Can't save my illustrator files. I keep getting "unknown error" message. Using version 6 on a macbook pro. OSX 10.9.5
42nato,
You may try the list (skip 5) in this case).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

HT1222 Anybody else having problems installing itunes version 11 on a MacBook Pro?
Anybody else having problems installing itunes version 11 on a MacBook Pro? Is so, how can they be resolved?
You need to tell us exactly what messages you are seeing.
You posted this in the OSX 10.4 forum but your computer profile says you are running OSX 10.6.8 Which system version you are running makes a big difference. -
What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro?
Note that iStatPro has not been updated in quite awhile and may not be reading the guts of a totally new system correctly. IIRC, the Late 2011 MBPs were beginning to tax iStatPro already, as they had newer sensors the older code was completely unaware of.
For strictly measuring temps on the guts of these newer Macs, maybe use Marcel Bresink's free Temperature Monitor? Last updated in March 2012. In my Late 2011 15" MBP, it picks up all 18 sensors...

Or go whole hog for his Hardware Monitor, for oodles more info from the Mac. Follow the Products link from above. -

What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro? I purchased an "old" one from Best Buy the day before the announcement of the new models.
See the specs:
Compare Notebooks - Apple Store (U.S.)
Compare with your model. If you are within 14 days of purchase you can exchange for the new model for the difference in price, if any. Be sure to have all the original packaging and your receipt. -

Install OSX on Macbook Pro 2009
Hello,
I just bought a used Macbook Pro 17 inch form early 2009. There is Windows 8 installed, but I would like to install the OSX again.
If I start with command + r the book is still starting in Windows8.
I have a iMac from 2007 with Maverick running, and a old Macbook with 10.7.
What is the best way to recover a version of OS X
Thanks a lot.The whole point of the retail version of the OS DVDs was that anyone who's system was capable of running that OS could buy the DVD. They were universal.
As I wrote if it were me I'd want the security of having the DVD. Of course the ideal solution would be to get the original DVD from the seller who was legally required to furnish them.
In any case the OP should do a reformat and clean install of whatever OS is used, especially if it is the clone. I would not want to run off of a clone from a different system in this case, to many unknowns.
As for the legal question I've found discussing that here on ASC is a thankless task which leads no where. Apple is a big company if they have issues with the legality of anything they can look into it. I got no dog in that hunt.

Looking for laptop - running Win version of CS3 on Macbook Pro?
I've been wanting to finally get a laptop for a long time now, and my first choice has always been a Macbook Pro. My main computer now is a self-built PC, and I do all my video work within CS3; my production company also runs CS3, so it made sense to mirror it at home. Anyway, my original thinking was to get a Macbook Pro so that I could have the option to edit with Final Cut Pro again, which would be nice because I see so much freelance work/job postings where the client/company is using FCP. Plus, out of all the laptops I've messed around with in the past, Macbooks always seem to work the best/fastest; and I just like them better overall.
However, the idea of getting a laptop that isn't compatible with my current personal/professional workflow doesn't seem like such a good idea now. I have plans to travel to Japan for an extended period of time too, and I want to be able to work remotely, which means having access to a PC machine running CS3. Because of this, I started looking into PC laptops again... but I'm just not impressed with what I see. So I read about the possibility of running Bootcamp on a MBP, thus allowing me to run my PC version of CS3. Theoretically I could then still work on all of my PC formatted projects and then switch back into OS X for "normal laptop computing" (as well as starting new projects with FCP).
Since I have no personal experience doing something like this though, I was wondering if anyone runs a setup like this and if so, how well does CS3/4/5 run via Bootcamp on a Macbook Pro? I've been reading on here how CS5's Mercury engine doesn't/can't work because the hardware won't support it, but does the overall editing experience suck?
Just for reference, currently all my job-related work is simple DV NTSC... so I'm sure any laptop I buy would be able to handle that. However our company is planning to upgrade to HD in the near future, and I personally work with XDCAM EX footage via my Sony EX1r. So I want a laptop that can handle HD projects without choking to death. Also, an Express Card slot would be pretty awesome, too, that way I can dump my SxS cards without having to dock the camera (a 17" MBP would offer this).
Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated, thanks!Have a look here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/771180?tstart=0
The final solution found in this thread, including all the specs, is way more attractive than any MBP. It gives no compatibility issues, allows upgrading to CS5 without issues, is fast enough for AVCHD and XDCAM-EX material, is easy to connect to your home PC, avoids possible problems with effects/transitions missing on the MAC, gives you much more bang-for-the-buck than any MBP.
Additionally, it saves you an extra license for PR MAC. -
I can't share photos on iPhoto (version 9.6) for Macbook Pro
I have been sharing photos on iPhoto version 9.6 regularly from my Macbook Pro (running Yosemite 10.10.1). Today I tried to share a photo and all of the six share options at the top of the screen (messages, Mail, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) are greyed out. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
What have you already checked?
You need to have photos selected
The mac needs to be connected to the internet.

Problems re-installing OSX on macbook pro
Hi,
My macbook pro (2010 Snow leopard) has been freezing quite a lot and last night froze for 3 hours so I've been trying to re-boot unsuccessfully (majority of times). I've spoke to Apple and they have suggested using the OSX disk that came with the mac to repair utilities but for some stupid reason I'm trying to re-install OSX again and so far it has taken almost 2 hours. It has gone through the first install with the blue progress bar and now the time remaining keeps increasing. I'm afraid to quit it incase I do any damage.
Can I get out of it or should I just let it runs it's course?
Please help!!
thanksThe options under apple menu were greyed out so I'm in the process of restarting, I'll see if it will start up in safe mode or try the disk utilities instead of installing the OSX. My main concern was how long it was taking to install and also would it wipe my hard drive once it had installed.
Once again thank you for you patience and help, I'm sure I'll be back if I can't get it going. I have booked an appointment in the Apple store next week because the machine hasn't been running very well for a while now. -
Sudden increase in boot-up time (OSX Lion, MacBook Pro)
Hi all,
I have a 2010 MacBook Pro, with the following specs;
OSX Lion
Intel i7 2.8GHz (dual core)
8GB RAM
256GB SSD HDD
Intel HD graphics
The issue that I have been having is a sudden, unexplained increase in boot-up time. Yesterday and for the past two years, my MBP took circa 15 seconds to boot up, but today it has been taking approximately 5 minutes. I have the latest software update.
My hard drive space is running low; I only have 4GB of space left, could this be a contributing factor?
When I switch on the laptop, it get to the picture of the Apple logo, without the spinning gear below, hangs there for approximately 4 minutes, and then eventually continues to the user log-in screen.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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or freeze, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search that archived log, and if necessary the older ones below it, for the same information.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Do the same with kernel.log.
Step 3
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
Can't Reinstall OSX Onto Macbook Pro
We have a MacBook Pro that suffered a hard drive failure. We've installed a new Hard Drive, and now are not having any luck getting the OSX to reinstall.
- Looking up by S/N: this is a "Mid-2010 Core i5 MacBook Pro 15-inch" its an A1286.
- Just pressing the power button results in a screen with a blinking ? File Folder
- Pre-Installed OS is listed as 10.6.3. My understanding is that it has to be at least 10.7 for an Internet Recovery to function. We've tried the Command-R at boot anyway, and the result is that it sits at the Apple logo on a Grey screen indefinitely
- We have a Retail OSX disc that is labeled as 10.6.3. With the disc in the drive, and pressing Option key at startup, we get to the screen to select the Boot Volume, where the only option is "Mac OS X Install DVD." Selecting this option makes the DVD start to spin up for a moment then stop, and it takes us back to the grey screen with the apple logo, where it just sits.
- The OSX DVD is a known good disc.
- At this point we're stuck, and don't know what to do next.Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
installation current.
