Unknown Error [PARM]
Hello,
While using Adobe Illustrator CC 2014, the box "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [PARM]" keeps coming up. I've seen lots of solutions for various PARM codes; but there's no error code, so I'm not sure how to fix it exactly. I have to click ok to the unknown error box twice and then "An error occurred while processing the appearance of an object." pops up.
System Specs:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
iMac, Late 2012
2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB RAM 1600 MHz DDR3
Bad Parameter error unfortunately does ton tell us exactly what could be the problem. Does this happen on new files you create or an existing ones you are editing? This error happened on many asian versions of Illustrator or scripts needing coding improvements.
Disable any non adobe extensions loaded in Illustrator?
Reset your Illustrator prefs (hold down shift option command ) immediately after starting illustrator
Reset your font cache download free fontnuke
Run disk Utility to fix permissions

In my MAC OS X 10.6.8 appear this msg "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error (PARM)"
When I called Adobe, I was pretty much told that they would not offer any assistance. I offered to purchase the incident support, but they said that wasn't an option with this problem. I had to badger the guy just to get him to say that he believed it was caused by an inability of our network account users to write to the local hard drive. What is below is the results of my attempts to research and solve the problem from that point.
The way we addressed it was to make a second partition (only 10GB) on the local computers and give full read & write access to it for everyone. Then, we instructed our students to set their Scratch location to that new partition. This does indeed resolve the [PARM] error and some problems trying to save and open large files. It does not address the SUITEPEA errors we are getting in our console log though.
To change the Scratch location:
- click Illustrator in the menu bar
- select Preferences
- click Plug-ins and Scratch
- use the drop-down menu to change the Primary scratch disk
- click OK
Sadly, the above must be done per each individual user and I have not yet found a way to push the preference using Workgroup Manager since the Illustrator preference file is not a normal .plist and the Scratch portion is a rather lengthy string of characters. Adobe did not make this one easy on us and they're not willing to support it (or weren't in my case).
I wish the rest of you better luck than I have had on this issue.
The funny thing is - if Adobe used /Users/Shared for the default scratch location instead of whatever location it currently is, I don't think this would be a problem since all users (in a default Mac OS X install) have full access to /Users/Shared -
Illustrator Bonding Box or Free Transform Encounter-Unknown Error PARM
Hi,
I'm working in CS5 illustrtor on a Mac the error message I keep getting when trying to scale a Bounding box is "Bounding Box or Free Transform encountered an unknown error:" PARM
Please help! I really don't know what to do. I saw some replys on this but I don't really understand exactly what to do. The statement was that it might be corrupted and need to restart and hold down some buttons on restart? Does that mean when I start up the machine or the program, am I to hold down cmd+opt+shift? I am assuming that crl+opt+shift is for a pc? Also I'm not sure about moving the folder, what's that all about, it stated something like: illy is not to be used or should be off, something like that I don't remember exactly. I need a little bit more information on all this…I'm kind of learning all this and I would like a clarification or instruction on this, if possible. Thanks so much for your help.
lyndeeThanks Scott,
Your advice did the Trick! Just wondering and assuming…if I have this kind of problem in any of the other Adobe CS5 programs, this would work as well?…Yes?
Thanks again for your time to answer my questions.

Unknown error - (PARM), .pdf settings and Illustrator problems
I am using Illustrator CS3, and recently I no longer had choices for .pdf settings when saving from Illustrator as a .pdf. The only setting is "Custom" and I can't scroll to another choice. As I understand it, if I load .pdf settings in Illustrator they are available in all Adobe applications (very possibly wrong about that), but when I choose Edit: Adobe PDF Presets, I get an error message: "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. (PARM)". Also when I try to save an .eps file as an AI document, I get the message "An unknown error has occurred."
I have thrown away my preferences to no avail, and am afraid I am going to have to reload Illustrator CS3, which I downloaded last year and do not have the disks for, I which I am having a very hard time trying to download again. (This part I guess I have to call about).
I usually work in Quark, but recently worked in some files in InDesign, and that's when this started, I think. Perhaps a coincidence. Many thanks in advance for any help.AM,
Okay, so sorry. But you and Wade are official, right? Can you help point me
in the right direction for getting replacement disks for my legally
purchased software Or getting download help so that I might re-download?
We are rather unofficial natives here. You should contact Adobe Customer Support about downloading.
You should be able to get rid of the error if you Move the folder, but it is still worth having the backup, even if you upgrade. -
The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [Parm]
I manage computer labs for a small college and we recently installed Adobe CS3 Design Premium on our Macintosh labs. When a user launches Adobe Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2), they see a widget with the Ai (Adobe Illustrator) icon and the following text "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [Parm]" and an OK button. At the same time, the console log (~/Library/Logs/Adobe Illustrator CS3/AISuitePea.log) is flooded with something called SuitePea throwing errors, such as these below (this is only a small portion of those thrown):

Some google searching suggested multiple means of dealing with this, from Disk Utility Permissions Repair to plug-in issues/removal. So far, nothing I have tried has yielded any results. My latest attempt was fully uninstalling CS3 using the utility on the CD, and then manually removing all remaining portions I could find on the hard drive (prefs, remaining folders, etc...), rebooting, and then resintalling, but have found I encounter the same result.
Does anyone know what this SuitePea is or what to do about this kind of error?

"Error: PARM" in Illustrator CS4?
Just loaded CS4 on Snow Leopard (legally) and I'm getting the following error when I try to re-size anything (using Command, Shift, drag):
Bounding Box or Free Transform encountered an unknown error. Error: PARM
This is making it really hard to get anything done.
Help!!!!Cizzer,
Three years ago, on this day, an identical issue was solved on a Win PC in this way: Move the folder (deleting the preferences was not enough). -
I have an iphone 4 nearly 2 yrs old. It has worked perfectly for that time. On Friday last (whilst away on holiday) I took the phone out of my pocket & it was lifeless. I tried switching it on, no joy, I tried the power/home button reset no joy. I plugged it into a mains charger & it came on but had a banner across the screen saying "verification required". I removed the charger & decided I would try again when I got home so I could connect to my PC & iTunes.
At home I went through the whole above process again but when I plugged it into the mains again it just had the Apple logo going on/off repeatedly. I plugged the phone into my PC & the apple logo appeared followed by the "connect to iTunes". In iTunes I get the banner "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". So I click on "OK" the "Restore" then a banner asking if I'm sure I want to restopre the iPhone appears, press "Restore & Update". iTunes starts to remove the software, veryfies it with Apple & then another flag "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (21) which appears to be a security issue.
I thought the above problem was something to do with O2 because I picked up my new iPhone 4S last Tuesday but was unable to set it up until I got back from my holiday, O2 say it isn't anything they've done.
My question is has it happened to anyone & can anybody offer a solution, is it a hardware or software issue?Please see the two articles below:

Unknown Error during Recovery - iPad no longer Recognized by iTunes
I have a 3rd Generation iPad which I was attempting to perform a factory reset. I received an "Unknown Error" during the process and from that point on I have been unable to get iTunes to recognize my iPad in recovery mode (or otherwise).
I have tried every thread on the subject, but I found one interesting thing. If I connect the iPad with the same cable, etc. to another computer it immediately recognizes it in recovery mode and offers to restore the iPad.
It seems like my computer is not recognizing the iPad because it was in the process of restoring the device when the error occurred. Does anyone know if there is a way to reset or fix this issue. I would prefer not to update iTunes and download both the new iTunes and iPad software again and use another computer if it is not necessary.
Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksHey KSHItunes,
That was a good test to try your iPad on another computer. It does seem to isolate the issue to something with your computer setup.
Although you would prefer not to update iTunes, there may be steps in this article which can help.

Ipod no longer authorized (unknown error -42408)
posted this at itunes site as well.
out of blue, having problem i've never had syncing my 60G ipod.
for years have been syncing this ipod with my itunes on my macbook (only). for the past few times (?month or so), i'm getting an error message when i try to sync that first says, the ipod/macbook is not authorized for this ipod (which it always has been).
then it asks me if i want to authorize it. when i hit "authorize", it brings up an old itunes account i had and asks me for the old password, which i enter. then i get an error message that says:
"unknown error -42408. error in itunes store. please try again later."
how do i fix this so that i don't get this error message and can continue syncing with my most recent account, which has NEVER been a problem in the past?
thanks.I have exactly the same problem. My iPod is a 30GB one from 2005 or 2006 (I don't know how to identify its category). When it was new, I had a PC; then a year and a half ago I switched to a Mac and got everything transferred ok, and have been synching the iPod to the Mac with no trouble since then. (Well, slight trouble, because the iPod is now very full, and I haven't figured out the best way to synch "almost everything", but so far I'm managing somehow.) But just before leaving Moscow March 10, I wanted to synch and recharge the iPod, and got the same problem, with the same sequence of messages described at the start of this thread. So I only recharged it. Now I'm in Amherst, tried again, exact same problem. So now only recharging again.
Same computer, same iPod, why does it suddenly not recognize that this computer is authorized to synch this iPod, and why does it make this error when I tell it to authorize it? And how can I fix it?
Grateful for any help.

I bought today a new iPad from Rideau Store. The setup guys didn't update to latest software version. I tried to do myself trough iTunes, which notify me that an upgrade is available. After a while the upgrading process froze with a msg "unknown error ..". I clicked on the More info button and I got a page saying "due to a scheduled upgrade of Apple's support system some feature are not available.
The bottom line is that now the iTunes does detect the iPad being in recovering mode and asks to restore it to fabrics defaults. I tried to do this and again I got aqn "unknown error"
Finally I run the iTunes diagnostics to check the connectivity between my iPad and my HP laptop (iTunes). For unknown reson the iTunes does not detect my iPad. See below the diagnostics log:

I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening. P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?
I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -
