Insufficient Memory in Adobe Illustrator

Hello everyone! Please help me to understand the incomprehensible phenomenon of the program. Something wrong with the memory of a computer, for the first time i have faced such issue. The error message says Insufficient Memory was Available to Complete the Operation. Is there a way to solve the problem or to set the memory usage in Illustrator CS4?

It is obvious your scratch disk does not have enough space. I would say that truth about the memory problem is the Very Critical Memory Bug that comes with CS4. You can try to disable all the apps that are running at the same time, but the problem can be still here. Installing of a current AI version might help. Also try to save a TIF of the image in Photoshop, it could be a quick fix to the problem. Or reduced the pixels number.

If nothing helps, use a special software that is able to recover it. There are a lot of on network, but unfortunately not all of them are so good. Try Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator https://illustrator.recoverytoolbox.com/

Oh, also i've remembered one method: Unlock all the layers and 'select all' and 'copy'. Than create a new doc and paste your image in there. Save the document with a new name.

Adobe illustrator file corruption. What to do?

Hi,
First check your illustrator. Could it open other files or not? Try to create new file and save it, then open again.
Try to open your corrupted file on another PC. Then if it doesn't work, it means that your file is corrupted. So you should try to restore it by Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator . You can download it here http://www.illustrator.recoverytoolbox.com/
Also you can read here about corrupted file recovery: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/513-adobe-illustrator-file-corruption

I cant open a new file, template or old file. My Illustrator CS just crashes. Please help

Double click on My Computer on your desktop and open C:>Documents and Settings > User >Application Data > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS2 Settings. (Your version of Illustrator will be in the foldr name.) Inside this folder is a file called AIPrefs. Drag this file to the trash, and restart Illustrator. Reset any custom preferences you want, and when you close Illustrator the preferences file will be regenerated.

You can also reset Illustrator's preferences by holding down Shift + Control + Alt while launching the program. If you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the Adobe Illustrator settings folder, click yes to proceed. Restart Illustrator. Reset any custom preferences you want, and when you close Illustrator the preferences file will be regenerated.

I am trying to download adobe illustrations but i do not know how can you please help me

Your question is a little confusing since you're saying "Illustrations" as opposed to "illustrator".

The name of the program is Adobe Illustrator. So I'll assume you want to download the program and not the art "illustrations" created by the program.

Go to this URL:

http://www.adobe.com/downloads

Look for the [ Ai ] icon and hover your mouse over it.

Choose either TRY or BUY

If you choose TRY that means the program will eventually stop running after a set period of time unless you buy the software.

Assuming you chose TRY, the next screen will ask you to create an account. This just asks for your email address and user name etc. Create the account and follow the instructions to download.

Do you mean Adobe Illustrator? If you go to www.adobe.com you can download a free trial version that works. If you mean that you want to open an Adobe file like *.psd for Photoshop, *.ai for Illustrator or Adobe *.pdf for Acrobat then you must have an application that can open that file which the aforementioned url will gladly provide. ~Steve Medley
