Illustrator crashes when I invoke the Place command

Up t this morning Illustrator was working as expected, but all of the sudden it keeps crashing when I try to place an image, at first I thought it was the .psd file I was attempting to place, or perhaps there was an issue with the Illustrator file itself, but after repairing permissions, restarting in single user mode, trashing preferences the issue still remains and now all needed is for me to nvoke the command, it stays there for a second or two and then it crashes.
I really don't want havng to go all the way and reinstall so if someone knows a solution to this, please help.
I'm running CS5 with the latest update on Mac Snow Leopard. I have 32gb of RAM so I don't think it's a memory issue.
Thanks!

Nothing different, I haven't updated anything in fact I was working with the same file when I tried to place the psd link and all of the sudden it crashed, so I restarted it and kept crashing from there.
I tried new epty documents to place anything random and keeps crashing, super weird.

Illustrator crashes when I try to place .psd file

What can I do to stop illustrator from crashing when I try to place photoshop files

Happens with a certain .psd - open .psd in Photoshop and resave over the same file. Can flush out corruption.
Happens with all .psds - update illustrator (eg:. 16.0 to 16.04) reset your illustrator preferences.

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)?

Illustrator Crashing when using the "Place Image" Command

I my efforts to keep my software updated, I ran and installed all of the Adobe CS 3 updates this morning. Since then, any time I attempt to use the Place command Illy immediately crashes. I don't even get far enough to tell it what I'm trying to place, so I don't think this is can be the image I'm placing.
When I have had issues with Illy in the past, reinstalling from the original disk seemed to fix things, but not this time. I have reinstalled twice now, but it changes nothing. I can copy and paste the images in just fine, but I cannot use the place command without a crash.
Any ideas anyone? I really could use some help...
Thank you in advance for your time -

Nini's probably right. But I remember having the same sort of trouble in Illy5. There was some sort of conflict between Acrobat and Illy so that when you had been using Acrobat and then switched back to Illy it became impossible to place images or select already placed images without Illy crashing. The crash was so pervasive that you had to restart your machine to get things back on track; it wasn't enough to just restart Illy. We never discovered the reason but the problem disappeared on upgrading to Illy6.

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 ?

I know this isn't really the right place to ask, but could someone explain why when I open Portal 2, that I got off steam and spent a whole day downloading, keeps crashing when I click the Campaign/Single Player mode. It Freezes and then crashes. Help!

Uhm, why don't you go to the right place, then? There are several Steam/Portal forums out there...

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.

Scripting to load all pdfs in a month into the place command?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows of a script that allows for you to place all pdfs within a set date range from a folder into an InDesign document? I am looking to do my monthly report and each month I have to go out and get each one, would be nice to load the place tool with all the pdfs I have done with a set date range and then just place them accordingly. Is there something out there like this and/or am I missing something obvious?
Thanks!

IM Sorry tomaxxi, am I suppose to be inputting something somewhere here in
regard to the dates? I would need an example like for lets say the month of
Nov. I try to paste this and save it in the script editor but it keep
saying that the file cannot be saved. Any ideas? Please bear in mind your
speaking to a guy who has like zero knowledge when it comes to scripts.
Best regards,
Robert

Subject:    Scripting to load all pdfs in a month into the place command?
Sorry for delay...
I just tested script and it's working fine for me here.
I created 4 sample PDF-s with just one page, then started script,
selected exported PDF-s, script sorts them by creation date and loads
placegun.
So, all you need to do, is to start script and select documents you want to
place.
I changed script little, so make sure you use this one:
if(app.documents.length != 0){
    var myFiles = File.openDialog("Select Files:", "*.pdf", true);
    if(myFiles != null){
        myFiles.sort(function ( a, b )
                if ( a.created < b.created )
                    return -1;
                if ( a.created > b.created )
                    return 1;
                return 0;
        app.activeDocument.place(myFiles);
    }else{
        alert("No files selected!");
}else{
    alert("No documents opened!");

InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's

InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's - I'm running it on windows 7.0
I've tried several different PDFs all with the same result
Any ideas?

This sounds like it might have been a problem with the selected import options (for example, setting a crop option for a crop box that isn't actually defined in the PDF). These options are "sticky" until changed, so when you have a problem like this it's a good idea to try again and show the import options.

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.

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.

Hi
Im trying to place a illustrator eps onto the second page in my document, but the "place"
command doesn't seem to work, I see other people are having issues with getting it to work also,
is their a sure fire way to make it place the requested file?, if so what would it be, ive tried all sorts of combinations,
all of which fail, with (most of the time) ID doesn't understand the "place" command?, I have seen
that you can call a javascript that will do this but I know zero about javascript, any help welcome.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate
set myFile to "Macintosh HD:Users:PATH TO EPS"
tell my document
place alias myFile --on page 2
end tell
end tell
Cheers

You need to have a picture frame to place the art onto. You should label the frame. Then you can use the command"
place alias myfile on page item "box" of page 1 of document 1
Or if you don't want to use a labeled box, you can do something like this:
set myFile to choose file
place myFile on page 1 of document 1

Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
Thanks.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Firefox crashes when opening and the crash report I get is Firefox 3.6.3 Crash Report [@ strlen | nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ].

Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox. It crashes with the above crash report every time I open. I came across the bad image error and did a clean reinstall multiple times and that did not help. I have firebug and firecookies as an addon.

Usually doesn't immediately crash, although that happens also. Usually hangs, then crashes.
Addons are WHY I use Firefox when it works. I am NOT on the bleeding edge any longer. I could go back to boring, boring, Chrome.
