Can't save my illustrator files. I keep getting "unknown error" message. Using version 6 on a macbook pro. OSX 10.9.5

42nato,
You may try the list (skip 5) in this case).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Just recently on my IPad I can't update my App. I keep getting the error message "invalid Address" what is going on?

Just recently on my IPad I can’t update my App. I keep getting the error message “invalid Address” what is going on?

There are a number of threads about this - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
putting apartment or suite number on the second address line

HT1414 Iphone 3G restarts right in the middle of restore so I keep getting unknown error message.

Hey everyone, I have an old school Iphone 3G, it restarts itself right in the middle of a restoration so I keep getting unknown error message. I don't know why but no matter what usb port I plug it into, the white bar underneat the Apple logo on the iphone will get right close to the end but then like I stated earlier the phone restarts randomly, so it won't let me restore the product because it keeps getting reset by itself.
please help me

Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
But thanks again

How can I update my itunes when I keep getting an error message saying the network path is not available

I am trying to update my itunes to 11.0.1, I can download it but when I install I keep getting an error message that states: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again or enter an altenate path to a folder containing the installation packagr itunes64.msi* in the box below. use source: C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\
Nothing helps? what do I need to do?

The servers are getting slammed by millions of people wanting to upgrade.. just give it some time, and soon enough you'll have your upgrade.

What does it mean when you can't burn a CD because you keep getting the error message with -3?

I have gone through a dozen CDs, trying to burn a playlist, and keep getting the error message that the burn is cancelled due to -3......
Is this due to a problem with the CD burner or with a bad batch of CDs?

It may be a DNS issue. Where you would normally type "flylady.net"... just enter 208.87.85.216 instead. This is the actual address for the site. When you enter a website by name, it gets the actual address from a DNS server. There are tons of DNS servers out there and others who are getting to the site may use a different one. Just enter the numbers as shown (no "HTTP:", etc... just the numbers) and see if it works.

I keep getting drop down messages about updates for my MacBook Pro. These have to do with iphoto, updates that I could care less about. How do I keep these from popping up, with out taking the update. The drop down is very frustrating.

I keep getting drop down reminders about updates to my MacBook Pro. The up dates concern digital camera and iphoto, none of which I want. Is their a way to keep these intermittent drop downs from appearing, or do I have to contend with this interruption until I down load the update?

Where are the drop down reminders appearing? All I get is a number showing up on the App Store dock icon.
You are probably going to have to either update the software or remove it from your computer.

Can I import CS5 Illustrator files that were created in CS5 for Windows to CC on MacBook Pro?

I have some logo designs that were done in Illustrator CS5 on a PC. Can those files be imported into
CC Illustrator on MacBook Pro or will I need to recreate or perhaps import into CS6 first?

... but be careful about fonts.
In case you used PC PostScript fonts, you'll need those in Mac versions.
Other font formats than OpenType might also cause trouble with special characters.
With logos you might want to convert type to outlines before moving the files to the Mac. You won't be able to edit the text then.

I-tunes won't save my library and I keep getting an error message

TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

You might have two different things going on at once here.
Starting with the registry settings message.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

Hello,
Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem-.thanks

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

I can't open itunes on my HP laptop. I keep getting the error message " You don't have the proper permissions to open this file".

Hello-
I can't open itunes on my HP laptop that uses Windows 7. I keep getting the error message "you don't have the proper permissions to open this file". I removed all Apple downloads and reinstalled itunes 10.6.3 windows 64-bit numerous times, but I still get the same error message. Please help.

Just want to add that after hours of searching and following every different blog on this issue, iTunes/apple you have lost my vote. What a joke...!
