Question

Illustrator Crashing

I started having issues with illustrator around late November, when it automatically updated. Since then, my Illustrator crashes whenever I save my file. I have uninstalled the 2025 version and reinstalled the 2024 version, but that one is having the same problem now. I have reset my preferences, freed up space on my computer, and have run the Creative Cloud Diagnostics, but nothing has fixed this issue.

Please let me know what else I can do to to resolve this.

Hello @Elisheva29515561013s,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having saving files in Illustrator. Would you mind checking if Full Disk Access is enabled for Illustrator (if you're on a Mac), and disabling any Antivirus software if enabled to see if it helps? Also kindly confirm the version of the OS and if Illustrator behaves this way with files stored on a specific folder so I can better assist you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have a Macbook Pro 2021, OS 13.2.1 (22D68). Illustrator hasn't really done this before except for a couple of times, and those files were in different folders. I have turned on Full Disk Access, and I will let you know if it works. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have turned on Full Access, and I thought it had worked. However, the only program saves when the file is being saved to the Adobe Cloud and not my computer. When I save the file to my computer, it crashes, both the 2025 and 2024 versions.
