"Can't save preview..." messages when saving artwork in Illustrator CS5

Hi!!
I'm having problems when trying to save artwork on Illustrator CS5. I've tried to change fonts, delete fonts , etc... and nothing seems to work. I also tried to save as instead and the problems gets fixed for a while but if I open the same file and make changes and save, the message comes back again....
here are the messages:
The files are not locked or in use. I'm the only one working (on a MAC) on these files.
Please help!!! I don't want my files to get corrupted!!!
THANKS!!!!

Unfortunately I don't have permission to share the file but it is not a particular file. I'm getting the message randomly when I tried to save different files. I don't think is the file but we recently switch servers. We had a mac server now we have a pc server. Do you think that might be the problem? We work from the server and save everything in there. The other designers that I work with are getting similar messages.
The files are not locked or the folder, I tried to save it from a new document and it works, but later on the problem comes back.
Question: Should I delete the whole "Adobe CS5 Illustrator Settings" folder, I was not sure if you meant that there is a folder inside named settings?
Thanks you for your help!!!

  • Can I save different preferences with different workspaces in illustrator CS5?

    Greetings,
    I am wondering if I can save different preferences through workspaces?  Or if this cannot be done I was wondering if it is possible to script a particular set of preferences for a computer.  The purpose would be to make certain all preferences are set identically on each computer.  Does anyone have any experience with this?
    Brian

    I would save it as EPS (version Illustrator 3). This should be compatible to almost any  software that takes EPS.

  • Pop up message when saving document with document set

    Hi
    I want to display a pop up message when a user saves a document of a particular Content Type in a document set.
    How can this be done ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to pop up a message when saving document.
    To achieve it, you should custom the edit form page.
    You can use the SharePoint Designer
    to customize the behavior of the "save" button.
    You should add the "onclick" method to the submit button, and put your JavaScript there.

    You can also use the event receiver, when the files have been uploaded or edited to call the event receiver to open a pop up dialog.

  • Error message when saving a PDF to PNG: Error attempting to write file.

    I get an error message when saving a PDF to PNG. JPG and TIFF works, but no PNG.

    A few weeks ago it was no problem to save as PNG. But now! (Perhaps from last update?)

    I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.

    How do I save "Sent" messages when sending from the ipad2?

    By default sent items should be saved in your Sent folder. For IMAP type accounts you should be able to change that by selecting the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then selecting 'Account' on the popup for it and then 'Advanced' at the bottom of the next popup

    How can I remove "unread messages" when I know I do not have any?

    Hit the num lock button again. Num lock forces only the numeric keypad underlying keys to work as a  numeric keypad, and the rest of the keyboard won't work.  Unfortunately Apple stopped including the numeric keypad hidden keyboard key labels on its keyboards.  They used to include them.  They are known as mouse keys: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/cdb_moskys.html

  • How do I get past, "Can't save preferences message" in PS CS6?

    Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.

    Thanks for showing an interest… But!
         I have tried all the regular stuff. This problem only showed up in OSX Lion. Up till then all was well at Snow Leopard and Adobe CS5.5 Suite. After upgrading to OSX Lion all Hell broke loose. Quite a catastrophe of conflicts. In Design wouldn’t launch. A problem with Suitcase Fusion 4. But PS CS6 had two major problems. One the Epson Artisan 835 could not be seen in Imports. A conflict between 32 and 64 bit formats and again, drivers. But the most persistent and perplexing problem has been that of the preferences. Oh and one other thing, whenever you quit the program, PS CS6, a message appears saying that the program has quit for no good reason and did I want to send a report to Adobe and/or Mac. Well I must have sent them a thousand reports. What I most suspect is file damage and incompatibility. What I have tried has not found the files to replace those that will reset themselves. i.e. .plst etc. without buggering up the works. I have tried to figure out what might have caused such changes between Snow and Lion other than the well known differences regarding supported stuff, formats and out of date software i.e. Rosetta. Some how or other I suspect damaged files. The kind of damage where a single character is missing and nothing works but no file checker in the world can detect as screwing up the works. Now in several cases a lot of re-installation has been done. But again no help. So putting a finger on the culprit file(s) has not been easy. Fortunately this machine has four active drives so reverting back to where all was OK is easy. But as for going forward, well that is at a standstill.
        So, if any body out there has any insight to these three problems I would be most interested to see what you got.
    Many Thanks

    You cannot, unless you are trying to use the Personal Hotspot on the phone for an internet connection on the MacBook. The devices do not connect via Bluetooth for anything else.

      You probably will have to use software and a cable to hook up to the phone and run to be able to do that. I have a couple of Samsung basic phones before, and the only way I could do it was to use DataViz? software before? I think that is the name of it?

  • RAW Images Alter When Saved After Processing in CS5 Camera RAW?

    Hi,
    I am currently experiencing a problem in Photoshop CS5, where after processing a CR2 RAW image file in Camera RAW, whether I then decide to open the image straight into CS5, or save as a jpeg or tiff file, the image completely alters from what I was previously seeing in the Camera RAW window?
    The saved jpeg/tiff, or image now shown in CS5 is now very tinted, where objects that were perfectly white in the Camera RAW window are now a dirty yellow colour.
    I was just wondering if there was any advice any of you could give me as to what the problem might be?
    I have made sure that both CS5 and the Camera RAW window are both set to sRGB, but it has had no effect on the problem.
    Thank you in advance for any help

    I recently loaded OSX mavericks on my Imac. I now find I cannot open any Adobe products from CS5. The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

    This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
    I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked  OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!

  • Error message when saving to a:\ drive when no disk present

    I am using a Jfilechooser andsaving images using ImageIO, but I want add in the code necessary to display an error message when the user tries to save to the a:\ drive but there is no disk present. How would I do this, this is the code so far:
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    chooser.setApproveButtonMnemonic('a');
    chooser.setApproveButtonText("Save");
    // create a file chooser with save dialog
    int returnVal = chooser.showSaveDialog(c);
    // If the user selects ok
    if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    // Get the file the user selected
    File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
    / Get the name of the selected file
    String name = file.getName();
         // Set the format name to null
    String formatName = null;
    // Get the index number of when the . occurs in the file name
    int dot = name.indexOf(".");
         try {
         if(dot == -1) {
         file = new File(file.getParentFile(),
    name + "." + defaultExtension);
         formatName = defaultExtension;
         else {
    // else get the format name using a substring.
         formatName = name.substring(dot+1);
         // If the image cannot be saved, display an error message.
         if(!ImageIO.write(bi, formatName, file)) {
         file.delete();
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(c,
         "The image could not be saved. Please ensure that the extension is .jpg or .png",
         "Image save failed",
         JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
         else {          // The image can be saved, so display a confirmation message
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(c,
         "The image has been saved to:\n"+
         file.getPath(),
         "Image Saved",
         JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
         catch(IOException e) {               // Display an error message if save fails.
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(c,
         "The image could not be saved, no space on disk!!\n" + e,
         "Image save failure",
         JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

    Again I have tried this, but in my program if I try to save to the a drive when no disk is inserted, the JOptionPane i want to display is not coming up.
    the system prints out
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: A:\image.jpg <The device is not ready>
    If that makes any sense to you

  • "This file cannot be found" error message when saving document

    Hello,
    Strangely, every time I click "save" in CS6 it opens up a 'Save As' window, (which shouldn't happen), then I click save witht the existing file name (it then tells me the doc already exists), I click OK, (and then OK to the next popup window) then get the message that "This file cannot be found".  I'm forced to click "ok" and the doument isn't saved.  I've tried saving it differently in previous versions and it still doesn't work.  I recorded a video of this behavior. You can see it here - http://screencast.com/t/W1GYK0zsrk 
    Why would it be trying to find a file?  It seems like an error message when trying to Open a doc, not Save a doc.
    Please HELP!!  I can't shutdown my station until I get the document to save.

    Yes, Mohit1233 - it happened with every file yesterday. Finally, I closed the doc (forcing me to lose my work), then restarted my computer and today the problem is gone. I'm working on a PC (HP);
    Barblove - I tried doing that yesterday (copying and pasting into a new doc), and still nothing. I also tried copying the work into a CS3 doc (but got an error message).

  • Strange error message when saving Photoshop CS5 files

    Once in awhile, and only with some files, I get the following pop-up message when I save an image that I've been editing in Photoshop CS5:
    "The disk copy of <filename> was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?"
    Unless I'm missing something, this is the most idiotic message I've ever seen. OF COURSE I want to save it. And why? Because the file has changed.
    Can anyone tell me why this message pops up and whether I need to do anything about it?
    Thanks!

    The details shouldn't really matter. But OK: I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a 2010 iMac 3.06GHz i3 with 8GB of RAM and OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 installed. I save my files the old-fashioned way: Command-S.
    I've been using Photoshop since version 1.0 and have never seen this message before. An explanation would be appreciated.
