An unknown error has occured while saving to .ai file

After reading through tons of topics about "An unknown error has occured" I still can't find any suitable sollution for the problem.
So, my observations are:
I have both 32- and 64-bit versions of Adobe Illustrator CS6
The error occurs only with the 64-bit version,
The error occurs only when saving files containing text objects.
Unchecking "Create PDF Compatible File" doesn't solve the problem.
Reseting Illustrator's settings also doesn't help.
If somebody has solved this problem, please help. It's pretty much time taking switching between the two versions and I also have files pretty big enough that require opening in the 64 bit version.
Best regards,
Yani.

I have the same error, I'm working with Illustrator CC on my MacBook Pro Retina 15" (late 2012 model) with OS X Yosemite, my video card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.
Earlier I haven't any problem with illustrator, but now I have. Help ma please.

The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)

Every few minutes, I get an error message from iTunes that says:
"The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)"
Quitting and restarting iTunes doesn't seem to make the error go away. All of my music and movies seem to play just fine - not sure why the error keeps popping up - any clues?
- iTunes library is located in it's normal spot (~/user/music/iTunes/)
- OS 10.8.2
- iTunes 10
- iMac 27" early 2010

Thanks again for the gracious response UV.
You've pointed out a problem...there are a lot of WAV files that I have like unreleased live shows of bands like the Beatles, Neil Young, Miles Davis etc that I've gotten off Bittorrent trading. When I look at the "get info" part of the song in iTunes the details that I've hand entered (dates, venue, song, musicians,etc) does show up.
But when I go back to the actual file itself, many are simply tagged something like "track 1" and the only way I currently keep track of all this is how I organize my library ( Musician or Band folder \ Album folder \ indivual tracks). There are literally thousounds of songs that I've entered data for on these WAV files.
Besides getting my current error problem fixed, has anyone who trades live shows come up with an easier way to organize their music. I understand that I may be in the minority with all my WAV files and that many users simply upload CDS, or mostly buy tracks online which is easier to simply grab the data back if they need from some database. I feel like I'm missing out on something big. Maybe I just need a different program for my particular application (archiving & playing music). ANy ideas from other bittorrent traders of unreleased material?
I am learning more and more about how this all works by the minute, and have taken your advice UV about copying all my current library info and putting it somewhere safe. Hopefully this means everything I've entered up until a few days ago will be fine. Still, I have plenty music waiting for me to hear in FLAC files that need to be decoded into WAV files; but I want to wait to do this until I can be certain all my hard work entering data won't go to waste and my error problem has been fixed.
thanks for all insights - Sonny

ITunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)

I have been having the following message appear in iTunes:
iTunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)
I created a new library which seemed to solve the problem.... until I plugged in my iPod Classic or tried to Sync my iPhone. When this happened this warning message would come every 10 seconds or so making it a nightmare to do anything as the dock icon would bounce or iTunes would pop up. Can anyone suggest what might have caused this problem and how to resolve it.
Thanks
Matt

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

CS3 when saving message "an unknown error has occurred"

In illustrator CS3 when trying to saving the message "an unknown error has occurred" pops up. The only way I can get a file to save is saving it as an template. I've tried reinstalling and removing the preferences. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

AArrrrrrrggghhh!!!!!!! phew.. sorry.
I have the same problem and I have come to a schtuck. The problem began out of the blue in my illustrator CS2 which was working fine before, so I upgraded to CS3, and the problem is still there, I have tried removing the preferences, I have uninstalled all versions of illustrator including preferences from the PC and reinstalled only CS3 brand new straight out the box. Still won't save.
Any ideas anyone?
I think it's ridiculous that we have paid £2000 for the New CS3 master collection and it doesn't work properly! how can adobe release software with a problem so big as this and charge so much for it? My boss rang adobe yesterday to ask for help and after a long while of not getting anywhere the adobe guy he was speaking to said 'I've had enough of you' and hung up the phone!!! What is that all about? we are legitimate paying customers of adobe for the last 10 years or more! I have now missed a big deadline because of this and am in a mind to asassinate someone at adobe! hahahaha.
Sorry to rant guys but come on adobe! sort it out!
Anyway,
If ANYONE has an aswer or an idea of how I can fix this problem and get back to work I would be very grateful.
some info about my project incase it helps:
I am using CS3 master collection freshly installed on a Dell precision 650 PC with intel xeron processor, XP operating system, 37.6GB free hard disk space, 2 Megs of ram, Nivida Graphics card.
My Illustrator project is a 0.5x2 metre banner made up of a large number of collaged Hi resolution JPEG photographic images. The only composition I have used is Opacity masks with feather effects.
There is no text in the project and no other elements apart from the masked and feathered images.
the original images are stored on an external hard drive with loads of free space on it.
Any ideas I would be very grateful, as I said I have already tried deleting the illustrator settings and preferences files, and re-installed CS3 to no avail.
Thanks! Beth

Installed itunes 11 and now I get the following message 'The itunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error has occured (-50)

Installed itunes 11 and now I get the following message 'The itunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error has occured (-50). How do I fix this problem?

Same problem here since latest update. As usual poor support from Apple with no answer or fix for this bug.

The iPod " " could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).

This is what saved my day... I copied this from a longer reply.
"Try this: I got error 1417. The iPod "Dan's iPod" could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).
1)Plug in your iPod and wait for iTunes to tell you an update for it is available
2)Click the Install button on that dialog and keep an eye on your iPod
3)When your iPod screen switches from the flashing "Do Not Disconnect" message to the Main Menu screen, unplug the iPod, wait a couple SECONDS, plug the iPod back in
4)You should notice some slow-down in the progress meter and a new dialog box should come up and tell you your iPod is being updated and to not disconnect it until the update finishes
5)That's it. Wait for the update to finish and iTunes will re-recognize it and show its new up-to-date status."
The only thing I would add, restart your computer with the IPOD left connected. When it starts back up you are set.

Does this article contain anything useful?

HP scanning error: "An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to..

HP scanning error: “An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.” Dr. Google finds others with this problem. Some claim that this is caused by an upgrade of Apple OS10 (which I did do). One claims that HP has a "patch" for this problem. If I try to quit HP scan, it won't quit and freezes my computer. Here's the odd thing. I have no problem scanning in a colored page from Scientific American either before or after this error (after rebooting each time), but simple black and white documents started just today to give the error message above.

Thank you for the link however if I understood all of the instructions I would still be reluctant to try this on my own especially from a third unknown party where some of the information may be wrong and/or lost in translation. (Google translation at the end of this comment). The instructions say to uninstall the software. So if I uninstall the original HP software am I using the original disk to reinstall and then personalize again?What about all of the updates since I originally installed the software? I found the Disk Utility but what is "gatekeeper"And I am using OS X 10.9.1 that is current because I downloaded the latest upgrade. How would I reinstall it?And at what point do I go to the URL for the software drivers and the patch? This is just not practical for someone who is not proficient in troubleshooting applications.I switched to Apple because I don't want to have to go through this kind of process, take my time to fix the application and potentially mess up my system . WHy should I have to try to figure out how to retrieve the normal function in this case, of my All-In-One. If it is so simple why can't HP develop the fix and make it available? Unfortunately right now I have to find an alternative to scan some important business documents that are due today. Since I am using an older printer by technology standards even though it is working fine I may be looking for a replacement and HP may no longer be at the top of my list given that the problem appears to affect other HP models. No need to answer my questions, I'm not going to try this fix based on these instructions. Please HP provide a fix for this problem with the scanner and MAC OS X 10.9.1 compatibility! Translation of the information on the suggested link: We hereby send you a guide that should help you in solving the problem .Please carry the following: 1 Please uninstall the software again .Goto -> Programs - > Hewlett -Packard - > HP Uninstaller 2 Please repair permissions on your Mac .Go -> Utilities -> Disk Utility - > Repair Disk Permissions . 3 Please disable ' gatekeeper ' on your Mac . 4 Reinstall the full software for MAC 10.6 and patch for 10.7 / 10.8 / 10.9.

Illustrator CS6 - An unknown error has occured

When saving a file in illustrator CS6 the error comes up as "An unknown error has occured".
I can not save my files at all, export them as any other filetype or print them to PDF.
I have figured out it is any element with transparancy causing the issue... if I delete or flatten the items, I can save..
Any Ideas hoe to rectify this as it is stuffing everything up for me...

I've been having the same problem when I save a ANY of my AI file as PDF with Printer Marls (Trim Marks etc). No transparencies, no effects, just pure type (tried outlined and live) and flat shapes. Not sure what to do, I tried to trash the settings folder, reboot computer and nothing

Try one by one i think 1 one will help you for sure
1.Try updating the published database stats, well do all four Project Server databases using this command against each database
EXEC SP_updatestats
query will take time to execute depends on data.
2. see the
link
3. These types of errors are likely caused by one of the following:
Corruption in the project data being viewed
Basic corruption in the view configuration.
For #1 this can be a custom field value that is filtered where one project has an invalid (null?) value for the field in question, so often just removing any filters configured on the view will fix this.
If you identify the filter in question then see the tips above about republishing (or possibly re-saving AND re-publishing) some or all projects to correct the data.
For #2 there are few options other than to recreate the view, copying the current view sometimes helps but not reliably.

An unknown error has occured - opening file

Hi, I'm trying to open a few different AI files that I created and saved a few days ago. They are both giving me an "an uknown error has occurred" message and won't let me open them. I've tried restarting and updating illustrator. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks.

cskdr,
It the issue is limited to specific files:
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
http://www.illustrator.fixtoolbox.com/
As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:
http://daxxter.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/how-to-recover-a-corrupted-illustrator-ai-file/

If the issue applies to all files:
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 at least 5 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.

Photoshop CC 2014 - The file can not be saved in path because an error has occurred

Hello,
I need again help regarding this issue. Sometimes but very often I receive an error, trying to save a PSD file, the error is: "The file can not be saved in <path> because an error has occurred". After that it is not possible to save the file in any format, using save or save in dialog. The only way to rescue the result is, to save for web as an jpeg. This error occours often using Topaz or NIK filter and until now only in PS-CC 2014. My workflow looks like this:
- Open NEF RAW file in Brdige
- Settings in ACR and give it into PS by clicking OK in ACR
- In PS doing a adjust some levels
- press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
- Uing Topaz Adjust on the new level with 65% opacity
- press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
- Using Topaz DeNoise on the new layer
- pres STRG+i and resize the image to 1200x797
- Using Topaz InFocus on the same layer as DeNoise
- create a vignette with brightness adjustlayer
After this workflow in nearly 90% it is not possible to save the file as PSD or something else, only to save for web as JPG. If I save the file after opening the RAW in PS and after every layer with Topaz Filter, I can save the file when I am done. Same issue occurs using NIK Filters in that way.
I tried to optimize the performance by using this guide: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html doesn’t solve the issue.
I re- and installed all Adobe Products more than three times, doesn't solve the issu.
After that I ordered a new SSD drive and insall Windows 7 64bit inkl. All latest hotfixes, patches and drivers. I downloaded the newest Adobe Versions and the newest filter sets from Topaz and NIK. Doesn’t solve the issue.
This is my rig:
Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H mainboard
Intel Core i7 4770k
32GB Corsair RAM
250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD Drive
nVidia Geforce GTX770
During my tests I took the same RAW File and created nearly 20 adjustment layers and summary layers, without using Topaz or NIK filters. No problem, I was able to save the file as PSD file.
From my point of view, actually, the error occurs only when I am using Topaz or NIK filters. Both supports doesn’t know the issue and if I search the web, I can’t find more then me. It seemed to depend on my settings, my rig or something else, perhaps a cache is overflowed or something like this. Adobe telephone support can’t help because I said I use a third party filter. But it occurs with two different manufactures…
So please guys, help me to figure out why this error occurs in my system.
Thanks in Advance and best regards,
Michael

Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.
