CS4 - Project opens, but crashes during save

Adobe Premiere CS4 running on Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.3
So I've been working with the same Premiere CS4 project file for awhile now, and I've hit a pretty big dead end that I really need some help with: Whenever I save the project (File>Save Project), I get the progress bar that says "saving project", but it locks up half way, and gives me the spinning rainbow wheel of death. I am forced to quit the application. My changes do not save.
I get the same behavior when I try to workaround the problem: Save as, Save a copy... Importing sequences into a new project as well. Occasionally after crashing Premiere in these manners I have to restart for it to load up again.
I am using images and 1 video from iStock in my project. I first saw the strange behavior when I tried to put an iStock image jpeg into the timeline. It showed no preview for it. There was nothing about the image, technically speaking, that I think would cause such a problem.
I don't get it because the project opens with no problem. I can even work in it... just can't save. Any help?

I'm running OS X 10.6.3

The source material I am using includes jpegs from iStock, video from iStock, psds I create myself (usually flattened). I have also done some simple animation in After Effects (CS4) also from Master Collection. I imported a composition in from AE that matched my presets. I felt that was the most risky thing I've done in this project, but the point in time at which everything started to fail was when I imported a handful of iStock jpegs. I was having trouble getting one of them to preview in the source monitor. Details on that one here from getting its properties in the Project panel.

Notice the dimensions are incorrect. Premiere has since locked up from me getting these properties. The actual dimensions of this image are 585 × 821. This is really the only clue I have so far.
The other thing I should also note is regarding the AE composition that I imported. It had some effects on it that could not be interpreted. Premiere tells me this when I open the project up: This hasn't caused me a problem yet that I know of, because I've gone a couple days with it.

All adobe programs open but crash on the splash screen MAC??

just wiped my hard drive clean today and was reinstalling the programs directly from the website since I already have an adobe cc account.
All the ones I installed today: Dreamweaver, Flash, Premier, Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign will open but crash immediately on the splash screen.

Safari opens but crashes when loading any page

I recently upgraded to Safari 6.0 (7536.25) on Lion 10.7.4. Now Safari opens but crashes as soon as I try to load a page. I've tried most of the fixes that I could find in the recent posts:
different pages to be sure it isn't page specific
disabled all extensions
renamed the extension folder so it wouldn't be accessible (even though all were disabled)I noticed that Safari recreated the folder still with all extensions disabled but just in case I clicked the Off switch at the top of the Extension list
renamed cache.db to get a new one
renamed webpageicons.db
Reinstalled Safari from the link in one of the forum posts
Please help!

Finder crashes during save functions

There is a serious bug when I try to save or open a file during a browser or photoshop (basically any application) session. I cannot keep the window open, the window closes un-announced, (crash).
Result: I cannot save or open files effectively.
THIS happened Immediately after I upgraded to Mavericks OSX.
NOT GOOD.

I'm having the same issue with an I7 MBP and a 11" Macbook AIr, both mid 2012 models and both recently upgraded to OSX 10.9 Both Mac's have SDD's. The issue happens on almost all applications but especially on FCPX, Motion, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC. It almost seems as though the finder is losing connection with the direcotory and so the flle menu closes. Sometimes the FIle menu closes within a second, sometimes you think it worked and just as you get to your file/ folder it closes before you can perform an open / save action, arrgghhh!!!
This issue is now causing me major problems as it's slowing down my work flow, sometimes taking 20 attempts (as it just had in Photoshop), to perform a save.
I have spotted a post on Autodesks help pages that mentions a similar issue. They are suggesting it's an issue with coverflow. Since then also found a couple of additional links on this support site. Still reading through but doesn't seem to be a solution yet.

CS4 Extremely slow, and crashing on save

Illustrator CS4 is taking hours to save bigger files with semi-complicated drawings. Seeing a lot of the rotating beach ball. This drawing happens to have many gradients, a drop shadow and also a glow. Sometimes it takes all night to save the file. Now it seems any bigger file, such as 100mg's will work extremely slow, then crash on save. Any way to speed this up or fix the problem? I'm missing a deadline due to repeated work that has crashed over the course of a week. Thanks.

If you don't need the file to be compatible with other Creative Suite software (to e.g. place it there or open it) then you might try and turn off PDF compatibility.
Also try and turn off compression.

CS4 Extended Crashing During Save

Anytime an attempt to save an image is made, CS4 will "save" for about three minutes then present the error, "Could not save 'xxxx' because" along with a Windows delay write failed.. Been using PS fine for several months now, couldn't find a solution anywhere online. Suggestions?

run chkdsk
run anti-virus and other malware checks
disable all third party plugins
disable all utility software and try using Photoshop
etc.

Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 crash upon save, leaves small sized corrupt PSD file

Hi!
I've just updated our retouchers Photoshop CS4 to 11.0.1 but one of the issues we had with 11.0.0 remains. The problem doesn't happen that often, but since the result is an unusable .PSD file it's pretty nasty...
Sometimes when saving Photoshop crashes and the .PSD that was to be saved becomes a small (68 KB in the last example) and unusable.
The hardware/software we have:
Mac Pro 2.66 GHz (some with 5 GB RAM and some with 9 GB RAM)
Mac OS X 10.5.6
Photoshop CS4 Standard (updated to 11.0.1)
People work on server volumes shared via AFP. I've heard saving over the network isn't supported, but there's no other way, plus this issue never happened in CS3 so...
Any ideas on what can be done?

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that
normally, it does work
, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Intel OS 10.5 Illustrator CS5 crash during "save as" file replacement on network volume

I am running a recently reinstalled copy of CS5 on a os 10.5 Intel Mac pro as part of the CS5 design Premium edition. Every time I try to save over a file on a 10.5 fileserver as a "save as" to replace an exsisting document on the server, it crashes Illistrator. Hard. I get the spinning ball and have to force quit the application. This action tends to cause a volume bit map error on the hard drive. I have swapped the drive for a new one and the result is the same so I know it is not a failing hard drive. I have come accross a similiar issue on the forum and have yanked the pref file mentioned in the post, but no luck so far. If anyone has an idea, I am all ears. Thanks.
Previous thread with simialar issues.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/318379

Adobe has always stated that saving to and opening from a networked file server is not supported.
There are litterally thousands of configurations out there and it's not feasible for Adobe to test every single one of them.
If you save the file to a local drive do you have problems?

ADOBE PREMIER ELEMENTS 7 Starts OK but Crashes during Editing

This program lets me open and import up to 30 small Video clips ,while editing it's about this stage that it displays the following warning box :- ADOBE PREMIER ELEMENTS IS RUNNING LOW ON SYSTEM MEMORY. PLEASE SAVE YOUR PROJECT & PROCEED WITH CAUTIION........OK (button).
My computer is a HP ELITE PAVILION with 4 gb. of system memory , I have taken it for granted that this should be adequate for this type of program.... is this correct or there something else wrong ??
The program case has a note that it is for Win.XP or Vista & I am using Win.7 is it posible that it might nead a patch to make it better ??
I would appreciate if someone could ASAP be of a help to me....All the best....Bill Ellis

Hi Bill
Open the program and click Edit >>Preferences >>Scratch Disks
This should show the amount of spare memory for performing tasks.
If low you could add more disk space e.g. an external hard drive rather than main memory.
In general the software pre-dates Windows 7 but if it will run on Vista it should perform satisfactorily on W7.
If you need any more advice I would recommend going directly to the video forum.

Crashing during "Save As" in Snow Leopard

I use Photoshop CS4 on an iMac with 4gig of ram and Snow Leopard. Not every time, but often, Photoshop just quits after I click on Save As. I then relaunch Photoshop and everything works fine. It may do this every couple of days.
What is going on? Any suggestions?
Kevin

That happens in all applications on MacOS 10.6.
Apple is working on it.
I don't know about that. Since I did an HD upgrade, I've run Snow Leopard and CS4 Master Collection, and can count on one hand the times apps have crashed since November. (Dreamweaver twice and Fireworks once. I was having Finder issues at the time of each though and a reboot resolved it.)
I run AppleJack once a week as a rule and things go smoothly 99.9% of the time.
Vista, is another story...

Flash CC Crashed During Save, Months of Work: GONE

I've been working on a project in Flash CS6 (later opened and modified in CC when it debuted) for months now. Today, I invested over an hour of animation into it when I noticed the autosave wasn't working, so I manually clicked Save. Flash CC then crashed and when restarted, it couldn't open the .fla. When I looked at the .fla file, it now says it's 1kb in size.
Thankfully, I have a Mac that utilizes Time Machine through a hard drive connected to my AirPort Extreme and I also periodically save all my source files to my personal web server. However, I still lost all of the work I did today. Is there anyway to fix the .fla file or am I just S.O.L. and need to grab the last save Time Machine copy?
Regardless, I'll be sticking with Flash CS6 and might just cancel CC subscription completely since I only use Photoshop and Flash anyway.

if you have a working swf you might be able to decompile it to recreate your fla.
in any case, start saving your flas with version numbers because all versions of flash can corrupt the current document. i start with whateverproject_01.fla and increment the 01 until the project is complete.

CS6 Free Trial opens but crashes as soon as I try to do anything.

Downloaded free trial of photoshop CS6 tonight. It opens just fine, but as soon as I attempt to do anything, it crashes. Any ideas?

Did you receive any error messages during the installation process? You can review your installation log to double check by following the directions listed at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. What operating system are you using btw?
