Can't open file "may be truncated or missing"

I have several photos that won't open. They can't even be found by spotlight. I have run disk utility and everything checks out normal. I am getting the following error message from Preview 3.0.4:
Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.
In Photoshop CS2, I get this message:
Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete).
HELP!

It sounds like the drive directory is corrupted.
Boot from the DVD that came with your iMac. Open Disk Utility and repair the hard drive.

  • Can't open files because ID5.5 is missing

    Was happily creating ID files in 5.5 and had a computer disaster. New computer, new install -- up to ID5.0. But ID5.5 disc won't install and InDesign 5.0 won't open any of my old files because of a list of missing plugins. How can I get a new install of ID5.5 without spending more thousands? I am retired now and need ID for freelance work.

    If you have a serial number you can download 5.5 form this link:
    Direct Download All Official Adobe CS5.5 Free Trials
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow instructions exactly
    And if you haven't serial number download a trial version, then save your documents as IDML and open in indesign cs5

  • Can't open file 2

    I have a finished project in indesign. It crashed and now it won't open and I'm freaking out. I'm new to Mac, and can't seem to either locate or open the autosave file.  The error message reads "can't open file, may not support format missing plug in, etc. I read the previous post but none of it seems to apply. the program crashed while printing to a .pdf.
    any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

    There is no "autosave" file that you would be able to open independent of the application.
    Generally, when ID crashes it will attempt to recover any file that was open at the time of the crash when you relaunch. If the recovery data is corrupt you might see an error message, but usually the program will crash again, and the next restart will bring up a dialog asking if you want to recover. If you say "no" at that point ID should launch, but your previous file will not be recovered, and the recovery data becomes useless.
    At this point are you able to open InDesign at all? Do you have any copies of the file as backup anywhere?
    Tommy Donovan from Adobe is looking at corrupt files, though he is rarely able to fix them. For more information you can see http://forums.adobe.com/message/1291449#1291449

  • Can't open files in iCloud

    Just recently, I haven't been able to open files stored in iCloud using either Pages or Numbers. When I try with either application, I get an error message saying, e.g.,  "The file “Wines.pages” couldn’t be opened." What can I do to fix that?

    Possibly you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • Numbers 3.0.1 - Can't open file "Work.numbers"

    Hello, all Community!
    Here's a iWork Numbers file, edited and successful saved yesterday to local folder, named Work.numbers.
    Today this file not opening anymore. Number's says: "Can't open file ..." And just one button "OK".
    In system log here's next lines:

    What I done to try resolve this problem:
    1. Checked permissions and repaired.
    2. Tried to open file in iCloud web-editor - no result. iCloud says that it can't open this spreadsheet.
    3. Tried to convert file via some online file type converters to xls document (i will not put link here). Converter says that I have wrong file format.
    Also I tried to open file in some other programs. No luck.
    That's all.
    File Work.numbers has been closed correctly and was no errors. Unfortunately, we have no any backup copy of this file anywhere. I know, this is stupid, but question now: How can I repair this document? Is any repair tools for iWork files?
    The file seems like has right structure.
    iTrancemind # ls -la Work.numbers/

    Unzipping Index.zip is passing without errors. It has many "iwa" files with binnary content and I can't get data from it. But, data in that file is very important for one person.
    Could anybody help me to resolve my problem to restore Numbers document?

    Hi rabg,
    I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
    Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.

  • [Solved][VIM] E484: Can't open file syntax.vim

    Hi all,
    I've installed Archlinux few days ago on my netbook and yesterday i decided to configure Vim using plugins.
    During plugins configuration, i messed up and i decided to revome all Vim files in my ~ folder in order to restart configuration.
    However, since I've executed the `rm -R .vim .vimrc .viminfo` command, I can't re-activate Vim's syntax coloration using `syntax on` into my .vimrc file nor into Vim directly.
    Here is the error message when I start Vim :
    Error detected while processing /home/romain/.vimrc:
    line 1:
    E484: Can't open file /home/romain/.vim/syntax/syntax.vim
    Press ENTER or type command to continue
    I've found this topic on BBS which seems to be the same problem as me but reinstalling vim or vi doesn't solve this problem.
    I've tried to copy this syntax.vim file from /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim but it doesn't solve the problem and I want a clean solution without hacking my ~ folder ; moreover, this bug also appears being root while I haven't configured vim with the root account so it may be a problem into Vim's installation folders or something.
    Thanks for your help and sorry I my english contains mistakes,
    MicroJoe.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 can't open files sent from Draw.

    Illustrator CC 2014 v18.0.0 (just installed today, 11/6/2014): I can't open files sent from Adobe Draw. The files send from Draw OK, but in Illustrator—which finally opens as advertised—I get an error message, i.e. The file "Dog - Drawing 1.draw" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened. This goes for all of my work, whether created in Ideas then opened recently in Draw, or files created in Draw from scratch.

    Illustrator files (.ai or .pdf)  that I save using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine on our network server. I try to open them on Mac.
    'The File "x.pdf" is an unknown format and cannot be opened'
    This may in some way be related to accessing the file over the server since when I transfer the file to my lcal drive I don't get the same error.  I still can't open the file but I get an error near the end of the opening process :
    "Could not read the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop adaptor"
    Again, I can open this file using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine.

  • Can`t open files in CS5.1 Illustrator

    I can`t open files in Ai CS5.1 . This problem has appeared the last week, I have been using this program every week for the last two years. The message I get is: The file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator.
    I have tried to download CS6, but the message I get is: You don`t need this update.
    So what can I do to make this work??

    jannemarete,
    In addition to what Scott and PrintFusion said, the offending file(s) could have been created in either CS6 or CC.
    In the latter case you will need to download the CC trial (you can use that for CS6 files as well, but there is no need to squander that option before you have some CC files do deal with).
    The CC download can be made from this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html?promoid=JZEFS
    An easier option may be to ask for a CS5 version when you receive files from others with CS6 or CC. Also, if you do that, any version induced change in the files will be on them.

  • File may be truncated or incomplete? Help!

    I have Mac G5 and Photoshop CS3 When saving I get a message: This document may be damaged (the file may be truncated or incomplete). Continue? I do have Capture one of this machine too.
    Can anyone help?   I do not get it on any other machines.
    Thanks

    I'm assuming this is on a local drive, not a networked drive?
    Sometime permissions issues can cause strange things in programs on networked drives.
    Have you tried a Save As, on another location or folder on your system?

  • Clamxav scan came up with dev/fd/3 can't open file

    Hi all!
    I'm running a clamxav scan as i am worried that i may have something on my comp after a security compromise on one of my gaming accounts. It has come up with
    "WARNING: Can't open file /dev/fd/3: Permission denied"
    and as i have no idea about computers or what on earth this file is or used for i am not sure if it is anything i need to worry about...
    Thanks for your help!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's nothing to worry about, it's actually a little bit of developer code to find the file descriptor of an application, not something a user needs to read or write so just forget about it.
    More: +To understand what is going on, first note that "/dev/fd" is a "virtual" thing. It is a kind of a hack (developed for the use of shell scripts, I think) that gives a program a view of *its own* file descriptors.+
    +This means that if I have two programs running (e.g., '/bin/bash' and '/usr/bin/du'), and each of those looks in "/dev/fd", they could see different things. Each will see one file for each file descriptor that it has open, and the name of the file will be the number of that open descriptor.+
    +For example, by default, each program will have three open file descriptors, 0, 1, 2 (stdin, stdout, stderr). Different programs will have different ones open, so what you saw above is the result of that. The shell looked in "/dev/fd" and saw a number of files, one for each of its open files. The names were then passed to 'du' on the command line, as if the command were+
    +du -ks /dev/fd/0 /dev/fd/1 /dev/fd/2 /dev/fd/3 ...+
    +Then 'du' runs. Without looking at the code, I can only guess, but what has to be happening is that 'du' has closed FD 3, and when it tries to get information about '/dev/fd/3', the kernel gives it an error. The error is "EBADF" (see '/usr/include/sys/errno.h'), because access to "/dev/fd/3" is the same as accessing file descriptor 3 (for example, stat("/dev/fd/3",...) is the same as fstat(3,...))."+

  • Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

    Hi all,
    I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
    I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
    However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
    "file" E212: Can't open file for writing
    Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
    kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
    This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
    This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the replies
    I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
    Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
    Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
    There usual response is "its unsupported".
    If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
    What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???
