Illustrator CS5 not responding during rendering

Hi,
I have a strange problem that I don't understand, maybe someone can help me?
I run Illustrator CS5 on a win7 64bits / i7 / 8 Go RAM / ATI Radeon HD 5470 and each time I want to apply a simple 3D effect (3D rotation), AI is freezing during the rendering... The aim is to do a disco ball by revolution of a half circle with a map art for the disco ball faces. Everything is OK until I try to change the disco ball perspective axis! Illustrator is not responding anymore and win7 ask me for closing the program.
I have already try different issues without success:
- change the scratch disk
- improve the performance : closing all running applications, simplify win7 display settings (disable aero,...), clean/defrag the disk, the register and memory, define a swap up to 24 Go
- ramdisk dedicated to readyboost, scratch disk of AI and swap
It usually freezes after 50% progression, with the optimized performance it goes sometimes until 90%...
Thank you in advance!

You simply have too many blend steps and it's running out of memory. Expand the "More" section to control that.

  • Illustrator CS5 "Not Responding"

    When working only in Illustrator and I try to save a file that I have open, illustrator "not responding" happens and finally responds after 30 minutes to an hour. This happens every time I try to use Illustrator for the past three weeks. I have uninstalled and re installed but no luck. Please any help or suggestions? New laptop and the rest of the adobe suite works fine.

    Nick,
    Did you reinstall using the full three step way?
    Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • My Mac does not respond during login

    I am using OS 10.5.2
    My iMac does not respond during login. After the desktop and dock are shown, the ball (cursor) keep rotating. I can do nothing except moving the cursor. All application including finder do not respond. Is there any solution?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi. Try doing a safe boot. Press the Shift button while turning on the computer. If you encounter the same issue, boot from the install disk (insert the disk that came with your computer and boot your computer while holding the C key) and repair the disk and disk permissions. Hope this helps

    Recently message when opening files Illustrator CS3 not responding.Takes forever but finally opens up.

    Plse Help

    Definitely, probably a font corruption and or font data base.
    Or a plug in or simply a conflict in your users preferences.
    There is a way to find out, drg the users preferences to the desktop with all applications not running.
    The restart he computer. Now see if all is well. You will have to reset many of the applications you haveand may have to reenter some serial numbers.
    Unfortunately there may still be other issues besides the users preference such as the font issue.
    It could even be something simpler it could be a cache problem for this user. You can clean things up with Cocktail, cost money, or Cache Out X which is free.

  • Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

    Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
    So on to the issue....
    I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
    However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
    Is there a way to fix this issue?
    Thanks for you help.

    Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
    Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

    I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can  change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

  • AI CS5 not responding, Win7

    Hey all: I'm at my wit's end. I've got my IT dept trying to get this sorted out to no effect.
    I've got a PC running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, with a 2.8ghz Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM. I've got over 350GB open on my drive.
    A fresh install (after running the adobe uninstaller) of CS5 will leave me with a "Not Responding" hang up if I try to open (via double-clicking a file OR the Open dialog box), or if I try to make a new document.
    One clue I noticed was that during install the installer threw a warning about not meeting minimum specs, just for Illustrator. The system has more than the minimum processor, RAM, screen resolution, and all the other specs, so I'm not sure why it would think it did not. That leads me to wonder if that's a symptom of whatever's wrong.
    This is a new job and Illustrator is my primary work environment, so any help is greatly greatly appreciated!

    I have just deleted the plug-in and illustrator now appears to work - seems that the plug-in was causing the problem.
    Am about to re-download and re-install the plug-ing and see if the problem happens again...

  • Illustrator cs6 not responding at startup

    Hi, when I run Illustrator, starts with the logo and loadings (until here all ok) and when the program starts (after finishing all the loadings of plugins, fonts etc) I get only white background, no interface, nothing, just white space (in both 32 and 64bit), see here http://tinypic.com/r/35lhjd5/6 and at the top (in the title) says: Illustrator not responding.. any ideas?
    I have an Acer laptop Win 7 Home 64bit and am using Adobe Application Manager.
    I have remove all adobe programs and folders before the installation and also I used the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe.
    I have try some steps from the forums like:
    1) run as administrator
    2) uninstall and install again Illustrator
    3) run Illustrator without antivirus
    but nothing, again the same.
    I haven't delete the Illustrator settings file to reset the application (because I don't know which file to delete) see screenshot http://tinypic.com/r/2gw9bgw/6 tell me please which is the right file to remove.
    BTW all the other programs (photoshop, flash, etc) works without any problems, and everything is up to date.
    I have some double fonts (I read somewhere that maybe there is problem with duplicated fonts) Arial regular exists 3 times (in the preview C:\Windows\Fonts), and some Helvetica fonts, is there any safe free tool to remove duplicates?
    Thanks in advance.

  • ID CS5 Not Responding upon Packaging

    Hello,
    For some time now, (Since my upgrade from CS4 to CS5) when I attempt to package a design file it often crashes ID. (Not Responding) I'm running a 27" iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.7 with 8 GB ram.
    It will generally allow me to go as far as selecting what to package. Fonts, Images, etc. I found if I deselected the fonts for packaging, it will usually collect with no problems.
    I figured it was some font issue hanging ID. Of course I have repaired permissions and ran disk first aid just incase it was a machine problem. All clear. I also ran FontDoctor which found no errors.
    Here's where things get strange - If I leave open the Force Quit Appications window and then package a larger catalog file, even with fonts unchecked, the Force Quit Appications window will show InDesign alternating between not responding and responding. If I allow this to go on long enough, it will generally output the collected file...or crash entirely. ID looks quite unstable on my machine during this process.
    If ID hangs long enough, a report is generated, which I dutifully send along to Adobe. Has anyone heard of this strange and annoying issue. For the record, it never happened to be on any previous version of ID. Only CS 5, and yes, I ran CS 4 on this same machine - no packaging issues.
    Thanks for any advice.

    The hang reports are not the same as normal crash reports. They are analagous to running Sample Process in the Activity Monitor, but they are a more vague indicator, telling you statistically all the things ID was doing in the period of time sampled, but leaving the human to guess at which was problematic, which may not equate. Whereas when there is a crash, generally it's clear exactly which routine was at fault, though of course sometimes it's not obvious why.
    I'm not sure why you don't see the crash logs as well. But fear not, I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to see them again unless the problem is solved.

    That is, the packaging code called the EPS Page Item code, which called the Photoshop Import Filter, which called the AdobePSL library, which ultimately asked the system to allocate memory.
    This suggests that the problem relates to some particular EPS file you have in your document (not a font). So I would try process of elimination with such files (divide and conquer). Save As to a tempory workign file. Delete half your images or half your pages. See if the problem is solved. Lather rinse repeat. Of course, if the problem is not 100% reproducible, this is a big pain. Still, it's the way to track it down.
    I suspect that AdobePSL is the Adobe Photoshop Library, though that's inconsistent with the finger-pointing at an EPS file. I wouldn't expect PSL to handle them at all, and would expect PSL to be used for PSD files primarily. But still speculating.
    Anyhow, there's quite a lot of stuff going on in PSLInsertGuide. I have no idea what that function does, but it seems weird to me that EPS files would have guides at all (PostScript has no such concept!), though of course postscript files (and Photoshop EPS files, and Photoshop PSD files) might very well. If you figure out what file it is, determining if there's something strange with guides in it might be helpful.
    As for your screenshot...it's tough to know what's necessarily relevant. The complaints about scripting additions are presumably because you have a non-Intel version of some Quark scripting addition installed. You can certainly try removing it, but I'd be surprised if it helped.
    malloc() failing is fascinating, especially correlating as it does with your hang report. malloc() is the routine C programs call to allocate memory dynamically. Anywhere from a few bytes to much much more. If malloc() fails badly enough to log to the console, I would have expected it to crash the program hard, rather than just sitting there spinning between 11:37:42 and 11:39:40. There's no accounting for taste.
    malloc() is calling mmap(), a routine which controls the relationship between virtual memory pages and...other things. It's apparently doing so with a size of 802 megabytes, which is the sort of thing that's not expected to work and probably indicates a bug. And it gets back error code 12, which is:
    $ grep 12 /usr/include/sys/errno.h
    #define ENOMEM   12           /* Cannot allocate memory */
    Not a shocker.
    Anyhow, there's some food for thought.

  • Adobe Bridge CS5 Not Responding

    Periodically I will click from one folder to another folder in Bridge CS5 and it causes Bridge to freeze and give me a "Not Responding" message. I have never had a problem when running a batch or image processor through Bridge, just when clicking from one folder to another folder. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? If someone could explain it to me in a very simplistic form I'd appreciate it!

    If you are building cache when you go to a folder, a spinning arrow in lower left corner, and then click on another folder before the process is finished Bridge can balk.  You can get a contaminated cache to foul things up.   To rebuild the cache for a folder click tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.
    You might compact the cache (edit/preferences/cache) to reduce its size and make it run more effeciently.

  • Illustrator CS6 "not responding"

    Illustrator CS6 (MAC OSx) constantly freezes for no particular reason, and states "not responding", leaving the only option to "force quit" and restart. I have tried resetting the preferences and various other options, with no success. Is there a way to fix this?

    I am using a Mac Mini, with MAC OSx, and a Phillips screen. There does not seem to be a pattern that I can decipher that helps me figure out why Illustrator CS6 does this.
    Here are a list of some of the times it does this, and a few things I have tried.
    When opening Illustrator, I then create a new document. If I choose the default setting  (Print / A4 etc) then it opens a new document without a problem. If I however change the settings to web, it freezes. If once I have a blank print cmyk document open, I then try to open a previously saved illustrator file (.ai) of any variety - big or small, old or new, print or web etc, it freezes. When I say it freezes I mean that it won't do anything, and on clicking on the icon, it says Illustrator not responding. This does not change over time. I have waited hours to see if anything changes. It does not. I have to "force quit"  and restart it.
    Other times, I have tried to directly open a previous illustrator file / document from finder, with illustrator closed, and it does the same "not responding" after it opens illustrator
    I have tried opening illustrator, and then opening a previous document from the file > open command. It also freezes at this point.
    But then there are times when illustrator opens, and opens files (big or small, print or web, old or new) without a problem, and I haven't seemingly done anything different.
    Other times that is freezes are when moving the swatches panel from one side of the screen to the other, with a document open (any type of .ai)
    I usually work in .ai files, but have had the same problem with .eps and png's etc too.
    It has also frozen when embedding a png image into a .ai doc.
    In general my documents are not large, they average anywhere between 200kb to 2.5 MB usually.
    I have tried switching off my computer and rebooting it, still no luck
    I have tried closing all programs, and only opened Illustrator, still no luck
    I have done software updates with no change.
    I have tried resetting preferences by holding down the shift, cntrl, apple, alt keys on opening. This has helped once or twice, but I have had no luck with it for the past few months.
    Does any of this information help?
    My next option is to delete and reinstall illustrator, but I am a bit nervous to do that in case I have other complications with installing it for a second time.
    Happy to answer other questions, just not sure what other info would be helpful.
    Any advise would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Not Responding (Freezing) When Working With Other Programs

    Hello,
    I have a performance issue with Premiere Pro 5.0.3 version. When I have the program open and bounce to another program or Windows Explorer window lets say to drag in an asset such as a music or video file and then when I make the Premiere window active the program does not respond for a good 15 seconds, then after some processing (you see the mouse icon change and hear the hard drive chugging), I am able to again work. This is happening every time I switch windows to work on something else. Even if I just click away to another window and click right back without doing anything else, it does this non responding action. It even says it in the title bar (Not responding). I am wasting so much time waiting for the program to respond.
    My system :
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Intel Core i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80 GHz
    8.00 GB of RAM
    Quadra 5800 Nvidia graphics card
    Drobo Pro 24 TB drive (where my project files, music & video files live) connected via iSCUSI
    Sonnet 4 TB raid drive (scratch disc) connect via ESATA
    Dual Monitors
    Please help!
    ~ Doug

    Doug,
    Similar had plagued earlier releases of CS5, but I thought that it had been addressed with the CS5.0.3 update. Maybe I am wrong.
    There were several other threads here, with similar problems. Maybe they contain some tips that will help. The "constant" seemed to be shifting focus from PrPro, and then back to PrPro.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 Not Remembering Last Settings & Crashing

    Hello
    I am using the latest version of illustrator CS5 on a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo, the rest of my Master Collection work ok except illustrator
    Firstly, when ever you quit illustrator it crashes and asks to send a crash report
    Second, when you reopen and go to File > Open Recent, there are no previously worked on documents in the list
    Thirdly, when i set up the units in inches for example then reopen it the next day, it goes back to milimeters??
    Does anyone know how to amend this problem? Apart from that it seems to run fairly smooth
    Thanks

    To add to this in case your trash the settings folder and it still happens you have to right or control click on the settings folder in the preferences and go to Get Info and look for Ownership and permissions and you can change it there to read/write.
    But when you do so click on the lock icon at the bottom of the Get Info window and then enter your username and password at the bottom of the Get Info there is a gear like icon with an arrow head facing down it will allow you to apply the change to all the contents in the settings folder to read/write.
    To find the Settings folder
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS5 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.

  • CS5 - "Not Responding" message when saving large files??

    For quite some time now, I have been getting a message in the Save Progress Bar Dialogue that says "Not Responding" .... after I start saving a file.  The progress bar will advance about 20%, then it will say (Not Responding) in the box.... and then it will disappear and the file will save.
    It's very disconcerting to see this error pop up time-after-time when saving files.
    I also get this error when opening certain files.
    Anybody else get this error?
    The files may typically have several 'placed' files from Photoshop.... which is another topic and unresolved problem with Illustrator too.
    Anything to worry about??
    Thanks.
    Oh...
    I have an Intel i7 with 12gbs of ram, a fast SAS boot drive, and plenty of bells and whistles in the 'power' department.
    Todd

    Have you already tried saving the file to a different location (maybe on the other drive)?
    Just to find out if it's Illustrator or the drive.

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.
