turned on my iPod, all my songs and playlists disappeared.
In iTunes, it says that it can't be synced because there's not enough free space.
*My iPod mini has 4 GB space, and currently the songs in my iPod only take up 174.32 GB.*
Then it says in the message that 2.88 GB required and that there's only 52 MB left.
What is wrong with my iPod/iTunes? It's frustrating me so much already, you have no idea. Please, please help me, I'm already so desperate.

When you say restore it, do you mean restore the one in iTunes or restore my iPod itself? The press the circle button then press menu for a long time in my iPod? I already did that.
It says 174.32. I only have about 700 something songs because I tried deleting some to see if deleting some songs would help fix the problem but no. It's strange because before all my songs and playlists disappeared in my iPod, I even had more songs in my iPod than what I have in iTunes now.
About 15-30 minutes ago, I was able to put only about 9-10 songs in my iPod because it says it doesn't have enough free space. It's so strange, it really frustrates me.

I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2 I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. Noise at HardDisk part

Why my sister's Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. huhuhu.. the sound come from HardDisk in that laptop.. its sound like the HDD reader scratched the Disc insde.. how can it be?? my sister scold me already couze she wanna use for her work..

Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

I deleted my itunes library (after backing up) now i want to restore from TM to my MBA but its saying there is not enough room even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

Hi everyone,
I deleted my itunes library (after backing up to my time machine) to download a large torrent, now i want to restore my itunes library to my MBA from time machine but its saying there is not enough room on my MBA even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

Here's something else to consider:
Since Snow Leopard, OS X uses a Decimal count for file size. iTunes however still uses a Binary count. What that means is: your iTunes library shows one size, while the folder shows another. Depending on the size of your library, this can be a pretty big difference.
Yours won't be that much, but it may be enough to prevent it from moving to the MBA from the TM.
