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.

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.

Illustrator CS6 does not store the last opened files

I need Help,
Illustrator CS6 does not store the last opened files.

THat indicates a permissions issue on your preferences file and/ or your files are stored on some external or network device that doesn't use persistent file paths. Look into that.

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.

sana,
You may try to Move the folder.

Illustrator CS6 is not saving files properly.

I'm having issues with Illustrator CS6 (16.0.0) saving my files properly. Let me give you some background here.
I work for a company that manufactures fishing lures. I have to create the product cards that these products are to be packaged. I use Illustrator CS6 to create my cards and I save a master file that includes the original text. From there, I save the file as an Illustrator CS3 file since most printers I dealt with don't have anything versions higher than CS3. I take these cards and convert the text to an object so that no one has to deal with fonts or mismatched font errors. After this, I create a PDF of that same file so that my contacts at the print shop can see the card files and keep a reference for themselves. On several occasions now, I've gotten emails from my clients saying that they need the necessary fonts to print these cards. I check my files that should now be all objects and its back to being font text again. I double check these files beore sending them but if I should have to close out these files and work on another project, then come back to files I've working on. The objects are now back to fonts again. All the while, I'm saving my progress. I've been bitten too many times on this in the past, so I'm a saving freak.
I'm using an iMac (2011) 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 16 gig of RAM, 2 gig AMD Radeon HD 6970M graphics, several hard drives (most being network drives) including the 1TB HD that came with the computer, MacOS 10.8 (Mountian Lion) - the same occurs with any flavor of MacOS 10.7 (Lion) too.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Wayne

Wayne,
You have used Type>Create Outlines, with no live Type left behind (after saving the original artwork, of course), no?
What if you Save As PDF, thus embedding the font(s), and they take it from there?

Illustrator CS6 does not honor Full Keyboard Access setting

Why does Illustrator CS6 not honor the Mac system setting for Full Keyboard Access? Under System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, I have Full Keyboard Access set to allow the Tab key to cycle between "Text boxes and lists only". But Illustrator allows the Tab key to focus on all controls, including buttons. Is there a setting somewhere in Illustrator to change this behavior?

You can try to edit the keyboard file, but you need to find out the code for the Danish keys.

Mobile Sync Client does not save password properly

The Mobile Sync Client (simple_sync_android application provided with Oracle DMS) does not appear to save password correctly. When you select the checkbox to Save Password, my guess is that it stores an encrypted password but then does not return the decrypted version of the password. As a result login fails with the error
Encountered error: Server error, id = 2,001: "USER_INVALID in external auth; logon denied."
For details, check out the "My Experience" section at http://oracledms.blogspot.in/2012/08/sample-app-step-2-install-mobile-sync.html
Obvious workaround: Type in the password again and click Sync

HT1379 Why Adobe Illustrator CS6 does not open on startup

I just downloaded this from Adobe Creative Cloud membership. All other apps work except this one.
Any clues?

System requirements... Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Core Duo processors do not support 64Bit. Essentially, if you can run OS 10.7, then CS6 apps are fine. Your machine won't run 10.7 (due to lack of 64bit support). You need a Core 2 Duo or better. If you do indeed have an Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro, it's much older than 3 or 4 years. The Core Duo MacBookPros were 2006 machines.

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?

I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator image does not appear properly.

I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator logo does not appear properly. The logo has a light blue color background with a black to white gradiant over it with a multiply designation set at 100%. I flattened the logo in illustrator before importing into InDesign. When the pdf is created, the blue background of the logo drops out and the only thing showing is the graduated screen of black. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Thanks for your reply Peter,
I'm on Mac OSX (10.5.8) using Acrobat 7 Professional and Acrobat
Reader 9 to view the pdf. I created it by exporting. Attached is a
screen capture of the letterhead. Since I posted, I sent a test pdf to
my partner's computer eventhough it didn't look right on my system and
she said it looked fine to her. I've restarted my computer and tried
again and still get the same results.

Javascript not working with 'Display as Text (does not saves state)'

Hi,
We have these following items in P3 of our application,
P3_EDIT_ACCOUNT Display as Text (saves state)
P3_USEFUL_LINKS Display as Text (saves state)
P3_LAST_APPROVED Display as Text (saves state)
P3_ARCHIVES Display as Text (saves state)
And we are initializing these items in a pl/sql process under 'Page Rendering'
For example,
:P3_ARCHIVES := '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> ';
When our environment was upgraded from HTMLDB1.5 to HTMLDB2.0,
instead of displaying the proper value of :P3_ARCHIVES,
it was displaying the tags,
i.e. instead of displaying 'Archives', it was displaying the whole
'<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> '
So, when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)' and it was working.
But then we have another problem,
We render the rest of the same page with another pl/sql block,
Here is a portion from that pl/sql for your reference,
htp.p('
<script>
//Script to check the status change.
//The script source is rendered through PL/SQL.
function checkStatus()
var promptStr = someString;
if(ans.toUpperCase() == "AMBER" || ans.toUpperCase() == "RED")
          var cnfm = confirm(promptStr);
          if(cnfm)
          do something....
</script>
htp.print('
<td width="5%" bgcolor="#ebebc5" height="19" align="middle" >
<input TYPE="radio" name="'||l_g_fnumber||'" value="GREEN"');
IF l_allow_update THEN
     htp.print(' onClick="checkStatus()"');
ELSE
htp.print(' disabled onmousedown="return false;"');
                    do something....
Now the issue is , when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)', the checkStatus() function is not getting called in the onClick
event of the radio button and hence the confirm window for the call to
confirm(promptStr) is not coming up.
But if we revert back the items to 'Display as Text (saves state)',
the checkStatus() javascript function is getting called properly but html tags are displayed against the items instead of the proper value (as mentioned in ********)
Please do let us know a possible solution to this issue.
Thanks & Regards-
Rupak

Thanks Varad for your response.
This is the error i am getting.
1 error has occurred
PLSQL anonymous block source type can be used ONLY with Display Text (based on PLSQL) item type.
yes i am using in the source..
I also tried with the PL/SQL Expression of FUNCTION in this case it is executing the query but once i run the page ora- 06550 error occured.
Thanks

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!
