Why can't I save Illustrator CC drawings across a network?

The program doesn't freeze, the system doesn't hang, I get no "Can't save..." error message; the "Save" command just seems to do nothing. I can save to my Desktop fine, but across the network...? P-f-f-f-f-f-t-t!!
InDesign and Photoshop will save wherever I tell them to, local or remote, but Illustrator apparently just doesn't want to be cooperative.
I'm running Creative Cloud on OS X (10.8.5) across a MS Server 2008 (I believe) network.
Any answers greatly appreciated because, while saving locally then manually copying my work over to the share is certainly DOABLE, it just seems like a really kludgey solution.

Don't save directly on servers and don't open directly from servers.

  • Why can't I save Illustrator CC Files?

    I have upgraded to Creative Cloud and now find that I cannot save any files in Illustrator.  The file usually saves once but subsequent saves bring up a message saying it cannot save due to various reasons and labelled ID: -54.  I then have to resave the file under a different name each time.  Sometimes it pretends it has saved but then when I reopen the file I find it has lost all my work so I will not trust it again!
    I am running windows 7 on a pc and I have upgraded from Adobe CS4.  I have never had problems before.  Did not want to upgrade to Cloud based product but you gave us no choice and now it is nothing but problems.
    Incidentally I am also not happy that you cannot get hold of a support member.  I needed results today and did not expect to have to wait for a forum to help me.

    That's most likely some external tool simply grabbing a hold of your files liek some overzealus virus scanner, an indexing tool, a sync software, some automated backup tool, whatever... Make your tools behave, choose a different save location that may be outside the reach of such automated tools. And naturally check your hardware:

  • In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

    why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
    the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
    at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
    APPLE HELP!

    I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
    Save to the Camera Roll
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
    Tap Camera Roll.
    Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

  • Why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option now?

    Hi,
    why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option for saving .png in Save As diolog box now? It was working fine until yesterday. Neither I can open a .png file nor save my psd file to png file?
    Please help. I am using Microsoft Window XP Professional and Photoshop CS4.

    In Photoshop CS4, .png open/save support was provided by a plug-in.  It is possible the plug-in has been deleted or moved, or has become unavailable to Photoshop because of a change in file protections.
    Do you have the file PNG.8BI on your system.  It should be here on a 32 bit Windows system:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats\PNG.8BI

    Vanessa,
    You need to have Application manager installed.

  • I use firefox 9, why can not I save as image on google image?

    I use firefox 9, why can not I save as image on google image?

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Why can't i save the same bookmarks in different locations?

    Why can't I save a bookmark for a particular site in multiple locations? If I already have it saved, for instance, in the bookmarks menu, and I then try to save an additional copy into the bookmarks folder, the copy in the bookmarks menu will disappear. This is incredibly frustrating. Thanks.

    Using the "star" at the right end of the Location bar, you can only save to one location.
    Using the Bookmark Sidebar (CTRL+B opens and closes the Bookmarks Sidebar), you can drag the icon at the left end of the Location Bar to other locations, one at a time, into a folder (will be placed at the bottom of the items already in the folder) or into any position, including a position within a folder. The image below demonstrates; the image is old, but the method still works. This is the only method that I use for Bookmarking, as I place some Bookmarks in multiple folders and I keep the Bookmarks Sidebar open most of the time for easier access.

  • Why can't i save contacts

    why can i not save contacts ??
    and on settings, 'mail,contacts and calendars' - i can not access this page ????

    When you zoom you're not chnaging the image at all, just looking at more closely, like using binoculars. Using binoculars doesn't actually bring the object closer. So with zooming. I think you might want to explore cropping.

  • Why can't I save an icc profile to a template?

    Why can't I save an icc profile to a template?

    Just tested it... LR5 on Win7 correctly remembers the ICC profile settings in the print templates. Furthermore, internal settings of the printer driver (if printer-level color mgt is used) should be remembered, too (I didn't test this now). Which LR-version/OS are you using? Perhaps others can reproduce the problem.
    Or do you mean why ICC profiles can't be embedded diretly in the print template file, e.g. to transfer them to another computer? This would be difficult because ICC profiles have to be "formally" installed in the operating system before use. Although LR could be able to use "local" profiles I suppose (but that wouldn't be a "clean" use of ICC profiles).

    Mark Kipperman

    Yeah, if this is the way it's supposed to work its a useless and, dare I say, stupid "feature". Wouldn't the whole point of this be to have quick access to groups of pages. If I have to select them each time to create the group what is it doing for me?
