Cannot link files in illustrator CC, as finder window closes by itself after installing maverick

Hi, After installing Mavericks (Doh!) I can no longer link files in illustrator CC as the finder window closes by itself after one second or if I click on anything. It was happening with save as also, but that seems to have rectified itself by reinstalling the program. Anyone any thoughts? Im in a spot of bother!

theoutset,
There are several threads about Maverick issues just now, such as:

Astute Graphics are working on making VectorScribe compatible with Maverick, http://www.astutegraphics.com/blog/mac-os-mavericks-10-9-compatibility /
It may be worth postponing your use of Maverick until the dust has settled.

  • Problems working with linked files in illustrator

    Hi everyone, i hope you can help me with this doubt that had given me problems since I started using illustrator. I'm using linked files in illustrator because i'm able to modify the files later, as I do in InDesign too, but in both cases I had have a lot of problems with the links, I don't know if i'm doing something bad, but this is what I do: I create a folder where I place my file (illustrator or InDesign) and the files that should be linked. Whit this i'm expecting of it to work like an html where the links works while they are in the folder, no matter if you move the folder, the links keeps working on the HTML.
    But I have noticed that it doesn't work in the same way, because, I had have cases when the links work perfectly, but then i format my computer (Mac) and after that, I open my files againg but the links don't work already. I have exactly the same problem with my coworker, because im trying to edit a file with linked files since the place where it is in the other computer, obviously it opens perfectly there, but in my computer it asked to repair the links, so I select to repair automatically but I ask me to does it manually... So this is getting me tired, because I must repair the links here in my computer to work on it, and when for it get finished, my coworker should repair the links again, and this is going to be always we share files or i format my computer. It is important to mention that my coworker and me use mac with leopard and the same version of adobe (CS4).
    So, as I said before, i dont knoe if my method is incorrect, should I do something different? any option to activate? or program that I should use? because I have herd a lot of Adobe Bridge, I don't know if this could have a option that could help me.
    I hope finally somebody can help me with this doubt, because im sure that I'm not the only one having thie problem.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi. I am also experiencing this very annoying problem. Currently using version CS2, but this problem dates back to version 9.  I check the box to link a tif file, not embed it, in Illustrator. All is well until I save and reopen the file. Suddenly the file is embedded. No other changes have been made to the folders or anything else. It just embeds itself and cannot be linked again.
    So far, I conclude that something in the file itself has corrupted, because it is not possible to place a new file and have it link correctly again. So if I anticipate more changes, I create a new file.
    Notice the upper left corner of the top toolbar. If you click on a file that has embedded itself, the file will be identified as "Group" instead of "linked file."
    I've tried all kinds of things, like trying to ungroup it, trying to release a clipping mask, and so forth, to see what went wrong. Have not figured it out.

  • Detect linked files in Illustrator CS

    Is it possible to script the detection of linked files in Illustrator CS and above and actually get the linked file name to check and see if it is in the same directory for relinking?

  • How to print the files and folders in a finder window?

    A long time ago...There used to be a way to print all the files and folders in a finder window. I haven't been able to do so in a very long time. Is it one of those things no one else needed so they eliminated it? If not, can someone tell me how to do it?

    Or use the scripts here:
    /Library/Scripts/Printing\ Scripts
    build the droplet in AppleScript Editor, and drag the folder on to the droplet.

  • After installing mavericks Finder keeps crashing

    After installing Mavericks I cannot use my Mac as he finder open and reopen continuously. Also in safe mode. I also cleaned the list of apps  starting after login,  but it keeps crashing. No way of solving this through other threads here.
    What can I do.

    I'm having similar problem with my MBP mid 2010 2.4 ghz, 6gb ram.
    In my case every time I point at Share combo box in a file contextual menu i get finder crashed and i have to force quitting.
    Looking at the log I managed to find that 'com.apple.ShareKitHelper' every 15 secs keeps on logging error messages.
    Can anyone give an hand on this?
    Thx

  • Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted.  Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file?  Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

    Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted.  Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file?  Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again?  My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract.  I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

    HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
    If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
    If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X  Mavericks.app"; see this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
    Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

  • Finder window closes as soon as it opens

    I have some recovered data that has been giving me problems.  After copying the folder back to a rebuilt MBP, the finder window closes immediately upon opening that folder.  Any ideas on what exactly is corrupt or forcing this window to close?
    MBP 17, 10.8.2

    I guess if this were happening to me, I would suspect that one or more files in that folder is sufficiently corrupted to kill the Finder.   I would create a new folder and, using Terminal and its mv command, move files one by one into the new folder, testing to see if the original folder can be opened after each step.  Others may have better plans....

  • After installing Mavericks I can't copy music files to an external music server, worked fine before mavericks

    After installing Mavericks, I can't copy or move files to a music server running Vortexbox(Fedora Linux based). I get a cannot perform operation, you do not have permissions for some items. The permission arrow in get info shows I have both read and write permission. I am connecting to the server fine, just can't copy files.

    Hey tamckellar,
    It sounds like you want to move your iTunes Media folder. The following article outlines how to do so:
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    If your hard drive is nearly full after loading all your music and other media into iTunes, or if you just want to move all those music and media files to another hard drive on your system, here's a way to make the move while retaining all your playlists, ratings, and play history.
    Thanks,

  • After installing Mavericks iTunes 11.1.3 does not find my recent iTunes Library. Where did my current library go?

    After installing Mavericks iTunes 11.1.3 does not find my recent iTunes Library. Where did my current library go? The new iTunes opens a 2009 library on start up. My most recent library is ignored even when I go to it directly and start iTunes with it. In another thread someone suggested repairing permissions, I did that and it did not help. I ripped my entire CD collection over the summer (1000's of songs) and now they just don't exist...or I can't find them. They were there before I upgraded to Mavericks the other day. Now vanished. I have found no other issues with Mavericks (yet). Played the music last week; upgraded, now can't find my complete current library. If anyone has a clue as to what might be causing this I sure would like know. Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Hi, sorry to hear you had this problem. Sometimes after updating iTunes the library appears blank because a new library (.itl) file has been created. Anyone else experiencing this issue may be able to resolve by following the steps outlined in TS1967. There is ofter a 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder in the iTunes folder, by quitting iTunes entirely and replacing the currently named iTunes Library.itl file with the library file named by date in the Previous Libraries folder (should look something like 'iTunes Library 2011-08-03') and renaming to 'iTunes library.itl' and relaunching you should find the library looks the same as it did before updating (metadata intact).

  • After installing Mavericks I can no longer save a new word document or pdf by typing the name of the destination folder in the Finder window.  The save button greys out.  Solutions anyone?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • HT3775 Why will QT 10.3 not open my .mov files after installing Mavericks?

    Why do some of my .mov files not open with QT after installing Mavericks?

    Were you using Perian before? I'm not sure about this, but I don't think it does anything in Mavericks as the plug-in API changed. I have no idea how to check if Perian is actually doing anything anymore. The developers have ceased supporting it.
    Try playing in VLC.

    Hi,
    What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
    Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
    In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
    In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
    It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
    If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
    (It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
    An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
    There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.
