Archive Corrupt Files

I tried to download CS5.5 Creative Suite that I purchased back in 2012. After 8 hours of downloading, it came back and said. This archive is corrupt. Not only that I previously downloaded the software on 2 other computers and I am having a hard time in getting the Creative Suite on this computer.
1. Why am I downloading a corrupt file issue.
2. I need to download and install Creative Suite on new computer, but has been previously installed twice on 2 other devices that I no longer use or have.

1.  Try an alternate download...  You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.  Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.
CS5.5: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
2.  Contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

  • Hard drive error - Corrupt files - Archive and Install?

    Hi
    I have been using Onyx for a while and last week it asked me to reinstall the Snow Leopard disc.  I verified this in Disk Utility first and that also advised I had corrupt files.  I installed the disc and all seemed fine when i checked again in Disk Utility.  But now a week later I have the same problem and not sure whether it is a problem with 0SX or my hard drive.  My mac pro is still under Applecare and they advised tonight that I should do another archive and install and if does not fix then to take the machine into my local Apple store.
    Red part of Error message is - Invalid volume file count - it should be 362310 instead of 362313 and Invalid volume directory count - it should be 99776 instead of 99773. 
    The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.  - Error: This disk needs to be repaired etc.
    Has anyone else experienced the same problem.  I use Aperture 3 & Final Cut Express and until recently had problems getting the two to work together until Applecare helped.
    Many thanks
    Matt

    Other people have certainly experienced a corrupt HFS volume header, which is what you have, or did have. It should be a very rare occurrence. If it happens frequently, then your drive is probably failing and should be replaced.

  • Are there any possible reason RMAN generates some corrupt archive log files

    After that I go to archive log directory "/u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs" and use ls -lt command to see how many archive logs and my screen just hang. After we found out that we cannot use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf
    archive log, the rest of archive logs able to use ls -lt command.
    We cannot delete this file as well. We shutdown database abort and perform check disk...... and fix the disk error and then open database again. Everything seems back to normal and we can use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf.
    The strange problem is we have the same problem in Development and Production..... one ore more archive logs seems to be corrupted under the same directories /u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs.
    Does anyone encounter the same problem?

  • I can't import archived .m4a files

    Years ago, I had an iTunes library that consisted of Apple Lossless files only. I had ripped most of my music collection in that format. It got to the point where I ran out of disc space, and to finish ripping my CD library in it's entirety, I needed to convert everything to .mp3. Before doing so, I backed up all of the .m4a files to DVD.
    Having recently upgraded my entire computer system, I have much more hard disc space available (320 GB internal drive and a 1 TB external), and would like to re-import the .m4a files from my DVD archives. I'm finding that I'm unable to do so. I've tried to drag and drop, and have also tried using the "import" command from the file menu, to no avail.
    As a side note, as the archived m4a files appear in the finder, they have a different icon preview than what I'm used to seeing. Is this a permissions issue? Is there a work around?
    All the archived files are from CD's I own that I ripped myself. I could rip again I suppose, but that's a dreadfully time consuming process (I'm talking about some 500 odd CD's!). Please help!

    That's exactly what I did, and for some mysterious reason I can't copy them from the backup DVD's into iTunes. Viewing the contents of the backup DVDs, the music files all appear with the correct names and file extensions, although with a different icon preview than I'm used to. I don't have the ability to preview (or rather pre-listen) to them from within the Finder, and when I attempt to drag and drop them into iTunes, although the green plus sign does appear as it normally would, once I "drop" the files, nothing else happens.
    I wonder if I'm dealing with corrupted files.

  • Is there an ap for finding/deleting corrupt files on OS X 10.7?

    I seem to have a corrupt file(s) which cause my MacBook Pro to freeze inexplicably (and randomly) upon start-up. I've been told that this is a symptom of having a corrupt file.
    Is there an an for finding/deleting corrupt files on OS X 10.7?
    I'm pretty much bound to my computer and simply don't have the time to go through it manually.
    Thank you.

    This is an old post and I am not the person who posted the original query, but I ran your terminal diagnostic and am hoping you are still attending to this forum. I have a mid 2011 macbook Air 11", 256 GB SSD, 1.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB  1333 MHz DDR3, Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 Lion. I have had various problems in my user homefolder for a while. I have gone through quite a few other troubleshooting and fixing steps, the most extensive following a posting here "Step by Step to fix your mac" by ds store in the Apple forums. These steps helped a lot. I did remove some 3rd party software as part of this process.
    My computer is running well in general now, but one thing that has been a recurring problem is problems with move/cut-paste. I researched this online and ACL's being present where they're not supposed to be seems to be an issue. I have used terminal commands to remove ACL's, used Onyx to repair user permissions, rebooted with command-r to reset password screen and reset user permissions. They all help, but then a some point later on the problem recurs. When I run repair disk permissions with either disk utility or onyx I always get this message:
    Repairing permissions for “maggieairHD”
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ACL found but not expected on “Users”
    Repaired “Users”
    Permissions repair complete
    This ALWAYS comes up, even if I run it immediately after running it and haven't done anything else on the computer in between.
    I created another user and did not have the same problems I was having at the time with some programs, although I haven't used it that much to be able to really compare. The home folder permissions repair in Onyx comes out the same in that user, though.
    Here are my results from your diagnostic terminal commands:

    Maggies-MacBook-Air:~ maggieair$
    I have removed NoSleep, Caffeine, itunesHelper and Dropbox from login items before and didn't notice any difference, so I put them back. Some of these I know I don't want, like rim/blackberry, adobe AIR. Skype has never worked consistently on this computer. I don't use most of these Services, and I know I had trouble with some that were not compatible with Lion before. I am not using Parallels much now, have been thinking about taking it off as it uses a chunk of my SSD. But I don't feel confident about getting rid of .frameworks etc safely.
    I am glad to remove anything I don't use if I know how to do it safely. I am willing to remove anything I do use if it's necessary, but obviously would prefer to find a way to keep things that I find helpful.
    I appreciate any suggestions!

  • IMovie '09 Corrupt Files

    We've noticed periodically that iMovie '09 will save as a corrupt file in the middle of a project and then we can't work any longer.  Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what have you done to resolve the issue?

    Matt..
    Don't know how much help I can be.. My Sony HDR-SR12 is working fine for all aspects of handling MTS files on the desktop, in iMovie, etc. When you turn on the Panasonic, I assume you're still getting a desktop image that you can double click on? There should be a folder which contains the MTS files. Can you open that folder, get to those MTS files? If not, then it would point more toward the Camera not being recognized rather than an iMovie problem.
    When in iMovie and you do an "Import from Camera", does the camera show up in the list of available devices? I've got a Mac Book Pro, so I can choose the onboard webcam.
    I'm assuming the Panasonic can shoot SD. I know for the Sony, I have to get any SD format files off the camera before iMovie will see the HD content. Lastly, can you select and execute the "archive from camera" function and move the MTS files to a hard disk or not? Does the import then work from there?
    I'd try a few standard things as well, like repair permissions on the disk (boot from install disk and use Disk Utility found there). Maybe SMC reset? Since this is happening on two completely different machines, I thinking it is more related to the camera talking to the Mac.. Is it on the supported list? If so, give Apple a call...

  • Corrupted files getting backed up

    Hello,
    I just had a very painful experience and would appreciate some advice on how to prevent future problems.
    I backed up all docs, apps and system files with Time machine. Unfortunately, the file system was slowly getting corrupted, so TM was backing up corrupted system files. When I eventually installed a new disk and tried reinstalling the OS, it wouldn't work because the restore tried to copy the corrupted system files.
    Any ideas on how to either keep TM from backing up these files, having some program report the corruption or do a scheduled system check to prevent/repair the corruption?
    Thank you.

    The problem is that, as Kappy says, the backup software cannot know the files have been corrupted. Hard drive damage - a frequent cause of corruption - can be repaired, but only an application that can read a particular file might know if it has been corrupted, and even then it might not be apparent until you notice errors in the data that the file should contain.
    The only way to protect against corruption is to:
    1) Keep incremental backups, like Time Machine does
    2) Keep a minimum of two _completely separate_ backups
    3) Use two different backup programs (I like Time Machine + [Carbon Copy Cloner|http://www.bombich.com>)
    4) Archive important files periodically to CDs, DVDs or additional hard drives and store them away somewhere cool, dry and dark and don't touch them again. Note that, even stored properly, they dyes in home-burned CDs and DVDs will eventually degrade and destroy the data they contain, so don't rely on these for seriously long-term storage.

  • Archive PST file not showing e-mails from recent to Jun 2013 upon updating from Outlook 2007 to 2010

    Scenario at 8 AM: Working on Windows XP (SP3) with Outlook 2007. Active PST files are 1. server based Inbox folder & 2. an archive PST, manually created, which has multiple folders. The system is handed over to IT Team to upgrade 
    Scenario at 2PM: Windows 7 (64 bit) installed and MS Office 2010 with Outlook 2010 installed. E-mails are re-configured to server and all active pst are re-mapped. Receive fresh e-mails.
    Problems: All e-mail from 8AM today to 26-Jun 2013 disappear including folders and sub folders created during that perion from the manually created archive pst.
    Please help me resolve this issue and get back my e-mails from  26-Jun 2013 to 8 AM,11-Mar-2014.
    ## My job is at stake

    Hi,
    Which type of email account are you using? POP3, IMAP or Exchange server?
    Did you check the archive PST file after you finished creating it? Does it contain all emails you want?
    How did you re-map your pst files? We can just click File > Open > Open Outlook Data File... browse to your pst file and open it in your Outlook.
    We can also try to use the Inbox repair tool to scan and repair your pst file to check if it's corrupted. Please also have a look at the link below and check if these recovery tools help:

  • PST Archive Corruption.

    Hi,
    My problem has to do with pst file corruption. We have a 2012 Remote Desktop farm with about 100 plus users. Our users are experiencing pst archive corruption. We repair the file via scanpst and also 3rd party repair tools and the pst file is fine for
    a day or two and then it gets corrupted again. The pst files are kept on a Network Share (UNC) on our File Server.
    We previously had the same setup but with a 2003 terminal server farm with 2007 Outlook and the pst files were fine but since moving to this new environment pst files are constantly getting corrupted.
    My first question is if this RDS 2012 environment with keeping pst files on Network Shares is even a supported environment by Microsoft.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Network Stored PST files are not recommended by Microsoft.
    .pst files are not intended as an enterprise network solution. Although it is possible to specify a network directory or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path as a storage location for a .pst file, network usage is not meant to be a long-term, continuous-use
    method of storing messages in an enterprise environment.
    We can learn more from these articles:
    Network Stored PST files ... don't do it!

  • What will happen when redo log file or archive log file, which is yet to be

    What will happen when redo log file or archive log file, which is yet to be read by logminer is corrupted? It seems that the captures process hangs between “Paused for flow control” and “Enqueuing Messages”. How to come out of this condition without recreating the captures process?
    Any clue is helpful
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Basically you can't skip SCN since it will result in a data integrity issues (say you had skipped some inserts and later there will be some updates to a not replicated data).
    Streams maintain their own checkpoint tables with transaction related stuff. So there is no way you can jump over a range of SCN's without recreating capture.
    The only thing you can try - temporary give capture process a rule without any objects. But it will need to mine through the redo anyway.

  • Can power surges corrupt files?

    I have a 2 Ghz rev. B iMac that every month or so, gets corrupted files that cause it to hang, both during use, and in start-up. It's worse when the computer wakes from sleep (hangs if I try to even move the cursor too soon after waking) and not as often if I set the computer to never sleep. It rarely boots up completely after an unexpected shutdown. Disk Warrior has kept it running, but it has to rebuild the directory every time, and sometimes I have to do an archive and install before the computer will run normally again. Once I had to do a clean install because the partition was corrupted. Running the extended hardware test reveals nothing. It doesn't run hot at all, and I have plenty of RAM.
    I posted this problem before, and was advised it might be the hard drive, but since this has been more of an annoyance than any real threat, I haven't looked into a replacement yet. So I have three questions:
    1. Does this indeed sound like a typical hard drive problem?
    2. If I change the hard drive myself, does that invalidate the Applecare warranty?
    3. Could small power surges have caused this corruption over time? Because I notice room lights sometimes dim when I turn on the TV or ceiling fan. I have since started using a Backup battery supply for the iMac.
    Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry for its length.
    G5 iMac 2.0 Ghz Rev.B   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Thanks for the input. I do have one further question regarding the logic board.
    After fixing the directory with DiskWarrior and doing an archive and install, the iMac will run perfectly for about a month before suddenly slowing down and hanging with the spinning beach ball if I even move the cursor. Do logic board problems pop up this way, after an extended time of running normally, or are they more constant? I'm trying to narrow the possible causes as much as possible before talking to Apple.
    Thanks again.

  • "Invalid or corrupt file" after Obfuscation with "The Marvin Obfuscator"

    Hi!
    I want to use "The Marvin Obfuscator" (www.drjava.de) to secure MY code a little bit.
    But the resulting .jar-file doesn't work. "Invalid or corrupt file".
    I think, that things, i configured in the configuration file aren't true.
    Has anyone experience with "The Marvin Obfuscator"?
    I created a .jar-file with Eclipse. My Marvin-configuration-file (config.txt) is as the following:

    // Directories and jar/zip archives where your application's classes reside
    // (relative to project directory)
    classpath=("archive.jar","C:\Java\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar")
    // The name of your applet or applications's main class
    // (e.g. executable class, servlet or applet)
    // (as it would appear in <applet code=...> or in "java ...")
    // Note the double parentheses!
    mainClasses=(("control.Start"))
    // If you want your main class to be called differently after the obfuscation,
    // you can enter the new name (including package) like this:
    // mainClasses=(("myapp.Main" newName="main"))
    // You can also have more than one main class:
    // mainClasses=(("myapp.ServletA") ("myapp.ServletB"))
    // Names of methods (without class name) that are accessed via reflection.
    // The obfuscator will not change the names of these methods.
    //preserveMethodNames=("methodName1","methodName2","reflected*")
    // Classes that are accessed via reflection.
    // The obfuscator will not change the names of these classes.
    // Note: Method names within these classes will still be obfuscated.
    // (If you need to preserve method names too, what you probably want
    // is "externalClasses".)
    // Note: You can use the wildcard character (*).
    //preserveClassNames=("mypackage.SpecialClass")
    // Classes that are used by your application,
    // but should not be included in the obfuscated jar file.
    // The obfuscator also ensures that references to these classes continue to
    // work ("referencing" includes calling, subclassing and implementing).
    // Note: Any part of these libraries that is actually used must be in the
    // classpath (either system classpath or classpath= line in this file).
    //externalClasses=("com.company.externallibary.*","org.apache.*")
    // Locations of resource files.
    // If you want resource files (images, properties files, ...) to be included
    // in the jar file, specify the resource directories or archives here.
    // Do NOT specify individual resources files (these will be interpreted as
    // archives).
    // Note: Directories will be scanned recursively.
    // Note: .class files are excluded automatically.
    // Note: You will usually want to reuse entries from the classpath= line
    // (classes and resources are often bundled in the same jar files).
    //resources=("resourcedir","resources.jar")
    // Advanced obfuscation features.
    encryptStrings=true // You can try to set this to false for troubleshooting

    Why not use another obfuscator? Google for "java obfuscator". I myself
    use JShrink and it does a good job in reducing the code size.
    It always generated valid class files for me.
    As for "protection", don't count on it too much with any obfuscator, but
    yes, some may do a better job than others.

  • Corrupted files, how to do erase and install?

    I recently purchased an iPhone 4 which had issues syncing video to iPhoto and in the process seems to have corrupted my iMac. Everything is running incredibly slow and despite multiple permission repairs, PRAM resets and restarts the issues persist.
    It got the point where I tried a library rebuild on the iPhoto which seemed to repair many of the issues, but general lag through the whole system persisted. I followed with a rebuild on the iTunes library but the slowness is still there.
    I had an appt down at the genius bar and they ran full diagnostic showing that the hardware on the iMac was sound but they saw the issue and recognized that it was beyond acceptable.
    It was suggested that I try an archive and install that I did yesterday. That took about 6 hours and doesn't seem to have fixed anything. iTunes is still running moderately slow and although iPhoto is fine, Safari is non responsive and merely clicking on the apple menu takes 4 min to open.
    I have looked for anything unusual in the activity monitor and nothing stands out. I am out of ideas and looking at a full fresh install.
    Questions -
    I can't access Time Machine right now from my iMac and when I try to access it from my powerbook by clicking on the sparse bundle file in my external drive, I get a "barber shop bar" scrolling forever while "checking volumes". I just want to make sure I am backed up before I pull the trigger. Is this the only way to see my time machine volume for my iMac? I tried the ctrl click on time machine but he drive doesn't show up.
    How can I do a fresh install on Snow Leopard, it didn't give me any options. Do I access it through the utilities?
    How easy can I recover all my files from Time Machine once the update is done? I have never had to access before and being able to just drag and drop would be great.
    If there are corrupt files that are causing this meltdown, how will I ensure I don't just reimport them when I have loaded the fresh OS?
    Sorry for all the typing, pretty frustrated. Still don't have a solution for the original problem. Just trying to dig out of all the issues that have arisen.

    Mukti,
    did you try to install Mavericks, or did you only download its installer without running it? Which version of OS X is currently installed on your MacBook Pro? Do you still have the two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro? Do you have backups of the files on your MacBook Pro from before you downloaded the Mavericks installer?

  • Computer shuts on and off some corrupted files - no virues now

    Listed below are some of the errors I found on event log in the laptop:
    I have a Qosimo 8 megs of memory, windows 7 64 bit. Running AVAST 7.0 antivirus and Malwarebytes - both paid subscriptions. I think the model number is 830 530 I bought in 2009.
    The shutdown problem has
    been happening on and off for the last six months. I had two major instances of trojans taking over my machine and it caused constant shutdowns. AVAST worked with me on one and they had me use malwarebytes and spybot and hijack this. They took over my computer to get it up and running properly, but this new round of errors a trojan was found in the registry key and the startuptoolbar. Two nights ago I had another shut down several times and after running malwarebytes and antivirus I could find no errors so I’m leaning toward corrupted files? Is there anyway to fix these files without having to reformat the hard drive?
    I did run a computer repair and a computer memory repair tonight using F8 and no problems were found by the computer. I’m not sure what to do with these errors in event viewer.. I get the toshiba error
    quite often and it madely stops me from going online with my internet connection, and I had downloaded a newer version but same problem – I use windows repair in network and the error is always resetting the toshiba network IP. I just put a note into toshiba on that problem.
    I also use microsoft silverlight for my fenderfuse application which needs that software operate properly. I’m not sure exactly what to do with that Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. It states to check libraries – but what am I checking for? I do not have a lot of programs on the laptop but not sure what to look for in library?

    Sometimes my computer shuts down often on its own and I find a Trojan - other times it shuts down often during a start up and I find no viruses as was the case yesterday.  Today I did not get on the internet and the computer worked fine.  
     I guess I need to know if there is a way to reinstall the corrupted files without having to go back to the default settings when I got the computer.  Does toshiba have a windows repair disc that works better then what I did with using F8 and having a system repair and memory check done that found no errors?  I also installed the latest Toshiba service station and it did not fix the error problems in events log.  When I did a restore it was before this was added so now my computer is working properly with windows on connecting to the internet wireless.
    Malwarebytes said that by looking at these event viewer logs that it does not appear that I have a virus now but I do have corrupted files and can toshiba help me in getting them fixed.  I really hate to do a complete reformat.
    Thanks
