Illustrator & Mohave
I performed the upgrade to Mojave 10.14 yesterday from High Sierra. Now I am dealing with some really strange & frustrating Finder & Adobe CC behavior. "An unexpected error occurred (error code -8011)" when I try to rename files in Finder.
Illustrator, instead of saving over my open working files, is generating new file versions named in numerical order -without my doing- and I am unable to change these filenames after closing them all and renaming them in Finder. And it sometimes skips a save, too. For example, when I hit Save in Illustrator, new file appears named "Filename 1.ai,…
1 voteIllustrator version 22 is not supported on macOS 10.14 (Mojave).
Please upgrade to version 23 to see if it resolves the issue.the error as seen in screenshot is form Apple Os, you may want to contact them to resolve finder issues

program not responding
So I deleted my old version of Illustrator since Adobe kept sending warnings saying I was using a cracked version. So I went ahead and purchased the 1 year and now that the new Illustrator is installed, it just keeps freezing and saying program not responding. I liked the old version better plus it was already paid off

Not responsonding
Every time I am working in Illustrator & switch to a different app, Illustrator will hang when I return causing me to wait prior to returning to my work. So, for example if I am working on an illustration then go to google chrome to look at something online then return to my work in Illustrator it will hang & become unresponsive for a little bit of time (1 - 2 minutes) after waiting I can continue to work . I have already followed the steps outline by Adobe (found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-illustrator-performance-windows.html) to increase performance within the app &…

Illustrator is not frozen but you can't see anything you're doing to your work
Since the update I have had a lot of issues when creating art. Everything starts smoothly, I can see everything I'm doing in real time and can see which brush strokes I'm creating. A little ways through drawing, I can no longer see my brush strokes. I can click other options in illustrator (i.e. select layers, lock and unlock, hover over options etc.) and do other things in the process but I can't see anything that i'm actually doing to my artwork! I have to restart the program almost every ten minutes and it's driving me absolutely mad. Is there…

Freezing when working on files with lots of details
I've noticed others are having this exact same problem:
When working on files with a large number of items, the program will freeze up the whole computer -- necessitating a forced reboot. This happens constantly with the latest update.

Illustrator locking up
Since the latest update for Adobe Illustrator on Mac I have found it locks up frequently with complex files. The cursor turns into the spinning umbrella and will stay that way for several minutes.

Resizing Bug
Been having a lot of issues with a bug in the last couple weeks. I frequently find that the bounding box disappears (even when I have on 'show bounding box') absolutely out of nowhere. The program then proceeds to get very glitchy when trying to move the selected text, then crashes and shuts down. Doesn't allow transformations. I find myself restarting the program multiple times a day and it is honestly unacceptable. This is the most up to date version of illustrator.
