Cant save as AI but can as PDF

Using PC Windows XP Service Pack 3; CS5 Illustrator 15.1.0, 2gb Ram, 50gb Free HD space.
Opening an AI file sent from Japan, not sure of its PC or MAC (is there a way to find out).
All fonts are as outlines, images embedded.
After making a few simple changes (to the artboard, and turning off a layer with crops on) we find we then cant save the AI file, error along the lines of 'saving encountered a problem' we can replicate and post that error if needs be.
We are also trying to place a .PSD file whilst the original is in AI format, but we get memory errors, our Memory and available HD space all check out OK in Windows Task Manager as OK.
The workaround has been to save as a PDF, checking the 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' in the Options dialogue - the file then saves and allows us to then work away as normal, saving at the end.
I also want to know if an 'Illustrator editable' PDF, with JPEG compression turned on for Images, do the images degrade (ie are read in, sampled and JPEG compressed) each time a PDF is opened and resaved.

1)Run the action called "Delete Unused Items"
2) Selct all, copy and paste into a new document
3) save as with PDF compatible off
Whether the image degrades depends on the settings of the PDF. Obviously if you go form high to low quality, they will degrade. Even if you save with the same compression level the image degrades.That amount is very small at max quality and you won't even notice the difference. Do for example 50 saves at low quality and you will notice a difference in images between original and final. The amount depends on resolution and type of image also play into the amount of loss (Hairlines - vs- fields of color, edges). A soft cloudy sky for exampel does not degrades as much as a shot of the golden gate bridge.

  • Cant send e mail but can receive hotmail

    cant send e mail but can receive email on ipad2 from hotmail....problem with ourgoing???

    Dear All,
    Thought that I'd report in.  My firewall is not on, so that can't be the problem.
    I went into my mail settings and re-entered passwords, account info, unselected SSL, then selected it again, entered custom ports, etc., etc., and was able to get mail to send, but no information seems to be stored and there doesn't seem to be any way to save any changes that are made.  There was always a box that came up and asked if you wanted to save changes, but I can't find it now.  If you shut mail down and start it up again, the same old problem occurs.
    I also have two smtp servers and it seems that if one is working, the other doesn't. If outbound.att.net is working and shows green, then smtp.att.yahoo.com is red.  If smtp.att.yahoo.com is green, then outbound.att.net is red.  Occasionally they will both be green, but neither one sends any mail.  Strange!
    Also, Connection Doctor shows a red light for no connection when my mail just swooshed out of the mailbox!  It really is working, but Connection Doctor doesn't show a connection.  And, when the light is green and a connection is made, the mail still doesn't leave the box.
    It still takes a long time to send anything, but I was able to send about five test messages tonight.  I'm still waiting for a fix from Apple.

  • Why cant i send emails but can receive them fine? im running snow leopard 10.6.8??

    im running Software 10.6.8 and recently i cant send emails but can receive them fine? bit annoying as need to send important things or reply to emails but cant via IMail ??

    ginavee, as I stated in my earlier post, we've no idea what settings you need to enter in your Mail account preferences.  You'll have to go to your service provider's web site and see if they provide it in a support section there.  For example, if you use Comcast as your service provider, the Comcast web site will have information on how to set up Apple's Mail program.  You'll need, of course, your email account name and password.
    You may be able to determine your Mail settings by looking at your iPad's Mail settings if you're able to send and receive email from that device.

    so this weekend i was on the my iphone 4s making a call then i pu tmy phone down i picked it up a few minutes later to check the time and i cant see my screen anymore its either just black or it flashes white and has lines through it i didnt drop my phone so theres no outer damage at all i can still use the digitizer and everything works fine it just seems the lcd has stopped working ive tried hard restart restoring my phone to factory settings and everythign else i could think of but nothing works i have a repair request set up waiting for apple to send me the packaging to mail them my phone just wondering if the apple one year warranty covers lcd failure as it was not my fault and i just bought the phone brand new 2 months ago

    If there are no signs of abuse then they should determine it is a hardware fault and replace it free under warranty.

  • WRT54GS Cant connect to IE but can connect to Firefox

    I recently change from DSL to Broadband through Comcast and I cant get on IE. I can get on IE when I directly connect my cable modem to my computer but when I connect my cable modem to my WRT54GS it wont connect to IE but I can get on Firefox. I work at home so I need IE to work. By the way Im using a wired connection.

    Go to Solution.

    Make sure proxy settings are disabled in IE. You don't need them with a cable Internet connection.

  • Cant save as a .jpeg from a .pdf in acrobat X

    Simple as the title reads. I go to save as a jpeg and save it into a file and it never appears. Don't ever receive and error code or anything.
    Thanks

    Hey burn5860,
    Are you using the update version of Acrobat X?
    Have you tried saving any other PDF file to JPG?
    You might need to try 'Repair Acrobat Installation' from the Help menu.

  • Cant control remote computer, but can control others with same machine

    I have an old G4 that I recently upgraded processors on, as such upgraded hard drives, and OS to Tiger. I can control my other 2 macs on my network fine, but they cannot control the G4. I have the same settings as the other macs for sharing and port forwarding on my routers. But still no luck, another quirk, I can wake the G4 with the other Macs, but still unable to control. Anything I am overlooking?

    which version of Apple Remote Desktop are you using, and do you have licenses for all the machines from which you try to control others?

  • I would like to combine toolbars to save screen space, but can't. Why? Can do so in IE8 without problems. Thanks.

    I use 3-4 different toolbars for different things. In IE8 I can move them around so they are next to each other on the same line. This saves space and makes the browsing space bigger. I can't do this in FF3.6.10. Is there a way to override this? Thanks.

    Not having the flexibilty to move toolbars to be next to each other is better?
    The individual items on my installed toolbars don't move, and I can't place 2 toolbars (both of which are short) next to each other, so I have to have them stuck below each other which looks odd and wastes space.
    And that's better?
    Not sure how you worked that out.
    No matter, it doesn't work and that's all I need to know.

  • Cant create email account but can with windows live mail

    I have an email account that thunderbird just wont create I have contacted my isp and have all the settings correct but everytime i get a message saying. Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account. but on my other email account with charter thunderbird set it up just fine. but when i used the settings to set up the email account in windows live mail it worked. My isp told me its a problem with thrunderbird. can someone help me please.

    Not a problem with Thunderbird, a problem with your anti virus blocking Thunderbird from accessing the internet.
    the configuration for charter is here https://autoconfig.thunderbird.net/v1.1/charter.net
    If Thunderbird can not find it, it is because it can not connect.
    Check the firewall component of the anri virus and make sure Thunderbird has full access to the internet.

  • Updated, now cant vnc/screen share but can ssh

    Brand new snow leopard server install. Did some light updating of settings (modified hostname enabled services) and the initial system update to 10.6.4. Restarted and now I CAN SSH to the machine but i CANNOT vnc/screen share to it... it just times out fails to connect and says to make sure that screen sharing is enabled.
    Tried the suggestions in this doc but no luck

    Anyone experience the same? Any tips? Thanks in advance
    Edit: I noticed other services are down like web as I had a default page loading before via ip in browser, not sure how to get back into VNC/Screen share to start up and check services
    Tried ipfw set disable and ipfw list to see if 5900 was being blocked and it didnt work.

    Roman,
    I know this is probably a no brainer, have you repaired permissions since you updated to Server 10.6.4?
    I have been fussing with a mac mini server for the last month, its is my 1st mac based server and set up is so simple its hard if you know what I mean. In any case my RAD was working and i have been using it over the last week rather then sitting in a cramped corner where the old makeshift server is still being used. After I updated to 6.4 i ran permissions and noticed a warning on my SUID for remote management, thought nothing of it since it was still working. started up VPN now remote is dead so your not alone on this. /kickstart did not work for me either. If you haven't run permissions check them see it it helps and see if you have this line as well.
    "Warning: SUID file 'System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent' has been modified and will not be repaired."
    I got this error immediatly after running repairs after the upgrade. also i have this same error on my laptop running 10.6.4 (non server ed.) so it looks like a bug on apples end
