Another vector artist and I are collaborating on a project. I worked on it some, emailed it to her, she coloured it. Now, when she sends it back, it downloads as a .ps file (it add…

This may seem obvious but have you tried opening it in CS rather than CS2?

Don't have CS installed... not sure if I have a copy of it... That's ridiculous, though. If she could open my CS2 file, I should be able to open an older file. I used to use CS on…

That might not even work. Just making suggestions.

Any other ideas?

Tell her to save it then .zip it. That usually works when we have problem files from customers. Somehow, sometimes, things get lost in the transfer, either from email or from FTP o…

ZIP = Willing to wager that will help.

It sort of helped. When unarchived, the file appeared as a proper .ai file with the Adobe Illustrator CS ONE logo on it (the pink flower, rather than the orange one), but it still …

Alright, never mind. We found out the problem. Can't use compression when crossing versions, apparently. When I emailed it to her, apparently it all appeared on one layer, and she …

Oooh, that's good to know! I'm glad someone else went through the pain instead of me. Might be good info to have in the future. Thanks!

That is good to know, thanks for sharing.

The Use Compression checkbox. Actually, there are still compatibility issues that we never got sorted out. For some reason, whenever I sent an .ai file to her, all the data appear…

I wonder if its also the 'Preserve PDF editing capbility' setting. Seeing as you noticed tons of clipping paths, it reminds me of when I open a PDF inside of Illustrator.

I'm on a PC using Illustrator CS2, but this might work for you good folks on Macs. Note that I have never compressed this file in any way, nor have I emailed it or opened it on any…

If you first created the .ai in CS2, I am actually surprised it opened in CS. But since it did, it must have converted the file to the legacy CS format, which apparently isn't read…

Help! I installed Tiger over the weekend and now, every single one of my .ai files won't open! I've even gone through the 'open all files with the .ai extension in Illustrator' s…

Have you tried File->Open from within CS?

Please help me, I accidentally threw my ipod in a toilet for a couple of seconds, i was really so worried, i immediately took it at the toilet and i found that my ipod is still wor…

You are out of luck. Accidental damage is not covered under your warranty. If you buy a car and drive it into the swimming pool, do you think you are going to just dry it off and…

I recently bought a Sony Ericcson T610, and it's been great apart for one recurring problem. Randomly (it would seem) it will "drop out" and not recieve any calls or messages (nor…

I had the T616 and T637 (same thing as yours) for over 2 years total and never once had that problem. Could it also be your service?

I have the same phone. I never had the problem of it never receiving calls, only the problem of making calls. Often it shows "connecting," but I always thought it was the serv…

Well, it doesn't seem to be the service, as I remain connected and with reception even when the problem is manifesting itself. That said, I've not tried my service on another phone…
