Answer 1

When you place an image into Illustrator, by default, Illustrator does not "own" it. It simply links to the where the image is held on your hard drive. When you try to open the file on another computer, the pictures won't be there.

You have to embed the images once you place them into illustrator, so that they become part of the .ai file.
