Checking for corrupt image or element

Hi
Hoping someone may be able to help, I have a 256 page book which I created in InDesign CS3, the book is made up of several documents.
I need to export to a PDF, each time I try it fails as there is a corrupt image. Is there anyway I check the documents for corrupt elements before I create the PDF?
Any help appreciated.

You need to "Divide and Conquer." It's not unusual to have a failure exporting to PDF with low disk space, but that might not be your problem. In either case the first step is the same. Divide the document in half during the export process and see if each half will export separately.
If you can export both halves, you may need to live with that and simply recombine them in Acrobat. I don't recall any definitive answers for what to do fix this. Deleting temporary files may help.
If you still get a failure, divide that section in half and try again (see below). If both sections fail, it could be either a bad font or more than one bad image.
Make a copy of the document and change all the fonts to something simple and reliable, like Times New Roman, and see if that works. If it does, make a new copy of the original and eliminate fonts one by one, starting with cheap or freebie fonts from the web, and test after each replacement.
If only one section failed it's more likely an image, and you should be able to isolate the page by continuing to divide the section that fails. Once you know which page, make a copy, and remove images one by one, starting with .eps if there are any.
If you find a bad image, try resaving it and replacing with a native .ai or .psd.

Error: no known VMs. (check for corrupt jvm.cfg file)

I have just installed jdk1.4 on my pc (windows 2000).
Whenever I try to run a compiled class at the command line i.e java classname, I get the error message "Error: no known VMs. (check for corrupt jvm.cfg file)".
Looking through my file system I actually have two similar copies of jvm.cfg in two different directories.
Please help.

For anyone who is interested, I uninstalled and re-installed SDK.

Any new fixes for corrupt images in Lightroom 4.4?

I have seen many threads on this and tried a lot of the tings people say to try. But I do get corrupt images in Lightroom. I currently have an AMD FX-8150, 32GB ram, 2 SSD Raid0 + USB3.0 drives as backup.
Drive and Memory:
Note, I only keep up to the last 3 shoots on my SSD, the rest are stored on my USB3 drives. Any time I import files to the USB drive I get no corruption. Now that would imply that I have bad drives, I have run diskcheck and contacted Muskin and they had me run some disk checks, speed tests, +other things and identified that the drives are running fine with no issues and this has to be a software issue.
I have run memtest86+ with no errors, also ran memtest86+ with my memory in another machine with no errors.
To rule out the card reader:
When I just copy files from my CF Card to a folder using explorer all images import fine and you can even open every image in photoshop with no issues. As soon as you add those files already copied to the HD to lightroom, they start to corrupt. I just recently used the windows explorer method and added ~400 images to lightroom, all images imported fine, when I later accessed lightroom(Today), about 10% of those images are not corrupt.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be because I use Raid0? Or even SSD drives?
This is quite annoying and I would like to get things fixed.

Usually when Lr renames the photos as you saw kianjillwedding-19, Lr changed the name from IMG_1968. Thats may have something to do with the corruption.
I don't see how. Renaming shouldn't change anything on disk except, well, the name - and of course update a bunch of things in the catalog.

I will get back to you if the problem continues but everything still seems to be fine in Lr5, even after letting Lr rename all the photos with my current(today's) import of 700 images.
OK - thanks.

~impossible it's Lr4 software. Theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. As I said, Lr4 should never be rewriting those files, and therefore essentially can not corrupt them. I mean, its possible that it got it's brains scrambled, and went ahead and rewrote them, for god-knows why or just for the he|| of it - because some bits seemed to be set wrong..., thus invalidating the assumption that it's not rewriting them. It's just that this scenario is the least likely. I mean, Jeff Schewe has given me spankings more than once before, for even bringing it up, since it's so unlikely...

maybe Lr 4 was causing some sort of bug to make the hardware malfunction
Although theoretically possible, I'd still venture to guess that's not what happened.

this is not happening to my in Lr5.
Didn't you also change your disk drive situation around just before you started using Lr5?

How to Check for budget in WBS Element ?

Is there any mechanism to check if budget has been exceeded, in the respective WBS Element, while at or before approval of manhours in CAPP. It so happens manya time that, times are getting approved, and CAT5 Errors are taking place due to shortage of budget. How can we pro-actively check for budget being exceeded, and then avoid budget errors during CAT5 runs? Any suggestions?

How can i check for corrupt data

I have a lot of machine embroidery designs stored on my imac and have reason to believe some may have corrupt data which is not evident when opening but has caused major damage to memory board in sewing machine. Is there anyway to scan for corrupt files?

My wifes sewing machine is in for service and repair because a couple of designs in the memory have somehow become too big for the machine to open them so it is not possible to edit or delete them. I sent the designs to brother and their machines developed a problem as well so they had to change the memory board and they can only put it down to a corrupt file even though they can't prove it as virus scans show all clear and the designs work fine on the computer with the sewing software program. Our machine worked fine except for not being able to remove 3 designs. Brother said their machines version number changed and also couldn't remove the designs. I have read that if a file is corrupt, backup software will detect it but again no problem there. I have sent the suspect designs to someone in the US who is going to access the design and see if they can find anything but at the moment I can't get any answers because its never happened before. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Dennis

How can I check for corrupt files/ programs?

I have just received a call from a scammer, but before I realised it wasn't real, they logged on to my Mac (using TeamViewer) and had control for about five minutes. At best, they were just trying to hard-sell me some anti-virus protection, but I'm worried it's much worse than that.
Once I suspected something, I instantly cut the connection and shut down the Mac, but I'm worried that they may have placed some programs on my Mac to either send information/ files or just to track internet key strokes.
Apart from the obvious (speaking to my bank, etc.), is there something I can run on the Mac to see if it is clean?
Urgent help appreciated.

The only way you can be sure that the computer is not compromised is to erase at least the startup volume and restore it to something like the status quo ante. The easiest approach is to recover your entire system from a backup that predates the attack. Obviously, that's only practical if you know when the attack took place, and it was recent, and you have such a backup. You will lose all changes to your data, such as email, that were made after the time of the snapshot. Some of those changes can be restored from a later backup.
If you don't know when the attack happened, or if it was too long ago for a complete rollback to be feasible, then you should erase and install OS X. If you don't already have at least two complete, independent backups of your data, then you must make them first. One backup is not enough to be safe.
When you reboot after the installation, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process for a new computer. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups in Setup Assistant.
Select only users in the Setup Assistant dialog — not Applications, Other files and folders, or Computer & Network Settings. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
Reinstall your third-party software from original media or fresh downloads — not from a backup, which may be contaminated.
Unless you were the target of an improbably sophisticated attack, this procedure will leave you with a clean system. If you have reason to think that you were the target of a sophisticated attack, then you need expert help.
That being done, change all Internet passwords and check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Do this after your system has been secured, not before.

Do I need check for "broken packets" ?

Hi all,
I'm writing an application that uses sockets in java (j2me CDC Profile) that communicates with a server that was written in Delphi.
This Delphi application has a loop for receiving packets and checks if all amount of data received reached the final packet size.
I believe that all that I need to do is something like this:
while((charRead = bufReader.read()) > -1){
strBuffer.append((char)charRead );
}I suppose that if there is some "interruption" in communication with sockets,
bufReader.read() will return -1 and I don't have to worry if server sent me packets with different sizes...
And btw, If someone with experience with sockets can explain or show me some path to learn more about sockets concepts to eliminate my doubts about it. What differences can I found in cases like this, I mean, differences between java and other languages when we talk about sockets.
I hope I could be clear in my explanation.
Thanks for any help.

If your communication is done using TCP/IP there is no need to check for corrupted packets. You will get either all the data that was sent or an exception will be thrown. The data may come in several packets, but if you just read until you reach the end of file or a delimiter such as linefeed, you should be fine. If you wrap your InputStream in a BufferedReader you can read lines and the bytes will be converted to Strings for you.

I am not seeing placeholders for missing or corrupt images. Is there an option to turn these on or off, or does Firefox not display these by default?

I am a web designer. I use FF as my default browser for everything--including work. When viewing pages containing broken image links or corrupted images, no placeholders show to indicate the problem.
I have to use another browser to check my work. Placeholders are such basic elements that they should appear without having to switch browsers or search for options.
Thinking I may have accidentally unset an option for viewing image placeholders, I have looked everywhere in the options (including Web Dev tools) and have searched support. I have found absolutely nothing to solve my issue.
Firefox--whatever version I had installed prior to a computer reformat and browser reinstall--was doing the same, so please don't suggest a FF reinstall or reset as a possible solution.

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
#Search for browser.display.show_image_placeholders and make sure it is set to true.
That was a configuration that was from a very early on version of Firefox, so if this does not make a change there is more:
What is interesting is that there is also a css that allows the styling of the broken images: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-moz-force-broken-image-icon]
This was an inter sting hack for the personal profile in Firefox : [http://megashare.altervista.org/blog/2012/08/enable-broken-image-placeholders-in-firefox/]
Please post back with your results, thank you!

How to check a XMLTYPE table for corrupted (not invalid!) XML records ??

Hello,
I'd like to get help on the following issue, please. I need to check the XML data in a number of tables with XMLTYPE data type. Some of the data is corrupted but in terms not that the XML format is wrong but there is no XML at all in the fields but just only, for example, control characters (no tags, no anything, just corrupted data).
So, I have made a PL/SQL procedure cursor to get all the tables from a list, and then another cursor inside to browse each table for corrupted records. But can you help me how to check this? Any of the XML functions like for example: XMLIsValid, isFragment(), getrootelement(), etc. return to me an Oracle error "ORA-31011 XML parsing failed" and the procedure gets stuck on the first found bad record. But I need to continue and check all of them. Is it possible to get the ORA-31011 error with EXCEPTION, write to a logging table the corrupted record ID, and then continue?
Here is my simple procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CHECKXML (v_schema in VARCHAR2)
IS
     v_Message     VARCHAR2(254);
     sql_stmt1     VARCHAR2(1000);
     sql_stmt2     VARCHAR2(1000);
     c1           SYS_REFCURSOR;
     c2           SYS_REFCURSOR;

     cur_appl     varchar2(100);
     cur_rec     varchar2(200);
     valid_flag     number;
     criteria     VARCHAR2(20);
     tab1          VARCHAR2(20);
     tab2          VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
     criteria := 'XMLTYPE';
     sql_stmt1 := 'select id, path from ' || v_schema || '.stubfiles where type=:bcriteria';
     open c1 for sql_stmt1 using criteria;
     loop
     begin
          fetch c1 into cur_tab, cur_appl;
          exit when c1%notfound;
               insert into system.log_table values (sysdate, v_schema, 'next table', 'id ' || cur_tab, 'appl ' || cur_appl, '');
          sql_stmt2 := 'select t.recid, t.xmlrecord.isFragment() from ' || v_schema || '.' || cur_tab || ' t';
          open c2 for sql_stmt2;
          loop
          begin
          fetch c2 into cur_rec, valid_flag;
               exit when c2%notfound;
               insert into system.log_table values (sysdate, v_Schema, 'next record', 'id ' || cur_tab, 'recid ' || cur_rec, 'valid ' || valid_flag);
               commit;
          EXCEPTION
               WHEN OTHERS THEN v_Message := sqlerrm;
               dbms_output.put_line('Error for ' || cur_tab);
               dbms_output.put_line('-' || v_Message);
               insert into system.log_table values (sysdate, cur_tab, 'id err' || c_Row.ID,'appl err' || c_Row.path, v_Message,'');
          end;
          end loop;
          close c2;
          commit;
     end;
     end loop;
     close c1;
     commit;
END CHECKXML;
Thanks in advance

Error Individual check for creating the object WBS Element required

Hi Expert,
I've a requirement to create WBS elements using BAPI. And I am using BAPIs in the following manner.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION'
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI'
EXPORTING
i_project_definition = g_pdwbs
TABLES
it_wbs_element = it_wbs_element
et_return = it_return
EXTENSIONIN =
EXTENSIONOUT =
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT'
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
When I do so I am getting the below errors. Please suggest.
"Individual check for creating the object WBS Element C-497082 required ".
"Individual check for creating the object WBS Element C-497082-0001 required".
Please suggest how to correct this error.

Hi Karthikeya,
I think the project profile which you are using has a different mask and the WBS element you are passing is different to the BAPI.
Are you able to create manually from CJ01 using the same WBS element?
Create a project manually and it will give the list of the mandatory fields set in the config. Using that list populate the BAPI struture accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Lakshman.

Check list for creating a cost element?

Hi,
Who can provide a check list for creating a cost element?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
Cost Elements are broadly of two categories - Primary and Secondary cost elements.
In case of primary cost element a GL Account should have been created and in case of secondary cost no corresponding GL account should exist. Secondary Cost Elements are used only in Controlling Module. The transaction codes are:
KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element.
KA06 - Create Secondary Cost Element.
KA02 - Change Cost Element
KA03 - Display Cost Element
KA04 - Delete Cost Element
KA05 - Display Changes
Once transaction data is posted Cost Element cannot be deleted.
Another point in Cost Elements is defining the Cost Element category. Cost Element category determines which Cost Element category can be used for which Business Purpose. For example cost element category 1 is used for primary costs and 11 is used for revenues.
In the default account assignment tab, we can define a cost center / internal order and always the postings for that cost element will be posted to that cost object.
Thanks
Murali.

I cannot download a song it says it has been corrupted and must go to store check for downloads and I do that and it says the same thing. will not download I paid for it and can't download

I purchased a song but when downloading it says it is corrupted. So I go to store and check for downloads and it does the same thing

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
