Cannot save in illustrator file reverts back to an earlier save!

I can't seem to save properly in Illustrator.  After I've saved the file when I close it it sometimes opens back up into a earlier saved version of the file.

If on a server: try saving to your desktop, then do an information on the file (Command I on MAC, Right Click properties on PC) to check what time/date this  was saved. Keep an eye on this, as this should  help you troubleshoot what is going on. You may have a server problem that is putting the old file back on.
Check to see if the control panel version Que is on, most people disable this including myself.
If this is just a global color that is reverting, let us know, as that is caused by a different reason.

  • Keynote files revert back to 3.0.2.

    Every time I save my keynote files they revert back to iWork '06 version (3.0.2).
    I've already read "Topic : Keynote 3.03 and 4.01" and it does nothing, I've tried on different files, everything.
    When I try to associate the file with 4.0.2 it recognizes it. The only way it will keep it is if I manually change every file. And if I change or re-save it, I have to do it again. I don't want to do this with every file, every time.
    When I tell it to open all files with 4.0.2 I get this message: "Are you sure you want to change all similar documents to open with the application 'Keynote'? This change will apply to all documents with extention '.key'" When I click contintue - the file reverts back to 3.0.2.
    Now every keynote file I have to manually change, after every time I save it.. - Why is it my default? Where did it come from?
    Tell me how to fix this, please. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Have you tried deleting Keynote version 3 OR renaming version 3 from "Keynote" to "Keynote 3"?

  • Cannot open old Illustrator files (pre version 8) in CS4 trial

    Hi
    I am thinking of upgrading from Illustrator CS2 to CS4. However, I have downloaded the trial version and have found that Illustrator CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8 (pre 2000) whereas Illustrator CS2 had no problem with this. I do not want to resave my old files as there are way too many of them (hundreds!).
    I am running Windows XP.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks

    Exactly what happens when you attempt to open one of these old files in AI 14 (CS4)? (If you get an error message, what does it say?)
    Can you post a sample file up on a server or service and provide the link here? That way, others with AI 14 can test to see whether it's something peculiar to your installation.
    Please also tell us exactly how you are attempting to open the files. (Double-clicking in Explorer? Using File | Open from within Illustrator? Dragging and dropping onto an AI 14 shortcut?)
    >...CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8...
    I find it very difficult to believe AI 14 can open version 8 but not version 7 files. There was no significant change in the native file format.

  • After I edit a raw file in Lightroom 5 and with raw 8.5, the edited files revert back to being unedited. Any ideas?

    I edit them in Lightroom. Then the little symbol appears in the bottom of the thumbnail in the film strip at the bottom of the LR screen. Then, a few minutes later, the symbol is gone. I then click on one or more of the thumbnails and the image opens in the main screen. However, all of the sliders on the right are at their defaults, and the image is back in its unedited state. Last night, for a while, the edits reappeared, but tonight they were gone again. I just recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.5. I wonder if that is the problem.
    What little symbol?  Do you mean the up-arrow symbol that appears top-right of grid or film strip images?  This indicates that the image has been edited by another program.
    Or do you mean the "+/-" symbol that appears bottom right?.  This appears after editing, but if it disappears subsequently without you doing anything, it sounds like something nasty is happening to the catalogue or image xmp file on disk. 
    Lightroom doesn't use ACR (8.5 or any other version) - it has the same functions built-in.  ACR is used only by Photoshop.  Are you opening the images in ACR in Photoshop?

    No. You cannot dowgrade your iPad once you have upgraded iOS.

  • How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

    Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
    I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
    Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
    Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • How can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes?

    I installed the newest version and it took EVERYTHING off my hard drive. A lot of it is crap I don't want on there. Can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes that only has whats on my Ipod? I tried system restore and had no luck. Thanks

    A couple of posts of mine that may help you;

    If your disk was wiped, presumable you will not need to worry about the library as a new blank library will be created.

  • Files reverting back to random saves

    I'm working in Indesign CC. I've worked on a layout over the last several days and have finished several pages on the same document. then suddenly after creating a low-res pdf in acrobat my documnet reverted back to the blank document that it was on March 11 at 10:58 am. I then went to my Time Machine's hourly backup and the documents in all of those backup folders have reverted to March 11 10:58 am as well. So the work is gone on my local disk as well as my backups. How could all the files revert to a past save both locally and on several backup folders all at the same time. and more importantly can it be recovered?

    Are you sure you saved to the same folder?
    If they're gone, they're probably gone for good. I make a habit of periodically saving a new version with a new name, usually each time I'm about to make a major change, or when I start a new editing session, so I have both an easy way to abandon a set of changes and a ready backup path in case of disaster.

  • Have laterst firfox, cannot add ad blockers, just reverts back to download page

    I have the version that is most current as of 8/27/13. I attempted to add the "ad blockers" for web and yahoo email (2 programs). I did check to be certain that Firefox would allow adding programs as suggested in the troubleshooting guide (the config link) and I do not even have the program for adding programs, the line came up blank. I hate all the adds but guess I will live with it?? OH I also made a donation thinking that was an issue.

    Thanks. I had downloaded the 2 mentioned programs from the add ons on Firefox pages. The Adblock Plus says it is loaded so I will assume the problem is solved.

  • Old Illustrator file, revised to new, saved to pdf, reverting back to old Illustrator file

    After making a new Illustrator file from an old one, then saving it as a pdf, the new Illustrator file reverts back to old one. I have been using the pdf to make the Illustrator file again (luckily I've saved it as editable) but I don't always want to add this extra procedure. Does anyone have this issue or any clues on how this happens and how to fix the problem?

    when you made your changes and then saved as, you saved your changes to a new file. your original file closes without saving and the open file in illustrator is the new one (in your case the PDF).
    evertime you save as you are making a new file without affecting the old file.
    you should first save your changes and then save as. but after the save as, the opened file will no longer be the original file.
    if you do a Save As Copy. then you will be saving a new file which will be closed and your original file will remain open.

  • Keynote reverts back to 3.0.2

    Updated my computer today and - all of the sudden all of my keynote files are now associated with 3.0.2 and want me to get iwork 06. I've got iwork 08 and never had version 3.0.2. What happened?
    I've already read "Topic : Keynote 3.03 and 4.01" and it does nothing, I've tried on different files, everything.
    When I try to associate the file with 4.0.2 it recognizes it. The only way it will keep it is if I go under the general and click the "locked" box. I don't want to do this with every file.
    When I tell it to open all files with 4.0.2 I get this message: "Are you sure you want to change all similar documents to open with the application 'Keynote'? This change will apply to all documents with extention '.key'" When I click contintue - the file reverts back to 3.0.2.
    What I really hacked about - I'VE NEVER OWNED 3.0.2. - Why is it my default? Where did it come from?
    Tell me how to fix this, please.

    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Every time I save my keynote files they revert back to iWork '06 version (3.0.2).
    I DON'T EVEN USE THAT VERSION.
    Can I delete it without messing up my computer? THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!!
    Now every keynote file I have to manually change, after every time I save it.

  • Some UTF8 files revert to western encoding when reopened.

    I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, and when I built an application I forgot to ensure that the encoding was set to UTF8.
    I went through all my files and changed the encoding from western european to UTF8. This was fine until I noticed that SOME files revert back to western european encoding when re-opened.
    No matter how many times I change the encoding back ( using ctrl+j and choosing the dropdown in page properties ) and save the files, it STILL reverts back to western when opened.
    This only seems to happen on certain files, and some are fine. I've tried creating a new file in UTF8 and copying the contents of the old one into it. The problem persists so I'm thinking that the file may contain odd characters that are causing Dreamweaver to 'intelligently' change the encoding.
    Any ideas are welcomed. Many thanks.

    I use lots of files that don't have headers, such as PHP includes which include snippets of HTML.
    CS3 seems to look for special characters in the file and IF there are UTF-8 encoded chracters in the file AND it is saved as such, it'll remember that when reopening it. However, if there are NO UTF-8 characters in there and you save it as UTF-8, then CS3 will revert back to another encoding (western or some such...), regardless of the setting in preferences (for files without explicit headers).
    This is a pain because some of my PHP includes may or may not contain Korean characters (multi-language site) and if I do add them, then I need to remember to switch the encoding to UTF-8 manually. It's just annoying that the global preferences, AREN'T!
    I'll be upgrading to CS4 this week so I'll let you know if it's an issue there too.

  • Can I revert back to earlier version???

    I did the January '08 update (1.1.3) and now I am having all sorts of problems. For starters, I have lost Wi-fi and Blue-tooth (greyed out and unaccessible) and I am sure I will find other things wrong after reading some of the forum posts in here. Rather than doing resets, etc. is there a way to revert back to the earlier version I had before the update?
    Thanks,
    JD

    Hey All,
    I did all as instructed in the articles each of you sent to me. I greatly appreciate your taking time to help out. While all other aspects of the phone continued working fine the bluetooth and Wi-fi were still greyed out and unavailable. After talking with Apple tech support (phone was less than 30 days old) they sent me to the nearest Apple store and the phone was replaced with a new (not refurbished) phone without any hassles or debates. I don't know if this is the common experience but I was quite happy with how they treated me. Despite the inconvenience of time lost due to this issue they did respond well and I am still happy with my iphone.
    Thanks again for all your help, you're all great!

  • Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was before.

    Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was
    before. 

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to save the all contacts in Outlook, please follow these steps: -
    By default, when you double-click on a contact in Outlook, the new
    Contact Card displays for that contact. The Contact Card does not contain all the fields from the full contact editing window that opens when you create a new contact.
    The
    Contact Card also displays by default when you search for a contact. You can still open the full contact editing window when editing a contact or when searching for a contact. To switch to your
    Contact folder, click the People link at the bottom of the
    Outlook window or press Ctrl+3.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards
