Impossible to Save Brush Library in Illustrator CS5

I want to save my Brush Library. I try to save in (Mac OS) Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5/Brush. In the Adobe Folder there is no Adobe Illustrator CS5 listing. And it isn't listed in Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 either. What do you think I may be doing wrong?

So actually your problem is, that Illustrator won't launch? If it doesn't launch, are there any error warnings?
Most probably you will have to uninstall and re-install. Since you just deleted, I would also be very careful about the number of installations. I would call the support number and ask them about this issue. You know, this one: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/908395?tstart=0

Brush styles in Illustrator CC

In Illustrator CS1 I could apply foot track (bear, deer, human) brush styles. I haven't found these styles in Illustrator CC. Where might I find them, within Illustrator CC, or within a 3rd party brush library?

In CS5.5 there are in Borders-Novelty. I can't confirm in CC as I don't have it installed.

How to fix 'An Unknown error has occurred" when trying to save an illustrator CS5 doc

Hi
I have just upgraded to a new iMac late 2013. After running a migration from my old mac to the new. I now have the following error: "Unknown error has occurred" when trying to save an illustrator CS5 doc.

Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 crash when Save for Web and Devices (Mac)

Hi baffled with this.
When Saving for Web and Devices in Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2), the application now freezes and has to be force quit.
HOWEVER if I delete the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder all works well until I quit the application, then the freeze will happen again. I had this happen before so under the advice of Adobe I created a new user and all was fine for that user so I transferred everything across... a laborious task.
So my question now is why now?... what has triggered this AGAIN?...
Hope you can help... anyone.
Running:
Mac OS X 10.6.6
Mac Pro tower.
Note:
have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated 15.0.1 - 15.0.2
have deleted all font caches
have deleted everything... that could be related...
HOWEVER have narrowed it down to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file in the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder
Please too note this is not the folder permissions issue, am aware of that and have thoroughly checked all permissions, ran disk utility and disk warrior.
thanks

If you use cocktail I suggest you get rid of it it can cause serious problems if you select the wrong settings, instead download ONYXwhich is free and will not harm your system or corrupt anything by deleting something you actually need.
I hit the wrong setting using cocktail and it locked me out of all of the hard drives installed or connected to my Mac it is very dangerous. And I cannot imagine a reason for a setting that would protect your hard drives from yourself to the point of not recognizing your own password.
I know it cost money and has advanced settings but having the ability to kill your system is crazy.
Also to repair your permissions use the disk utility or ONYX as the permissions can become changed when installing software or if cocktail changes it locking you out of folders etc.

Re: Illustrator CS5.5 - Will edit but cannot save .ai files created in CS3

Hi! I recently installed Illustrator CS5.5 over CS3 (as part of a CS5.5 CS upgrade). I did not uninstall CS3, as I still sometimes need to use it with collegues who have not upgraded. I am on a PC with Windows 7 (64 bit).
Today I opened an .ai file I had created in CS3 about 6 months ago, edited it and attempted to save it as a CS5 .ai file. It would not alow this, popping up a message saying "Can't save the illustration!".
So, I attempted to save it as a CS3 .ai file, and recieved another error message. In teh end, I just had to close down Illustartor and lose my work. I will re-do it in CS3.
Anyone got any idea what the problem might be?
Help!
Cheers
Angus

Thanks for the response.
No mysteries here…… I just have a common or garden single home PC installation of Windows 7 (64 bit) and the file I was trying to use in CS5.5 is simply a series of charts (graphs) – each in a separate layer - that are then placed in a report. File is 454 kb.

ArcGIS 10.0 to Illustrator (CS5).... Edit, Save, Reopen, Clipping masks are all gone....

I am working from ArcGIS 10.0 to Illustrator CS5.
I make my map in ArcGIS. The layers are in four groups (VECTORS: top, middle, bottom + RASTER). I export the map from layout view to an .ai file. I open the .ai file in illustrator. Edit a couple things. Save the document. Seems simple enough... when I open it it should look just like it did when I just saved it two seconds ago, right?
Nope.
After saving, closing, and reopening all my clipping masks are gone. They have disappeared/ automatically released. I have tried this same process on my personal computer (this issue is happening on a work computer) and I am not having an issue (GIS layers are in groups, I export, open, edit, save, close, reopen... still all clipped and the way I want it). I'm not sure if it is the settings on the work computer that are causing the clipping masks to automatically release on their own or what. When I look through the layers in my .ai file (post save, reopened file) the former clipping masks are now just 'paths.' but if I reclip them they mess up my layers and it seems like a tedious and unnecessary process (especially if the whole thing is working out correctly on my personal computer).
Does anyone have any idea why illustrator is automatically releasing my clipping masks upon saving?
Is it a GIS issue? Or an Illustrator issue? Are my settings wrong? Help!

The first thing you must do when opening an Arc AI file is to do a Save As and overwrite the original file with a new copy of the file in whatever the version of AI you have. If you just do a Save of the Arc file, it will revert to an AI3 file. Everything will be placed on a single layer.

Illustrator CS5 crash when loading variable library

Hi,
I've recently upgraded to CS5 from CS3. I have some template files set up that read an XML variable library and load external images and text. These were working fine with CS3. With CS5, as soon as I load a variable and try to view any of my data sets, Illustrator crashes instantly. To be more specific, the XML seems to load fine, and I can drop down the menu to see all my dataset names, but as soon as I select one, it crashes. Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Murat

Illustrator CS5 crashes every time the destination is changed during save & save as

I have a new Macbook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1.
Every time I try to change the destination folder for a file during "Save" or "Save As" in Illustrator CS5 the program crashes & I get an extensive error message. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling Illustrator 3 times but the issue persists. I have tried installing it both with the original Creative Suite disk I purchased in 2010 and with the download from Adobe's website, and neither made a difference. I have not experienced any problems with the Photoshop or InDesign programs from the same Creative Suite package.
Please advise on how to fix this issue.

Illustrator cs5 portable shuts down after I save a file

I have illustrator cs5 that worked just fine on my old pc. I am using it now on my new pc (win 7, 64 bit, 8GB Ram, i5 3.40GHz) but every time I try to save a file no matter how small, illustrator shuts down completely. Someone help please.

Does that happen with that file only or with any other files as well?
Did you try to create a new file and save it?
What error message do you get? Please attach an error screenshot.
Which operating system do you use?

I have adobe illustrator CS5. When I save a document as a pdf and open it again later to edit Adobe reader can't read the whole document because it only shows part of the document. It is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

"Can't save preview..." messages when saving artwork in Illustrator CS5

Hi!!
I'm having problems when trying to save artwork on Illustrator CS5. I've tried to change fonts, delete fonts , etc... and nothing seems to work. I also tried to save as instead and the problems gets fixed for a while but if I open the same file and make changes and save, the message comes back again....
here are the messages:
The files are not locked or in use. I'm the only one working (on a MAC) on these files.
Please help!!! I don't want my files to get corrupted!!!
THANKS!!!!

Unfortunately I don't have permission to share the file but it is not a particular file. I'm getting the message randomly when I tried to save different files. I don't think is the file but we recently switch servers. We had a mac server now we have a pc server. Do you think that might be the problem? We work from the server and save everything in there. The other designers that I work with are getting similar messages.
The files are not locked or the folder, I tried to save it from a new document and it works, but later on the problem comes back.
Question: Should I delete the whole "Adobe CS5 Illustrator Settings" folder, I was not sure if you meant that there is a folder inside named settings?
Thanks you for your help!!!

Illustrator CS5 / Windows 7 crashes on save

I'm having problems with a brand new install of Illustrator CS5 (from the CS5 Master Collection) on a brand new HPZ400 Xeon workstation with 8gb ram.
If I create a new document, draw a few shapes and add some text it works as expected and saves ok.
If I try to copy/paste into the document, when I try to save it, Illustrator quits without warning and Windows 7 throws up an alert with Adobe Illustrator CS5 had stopped working.
I've patched Illustrator to 15.01 and the problem persists. I've renamed the preferences file to force AI to recreate it but the behaviour is the same.
I haven't had this issue on previous versions (although they were admittedly running either XP or on a mac). Other apps in the collection seem to be working ok.
Strange... it's as vanilla an install as possible. Any help would be great.
Nathan

OK. Updated entire CS5 Master Collection over the weekend hoping this would fix the issue but Illustrator is still not able to save/save as on some files.
I have a few eps files that open fine, but as soon as I try save as, Illustrator quits and windows throws an error "The program has stopped working..."
I've tried changing users, deleting the prefs, I even tried disabling PDF in the clipboard preferences in case this had something to do with it.
I can edit the file in question on a mac in CS5 and save it fine, however the new file (saved from Mac CS5 can't be resaved again from my PC)
Could it be a Windows 7 issue?

Illustrator CS5 Error - "Not enough memory to save the file"

Hey guys,
I'm experiencing difficulties in exporting website from .AI to .PSD using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows7 Home Premium 64bit. The error message says "Not enough memory to save the file".
I can assure you that i've got enough memory for scratch disks and my computer is powerful enough to handle this operation. The funny thing is that i am able to export the very same .Ai file using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows XP 32bit on different PC.
I've tried to find a solution online, but it gave no satisfying results so far. So, i think the problem comes from the operating system, but i don't know how to fix it... any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve.

Sad to say I'm running into the same problem with a 40KB file.....
(download the following file and use it)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/2.4_GHz_Wi-Fi_channels_%28802.11b%2Cg_W LAN%29.svg
File -> Open
Modify the file slightly:
doubleclick the image
remove the channel 14 info (the text block "14" & "2.484", the T shaped path, the dotted half circle path)
drag a square around the "Channel", "Center Frequency", "(GHz)" text blocks and hold left shift and press the left arrow until the selected items are tighter to the rest of the image
select the bold base line, grab the right middle point to shrink the line (dragging from right to the left) until 'intersect' shows up, then release
click the top left "Back One Level" arrow 2 times so that you are back to the top level (out of isolation mode)
File -> Export -> Choose PSD
