Illustrator CC crashes when saving

Hi all,
I became a member of Adobe Creative Cloud a few days ago.
Today I started working in Illustrator CC, but it really bothers me that everytime I save my doccument it crashes.
Well, at least, it says that it crashes, but if I wait a couple of minutes it works again and it saved my procress.
Also when I close the program and open it again, it already crashes before I have done anything.
This is very anoying, and I wondered if I am the only one having this problem?
I am working on a Windows 7 computer, and with Illustrator CS6 I didn't had this problem at all.

Adanja, Cliff,
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, and 11) is about font caches);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.  http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

  • Illustrator CC crashes when saving to network drive

    Hi all,
    We have 3 Macs all running 10.10 or 10.9 which crash when saving eps file types (PDF saves fine) to a NetApp network drive using Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 release.
    Users can save files locally and then copy the files to the network drive with no problems.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Colin

    Colin,
    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, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Illustrator CS6 crashes when saving or printing

    A couple weeks ago, my AI CS6 started crashing when saving complex line work (Rhino Make2D exports) or when I tried to check the printer setting. I've reinstalled AI and installed the latest updates. For a few days, the saving problem went away but it has returned today. I have cleared the preferences folder.
    I am running Windows 7.
    Is this a Rhino/AutoCAD export issue? The saving problem persists even when I copied a small section of the linework to a fresh AI document. Simple vectors don't lead to saving problems. Thanks!

    You need to provide system information or else this is no use to anyone...

  • Illustrator CC Crashes when saving Symbols

    My issue is when I open an .eps, (any .eps because I tried it with a multitude of files), and I try to drag a path into the symbols panel then "save symbol library" Illustrator immediately crashes. It doesn't matter if its just one symbol or multiple symbols.
    This is the problem details:
    Problem signature:

    I use a Drawing Tablet not a mouse
    Your help in this is GREATLY appreciated!!!

    I found a temporary "fix" although not a legitimate one. If I open a new document and select all from the existing .eps file and then paste into a new document, I can then save the individual paths as symbols and then save the symbol library without a crash. But I would like to note, THIS DOES NOT RESOLVE ILLUSTRATOR CC'S CRASH ISSUE. It is just a way around it. I would like to know how to resolve the original issue. I tried installing today's update with no positive result, I also tried unhiding my fonts as mentioned in a previose post, that also did not work.

  • Illustrator CS4 crashes when saving. (OSX)

    We currently have a few users at my company that are experiencing problems saving specific documents in Illustrator CS4. Most of the documents that they save work just fine and can be edited on other machines with no flaws.  But a handful of the files crash everytime they go to save and is causing quite the headache over here. It also seems to happen when they copy a certain part of the document over to a completely separate one. Currently this is happening on a 10.4.8 & 10.6.1 system along with a single Windows 7 machine. Here are some of the things that I've tried to fix the problem:
    -Cleaned OSX Cache
    -Repaired permissions
    -Deleted the com.adobe.CSXPreferences.plist (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1901414)
    -Reinstalled the entire CS4 Suite
    -Fully update Mac/Adobe software
    -Cleaned/Repaired fonts by using FontDoctor
    If anyone has any suggestions on what could be causing these random unexpended problems I would be very thankful,
    -Matt

    I've been having the same problem on and off - Try starting your Print Spooler! Control Panel - Anmin Tools - Print Spooler - Start....
    Let me know if that works

  • Illustrator CC crashes when saving older files( CS5)

    Hi,
    illustrator CC keeps crashing the first time I save an old file (CS5) if I make an amendment but does NOT crash if I just "Save As". Once I've "Saved As" I can then use the cmd S without the program crashing. Anyone else out there having this issue and know of a fix? I have also generated a new account on the Mac but that didn't help.
    Thanks
    G.

    Has it ever worked?
    What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
    Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
    Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
    Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

  • Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

    Hi there,
    We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
    We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem. 
    Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
    Thanks,
    Katherine

  • Why does Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?

    Why does Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?

    That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this
    and paste that into your reply.
