Older illustrator files are 72 resolution when opened in new version

Hi,
My high resolution illustrator work wants to save as 72 pixels per inch in IllustratorCS5, is there a setting somewhere to only go to 72 if I want a save for web gif?
Also, I have a hard time getting from sign in to the forum. Is there a more reasonable route than through the confusing jargon of the corporate marketing page?
Thanks,
Garrett

PNG files are grainy when opened in Illustrator.

Files that I create in Photoshop and save as PNG files are grainy and colored incorrectly when opened in Illustrator. The files are fine when opened in other programs. Please see the pictures below to illustrate my point. These are the same file, however, the first is the PNG file that I've saved in Photoshop and the second is how Illustrator renders the file.
Original - Saved from Photoshop
Rendered in Illustrator. Exported as PNG.

It is PNG 24. It's super bizarre. I originally thought it was because the file began as a RAW file, but any file I export as a PNG gives me the same issue when opened in illustrator.

Content of illustrator file is different when opening in and old cs version.

Hi all!
I have a very awful and urgent problem in my job right now, i design some advertisings that goes regularly from month to month, so some advertisings are just like the last month used but with some data changed.
My problem:
I have an illustrator file (.ai) saved and created in CS3 with pdf compability, outlines, and files linked and included on the same cd,
but when opening the same .ai file in another machine but with CS2 (the client's PC).. it shows a very old version of the file with ALL linked files embebbed (and those are different that are on the cd!!)., in the CS3 file i saved and recorded on cd i replaced all things of course and re-save it. I don't know what is wrong, but when i open it in another machine (i.e. a Mac) it shows the correct version of advertising. But not with the client's machine...
In my illustrator file, there is only text outlines and 2 psd. Each PSD have only 1 layer, 'cause they were flattened (thet are actually letters scanned).
So basically: My .ai file, created in CS3 in a Mac, seems totally different and embebbed when opening in CS2 in a PC.
I hope someone can help me with this urgent matter Thanks a lot everyone!!

In regards to the illustrator file link not matching, there is nothing wrong with the .ai file., your problem is with the filenames on the linked images. Your linked images have the SAME EXACT FILENAME AS THE OLD ones connected to the clients machine. You need to break the link to the old bad files and re-establish them to your good files.
Use links palete Flyout menu >> link information to find the location of the images. Change the name of an enclosing folder, or some other method to break the link to old images. Relink to new images, by placing them next to the .ai file in the same folder, and open the .ai file.

Illustrator Layers are expanded when opening.

I haven't had much luck googling this, because I am not certain of the proper terminology to ask the question.
When I open a file, one or more layer are opened/expanded in the layer tab on the side of the screen. I can close the layer, make modifications, and save; but when I open it up, the layer is always opened.
It doesn't happen with every file. But on the files that do have this, it's always like this.
Any ideas? It's rathe annoying, especially with larger art files.

SOULTION WORK ARROUND HERE:
At a previous job at AARP.org, we had CS2 and went to CS4, where I first noticed this "bug."
Sometimes, we'd have a file with 10-30 web page designs in it and having to close all the Layers showinging every Sublayer drove me nuts and can take a few Annoyed minutes.
I still have this issue in CS5, and noticed it yesterday on a co-workers CS6.
So, today I decided to Google search and fonund this thread.
I've spent the last 2 hours trying to fix the issue of all Layers and Sublayers showing when opening a document and I have found a work arround.
Now, we know that Illustrator gives a unique color to items that live on seperate layers, and it also does this for Sub-layers.
It seems when you open a file with lots of layers and sub-layers, the defualt in Illustator is to show all layers.
To fix that bug they need to add a "Show/Hide Sublayers" or something.
I think they may have added "Sublayers" in CS4, and that is when this "bug" started for the users. I'm not sure.
Also, sometimes items are getting stuck inside sub-layers etc, and it becomes hard to move selected items to the front and or back using short cut commands, you have to actually go move the sub-layer. meh.
Somethings to note:
Adobe gives the user the option to "Merge Selcted Layers" but this only lets you merge layers and sub-layers that live within the same heiarchy, and you still will have lower level sub-layers, and you can't drag a sub-sub-level layer to the the sub-layer up from it.
I haven't figured out how or why all the sublayers got created, I know I never made a actual "New Sublayer"
So, if there is a process in the workflow to avoid doing that, I'll look out for it and post something in the future.
But it may have to do with working with custom symbols, pasting form layers to layers, Paste Remembers Layers being selected, copying layers, etc... I don't know.
So, here is how I cleaned up my file:
I removed all the damn sub-layers that ened up in my file somehow.
1) First make sure "Paste Remembers Layers" is NOT selcted in the Layers palette menu.
2) Select everything in a specific layer by clicking on the circle to the right of the layer name in the layers palatte or use commed-c to copy.
3) With all your content still selected, delete everything.
4) Select all the sub-layers (which are now empty), that are underneath your most top level layer.
5) Click on your top level layer, and use Shift-Command-V to Paste in Place (also found under the Edit menu).
Now, your layers will look like the used back in CS3 or CS2, you will have NO Sublayers, and after you save and re-open the document, all layers will not be open showing.
Ta-Da! This has been driving me crazy for like a year and a half. Work arround discovered.
Thought I should share.
Now, if you like using layers and naming them, then you're stuck with all layers showing upon opening a document but you can reduce what shows by going into Panel Options and checking "Show Layers Only"
This will show only your layers and sub-layers, but it can reduce you seeing all the paths and objects, etc., but when you open documents, all those layers will still be open. Got it?

Project HTM Files are Blurry when opened in Web Browser

Hello, I'm hoping someone on this discussion board can help me!
I have created a video project for work in Adobe Captivate 6 and have published it. I now need to upload this video project onto our company's website.
In short, here is my problem: When I open the HTM file for my video project from the original file source, it appears normal. However, once I wrote a path to the HTM file in our website's HTML code and went to open the page in my internet browser (I've been using Firefox) the video appears blurry.
How can this be? Clearly the quality of the HTM file is fine, since it was not blurry when I opened it from the original file source. Can anyone think of a reason why it is blurry when opened in an internet browser? I know this sometimes can happen with the SWF files because internet browsers can alter their dimensions, but I thought using HTM files was supposed to help in avoiding these sorts of problems.
Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sure.
Here is a screenshot from one of the older videos:
And here is a screenshot from my video:
They are essentially the same screen, but for some reason in my version everything looks far more pixelated. Any thoughts on this?

Thumbnails are blank when opening a new tab.

I have tried all the suggestions to get the graphics to show in the thumbnails when I open a new tab. Nothing changes. The panels are there for the thumbnail, the name of the website shows, but there is no graphic or "picture" of the page in the thumbnail. They show up on all my other pcs, and my iMac, but not on this laptop.

This question was asked here also, hope it helps!

Illustrator file losing quality when opened in photoshop...please help!

Hello, If anyone could help me I would be so grateful, i really am struggling to the point of tears here!!
I have simple line drawings in illustrator (outlines of clothes) that I wish to open in photoshop to add colour and effects to.
When i have tried to copy and paste (as normal paste, smart object, pixels, path and shape layer) the quality is lost.
I have also tried to open or place the file in photoshop as a .psd, .ai , .pfd and still the quality is lost.
I have saved with different resolution settings too, but it always loses quality when it is opened in photoshop.
Is there any way for me to have a clear line drawing like it is in illustrator in photoshop? And how should I go about it?
Thank You so much to anyone who can help, I really am at my wits end with this!

Come on, Chris, I'm not buttoned up the back.
You told me last month when I complained about the poor quality of "paste as pixels" that Photoshop uses the raster in the clipboard so the raster must be poor and not Photoshop's rasterizing of vectors.
Re: Ps CS6 Problem: Incorrect rendering of pasted Adobe Illustrator vector objects
Now you say that Photoshop does not use the raster in the clipboard and does rasterize the vectors when "paste as pixels" is performed.
You can't have it both ways.
You've just confirmed what I said last month: Photoshop rasterizes the vectors even when pixels are present in the clipboard and "paste as pixels" is requested. Thank you.

App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop, App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop

So, where I work, we have a script that handles all of our heavy lifting. This script is running on CS6, and all of the users are running CC 2014. Now when the CS6 machine opens a document with any type of vector object from CC 2014 it throws a dialog box asking if I want to flatten, cancel, or Keep layers. I do have DISPLAYDIALOGS.NO set at the top of this script.
I under stand scripting quite well, but I'm just not sure if there are app.open options to tell this to keep layers. Also, I'm pretty sure a try catch block will not work, becuase this dialog appears before the image is actually pixels on the screen.
When the script generates our web images I've tried to flatten the document right after its opened and I still see this dialog. Any help would be super appreciated.
Thank you!

app.open will encounter problems that you really have no control over so you get an annoying dialog that you can't do anything with. The one that caused me the most grief is when a script tries to open a corrupt jpg image. IMNSHO, app.open should throw an Exception if it can't open the file and DisplayDialogs.NO is set. That way you can log the filename and deal with it later.
Bottom line is that there is nothing you can do in JS. One thing I have done in the past was use a utility like AutoKey on Windows that looks for these dialogs and automatically responds to them so you can continue processing. I'm fairly certain there is something similar available for OS X.

Select a couple of .ai files and Get Info on the files. Go to the Open with line and set it to Adobe Illustrator. When it ask if you want it to do the same for this file type answer yes. The OS is probably seeing the file as a PDF and Preview by default is set to open PDFs.

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

Our illustrator files are not showing up when uploaded to creative cloud.

Our illustrator files are not showing up when uploaded to creative cloud. They are visible sometimes when we turn on and off the layers. Please help thanks.

If you feel that you have enough evidence of the symptoms, use the feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html to let Apple know. The "feedback type" of "bug report" has been removed from the iTunes feedback, so I suggest you use use "Other".
You will not receive any feedback from them, but they do read the submissions and act upon them. It can take a while, and more than one iTunes update before the issue is resolved.

After latest update 20.0.1 when opening a new tab, close, minimize, maximize are not working. Also using arrow in online dropdown menu's are non-selectable.

After automatically updating to version 20.0.1 yesterday the buttons in the upper right corner minimize, maximize, close stop working when I open a new tab. When only one tab is open they do work. Also when downloading a file ( and again this opens a new pop-up window ) after clicking save file there is no response. The save file button looks as if it is pushed but there is no download going on.
I tried safe mode, didn't help.
I tried switching off all add-ons, didn't help.
I tried reset, didn't help.
I even tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, didn't help.
The only thing that works for a couple of seconds is when I go to options in the firefox menu, close the pop-up the buttons in the upper corner are active for a couple of seconds.

Hello,
I kept searching a solution for this problem and I found that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956417
You just have to update the Add-on Firebug from 1.10.6 to the latest version 1.11.2. If it's not that Add-on try with another Add-on.

[SOLVED] KDE switches activities when opening a new File

First off, I've been using KDE Plasma Workspaces for a few months now, and for the most part am largely satisfied. Thanks to both the developers of KDE and to the contributors on Arch who made setting everything up a breeze.
One thing that does annoy me however is how it switches Activities when opening a new file, if the default application already has a running instance. For instance, say I have one Activity which I am using as a development environment and have Kate open to view source. Now I switch to a second Activity where I am working on editing style sheets for my web page and again wish to use Kate. If I open Dolphin and click on one of my style sheets (launching Kate as the default editor) I will be switched back to my first Activity and have the style sheet opened in the already running instance of Kate.
To me this behavior is not ideal, I would rather have the DE spawn a new instance of kate for that Activity. I've perused through some of the settings options but haven't seen anything obvious.

Thanks for the response schmidtbag, but these are both suggestions for opening a file in an existing instance of Kate, when I am looking to instead spawn a new instance (at least for the current Activity). Also, these suggestions are specific to Kate, where I would like this behavior to extend across KDE.
Maybe I am just making a big fuss over nothing, but for me it seems more appropriate to spawn a new instance of a program if I click on a file from a file browser, such as Dolphin. If I wanted to open a file in an already running instance of a program I would use Ctrl+O from that program, or drag the file over to the program as schmidtbag suggested.
I'm thinking about reposting over at kde.org, I'll be sure to follow up back over here, no matter what the outcome is.

CS4 all apps are crashing when opening and Mac can't recognize installation CD to reinstall.

All my CS4 Design Suite applications are crashing when opening. Plus, my Mac won't let me uninstall to reinstall as my G5 Mac OS 10.4.11 won't recognize anything much with the Adobe products. I've been using these apps (legal originals) since January 09 with no problem. Recently received an InDesign file from a PC user that must have been corrupt as it started crashing InDesign. Now everything is crashing. Help!

You probably don't want to publish your personal info in your posts.
A PC virus can't affect a Mac. I don't even have virus software.
since the software does not work in either account there are 2 possibilities. We know its not corrupt prefs because a new account did not work. we know it not some other corruption in the user account. so we have narrowed it down to the actual software or the OS. If it were the applications one or two of them should work. so I would guess it is some thing to do with the system.
My next step would be to do an Archive and Install of the OS then update. This way you keep all your settings and apps but install a new system and user account. If that does not do it I would reinstall the Creative Suite.
