Illustrator won't save when a gradient is being used...

In CS4, as soon as I apply a gradient and try to save, I get an error message. I've tried saving as all file types. I was able to export the image as a jpeg but would like the know how to fix the problem.

Ray,
It seems that something is seriously wrong.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps:
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer;
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup;
4) Move the folder with Illy closed;
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options;
If you have Windows Hasta la Vista, you should apply 2) in all cases.
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Illustrator won't save, not enough RAM/memory

    I am trying to save an illustrator file (39in by 27in), usually it won't save, but when it does a dialog box says I don't have enough memory. I've saved files of this size before without any issues. Please help!

    We can't know. We know nothing about your system, your file, your version of AI. Most likely this simply relates to an appearance effect trying to render for the updated embedded preview in the file, so turning off PDF compatibility may resolve the issue. Otherwise check for anything that may cause rasterization.

  • Form Fields won't save when coworker saves PDF file

    I am on Acrobat pro (mac osx), my coworker is on Acrobat Reader 9 (pc, XP). I made some form fields in a PDF file and saved it. Everytime she changes some of the text in the fields and tries to save it won't save the stuff she entered. Everytime she opens it, it contains my orignal field data.
    What steps do I need to take to make it to where she can enter in her own text and save without losing data.

    You need to Reader-enable the form. If you have Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

  • Tabs won't save when closing the browser

    After updating to the latest firefox 33.0.2 it won't save my tabs or automatically reopen them the next time I open firefox. I already checked my settings and they are not the problem.

    Does Firefox create a new sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder (i.e. the file has a current time stamp)?
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore files (sessionstore.js) files in the profile folder that store session data.
    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
    *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).
    Current Firefox versions also keep backups in the sessionstore-backups folder.

  • Wireless connections are unusable (slowdown) when Wired connection is being used?

    Why do Wifi connections slow down to a unusable when the Wired connection is being used continuously (e.g. downloading software, media, large files)?
    How do I stop this?
    I don't want the Wired connection to have some form of SuperGod priority over Wireless connections.
    We are using the Linksys WRT54GL router
    Ping/Latency times go from less than 100ms, when Wired connection is downloading, it shoots up to 550ms+ to over 1 second.
    Websites just time out or take 5 minutes to load a broken form of it as if it half the HTML cut off in random places and the stylesheet is missing.
    Download speed goes from 15Mb/s to .2 Mb/s
    Online games are unplayable.  I die before I can get the chance to move or attack.

    Thanks.
    Is that the only way it will work, device-MAC address one?
    What does Ethernet Port priority do?
    I enabled QoS with its default setting on which has all the Ethernet ports set to Low and it did absolutely nothing to improve usability.
    Does Wired QoS have any effect on Wireless connections?
    Does the field for Optimizing Game Apps affect applications on computers using a Wireless connection?
    There is a Wireless QoS section... However it doesn't have any options in it to select devices, port priority, or anything...?
    What does enabling WMM Support do?

  • I have a 8+ Mb VI that won't save when in runnable condition

    I have created a large VI that links to more than 40 sub VIs. I can save any changes I want to the main VI as long as it is not in runnable condition (broken run arrow). However, when I make the final change to put the VI in runnable condition and then try to save, LabVIEW stops responding. This happens whether I choose save, save as, or try to save upon closing the VI.

    I also have a fairly large VI that links to many subVIs but do not run into the problem that you are describing. The following are suggestions that might help.
    One suggestion that I have for you is to reduce the size of your application. I am guessing that you have several bitmaps in your front panel. You can reduce this by loading the image from file using the "Graphics and Sounds" function. This may or may not be included in your development system, depending on what you have.
    One other wild guess is to change the video resolution to 16 bits or lower. I know that LabVIEW will freeze for several minutes when you try and print the front panel. It might not be related but it is worth trying.
    Third option is just to wait for about 5 to 10 minutes to see if LabVIEW
    would come back. I don't believe that it will but try it for giggles.
    Last option is to get on the phone and talk with an Application Engineer about your problem.
    I hope that helps. Regards,

  • Adobe Illustrator Won't Save My Prefences

    Terribly frustrating. Each time I open Illustrator, I see it has not saved my preferences. "Scale Stroke and Effects" is unchecked; Units = Inches; and so on.
    Why?

    Spring,
    You may save certain settings for use in new documents through the Startup_CMYK and Startup_RGB documents; save new versions of these files (you may save the default versions with another name first) in the Plug‑ins folder in the Adobe Illustrator application folder.

  • Illustrator won't save

    When I go to Save or Save as, it brings up the dialogue box so I can chose a folder and give the file a name, but when I hit the "Save" button in the bottom right of the dialogue box, the dialogue box goes away but nothing else happens. The document doesn't save and it's title remains, "Untitled-1.ai".

    Raina,
    It may be time for the list.
    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.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    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.

  • Premiere Elements 8 won't save when I change the presets

    I'm trying to convert a recorded presentation from .wmv to .flv for a work website. If I render the video first, and then go to share I can output a .flv file.Although it does take 9 hours for a 1 hour recording.  But for some reason its set to a tiny 320x320 screen size. As soon as I try to change this setting so that it isn't resized the whole thing stops. I don't get a crash message, and windows doesn't say it's not running. It just stops and the CPU sinks from 98% back to 100%.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve points out, WMV is a tough format/CODEC to deal with. It requires a lot of processing to use. It's far easier on the computer and the program, to do the conversion, prior to Import. For an SD (Standard Definition) Project, the recommended DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio is as good as it gets. Editing will be much easier, and Export/Transcoding will go far more quickly. Note: DV-AVI Type II files will be about 13GB/hour of Duration.
    There are many conversion programs available, and many are freeware. One that gets a lot of recs. here is Prism. I have never used it, as I have DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, but it's shareware. One feature that I like about it is the batch conversion, even from mixed source files. I load it, check my settings, and hit Convert. After a cup of coffee, all of my files are ready to be Imported and edited.
    Good luck,

  • Screen Saver when calling and need to use the Keypad, the screen saver doesn't detect the phone has left the ear and blanks out the screen.  Even ending a call is difficult as the screen blanks out within seconds

    I have to use the Keypad a lot when making calls.  Make the call, the Robot then asks to enter a number for a service, pull the phone down from the ear, the screen may light up for a second, but then the screen saver cuts in, blanking the screen out.  Sometimes you hit the Home Key to awaken the sccreen, enter your number and then back to the ear to hear the next set of instructions.  Back and forth just trying to enter the options is a pain.  Sometimes even trying to end the call, the screen blanks out and you fight to try and end a call.
    If I use the Speaker function the keypad works; the speakler phone is not alway appropriate. 
    It appears that the phone gyro, doesn't detect the phone has moved from the ear to the viewing angle.  This wasn't an issue until recently and I can't remeber if it's the iPhone 5 or one of the updates.  It definitly wasn't there earlier on, as I threw away an Windows 6.5 phone for the same problem. 
    I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software (design) issue.

    It is not the gyro. This has everything to do with the iPhone's prioximity sensor.
    Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the proximity sensor? If you are using the case, remove the case prior to the next call to see if the same occurs without the case.

  • Firewire drives won't mount when front panel is in use

    Does anyone else have this problem? My firewire drives (some, not all) will not mount when the firewire cable from my deck is plugged into the fron panel on my G5. Weird. When I unplug it, they instantly mount. I'm running 10.3.9, and I'm wondering if this is something that has been fixed in Tiger? Any other solutions?

    stay away from belkin cards though, nothing but reported problems.
    www.macsales.com
    www.macgurus.com
    both great places for products like these. i put a siig card in my g4 from macsales and i've never had a firewire related problem of any kind.
    also, i see you use a g4, the apple discussion site for your computer is a great place to have expansion and other questions answered. be sure and do a search before posting.

  • My cursor keeps blinking every 30 secs or so even when no app is being used. How can I stop this?

    Hi there!
    I hope you can help me with this. Just today, my cursor keeps on blinking (or loading?) every 30 seconds or so for no reason at all. At first I thought it was the auto-save for my MS Word, but even after I closed it, it's still blinking even when I'm not
    using any apps. Tried killing spooler in task manager as I saw in other forums but it's still blinking. 
    Would very much appreciate your help.
    I'm using a Toshiba Satellite L40D-A, Windows 8. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Readie85,
    Thanks for the question. This alert usually appears if there is debris in your dock connector. Check to make sure it is free of any debris:
    “This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone."
    "This accessory is not supported by this device."
    If either of these alerts appear and nothing is connected to the dock connector, make sure that the dock connector is free of debris.

  • Apps won't update on iPhone 4 not being used as phone

    I replaced my iPhone 4 with an iPhone 4S. I'm using the 4 as a media player and wifi enabled device, not a phone.
    When I ask the App Store to update the apps that need to be updated it askes me to try back later. Instead of updating, the apps are grayed our and give the "Waiting..."message.
    I'm using a fast wifi connection and the iPhone is 6 feet from the router.
    Any idea why the updates aren't successful?

    It's not an issue of OS 3.1.3, as the update used to work for months - it can only be due to changes Apple made to the app store itself. Without OS 4.x (which will NOT be installed on my 3Gs for several reasons (no jailbreak)) there is no other way left than to manually locate the apps to update and install them as if they were just bought (you have already bought ... must be confirmed too everytime) - and an "update all" would also "upgrade" several apps rendering them unuseable as the developers thought it would be a great idea to make OS4 a minimum requirement.
    Only two days ago I was able to compare my 3Gs with OS 3.1.3 with one that had OS 4.2.1 on it - anything that was chosen in Safari took THREE times as long to load on OS 4 as on OS 3.1.3 - even any simple photo.
    Thanks, Apple. The 3Gs was my first and also last iPhone.
    In fact it's my second, as I had to get it replaced after accidentally installing OS 4 on my first one, which made it heat up like he'll and get cracks in the shell. The warranty replacement came with OS 3.1.3 on it, and that won't change until it dies.

  • Firefox automatically crashes after 4 hours of use and only when a textbox is being used - problem now daily and getting worse

    This has been going on for a few weeks and started of it's own accord. I have not recently installed any new plugins or scripts, and my PC is protected by two antivirus products and so my system (WinXP) is malware free.
    I can browse firefox for up to 4 hours, and then it crashes. No matter what sites I am using, what I am doing or even if I'm at the PC... so long as there's a text box on the page then firefox will crash if the 4 hour time limit expires. I can be just about to save an hours worth of photo captions and lose all that work due to the crash, or can be in the middle of a background download but it'll still crash... daily.
    I thought this was a plugin issue, as I have disabled all plugins for javascript handling, flashgot, etc, but still it crashes. (previously on startup Firefox would hang for 5 to 10 minutes and the system would "bing" at me if I tried to click on the firefox window... eventually a 'non responsive script' window would appear relating to a flashgot script). The crash used to go whereby suddenly the page would freeze for a few seconds, followed by a minute or two of safe working, then 2 minutes of freeze and 30 seconds of safe working, with the ratio of freeze-tim:working time working in 20 seconds increments until firefox crashed... now though there is no warning, the page freezes and then it's gone. I have updated firefox several times and still the problem persists. On a previous computer, Firefox degraded to the point where it froze for 4 minutes on any page with a Flash application... now on this computer it has degraded by itself to the point where it crashes after 4 hours of use.
    I'm presently using Internet Explorer to type this question because firefox crashed again and I'm not going to sit waiting for it to reload just to get a few numbers from an information screen... therefore further info like crash ID's etc will be update in due time....

    Cool, I'll try using the wall adaptor just as soon as I get a convertor for it to convert it to our socket type. It's nice to hear that someone else has experienced the same issue.
    I am not using it as a phone in Australia, just the ipod and wifi.
