File corrupted help

so i just purchased an album off the itunes store and it downloaded fine. but the 2nd song on the album won't download and it says file may be corrupted err -100000. so i called the customer support line and after being tossed around for a half hour they told me they could fix the problem for me by tracing my account or something and it would cost me $60.......because they screwed up they wanted me to pay $60 to fix the corrupted file of 1 song...a song that cost $1...a song on an album i just payed $10 for. it kind of feels like a scam, or strong arm robbery and i'm pretty annoyed about it right now. can anyone give me any ideas on how to solve this problem (of the corrupted file)
at the very least i'd like to know to to cancel the purchase and get my money back....or at least report the problem or something

No "scam" involved. The iTunes Store has no telephone support. You called the normal Apple support line, and yes, they do charge for all non-warranty issues absent an AppleCare agreement (if they can do anything about an iTunes Store issue even then). Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

It could be Word or even Windows that is having the problem. Before you start trying to restore a backup or repair a file, try opening other documents.
Try opening your "corrupt" document from another computer. Also you can try to make a copy of corrupted files. (It could work) : http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/microsoft/microsoft-aa/word/968-i-would-be-grateful-for-any-help-to-repair-or-the-procedures-word-files

HELP: Flash Drive accepts files when I run them files corrupted

So I have my flash drive partitioned in the Master Boot Record because in all other forms it will not appear on my computer. However, when it is partitioned like this, it will appear to accept files when I transfer them, but when I run them I receive a files corrupted message or error-43.
I understand the Master Boot record is intended for windows, but when I partition the drive in GPT or Apple Partition Map the drive is inaccessible on my computer completely. I do not care about being able to transfer files to a PC, I just want to use my flash drive back-up and save files too. If anyone knows how I could do this I would really appreciate it.
I searched the forums and could not find anything that has worked for me so if someone knows where it is I would appreciate a link, or if you know how to do it, I would appreciate the advice!
Thanks

Nearly everything that stops working used to work at some point. If you cannot format the drive on either a Mac (why not go back to that Mac it worked on "months ago?") or a PC, then for all practical purposes it's dead. Return if under warranty, or get a new one.

Is there a cure for persistent file corruptions across the suite?

i am having terrible and consistent problems with file corruptions across the suite. for example…
1: i collected for output (indesign) – corrupted over 100 small images that were linked.
2: opened an indesign job and all linked files failed to update and could not be imported (simply would not import those files and were all corrupted).
3: had a hang in photoshop followed by a 150:30 error (would not open any of my applications). this prompted a clean install of system and adobe cs4 see below
4: most recently, had a hang in photoshop (photoshop will also no "force quit") whilst indesign was open. two of my image files corrupted and, most surprisingly, all my illustrator files that i had placed also corrupted (will not even open in illustrator any more). illustrator was not even running at the time, so, get this – a hang in photoshop destroys illustrator files simply because they are placed in indesign.
this last event has made me more certain than ever that there is a fundamental problem at the cs4 core.
can anyone help?
please note the following:
i am running a macintosh imac, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (latest imac), with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram.
before this last disaster, i had reloaded the system software (archive and install), and updated it all the way to version 10.5.8
i then uninstalled the creative suite, ran the cleanscript from adobe, reloaded the creative suite, downloaded all the cs4 updates
(so, latest mac, latest system, latest cs4 – all clean installs).
is there something i can do? or is this just a very unstable and disappointing upgrade – i have had nothing but problems from day one!
many thanks if anyone has any advice.

Please try this KB article's solutions, and report back on how it went for you. If you can provide details about any recent OS updates, backups, or migrations, that would help is nail down the root cause of the new rash of this error for Mac users recently:

RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
can this happened due to data base or log file corruption, if so how can i check on that to verify the issue
Its not necessary if the issue is with network it would happen every day IMO it basically happens when load on network is high and you transfer log file which is big in size.
As per message database engine was not able to restore log backup and said that you must rebuild log because it did not find out log to be consistent. From here it seems log corruption.
Is it the same log file you restored ? if that is the case since log file was corrupt it would ofcourse give error on wehatever server you restore.
Can you try creating logshipping on new server by taking fresh full and log backup and see if you get issue there as well. I would also say you to raise case with Microsoft and let them tell what is root cause to this problem

File Corruption During Sync Windows 8.1

Hi
I have recently introduced some Windows 8.1 systems into our environment, a Sony laptop and a non branded custom build, both systems are running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Our environment is as follows:
Windows Server 2008 domain
PPTP VPN for laptop users using a Watchguard X515.
Netgear ReadyNAS 2100 for Network Folders.
Folder redirection in place for Documents and Desktop.
Offline files in use. Users have the ability to make shared network files available offline if required.
The first device we had with 8.1 Pro was a Sony laptop for our Marketing Director. He has manually made a few shared network folders available offline for when he is out of the office and unable to connect to the VPN.
We first noticed an issue a few weeks ago when he came to me telling me that one of his documents were corrupt. The file was one of the ones he has made available offline. When he got into the office he ran a manual sync, to put the updates onto
our shared drive. When he next came to open it, the file was corrupt with the following message:
'Excel cannot open the file 'XXXX XXXX.xlsx' because the file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'.
I ran the file through Excel's file repair, which couldn't fix the problem and I tried a few software packages from the internet which said the file was unrecoverable, to no avail. We tried to recreate the issue but couldn't so we put it down to a one
off. A few days later, it happened again under the same circumstances.
I put it down to something happening while the laptop was offline, however whilst researching this, the same problem happened on a Windows 8.1 Pro Desktop. This system never leaves the office, which led to some confusion.
Everywhere I look points to ransomware, however I have run full scans with Sophos and Malwarebytes, and both come back clean, and the issue is only occurring on 8.1 Pro systems, 7 Pro and 8 Pro systems are fine.
The user with the 8.1 Pro desktop created a test spreadsheet for me, and this morning we managed to recreate the problem. When running a manual sync, the Offline Files comes back with an error, stating that the network copy has been deleted, would you
like to copy the local copy or delete it? When we copy the local copy to the network, and then try to open it, we get the previous error about file corruption.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I will have to roll the systems back to Windows 7 if I cant get it resolved, which would be a shame as the laptop is has a flip screen to turn it into a tablet.
Cheers
Jim

File corruption with a very large .ai file

A little background first:
I am a graphic designer/cartographer with 15+ years of experience. I started making maps in Illustrator with version 6 and have upgraded to every version since.
My machines:
2x Mac Pro 8-core 3.0GHz, 16GB RAM, 10.5.7
Mac Pro quad-core 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 10.5.7
MacBook Pro 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 10.5.7
Illustrator specs:
All machines have CS4 installed as well as Illustrator 10.
The 8-core MPs have the MAPublisher Plug-ins installed
The 4-core and MacBook Pro (MBP) does not have the MAPublisher Plug-ins
The problem I am having can be replicated on each of the machines. The MBP can't handle the file due to RAM. Since this occurs on machines that has MAPublisher installed and a machine that does not, I think we can rule out a plug-in issue.
File specs:
The original file: version 10, file size (uncompressed, no PDF support, and no font-embedding) is 36.4 MB. There are no raster effects or embedded/placed images. This is strictly a vector file. Artboard Dimensions: 85.288 in x 81.042 in
The original file, converted with CS4, and then saved as a CS4 file: file size (uncompressed, no PDF support, and no font-embedding) is 97.9 MB.
Brief Description of the problem:
I have tried to convert this file into every version of CS and it has failed every time. With each version, it has resulted in an unusable file for different reasons. CS-CS3, the file was completely unusable because of the opening/saving time. It could take as long as 3 hours to save the file. With CS4, this has been rectified and I once again tried to convert it. Upon re-opening of the 'converted' CS4 native file, the file is 'corrupted'.
The file corruption is not your regular "This file can't be opened because of: X" corruption. The file opens after a save/close just fine. It is just that parts of the file gets destroyed. To save space in this post, I have created a webpage that illustrates the problem that I am having:
http://newatlas.com/ai_problem/
I have tried everything possible to make the file smaller and it is as slimmed down as I can make it. (Using symbols, styles, etc.) I have also tried to eliminate this as a font problem by replacing every font with an Adobe supplied font, cleared caches, etc. This does not work, so I think we can rule out a font issue. I have also reduced this file to contain no pattern fills, no gradients, and just used simple fills and strokes. All to no avail. I have also tried piecing the file back together into a new document by copying/pasting a layer at a time. Saving, closing and re-opening after each paste cycle. I can get about 95% of it put back together and then it will manifest the problem. The only thing I haven't done is to convert all of the type to outlines. This would not solve my problem since this is a map that I continually work on year after year. I also can't remove objects or cut the overall area of the map because this file is used to produce an atlas book, a wall map and custom boundary wall maps. You can view the entire file at:
http://okc.cocpub.com
If I do not convert the legacy text, the file saves/closes/re-opens just fine. It just takes a very long time. So this leads me to think that the cause of the problem is the number of editable type objects that this file has. Ever since Adobe changed the Type Engine, I haven't been able to use this file in current versions of Illustrator.
If I could get this file to open, uncorrupted, I could finally get rid of Illustrator 10. Illustrator 10 does not have any problem with this file (and is still faster than CS4 in everything except selecting a lot of objects.)
I am posting this on the forums for any other opinions/ideas from the 'Illustrator Gurus' as a first step. I want to get in contact with someone at Adobe to see if we can address this problem and possibly get it fixed with CS5. I know that this is a user-to-user forum, but I'm not sure who, where and how to contact Adobe for this issue. Maybe someone on these forums can help with that as well.
Thank you for your patience for getting this far in my long post and I would really appreciate any response.
Dave

Thanks Wade for responding,
Did you try trashing your Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder in your User's Preferences?
Yes, I've tried deleting prefs. Basically I've tried to rule out any problems with Illustrator as a whole. This issue has also occured on a clean install of OS X and Illustrator on a new User Account with the opening of this file being the first task that Illustrator has. There is no problem with Illustrator per se, but I think it is more of a limitation in Illustrator based on the number of type objects.
You could also try saving it out of 10 as a pdf or as postscript and distilling it then open that in ai or place it id a blank AI document.
Did you try to place instead of opening it?
I haven't tried any of these since the resulting file would be utterly unusable. Basically this would create a 'flat' file with 'broken' strings of text (type on a path especially) and type being uneditable. (Now that I think about it, CS4 does a much better job of opening pdfs without breaking type.) I still think this approach is not really a prudent course of action since, as of now, I can continue to maintain this map in Illy 10.
In my experimentation, the results are as follows:
1. Opening the file without updating the legacy type, saving the file as a new document, closing and then re-opening results in a file you would expect. Every object is where it is supposed to be. Downfall of this method: I absolutely need the type to be editable, especially the 'Street Type' since this type is actually used to create map indexes.
2. Opening the file with updating the legacy type, saving the file as a new document, closing and then re-opening results in a file that exhibits the exact behavior that has been posted in the thread-starter. This method results in the 'Bruce Gray' type being the duplicated item.
3. Opening the file without updating the legacy type, then splitting the file into layer groups and saving as separate files. Then opening the resulting CS4 files, updating the legacy type, copy & pasting (with layer structure) into a new document results in a usable file up to a point. I can get about 95% of it put back together and then the problem manifests. I have thought that it might be a "bad" object on one of the layers but I have ruled that out by: a.) All of the resulting sub-files (files that are portions of the larger) exhibit no problems at all. Usually our PS printers find issues that Illy does not and there is no problem in RIPing the sub-files. b.) If I change the paste order, meaning copying & pasting from the top-most layers to the bottom-most layers, vice-versa, and a completely random paste order, different objects (other than the 'Bruce Gray' type) will be duplicated. I've had one of my park screens, a zip code type object and a school district boundary be the duplicated object.
All of these experiments has lead me to believe that the Illustrator Type Engine is the main facilitor. I just don't think it can handle that many individual point type objects. I know CS4 can handle the number of objects, based on the fact that a legacy type (non-updated) file works.
I am almost entirely sure that Illustrator is working exactly as it is supposed to and that the vast majority of Illy users will never run into this issue. This file is by far the largest file that I work on. I would just like to be able to use an Intel native version of CS to continue maintaining this map.
On a side note: About three years ago, I tried working with this file in Freehand MX. Freehand initially would open the Illy file without a problem. I could work on it but when I would save it as a Freehand file, close it and re-open it, I would get your standard File Corruption. It would partially open, give me a corruption dialog, and open the file as a blank document. I alwa ys knew there was a reason to use Illustrator over Freehand for making maps.

File corrupt error

Hello All,
Using Adobe Mobile Packager and a swf files, i created a package for the Symbion Phones which is a self signed .sis file. When i tried installing it to the phone.......it gave an error "File Corrupt Error" .
Any guesses for the error?????
Also, the .swf file was created using CS3 suite. I don't know if this is a silly question........but can Adobe Mobile packager create package for swf files created using CS3........or is it only for .....CS4???????
Would appreicate all replies or any kind of help for this issue.
Thanks and Regards
H.R.

I don't use adobe mobile packager for this purpose; however there are some basic things to worry about during packaging so that your file won't be corrupted:
1> Did you Entered Correct UID order for an edition (2nd or 3rd Editions)?
2> Did you create .key and .cer files ? (key and certificate) ?
3> Did your Swf run normally in the mobile phone before packaging ?
4> Did you make sure you entered a valid path for your application to be installed during extraction ?

EA3500 HDD File corruption

Hello, everyone!
I have recently bought a cisco EA3500 router for my home network and i am pretty surprised to see that a router from the world leader in the networking domain cannot perform as expected.
The first problem i had was that the network (wired and wireless) was dropping from time to time for a couple of minutes with the power led of the router blinking. I turned off the log feature of the router and it seems that until now the problem is resolved.
Now, the second and, at least as annoying as the first, is that i have a 640gb usb hdd connected to the router, formatted NTFS.
It seems that every now and then a file gets corrupted, that is, it is transformed into a folder! And it cannot be recovered without pulling out the hdd and using a 3rd parth software for file recovery.
I have the latest firmware. Should i switch back to the classic firmware instead of the "fancy" new one? I really need my files on that drive, so i cannot risk loosing them in this random manner.
Thank you.

I have installed the older, classic firmware. The internet drops seems to have been fixed, but the HDD file corruption still persists! Please help! I lost some important files from my HDD. I cannot believe this is happening on a cisco router.
I quickly learned that the EA3500 does not have the processing power to handle a large disk. This is especially true if there are a large number of files on the disk. Save yourself some aggravation and connect the disk to a 24/7 computer. I no longer use the EA3500 USB port for anything. It was unstable even with a 2 GB thumb drive.
It was Cisco in name only. Now that Cisco has sold Linksys it is just a Linksys router.

Com.sap.km.cm.docs file corruption error

Problem Description
Within the Portal there are several html files served up to a user through the KM repository. These html files contain links that open up 'pdf' files stored within the KM repository. These links are served to the user via the 'com.sap.cm.km.docs' par file. There seems to be some problem with this par file which streams a file across to an end-users browser from the KM repository.
For some users, when they click on a link to a pdf file they get a 'File corrupted' message on their browser's end. They always get this error no matter how many times they open it up. Other users on other desktops can click on the link and receive the file without any error. Also the same user can open up links to other pdf files without a problem.
Has anybody faced this problem. This is a very sproadic incidence that happens. When we do a binary comparison of the file sent by com.sap.km.cm.docs par file there is a binary difference however the size are same.
Please let me know if you know what the problem could be or have come across the same.

Hello! Ankur,
We had the same problem and we successfully resolved it. The problem resides in PDF readers, please fallow the below steps to solve it.

More jpg file corruption

I've had another jpg file corrupted in the same manner as before and this time the file hasn't been touched recently by anything but LR. My second copy was also corrupt because I "back up" too often. Fortunately, it's easy for me to get files back from my internet backup, which is written only once. To get to my CDs or DVDs would require digging in a closet.
To me this brings a lot of issues to the fore with jpg handling, both what I do with them and what LR does with them. First, if you are going to rewrite files frequently (I only write metadata on demand, not automatically) then you have to know how to do it safely! On my side, it may be stupid to write it out -- nope, not, because I have to in order to edit in PS and retain the metadata. I have almost innumerable LR backups and the metadata is in there. I have considerable experience now in plopping in an absolute original file and LR happily applies everything to it. Hum. I'm forgetting the PS edits which would not be backed up with this plan.
The existence of 1 to 1 previews makes it very slow to SEE a problem in LR. I haven't used these files for months until the 9th when I started working on them. The first day or so it was grinding a lot, obviously making previews. So the good preview of this file had to be made on the 9th or a bit after so the file was OK at that time. In fact, everything looked fine until I decided to edit a copy of the file in PS. It stumbled and flickered the screen and then created a preview with only the top third or so of the file intact and the bottom part "faded." These appear to still be (almost) valid jpg file, but the content has been damaged.
I have used jpg files for years and I don't remember a time when I've had jpg file corruption. I may have forgotten an instance, but it doesn't come to mind. I've had 3 or 4 them now with LR.
These jpg files were created from scans and I have manipulated them to put the capture date, date digitized, and some global type information. I use exifer, a product that's been used for many years by many people (and not updated recently). If exifer is a problem, why only a handful of corruptions in thousands of files?
It's difficult to have a sensible backup plan except to keep the originals somewhere really safe. Even with metadata writing turned off by default, these files churn. I cannot keep every version of jpg files. And keeping the old files for a short period does not help because bad files don't show up in LR under many circumstances because of the preview files.
I don't know if this is relevant but I never had this happen with LR 1.0.
This is very worrisome and I'm going to get grouchy soon! You guys with RAW are really lucky that LR doesn't write to your files! I'd now love to have an option of a sidecar file which I could write to the jpg only when I'm ready to and have a way to check that the resulting file is still intact.
Of course I haven't proven there isn't an issue with my disk drive, but I've now proven it to myself that there's a very high probability that LR is corrupting jpg files when writing out metadata. I would like to hear if others using jpg files have had corruptions.

Hi, I too also have just experienced jpg corruption. It was a jpg that had been taken several years ago and had not been edited at all. The bottom left hand corner had been transposed from the right hand side. The result of this was the whole bottom 1/5 of the picture was shifted to the right. Also the color of the shifted portion was slightly different from the rest. This is the first jpg corruption in Lightroom I have seen. My backup was the same but fortunately I had a copy on DVD. I am using Windows version of Lightroom 1.2, tried 1.3 and decided to go back to 1.2
Does anyone know if this type of corruption only happens to jpg files. Would it be worthwhile marking them all read-only. I plan to check my other jpgs to see if there are any more corruptions. I mainly shoot RAW now and convert to DNG

Files corrupted in zone after box reset

Hi
We have a system where we somtimes have file corruption in a zone.
We are running
Solaris 10 6/06
Solaris Volumemanagement RAID-1/Mirror on two SCSI disksWe have not yet been able to reproduce it.
Does anyone have any idea of what it might be or have ideas of how to reproduce it?
Have a nice day
Henry

We have a similar configuration with RAID1/mirror and occationally see the same file being corrupted after a box reset. Haven't been able to reproduce it. I know it is not of much help, but always nice to know that you are not alone.

Canon5d problem processing to jpegs, files corrupt or truncate

I'm baffled. I am using both CS2 & CS3. I have a mac dual 2.0 with OSX 10.4.11. The camera is a Canon 5d. Here's the deal. When I batch process or even single process, some of the files develop truncated. The thumbnails have between 10% to 90%of the image visible, it varies. There is no pattern, sometimes it does every file sometimes maybe 1 out of 10. Some files still open as Jpeg's others have the file corrupted message and then open exactly like the thumbnails, a portion of the image the rest grey. If I try developing the image again, it usually corrects on the first try, sometimes 2nd or 3rd, it always eventually develops complete. This does not happen in the canon raw conversion but I don't like it. I had all the current updates in both CS2 and CS, I just reinstalled CS3 without updates, still does it. I tried it using a 10d, no problem. I have 5.5 gigs of memory. Any ideas? Thanks Lance.

Re routine maintenance:
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help. Try it anyway, though.

Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.
