CS3 when saving message "an unknown error has occurred"

In illustrator CS3 when trying to saving the message "an unknown error has occurred" pops up. The only way I can get a file to save is saving it as an template. I've tried reinstalling and removing the preferences. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

AArrrrrrrggghhh!!!!!!! phew.. sorry.
I have the same problem and I have come to a schtuck. The problem began out of the blue in my illustrator CS2 which was working fine before, so I upgraded to CS3, and the problem is still there, I have tried removing the preferences, I have uninstalled all versions of illustrator including preferences from the PC and reinstalled only CS3 brand new straight out the box. Still won't save.
Any ideas anyone?
I think it's ridiculous that we have paid £2000 for the New CS3 master collection and it doesn't work properly! how can adobe release software with a problem so big as this and charge so much for it? My boss rang adobe yesterday to ask for help and after a long while of not getting anywhere the adobe guy he was speaking to said 'I've had enough of you' and hung up the phone!!! What is that all about? we are legitimate paying customers of adobe for the last 10 years or more! I have now missed a big deadline because of this and am in a mind to asassinate someone at adobe! hahahaha.
Sorry to rant guys but come on adobe! sort it out!
Anyway,
If ANYONE has an aswer or an idea of how I can fix this problem and get back to work I would be very grateful.
some info about my project incase it helps:
I am using CS3 master collection freshly installed on a Dell precision 650 PC with intel xeron processor, XP operating system, 37.6GB free hard disk space, 2 Megs of ram, Nivida Graphics card.
My Illustrator project is a 0.5x2 metre banner made up of a large number of collaged Hi resolution JPEG photographic images. The only composition I have used is Opacity masks with feather effects.
There is no text in the project and no other elements apart from the masked and feathered images.
the original images are stored on an external hard drive with loads of free space on it.
Any ideas I would be very grateful, as I said I have already tried deleting the illustrator settings and preferences files, and re-installed CS3 to no avail.
Thanks! Beth

    Make sure you have the correct country selected. Click the round flag icon bottom right side of the App Store window.

  • I got "Invalid link" when I to reset my security questions from rescue email. Moreover when I log in into my Apple ID and click on Passwords and Security I'm thrown out with the message "An unknown error has occurred".

    Here is my problem:
    Need to change my email with the one that currently I'm using for rescue
    Planed to change first the rescue email with a new one.
    But:
    I Forgot the security questions
    Followed the reset security questions instructions.
    Got the email on the rescue address but The link I've got on my rescue email to reset my security questions is invalid. By now the 3 hour window for the validity of the link is gone.
    If I go via Apple ID, I login successfully but when I select Security I'm thrown back into Manage your Apple ID screen that displays now as well this message "An unknown error has occurred"
    Tried several times, the same again and again.
    On top of the long hours on the forums I spent 20 minutes over the phone with the US support on  international charge, eventually I hanged up while waiting too long for the 3 rd expert but got an email later on indicating to clear my browser history and try again, which didn't work. Case number 519598448. Used my laptop with IE and my iPad, same result.

    This problem now appears for me too.
    When using iforgot.apple.com email-verification clicking the reset link results in the "Invalid Link" error.
    The error, that caused me to do this (password failing to verify against iCloud) has vanished since though.

    Any idea why I can't purchase stuff off either iTunes or AppStore? I am getting a message saying unknown error has occurred immediately I enter my password.

    Brett,
    Well done getting the wireless network secured.
    You have to precede the (hex) password with a '$' in Mac OS, to tell the Internet Connect dialog box that you are keying a hex password (rather than ASCII). This is because the Mac has detected that the network is WEP protected, and leaves it to you to decide how you want to key the password.
    As an alternative, in Internet Connect (or from the AirPort icon menu), you can elect to join an "Other" network. If you select your network again, it'll come up with "WEP Password" as the option of Wireless Security. You can change this to "WEP 40/128-bit hex" and then not have to precede your password with the '$'.
    Alternatively, you could tell us the make and model of your wireless router and we can tell you how to set, and use an ASCII password. From your 10-character hex password, we can see that you're using 40/64-bit WEP. Non-Apple routers can be a bit fussy when using ASCII passwords with 40-bit WEP (don't worry, this is also true for Windows PC's using 40-bit WEP too), but we can talk you through it.
    As a final alternative, as you have such a whizzy Mac, as long as your wireless router supports it, you could use WPA security, and never have to worry about ASCII / hex / '$', etc. Older Macs (particularly original AirPort cards - not AirPort Extreme - and OS9) were limited to 40-bit WEP.

    Go to Start -- Accessories -- Command Prompt, make right click and choose run as administrator
    Type this command : netsh winsock reset
    then restart your computer, everything should be ok after this. Good Luck.

  • Unable to log on with apple ID - error message "an unknown error has occurred"

    When I try and log on to apple website using my apple ID, I get an error message saying "an unknown error has occurred".  How can I fix this?
    I've changed my password several times and was able to successfully make a purchase from Itunes using new password, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    For whatever reason, I can now log in to the apps store with one of  my ids. It says my other account no longer exists so I can not update pages and numbers. It will not let me rebuy these programs under the working account because my computer recognizes that I bought them before.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
