Please help. I can't email or open an ai file

Hello,
I have an online design class deadline for illustrator cs3. i created a jpg file and saved it as save for web. this was semi successful.
I then took the same high resolution jpg document and saved it as the apparent original, ".ai" file. ***For some reason, I am unable to open this CS3 ai file when I send it via email. I can open the file no problem on my mac desktop, but it just does not post on a discussion board or open in gmail. It says that the script is not readable or something, and something about a pdf file. For my class, i am definitely supposed to post an original adobe illustrator file to a discussion board.
I have read that gmail does not accept large files. perhaps this is the problem. anyways, any advice would be great. i dont know how to create a zip, compressed file etc if I need to do this.
my assignment for a design class asked for an illustrator document of 12 inches by 12 inches. I created this new document for the web. is there anything else that i should have checked when saving it as an illustrator (ai) document?
I will be happy to check on the file size, if necessary.
thanks,
clueless

Files sent via email should be compressed first. Right-click on the file and choose
Compress "[filename]" (Leopard) or
Create Archive of '[filename]" (Tiger). Email that file.
If you export a JPEG, then open that, you will only be able to see the rasterized art. You will not have access to the original Adobe Illustrator file that created that image. There is almost certainly no reason for you do do this if the recipient (i.e. you) has Illustrator, too.

  • NEWBIE PLEASE HELP..!! Problem Opening a MIDI file

    Hi all.
    Does anyone have any advice on this strange problem..??? On the Logic Pro 8 Manual it says that : +"When you open a MIDI file in Logic Pro 8, software instrument tracks are automatically created for each MIDI track"+
    My problem is that when I open a MIDI file, (Standard MIDI file) some tracks get assigned to external MIDI instruments, others get assigned to Software instruments. I can't figure out how this might happen.
    I really want to use the software instruments for each MIDI track, not the Quicktime Synthesizer...
    PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS...!!!!
    Thanks

    Well, the thing is that I only want Logic to automatically create the software instruments tracks (EXS, EXS24, Garageband sounds, etc) every time I open a MIDI file
    As a matter of fact I have a Macbook with 10.4 OSX with Logic Pro 8 and this one DOES what it says in the manual (creating the W/W instrument tracks) I just open a MIDI file and the program does all the rest..it assigns a SW instrument for each track... However, I can't do that with my iMac....
    This problem is really driving me insane ....I'm a switcher from Cakewalk SONAR and I really want to use Logic....Please Help..!!

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • I can't create rescuse email to change security questions. Please helps me create rescuse email

    I cant create rescuse email to change security questions. Please helps me create rescuse email

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps you get the questions reset :https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing the number for Apple  in your country and ask to talk to the Account Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    my apple id have been blocked an i do not remember the identity or security question please help what can i do?

    If your account is disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Storeand then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Please help -- How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser without downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash plugin is not available in browser

    Hi,
    Please help
    How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser
    without
    downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash
    plugin is not
    available in browser
    Thanks

    Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
    Adobe/Maromedia web
    site and also at Internet search engines.
    As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
    might find more
    takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

    There is no Siri "icon". You access Siri using the Home button. But you may need to turn it on: Settings App > General > Siri. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992
    Same for the FaceTime function (but if it is ON, there will be an icon): Settings App > FaceTime > [turn it on and set you Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
    How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
