Can't save as eps; Error ID = -61

Working on Mac, Leopard. In Illustrator CS5.1, when I go to save a new file as an eps, I get the error message:
Can't save some resource data, but the artowrk was saved successfully. The file is locked. Use the Get Info command in the Finder to unlock the file. ID = -61
Well, since it's a new document, I can't Get Info, so I can't imagine how the file is locked. When I try a second time to save, it lets me. What gives?
Thanks!

Wow. That was very interesting.
I wonder if this is what is causing problems with PDFs we create (saving to our server) from CS5.5 applications; intermittently, when we email these PDFs, some recipients cannot open the files. The workaround Adobe suggested was to open the file (on the server) in Acrobat and resave over the original. So far, that has worked. But that's all done to files on the server, so maybe this is not related? (sorry, just thinking out loud).
Thanks for the help!

  • Illustrator CS4 - "Can't save illustration." Error

    While working on a website mockup I ran into a rather worrisome error - "Can't save illustration."
    I can export as .png, .jpg but cannot "Save" or "Save As" regardless of the file type.
    The particular document/file contains 1 graphic made in Photoshop and a few downloaded vectors, but removing those particular items does not seem to help.
    I read that the error can be caused by fonts so I changed all fonts to Arial(standard system font), and even tried changing type to outlines.. again, nothing helped.
    I've also tried copy/pasting everything to a new document to no avail.
    All content is on single layer, if it matters.
    My system(osx 10.8.5) is running on little available memory, but even removing what I would assume to be the more taxing files doesn't help - the "Can't save illustration." error persists. Needless to say, I'm very worried.
    Any thoughts/ideas on how to remedy this problem?

    Tried printing to PostScript file (did not see specifically PDF printer), and received an error stating there was not enough memory, or object too complex. I tried reducing the object and artboard to 1/4 it's original size, problem persists.

    If you're getting that one on iTunes 7.3.0.54, try an upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1.3. (Note that Michael, who replied to you earlier in the thread, is reporting that here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4923385#4923385 )
    Here's a link to the new installer:

  • Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

    I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later".  How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

    All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
    For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
    But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
    I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
    When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.

  • Can't Save on palm error message

    I will apologize in advance if i am not posting this in the correct section, i couldn't find a section that seemed to fit my question. I use a tungsten E2 palm I synched the palm and what i synched was excel files.  I was able to enter my information into the palm excel file however when i went to save the edits to the excel file i got a message on the pam "An unexpected error occured! Error number 0x07371BFF"  Does any one know why i can't save new info entered into excel file on palm?
    thanks in advance for anyone who helps Jenn
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Most Docs To Go errors can be fixed by reinstalling the Palm components for the program.
    Open the computer client of Docs To Go on your PC, then go up to Tools/Reinstall Palm programs.  Hotsync, then try the task again.

  • Can't save from editor; error message

    I use Windows and have Elements 5.
    Every time I try to save an edited photo I get an error message that reads, "Problem accessing Organizer Catalog. It may be in use by another process or disk error occurred."
    I can't save any edits.
    Thank you!
    Sharon

    Try repairing the catalog through File->Catalog->repair.In case you uncheck the options to include the edited image in organizer and don't form the version set then also are you getting the error.

  • Ds4  can't save files.  Error message: while executing onload in_opOpen.htm

    All of a sudden I'm getting this error message. I can view files and create files but can no longer save files.
    If I try to save a file, I get the following message:
    Full text of message: While executing onLoad in_opOpen.htm, the following Javascript error(s) occurred: In file "_opOpen": onOpen is not defined
    If I click ok in the alert,
    The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
    ASP.html has configuration information that is invalid.
    Data.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
    ICERegionals.htm has configuration information that is invalid
    Not sure how these were corrupted. How do I fix this problem? The resolutions I've found on line are not working.An example: delete the file called ‘WinFileCache-[random numbers].dat’.. That did not work. I'm using Windows 7 Professional.

    If you've already tried clearing the cache file and personal config folder: Deleting a corrupted cache file
    A good next step would be restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6

  • Can't save a file; error message says file couldn't be opened

    Using Pages '09 ver. 4.3 and OSX 10.8.4
    When I try to save a new document in pages, I get an error message that says "the file 'xxxx.pages-tef" couldn't be opened. 
    How can I fix this so that I can start saving files again?

    Pages 5.2 Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Start Pages app
    Create a blank document
    File > Save or <Command>+S
    Select Mac Device and find your user folder or favorite, Desktop (not iCloud)
    Error: the file "Untitled.pages" couldn't be opened!?!
    Repeat giving the document a different name and it works
    Since when do we write error messages with "n't"?
    Usually a well written error message offers a suggestion as to what you might do about it?
    Since it says opened and I clicked on Save, there is a bug in there somewhere.
    All I was trying to do today was copy and paste some text from a website into numbers spreadsheet
    Both Edit > Paste options but the text in one cell so I tried to save it as a text file first to try and import the data
    Text Edit does not have a text only export format so before loading Terminal and starting vi or emacs, I tried pages. I'll go try XCode's editor or my Windows 7 vm with notepad and openoffice
    I miss the old Pages with the Appleworks importer, this one needs more Quality Assurance Testing IMHO

  • Suddenly can't save project, getting error message. VERY FRUSTRATING!!

    I've been working on a project for a client over the last couple of weeks and is nearing completion. Everything was working great, when suddenly I tried saving and I got the error message:
    "An error occurred. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate."
    Please help, this is very aggravating!
    If I have to restart or can't get this problem fixed soon, I won't make the deadline for my client.
    I am willing to send the project file to anyone who feels they can help.

    Your project is broken on Edge Animate CC (2.0.1).  You can try clearing your preferences to see if that clears it up for you:

  • Can't save iTunes library error (-50) (Windows 7)

    Hello, everyone!
    I need to transfer my iTunes library from PC to Mac, unfortunately i can't copy&paste folders from iTunesMedia because my music allocates in different folders on my drive. I tried " File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Consolidate files ", it had copied only half of my music when error (-50) appeared. I checked .TMP files in Downloads, but there is no any and all downloads complete (Store->Check for available downloads). Firewalls, browsers and antivirus are closed.
    Can anyone suggest the way to fix "error(-50)" problem, please? or different way to transfer my library to Mac...
    Thank you for looking.

    I get the following error when I am importing from a retail CD:the itunes music library file cannot be saved. an unknown error occurred (-54)
    Although all info appears in iTunes fields (name, title, artist,etc, when I attempt to burn, it only burnes TRACK 01, etc with not actual library detail.
    I have moved itunes libary and itunes music library.xml out of iTunes folder and reimported the files, but still have the same problem.
    Running disk utility (repair permissions) from install CD gives error that it lost connection to manager and never completes the process. Disk repair run shows OK.
    any other suggestions?

  • Can't save illustrator cs3

    I can't save illustrator CS3 in my Toshiba Satellite laptop P4(M) 1.7 GHz with memory 1.5GB under Window XP Service Park 2 (Home Addition) and alot of HD free space. When I save CS3, can't save illustrator CS3 error massage dialog box appear. Follow are I can read from that error massage window.

    Mmh, yeah, sounds familiar but for the life of it I cannot reme,ber the solution. I believe it's documented in the knowledgebase on the support pages and hinges on some VersionCue stuff being wrong. Other than that I could only imagine Acrobat Quick Launcher or Windows own preview generating functions having a hold of the file, when you save it as PDF compatible...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I need to be able to save this file so I can complete the job.

  • "Can't Save the File. Can't Print the File" error in Illustrato CS3

    I get the error "CAN'T SAVE THE FILE. CAN'T PRINT THE FILE". In Illustrator CS3
    According to adobe this is an issue of having more that 28 spot colors, so I went to the swatch palette and pulled the fly-out menu out and told it to remove any unused swatches which took me down to 6 spot colors, but I still get the error when trying to save it to EPS format, which is the format I have to have for the ripping program for the vinyl printer in my sign shop. Saving it in AI format causes no issues.
    Is there still something I am missing?
    Thanks

    I appreciate your comment, I see what your saying.
    However...my issue is...I am making a vehicle wrap on a full size van for a radio station and it consist of pictures of a clouds for the background with two pictures of music artist that are associated with the kind of music this station plays, then there is a big round logo of the radio station that involves three spot colors (Purple, white and one of which is technically the black "K" ribbon) along with the web address of the station but it is of the same colors of the radio station logo...then there is the corporate logo that utilizes another spot color (blue)so as you can see I need the spot colors that I'm using.
    So just to make sure I'm clear...I can only have 28 different individual colors, even though I have photos involved in the rendering? How can I make that work because photos obviously have more than 28 colors in them. It doesn't make sense because you can do a live trace on something in literally hundreds of colors.
    Would it help if I flattened the photo work from photoshop before I move it to Illustrator? The reason I ask is because when I go to save and choose EPS the next save dialogue that comes up...down at the bottom there is two exclamations that one says something about embedding fonts, which I'm not concerned about and the other is something about there is some artwork that needs flattening.
    Please bear with me here cause I am definitely a newbie!! My boss threw to the wolves on this adventure and I am learning by reading and trial and error.
    Thanks
