Illustrator crashes when dragging

Hi all,
I'm running Illustrator CS6 (16.2.0) on Mac OS X 10.8.2 and Illustrator crashes as soon as I attempt to drag anything. The crash is reproducable if I do the following:
1. Launch Illustrator and create a new document
2. Create a text field, line, or shape
3. Select the Arrow tool
4. Drag the element I just created
Illustrator will crash as soon as I try to drag. I can move the element using the arrow keys, but the crash happens when I try to drag with the mouse. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a workaround?

revrevon which firefox plug did it cause the problem?
My Adobe Illustrator was working all ok. Yesterday i installed Firefox and it crashed twice since that.
I think i'll return to Google Chrome for a while i can't solve this situation.
Windows 8.1, Illustrator CS6 in here.

AE CC crash when drag jpg and png files to comp

Hi I have noticed photoshop exports of jpg and png files cause AE CC to crash when drag these files to comp Same jpg and png exported from CS6 do not cause crash.

What exact version of Photoshop CC are you using? 14.0, 14.1, 14.2?
How are you saving the PNG and JPEG files from Photoshop? File > Save As? Save for Web?
In After Effects preferences > Media & Disk Cache, is the Create Layer Markers from Footage XMP Metadata option enabled? Does the problem go away if you turn this off?
A similar problem recently occurred with files generated from Illustrator CC (17.1):
http://adobe.ly/1jlIykQ
However, we have no reason to believe the same problem would apply to files generated from Photoshop. I am not able to reproduce your problem with PNG and JPEG files saved from Photoshop CC (14.2), either from Save As or Save for Web. So either the conditions of your problem are more specific, or it is not related to the XMP Metadata problem.

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.

Illustrator crashes when using save as and changing the save location yosemite OS

I am having a problem with illustrator crashing when using save as to save a file to another location than the one it was previously saved in. It will save to the same location just fine but on macbook pro with yosemite os it crashes immediately when i change the save location. Tried reinstall and also tried other users and still does it. Any solutions?

Hi Parisian tiger
What happens when you try to open any file from the same location where you are saving the file using Save As command ?
Will it be possible to join a connect session with me ?
Please do let me know about your time availability ?

Illustrator crashes when I try to open it

Illustrator crashes when I try to open it.

I've been experiencing this issue too. I run CC on OS 10.6.8 with Extensis Fusion 4. I discovered Fusion 4 is not compatible with CC and have since upgraded to Fusion 5. Illustrator was still crashing, but I found in the forums that the Verdana font had to be activated in the System folder. I tried to install it there, but couldn't figure out how to do that, so I just activated it in the Font Library. After that, Illustrator opened.
You can find out more about this by doing a search for "Illustrator CC crash at launch" in the forum sections.

Illustrator crashes when I attempt to launch

Hello,
Illustrator crashes when I attempt to launch.
any solution?

Hi All,
If AI CC 2014 is crashing on launch, then please send me the crash logs at [email protected] including the link of the Forum Thread where your post is listed.
For WIN please create a DMP file using the Task Manager (Right Click on the Adobe Illustrator CC and select the option Create Dump File) when AI displays the crash dialog. Please send this to me using any free File sharing websites and do not use the mail to send me this file as the size is more than 600MB.

Crashing when dragging clips into source box! "Premiere Pro has encountered an error."

Hi, I just installed the CS5 Premiere Pro software trial version and it keeps on crashing when I drag my imported clips into the source box?
It says:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Please help b/c I would like to use this program for a project due Monday. Thank you so much!

@ Andrey V.: I tried that but it did not work. I still get the same error message. =(
@ Jeremy D.: It's "protected MPEG-4 movie"

CS5 Illustrator crashes when trying to save.. help!

Hi All
I've recently upgraded my imac to snow leopard and cs5. I've been using Illustrator this morning to creates some graphs/charts and am finding more often than not it's crashing when I go to save it (saving as a standard cs5 ai file). It saves sucessfully say 25% or the time, crashes the rest of the time...
It's really frustrating, any ideas on what it could be? PS, INDD etc all seem fine, it's just Illustrator.
I've copied the error report I get after it crashes - it's really long - so let me know if I should post it...
Thanks!

I agree with Scott - a little more information is required, most importantly to where you are trying to save. This could be anything from networking issues to disfunctioning external drives to drives simply not spinning up in time after energy saving to AI itself having a problem flattening the file for creating the PDF chunks on safe. How are we supposed to know? The crash report is probably useless, so there is no point in posting it.

Illustrator crashes when opening Flash-exported SVG

Illustrator (latest CC version) always crashes when I try to open a Flash-exported SVG. It doesn't matter if I try to open it directly or import to a blank document. Other SVGs open well. I've already disabled all non-essential Windows 7 services. Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

What do Windows services have to do with any of that? I've tried anything that could help at Entre em contato com o Atendimento ao cliente! Maybe you never had any trouble with Illustrator before... The whole thing is as simple as this: any software shouldn't crash while opening a file with incompatible data (it should warn and abort the operation)! And actually Illustrator opens every SVG file correctly, but those exported by Flash Professional. The file data should be correct, since any other SVG-compatible software can open those images. Any software, but Adobe Illustrator... You can see at Re: Is there a way to save out/export vector art from Flash CC to open as vector art in Illustrator CC? that Flash Professional's SVG export feature should allow a Flash-Illustrator workflow. It doesn't, at least on my system. I've described in few words the steps to reproduce the error: latest CC software, Windows 7 system, no matter any other service, export SVG from Flash (tried different options), open with Illustrator, unexpected crash. I haven't attached the files because the forum does not allow this. They're here: http://www.caritasinveritate.teo.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1.svg and http://www.caritasinveritate.teo.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/transparencia1.svg

Adobe Illustrator crashes when I try to print

I have a new MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch and the system crashes when I try to print a Adobe Illustrator document. I also have a 17" PowerBook and a MacPro
Xeon workstation that does not have the same problem. All systems are running OSX 10.9.4.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Brown

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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Premiere Pro CS6 Crashes When Dragging

Trying to edit in PP CS6 and keep getting this error every time I drag files.
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
This happens every time I try to drag any footage. Regardless of files or locations.
I'm working (at least trying to) on a Mac Pro (Mid 2012) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
Processor- 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory- 16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics- ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB
The Adobe applications manager says everything is up-to-date and I've tried everything I can think of.
Restarting computer.
Testing different video files in the project (happens with all)
Moving files to a different drive
Creating a new project on a different drive
Opening old project with footage that worked before.
No luck with anything. Any help is greatly appreciated! I've got deadlines to meet and no backup computer!

Hi, did you get anywhere with this? I am having a similar issue in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
The issue is as follows:
If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition ANYWHERE within the program, it will crash - with the serious error message. In order to 'reset' this, I HAVE to restart my machine. Once I have done so, I can continue editing as normal for a while (up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again.
The crash ONLY happens when drag something... This can include moving a clip on the timeline, dragging a clip form the source viewer or project window, dragging an effect or transition.
The crash happens after I have clicked, as soon as I start to move my mouse.
I CAN click and drag to extend in and out points on the timeline, and I can do 'insert' edit using the button on the source monitor. The footage plays fine.
I am trying this on a CLEAN OS X install, with only Adobe packages installed, to eliminate any potential of interference from other programs. There are no third party plugins or drivers installed.
My system is: Macbook Pro 2011, 16GB Ram, 1tb SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Intel Graphics card, so no option to turn on or off hardware acceleration. It is set to software only.
I have tested this with projects and footage on an external drive, same issue.
I have been using the system on Mavericks and had no problems. I'm guessing it was either the update to Yosemite (I have reinstalled from scratch numerous times to rule out any errors during installation), OR a recent change to Premiere.
Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects. Again, until the machine is restarted.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Photoshop CS5 crashes when dragging a new layer

I was searching the forum for similar problems, but non of the threads had a solution (except uninstalling and installing again PS CS5 or even worse - formatting my PC).
I must say that this problem is quite new. PS was working flawlessly for a few months. It crashes when I paste a new layer and drag it.
These are my specs:
* HP Pavilion 9750ej
* Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS with the latest driver 266.58 (I uninstalled the previous one, and had a clean install of the new driver)
* 2GB RAM
* 11.7GB of FREE SPACE on 320GB HDD (I know it's not much, but it shouldn't cause PS to crash, especially when I'm working with low-res pics)
I don't know how to create a crash-log, but I would attach if you could tell me how, and if it's needed.
Thanks!

You haven't said what version of Windows you're running.
You don't need to do anything special to create a crash log; all versions of Windows keep this information already in logs. These logs typically keep information a long time, possibly all the way back to your installation of Windows.
What you want to do is to get into the Windows Event Viewer. On a modern system you can hit Start then type event log into the search box, then when View event logs comes up, click it.
A Photoshop crash will be in the Windows Logs - Application section as an Application Error.
You'll want to copy the textual description, which should include the Faulting module, and paste it here. Usually the Faulting module tells us what part of your system is failing.

Illustrator crashes when Photoshop open

This is on a new, clean OS install, Vista 64. This, in fact, is the 2nd full clean OS install I have done because of this problem.
Plenty of RAM, 4 GB. Illy and PS were rock solid on this same machine, same configuration before the OS reinstall. Now cannot work with PS open at all, since for like 10 years now I have jumped in between programs just fine, you can imagine I am hugely frustrated. Submitted so many crash reports at this point it isn't funny.
Tried different scratch discs, I haven't even loaded many fonts yet. I am at a loss...HELP!

Hi, Tim.
It is indeed the latest Wacom drivers, as you've already found out. I managed to reproduce the problem in Windows 7 64-bit after updating the Wacom drivers to the October release.
Curiously, Illustrator only crashes when you interact with its window using the tablet, not when you use a standard mouse, so it was fairly easy for me to trace the problem to its cause.
Hopefully Wacom will address this issue (I'll send them an email. I suggest you do the same), though their update dates suggest we'll be waiting months; just use the older drivers in the mean time.
Thanks.

Illustrator crashes when I use the move tool. No help here in the forums. Ridiculous problem that is so basic and that completly ruins workflow.

Illustrator (CS6, Creative Cloud) crashes when I use the move tool. No help here in the forums that I can see.
As far as I'm concerned this is a ridiculous problem that is so basic - it should not happen for the price Adobe charges.
Completely ruins workflow.
Please help.

Emily,
Just to make sure, are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?

CS4 Illustrator crashes when opening file

Just installed and updated CS4 web premium yesterday. Running XP on a PC. Everything seems to be working fine so far, except Ai.
I open Ai, open a file, and it crashes immediately, sends a report. Doesn't matter what file or from where or how. Just a crash report is all I get.
Does anyone know what I should be doing if I wanted to use Ai? I couldn't search out any solutions specific to this and am out of ideas. I've never had installation issues for quite a few editions going back to Macromedia and am out of ideas. Getting ready to dl and install my old FH11 this weekend if I've no fix by then. I'm not a big illustrator type of guy but an old project has come to haunt me.
Any help or ideas would be great.

Try this first make certain Illustrator is not running
Trash the settings folder the Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder in your User's Preferences as well as the com.adobe.illustrator.plist
also in the use's preferences folder then relaunch Illustrator see if that solves the problem.
The only problem here is that you are on a pc and I do not actually know where the user's preferences directory is so someone who knows the pc will have to assist.
The other thing it can be even though it would seem like it would not be such an issue is a matter of permissions and that would be if the Illustrator's application folder some how got it permission switch to read only for everyone but red write for the administrator and for you. That would make Illustrator look like it launches fine but crashes when trying to access something in a director without having permission for the application to use things like fonts.
This might upset Illy.
But I would think the preferences would be more likely. But I cannot direct you to them.
We really should have permanent post as to where to direct a user to the preferences and how to repair the permissions with both software and manualy.
So many things can go wrong I myself had an issue where I kept seeing the registration form after I trashed my user's preferences folder.
Each time I launched a CS 4 application I saw the registration form and no preferences were saved. All I really had to do is manually correct the permissions with the get info, this on a Mac you can do it on Windows as well, I don't know how. And all works fine now. It work ok before but was relly annoying.
We should have a permanent posting or a dialog with asking if you have tried the common fixes when you post a new topic. Could save everyone a lot of time. Perhaps one could turn the dialog off after two or three topic postings?
