Does this happen with all files?

EVen newly created simple files?

Which options when saving?

Is a printer connected and turned on?

Which fonts are used? Font amangement?

Where do you save files? Is this a watched folder? A synched folder? an iDisk (or whatever Apple calls their new toy?)

[akbars56493990]

crash happens when im working on multiple files and saving them. after i finish with first and second files, its not crashing but after trying to save the third file or after, its crashing.

due to my work, i have deal with many files and work one them daily.

i save my files simply by clicking on menu and save. the file in saved at desktop.

the printer is connected and its on.

i dont use fonts much. mostly working on graphics and drawings.

[Monika Gause]

Which file system is set up in your High Sierra. Apple has messed with that a lot. And has introduced some kind of cloud synching or whatever. Please describe how your system is set up.

Apple's new file system and the new Cloud synching has some threads in this forum dedicated to it.

Bottom line: don't use it.

I have the same issue and doing some searching on the internet it looks like so do a number of other people.

My set-up is similar to yours, AI 2018 on MacOS 10.13, problem begun immediately after upgrade to MacOS 10.13 and CC2018 (forced to upgrade to 10.13 because CC2018 would not install current versions on the slightly older version of Mac OS X 10.10 that I was running before the update).

I also have a Windows 10 machine running CC 2018 that does not have the same problem and I did not have this problem on AI2017 and Mac OS X 10.10.

Just days ago there was one thread in which the issue could be solved by getting out of the Cloud synching.

Can you please post details?

Hi,

I get the same problem on three different filesystems: APFS on system volume; HFS on secondary data volume and also on network drive using CIFS. No cloud sync enabled and it wouldn’t apply for the CIFS volume anyway.

Problem seems to be related to safe saves in that a tmp file is left behind. This tmp file is actually the saved ai file so I’m guessing that Illustrator crashes when trying to delete the original file before renaming the temporary file. The original ai file is held open after illustrator crashes and can’t be deleted, moved or renamed, suggesting that Illustrator still had the file open when it crashed, only way to resolve the file being held open is to restart the MAC (a logoff may work too, I’ve not tried).

I’m not sure if this is a problem introduced by AI 2018 or by MacOS 10.13. I still have AI 2017 installed so I can test whether the problem happens in that. Whichever it is, it’s an AI specific problem as no other applications seem to have the same problem.

I'm having what seems to be nearly the exact same issue. I'm saving to a Windows server network share, and I see the problem appear with any AI file that I try. I'm able to do an initial save of the file, but then it's typically the second time that I save the file it will give me a "Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder". Strangely, if I do "save as" and leave the file name as is, then select to replace, it will allow me to save and begin the save process...until it terminates with this crash:

Saving locally to the primary drive seems to be unaffected. This only happens when saving to the server-hosted network drive.

Trying to look for options for resolutions, but I really only see suggestions to "disable the cloud syncing". Has this worked for others? And what does this refer to? How to you do it?

[Monika Gause]

You all know that there are serious issues with High Sierra when saving to remote volumes, right?

Thanks, Monika.

So, I'm curious what your perspective is on this. Are you suggesting that the problem lies squarely in Apple's court and that a High Sierra user's best option is to wait and hope that Apple pushes out an OS update that resolves the issue? Or are there other worthwhile workarounds that someone can offer? I'm trying to get a sense of what my various options are so that my productivity doesn't continue to be hampered.

Thanks.

[Monika Gause]

At the moment I don't have an idea as to how to solve this kind of issues.

Personally: I won't install High Sierra. That doesn't help you, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately these problems have appeared in the forums before and they couldn't be solved. Looks like nobody has a clue how to solve this stuff. High Sierra doesn't even need other applications running in order to crash – it can produce crashes all on its own. That makes searching for issues inside Illustrator even harder.

Experiencing same issues, AI CC2018 on High Sierra, saving to SMB share. Saving locally is fine but not a solution. Anyone come across any fixes that work? We tested turning off SMB 2/3 packet signing but it did not resolve the issue.

[alexs19102977]

Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem but this is only recently.  We have just moved our network share from an old XP pro machine to a windows 7 machine using an SSD drive, I think the problem must have something to do with the file sharing within windows 7/8 etc.. as it was absolutely fine on XP.  Anyone have any ideas??

I'm having the same problem with illustrator 2018, but i have not upgraded to high sierra. I'm on regular sierra. any thoughts?

Please create your own new thread. It's impossible to help multiple people with individual issues on the same thread.

But first check if installing a printer and saving to local harddisk solves your issue.
