Please Help!! "A File I/O Error Has Occurred" every time I try to save...

[Paul_A...@adobeforums.com]

I'm working on a postcard design for print purposes with several embedded images and text elements. I've saved successfully several times early on, but suddenly, every time I attempt to save, I get the message "A File I/O Error Has Occurred". I need to get this to the printer, but can't make important changes now. HELP!

Thanks,
paul

Are you saving to a Server?

Save locally if you are.

Crazy! Wasn't saving to a server, but to a 2-gig jump drive. When I saved it to my mac's hard drive, no problem. Is there a short answer to why that happens? I didn't appear to be out of space on the external drive...

Thanks Scott!

Check the Trash on the jump drive. It may need to be emptied.

I can't say specifically, the File I/O error clearly indicates that Illustrator can't write to wherever you are asking it to write to. Could be a server without proper permissions, a jump drive formatted as NTFS, a Diskette that's full or locked, etc.

THE SOLUTION:::: Most likely your drive is full, create enough space storage space by clearing your unimportant file, you should be good to go.
