Illustrator no longer opens files or saves changes w/ Mac

Since I downloaded a new Security Update (Snow Leapord 10.6.8) I can no longer open new files in Illustrator.  Also when I open old files they will no longer save to PDF.  Anybody else see this issue?
thanks

Which version of Illustrator are you using?

    I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

  • Using PSE 10 on Windows. Can no longer open files in PSE 10?

    Have used PSE 10 successfully for quite awhile. Can no longer open files in this program. Choose, "open file" in PSE 10 and nothing happens.

    I'd try
    set myFilePath to POSIX file "/Users/Shared/ENGR/sketch/Artists/daleb/16.0/New1/ANNIE_SUB_COMPLETE /31.5-058.psd"

  • Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files

    Greetings,
    I am not sure where to post this, so I will post here - already have a question open on the Dreamweaver forums.
    I have run into an unusual problem. I can no longer open files either on my local machine or remote server without Dreamweaver CS3 freezing. I am using OS X Leopard - 10.5.2 on an Intel MacBook Pro. A week or so ago I was able to open my .asp files just fine. Now, Dreamweaver simply freezes when I try and open them - either locally or remotely. I tried deleted the preferences file and removing site information from Manage Sites with no luck. I can create and open new files, but cannot open the existing files.
    I copied the files in question to a PC and opened them just fine using Dreamweaver 8.02. I just don't know enough about the technical aspects to properly troubleshoot this problem. I already tried reinstalling also.
    By the way, I am able to access, open and edit my files from the remote server using my PC and version 8.02.
    Any ideas?

    It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.
    For anyone interested, here are some links about this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=18 9&threadid=1262486&highlight_key=y&keyword1=design%20mode and http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1

  • DW CS3 no longer opens files from SourceSafe

    Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files from Visual SourcesSafe
    2005 when you right-click and choose to View with DW, even if DW is
    the registered application.
    DW receives the focus, but nothing happens.
    This used to function with DW 8. I have tried it on two
    machines, both of which were fresh installs, so could not be
    conflicting with DW 8 in anyway.
    Is this a known bug?

  • Going crazy. Yosemite CS 6 Illustrator will not open files!!!

    Help. I have tried many numerous things but to no avail. uninstall, adobe clean, re-install, delete prefs...Cannot figure out why Illustrator doesn't open files. All the other CS 6 programs seem fine. ???

    Sorry Larry! I'll try to be more clear.
    Basically, when I create a new CMYK document in Illustrator I am having issues saving it as a cmyk pdf file even though I am using the using the Press Quality and PDFX-1a presets. Normally, those settings would create a CMYK pdf file but when I view the color modes in Acrobat and Photoshop those programs are telling me they are in RGB formats.
    I have been viewing the color mode in Acrobat Pro by going to print>Advanced. Under the Color Management section on the right the color Profile reads Working RGB: Adobe RGB (1998). See screenshot below.
    When I try to open the .pdf files in Photoshop to check the color mode, the mode is showing up as RGB as well. See screenshot below.
    Hopefully that makes more sense. If you need any other information or clarification, just hollar! Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

    before using for all entries in, u need to check whether the driver internal table is empty, if it is empty, u should not enter into select statement.
    if u wont use this check means, when the driver internal table is empty, the second select will take all the entires from the tables.
    SELECT  AEBELN ALIFNR AKNUMV BVGABE BEBELP BGJAHR B~BELNR
            FROM  EKKO AS A

  • Illustrator no longer opens FH files!

    Just a 'heads up' to anyone who may still be lurking this board. With the release of Illustrator CS6 Adobe has apparently dropped support for opening FreeHand files i.e. Ai CS6 no longer opens FH files! Whether this is a short term glitch will probably largely depend on how vociferous the FH user base are in their desire to see this functionality restored. It seems to me now more than ever (esp. on Mac's going forward) that we do need to know there will be a program capable of running on contemporary architectures that can open FH files.

    To run PPC programs you need Rosetta, which is discontinued with Lion.
    To keep it possible for people to run Rosetta software, Apple greatly reduced the price of the server version of Snow Leopard, Snow Leopard Server. Although you won't need the server stuff, it is a version that has a EULA that allows you to run virtual installations of 10.6 on your Mac too. So you can legally install a Snow Leopard version in Virtual Box for example. You can make a lean OSX install with Freehand and other apps you like to continue running, and put them in a virtual environment.
    So to run Freehand
    - Start Virtual Box, you can set it up to automatically boot into the virtual Snow install. It will work on any mac from 10.6-10.9 and further into the future.
    - Start Freehand (Virtual box also has a mode to start virtualised apps directly from the doc, but I think that feature only works for Windows programs now). Share the project file folder of the Mac to the virtual system to be able to access and write to all relevat file directories.
    - After use, save state. The virtual mac will be stored in its last state, in maybe 10 seconds. This way it will boot straight into Freehand very fast next time.

  • Since a recent thunderbird upgrade, I can no longer open file attachments directly from my thunderbird email client.

    I can save the file to my computer, then navigate to the file I saved and open it that way. With a very large share drive, though, this takes up a lot of time. I really need to be able to click the file attachment from the thunderbird window and have it open. I'm on a mac running OS X version 10.9.5 and Thunderbird version 31.4.0. Here's a screenshot from my preferences -> attachments. Thanks in advance!

    Your settings show that you want it to ask you every time and not auto open.
    Files can have different extensions: eg: .doc, .csv, .pdf etc
    The extension determines the type of file and different programs are used to open different file types.
    eg: Adobe Reader may be used to open .pdf documents.
    MS Word or OpenOffice.Writer may be used to open .doc documents.
    For Thunderbird to open a document it needs to know what program to use to open that specific type of document.
    In your supplied image it does not specify what program to use with the exception of Content Type: MS PowerPoint Presentation to use program MS PowerPoint.
    All the others state must Always ask.
    Example:
    Content Type: Microsoft Word document
    Action: click on the downward arrow to see a drop down selection.
    If MS Word is in the list select it.
    If you cannot see MS Word in the list, click on 'Use Other'.
    If you can see the program you want to use in the list, select and click on OK.
    If you still cannot see the program, click on 'Browse' button and navigate to the Winword.exe file, select and click on Open.
    when the program has been selected click on OK to save changes to Options.

  • Firefox Always Wants to Open Files, Not Save

    I recently had to re-install my whole OS (Windows XP Professional) and re-download Firefox (3.6.12). Before this, Firefox not only remembered what folder I wanted something saved to, it also remembered my preference was to save and not open.
    Whenever I would download something that couldn't be done by right-clicking (like a zipped video file), the "Save" option was always the choice that was checked. Now, the "Open" option is always checked and no matter how many times I choose save, Firefox just won't remember. I have looked all over "Tools/Options" and can find nothing that seems to relate to this problem.
    Is there some setting I can change to get Firefox to always choose "Save" as the default? I do a lot of saving that cannot be done via right-clicking and it's incredibly annoying and time-consuming to have to repeatedly change the setting manually.
    Thanks all.

    First of all, update Firefox to 3.6.17 a.s.a.p. via Help | Check For Updates.
    There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
    The setting you're looking for is listed in Tools | Options | General, in the centre menu. You can specify there where you want to save the files to.

  • Numbers on iPad no longer opens files from iCloud

    My wife uses her computer to update client files for work (running Mavericks), and her iPhone (iOS7).  The problem now is that she uses the iPad during work hours while she is working with clients.  We have the original iPad, which cannot update to iOS7, and so it cannot update to the newest version of Numbers.  The iPad no longer opens any files that she edits on her computer or phone because they are both updated to the newer version of numbers.
    The iPad is her primary need though for the files to work on, so how do we get files to open on the iPad and stay compatible even if edited on her phone or computer.  This was never a problem before, but now that iOS7 has automatic updates, her numbers updated to the newest version and she can't go back.  Even if we got the older version installed...I assume that the automatic updates would just update it again.
    Is there anyway to get this sorted out so that the files just stay in the old format?  Or so that the original iPad can open them?

    It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.

  • TextEdit no longer opens files it used to open just fine.

    Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, TextEdit has been giving me an error message when I try to open various text files: "The document “CRD-FONT.TXT” could not be opened. Text encoding Unicode (UTF-8) isn’t applicable."
    I wish I knew how to set TextEdit to open the file anyway. I am sure it can be done; it used to open these files just fine. The files didn't change.
    I had to download and install another company's editor just so I could open files that I used to work with in TextEdit. It's good to have the other editor, but it'd be great if TextEdit went back to being able to open these files without complaint.
    Is there a setting in prefs that would resolve this? I may have changed a setting without realizing it would cause this.

    Sounds like there's something wrong with the file, though what that might be I'm not sure. I don't know enough about encodings to know, but sounds like there's probably a mismatch between the file's encoding and what the file claims its encoding is.
    Try opening it with [TextWrangler|http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler>, then choose Edit -> Document Options and see what the encoding is reported to be there.

  • Illustrator will not open files

    Hello,
    I am using Adobe Illustrator 11.0 for Windows (running on Windows Vista), and for some reason I am not able to open files that were previously created with the same software, on the same system, on the same computer.
    The files will not open whether I double-click them or even if I try to open them after I've opened Illustrator first.  Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
    You run as administrator or adjust your user privileges in your group policy editor plus you tell your virus scanner or otehr security tools to keep their hands off AI files. You are running a legacy software on a system it was never tested on, so naturally there will be problems. Those old apps not being compatible with Vista's and W7's security stuff is one of them...

  • Why is my Illustrator cs6 not opening files.

    I'm having a issue with Illustrator not opening files (eps or ai) either from the server or my desktop, opening original from Indesign, double clicking a file or from the menu 'open file'. I have to end up quitting Illustrator, then open the file from one of the methods above. Same days it all works fine then other days it doesn't. Quite confusing.
    I've uninstall then reinstall Illustrator previously and it seemed to work fine for a while then it started doing it again.
    And I've tried finding the info on the forums for Illustrator. If its there please point me to the right place.
    Illustrator CS6
    Mac running OS X 10.9
    10GB of Ram
    Please let me know if if more information is required.

    Aaron,
    Here is a list from easy to serious (note the Cleaner Tool as part of uninstalling and reinstalling in 6), and you may have some disturbance from other applications, see the usual suspects in Item 7) in 5), and 1) - 2) may be the first ones to try, before 3) and/or 4) ):
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
