Illustrator 2014: Scratch disk Preference keeps resetting itself

Hello the Illustrator community.

I've noticed recently that in my CC 2014 Illustrator 18.0.0, the drive working preference setting still reset itself. I use a MacBook pro with an SSD only, but I have an SSD of Thunderbolt of Lacie external that I had to use as a disk scratch for Illustrator and Photoshop. The problem is that if I set the preference scratch to be used externally as the principal and my school start, all right and me let us know that the change will take effect once it is reopened. The reopening of Illustrator, I'll double check and it is saved, and everything works fine. But if I happen to open Illustrator without my external attached, when I check the preference of scratch, he will return to the use of the commissioning as the main place to scratch, I understand.  But the next time Illustrator opens with my connected externally, the setting still scrape by default using the startup disk. At this point, I would need to change the preference, Illustrator to close and then reopen to make sure that Illustrator uses externally as zero.

If for some reason it isn't saving my preference for the drive to work, while all other preferences seem to be registered properly. Photoshop of CC, in 2014 I can set preferences for scratch, which works fine, close Photoshop and reopen without attached externally and then close and reopen with handed out in place, and he will remember my preference to have the primary external as the scratch.

It's just the way that illustrator is supposed to work, or is it maybe a bug? Someone at - it experience with this?

I used Illustrator CC 17.x.x before that but did not notice that if it work the same way, since that day there I didn't have a dedicated disk that you want to use.

Thank you very much, I look forward your help and responses!

The last thing that Adobe HAVE done on a renunciation is to write the existing State of the preferences to disk file. If it uses the local HD than zero, it is what is saved in the preferences.

  • Network preferences keep resetting, cannot change or update

    This has been fixed, but I couldn't find where someone else had a similar problem, so I thought I would describe the problem and how I got around him.

    The problem is after the installation of El Capitan (upgrade from Mavericks), upgrade wiped out my network configuration. It took me a while to realize that he had activated my WiFi and erased my wired ethernet config. When I went into system-> Network Preferences and tried to enter values, I couldn't enter anything, because he would have reset my entries or interrupt me with a dialog box until I can finish. I couldn't change any settings, even the manual settings.

    The cause of this problem is that, my Mac Pro for a reason, not connecting not reliable to my gigabit switch Gigabit speed. My other computers do, but not the Mac Pro. The easy solution is to manually configure the adapter to use 100 Mbps and it then connects reliably. (I tried different cables, etc..) El Capitan wouldn't let me configure the adapter for 100 Mbps. He kept just reset the config on auto.

    After reboot and around hunting for preference files to remove, I diverted the ethernet connection to my 100 Mbps router, so the adapter would choose 100 Mbps. Once I did that network preferences has allowed me to enter an IP address, subnet mask, router, DNS, etc., while I couldn't before. I went to the hardware configuration and selected manual config/100Mbps on the adapter. He may also have worked just to unplug the cable and configure the adapter when you are not connected. It seems that the system continuously tries to connect to 1000Mbps and reset, which resets the pane preferences constantly, not to let whatever it is automatically registered.

    As far as I am concerned, this is a bug. I have not encountered this before El Capitan. However, it is unlikely that Apple will resolve this anytime soon, because it requires you to have some sort of marginal hardware configuration that causes the adapter to think he can connect to 1000Mbps and then immediately fail to do.

    This has been resolved.

  • "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full."

    "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full." This is the error message that appears when I try to open my Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. I just installed this program on my new HP Pavilion model h8-1214, which has 1.8 TB of space with 10.0 GB of RAM. I have read the forums on this problem, but they say how to solve the problem through Photoshop. How can I fix the scratch disk settings without being able to open Photoshop? Please help me with this problem of the Adobe Support team will not even answer my question...

    Thank you.

    By far the simplest solution is to upgrade to photoshop elements 10 or newer, which has no problem with big hard drives and has some new features you may like.

    It is available for a 30 day trial.

    In fact the pse versions 3 and later versions have no problem with large hard drives.

    Here are some things you can try that might work:

    Option 1: Just after the double click on the PES shortened 2 press the Ctrl + Alt keys and press and hold keys until you get the scratch disk Preferences dialog box

    then choose your recovery as the first partition. This only works if you have a recovery partition or another hard drive smaller installed that you can use as the scratch disk.

    (I don't have a partition recovery on this computer)

    Option 2. Retractable (shrink volume) present HDD up to 1 TB

    Option 3: If you have windows 7 pro or ultimate, you can use virtual xp (download from microsoft)

  • Quirk of scratch disk

    I have quite a few projects that when opened, keep reset the video and Audio excerpts for the same that the location of the project, no matter how many times I delete these folders from the hard drive and set the location in the project settings where I want them to be.

    Anyone else seeing this?  This is something that you may need to search specifically, as it happens in the background, and we can not notice unless you have checked.

    Hi Jim,.

    We are aware of the Scratch disk problem. We hope to have this resolved soon.

    If you set the custom location when you first create the project, we remind the custom path.

  • Photoshop Scratch Disk Error OSX Lion 10.7.3

    I got Photoshop CS5 installed on my system for over a year, and it worked fine all this time under Snow Leopard. Now that I've updated for Lion, Photoshop does not open because of these messages:

    Cannot open a file because the disk is not available.

    Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available.

    The disk in question is a 80 GB of a 1 TB internal hard drive partition. If I delete the preferences file (pressing cmd-shift-opt when PS is started) then it starts very well. If I go into preferences and reset to use the scratch disk, then next time I try to open the program I get the same 2 error messages and I have to give up the preferences again.

    There is nothing wrong with the disks, I checked the. And anyway, I use this drive work with Photoshop for the last year with no problems. It was only after I switched to Lion that he began to arrive.

    I need to take advantage of the increase in performance that offers a scratch disk. Anyone have any ideas on what is happening or how to fix this?

    Chris,

    Thank you for responding. I think you're onto something. I looked in the disk utility to see if I could fix the permissions on the volume to zero, as suggested Lundberg, however the option to do so was intoxicated because of this message: ' not available because the selected disc is set on ignore permissions. So I went to the score, shot to the top of the box to get the information and saw that the "Ignore ownership on this Volume" checkbox is unchecked . I checked to see what would happen, and that is always dimmed in disk utility to repair permissions, now Photoshop starts perfectly, even with the scratch partition defined as Photoshop Scratch drive problem.

    It's the wrong way to do the correct answer?

    Regarding your other suggestions, I was able to go on record to reach the record partnership, and I saw that he said I could read only. I could add my user account and give him permission to read/write through the dialog box get information (I'm afraid Terminal unless I have clear instructions). I want? I also looked in the /volumes folder and there is apparently nothing that it contains, unless folders are hidden I guess. I checked the permissions of my primary drive (boot drive, on which all my applications reside) and they claim that I have read/write privileges. However I'm just viewing it in the box to read the information. is not the right place to see/change? Because all this time the partition scratch claimed also that I have read/write permissions and who was obviously not true, as alone, he started to work right after I checked "ignore ownership on this Volume". But it is incredibly confusing because I was able to Save files on the Photoshop scratch disk. I couldn't just pick as a scratch disk.

    The question is: is it ok that I simply chose to ignore permissions on these discs and I messed with the partnership, file, or should I do something else?
