Illustrator CS6 freezing (for up to an hour) when saving

I've been having this issue with seemingly random documents... It tends to occur when a document is even slightly complex. (By that I just mean it could have lots of text or vectored images. Nothing more complex than that. Even when the text is entirely outlined.)
Not all documents are like this. Most save just fine. Sometimes Illustrator freezes for a few moments, but yesterday one file took an hour to save. The first time I tried I waited 30 minutes but then force quit the application because I had to move on, but I lost all my work. I had to redo everything again, so the second time I just waited it out.
I tried trashing preferences like someone suggested on another thread here, but that accomplished nothing except me having to completely redo my preferences even though I put them back.
Any other suggestions?
This is what I'm running on:
Note: This could be unrelated but at this point I don't know - the server I connect to for work is very slow right now, and we've been having connectivity problems. I work from my desktop but then copy everything back once I'm done. Could this be affecting my computer?

Your server does play a very big part in this. Even if you are saving to your computer, and the server is connected, that can kill Illustrator. For us every 2 months or so, our server needs a reboot. We can tell be cause we get a spinning beach ball for everything, and once you hear other people complaining you know something is wrong. I dismount the server so I can work, and then log back on after the reboot.
So far you only mentioned saving is slow. Do a save as and turn off PDF compatible(on the second window), that will make you file much smaller, and you do not need that unless you are placing into InDesign.
Other things can cause this such as a bad font, font database or full hard drive. Have your peers had any similar problems? Update Illustrator to 16.04 if you have not and run disk utility to fix permissions.

Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open and running a video and a flash game. Why?

Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open, one playing a YouTube video, the other with a flash game running, and the screen shows the contents of both tabs, one superimposed on the other. If I have other tabs open, they also appear as visual garbage on the same screen. After the freeze, everything semi-works, starting and stopping, with long frozen hangs.The frequency of this problem is increasing and greatly reduces Firefox's operating capacity. I am using Firefox 5.0 on a Windows Vista desktop made by Hewlett-Packard. I have cleared the caches and the problem persists, and I can't find any online help to explain why this is happening. I don't recall it happening with a previous version of Firefox.

Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Illustrator CS6 Freezing (Mac)

Hey guys, Im wondering if any one has been experiencing these issues or if I am alone on this.
Illustrator CS6 has been consistantly freezing on me (pinwheeling) causing me to force quit. I first notice it happening when I left it open and unattended for half and hour or more. I uninstalled and reinstalled after removing prefs etc. It kept happening for various reasons esp when trying to copy and paste items. Now it happens when ever it feels like it.
I am running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4 on an iMac i7.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use Font Expoler, it works perfectly. I totally gave up on Suitecase, a piece of crap.
I was a long time users, more than 10 years.
Just get a demo first for free and see how it works.
Never freeze since swithched. And my MacPro is much faster now.
I like Suitcase interface, but I could not stand freezing so many times.
which will damage your system files with so many freezing problem.
Don't wait Adobe's fix, that's some kind of bugs in Suitecase.

Illustrator CS6 Freezes/Hangs on SaveAs

When I open a dwg file in illustrator or another AI file that I've exported from Rhino & try to 'Save As' in Illustrator, the application freezes and I have to kill it via task manager.
This problem started mysteriously about a week ago. I've spent countless hours troubleshooting & also tried a fresh install, but no dice. Please help!
INFO:
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit & an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card.
I pulled the following info from Event Viewer (let me know if I need to be providing other information & where I can get it):
The program Illustrator.exe version 16.0.3.691 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Hi guys,
Ok - fingers crossed, but the problem seems to be solved.
It was very strange bc when I opened up AI from scratch, drew a bunch of random shapes & tried to Save As, it worked fine. However, when I opened any file where the vectors did not originate from AI & tried to Save As, AI froze -- the AI save dialogue would not pop up after I input the file name and selected file destination (in the explorer save window).
In another forum entry (Re: Illiustrator CS6 crashes when creating New File) someone suggested changing the default printer, so I tried that & oddly enough it worked! Some of the printers my computer is hooked up to are networked & some aren't - I just switched my default to a non-networked printer.
If someone from Adobe could please explain what Saving a new file has to do with computer printer defaults, it would be really great to understand & might shed light on other similar issues.. thanks!!

SO to summarise:
Illustrator freezes on launch
Update not applicable so stuck at 16.0.0
No 3rd party plugins
All cache's cleared
Prefs reset
New account still has the issue (not permissions)
No known font issues - Tahoma&verdana etc
Ilustrator parts pulled back from timemachine when it was working fine but problem still there.
What the hell am I missing here?
As an added problem, I cannot use online activation due to our "security" so I am trying to avoid a complete re-install because it was a nightmare to sort last time - we have 6 machines to do - same issue.
Any takers please? The online "chat" help seams a little generic for this issue!!
I really need help
Really!
Really!
Thanks

Illustrator CS6 Freezing when opening existing files. Need Help ASAP.

Hello There,
I have the most current version on Illustrator CS6. When opening files, any file, it freezing and I have to force quit the application. I have deleted the pref file with some luck, it will only work for a short time. I have held shift+cmd+opt and this too will work 1 in 10 time. I've uninstalled illustrator multiple times. no progress. I need a fix not a band-aid. I am on a mac running OS X 10.8.3. Is this a known issue? I have a co-working having the same issues.
Any suggestions??
Aaron

Hi Owen,
tried
Can you please let me know which plug-in it was that you deleted?
I have removing every one that I have and nothing has worked thus far.
I deleted Vector Scribe Studio, FontExplorererX and that is all I had... still nothing.
What did you remove and/or update?
Thank you muchly.

I bought Illustrator CS6 DVD for Mac OS but cannot see install.app file on disk. Anyone know how I install the program?

Adobe Illustrator CS6 disk bought for Mac OS but when I run the DVD the disk appears but there is no viewable install content. I can't see an install.app file and the program is not automatically running. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

Are you able at all to execute the install file manually?
You can always try downloading tye installation instead of using the disc. Your serial number from the disc will work for the download.

Illustrator CS6 unavailable for students

I am a teacher at a school in Vilvoorde, Belgium. At the moment I teach Photoshop. Next year I am starting with Illustrator. Up until CS5 it was possible for students to buy Illustrator CS5 as a standalone package. Now Illustrator CS6 can only be bought in a boxed version (Design Standard is the cheapest at about 300 euro). Most of my students have already bought Photoshop CS5 at 240 euro. It is quite a problem for them to buy a package of 300 euro, of which they now only need Illustrator, which used to cost around 129 euro.
The school can still buy Illustrator as a standalone package, but students cannot.
Flash, DreamWeaver and Lightroom are still available as a standalone package.
Why is Illustrator treated different?
Yours sincerely,
Peter

It seems to me tha though it should standalone I am guess Adobe thought most people that buy Illustrator also use Photoshop and since the cost of the two are less expensive in the package and you get ID in the Design Standard why not give the stiudents the break.
And quite frankly since they probably will now need ID as well even if you do not teach it will be beneficial to them as they will have the latest version and if they wanted to upgrade CS 5 to CS 6 it cost the same as the student price so it actually seems like they woud be getting a good deal.
And if they wanted to pay by time they can get the subscription.
I( don't know if it is a good complaint or not. on one had they might save 150-170 euro but on theother had they might be loosing out on an opportunity. And maybe being on the cloud is a valuable thing for students who are much more modern and use to the idea of remote storage being able to download and use the software anywhere.
maybe it could be a good thing why not discuss it withe both customer support and your students and see how they actually feel about it

Macbook Pro Freezing for 3 Minutes Every Hour

I have a Macbook Pro with a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB of memory (1067 MHz DDR3), running OS X 10.8.4.
Within the past couple weeks, my computer has started freezing for about 3 minutes at a time, exactly one hour apart. The time that it freezes seems to vary slightly based on how many/which programs I currently have running, but as long as my open programs don't change, it always sticks to that schedule (e.g., for most of today it has been every 40 minutes after the hour, so 3:40, 4:40, 5:40, etc).
I looked at my console logs around this time, and it has roughly the same thing going on each time it freezes.

etc...
From what I can tell, it starts to freeze around x:40, and then it appears to start working again when the first I/O error is listed. It works for maybe 10 seconds or so, then freezes up again until the second I/O error, at which point it is fine for an hour.
Does anybody have any ideas about what I can do? Thanks in advance for any help.

Illustrator cs6 "this file cannot be found" problem when open file from network

I used to install the trial version of Illustrator CC on my desktop and then when the trial run out I decide to go with illustrator CS6 instead, So I decide to buy &
install Illustrator CS6 on our desktop and everything seem to be fine except
the problem is our .ai file is located on the network shared drive of the design team,
When we try to open the file from the network drive with illustrator CS6, it said "This file cannot be found"
- we try to copy the file from network drive to our desktop and file can open without problem
- if we directly double click the file from the network drive to launch the illustrator CS6 with that file. It's also fine, no problem at all.
- but if we open the illustrator CS6 first and try open.. and then browse to that file on network, then "This file cannot be found" happen again.
- Illustrator CS6 have no problem open file in the local harddisk.
- Illustrator CC never have this problem open file in our network drive, try reinstall the Illustrator CC trial again and it can open without problem
- I try using Adobe CC Cleaner tool to remove everything before reinstall the Illustrator CS6, still no luck.
- Try remove the Adobe relate folder in user/user/Appdata and then reinstall, still no luck
- Try right click and open with --> Illustrator CS6 , yes if we double click the file directly it's ok, but as mentioned if we open illustrator first then browse for the file, the problem happen.

Firefox freezes for a period of time when I try to fill out online info

When I begin to fill out forms on line, the first few letters show up but then Firefox freezes for 15-60 seconds before the next letter is entered and does this with all of the letters I entered after thel initial freeze which is just what happened. I have therefore gone to typing the information in Notepad and then paste in the appropriate area which is what I am doing now. However, outside of Firefox the rest of Windows 7 is responding. I thought it might have been a problem with my keyboard but after contact with Logitech and there recommendatons which did not work, I believe it is a problem with either Windows 7 and/or Firefox. I have not used IE yet so at this point I do not know if the problem exists there.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Firefox freezes for at least 5 seconds when opening context menus

Well I've been looking for a reason to switch to Chrome... I guess now i have one.
Problem: Firefox freezes for 5 seconds when opening context menus (screen goes gray for @3s)
Firefox 32
Ubuntu 12.04
I first noticed it this morning when I tried to open up a Bookmark menu. Continued testing and found that right-clicking(anywhere) caused the same behavior. There are tons of posts going back years of similar behavior (although I doubt they're all related), so I ran therough the standard troubleshooting steps (restarting firefox after each step):
* cleared the caches
* Lowered cache memory allocation
* Created a new profile (did not carry-over any previous bookmarks or add-ons)
* Restarted firefox in safe-mode.
* Reset firefox (from safe-mode command)
Restarting firefox with all add-ons disabled is not included here because that is assumed in 'created a new profile' (correct?).
Furthermore, when I went to reinstall I got the error: "E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the firefox package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package."
I don't know what happened over the weekend, but I guess I'll try a full manual reinstall, when I have more time to mess with it. FF has been a primary tool for development, but for now it's dead to me.
P.S. On an unrelated issue. Maybe I'm old-school, but I miss the original drop-down menus up top. I don't think there's anything wrong with improving on the existing model, but why would you replace something that's worked well for DECADES.

Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay in my rep[ly.
Today I tested the Linux-64 version (Firefox 33) from the link you suggested. There weren't any install instructions or a README, but based on the file-system layout I guess it just needs to be extracted. I downloaded and extracted to my Downloads directory and ran the executable via command-line as my user (not root).
Firefox popped up right away, but it was not usable for at least 30s. It asked to import from Chrome which I did (no errors). Every click on the top bar (address bar search, buttons to the right of search, bookmarks toolbar) resulted in a dimming un-dimming sequence of @7s, after which nothing (couldn't focus in the address bar, occasionally the bookmark menu would appear, but was not functional). Basically, it's un-usable.
As I mentioned in an earlier reply, I am having similar problems with Komodo which is apparently also Mozilla based.
Are there any logs I could tail and post that might help track this down?
Not sure what to do at this point.

Modified Date is off by 5 hours when saving files to External One Touch 4

Have Googled and searched forums here but can't find an answer anywhere, but please do direct me if I've just missed it...
I back up files via Linksys wireless server to a Sentry Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive (originally used with PC) without problem except for the timestamp. Modified Date is always exactly 5 hours earlier. For example, if I save a file to my Mac desktop and to the external hard drive at 7:05pm, then the desktop file properties will show a modified date of 7:05pm (accurate), but the external hard drive file will show 2:05pm (off by 5 hours).
Any ideas?

Thanks for the welcome and your speedy responses, Michael and Joey. Although my technical skills are limited, I'm sure the drive is still NTFS as I did nothing to update it from use with our PC since we still have one of those in the house using the hard drive (unfortunate, I know).
However, I did just try a cheat with the time setting on the Linksys wireless server. Although I had confirmed it was correct before, it hit me that maybe I could change it to GMT-England and that would result in correct timestamping. It worked! Of course, the PC will probably be off now when saving files, but I haven't checked that yet. Any other issues/problems you think I may encounter by doing this?
If not, then I can live with the cheat. Thanks again!

Illustrator CS6 freezing with more than one document

I have always had multiple files open at a time when using illustrator but all day today the program has been freezing everytime i open more than one document. I am able to use the program now if i only have one file open but it freezes as soon as i open the second file. I have restarted my computer twice and i have closed every other program on my computer and none of that helped. I have a macbook pro and i save all of my illustrator files on an external hard drive. As any one else experienced this?
Thanks for the help

Have you added any Illustrator plug ins or software recently, or enabled new fonts? Try working with some other doumcnets if you have not, to help narrow down if this is a global problem affecting all documents.
Create a new user account and log in as that
Run applications /utilities/disk utility and fix permissions
Is there a common image used in these doucments, may be corrupt and sometimes opening and resaving a .psd for example
