Illustrator CS5 - a Designers nightmare program seems to get worse all the time.

Bug after Bug after Bug.......
Now I'm getting this message when trying to save a file:
Every other program on my computer (including CorelDraw) works fine..... even Photoshop works fine... it's JUST ILLUSTRATOR as usual.... any ideas??
Thanks.

If you need help you should tell us some info on what's in the file, how it was created, where it came from and what you did before Illustrator crashed. Also important: plug-ins, fonts, printer driver, networked volumes and maybe several other details.
As you might have guessed, your problem is not so common that someone has an out-of-the-box-solution.

  • HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

    I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes.  I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first.  I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive.  I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc.  I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

  • CS4 Program crashes  Premiere and Encore  ALL the time

    I have a Toshiba Qosmino with T2400 running at 1.83 Ghz, 4 GB ram at 1.83 Ghz, Windows XP Sev pac 3...Nvida Gforce 7300 video. no viris programs running. Do have approx 51 processes running. Have tried to shut down all possible process and same crashes.
    The two programs that crash all the time are Premiere and Encore CS4
    Premiere will start some times and sometimes not. One interesting point it seems to open with less crashes when other programs are running i.e Outlook, strange..... I've tried a new project, importing a CS3 project seems to make no difference.
    Encore crashes "EVERYTIME"... tried to import from Premier into Encore.. when the timeline is clicked in Encore it crashes. Tried a new project in Encore same problem.
    I have uninstalled CS3 and uninstalled CS4. Reinstalled CS4 same problems.
    All the rest of the programs open and run fine....
    any suggestions.... thanks!

  • F1 Key seems to be constantly pressed all the time but it is not the key

    My Envy DV7 was getting too hot so I decided to open it up and clean the fan myself ( After I cleaned the fan, It was very difficult for me to close it back, because the keyboard on this Pc is attached to the whole top so I had to take it to a laptop shop, so they can close it for me) When I finally got to close it the F1 key seemed to be pressed all the time when it is actually not, the thing is that it only happens when it first boots up after a while the laptop works just fine.

    It should only scan when you select the AirPort drop down menu. Anytime you do this it is going to scan for wireless networks in case you want to connect to one that has come online or gone offline since the last scan. That doesn't mean it is always scanning, it just means it is scanning anytime you use the drop down menu. This is normal.

  • I recently upgraded to ML and now I find that CS5.5 programs crash unexpectedly all the time. Help

    I recently upgraded to ML and now I find that CS5.5 programs crash unexpectedly all the time. Is anyone else having this issue and what's the best way to resolve this. Help.

    You might check and see if there are any Console entries about what happened when you attempted to launch a CS 5.5 app.
    Adobe links its apps with the particular volume on which it is running, and altho' I can't recall specifics, I know in the past I have had to reset Adobe's settings after OS upgrade. I do recall that it's a fairly easy procedure; just don't exactly recall what it is.
    BTW, CS 4 runs on Mountain Lion for me.

  • Illustrator CS5 is quitting before it opens. I uninstalled all of CS5 & reinstalled it-same result

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled CS5 (from the cds) to get Illustrator to open without quitting and that didn't work.  Photoshop opens fine as do most of the others.  There was one that didn't, but I can't remember which one.  I use Illustrator all the time and need help figuring out what to do about it. Help!

  • In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?

    In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?

    You would go into Preferences > File Type Associations and from the dropdown menu and choose "Browse" to get to Lightroom.
    So yes you can set files that Lightroom supports to open from Bridge into Lightroom.
    But I don't think you'd want to.
    Lightroom is a standalone product for a Photography workflow. Bridge is a manager for Creative suite products like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign. Basically web and print design workflows.
    Bridge is not a manager for Lr because Lr has it's own catalog system.
    Lightroom is not a Creative Suite product.
    Bridge does use Adobe Camera Raw to make adjustments, but move those adjusted files into Lr, you have to make a decision whose settings stay.
    This video should explain the difference.

  • I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    Yes.
    The only difference is the installation method and the ownership verification. The program still is installed on and runs from your local machine. You only have to hook up to the internet every 60-90 days to verify ownership.
    From the FAQ
    Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
    No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
    Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode."

  • Hilarious!! After CS5 install Flash Player crashes all the time

    Hi,
    maybe Steve Jobs is right. Mac Pro 10.6.3, 12 GB RAM, 3 GHz 8-cores, everything is running peachy.
    I install CS5 Premium Design Trial, while installing asks me to quit Safari and Firefox. It install Flash Player 10.1.
    Now Safari crashes ALL the time. Multiple sites, NYTimes, HuffPost, etc.etc.
    I wonder why Adobe is doing everything possible to make SJ right.
    De-install, back to old Flash, seems to work.

    They probably packaged it before the latest release candidate was ready.
    Anyway - it would be better to discuss that problem in a CS5 forum - is there one?

  • CS5.5 crashing all the time

    Flash CS5.5 has suddenly started crashing all the time. It's ridiculous.
    It's always about 2 seconds after:
    - Minimizing/Bringing forward another window.
    - Testing a movie
    - Opening/closing another fla in CS5.5
    This is with any fla file. It's incredibly frustrating.
    The window just tints white and I get a "____________ has stopped working", and my only choice is to close program.
    I am using Windows 7.
    I am really shocked at how progressively unreliable EVERY Flash Pro has been since CS3, despite being an industry standard.
    It's been incredibly useful to me since I first started using it in 2004 (MX 2004 that is). However, considering all my other development software, it is clear that it is by far the most unreliable.
    It is unacceptable.

    This answer resolved my issue.. WITH OUT HAVING TO REINSTALL ANY ADOBE PRODUCTS, I would give it a try FIRST (to avoid reinstallation/updates)
    The process that screwed up everything, I am ALMOST sure of it is....
    I just installed MySQL Workbench and tools package & WAMPserver (APACHIE Server & PHPmyADMIN, SQL Buddy) exc....
    It must have corrupted the JAVA VM so reinstallation of JVM and I also decided to go in to the FLASH.exe (CS5.5) "Properties" and clicked on to make the progrm to run as ADMIN and "Run in Compatibility mode" Win Xp SP3 just to cover my bases.
    I also jacked up my JVM.ini [C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\Common\First Run\ActionScript 3.0]
    FROM (-Xmx128m) *default* TO.....
    -Xmx256m
    In order to do it though Windows wouldn't allow me to just edit/save to the origional directory so I had to copy the JVM.ini file to the desk top/edit then copy it back to the origionating directory
    So my current configuration is this:
    INTEL P4 Duel core 3.2Ghz
    Win 7 (Up to date completely)
    4GB RAM
    6 HDD's consisteing in 4+/- TB's in space
    Adobe CS4^, CS5^*, CS5.5* ([*]Design Premium & [^]Production Premium) [Had to split the difference due to me not having the 64bit processor in my tower]
    Just figured I would actually post on here so other users may find my system specs and the resolution helpful if they are having related issues.
    Hope it helps somebody, somewhere

  • Why Why Why didn't i get warned about some of my super used all the time programs not working with Lion? I am so sad. What can i do about it besides buying upgrades for all the programs??

    I am so upset because i didn't research enough before upgrading to Lion. I can't use a lot of my pograms i used all the time now. I want to go back to where i was before Lion. Is there a way to do it without costing me more money?

    I didn't say the price was necessarily a drawback; just thought I'd throw my two cents in if the OP didn't want to purchase more software (as he/she alluded to in the first post).  Even if it's a small cost (in your opinion), the OP said they didn't want to spend any more money.  I didn't think about buying it on ebay; but that's a good idea.  Just keep in mind that the Parallels free phone support is only good for the first few months after purchasing a new copy, so if you're buying a used copy, you won't get free phone tech support.  I think they have per-incident support once the free period is over, though.  And they probably have forums you can use to troubleshoot any issues.
    Parallels can also cause a slow/laggy OS, which could be seen as a drawback.  Of course, you could always purchase more RAM if the computer does lag, but there's another cost.  I'm sure it doesn't happen to everyone, but it can happen, that I've seen.  Especially if the computer you install it on is an older one that barely meets the Lion system requirements to begin with.
    I agree with you; I purchase hardware and software for the future.  If my new iMac won't run software from 2004-2008, I guess I'm upgrading.  I understand when people don't want to upgrade, but after so many years, it's not really a choice. 
    I prefer the dual-boot method; it's cleaner (in my experience) than a virtual machine software program, and causes fewer issues with the main OS installation.  It's really just preference, though.  The OP can try both ways and decide which is preferable for him/her.
    What I posted was (as I said in my first post) just my suggestion.  I wasn't trying to override what you said about Parallels being the answer; just adding a new answer that I didn't yet see in this thread, in case the OP wanted an alternative.  Maybe I mis-read the defensive attitude in your post, and if so, I apologize.  But you seemed to be defending something that I wasn't truly even attacking to begin with.  I feel that the best choices are the most informed ones, and with more options, the OP can find the best answer for him/her.
    Have a nice day!
