Illustrator CS6 locks up every time I save file as an EPS?

As of yesterday I was not having any issues saving to EPS format. But all of the sudden, now I can't save any files as EPS as it freezes with the progress bar at 1% and then I get the spinning wheel for infinity.Works fine when saving as .ai / .pdf.
Anybody have any suggestions or fixes?

Reset your preferences.
Choosing another printer in your list , or update your .ppd if needed(this actually affects saving to pdf, so may possibly affect saving to .eps).
Run disk utility on your drive to fix permissions.

I am running Photoshop CS6 on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 and every time I save a large eps I can not open it again. I get this message when I try. "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript."

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

Every time I save I get an "Adobe Save For Web Error"

Hello everyone,
Every time I save I get an "Adobe Save For Web Error" that says "Could not complete this operation. An unknown error has occurred."
I haven't the slightest idea what to do or what happened but I can't save anything and it's starting to really frustrate me. Below is the system info:

LIke I said, I sure hope somebody can help me out.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.   The only thing I could think that might be causing this is the fact that I upgraded to Maverick (Apple OSX) about 2.5 weeks ago. But this problem didn't start until about 3 days ago, so surely that's not the issue. Anyway, figured it was worth mentioning.
Please let me know.
Thank you,

I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

Illustrator CS6 locks up when I choose File - New...

I have Illustrator CS6 on a Mac OSX 10.7.4. Every time I choose File - New... or press 'cmd n' it locks up and I get the dreaded spinning ball cursor. Any way to fix this?
Opening a file by double clicking on an ai file in finder is fine.

You did a Get Info on that folder and the Read/Write access is set to allow everyone access? Did you also check the parent folder (en_US) for the same access? Try going back up the line and allowing everyone access to the files and apply the same to all the enclosed files like this

I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this?

I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this? It keeps telling me that there are missing files, too. If I upgrade to Elements 12 or beyond, will this fix the problem?

You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.

PSE is locking up because it's looking interminably for the non-existent photoshop.com server.

Every time I save a draft it creates a new draft rather than updating thr dradt I am working on

While writing an E-Mail I may receive a call so I need to save the E-Mail. I click save and it creates a draft which is fine. I go back to add to the draft and must save again and it creates a new draft. Every time I save it creates a new draft rather than updating the old draft as it does on my other computer

Chris, my guess is you may be confused by one or more tilde files inside the project, a project file with a tilde (~) in its name.
If the project was begun in iMovie 4, the project resides in an iMovie 4 type-folder, not an iMovie 6 package. The folder lets you see the tilde file. For projects begun in iMovie 5 or 6, the project is a package instead of a folder. And you never see the tilde file, for the package looks like a file instead of a folder.
The problem is discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1971832&#1971832
My guess is you're opening the wrong project file to re-open the project. So when you save, it's saving a new tilde file.
The whole issue is rather confusing. Check out the topic, and if you can't get it straightened out say more about what's going on there.
Karl
PS: If you haven't yet, create a new iMovie 6 project, add something to it and save. To look inside the package, Control-click on the project (in the Finder) and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu. You will see one tilde project file and one project file without a tilde. That's ALL the project files you should ever see.

Every time I save a file it creates a new folder

Hi,
weird problem, never occurred on other Macs. I have a preso and every time I save it I see an Expander application running which creates a new folder file. Let's say I have a preso called Effects.key, when I save it or in auto-save it creates Effects.key folder,   Effects.key folder 1, Effects.key folder 2, Effects.key folder 3......an on and on and on....
What's happening ?
Thanks in advance

try this:
right click on one of the original Keynote files, select;   get info
in the Open With dropdown option; (if Keynote is not the listed), select other,
     then navigate to Keynote in the Applications folder
select; always open with
click add

Every time I save a file it copies it to the desk top as well.

Every time I save a file to either the internal drive or an external drive, it also saves it to my desk top...must be a preference somewhere to turn off but I can't find it.

Nope, something is malfunctioning, but we can reset it all easily.
Download the free OnyX and run ALL the initial checks, cleaning and maintenance aspects (except deleting the log files) and reboot at the end. (cancel in between reboots is fine).

Your machine will act a bit slow upon reboot until the caches and spotlight are rebuilt, but things should be straightened out.
If you get any drive warnings, make sure you immediately backup your files off the computer to another drive as soon as possible, return for further instructions.

Word 2013 hangs every time I save a file

Hi,
I have Word 2013 (15.0.4481.1508) on Windows 8 as part of Office Professional Plus (15.0.4481.1001) 64-bit. I'm saving to an SSD that seems to work fine. (Games load in seconds, all drive benchmarks report good performance.)
Every time I save a document however, Word rejects all user input (I cannot continue typing) until the "saving to disk" progress bar at the bottom of the window indicates that the file is done being written to disk. This takes several seconds to
complete during which the application is unresponsive.
Things continue works fine afterwards. It happens with documents of all sizes; 20KB, 100KB, 200KB. It feels as if saving was done on the main GUI thread, as opposed to a background worker.
I made it my habit back in Office 2010 to save every 5-10 seconds -- after every sentence -- but now I can't do that anymore because of this slowdown.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Hi Danien,
Apart from Word, have you tried the other applications? Such as
Excel and the other Office applications
NotePad
WordPad
Will this behavior also happen?
-a. If this behaivor also happen when save in Excel and other Office applications, this might be an Office specific problem
-b. If this behaivor only happen to Word, then it is a Word specific problem
For situations a & b,
try repair Office as a quick fix;
check the activated add-ins, disable them and start the applications again to determine if this could be caused by the 3rd-party add-ins;
For situation c, try start Word with the command line switch:
WinWord.exe /a
The /a switch will prevents add-ins, settings and global templates (including the Normal template) from being loaded automatically.
-c. If this behavior also happen when save in Office applications and NotePad and WordPad, then this should be a hardware compatibility issue

Stuffit, every time I save.....

Every time I save a numbers document, Stuffit briefly opens, and creates a folder "filename.numbers Folder" with a build history, a "quicklook" folder and an index.xml in it......
So if I save 12 times while working on the document I end up with twelve of these folders....
Ho do I stop that?
Thanks.

Hello
There is a preference checked by default asking Stuffit to expand the compressed files.
Alas, flatFiles generated by iWork '09 *_are compressed files_* so, it expands them on the fly.
Uncheck the box and you will get rid of this behaviour.

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

Preview locks up every time I try to print a pdf.

Hello all, got a problem that popped up this afternoon, hopefully I can get some help. I've been using preview since I installed lion last week without issue. This morning I was printing from it with no problem, all of the sudden now it locks up every time I try to print, I have to use option, command, esc. to get out of the program. I've been searching quite a bit and can't find a solution, would appreciate any help, thanks!

I have been having this issue as well - permissions settings (in other posts) didn't fix it.
I went into system preferences and set the default printer as a one of my brother printers instead of "last used" (which was pointing to my canon)... I can now print in Preview to PDF or my other printers but if i select my printer as the canon - it locks up again -so at least that narrows it down and i am now able to print to PDF (and my other printers) from preview. hope it helps somone to get access to other printers and the pdf functionin Preview (haven't checked textedit yet)

Every time I save a file "save as" my folders, etc. come up scrambled. I want them to be alphabetical every time. How can this be set? or done?

Every time I save a file "save as" my folders, lists etc. come up scrambled. I want them to be alphabetical every time. How can this be set? or fixed? I do NOT want to use Recent or click "set up details" everytime and then alphabetize the list, because this takes too long and too many clicks.
Yes, I want to be asked where to save a file every time.
I am using XP

Sure EVERY TiME you save you can click on details then name and then 3rd click to bring it up alphabetical ( which may be backwards Z-A) then save. And then the next time you save you can do again. I want it to always, forever come up alphabetical like everything does on my computer when i save things.
