Unable to save .ai file on my m1 MacBook pro (I'm on Monterey 12.6)

I'm having this issue right now on Monterey
12.4, no way to save to my computer which is causing me all kinds of headaches.

Just to let you know that the 12.4 MacOS update fixed it for me.

I began experiencing the same issue today.
MacOS 12.3. How do you fix that?

I can not save the illustrator file onto my PC after updating to Monterey!!

illustrator crash when create new file with Monterey 12.3.1

The issue is not fixed for me in the 12.3.1 update. I'm still getting the same message and unable to save.

Can't save files in 26.2 nor in 26.1 on new M1 with Monterey! Ai no longer can save or save as This is a critical issue in german localised version only!

installing en_us version instead all works fine...
must be some right management based on the de_De folder!

On Macbook Pro M1 chip Monterey 12.3, Illustrator 26.1
Cant save even new files, "tried but could not save"

Any solutions?

Same issue. MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max, 64 GB RAM. macOS Monterey 12.3. Adobe Illustrator 26.1.

The 'work around' i.e. changing the size of the 'save as' box worked well for me. I only had to change it once and since then I have been able to save both to my computer and the cloud. I am told the 'work around' can be used for InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

Also downloaded the Illustrator Beta version and that works fine.

Thanks to whoever came up with the solution!

the same problems for me too. mac os 12.3 m1 chips, ai - 26.1.
It is really not helping with my work, please solve it asap. please, it's really annoying .

Yes, cannot save on MacOS Monterey 12.3 with M1.

Hey Im also dealing with this issue. Looking into it with Adobe Support as we speak.

I was directed to download Illustrator Beta from 'Beta Apps' in Creative Cloud. This version (26.2) works fine.

I have exactly the same problem!! which it's huge problems that I can't work at all!
I even clean install my Mac, it works for few days and here it is again!!

Save as is greyed out, save as works for first time but next time it is greyed out!

Tried these already -

1. Reset preferences.
2. Removed Suitcase fusion and font doctor.
3. Performed font cache and restarted computer.
4. Validated fonts in font book.
5. Installed 25.4.1 version of A but same issue.
6. Current Ai version is 26.1.
7. Issue is with creating new files

@ankitgoyal, your "resize save window" workaround solves my issue for SAVE, SAVE AS, and SAVE A COPY files on my desktop. thanks

After installing Monterey 12.3 I'm also unable to save any Ai (26.1) file on my MacbookPro. Nothing works so I have to forceQuit Ai. I can however still save in Icloud. Please ADOBE give us the solution or upgrade 26.2 asap. thx!
update: AH ok , resizing the frame works indeed, didn't read it yet)

Whilst we're waiting for a workable solution to this bug. I've been saving new documents to the Creative Cloud storage space, then viewing the list of documents via a web browser, downloading the cloud doc to my desktop, which then turns it into a standard AI file.

It's not ideal, but it now means I can create new AI files and still do my job.
