Illustrator CS3 freezes when saving! HELP!!

Hi guys. I was in the process of finishing my exhibition presentation boards 2 weeks ago for school. As i was doing that, i dont know what happened, but Illustrator CS3 stopped wanting to save!
When i click the save or save as button, the browse screen appears for a split second, and the disappears. The software is still in the save mode, on which i can't click anything else.. the only way to close it, is by CTRL-Alt-delete.
I can't save blank pages i just created or old files i saved a while ago..
Iv tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing..
any ideas on what it may be.

Worked for me too, cheers lads, just come on the forum and problem solved already
cheers

  • Illustrator CS3 freezes when saving or opening ANY files

    Yesterday while running Illustrator (13.0.0), Photoshop and AfterEffects (CS3 for all), Illustrator suddenly started hanging (spinning beachball) when I tried to save a small file. Subsequently noticed it would no longer open files, or save any other files - always spinning the beachball when opening or saving. Force-quitting says "Illustrator not responding".
    I trashed Illustrator prefs - same problem.
    I re-booted - same problem.
    Updated to 13.0.1 - same problem.
    No problem saving/opening files in other apps.
    Also tried running a previous install of Illustrator CS2, and now THAT has the same save/open beachball spinning problem, too! I've gotta get this running.
    Don't know what to try next, short of a complete re-install.
    Been running all CS3 apps trouble-free for 4.5 months, nothing new installed, no new fonts.
    Any suggestions?
    Mac OS 10.4.1, Dual 2.7 PPC G5, 4.5 GB RAM

    Donna - Fortunately I did get Illustrator saving and opening again, unfortunately I'm not exactly sure what solved the problem. I went through the routine of dumping prefs a few times, restarting, etc., but also added a string of expletives along the way, and eventually the thing just started to work again.
    I think the solution had to do with the expletives, but I can't remember the exact order in which I screamed them.
    Wish I could be of more help.

  • Ill. CS3 freezes when saving pdf

    Hello,
    Some weird behaviour I never had before. I restarted application several times and also restarted the pc, but to no avail.
    When I save to pdf, I do not get a dialog window with options and settings for creating a pdf file, but the program freezes.
    Cntr-alt-del shows illustrator RUNNING. When I choose End Program it says that ill. is waiting for a respons.
    Would somebody know what is going on here and how do I get out of this?
    Thanks,
    Robb

    lepke,
    It sounds like a hidden dialog box, maybe outside the screen. You may try increasing the resolution and see whether it appears. If it does, move it to the center before rereducing the resolution.
    A resetting of the preferences may also do it (if you Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup or Move the folder  with Illy closed).

  • Illustrator CS4 and CS3 freeze when saving a PDF as an AI file

    I'm trying to pull apart a couple of PDFs into layers to import them into After Effects. I do this all the time and it's a pretty standard thing which I haven't had any trouble with before, but for the last couple of days whenever I try to save the PDF as an AI file, the damn thing freezes - I get the washing machine of death (I'm on Vista), the program goes greyed out and I have to restart it, losing all the changes. I've tried the following, none of which seem to make any difference:
    - Saving to a different drive (C as opposed to an external USB drive)
    - Trying to open the PDFs in CS3 rather than CS4
    - Trying a couple of different PDFs
    I can't reinstall Illustrator as I'm not at the office until the new year and don't have the disks. The PDFs are small (300k or so) and so it shouldn't be their size making the machine hang, surely? I've attached a sample. Specs are - dual core Dell M6300 laptop, 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Quadro 1600 graphics.
    Any ideas would be very gratefully received....

    Sorry I haven't replied in a few days (I'm at my parents' house for Christmas, so not the ideal place to sort out Illustrator problems )
    This is REALLY weird. I was wondering whether Illustrator would be able to save PDFs (which are after all basically the same thing as AI files for this purpose) to get around the problem that way. I tried: it saved the thing fine. Next I tried saving what I'd just saved as a PDF, as an AI file. It saved it in a flash without any problems. (This is with the trashed prefs file - I haven't tried reinstating it, yet.) I've just loaded up a 14Mb AI file, and saved it again without trouble.
    There's only one thing I can think of that has been changed since the last time I tried this, when Illustrator wasn't working. This is something which was definitely affecting Word 2007: I've deleted a couple of network printers that were on nonexistent IP addresses. (Word wouldn't load anything, even the most basic of docs - it just froze; washing machine of death, grey screen, etc.) The default printer is thus now a Canon USB thing, which isn't plugged in either, but which Windows seems happy to carry on without. Word seemed unable to continue with the network printers installed, as presumably it was trying to contact them and failing. Could Illustrator have been falling into the same trap??
    Anyway, whatever the problem, it seems to be working OK now. Thanks both and hope you have a merry Christmas and New Year period.
    Best

  • Flash CS3 freeze when saving

    I bought the CS3 suite a few years back and since day 1, Flash will freeze every time I save on a file larger than a couple hundred frames. I asked around on other forums when I first started having the problem, found no working solution and resigned to it just being one of those things that I need to just deal with. But now, I'm doing an animation project for school that needs to be of a decent length, so it's important that I figure this out soon. The lag gets larger as the file size increases. My animation is only thirteen seconds long and already it takes half a minute to save the tiniest edits. I fear that it will just start crashing aftern a certain point. What I find peculiar, though, is that the freeze doesn't happen on Photoshop, Fireworks, or any of the other programs that came with the suite. Just Flash. Any suggestions?
    OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
    RAM: 4gb
    64 X2 Duel core processor
    The computer is from 2007 (Though CS3 is from about that time and it lagged back then, so I don't imagine that's the problem)
    I already tried:
    Running Flash without any other programs running
    Reinstalling
    Adding RAM
    Saving extremely frequently

    I haven't been clicking things fast. It happens when I try to save. It's not random. I've spent a decent amount of time on google and haven't found a solution. There are a lot of results about freezing and crashing, but I haven't found any on freezing due to saving.
    I know it should be fine, but that's what's weird about it. It shouldn't be freezing like this and it's at a point where it's not something I can ignore.

  • CS2 freezes when saving files

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit and suddenly my files freeze when saving. Runing version 9.0.2. Can anyone help?

    Photoshop CS2. When I work on a file and click "save" it freezes. If I click save as, using the same name it freezes. If I save it and number or change the file name it save correctly without freezing. i.e. Save 1.jpg' save 2.jpg etc.

  • Illustrator CS3 crashing when print on epson 2100

    I 'm newer to using illustrator CS3, actually when i print fron illustrator CS3 on Epson 2100 Inkjet it's crashing, application closed. I've trashed the .plist... i have created a new system account and the problem is resolved but after 4/5 press it is returned. Indesign CS3 and photoshop CS3 are ok. Mac OS X 10.5.4. MacPro.

    I am not all that great with computers so I apologize in advance for my ignorance! The first thread you linked seems like would help but I don't even know how to get to where it's telling me to go...
    "I had the same problem but this worked for me..
    remove adobe PDF PPD from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    then re start Illustrator and try printing again"
    I got to the OS/Library/printers but then after that... I just see all my printers... nothing that says PPD or contents. This may be such a stupid question for you guys but again I am not great with this kind of stuff so thank in advance for any help! I am already so aggravated with lion, I am considering going back... ughh!

  • Encore CS3 Freezes when Transcoding

    I opened an older DVD menu that was made in Encore CS2. I made some changes to it cleaned up orphan timeline and dead links and added audio to menu. When I tried to export it to DVD it freezes when transcoding and locks my work station. I've done this several times on CS2 but this is the first time I have done this in CS3 and I get this problem. I tried transcoding seperately and my PC still freezes. The encore preview menue is great. Does the program only transcode AVI or does it do AVI and MP3. I really dont understand fully what it does when transcoding because either it didn't do this in CS2 or it did but it was flawless so I paid it know attention. Any assistance would be great.

  • Safari freezes when saving to PDF

    Hi Folks
    Well... Safari doesn't freeze when saving a web document to PDF, but somehow, it gets stuck for many seconds and later it pop ups a banner which says that it can't connect with Server "Martin" (me, which I guess is the name given to the MacPro).
    So I'm using the MBP as "Desktop Computer" and conneted via FireWire to the MacPro. The weird thing is that I already unmounted the disks, unpluged the FireWire cable and turned off the MacPro, but the MBP still looking for the named server.
    I think that's because some sharing configurations, but I'm not sharing the Printer (I don't have one, so discard that ).
    So well... this issue is pretty annoying because I have to save as PDF many web documents and the "thinking" time of the computer by looking for that server is a big waste of time.
    Can anybody help me here?
    Thanks a lot!
    Ø3
    PS:
    Here is a pic if needed:

    Hey Linc it happens when I click on the PDF button. After a while, the pull down menu appears with the respective options, so it happens before the process of saving the file (selecting file type, folder, etc, and save).
    Hope this helps you to find something. I have not tried deleting the MacPro from the Sharing Propierties in the MBP and see if the MBP keeps seeking for that server. Will try that later and update here.
    Thanks for taking the time, man!

  • CS3 freezes when started on Mavericks

    CS3 freezes when started on newly installed Mavericks (from 10.8).  Last files are displayed and Regster window appears and then freezes up.  Necessary to Force Quit to get out.  I've "successfully" re-installed CS3 several times but the problem continues.  What gives?

  • Illustrator CS6 Freezing when opening existing files. Need Help ASAP.

    Hello There,
    I have the most current version on Illustrator CS6. When opening files, any file, it freezing and I have to force quit the application. I have deleted the pref file with some luck, it will only work for a short time. I have held shift+cmd+opt and this too will work 1 in 10 time. I've uninstalled illustrator multiple times. no progress.  I need a fix not a band-aid. I am on a mac running OS X 10.8.3. Is this a known issue? I have a co-working having the same issues.
    Any suggestions??

  • CS3 hangs when saving as PDF

    Having another issue today. When saving my file as Acrobat(PDF), the program just lock up. Only way out is to task manager and close down. Am running Vista Home Pro, Core2 Quad with 3gb memory. It had worked for about a week then all of a sudden, this issue. I have the complete CD3 master suite loaded and reloading/running the repair did not help. Anyone experience this or have an answer? Thanks in advance.

    I'll assume you're working on a Windows system.
    It's there, just off-screen.
    Have you ever had a second monitor installed or worked at a different screen resolution?
    Unfortunately, the PDF options dialog cannot be repositioned using normal methods (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2465666#2465666). Position information is buried deep in the Windows registry, so resetting prefs (and, possibly, even reinstalling Illustrator) won't help.
    Can you temporarily switch to a higher resolution or attach a second monitor? Once you have the dialog visible, you can pull it into your primary monitor area. It should then stay there after you restore your setup.
    Creating a new Windows user account and logging in as a new user might also solve the problem.

  • Illustrator cs3 very slow saving

    I use illustrator cs3 and for some reason it has become ridiculously slow to save files. If I export to some other file illustrator is very fast, but saving takes 1 or 2 minutes. I have turned off version cue and pdf clipboard settings, but didn't help.  I'm working on XP machine.

    It appears that many have viewed this question, but know one has a solution. I do have an update. I uninstalled CS3 completely from my "C" drive and defragmented all drives on my computer. I then reinstalled CS3 on my "D" drive. With a fresh start I then loaded both updates to illust cs3 which is now version 13.0.2. Extremely slow saving problem remains, however exporting to a .png works like a charm. Seems alot of people coming here for answer, but no luck. If I stumble on anything I'll return.
