All of a Sudden, lots of corrupted files

I've never had this issue with lightroom 5. All of a sudden, I'm getting corrupted files, some of them disappear , and some seem to be corrupted AFTER I've already processed it. Very odd. I use a Nikon D7100 with Delkin Devices 64gb SD 633x. I just got these new Delkin Cards, which up until now, were smokin'! Now I don't know if its the card or lightroom. The cards were formatted like usual before I used them. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Ok, I got the Delkin card reader and I only had 7 corrupted photos instead of dozens out of 500 imported. So there's a positive.
As for the question of the RAM upgrade, I got the RAM from Out of This World Computing http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/. It was installed by UbreakIfix (You Break , I fix). I know the "Mac" guy over there and there have been no other issues otherwise. This Macbook flies better than ever.
The fact that you are still seeing corrupted files implies that the reader wasn't the issue. It is possible that the built in reader just maps to different parts of memory than the external one. Normally I would 100% trust RAM from OWC. I've bought memory from them for decades now and never seen a dud. However, you might have some bad memory here. One thing to try is to revert to the old memory and see if you still have the problem. It is strange that you are not seeing massive problems just running the computer though. If images are corrupting that frequently I would expect that to happen to other parts of memory too. Have you checked for a hard disk problem? Open Disk Utility (from /Applications/Utilities) and select the top level of your hard disk. Check if it says "S.M.A.R.T. Status : Verified" in the bottom of the screen. Then click on the hard disk icon that represents your internal disk (usually "Macintosh HD") and click "Verify Disk". If there are any errors found, it will tell you how to repair them. If you don't see any errors, try doing a "repair Disk Permissions".

"Unsupported Image Format" all of a sudden, with previously workable files

Folks,
I've got an issue that seems very strange indeed.
Months ago, I bought a Pentax K20D. I also bought a 17" MacBook Pro and Aperture. Camera and Aperture played well together.
I encountered the known issue with white spots on the image when using the 2-second timer for long exposures. I read about how the Pentax firmware update 1.01 changed the EXIF Make information, causing Aperture to be unable to read the K20D PEF RAWs. So I waited.
When Aperture 2.1.1 was released (and I think the Apple RAW update), I installed both of those. When I heard through this forum that the updates fixed the problem, I also updated my camera's firmware and confirmed that it worked.
So smooth sailing for a few months on Aperture 2.1.1, OS 10.5.3 (or .4, I forget), and K20D firmware 1.01.
Then I bought a Mac Pro 8-Core with 10.5.4 on it. I sold the 17" MacBook Pro. I used the Migration Wizard to move my user account from one machine to the other, but did a fresh install of all applications. (I've been an Apple tech for the past 7 years, and have various certifications. I know the user transfer process isn't perfect, but it should have the following results... read on)
Now, in Aperture 2.1.1 on 10.5.4 with all updates, PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.01 that were previously edited, manipulated, etc just fine on my MacBook Pro say "Unsupported Image Format" in a big reddish-black box when I try to view the master. If I switch to Quick Preview, it displays just fine, but is un-adjustable. Additionally, any NEW images I copy from my K20D show in the Import window as being 0x0 pixels (or occasionally 160x120 pixels) and will only show a tiny preview or "Unsupported Image Format." All PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.0 are just fine.
So here's what I've done:
1) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.4 on another HD in the Mac Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This should be perfectly clean. It gives the "Unsupported Image Format" error with any new images from my K20D. Copying the library from my other partition gives the same problems as described earlier.
2) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.3 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. Applied the Apple RAW update and iLife enhancements. It gives the same errors as before.
3) Tested a fresh install of 10.4.11 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This worked perfectly for all PEFs and DNGs.
4) Took a month-old backup (from when everything was working just fine) of my Aperture Library and loaded it into all of the above configurations. Same results!
So what is the deal here? Aperture all of a sudden can't read images that it itself was able to edit a month ago? How come it works just fine in 10.4.11? This seems really messy. I have essentially lost a lot of the work I've put in.
I can use DNGs moving forward, but my past work is now messed up, and the DNGs are almost 75% bigger than the PEFs!
Anyone have any ideas for resolution or should I just call Apple?

If it's any consolation, I had the EXACT same problem today; just opened Aperture 2 and my entire library of images shows "unsupported image format' -- the thumbnails are still intact but clicking on any image suddenly shows the red screen.
Same situation, these images were previously editable and accessible. We had a power outage an hour ago and initially I thought my library had crashed, but I was not actually using Aperture 2 at the time of the outage so I don't think that's the case.
Given the relatively sparse attention Apple gives to these forums, I don't expect there will be a quick response.
I have Leopard 10.5.4 installed, I don't have access to another version of the OS to see if I can get it work. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a series of Software Updates recently? I click on these without really checking the apps that are affected; could Aperture have been one of the apps 'revised' by the recent update?

All of a sudden - can't open files

Running Adobe Reader 10.1.2 (current rev) on Win 7 (latest release)
Had been working fine. Now on some files (but not all) I get this error:
"there was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
Two comments:
(1) I uninstalled Adobe Reader, then rebooted, then reinstalled Adobe Reader from a fresh download. I still get the same error.
(2) I am able to open the same pdf files that don't open on this computer on another computer. So it must be this installation on this computer.
Since I've already uninstalled, not sure where to go from here... Is there a mis-set configuration option in Reader causing this for only some files?
Thanks anyone for ideas...

I had the same issue with a file that we had on our corporate network drive.
After an hour of research plus trial+error, I had to download and purchase the Full copy of this program: kernel for PDF Repair
http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/pdf-repair-tool.html
It was an emergency for me, hence, the purchase of the tool but it worked and I was able to repair the file and open it with no more error messages.
Second issue I encountered with the same file after I repaired it: I was unable to print it. The doc gave me an error every time I tried to print it.
I had to download foxit (pdf reader) and print it using that program.

All of a sudden can not delete files unless I enter password each time, why?

as title indicates why has my system changed? any ideas why I can not delete without a password?

I understand that I do not have permission, my inquiry is why, I have had lion installes for about 3 weeks and a few hours ago for no reason I am unable to delete without a password. My system was not updated changed or manipulated by me in any way for the past week unless it was done behind the scenes with no visual or auditory notification!

Itunes cannot locate files all of a sudden. Why?

I had recently went to a friends house who had home sharing turned on. I do not have this feature turned on.
When I left her house, I could no longer play my music.
It says " Itunes cannot locate file "
The songs that it is doing this for are songs I had to transfer over by a memory card from a previous computer.
Why all of a sudden are they missing files?

If you weren't doing Home Sharing then the HS thing likely has absolutely nothing to do with this. You must have done something else that caused the links in iTunes database to break. iTunes keeps a list of what files it needs to play and where they are located. If you do something such as renaming a folder or moving a folder or file, it can cause that location reference to no longer be valid.

All of a sudden I am getting an "unreadable files" message when trying to import photos to iphoto, how do I fix

Why am I all of a sudden getting an unreadable file message when trying to import photos to iphoto from the card in my Nikon camera? I have done this many times before with no problem.

Can you access the files from Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)?
Have you tried a USB Card Reader?
Have you tried reformatting the card with the Camera?

Corrupted Files in Some Folders?

All of a sudden, many of the files on my directory are corrupted (?). When I open them I get a error message. For example, attempting to open a JPEG in preview gives...
The file "DSC00399.JPG" could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
The file size appears to be unchanged, so that data is all there unless it is scrambled for some reason? It appears to by folder (some folders are fine and some have all bad files).
I have a lot of it backed up. But there are files I need to try and save is possible.

How much free space do you have on your hard drive?

I use a lot of Adobe PSE programs, especially PSE 9. All of a sudden PSE 9 became dysfunctional. The cursor won't respond. Do I have to buy PSE 9 again ?

I use a lot of Adobe PSE products (photography) especially PSE 9. All of a sudden, the cursor on PSE 9 began to malfunction. It won't respond to some of the tools, it'll pick the wrong tool, etc. Do I jave to rebuy another new version of PSE 9 or simply move on ?

Reset the tools. Click on the little arrow, top left, on the option bar of one of the tools. That may fix it.
If not, suggest that you reset preferences to default.

All of a sudden Reader says all pdf's rec'd by e-mail are damaged or corrupt. Help available?

I'm using the latest version of Office 365's Outlook on Windows 8.1. I receive many e-mails from different sources containing PDF files. All of a sudden I receive an error message on every PDF. Generally its "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and can't be repaired." I even forwarded a PDF that I know others have been able to open to my wife's e-mail address and it gave her the same error message. So not only are PDF's I receive not able to be opened but my Reader or something else on my computer seems to be damaging or corrupting them! I thought I had a malware problem so I re-set my Dell laptop back to reinstallation of Windows and re-installed Adobe Reader XI. I have also right-clicked on a PDF file and set Adobe Reader XI as the default program.

Hi bellingenbob,
Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader you are using.
You might need to choose 'Check for Updates' option under the Help menu to use the latest version of Reader i.e. 11.0.10
Also, tell me whether you are viewing the PDFs through 'Preview' or first download the files and then open with Reader.
Try disabling protected mode from Edit> Preferences> Security (Enhanced) and check.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Anubha

All of a sudden a lot of my pictures are gone, how can I repair this?

Sometimes Aperature tells me there are inconsistencies that need to be repaired. This time this was not the case. I Loaded files from a memeory card from my camera but it took more than twenty four hours and it was still busy loading. Then I had to stop my computer, it was stuck. After I did this a whole tot of images from before disappeared, all of a sudden I see as a conten that there are zero images in a whole lot of folders. What can I do? I'm panicking I've lost my work...Mariken

We need to know more, Mariken, to be able to help.
What Aperture version are you using, and what MacOS X version?
Where is your Aperture library located? On your internal drive or on an external drive? Is the library referenced, or are the images imported into the Aperture library?
Sometimes Aperature tells me there are inconsistencies that need to be repaired.
Did this start recently? Do you remember on what occasions?

Can't Open (Decompress) any ZIP files all of a sudden!

Hi
I've never had problems opening Zip files until a couple of days ago.
All of a sudden I can't open Zip files from 2 different sources.
I've tried downloading them in Safari and Firefox.
I've tried the built in expander and I've tried Stuffit (latest version) and The Unarchiver.
I keep getting error messages, usually saying the data is corrupted or that it was compressed with an unknown method.
I got the original file re-sent to me several times (a purchase from a consumer website) with constantly the same result.
Then today I received a different Zip file from a completely different source with the same result.
My computer is up to date with all the latest Apple software updates.
I've tried repairing disc permissions.
Anyone know of this issue or have any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks.

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
"I've tried repairing disc permissions."
Did you restart your computer afterwards? If so, download a "zip" file. In the window that pops up, make sure *"Open With"* is selected. Make sure Stuffit Expander is selected or another utility that you want to open all your "zip" files.
Option: Select +"Do this automatically for files like this from now on."+
Click the "OK" button.

RH7.02 - All of a sudden I get lots of false " misspellings"

Hi all,

Sorry Colum
I suppose I didn't go far enough in my last post. I meant to show that there is no obvious way to change the dictionaries now. When you click that button you simply see a dialog that allows you to edit the personal dictionary.
Unfortunately it would seem the location of the dictionary files isn't documented anywhere. Certainly with the new multiple languages that RoboHelp is capable of dealing with, they probably have several different dictionaries in use.
Cheers... Rick

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8
