Trouble saving files in Illustrator

Only recently I'm having trouble saving files in AI. It will take forever or just crash while saving especially when saving as a .pdf. Has anybody ran into this? I'm wondering if it's a recent thing all around or just me. I've been using this for almost a year now and have no worries until now. Please help!

things to check for:
Check disk for errors
Do a defrag
Check you fonts for corruption
Check your preference file for curruption (easiest to just replace it)
Check for enough drive space for the file itself plus the virual drive space need for your OS.
think if any other programs are showing signs of file errors.
As a last resort try reinstalling illustrator.

InDesign complaint about saving files.

This annoys the HELL out of me. If there is a setting for this I have not found it.
Using Bridge I open an InDesign file, a business card for example, and change the name. I "Save As", change the name of the file and save. WHY IN THE HELL does ID NOT save to the folder that the file was opened FROM. Instead, it saves to the LAST folder ID saved to.
Photoshop does NOT do this.
AI does NOT do this.
Acrobat does NOT do this.
Lightroom does NOT do this.
The above apps save to the exact same file folder that that the file was opened from. You have to tell these apps to save into another location. This is logical.
As best I can tell, ID is the ONLY App that "Save As" to a last folder it's saved to, regardless of how long it been since ID's been used. I have to spend time to find a file I just saved (Most of the time searching with Bridge won't show a new file). The best way to do it is to open any ID file, click "Save As" and see where it put it. It took me a while to figure out why it was selecting the folder to save to. This makes no sense.
FIX THIS!!!!!!!! Bring ID in line with EVERY OTHER CREATIVE SUITE PROGRAM.
(I used Comic Sans because it's almost as annoying as this issue.)

Let's assume you're correct.
First, It doesn't give me the "Legacy Formate" prompt. I see this pretty often in AI. As I said above, AI saves to the folder that the file was opened from REGARDLESS. ID just saves with no warning. At the very least I should get the prompt, like I do an AI.
Second. ID is the ONLY one that does this.
Third. If it's a "safety precaution" why does AI, Photoshop etc. NOT do the same thing. At least make it consistent.
Finally. I'd love the option to turn this off.
Here's what makes me doubt your answer. Some of the files I've had this problem with I KNOW, for a fact, are NOT older versions of ID.

InDesign hasn't saved file changes

I've just spent a whole morning working on a file, and NONE of the changes that I've made to the document have been saved by InDesign.
I've saved regularly as I've gone, and I've received no error messages or warnings from InDesign, yet I've reopened the exact same file, and there are no changes to how it was when I left it yesterday. The modification date says 'Yesterday 17:01,' so the file appears not to have been updated by Indesign.
I've retreived an 'in progress' version from my last Time Machine backup (12:01 today), and a lockfile that was also backed up in Time Machine, and that was next to the file – but nothing. I notice the Lockfile is zero kb, but I don't know if that's usual.
I'm OS X 10.9.2, and InDesign CC 9.2. This is a whole mornings work down the drain, and I'm on a tight schedule in a busy department: how exactly can this happen without even throwing an error?

Kevin,
I can only offer a safer method of saving your files, using a File>Save As instead of a File>Save and using versoining numbers. The advice is solid, and these forums are indexed by search engines, so hopefully my advice will be heeded in years to come,
I know it didn't solve your dilemma, but it wasn't intended to, it was a word of advice, and prior to your latest post, I had no idea how long you were in the industry or what you consider to be safe practices.
It's impossible to know these things unless it's specified before I hit reply...
I'm not an expert on Time Machine, but it's quite possible that your file wasn't saved as the IDLK file prevented the file from being saved - but Time Machine somehow took a saved copy anyway - I'm not sure how that would work though? As that's not my understanding of how Time Machine works.
It's also possible that you saved your file and it was backed up by Time Machine, and then the IDLK was still in place, when you opened InDesign again it referred to the Backup file located (located in Prefereces) to restore an older version of your file.
IDLK files are not always removed when you close InDesign, especially after crashes, the IDLK files can remain, linking InDesign to open Backups of your files saved from the Preferences.
As is my understanding.
If you can easily give a step-by-step of your procedures then why didn't you? How can anyone troubleshoot what went wrong if they can't follow what you did step-by-step?
How you the recoup the lost time is up to you - as I've stated before, safer method of saving your files is to use File>Save As and use versioning numbers, rather than using File>Save and only having 1 version of your file on record. If you follow the Save As rule then you can avoid these diasters.
I have absolutely no idea what you mean when you say "I also appreciate your 'faith' in InDesign's infallibility"
Where in the whole reply did I say that InDesign was "infalliabl[ity]e"?
If you saw this type of behaviour before and were aware of it then why haven't you adopted safer Saving procedures?
For example, I use the File>Save As and versioning numbers. I also have everything saved on a server that's backed up every evening. Those files are shadow copied onto a personal drive on the server, and also on a cloud storage system outside the office.
Look - let's not get into who smells like what...
What happened here was an error with saving your file that you didn't notice. How it happened I don't know because you have refused to give the step-by-steps to recreate the issue.
If I can't recreate the issue I can't offer any advice to how it happened or how to resolve it.

Trouble saving files in CS4?

When trying to save a .psd file today after working on an image I got a message saying - Could not save as "_IJD3271.psd" because of disk error. Has anyone any idea what might be causing this to appear and even better how to remedy it. This has just started today as I was working recently on images and saving them without any problems whatsoever.
Thanks,
Ian

Could your hardware be faulty?
Do you work aross a network or locally?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Problem with indesign & acrobat cannot saved files on server : file already open-

About the problem of Christina
It's the same for us with Indesign and also with Acrobat. The problem comes from Adobe. They do not understand that we work on server. They tHink that we must work in local and after save files on server. That's totally crazy when you are saverall to work on the same file at different time of the day. How could you know that you work on the right file?
Please, ADOBE, could you solved this problem?

You need Adobe Drive, which helps to connect with DAM systems. AFAIK, Adobe does not supply DAM systems though.

Trouble saving files in Audition 3.0

Starting today, I can't save any file I have in edit mode as an mp3. All the options I have have an asterisk
next to it, which I never noticed before, and my option mp3 read MP3PRO (FhG) (*mp3.) What does this mean
and how can I resolve this issue?
Ken

I don't know if you have made a typo but "MP3PRO (FhG) (*mp3.)" should read "MP3PRO (FhG) (*.mp3) with the dot between * and mp3. When you say that you can't save your file is it just the .mp3 format that is giving you problems?
It has been known for the file suffix to become corrupted if someone has mistakenly typed the incorrect suffix into a file name. To make Audition save .mp3 files with the correct suffix do a Save As and fully type in the correct suffix rather than letting Audition add it itself. Ie. if "filename" is what you want to call your saved .mp3 type "filename.mp3" into the filename box. Audition should then save future .mp3s OK.

Trouble saving files as jpg or eps in CS3

I recently moved from OSX 10.4 to OSX 10.6 (new computer) and seem to have lost the ability to save photoshop files (CS3) in eps or jpg format. I can "save to web", which will save small jpgs, but once was able to save jpgs of any size in the "save as" drop down menu. Now I don't have an option there for jpg or eps files. How can I get back the ability to save my files in those formats?

Just to make sure, those files are 8bit and RGB or CMYK (Edit: or grayscale)?

Trouble saving files

Any theories about why Keynote won't let me save a file? Version 3.0.1

Start looking for the slide(s) that are causing the problem.
Delete half your slides and attempt a "Save As..." (so you can give the file a different name and not overwrite the original). If it saves, the problem slide(s) is (are) among those deleted. Concentrate on those by again deleting half the suspects and do it again... and again...

Is anyone else having trouble saving files?

Im on a macbookpro.
When i try to save a tiff it labels raw, a jpeg becomes a dcm at first 1 thought the dcm was an odd error so i tried to emial the image to a friend but it was unreadable defiantly not a jpeg.

When is sunlight, absolutely. Not a problem with the Droid Ultra but rather all phones.
You ever see the commercial about the Nook devices. The have a special screen to reduce glare allowing you to see your screen in sunlight.
As far as I know, companies have not implemented this on anycell phone.
There are after market anti-glare screen protectors
Check Amazon or eBay, they should be relatively inexpensive.
Good Luck

Photoshop is Crashing when saving files

Hello, I have been having some trouble saving files. Sometimes, and usually with the first file, Photoshop will crash when I try and save a file. It also happens when I try and open a file into photoshop. Most specifically, when I try and open my watermark file (png). I have deleted the preferences, and am working on a freshly installed version of Windows 7. Here is the crash report I was able to retrieve. I am usually not able to retreive this info, because in most cases, Photoshop just completely dissapears instantly.

StackHash implies memory corruption.
By and large, during software development, the number 1 reason I've isolated for that is problems in display drivers. That's not to say it's the only reason memory could be corrupted, but it's more common than most people would think.
What video card do you have, and what version of display driver?
Does the problem persist if you disable OpenGL Drawing in Edit - Preferences - Performance (then restart Photoshop)?

I am having trouble opening files saved in CS 5.5 Indesign after spending time on the cloud. Help me please

The last year(2013-2014) of school used CS5.5( I won and is on home computer) at home along with the cloud. School was using CS 6.I learned to save all files at home and at school in CS 4 or better. Saved files in each format so I could work on each project at home or at school. In Oct. had to cancel cloud. Now when I try to open the last years files It tells me to ck membership or open in arobate(PDF). Have spent hours on the phone and all they can tell me is to contact the forums. Hours and hours of work I have no access to.
Anything new I wish to start is ok but anything I had worked on in InDesign for my portfolio is accessible
I am considering removing my CS5.5 and trying to re load it. Any one know if that will help and what could I be loosing if I do that?
I have spent hours on the phone with no help from Adobe.
I just want to know how I can open my files to I can re save them in the CS 5.5 format . All of my portfolio, resume and other InDesign things are not available.

I'm having the same issue. And Dreamweaver now crashes after just a few seconds.

Having trouble saving tiff files to server

Hi all,
I'm having trouble saving tiff files to our server (a mac pro running OSX 10.5.7 client not server). I get the error message 'could not save "filename" because write access was not granted. The disk in question is set to ignore permissions and the other 3 Macs on the network have no problems.
Bizarrely this only seems to happen when saving as a Tiff file, I can save as JPEG without issue! The file will usually save after a few attempts, sometimes six or seven save as' are needed.
This problem comes and goes, but at the moment its pretty bad.
This is becomming very frustrating as Tiff is our prefered format and we work as a team so have to save to the server.
Any ideas?

Just to expand on Buko's correct ansswer, this is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.
