Having problem with "artwork size & resolution exceeds the max that can be rasterized"

Hi all,
Ok, I created a 162.7" x 90.6" document (artboard) for an exhibition display I'm designing. The document was created using all the defaults - i think this is where i went wrong. Illustrator is now telling me that "the combination of artwork size and resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized" after i open the document and when i try to add a drop shadow to anything.
Other than some vector graphics i created in illustrator, I only have 3 180ppi and 4 300ppi photos tranfered right off the photograpers camera.
I selected :
1. "Print Document" from the initial splash window.
2. I entered the artboard size, bleed and left the "Raster Effects" setting to "High (300ppi)"
I think leaving the Raster Effects setting at 300ppi is where the problem is.
Do i have to create a new document or can i fix the existing one?

nados you are a little confused that's all I think things are ll right and you are probably set to go with out going to Photoshop.
1. Your file is probably fine as is
2. Make certain you images are linked and not embedded
3. Your Images are probably ok as far as they are for the the specs required do not lower the resolution just make certain they are linked.
You may have to reimport them and in the place dialog make certain link is checked.
4. The Raster Image Effects setting is fine leave it as is.
5. The jpegs are fine lee your images as is if that was what was supplied to you and they look clean.
6. When saving the file save as .AI format and in the AI save as option dialog uncheck include linked files
(you will send them the jpegs as well as the AI file.)
7. Send the images in what ever format they are now since that is jpeg leave it be just make certain the dimensions are the same as is being used in the document at 100%.
8 Make Certain you select the text and got Type> Create Outlines before saving the file.
9 Do not export the file to any other format.
10 Send the printer production house the AI file and the Jpegs you will be fine.
You should not have a problem with this file.

Why Cant I Add Drop Shadow? artwork size & resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized

I am making a sign for sign writing. The overall size is 2400mmx1800mm. so its quiet big.
But When I go to put a drop shadow behind it it comes up with this -
" The combination of artwork size & resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized"
Why is it saying this? How do I put a drop shadow on it?

Try scaling the sign down to 600 x 450mm and building your drop shadow at a more manageable size. When you deliver your file for output, tell the vendor to enlarge the file 400% in the RIP. If it still will not work, check your HD for scratch space. If there is not enough memory available to run the operation, you will continue getting the message until you clear some space and/or increase your RAM ( if necessary ).

I think i understand "artwork size & resolution exceeds the max" problem.

Hi all,
"the combination of artwork size and resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized". Have you ever gotten this error message?
After running into this problem constantly and getting support from you great guys, i think i understand why i keep getting this error.
As you all said, Ai is a 32 bit program and as such can run out of usable memory quickly, not by creating a lot of vector objects, but by having too much memory sucked up by raster objects. This is not a problem when raster object are "linked" but when they are embeded.
It appears the problem occures when you ask Ai to either convert vector objects to raster or create raster objects like shadows. Even if you have a linked raster object - say - a photo, and you want to create a shadow underneath it, Ai will embed the raster shadow as apposed to creating a linked shadow object associated with the object you want to create the shadow for.
Soooo, the larger the linked raster object is (that you want to create a shadow under) the larger the embeded shadow object is. If your creating shadows for small objects, you won't run out of memory very quickly. But if you have big objects you want to create shadows for, you will run out of Ai's allocated memory with just a few objects.
As far as i know, you can't tell Ai to link internally created raster objects like shadows. So this is where all of the alternative suggestions come into play such as:
1. reducing Ai's Raster Effects ppi setting (may or may not help depending on how far your over Ai's allocated memory limit)
2. linking raster shadows created in photoshop
3. creating wire mesh gradient vector objects to use as shadows
Until Ai becomes 64bit, I hope this helps others.

BTW, has anyone printed Ai shadows at a Raster Effects setting of 72 or 150ppi for a large object?
Does the shadow still look good?

I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them

Can any one please help me I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them. I have tried all restoring options but no use. please help me

The mic on my iPhone4 has just quit also. Similar symptoms to yours in that people I'm talking to hear only static or my voice very faintly. The voice/memo recorder also only really records static.
It happened suddenly and seemed to get better after a day or two but then went completely after another day.
I'm returning it to Vodafone New Zealand shortly but will have to wait 5-10 days for a replacement. There are NO Apple accredited means to speed this procedure up in NZ.
We don't even have a single physical Apple Store where you could walk in and talk to a Genius.

I have been having problems with my speaker. After the recent update I am unable to listen to movies or music using my speaker. The volume bar is completely missing. If I plug a headset into the port, the volume bar reappears.

I have been having problems with my speaker. After the recent update I am unable to listen to movies, music or apps using my speaker. The volume bar is completely missing. If I plug a headset into the port, the volume bar reappears and then disappears after the headset is removed. This is quite annoying. My child's Apps that he likes to play will not even make a sound. HELP!!!

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

I'm having problems with videos, they shake and the images break up back and forth into striped colors, how do I fix this?

I'm having problems with videos, they shake and the images break up back and forth into striped colors, how do I fix this?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock. About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor. But the computer locks up.

Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this. You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels. An update corrects the problem:

Having problem with change of name in the datagrid Coding

I am having problem with changing the name of the datagrid header text name for one of the data either in the flash file or the php file.
The thing is i want to change the Course_Name to Course Name that has no underscore so that it will look nicer in the datagrid but if I change it in the php file like SELECT Course_Name as 'Course Name' ....., it will not turn out in the datagrid when I CTRL ENTER the flash file but the others like Price,description and display is shown.
There is no problem with my php code but I do not know how to change the Course_Name into Course Name so please help me resolve this error that I am having.
This is my flash code
function goCourse(e : MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(5);
refreshResponder = new Responder (refreshSuccess, onFault);
connection = new NetConnection ();
connection.connect (gateway);
dataDG.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, gridItemSelected);
refreshData (true);
function gridItemSelected (e: Event): void {
ID = e.target.selectedItem.ID;
courseTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Course_Name;
priceTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Price;
descTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Description;
private function getParams () {
var param: Object = new Object ();
param.ID = ID;
param.Course_Name = courseTxt.text;
param.Price = priceTxt.text;
param.Description = descTxt.text;
return param;
private function refreshData (refresh: Boolean): void {
if (refresh)
connection.call ("Course.viewCourse", refreshResponder);
private function refreshSuccess (result: Object): void {
dataDG.dataProvider = RecordSetDP.toDataProvider (result);
dataDG.columns = ["Course_Name","Price","Description","Display"];
private function onFault (fault: Object): void {
trace (String (fault.description));
This is my php file code.
function viewCourse()
$this->connect();
$sql = "SELECT Course_Name,Price,Description,Display
FROM coursetb";
return mysql_query($sql,$this->_connection);

i don't see where you're calling your php file in your code, but change 'Course Name' to 'Course_Name' (or vice-versa) there.

Having problems with one computer not "seeing" the Airport base station.

Aloha:
I have an Airport router hooked up to the internet via Cable. I have a laptop and G4 desktop talking to the the Airport Base Station via their respective Airport cards. This allows me to get to the internet with both of my computers. This system has worked just fine for several years, but recently my desktop computer has started to be unable to connect to my Airport Base Station. At first it was intermittent, but now it has stopped completely. The laptop continues to be able to get to the internet via my Airport base station.
The desktop is running OS 10.3.9 and the airport card in the desktop passes the hardware test that came with the laptop. But it can no longer see the signal from the ABS.
What might my problem be?
Dan

Hi Clinton:
I have tried that to no avail. I don't see any
signal, so I see no networks "in the box below" to
choose. My airport card does not see a signal, but
the airport card checks out ok in the hardware test.
Thanks for replying, Clinton, much appreciated.
Dan
Have you tried choosing "other..." and then entering the name of your network?

Having problems with Adobe Flash Player 11.8. What can I do to get this rectified?

Had new version of Adobe Flash player on Windows 8 . Was on yahoo. com playing Publishers Clearing House Games, when last night the system went dowm part way. Playing Sunken treasure for $1000.00 entry or tokens when it played the game but would not exit to next game when it should. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player like specified then reinstalled but still having problems. What can I do now. I have had this problem before with the same results. Was informed that Adobe was having the problems with this version.It gets to be aggrivating if not rediculous.

Thanks. Do you know if he will have to have his own iTunes account as well?

IPhone 6, problems with volume, automatically goes to the max when listening to the music

iPhone 6 iOS 8.1, sometimes when I'm trying to increase volume by 1 bar, it goes to the max and there is no way to decrease it without reboot. Had same problem before updating to iOS 8.1... I've never had that problem with my 5S, which is also on iOS 8.1. I'm using Beats Mixr headphones with remote. I've tried to restore the phone, didn't helped.
Yesterday I was listening to the music on iPhone 6 for about 4 hours and this happened 5 times, today I listened music from iPhone 5S for almost 5 hours and it didn't happended even once... I was using the same headphones... Any ideas?
THanks in advance

My phone is not on mute, the volume is up to the max, there are no blue tooth connections, the phone will not ring only vibrate with the ringer on. I cannot hear any music through the phone either.
