ALL CS6 Apps Freeze When SAVING file to External HD

Ok Adobe, help me out here before I reconsider my longstanding glee with Master Suite CS4. I recently subscribed to the Creative Cloud, downloaded, installed and activated ALL applications. All applications have since been updated via the Adobe updater and no other updates show as available. Note: since first issue, this process has been repeated to ensure a complete and successful instal.
All applications open and are fully functional, with a few speed issues in Photoshop and Illustrator noticed so far.
Now, immediately upon installing CS6 via Creative Cloud, I can no longer SAVE any files, from any of the Adobe CS6 or CS4 apps to an external HD without the application freezing and completely crashing my system. If I click SAVE AS or work from any file on my local HD I don't have any issue, but I'm NOT going through life having to perform these multiple steps.
Once the Creative Cloud app freezes, my entire system freezes and I need to hard-restart the system. Not good...
Keep in mind, the issue appears only to happen when I'm working from a file located on any of the external HD's and trying to SAVE edits, etc. The first SAVE or SAVE AS seems to work without freeze.
NOTE: I only have issues with Adobe products and only since I installed them from the Creative Cloud. I also see that thousands of others are experiencing the same issue, but no Adobe fix has been supplied/suggested. I have not needed any Mac updates since BEFORE I installed from Creative Cloud and CS4 was working flawlessly up to the minute I subscribed to Creative Cloud.
My system Info:
- Mac OSX 10.7.4 (up to date and running flawlessly)
- Apple Time Capsule setup as external HD (not used for Time Machine)
- LaCie BigDisk external HD
- All fonts have been validated and duplicate/broken fonts removed, cache cleaned, etc.
- Open CL in Photoshop disabled with no positive results.
- Auto save is OFF on system
Questions:
1. Why did Creative Cloud install completely new CS6 apps and not upgrade to overwrite the existing CS4 apps?
2. How do we upgrade from CS4 to Creative Cloud without having two installs; previous and new versions of apps?
3. What is the fix?
4. Loyalty and enthusiasm are waning - please reply ASAP.
Long time Adobe customer - Thanks, AZH

No Adobe upgrade, except Acrobat will ever replace the old install. This has nothing to do with Creative Cloud.

CS2 freezes when saving files

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit and suddenly my files freeze when saving. Runing version 9.0.2. Can anyone help?

Photoshop CS2. When I work on a file and click "save" it freezes. If I click save as, using the same name it freezes. If I save it and number or change the file name it save correctly without freezing. i.e. Save 1.jpg' save 2.jpg etc.

Modified Date is off by 5 hours when saving files to External One Touch 4

Have Googled and searched forums here but can't find an answer anywhere, but please do direct me if I've just missed it...
I back up files via Linksys wireless server to a Sentry Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive (originally used with PC) without problem except for the timestamp. Modified Date is always exactly 5 hours earlier. For example, if I save a file to my Mac desktop and to the external hard drive at 7:05pm, then the desktop file properties will show a modified date of 7:05pm (accurate), but the external hard drive file will show 2:05pm (off by 5 hours).
Any ideas?

Thanks for the welcome and your speedy responses, Michael and Joey. Although my technical skills are limited, I'm sure the drive is still NTFS as I did nothing to update it from use with our PC since we still have one of those in the house using the hard drive (unfortunate, I know).
However, I did just try a cheat with the time setting on the Linksys wireless server. Although I had confirmed it was correct before, it hit me that maybe I could change it to GMT-England and that would result in correct timestamping. It worked! Of course, the PC will probably be off now when saving files, but I haven't checked that yet. Any other issues/problems you think I may encounter by doing this?
If not, then I can live with the cheat. Thanks again!

Preview freezes when saving file.

I recently upgraded my iMac to Lion Server and have been having issues with saving files using Preview.
Everytime I Print -> Open PDF in Preview, and try to save, Preview just hangs and I have to do a force quit
This also happens if I have a pdf opened File ->Duplicate -> Save...

Another odd behavior that I am experiencing is when I "Right-click" Preview app on the Dock and select "Show all Windows" several PDF's that have been closed are still showing up as opened. I have gone as far as trying to delete all the files in com.apple.Preview.savedState, but this does not fix it.

CS6 Very slow when saving files

I am an avid user of CS6 and only until recently have I began to have issues with saving these files.
I realize I could be rasterizing these files, but I can't in case I want to edit.
There are tons of clipping masks and patterns so that may be the issue, but why is this just starting now?
I just received a brand new iMac and a new subscription to creative cloud, so it's hard explaing to my boss why it is that I can't complete projects on time.
Please help!

Is the happening with CS6 or CC? What OS version do you have, Mavericks? Do yu have any 3rd party plug ins, anything from vectorscribe to extensis font activation?

Illustrator CS6 crashes often when saving files

I'm running Windows 7 64bit
I usually have Photoshop CS6, Outlook, Word, Excel open at the same time
I have 8GB Ram
I haven't found a consistent action that causes the crash. I'll just be working in Illustrator...saving a file or closing a file or looking at layers...and it just crashes.
no error message
it is frustrating
Photoshop CS6 also crashes a lot too
it is frustrating...both of them... and really slows me down

KDE4 apps freeze when selecting File - Print

Well, I've followed the Wiki directions and installed kdemod (KDE 4). Currently, whenever I try to print by selecting File -> Print from within an application, the application just hangs (I never get a print dialog), and I have to kill it. Cups seems to be set up properly through the web interface, and I can print test pages on both of my printers from there. I'm on my second time installing Archlinux, because I could find absolutely no info online about this problem and thought I must have really borked something.
So, the second time around, I decided to keep a close eye on when the problem arose (installing only a couple programs at a time), since I didn't have the problem before installing additional software. Each time I'd install a program, I'd reboot and then try printing from Konqueror. Each time it would work, until after I installed truecrypt and yakuake, and then I began having the problem again. I would suspect truecrypt rather than yakuake at the moment, but uninstalling both packages didn't fix the problem. Furthermore, I can't remember if truecrypt brought down any dependencies
I seem to be the only person having this problem, if I can judge by the complete lack of info online about this (at least that I can find).

Okay, so when the application hangs while printing, no error messages are written to either the .xsession-errors or the cups log. Opening the system monitor (CTL-ESC) I see no tasks taking up CPU or unusual amounts of RAM. If I kill the frozen application, some lines are written to the .xsession-errors file, but I'm not sure if they are helpful or not. Regardless, I have posted them below.
The application hangs immediately after selecting Print from the File menu. After selecting Print, the file menu disappears, and a blank patch of grey is left in place of the menu--it never gets redrawn. If I move any windows over other areas of the frozen application, those areas do not redraw either.
Here is what was written to my cups error log since booting my PC this morning. The last item written to the log occurred two hours before I tried printing.

How to "Ignore Ownership On This Volume" When Saving File to External Hard Drive?

Hello,
I just switched over from Photoshop CS3 pc platform to the MAC version, and it gives me the message that I can't save what I've I've just done - I have my photo files on an external Seagate Free Agent Hard Disk - When I followed the instructions to "Select Disk/Choose File/Get Info/Click Disclosure Triangle next to Sharing & Permissions" - Then after I did all of this, there was no option to select "Ignore ownership on this volume." Instead, the only thing it said was, This is read only."
Surely, I don't have to give permission to save each and every file - This is a very serious hobby for me, but I am doing it out of my home, and no one else at this time uses my computer.
Before submitting this request, I called Apple support first, and they tried doing a Disk scan and repair of the permissions, but this was only for the internal Macintosh HD drive, not the external one that is related to this incident.
Thanks For Your Help ahead of time!
Also, this might should be saved for another separate question, but I had to set change my resolution to 1920 X 1200 - The text, etc, was much too large for especially doing anything in Photoshop. This new iMac has a 3.06/4 GB RAM/1 TB internal HD/NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Graphics Card.

Buko-
To tell you the truth - and I apologize for that statement - I woke up early this morning, and it hit me that I took what Lundberg02 said earlier the wrong way! So, I couldn't wait to get back on and apologize to him and all of you - And I hope that you will forgive me.
When I think about it now, perhaps he is right - This may not have been a pertinent place for me to insert this question. But after spending a long time with Apple about it, and then Seagate - I decided that the only other place I could go was to ask you guys. I thought, perhaps someone here had encountered the same problem when switching from pc to Mac platform. But perhaps I shouldn't have.
Actually, Seagate - I think - solved the problem, at least this erase procedure was working after two hours - until I decided that I'd cancel it, and take it back to Costco for a refund, which I did. And the Seagate rep told me that he didn't blame me, because the drive was getting a little old, and if I used their warranty program, I'd probably gotten a refurbished one, anyway. So, all of this trouble I've put you good people through has gone "for naught".
But hopefully, you'll be acceptable in the future when I ask more applicable questions, when my wheels really start spinning. Otherwise, I probably won't come here that often, anyway. I just enjoy fixing up old black family photos and coloring some of them. And I got the basics down. You know, like cloning, healing, and layering them to death!!
Thanks for understanding - And for forgiving me.

Photoshop CS6 – Error When Saving Files

When saving files using Photoshop CS6 I randomly receive an error message that states 'Could not save image_name.tif' because of a program error'. Sometimes a save-as works but not guaranteed. The file is being saved to a mounted server volume and sometimes the only way to get the file on the server is to save to the desktop and then copy the file back to the server. The error message does not appear on any other Adobe applications, just Photoshop.

Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Photoshop forum. They will be able to help you here.

Illustrator CC 18.1.0 crashes when saving files (Save As)

I recently purchased and installed Adobe Creative Cloud 2014. When using Illustrator 2014.1.0 (18.1.0), the app frequently crashes when I try to save a file (Save As... to another format such as SVG). It's not repeatable every time, but it happens fairly often enough to lose work. Occasionally, it will crash when attempting to open a file - the app freezes when I try to navigate to a folder in the Open File dialog box and then crashes. I have never seen it crash when launching the app, and I do not have any external tablets (such as Wacom) or any third-party plug-ins installed. I'm running Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite with a 2009 13-inch MacBook Pro with 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M.
I've searched through the Adobe forums and in other online resources and have only found threads about Illustrator crashing during startup or when having incompatible third-party plug-ins or certain Wacom tablets installed, of which I have neither.
Anyone have any suggestions of a fix or workaround?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Macbook-adobe
What happens when you try to open any file from the same location where you are saving the file using Save As command ?
Will it be possible to join a connect session with me ?
Please do let me know about your time availability ?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

Safari freezes when saving to PDF

Hi Folks
Well... Safari doesn't freeze when saving a web document to PDF, but somehow, it gets stuck for many seconds and later it pop ups a banner which says that it can't connect with Server "Martin" (me, which I guess is the name given to the MacPro).
So I'm using the MBP as "Desktop Computer" and conneted via FireWire to the MacPro. The weird thing is that I already unmounted the disks, unpluged the FireWire cable and turned off the MacPro, but the MBP still looking for the named server.
I think that's because some sharing configurations, but I'm not sharing the Printer (I don't have one, so discard that ).
So well... this issue is pretty annoying because I have to save as PDF many web documents and the "thinking" time of the computer by looking for that server is a big waste of time.
Can anybody help me here?
Thanks a lot!
Ø3
PS:
Here is a pic if needed:

Hey Linc it happens when I click on the PDF button. After a while, the pull down menu appears with the respective options, so it happens before the process of saving the file (selecting file type, folder, etc, and save).
Hope this helps you to find something. I have not tried deleting the MacPro from the Sharing Propierties in the MBP and see if the MBP keeps seeking for that server. Will try that later and update here.
Thanks for taking the time, man!

How to uninstall all CS6 apps at once

Hi there
Since the update yesterday to Creative Cloud my InDesign CS6 crashes on startup. In the CC-aqpp I see both the CS6 and CC version. I can't uninstall all CS6 apps at once & make a fresh start with the CC version do I? I can only uninstall the apps individually. And that costs me a lot of time!
Anyone ideas or solutions? Thanks!

Hi Peter,
If CS6 is a suite like Design Standard CS6 then you can uninstall all the apps at once from Control panel>> Uninstall a program in Windows or Applications>> Utilities>> Adobe installers in Mac.
However, if the software's were stand alone then you would need to uninstall all of them once by once from the same locations mentioned above.
Thanks!
