Can i fix a corrupt file on my profile?

When i try and start firefox it shows the computer is thinking but then nothing happens. I tried restarting the computer, safe mode, and reinstalling firefox. None of this worked. I read a few help pages and found out it is probably a corrupt file. I logged onto my computer's guest profile and firefox worked. Is there any way i can fix my original profile. It would be really inconvienient to have to make a new profile. Thanks for any help!

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When I open and close iPhoto I get the wheel of death and I have to force quit the program. Can I reinstall the program to fix any corrupted files?

Can I reinstall iPhoto '11 to fix any corrupted files?

You can but it will not fix anything - you have a corrupted library = not an corrupted application
Backup your iPHoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and ftom the resulting first aid window rebuild your database

I need your help, PLEASE. How can to fix "NO MOUNTABLE FILE SYSTEM" error of my back up hard drive on Mountain Lion OS?

Did you format the drive for Mac use before you tried to use it as a backup drive?
Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app.

InDesign - need a "Fix my Corrupted File" Upload Service

There are frequently posts on the forum for people who have corrupted INDD files. This means lost work and frustrated InDesign users.
The Indesign team should offer a "Fix my File" upload link to its customers.
For each corrupted file, you will help a customer, and in the process, hopefully improve the overall stability of the product (which has issues) and benefit everyone...
Adobe: If you are afraid that you will be swamped with requests to "Fix my File", then you should probably just get out of the SW business now...

Zak Williamson wrote: "If the documents are fundamentally corrupt in some way, theres no way to repair them." and then later "As I mentioned to Casey, it's rarely possible to repair a truly corrupt document"
I definitely don't want this to sound like a flame or a whine, but I find that statement quite flabbergasting. Somebody at Adobe must understand the format of an InDesign file well enough to be able to edit out the specific element that is causing InDesign to complain about the document. I do file repair for another company (www.qsatoolworks.com) whose file format is probably more complex than an InDesign file. In over 10 years I've only had 1 or 2 files I could not repair at least to the point of recovering the textual data.
What led me to this forum is that a customer contacted me to help them recover an InDesign file. They just migrated from a PowerMac G4 with CS2 to a Mac Pro with CS3 and a few of their files won't open. ("ID may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.")
We have tried them on another Mac with CS2, and they won't open there either. "Something" must have gone wrong when the files were transferred to the new Mac.
(Naturally, the old hard drive has already been reformatted.)
Knowing what I do about file formats (but understanding that my knowledge is nearly worthless in an InDesign file) I have to assume an InDesign file contains an object map with pointers to the various objects in the document. The idea of telling the customer "your 32 page booklet is lost" when the problem could simply be a screwed up pointer is horrifying to me.
Here at QSA ToolWorks we charge $120/hour for recovery service, success or failure. We've saved lots of people from their own recklessness, and created a passionate user base in the process. We've made our product more reliable (and fixed some bugs) based on the knowledge gained through file repair; Adobe could do the same, but if they don't want to provide such a service, perhaps they should consider training third parties to do it.
I'd like to address one other comment above. Harbs wrote "I've been lead to believe that Adobe has utilities (which they use internally) to analyze and possibly fix corrupted files." Of course, I don't know whether Adobe has such utilities, but I suspect they don't. Because I can do Helix database repairs, people likewise assume I have "special utilities" that can fix corrupted files. (We've even been accused of keeping them secret so we can use file repair as a source of revenue!) I don't. What I do have is a deep understanding of the file format. Beyond that, a file editor and a couple of AppleScripts I wrote to display the object fields in a human-readable format are all the 'special' tools I have. If Adobe has any sort of tools for analyzing files, I suspect they are much the same. In other words, without extensive internal knowledge, they are worthless.

Fix for Corrupt File That Prevents Publish

Since last night I've been getting an error when trying to publish my site. The error is pointing to one of the background images in the template stating that the disk may be corrupt or that I don't have access rights or something like that. I couldn't seem to figure out how to fix this - I even overwrote the image file hoping to fix it, but nothing worked. I figured I'd reboot in the morning and see if the system automagically would clear it up.
Well funny thing... I use Super Duper for my backup application and it choked last night on the very same file that iWeb was. However, Super Duper gave me the actual path of the corrupt file.
| 04:30:38 AM | Error | SDCopy: FTS_NS error for item: '/Users/suzanne/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites/rptilev6-2.jpg' err: 22, Invalid argument
This seems to be some kind of secondary cache of images that iWeb uses to upload to .MAC. I opened up that folder, replaced the file with a new version and everything worked again.

Had the same problem, but with music only. Thank you for the information

How to fix a corrupt file without the OSX Installation disk

I have a corrupt volume file, but need the OSX installation disk which I not longer have. How do I repair the corrupted file?
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/

Did you save it with the same name?
That can cause a problem.
See this from MS regarding location of files.
https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-GB/article/Automatically-save-and-recove r-files-6c6425b1-6559-4bbf-8f80-4f038402ff02
Find an automatically saved or recovered file
The next time that you open an application, files in the AutoRecovery folder are listed in the Open Recent list. Or you can find the files in the /Users/ username/Library/Application Support/ Microsoft/Office/Office 2011 AutoRecovery.
In the Finder, find automatically saved files in /Users/ username/Library/Application Support/ Microsoft/Office/Office 2011 AutoRecovery. Note If you close a file and click Don't Save, the file is deleted from the AutoRecovery folder.

Where can I find this corrupt file? I can't find it anywhere.

It's driving me nuts because I keep seeing it whenever I run my anti-virus scan. Whenever I search for the thing, I can't seem to find it anywhere. This can't be possible. I don't know if I need to give you my exact username for this computer, but as a stand-in for that, I'll just type [ANONYMOUS]. The corrupt file is named as follows-
/Users/.[ANONYMOUS]/[ANONYMOUS].sparsebundle/bands/33f
Is there any idea where I can find this?
And if possible, is there a way to recover it or do I just have to delete it? I've found a couple of corrupted google chrome files that I've taken care of so far.
One last question. Is this file's corruption a symptom of hacking? It's a long story. Just curious...

Looked at what they do and how they do it, antivirus tools are arguably difficult to distinguish from the malware itself, and problems with the tools can sometimes manifest themselves with corruptions and crashes.
While thomas_r. points to the mv rename command (which will work — just be very careful to include exactly two spaces in that entire command, don't add additional spaces within the directory names), that rename operation might mess up the antivirus — I'm guessing that file is part of that package — and I'd start out with something like the following commands to look around at that .yourshortname directory:
ls -aled@ /Users/.yourshortname
ls -ale@ /Users/.yourshortname
The first looks at the settings and attributes of the directory file itself, and the second looks at the settings and attributes of any files stored in the directory.
If you're encountering corrupt files, that can imply a software or hardware problem is lurking. As a first step, I'd remove the antivirus tools — again, these tools are very close to being malware, in terms of what can happen when they go wrong — and see if the corruptions persist. I'd also verify you have current backups at all times, on the off chance that this is a hardware problem — that's your path back from both software and hardware errors. A failing disk can also cause file corruptions, and that doesn't usually end well.
Full disclosure: I'm somewhat skeptical around the value of antivirus on OS X for most users. Antivirus chews up a non-trivial amount of resources and can itself cause problems and false positives. There are very few bits of malware around that are specifically targetting OS X, and shuting off or removing or plugin-blocking Adobe Flash Player and Oracle Java, and disabling features such as Safari's habit of automatically opening safe downloads, then the integrated features of Gatekeeper and XProtect and OS X security should keep you fairly secure. This all assuming you're reasonably skeptical around what you click on and what packages you install and particularly if you're not off looking to load cracked software from the torrents, and are not installing and running stuff (anything that you didn't go looking for yourself) found from random places around the 'net or from random mail messages sent to you. Even the best antivirus around isn't entirely proof against any of those sorts of attacks, either. If you do decide to use antivirus (and that's entirely your call), then please do not assume it will effectively protect you; you'll still want to avoid loading anything that might reasonably be malware. Expect it to toss false positives, and to potentially cause flaky behavior and — as has happened with various malware tools, and sometimes successfully — to itself be targeted for attack or used as a backdoor.

Can i fix my .kext files through recovery mode?

Great news on the fix anyway thanks!
Did you uninstall that Mouse driver yet?

Fixing a corrupted file

I seem to have a corrupted file. It takes 4 or 5 seconds for anything to appear when you try to type anything in and the panels take 5 or 6 seconds to appear when you change a tool. I've been working in other documents with no problem, it is just this one book.
I've tried exporting it out to an IDML file and reopening it, but it doesn't help.
Next I tried exporting it out to an ID Tagged Text file and placing that with the Shift key to autoflow it in and that seemed to work as far as the typing problem, but none of the graphic links imported and this is a 6 chapter book with hundreds of graphics!
Is there another way to import the content with the links into a new document that I am missing? (or a way to fix the original file?)
CS6, XP
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Hey Wright,
You might want to try steps in http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-indesign-documents.html
Usually these sort of errors come down to one swatch or a element in the document. Now it might be just as simple as creating a new book and adding back the document. Or as difficult as a corupt text frame or font in the document.
For your question about movung content you could try just moving pages from one document to another new document abd checking if that helps.

How can i delete a corrupted file that will not download?

I recently purchased a song on itunes and i keep getting a message that tells me to try redownloading due to the song being a corrupt file. When i attempt to redownload the song, i get another error message that tells me the download could not be completed. At this point i just want to delete the download, but since it was never actually downloaded it wont go away. Everytime i open my itunes i get the error message and it continues to pop up every ten minutes. Please help!

Highlight the said file on the Music section of your Library, and press the Backspace key. When asked whether you want to move to the trash, say yes. Then you may download it again looking in Your Account in the purchased section.

Can I fix a corrupt profile?

When I try and start firefox it shows the computer is thinking but then nothing happens. I tried restarting, safe mode, reinstalling. After reading up I found its probably a corrupt file, so I logged onto my computer's guest profile and it worked on there. Is there anyway to get it to work on my original profile? It would be really inconvienient to have to start a new profile for this

IF you want to solve the problems on your original profile, perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles on (don't forget to start Firefox using your Original Profile):
Clear Cookies & Cache
Clear the Network Cache
Use the "Remember History" setting as described in this article -> Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track
Start Firefox in -> Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode to check if your add-ons/extension are causing the problem.
Also see this article -> Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
Check and tell if its working.

I am working in windows 7 and I am trying to enable the copy/paste and I can not find user.j file in the profile and I am not real sure how to create a file, I can create a folder .

I am trying to copy text from a word document and paste it into my web builder and it says that firefox does not support copy/paste from clipboard. Went to your site and it tells me to open the user.j file in my profile. This file does not exist and I am not real sure how to create that file so I can paste the fix from your site into it.

I went to that link and added to firefox add on but it still does not work. I went to the add on option button for this but it told me that my MYSIWG widget was disabled. Does this have something to do with it not working and if so how do you enable it.

How can I fix a corrupted iPhone 4 video file?

I have a video that i recorded back in October with my iPhone 4, but for some reason now it won't play. It says "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file. I have tried a bunch of different corrupted video repair software programs....i got one to convert a little bit of it (you have to pay over $100 to get the full converted video.) While the video is a nice short little video, it isn't worth $100 to have it ...however, is there another way to fix these? i know it helps to have a video that is a reference video shot around the same time, which i do. if anyone has any suggestions, i would greatly appreciate it.

The name of the software i used to fix it (the demo only does around 9 seconds worth) is called Video Repair Tool v.1.6. Has anyone found any software similar to this that is cheaper? i believe from what i have read the "moov" file is either corrupted or missing....

How can i fix a corrupted garageband file????

You'll probably have more luck getting help with this if you post in the GarageBand forum:
