Illustrator I/O error when trying to save.

I am running Illustrator CS4 tryout on a windows xp machine and when I try to save a file I get a file I/O error.  I tried saving in other formats with no success.  Previous files that did save correctly can now not be opened either.  Please let me know two things is this a trial version problem or should I expect the same issues with a full version, and two: what the problem is.
Thanks !

They are referring to the Adobe Illustrator Settings Folder as per this thread
http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html
Just follow the link.
If that is not the problem it might be a question of having the directory in which you are saving the files set to the wrong permissions and ownership
on a Mac this is easy to fix though if it has to be done manually that can be time consuming there is way of doing this on the Windows but you have to look the method up on the web or hope someone here knows how to do this, sometimes you might find someone on the AE or PPro forum who knows about these things.

  • Error when trying to save a file

    I get this error when trying to save any file (newly created or not) word document in MS word 2010:"You are attempting to save a file type (plain text files) that has been blocked by your File Block settings in the Trust Center".
    I followed the directions given by the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 922850, but I am still having this issue. I can still save files as PDF but not in any kind of word format. 
    I also tried opening another file copy and pasting under a different name and it doesn't help.
    Please Help.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select

  • Error when trying to save a fillable form?

    Hi,
    My staff is getting an error when trying to save information that was typed in a fillable form. They are able to print but cannot save. The error message they are getting is: "Cannot Save Form Information Please note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in and print it." They have also gotten the message: "Save a Blank Copy of this Form Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
    This form was created in LiveCycle ES4. I have Adobe XI on my computer and I am able to save the form fine. My staff has Adobe 9 on their computer. Is there anything I can do so that they will be able to save the form on their computer once they have finished filling it out?

    And you can fill in and save an LCD form in Reader, if it has the appropriate rights applied to it in Acrobat before-hand.
    I thought The latest Reader XI (regardless of Platform) had the ability Print and save with or, without reader rights. That what I've been reading on this forum ever since reader XI came out.

  • 'System Error' when trying to save Form Manager Registry Settings

    Hi,
    trying to save changes made in the form manager registry settings [Home > Services > Adobe LiveCycle Form Manager > Registry Settings (http://localhost:8080/FormManagerAdmin/registry-cfg-load)], I get an error, which reads:
    > System Error

    The request could not be processed. Please retry the operation. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
    Has anyone had this error as well?
    The system runs fine apart from the jboss log files being crammed with the well-known and pretty annoying
    SpyJMSException.
    Does anyone have an idea how to apply changes to the form manager registry settings, if the web ui does not work? Where are the 'form manager registry settings' being stored? Maybe I succeed in changing the settings manually at least without having to re-install Livecycle...
    Regards,

    We are using JBoss 3.2.5.
    Weirdly, last week a collegue of mine was able to save the registry changes. This week, both of us get the 'System error' when trying to save changes. Even using a default Administrator account, we were unable to save changes.
    Is there any other way apart from the LiveCycle web UI to change the registry settings without having to re-install the server? Where are these values stored?

  • Error when trying to save/apply in OAM Console (credential store / wallet)

    So our Admin WLS had accidentally been started as root previously, so we restarted as oracle (after chown -R oracle:oinstall all files), and the Admin Server starts up ok. However, when attempting to save/apply a change within the OAM console, we receive the following error:
    Error in creating the credential store (wallet) : JPS-01047: Cannot persist the wallet. Reason java.io.IOException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/pki_data1951273487.lck.tmp (Permission denied).

    Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.
    How do i fix this?

    I had the same issue, as suggested by others on similar question I checked my permissions and they were fine.
    This worked for me
    1) First saved the photos from my current Photo Booth library
    2) Deleted the photo booth library folder
    3) Created a new admin user
    4) Copy the photo booth library from the new user and paste it in your user (where the previous photo booth library was)
    5) You can then delete the new user you created.
    *this is my first  attempt  here, so my bad if its not up to scratch*

  • 'Unknown Error' when trying to save files from CS under Leopard

    We recently upgraded to Leopard, and reinstalled our CS apps. Photoshop and InDesign work fine. Illustrator, however gives us an 'An Unknown Error has Occurred' when trying to save any file. After dismissing the alert, a window pops up, informing us that, 'Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file couldn't be found. ID=-43.' This happens when trying to save a new file, or an existing file, when saving with PDF preview is checked, or unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I deleted preferences on both machines. The Intel seems to be cured. All file formats save, printing, and importing are functioning normally.
    The G5 however is only modestly improved. I can now at least create and save files. Printing also functions. However if I attempt to use the template dialog box or to import (place) a file the dialogs crash the application.
    My suspect is a corrupt font, but until I have time to track down which one it is, I'll have to limp along as is...

  • Error when trying to save .ai file

    Hi,
    I created a business card in Adobe Illustrator CS2 and now I want to change my email address on the card. I did that and tried to save it but when I did this error message came up:
    "The path does not exist".
    I don't know why it's doing that. I want to be able to edit and save it later on if need be so how can I fix this? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Thanks SkaldiArts I appreciate the help. I did what you said and created a new type layer and then input the text. I deleted the old type layer and everything saved. So thank you! I would have not known I needed to do that. That's kind of tricky.

  • Captivate fatal error when trying to save.

    I've been recording successfully in Captivate.  All of a sudden, I get an error when I try and save screen changes.  The message displays "fatal error has ocurred and the application is being terminated.  Adobe Captivate has tried to save the work in respective project folders a cpbackup files.  Please restart Captivate.  The error keeps occuring on a particular project that I am working on.  Please advise - why is this happening?

    It sounds like you either have a corrupt slide, or some element of a slide in your project has become corrupted.
    The easiest way I've found to locate the issue and resolve it is to open the project, and then create another project of the same dimensions.  Once you have two projects showing in Captivate tabs, paste a few slides from the suspect one into the new one and try saving each time.
    If the corruption stems from some object ID conflict (where two objects are fighting over the same ID) then pasting slides into a new project should get rid of that issue because Captivate renames all elements when copying and pasting.  If the corruption is not elminated this way, then you will locate the issue as soon as you try to paste and save the corrupted slide/s into the new project.
    Remember to always have the preference set to save project backups.  Captivate 5x rarely corrupts, but it is still possible.
