HELP - illustrator cs5 error message when opening cs3 files

Has anyone else had this issue? Do you know how to fix it.
I just bought and downloaded cs5. When opening Illustrator cs3 files I get an error message: "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
Then it opens the file but I it is only line work (no fills, gradients, etc) and I can not do anything in the file. If I click an object the error message pops up again.
This is what it looks like in cs3.
This is how it displays in cs5
I cant find anything online about this issue. Also this occurs on all of my illustrator files, not just one.
any advice?
thanks

I think your current system should be fine for running Illustrator CS5. Please let us know if the original problem happens for you again.
I think your system is also fine for running Adobe Illustrator CS 5 but of course you are running the system as well and a browser and e-mail client…and perhaps Adobe Photoshop or Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word in which case I think there might be on occasion an out of memory issue and with a complex file you will lose your preview.
I have lost my preview as well on certain files and found that it usually is because I had trashed the preferences and forgot to set the scratch to a different disk other than the startup disk.
I have 16 GB of RAm and once in a while I still lose the preview.

Illustrator CS5 Error on Windows 7 64 bit, Uninstalled Illustrator CS5, Tried Re-Installing Illustrator CS5 on same pc new error

Hi,
I have been using the Adobe Creative Suite CS5 for a few years and haven't had a problem.
Recently, illustrator just would not open would get to initializing illustrator.exe and stay there. I tried uninstalling illustrator in the hopes it would fix it with a reinstall.
I got the download file and when I tried to open in to reinstall, I get this error "The file archive part of Adobe Illustrator CS5 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Illustrator CS5. Please download all parts." I then tried to download the whole Creative Suite and same error message occurred. I am not sure what to do or if I should just uninstall the whole creative suite and start fresh (would rather not because I don't want to lose my preferences and presets).
I am on Windows 7 64bit.
If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Uninstalls do not affect user-defined prefs and other custom files, but of course it may be a good idea to back everything up. A reinstall may be the only way to fix this. The error occurs because something else has introduced a flaky entry in the installer database and it goes looking for some file from a source that no longer is available. run the cleaner tool and reinstall everything after you have secured your prefs.

Default file type has changed for Illustrator CS5.1 - Please help!

I am using Illustrator CS5.1 and have just noticed that whenever I try to open a new document (file/New...) the document is a PDF instead of an AI file. How do I change it back to AI? - Not sure how it changed to PDF in the first place.

How exactly are you determining the file is a .pdf? What platform/OS version are you on? What file extension (letters after period) is on your files, what format does your save as show?
If your icon is a .pdf icon and clicking on the file later opens in Acrobat, then your file association is not assigned properly. On a Mac Command I on a selected file saved by illustrator, and change open with from acrobat to Illustrator, then click CHANGE ALL.
There are more possibilities to why this can happen, please answer the questions at the beggining of this post should you need more help.

Illustrator CS5 Crash, Need Help ASAP!

Hi, I've been using CS5 for about 6 months now on this same computer, and now, if I try to load a saved file, or start it up at all it crashes. The computer is strong enough to handle just about anything (specs below). The crash involved is weird, it loads up fine the files and all that, then all of a sudden it appears to close out, because my open tool boxes go away first, and I'm left without a error window... very peculiar. Let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response, I tried doing what you said, I'm hoping I deleted the right file, but Illustrator still is not working. Flash and Photoshop however, seem to be working fine. Here is the file I deleted: AppData/Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings\en_US*\AIPrefs

Illustrator CS5 Error - "Not enough memory to save the file"

Hey guys,
I'm experiencing difficulties in exporting website from .AI to .PSD using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows7 Home Premium 64bit. The error message says "Not enough memory to save the file".
I can assure you that i've got enough memory for scratch disks and my computer is powerful enough to handle this operation. The funny thing is that i am able to export the very same .Ai file using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows XP 32bit on different PC.
I've tried to find a solution online, but it gave no satisfying results so far. So, i think the problem comes from the operating system, but i don't know how to fix it... any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve.

Sad to say I'm running into the same problem with a 40KB file.....
(download the following file and use it)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/2.4_GHz_Wi-Fi_channels_%28802.11b%2Cg_W LAN%29.svg
File -> Open
Modify the file slightly:
doubleclick the image
remove the channel 14 info (the text block "14" & "2.484", the T shaped path, the dotted half circle path)
drag a square around the "Channel", "Center Frequency", "(GHz)" text blocks and hold left shift and press the left arrow until the selected items are tighter to the rest of the image
select the bold base line, grab the right middle point to shrink the line (dragging from right to the left) until 'intersect' shows up, then release
click the top left "Back One Level" arrow 2 times so that you are back to the top level (out of isolation mode)
File -> Export -> Choose PSD
Export Options (all default settings)

POOF! ERROR!

"Adobe Illustrator cs5 quit unexpectedly" error message.
After I upgrated my imac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks I can't open Illustrator CS5. (No problem with PS)
Every opening attemp crashes. May this be possible because of third party plug-ins. (eg. Esko Artwork)
Help pls.
Thank you.

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.

Error 101 ~Photoshop CS5.1

I have the same problem except I have Vista 32-bit operating system. On my C: drive, I have 85.6 GB of space left. (Which is more than enough space) And on my D: drive, I have 106GB out of 106GB left. I had already installed Photoshop CS5.1 before but my computer crashed so now I'm back again and it giving me Error 101.
Please don't tell me I have to re-boot my computer and start the download all over again because I have a dial-up connection and it took forever to get to the process I'm on right now. Please help!
*P.S. I already closed out the Download Assistant and re-opened it. It didn't work...But I do have YouTube downloads running but I have to re-boot my computer in order to make them stop because they froze up.*

It did the same thing for illustrator CS5.1 too!

Though this is the same response, as in the other thread, I am adding it here, in case someone else finds this thread, and not the other one.
Here is a CHECKLIST for general installations of most Adobe programs. Did you do anything differently?
Especially with a dial-up connection, I would advise against multi-tasking, while downloading. I would give that same advice, when installing. Just do the installation (with everything else shut completely down), until all is up and running correctly.
As far as available HDD space, it can take more to install, than one imagines. First, one has large download files. Next, those have to be Extracted, and then some working files created. Last, there is the installed program, itself, which will be much smaller in footprint, than all that goes into the download/install process. When all has completed, those Extracted files and working files will be deleted, or should be. When all is runnng fine, one can then delete the download files.
Also, if one is using dynamically managed Windows Virtual Memory (Page File), that can grow quite large, when the installer uses up its allocation of RAM, so what one saw at idle, for available HDD space, might shrink under load, fairly drastically.
Good luck,
Hunt

Anyone know this error message: Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 Update Installation failed. Error Co

Very new and very green to illustrator.
Have used only once or twice since i bought it.
Unfortunately when i need to use it now - it crashes
upon starting up.
I received the following error message:
Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7
Haven't a clue what to do!
Any help and direction would be most appreciated.

Updates can fail due to any number of system issue. They are more prone to failing if you alter the application in any way. On the Macintosh, popular applications such as Monoligual will remove application package contents and therefore cause updates to fail.
The easiest solution is to uninstall Illustrator CS5 using the uninstaller and then reinstall Illustrator CS5, then immediatlly run the 15.0.1 update.

Cannot install Illustrator CS5 on a Mac: Keep getting exit code 6 error

I have been having trouble installing CS5 Design Premium on Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 all day. Having been reading forums and finally was able to get everything to install (except Illustrator) by uninstalling everything, running Mac CS5 Cleanup Utility, then reinstalling. Still cannot install Illustrator for some reason. Tried contacting Adobe Online chat but they won't help me because CS5 is no longer supported. Keep getting Exit Code 6 (see below). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

How to fix 'An Unknown error has occurred" when trying to save an illustrator CS5 doc

Hi
I have just upgraded to a new iMac late 2013. After running a migration from my old mac to the new. I now have the following error: "Unknown error has occurred" when trying to save an illustrator CS5 doc.
How do you fix 'An Unknown error has occurred" when trying to save?
All help, most welcome.
Thanks
Marty
