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.)?

  • 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.

  • Saving file as cs4 from cs5 in Illustrator

    I'm super-frustrated. I just upgraded to CS5 and now no one can read my files when I send them to them. Worse, I can't figure out how to save it as a legacy version of Illustrator (preferably CS4). I've done it before under the saveas dialog, but I don't see it there. I read in another forum to look under the Illustrator Options dialog, but I can't find THAT anywhere either. I'm on a Mac.
    Please help!!!

    I'm having an issue with legacy formats as well, but it's slightly different.  Figured I would post it in here rather than starting a new thread for it.
    I have 5 files, each with multiple layers, that were created in Illustrator CS5.  The printer who I'm sending the files to is still working in Illustrator CS3, so I saved them to the CS3 legacy format, and sent him the files.  He replied and said that he wasn't able to open them.  So I tried to open them up in CS4 (which I still have installed on my machine alongside CS5), and I receive this error message on each of the files:
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?  If I save the files in CS4 format and open them in CS4, I am able to open the files, but for some reason they lose their layers.  Both problems are very frustrating, as I don't want to have to save my files as CS4 format, re-open them in CS4, rebuild the layers, and then save them as CS3 out of CS4.

  • Having trouble opening files in CS4

    I am having a color management nightmare and that has lead to my trouble opening files, so I'll explain that color management part first.
    I use Xrite Eye One Display Two as a calibration system and have recently bought a new Hewlet Packard 25 inch LCD monitor. Anyway, I am not seeing the same color outside of photoshop CS4 ext. that I see in photoshop CS4 ext. When I post a picture to the web, the color changes. I did read a post about this a few threads down, but my problem goes one step further. I changed some settings in the Save for Web section of photoshop and now I can't even open files from Bridge or directly from inside photoshop. Can anyone help me get back to just having problems with color? lol
    I am quite the novice when it comes to certain things in adobe photoshop CS4, so thanks for any help or advice you could give me.

    Gotta love the way HP throws out that "72% Color Gamut" spec (e.g., on this page) without actually saying what color profile or standard it's the gamut of.
    Color management is not something that can be easily explained in a paragraph.  Since you're calibrating your monitor it is kind of important for you to understand what it's all about - and such understanding is possible with just a little effort and reading time.  There are a lot of color management overviews online that can be turned up with a Google search.
    No file showing up without any error message seems kind of weird.  Are you using Windowed view or Tabbed view?  I ask because I'm wondering if somehow the document is opening up off-screen.  Do the entries in the Filter menu become active after such an open?
    Does a document show up if you switch the Open Documents as Tabs setting in Edit - Preferences - Interface?
    Have you installed any plug-ins that are supposed to provide access to any file types not available normally in Photoshop?

  • Saving files from CS4 to a network location

    IIRC - I've got some artists that are having an issue in CS4 but not CS2 - when saving files that are on the file server, they get told the file is in use, and they have to save to a temporary file then move it outside of the application... any suggestions on this? Thanks

    That sounds more like an issue with the server's file caching. I recommend you log on to the server, start the group policies editor and look for an Allow users to write files immediately option or whatever it may be called. Should effectively prevent the server from cahing the file first. also note, that if your users do not have dedicated user names and they all are logged on as Admin or User 1, User 2 and so on, it may still cause issues. If they're not already doing so, I'd advise them to use a dedicated user name. Also makes it easier to keep track of who modifiied files...

  • HELP!!!  Saved file in CS4 won't open!!!

    I've been working on a file I created for 4 hours.  Saved properly many times, reopened and resaved with no problems.  Now it won't open.
    Every other file I have opens fine, but this one just freezes up the program.   I tried recovering, deleting the recovery file, etc....
    Job is in jeopardy... any recomendations?

    It sounds like Peter has it hand, but some possibilities are Preflight and SING; you can try disabling them both. What OS?
    What version of InDesign? 6.0.6?

  • 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)?

  • 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.

  • I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9

    I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9.  When I attempt to save I get message saying,"Bad File Handle".  There are several pictures on this file I'm trying to save...dont know if that has anything to do with the problem, just thought it would be helpful information.  Would really appreciate any insight anyone has to offer.
    Thanks in advance

    I am having a similar problem with a simple pdf form.  I have made several changes to the pdf and when I go to save, I get the message that I can't save the file due to a "bad file handle."  I have opened, altered, saved, and closed the form several times before, just not now.  No one else was working on the form.  The file format is still a pdf and nothing has changed.
