Illustrator keeps saying "Can't save illustration" and this assignment is due tomorrow - I'm worried

I ended up on the phone with Adobe support last evening. They told me due to the theft of subscriber / customer information from Adobe I needd to reset my password and reboot my computer. I ended up loosing the data in the clipboard however resetting my password and rebooting solved the problem. Rebuilding my work always seems to go smoother the second time through so I finised my homework none the less. As for equipment, I use a Sony Vaio SVS15127PXB iCore 7 Laptop and a Dell 23" Touchscreen Monitor.

Illustrator Can't Save Illustration

I am using Illustrator 10 and I get a message that says "Can't save illustration" sometimes. This does not happen all the time. I can save the file as an EPS file when I can't save it as an illustrator file. Today I got another message after trying to click save when the can't save illustration message appeared. This message said that "You are saving this document in Adobe Illustrator 1.0/1.1 format. Saving this document in an older format may disable some editing features when the document is read back in. I was trying to save it in Illustrator 10 as an Illustrator 10 file. The only versions of Illustrator that have been on my computer are Illustrator 9,10 and CS. I did try uninstalling everything and just installing 10, but the problem still persists. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Diane

Diane,
The issue may have a number of causes:
If it is corrupted preferences, you may may try to
Move the folder. The strangeness of Illy versions may indicate something like that.
It may also be something about fonts, in which case removing type should change it, or that the artwork extends outside the workspace.
Can you save to PDF, keeping Illustrator editing capabilities?

Try to save .ai file as EPS it says "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illu

Windows 8. Adobe Illustrator CS6
I create an illustration and saved it as an .ai file. Now that I'm ready, I want to save it as an EPS file, but a window pops up saying "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illustration." I tried saving it under older formats, doesn't work. Help!

I don't think it is a Win8 issue per se. I export to EPS from both CS5.1 and CS6 on Windows 8 64-bit. It may well be a user account issue or the CS6 installation itself.
Try creating a new user account on the Win 8 computer and try it. Only takes a few minutes with the reboot.

Illustrator CS4 - "Can't save illustration." Error

While working on a website mockup I ran into a rather worrisome error - "Can't save illustration."
I can export as .png, .jpg but cannot "Save" or "Save As" regardless of the file type.
The particular document/file contains 1 graphic made in Photoshop and a few downloaded vectors, but removing those particular items does not seem to help.
I read that the error can be caused by fonts so I changed all fonts to Arial(standard system font), and even tried changing type to outlines.. again, nothing helped.
I've also tried copy/pasting everything to a new document to no avail.
All content is on single layer, if it matters.
My system(osx 10.8.5) is running on little available memory, but even removing what I would assume to be the more taxing files doesn't help - the "Can't save illustration." error persists. Needless to say, I'm very worried.
Any thoughts/ideas on how to remedy this problem?

Tried printing to PostScript file (did not see specifically PDF printer), and received an error stating there was not enough memory, or object too complex. I tried reducing the object and artboard to 1/4 it's original size, problem persists.

Can't save illustration

After I saved my file once, then I noticed the disclaimer of - can't save illustration in Adobe Illustrator when saving it again. What seems to be the problem about this?

Can you please provide more exact detail, as this could be a number of things, and your post could be interpreted in a number of different ways as to exactly when the message is coming up. Also what version and platform are you using.
After you save once, the save command is greyed out and you should not be able to save again. If you have trouble saving try resetting your prefs, doing any dot update to your version, and temporartily removing any nonstandard plug ins.

Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration. HELP!!!

About a month ago in CS4 I randomly got the message "Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration." I had no changes to software or hardware. After searching to no avail, we decided we would upgrade to CS5 (however CS4 is still on the computer). Now with a new install of CS5, using Illustrator CS5 I'm getting the same error message. Even when there are no fonts present in the file and it is only a basic square the error message still pops up and Illustrator will not save anything to an EPS file.
The ONLY answer I've seen offered from Adobe on this problem is "outline the text", well that's not the problem because as I've said I've tried saving a file with just a simple path and it won't save to EPS.
I really need to save a file as an EPS and send it out to a vendor asap. Does anyone at Adobe have an answer to this problem?!
I'm using:
CS5 Designer Premium
Windows 2007 Professional, 64bit
Quadro FX 2800M
Dell Precision M6500
Thank you,
Jen

I am having the same problem in Illustrator CS5. Saving as .ai without PDF editable doesn't correct the problem. In the file there is outlined text (no fonts) with a gradient added. It file originated as an Illustrator document. I have been able to export as TIFF, etc. I'm getting the same cannot-save-or-print message.
There are no fonts in the file. When I tried to convert this RGB file to CMYK the listing for Convert To CMYK ( Edit/Edit Colors/Convert To CMYK) is grayed out. The 2 colors in the file originated as PMS but have been converted to process, CMYK in the Swatch Options dialog menu. I really need the file as an Illustrator-editable EPS other wise I can convert the TIFF to EPS in Photoshop.
Anyone have any idea about what's going on here or below?
Also,When I successfully save as a PDF the file looks fine reopened in Illustrator
but when it is opened in Acrobat 9 Pro, the gradient is modified unacceptably:
I betting that both problems are related.

Mmh, yeah, sounds familiar but for the life of it I cannot reme,ber the solution. I believe it's documented in the knowledgebase on the support pages and hinges on some VersionCue stuff being wrong. Other than that I could only imagine Acrobat Quick Launcher or Windows own preview generating functions having a hold of the file, when you save it as PDF compatible...

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

HT2731 I have been trying to update my ipod and it keeps saying can't connect to the store but I'm able to purchase apps from the store. Which I did right after it said that???

I don't know what's going on with my ipod it keeps saying can't connect to store when I try to download updates but I can still buy apps from the store???

Make sure your system time & date is set properly. If it is not, then move it backwards 2 months, then try to connect to the store. Good chance it will work then.
Change it back after again.

I cloud calendar says can't save due to server error?

How do I fix this. I am trying to update I-cloud calendar on my windows vista computer and it says can't save server error.

Hi,
The issue is related to the temporary files when we using the Word 2013.
Look for anything ending with a TMP file extension or anything that starts with a dollar sign ($). Anything with the TMP extension can be deleted outright; anything that starts with a dollar sign can be deleted if it appears that the file is simply a Word
document with the dollar sign added as a prefix. You can find more information about Word's use of temporary files at this page in the Knowledge Base:

Paid for icloud, but ipad keep saying can't verify account. Does anyone know where to get help on how to verify?

I have an iphone 5 and ipad. I paid for icloud. I "think" iphone is okay but ipad keep saying can't verify account. I can't change that. I have been sent to the page on apple about setting up icloud but that doesn't help. There is no place for me to fix my account or change anything. Anyone know what to do? The apple support page doesn't answer my question. If just has instructions to set up, but I can't get anywhere on the ipad since it keeps telling me account not verified.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Hi PAG1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend restarting your iPad and trying again to see if that helps:
