Illustrator CC 2014 slow opening and saving

Huge Fan. Serious problem. Brand new 1 Terabyte Hard Drive in my MBP. 2 Gigs of RAM
So loaded all my software into the computer, which has been working fabulous for years. Had CC 2013 for all our Adobe products. When loading the new suite with CC 2014 --- now Illustrator takes 5 minutes to open a 3mg Business card file. 3 minutes to save it as a PDF or AI file. PLEASE... someone tell me if I can get the old CC 2013 suite instead of this one?
I have looked for the Adobe Driver, as various discussions seem to indicate that this is an issue, yet I cannot see a folder by this name nor does it show up in my library folder.
Thoughts?

>Since updating my mac to Yosemite
Did you contact Apple about the problem their update caused?
Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

Illustrator CC 2014 slow opening networked files on some PC's

Have 6 PC's running CC 2014. 5 Win 7 Pro 64, one Home 32. Two weeks ago two of the pro 64 PC's are pausing for 20 seconds opening or saving illustrator files of any size on the network (Server 2008 R2). No issues with any other programs or any of the other PC's. Opening the same file saved on the local HDD is fine. This started I believe after some MS updates about two weeks ago.
Watching the network packets/sec graph selecting the file to open on the network there will be almost no data transfer for 15 seconds then it shoots up and opens even a 15mb file in 1 second. All PC's received the MS updates and I cant figure out why its happening on only two machines. Happens whether opening in explorer on the mapped drive, opening from the file-open menu or opening by browsing the network instead of through the mapped drive.
Everything else is fine, even copying the file takes half a second, its just opening over the network on these two machines.

Porkkana,
Concerning files from network, it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html
Concerning the other issues, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (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, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

CS3 crashes when Opening and saving files - also runs slow

Today, while using photoshop, it locked up on me & I had to force quit. It then wouldn't open a file either via Bridge or the open menu. I could create a new file, but it would hang while attempting to save.
I downloaded and ran the FixVCUIFramework, and it allowed me to open and save 1 file, before it started not saving or opening again. Running the Fix again has no effect.
I switched to another user account, and everything works fine - in fact PS runs much speedier in the 2nd user account than in my main account. I hadn't noticed how slow it had become in opening and saving.
Any ideas of where to look in trying to repair my main account? I don't want to have to migrate everything over to the 2nd account. Bridge in the 2nd account doesn't allow me to open all my folders, so I'd prefer not to work totally with a new user account.

A forced quit WILL create corruption.
An Archive and Install of the OS will give you a fresh system in your regular account while preserving your settings. Should take you less than 45 minutes.
But you may want to try deleting your Photoshop preferences and running the 10.4.11 update over your existing 10.4.11 system first. That may work too, and it would be faster.

Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7

Hi, I ‘am a Graphic Designer and first time working in UAE Windows 7 is basically the only OS here. My PC is:
HP Elite 7000
Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 2.67GHz
4GB RAM
32-bit
Now to the problem, not that knowledgeable in IT stuff so here goes:
1. Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7. (You will actually see a “Not Responding” word coming out while opening and saving files, whether small or large files)
2. Locked layers occasionally are moved accidentally.(Working on multiple layers is normal so we need to lock it specially the once on top. But there are times I still manage to select locked layers)
3. After typing and locking the text, pressing “V” for the arrow key shortcut is still added to the text that is locked. (After typing I lock the text layer with my mouse and Press “V” to activate the arrow key… yes the arrow key is activated but the text is still typing the actual keyboard pressed)
I’ve only use the brand new PC and installer for a month now. Not sure if this is compatibility issues or something else I’m not aware of.
Thanks in advance to people that will reply.
Cheers!!!

Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.

Slow open and save with psb files Photoshop CC

Here is my system info:
Mac Pro Early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Running Photoshop off an SSD 220GB as my bootdisk , and then my scratches are two 1TB Western Digi Caviar Blacks, both at about 60% full, running Big and flat in PS CC prefs,
Running Photoshop CC 14.0.0
I'm having very slow open and save times for psb files ranging in size from 2GB to 6GB - slow meaning 5-6 mins
Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this time?

I've noticed the same thing with .tif files. It's taking a good minitue or more to save a 15 meg .tif. Very annoying. I opened PS4 and converted the same .jpg to a .tif and saved it in the same location and it took about 4 seconds. Something is totally jacked with saving files in CC.
Checked the compression settings and the are the same in both. Not a big fan of CC everything is slower. I pay monthly now to work slower?!? May have to go back to CS4.

Solution for Slow Open and Save As Dialogs under 10.4.4

I don't know how many others out there may be experiencing this, but...
I noticed that -- after updating to 10.4.4 -- I started getting really long delays when accessing Open and Save As file dialogs -- I mean, sometimes it would take 5 to 15 seconds for the dialog to appear!
I did a lot of troubleshooting, and finally hit upon the solution a couple of nights ago:
It's the Desktop iDisk!
Going into the .Mac Preference Pane and turning off "iDisk Syncing" has totally eliminated the slowdown.
I think it has something to do with DiskMirrorAgent, since that has frozen on me a couple of times and prevented logoff until I force-quit it.
'Hope this helps.

Hi Matt,
One can always manually mount the iDisk when needed, and it still syncs, albeit in real time, and kind of herky-jerky.
As for the slowdown when multiple items are mounted, I believe I'm describing a different issue, related to DiskMirrorAgent. If and when you get this slowdown (with desktop iDisk syncing enabled), check Activity Monitor, and you'll see DiskMirrrorAgent sucking up most of the CPU time for the time it takes before the dialog appears. My record time was about 25 seconds.
As for slow Open and Save As dialogs when multiple items are mounted: I customarily have several external FireWire drives mounted, and often a couple of CDs and/or DVDs (I produce a radio program, and have several optical drives), and I have had no Open or Save As dialog slowdowns since at least 10.3.x, maybe earlier.
Even when the dialog opens to a directory on a CD that has spun down, the opening time on an Open or Save As dialog is nearly instantaneous for me, suggesting that Mac OS X 10.4.x is doing a good job of caching the data.
But I hear you about the "old days," when it used to take forever to get a dialog to appear, just because a CD was mounted! Maddening!

HT4641 after modifying a document in Pages I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox. Does anyone know why?

after modifying a document in Pages ON MY IPAD AIR I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox. Does anyone know why?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

If the folio overlays are created in CS5.5, will they need to be recreated when opening and saving it in CS6?

Hi,
Do the folio overlays created using CS5.5 need to be created again when changing the file to a CS6 version? For example, a scrollable frame is created in the Indesign file/folio while using Indesign CS5.5. Then later, the file is opened and saved again after CS6 is now being used—it's saved for CS6, no longer 5.5. V27 is being used for DPS. Thanks.

No.

I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

(Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:" in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
Thank you so much.

There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
Good luck!

Acrobat 9 Pro Slow opening and closing pdf files - "Not Responding"

I was responsible for pushing to get and keep 25 enterprises licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro Vers 9. Corporate is pushing Blue Beam!
We are on Acrobat Pro Vers. 9.3.1. Windows XP Pro 32 bit OS. (PCs and laptops 1 - 3 years old, min 2 GB RAM, 2.1 GHz CPUs)
Recently pdf files have been slow to open and close to the degree that windows . It's to the point where I thought we were having network issues since this the problem is widespread. However, it can occur when opening files on the local machine as well. Worse, it's intermittent. We do not run any add-ins, 3rd party or Adobe. Most of these file run from 25kb in size to 2MB, rarely are they 5MB+.
I just installed 9.3.2 and will keep an eye on it. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what might be causing this or, what to look for?
Thanks!
Brian

Thanks Brennao. Our Organizer90 files were 7MB - 9MB. I've deleted them on my PC and a couple of others. Adobe help was no help for disabling the the Organizer. I had to search the forums again to find out where to do that, and low and behold, the app apparently defaults to store data for 12 months! I've change the setting to "Don't Remember PDFs", on the same PCs and am monitoring the performance to see if this is the "Silver Bullet". If it works we'll put the instructions in our company FAQs.

Why are my Illustrator CC 2014 text, icon, and panel sizes too big? It's treating me like an old person.

The photo on the left is Illustrator CC 2014 and the one on the right is Illustrator CC. As you can see the icons and text on the left are enlarged, resulting in less space for the document. I couldn't see anything in preferences about this. Does anyone know how I can fix this? None of my other CC 2014 apps did this... Is it a computer setting or a CC setting?

I don't have CC so I can't test this, but apparently since 17.1 on Windows the illustrator UI scales to 150 or 200% depending on your OS scaling settings. it might have something to do with it:

Problems opening and saving PNG over network with CS2 and CS3

using os10.4.11
photoshop CS2 or CS3
I've recently tried to save images in PNG format, small (no more than a couple hundred kilobytes) and found that whenever I tried to save to the server it would hang photoshop and require a force-quit. Saving the same file to the desktop works fine. Copying said file to the network and then trying to open that PNG from the server results in a photoshop hang, while opening that same file from the desktop works fine. I know all about the fact that Adobe doesn't support working over a server, but that's never been an issue at my workplace in all the years I've worked with (never had problems saving/opening any format, no corrupted files ever). If I try to open that same PNG from the server with CS2, same result. If I try to open it over the server using Photoshop CS, or version 7, however, it opens just fine. If I copy the Photoshop CS version of the PNG plugin and replace the PNG plugin installed with CS3 by default, then it seems to work and I can now open and save PNGs anywhere with no problems. Has anyone else had this problem? I can see that the file size of the PNG plugin has changed version to version, so something about it has changed. It seems as though there is something defective about the ones installed with CS2/3, and just copying the CS version into my CS3 folder clears up the problem.
Also, the problem is not limited to my computer. Other macs that try to open PNG files from the server using CS3 or 2 also hang.

Yes, we're a prepress company moving around probably a few dozen gb of data per day, saving PSD, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, all kinds of formats. It's the first time I've had a client requesting PNG files, and so the issue has come to light. This is the first time I've ever seen any kind of issue opening/saving across our network in 8 years. (the only time I've ever seen a corrupt file was a 1.6gb image that didn't copy correctly, and that wasn't a photoshop-related corruption, but an OS drag/copy of the file)
I'm not sure if I'll be able to find someone with OS 10.5 or some other version to see if they cause problems. If anyone else reading this who works over a network can test a PNG open/save over their network and list their OS and Photoshop version it may help. I'm going to see if I can find some other computers to try it out on in the meantime and mention it to IT.

Illustrator CC 2014 crashing Mac when saving large file

Hello,
I hope someone can help, when I am working on a large file in Illustrator CC 2014 and working from with in my mac - not a network drive, my Mac resets its self and I get the power symbol, grey screen and text.
Does anyone know why this happens? I'm sorry if I have posted it in the wrong community. Below is my Mac spec:
Processor: 3.4ghz intel core i7
Memory: 16GB 1600 MHz RAM
OSX Version: 10.9.1
Thank you,
Jade

Sure Jade,
Definitely I will. Working with Adobe and Apple to get some conclusion.
Thanks

Illustrator CC 2014: Effect-Gallery and Filters not working. "Process was interrupted/stopped."

When I try to apply a grain effect on a gradient-filled object, Illustrator CC 2014 for Mac OS.X tells me that "The Process was interrupted/stopped." What do I do and can I fix that issue by installing plug-ins? Also the whole "effect-gallery" isn't working neither. Please help me I am devastated, I am in urgent need of some grain-effects and this error is driving me insane!
Thanks for help!

System: OS.X Yosemite
Kind of artwork: Vektor Rectangle, I want to make some freecards and the background should be filled with a grain-gradient.
hardware specs: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
                          Processor: 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
                          Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
                          Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Other installed programms are PS and ID, both CS6 and CC. As far as I'm concerned there are not "third party plugins". (Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a complete newbie.)
There is a 393 GB storage available yet.
I already uninstalled and reinstalled it, then it was in english and the effect-gallery worked perfectly. Then i reinstalled it again because I needed it in german, afterwards there were the same troubles as at the beginning.
Sincerely, I don't know how I should reset the preferences.
Thank you for answering that soon!
