Illustrator cs5.1 crashing when saving or exporting file. Crashes when I try to save to folder. Doesn't recover any of the work I have done. HELP!

Also ... I have a mac and just updated my system to yosemite 10.10.3

Downgrade the system.
Of course you could try and fix all user privileges.
Also: do you save to harddisk? You should.
Try and delete preferences.
Did you uninstall, run the Cleaner tool and then reinstall Illustrator after updating the OS?

  • Illustrator cs5 can't saved the file or unknown error when save

    Hello,
    I have couple of brand new Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Adobe Ilustrator CS5 running on Intel Xeon Quad Core and 3GB of RAM.
    All updates including OS have been applied recently. For some reasons, the file that was worked on any of this computer can't be saved to any other format other than illustrator template itself. When saved, it either just crashed or gave an error "an unknown error has occured".
    So, I save the file as template and tested on the PC configure that has 8GB of RAM, Intel Quad Core and still couldn't save the file into .ai format. Same error was given.
    I tested the illustrator on mac with few simple lines or vector graphics and it could save fine.
    I thought it was the file itself but it appeared to be not. Due to, same design method was produced on the old mac os system with cs2 worked fine.
    Does anyone know what is wrong? I called the Adobe techs and they transfered me to someone in India who didn't know what causing it either.

    Also, I tried to reset the prefs and settings, uninstall with cleaner tool and reinstall, reload the transparent setting, etc.. including some steps the adobe techs told me.
    It still gave same error.

  • Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.

    Like the title says Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.
    Example:
    I open up indesign CS4 and open up a file called "test5". Then I go to the print menu and save it as a postscript file. Once the save as dialog box comes up it wont say "test5" but it uses whatever file name I used last time I created a PDF. 
    I want indesign to recognize that when I create a postscript file that I want it to be named the same way as my file that is open at that moment. Changing the file name every time is not bad when they are called "test5" etc but here at this company we use super long file names and it's a pain to change it every time.
    Funny thing: Some machines here do it the way in the example but other machines will do it the correct way by using the same name in the save as box.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? If something is not clear just ask!

    How about this - it's a workaround, I can't change ID or your system.
    I'm big on EXACT filenames also, case and space sensative. Do a "Save As" before printing - the file name should be correct and highlighted, ctrl+c copy, escape/cancel the Save As. Paste in the filename during the Save as Postscript File.

  • What happened to all the compressors when saving a wav file?

    When saving a wav file in Soundbooth CS3 you had your choice of 7 different compressors. In Soundbooth CS4 you can only save a wav file uncompressed. My office has to save wav files using the CCITT u-Law compressor for uploading to Verizon's VoIP system when we create auto-attendant messages.
    I could download a program that will save audio files into other formats, including the CCITT u-Law format, but I would prefer to just use Soundbooth and copying the CompilerWave.prm file from CS3 into CS4 doesn't work. Is there any way to get these compressors back without having to use another program?

    Hi,
    Several of the WAV compressors available in Soundbooth CS3, including the CCITT u-Law, will be available soon. There were some issues with including them in CS4, but those problems have been resolved. I apologize for the inconvenience. On the upside, the codecs are now faster and several bugs were addressed.
    I'll post an announcement here when this is available, and I believe it will show up in the Adobe Updater tool.

  • How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

    This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
    Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
    You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
    To download a PDF file from a link:
    1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
    2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
    My issue:  I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in.  I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory.  Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

    There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

  • When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

    When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

    There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
    To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
    The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
    1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
    2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
    3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
    3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
    4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
    5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
    6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
    When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
    Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1  - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

  • When I save photos to external hard drive they lose the names I have typed in

    when I save photos to external hard drive they lose the names I have typed in on the MacBook

    Hello and thank you for your reply.  When I export, this is what I have used:
    File Settings:
    Image Format:  JPEG
    Color Space:  sRGB
    Quality : 80-100
    I have not checked the box for "output sharpening", although I did minor sharpening as part of my edit process in LR.
    For Image Sizing, I have not changed anything. This is what is currently selected:  "resize to fit" box is checked and "long edge" is selected, 500 pixels.  Resolution 72 pixels per inch. The "don't enlarge" button is NOT checked. 
    I'm hoping this is where my issue resides!!
    Thank you!

  • I have windows XP & uninstalled firefox & trying to reinstall but when I do it tells me to reboot my comp. to finish the uninstall I have done that a few times & still get the request . What can I do to reinstall it?

    I have windows XP & uninstalled firefox & trying to reinstall but when I do it tells me to reboot my comp. to finish the uninstall I have done that a few times & still get the request . What can I do to reinstall it?

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Hello congratulations for the work you have been developing. The apple support has helped me greatly improve my Mac and better understand some applications. Recently my iPhoto has given me problems and I do not realize what is happening. When I double click a photo it does not appear ... or rather the background is black and only the zoom window appears. How to solve this? I've done a restoration of the library, but the problem remains. Thanks and good job.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
