Addresses in Contacts become corrupted when synchronised

When I enter a new address into Contacts on my MacBook Pro, there may be up to 3 lines in the 'Street' box.
For example:      Flat 1
                           Churchill House
                           23 High Street
When I then synchronise my MacBook Pro Contacts via iCloud to my iPhones and iPad (both running on iOS 7.0.6), the 'Street' part of the address will corrupt and Lines 1, 2 and 3 will then appear as 3, 2 and 1 or any other random combination in the iPad and iPhone but usually remains as Lines 1, 2 and 3 in the MacBook Pro! However, on occasion, the synchronisation process will also change the order in the MacBook Pro.
I have tried carefully re-entering the addresses affected, but to no avail!
Can anyone offer any help or advice, please?

Ah! At last. Somone else who has the same problem as I do. Doing any editing of a contact on my Mac Mini running 10.9.2 causes the house, street or city fields to swap places on my iOS 7.1 devices. Examining the contacts on iCloud shows the correct order but with some address fields missing.
It doesn't matter how trivial the edit on the Mini. Even just the addition of a space to a contact's notes causes the corruption during the next sync. The only place the problem can be corrected is on iCloud as there are not enough lines available on the iOS Contacts app to correct them there. The address usually appears OK on the Mac Mini even though it is corrupted on iCloud and the iOS devices although sometimes it has the same corruption.
I don't know when the problem started but I believe it was before iOS 7.1 on the iPhone and iPad, so I think it might have been the update to 10.9.2 on the Mini that caused it, unless it's an iCloud bug which needs sorting. I'm sure the problem didn't exist initially after first upgrading to Mavericks. As the corruption happens when making an edit on the Mini, I can only assume some sort of mis-communication between the Mavericks Contacts app and iCloud with iOS being totally innocent. But who knows?
The problem is not a user account corruption. I created a new user account and it had the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

Using Lightroom 5.7, Raw files become from my Nikon D810 become corrupted when I select them to view or edit.

.Updated to Lightroom 5.7 to accommodate the Nikon D810. Upon importing RAW files to the files become corrupted when they are selected to be viewed or edited.
I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, with 8 GB Ram.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are several likely sources of corruption, and video card would be far down on my list of possible suspects.
The transfer from camera card to hard disk is the most likely place for problem, either the card reader or USB cable can go bad. Another likely source of problems is the computer's hard disk is starting to fail. The camera card itself may be bad. And lastly, the memory in the computer may be malfunctioning.

Video files seem to become corrupted when I adjust speed

Hello,
I have started editing a new project, and am experiencing a familiar problem that I have encountered in the past, but which was never really resolved. I'm not very technical, so apologies if my description of the problem is simplstic.
The problem is that after making certain edits in the Project window, I find that the entire project has some how become corrupted: i.e. every single clip becomes impossible to edit - I can't spool through the clips and view them in the screen by dragging my mouse cursor over them, and I can't even delete the clip whose edit seemed to result in the corruption.
If I leave the project to go back to the project library, it is now impossible to re-enter the project. The words "edit project" in the button at the top left become grey. I find that the most common cause for this problem is whenever I attempt to adjust the speed of a clip, or reverse it. Is this a common problem with a simple solution?
I have come up with a makeshift solution, which is far from satisfactory, but does sometimes help: I remove the file in the iMovie Events folder in Finder that contains the clips that I can no longer edit, and open up iMovie. The event library in iMovie will now be empty; I replace the events files back into the iMovie Events folder in Finder, then import a random clip into iMovie. The random clip is imported into a seprate event of its own, and the original file that I had put back into iMovie Events reappears simultaneously. Sometimes when I do this, the clips in the Project library are editable again, but not always.
However, I would far rather that the programme simply processed my edits without corrupting the project. Is anyone familliar with this problem, and does anyone have a solution. Thank you very much in advance.

Email Attachments Become Corrupted When Moved to a Different Mailbox

I believe that I have stumbled upon a bug in Mountain Lion mail. Here is the set up:
Server:
Mac OS X Mountain Lion Server 10.8.2 running IMAP email service
Clients:
An assortment of Macs all running Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 using Mail as the mail client over IMAP.
Issue:
Ever since upgrading all company Macs to Mountain Lion we have recieved complaints from people that email attachments are occationaly becoming currupted once moved to other mailboxes such as the Trash or even other IMAP folders. The symptom has not been observed to occur with other mail services such as gMail or iCloud but rather seems to be isolated to how Mountain Lion Mail handles moved emails with attachments on an IMAP service hosted on Mountain Lion server. The issue also seems to be related to PDF attachments only. We could not get the issue to reoccur with say a Pages document. The issue also does not always occur but occurs about 90% of the time.
The email essentially goes from looking normal in the inbox to containing this text in it after it has been moved to another mailbox (obviously the real thing is like a hundred pages long):
--Apple-Mail=_6C0E1272-08D2-7895-83FF-2F03EF82B31D
Content-Disposition: inline;
          filename="example.pdf"
Content-Type: application/pdf;
          x-unix-mode=0644;
          name="example.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Now if that same email, now moved into a new mailbox, apearing corupted to the Mac Mail client, is viewed from say an iPhone or iPad, the attachment appears normal. If a new Mac client is set up to read that email account that email also appears normal. This would indicate that issue does not seem to be occuring server side but however seems related to a cashe issue with the Mail client.
Temporary Fix:
Now this is not a good fix but deleting the entire /User/Library/Mail folder and forcing Mail to completely reconnect to the IMAP server and redownload all headers and attachements fixes the issue. However this only fixes the emails that once appeard corrupted to the client. Any new emails moved around will continue to get corupted. Syncronizing the mailbox does nothing to rectify the issue.
Plee for help:
Obviosuly this is a serious issue and must be rectified. We are using the most standard and Mac friendly/default set up possible (even a Mac server). Has anyone expereinced this issue or want to venture a guess on how to fix it? Does it seem like a bug in the Mail client to you? Any ideas???
I really apprecaite the help.

Oh man! So they say "We know this is a bug and we can't fix it since Tiger" ????? This is Apple with an army of developers and they can't fix this annoying issue???? WHAT???? I think this is a not a day more problem to fix and their professional OS X Server is affected by this problem as well and they don't fix it... their own software... what a customer care!!!
Anyway it sounds ******** and the solution is the same category... if you have only one mail in the mailbox and move to an other on a certain type of server it's getting corrupted, but the rebuild process works and when you move back it will be corrupted again! They should fix this but it looks like they will never fix it... it's a shame from a big company which sells premium products.
So if you still in contact with an Apple technician and they're opened I can provide both of the server platform when the problem can be proofed. (one where the sync is ok and one where it isn't and only with one mail in it ) Please contact me and I can help!
You can try other mail softwares and they can handle the imap protocol without major problems. I tried the following ones:
- Postbox
- Thunderbird
- Sparrow
- Mail Mate
Both works very wall but any of them is so integrated as the mail app with osx. Unfortunately if you live in the apple ecosystem and own more than one mac computer you will stuck with the apple one with all of its bugs.
...since Tiger... I can't get over it...
Sorry guys I getting angry when I hear this kind of stories...

Songs show as okay but become corrupted when played on iTunes?

I'm working with my 64gb iPod Touch 5th Generation.
My family has been known to have problems with computers and therefore iTunes so we decided to take action about a year ago. When we would decide to upload a CD to iTunes, we would download it on the hard drive of our computer then drag it on to a flash drive then if we had to transfer our iTunes to another computer we wouldn't have to download that CD again; we could just put in the flash drive and just 'Add File to Library'. Yesterday, I put some more CDs on the flash drives and today I sat down at 11:00 expecting to be done adding them to the library by one including a lunch break. I was there until four.
I had to wait for almost all of the music files to convert to the correct file format so that took a lot of time. My original plan was to add every song on the flash drives then go back through each artist and delete the corrupted songs (the ones with the exclamation mark [!]) and the duplicates. As I went through after I finished adding them all, I realized that songs that were problem-free last time were now corrupted. Another thing that I noticed which stressed me out the most was the fact that even when a song did not have an exclamation mark, it could still be corrupted. I found that out when trying to play a song and it (the exclamation mark) just popped up next to it with the usual 'Find the location of the track' message. I then realized that I would have to 'play' (double-click) EVERY. SINGLE. SONG. If I wanted to get rid of every unneccessary song. I had 2300 songs and the length of that project just drew the line for me. I figured I would come one here and try to find a solution but I couldn't find a discussion with the same problem.
So here is my official question: How do I prevent the not-corrupted songs from getting corrupted?
Please note that the songs that actually transferred when I sync'd it were a mix of every song I had purchased, some songs that had survived from the last sync, and some new songs from the flash drives.
I am working with Windows XP.
Thank you in advance for the ideas and if at all possible, I would love to avoid having to restart my iPod. My iTunes is 11.0.1.12.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

File extensions become corrupted when sending attachments in Mail

Hi,
Since I upgraded to Leopard the file extensions on attachments that I send in Mail are corrupted in transit. The problem is not irremediable: .doc may change to .doc00 or .docis or something like that. The recipient can delete the extra characters when saving or opening the attachment, and the file is intact. But this is a bit of a bore, as I have to send attachments all the time. It doesn't matter whether I send from my iMac G5 or my MacBookPro, and it doesn't matter whether the recipient has a Mac or a PC.
Any collective wisdom out there?
Many thanks,
Anna

Some people have found that not having accented characters or spaces in the file name cures it. The bug has been reported.

Color becomes corrupt when I use Image Processor

I always use the image processor (file>scripts>image processor) to format my photos after editing. Last night in the middle of batching several sets, the processor starting saving my photos with colors that were really off. I tried closing the program and restarting my computer. No luck. If I open a photo in CS6 photoshop and then save it as a jpeg there is no color corruption. But if I batch photos using the image processor the color is horrible. I don't really want to unistall/reinstall photoshop if I don't have to because then I have to reinstall my plugins. Is there a way to fix this? I have been using CS6 for over a year now and haven't had a problem with image processor before. Although, sometimes when I open a photo in photoshop, the color is off (like in the left photo) and I have to close the program and re-open it. Below is an example of what happens.

Good day!
Is there a way to fix this?
Fix what? You have not given enough information to assess the issue.
What are the settings you use, do the images have their Color Profile embedded, what are your Color Settings …?

Patches become corrupted when i close and reopen a concert

I can't figure out why after creating a concert and getting sounds all tweaked that when i close it out and open it back up all my patches get corrupted. ie: 'Classic Trance' now sounds like a rhodes. This has happened randomly multiple times. some when I close out and open back up normally other times when Mainstage quit on me. I always save before closing out a concert. Can anyone help me?

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Attachments to emails become corrupted when sent from Q10

I can receive an email from work with an attachment and open it fine, but if I forward it, although the email goes fine, when the attachment is opened it is blank, and there is a message stating that the pdf is corrupt. I have updated to the latest versions of Blackberry software and Adobe Reader software.
This was not a problem on any of my previous Blackberry phones which were Curves and Bolds.
Billy

Hey billstup,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
If you download and save the attachment onto your BlackBerry Q10 and then forward the email with that saved attachment, does it still show up as corrupt?
Also what type of email account is added (POP3, IMAP, Exchange?)
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Movie audio becomes corrupted when exported to iDVD

Hi,
I have created a movie that is 53" long in iMovie, added various transitions, text screens, music tracks and photos but also kept a lot of the camcorder audio as well. The movie plays perfect in preview on iMovie but when I have shared it with iDVD some of the audio and voices are out of sync and there are also some random loud noises, a quarter/half a second long, that appear at certain points in the iDVD version - they sound like bits of the actual iMovie audio but from completely different part of the movie.
So, the problem is that the movie is perfect in iMovie but when shared with either iDVD or Media Browser, there is some loss of syncing and these random noise bursts.....
This is the same when I have burned the movie to a DVD and played back through the DVD player - the out of sync and noises still appear.
Any thoughts on how I can get around this to have a perfect DVD as well - dont really want to get everyone around the Mac to watch the movie later this month!!!!
Thanks

There is a known audio glitch in iMovie '09 that appears in exported movies when custom speed settings have been used in the project.
It's important when making speed changes to use only the preset speed percentages shown on the speed slider. These are: 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400% and 800%. Don't manually type in your own custom speeds that differ from the presets.
The glitch that you describe appears only in the exported movie, and as you have noted, is not evident in preview (before sharing). The fix is to revisit your project and adjust any custom speeds to the presets. This can be a pain of course, as you may have to resynchronise the project elements.

My RAW images are becoming corrupt when opening with Adobe Bridge, showing very bright colours.

Windows Vista, Canon 20d, Dell PC.
Happens to older images not new ones.
Have a raw thumbnail codex installed.
Any help much apreciated
Example attached.
It isn't happening to all images though:

The raw codec doesn't affect Bridge/ACR, only Windows Explorer and applications which use the codec, like Photo Gallery.
The corruption you show is pretty extreme. It's usually the sort of thing you get with a corrupt display profile (Bridge is fully colour-managed), but if that was the case, I would expect it to happen with all of your photos, not just some.
You show the Preview panel is corrupted, but what about full-screen and Camera Raw previews?
What happens if you reset an image to camera raw defaults, with bog-standard settings and an Adobe Camera Profile?
The only other obvious problem I can think of is graphics drivers.
Which versions of Bridge and Camera Raw are you using?

Is anyone else having problems with large files, such as installation images, becoming corrupted when downloaded in Mavericks using Safari?

I am finding that when I try to download a disk image file, such as Office 2011, it reads invalid checksum, is corrputed and will not install. I tried to download it several times and even unchecked in the Disk Utility Preference Pane to verify checksums. The way I solved the problem, was to go to my Windows Machine and download the image, put it on a USB flash drive and install it on my Mac from the stick. Not a proper solution, but it did work. Has anyone out there had this problem? This is applying to any large .dmg files not just Office 2011.

I'm having exactly the same problem with the dmg file for Office 2011, tried downloading from my windows machine with no luck, still having the invalid checksum message.

Moving Address Book contacts from laptop to desktop

I was doing some updating of my Address Book contacts this afternoon when the program majorly crashed, and then lost every single contact that was in there....
Luckily, I have another copy on my laptop. I'm just not sure now how to get the data from my laptop back to my desktop. I have done the following:
- attached the two computers with Firewire
- moved the folder myusername/library/applicationsupport/addressbook from the laptop to the same place on the desktop.
This seemed to be recommended in another thread, but it's not working for me - when I open Address Book in my desktop again, it's still empty. Can anyone tell me what I should do next (short of typing all the addresses back in again by hand)?

Did you check the Permissions on that folder & contents after you moved it?
Did you Verify & Repair if needed the HD on the Desktop first?
