Illustrator CS4 does not save an action set

In Illustrator CS4, english, under Windows XP SP3, english, I created a new action set and wrote some actions. It works. Later, I selected in the Actions menu the command Save Atctions... It opened a system' Save window, let me choose a folder and press OK, but does not do anymore else: without any word, it doesn not save a file. It does not hang, let me select folders, edit name... It seems, what Illustrator forgets about action.
How to nuge Illustrator CS4 to finish saving actions?

sana,
You may try to Move the folder.
Just deleing it may not be enough.
If that does not help, a reinstallation of Adobe Acrobat/Reader may.

  • Illustrator CS4 does not save anything

    I have been working on a file not very big around several megs. no images, just text. but every time i want to save the file. it gives a message of "cant save the file. cant print the file", that is for when i try to save as: .ai format.  and when i try to save it as: .eps it says,
    "An unknown error has occured" and it does not save. but on both cirumstances illustrator does not quit. it use to do that and illustrator would then suddenly quit.
    it does not allow me to save as any other file formats. except FXG format. which i never use.
    i know, it is perhaps some kind of permission or preset or somthing similar issue, which i dont know. i tried reinstalling illustrator countless times. this porblem always comes in some form or another. i am very frustrated, dont know what else to try except keep reinstalling it again and again.
    but that seem to be only working for a short period of time. then iam faced with the same thing again.
    for you info: i have windows XP SP3 home, with 8600GTS graphic card, 2 Gig ram, TB of space, 80 Gb for windows. everything else on my machine is fine. except when running ily.
    your help is much appreciated.

  • Illustrator CS6 does not save PDFs to artboard

    I have had this problem more than once. The first time it happened, I uninstalled AI and did a fresh install which fixed it for a short time. When I save a PDF out of AI, it does not save to the artboard constraints.
    This is a screen shot of my AI document which has 2 pages.
    When I save as PDF, this is what the file looks like:
    (Pg 1)
    (Pg 2)
    After the original file has been saved (incorrectly) I can open it and save it again and it will be fine. Any ideas?

    Here's my test of a similar file in AICS5
    and here's the PDF
    Got the same in AICS6 with the second artboard as a copy of the first as you've done.

  • Solved my Illustrator CS4 (Can not save file) issue (same as with Illustrator CS3)

    Using Illustrator CS4, if the OS default printer is turned off, Illustrator will crash when saving the file to a name/format other than what it was opened as. I tested this and it's true, the bug exists in Illustrator CS4 (and was referenced in a ticket in this knowledge base on the CS3 product).
    You'd think ADOBE would figure out how to DOCUMENT this feature!!
    Set your default printer to ADOBE.PDF and all will be fine!

    You do have to have a default printer how you were able to run Illustrator is a mystery unless they change this behavior in CS 3 which I was not aware of but perhaps it is something I forgot.
    But I for one am glad you discovered the cause and cure and that you posted it, I don't have the problem but thank you.

  • Illustrator CS6 does not save PNGs properly

    I have a problem with Illustrator CS6: anytime I try to export file to PNG, it saves a file of exactly 102 kb and the file is essentially empty. Is it a bug in Illustrator, or only I have such problems?

    I believ Illustrator works one at least two platforms so it is hhard to say wi9thout knowing your specs.
    But on the Mac it is working fine except that one can not export using the option to have a black or other color background if not already part of the file.
    Other than that it is working as expected.
    So I would say you have either a conflict or a corruption.
    If a corruption then try this
    PC
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    Mac
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS# Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

  • Why the "Actions" does not save the Overprint Black

    Hi!
    Ai CC 17.0.0
    Why the "Actions" does not save the Overprint Black?
    I can not create an action that will automate this time a very common activity?
    Why?
    Best Regards!

    I was just able to. I am in Illustrator 6 on a Mac OS 10.6. I started a new action and went through the menu just like your screen shot, chose my options and clicked ok, then stopped recording the action.
    I found to use the action I had to have something selected.
    I see that you are in Illustrator CC, perhaps there is a difference there. But for the record, on my system, it worked.

  • After importing received and set messages from Opera Mail, Thunderbird works fine but does not save sent messages to Sent folder, even though messages are sent

    I successfully imported messages from Opera Mail. Initially the Sent mailbox was not showing in Thunderbird. A quick removal and fresh installation solved that, but Thunderbird does not save the sent messages to the Sent box, where the imported Opera Mail messages are stored. Even though messages are not saved, they are sent correctly. The image attached shows the error message.

    Probably a name-confuse If you store sent on mailserver it has to have the right name. (subscribe)
    You could set up under Account settings / copies and folders (maps) Sent pointing to the right local folder.

    Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?

    I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?
    The file has 4 artboards with webpage designs. I tried to take two of the artboards, create a separate doc with those two, and save, but the result was the same.
    However, I am able to save simpler, smaller files.
    I need to not lose these files and I am afraid to quit and restart and lose my unfinished work.
    Any advice?

    What happens if you choose this option?

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Acrobat 9.4.2 does not save/export all graphic formats

    Dear all,
    Obviously i had my glass of wine to early! See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798630 for the whole story of my re-re-re-istallation of Acrobat.
    The installation of 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD was OK
    After update to 9.2 my tests displayed correct results for all desired tasks
    After the update to 9.4.2 i obviously did not test thoroughly enough (hence the glass of whine).
    Later it turned out that 9.4.2 does not save/export graphic formats:
    pdf (all flavours), eps and ps are exported correctly
    html (all flavours) export a html file and the image as jpg correctly
    jpg, jp2 does not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
    doc, rtf save issue error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file has been created"
    png and tif do not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
    xml table and xml export correctly
    txt (both flavours) are exported correctly
    Hence the only method i can get a picture is to export as HTML and through away the HTML... or: enlarge the picture as much as possible on the screen and take a screen shot.
    What is missing in this installation?
    During my re-re-re-installtions some Windows updates may have happened.
    Any help available for this issue?
    Klaus Daub e

    The story goes on and hopefully Adobe has an answer/fix for this
    There was an automatic update from 9.4.2 to 9.4.3, but the problem still existed.
    So I decided to uninstall Acrobat and re-install it for the nth time: start with the installation of 9.0 from TCS2, reboot, update to 9.2, reboot, update to 9.4.3 and reboot again.
    The result is very mixed (and this was alrady with the newly installed 9.0):
    Save as RTF or DOC creates RTF and DOC files - although the contents is not that useful.
    Save as PNG is OK
    Save as JPG, JP2 or TIF works, but it turns out, that the files are all PNG (although with the various extensions)!
    Creating a snapshot now works correctly. The clipboard receives a bitmap. However: although I have set the preferences for the snapshot to be of 96 dpi the bitmap gets the property 72 dpi!
    Setting acrobat.exe to be Compatible to XP SP3 does not change a jota.
    Keep in mind: on Windows XP things worked correctly for a long time. Switching to Window 7, x64 creates this strange problem.
    I need to start with Acrobat from the TCS2 DVD, because otherwise I do not get the correct implementation for working with FrameMaker.
    I'm very reluctant to buy Acrobat X, for me there are too many gimmics there (besides the costs).

  • My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module.

    My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure, highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X 10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

    Happy New Year!
    The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
    The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
    The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
    Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
    Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
    This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
    I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
    SUGGESTION
    Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
    Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
    Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
    Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
    Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
    Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
    The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
    If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
    If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.
