Copied MP3s are corrupt

I'm having a problem with MP3 files becoming corrupted when I copy them to an external device. The MP3s reside on my 15" MBP retina's internal flash drive. When I copy them to a microSD card in the MBP's SD card slot using an SD to microSD card adapter the files become corrupt. I've tried different SD cards, different adapters, and I've even tried copying directly to an external device (MP3 player) using a USB cable. No matter what I do the files are corrupt.
Another clue could be that the first 10 or so files copy fine, and the rest are corrupt.
I'd like to try copying in safe mode, but in safe mode the MBP's SD card slot is unavailable.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on, and how to resolve this issue?
Thanks!

Guys, I'm sorry for being AWL on this. I'm in Venezuela with limited internet access and limited time. I will get back with more answers soon.
Let me answer what I can now.
Q. Were the MP3s created in iTunes? Or something else?
A. Something else. I picked up these files from varous sources. I acquired them as MP3s
Q. Has this process ever worked in the past, or is this something you've never tried before?
A. It worked in the past. I'm not sure what changed.
Q. And the MP3s play correctly on your Mac? And they are definitely MP3s, not m4a or aac...?
A. They play fine on my Mac, and they are MP3s.
Q. Does it matter which files are the first 10? Or not? (i.e. if you copy 10 files at a time, does that work?) How many files are you copying in one go?
A. I'll need to research that and get back to you. I'll try to do that soon.

Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry

Hello,
I have installed BusinessObjects XI 4 SP02 on server 2008 R2. BO Client tools with sp02 and Patch 8 is also installed.
When tried to install BO Server patch 8 (ENTERPRISE02P_8-10009484) I get this error;
"Some installation files are corrupted. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation."
while unzipping, WinRAR window throws below message in red;
CRC failed in dunit
\crystalreports.boe.clientactions.java.webpath_bundle-4.0-core-64\content.cab
I have tried twice with fresh copy downloaded on same server and still can't pass this error.
Loading latest patch such as patch 10 is last option since all client machines here are on patch 8.
Has anyone seen this behavior?

Hi,
I'm installing an updated version of Dashboard Design (SP04 Patch 0 - includes FP3). However, during the extraction of the installation file, I get the following message :

Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation."
I tried to download the application again from SAP Service MarketPlace but the same message rises during installation.
The downloaded file is XCELSIUSENT04_0-20006661.exe
Did anyone manage to correclty install this version ?
Thanks for your feedback.

Can I copy mp3 files from my PC to my iPhone4?

I have an extensive music collection that I've already digitized from vinyl and reel to reel tape. I have a file structure on my pc and don't really want to use iTunes as a player or download app; and I'm don't want to have iTunes on my pc re-organize my music collection. Any advice on how to copy mp3 files to my iPhone 4 will be greatly appreciated.

The iTunes Music folder is on your PC. It's where iTunes will download things from the iTunes Store, and where it will by default store music you rip from CD or import. That's why you turn off that setting I gave above when you want your track files to be kept where they are.
Can I attach my iPhone via USB cable to my PC and simply choose which music files to copy, and if so is there already a file structure on my iPhone?
No. Tracks need to be listed in iTunes to be able to be synched to your iPhone.

How to restore from back up when some files are corrupt and crash the restore?

iphone 4 16gb
IOS 5.0.1
iTunes 10.5.3
History:
installed iOS5 back on release date. install was interrupted, likely due to high volumes. Completed install. Initial problem noted: unable to add events to calendar. Then problem progressed to "Voice Memo" app crashing. I installed "Quick Voice" app as an alternative. Problem progressed further to an unexplained increase in "other" content on iphone. Last week I tried syncing my phone and received error message that I didn't have enough space to complete sync. Noted then that "other" content was around 5.4gb! Removed "voice memos" playlist from selected playlists to sync under music tab and noted that other content dropped to 4.5gb
Synced the phone and noticed that it appeared to move through the sync process faster than usual. Sync showed "audio" content and "other" content to be the same size at about 4.5gbs.
After sync was completed I disconnected the phone and looked at the content of my phone. No apps, No music, No photo albums! SMS texts, Notes and Contacts still all intact on phone.
Tried multiple solutions including restore to fix the problem. Each time, when the phone is plugged in and mounted in iTunes, it shows audio content at 4.5gb and other content at 4.5gbs yet the phone itself has no music, no apps and no photo albums. It does still have pictures in "camera roll", though.
After trying many suggested solutions, I gave up and went to Apple store to see the Geniuses (Genii ) They did a firmware update and reset my phone. I was advised to restore from back up. However, when I tried to restore from my back up, it would fail to complete. Unable to restore from back up and sync attempts fail.
The only data I really don't want to lose is my text message history, my notes and my voice files from "Quick Voice" app.
Restoring from back up is not an option since I believe there are corrupt files in the back up. So what I want to know is can I restore my phone as a new phone, and then re-install my text message history, notes and the sound files from the "Quick Voice" app? Perhaps using a 3rd party app to retrieve those particular files from my back up and copy them to the phone directly? Or can I create a new back up file and copy those files to the new back up file. Hopefully I would then be able to restore from the newly created back up successfully since the likely corrupt files will be in the old back up file?
All other information; apps, photos, music and contacts can be re-installed from iTunes.

Sigh....
And it just keeps getting stranger! I just disconnected the internet and opened iTunes on my Mac. It opens just fine when disconnected from the internet. iTunes crash seems to be caused when it's trying to connect to iTunes store????
Really need help!
1) Why is iTunes crashing when connected to internet?
2) If I am unable to restore from my back up due to corrupted files within the back up, how can I preserve my text messages, notes and "Quick Voice" app files?

Copied files got corrupted in USB3 external drives connected to Macbook Pro, how to fix it?

I use USB3 connected external hard drives in my Macbook Pro (Yosemite 10.10.1) frequently. I had no problem until two months ago. This week I noticed a lot of corrupted files in one drive. Luckily I have a backup, and I copied the files. But the files copied recently were mostly corrupted even though source files are fine. I spent a whole day trying with different options, e.g. erasing the drive, using cp, rsync, ditto etc. I figured out that if I copy single file or folder using cp, the copied files are fine, but rsync, ditto or recursive cp or finder's drag and drop results into a lot of corrupted files. I thought this was the hardware related issue of the external drive. But, I was surprised to notice that all files copied without any problem when I used a old macbook (only has USB2 port, and still use Mavericks). Since I have almost 2TB data to write, USB2 is very slow. I am very disappointed to find out that USB3 in Yosemite has caused all these troubles. If anyone has a solution to this problem, Please suggest.
External hard drive Western Digital My passport.
Disk is formatted to Paragon NTFS

It's good to hear the Macbook Pro & the disk is capable of working correctly. The next test would be to try a clean install of OS X & repeat the copy guess. Adding third party drivers for write support makes the picture a little cloudy IMO.
I'm not really sure what else to suggest other than doing some tests & then taking that data to an Apple store. If you are lucky the genius may follow up on it, or if you submit it as bug reports Apple may follow up on it.

Problem copying mp3s to SD Card

Greetings, all...
I just purchased a new phone with a SD card (4GB) and copied some MP3 songs to it. The problem is that, after copying, the MP3s are in place but so are 4K files of the same name as the "real" MP3 files. I have to go into the phone and manually delete these small files.
What's the matter here?
Any help would be appreciated...
Clinton

They seem to be exactly the same - I've already deleted the 4k files, so I don't know that for certain. I did, however, find a utility that I think will help me: Blue Harvest at http://www.zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest4/. They have a 30-day trial and, if it works, I'll buy it
I'm just dragging the files to the card - I, too, have just dragged files to a FAT disk and had no problems. But this even has a DS_store (or whatever it's called) on the card now as well!
I'll try Blue Harvest later in the day and let folks know if that works well.
Thanks,
Clinton

How do I identify and fix images Elements 10 believes are corrupt?

During the past three days I have had problems with the functionality of my Photoshop Elements 10 and received several messages indicating that the catalog is corrupt. How do I identify and fix images Elements 10 believes are corrupt?

Thank you for the prompt reply unfortunately the fix did not work.
Let me provide some more information that may help you diagnose this problem.
I run Elements on a PC. The operating system is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium. The System Type is x64-based. The processor is AMD A8-3850 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 2900 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s). The Hard Drive is 1.81 TB, and 1.5 TB of this is free. The Ram is 16 GB. Everything else works great.
I have used Photoshop Elements for about 10 years, during which time I have upgraded to newer versions 5 or 6 times. I have used Elements 10 during the past 2 years. I already bought Elements 12 but I am trying to repair this issue before I upgrade to it. I have approximately 65,000 photos in my catalog. All but the last 2,000 are backed up.
During the past few days I encountered several problems with the functionality of my Elements 10; all errors provide messages indicating that the catalog is corrupt. Forexample, when I edit a photo in my catalog, the thumbnail image of the newly edited versionwill not display. When I imported new photos, the thumbnail image would not display. In all cases the photo image was replaced by a ?.
I tried to correct the thumbnail problem by repairing and optimizing the catalog. In either case I received the same message that the catalog had not been repaired/optimized because some images were corrupt. However, despite this message, the thumbnails for the newly imported photos appeared but the thumbnails for the recently edited photos still have not.
Currently, I cannot import new images, edit, delete or even stack photos. I can still view, search for, copy and delete photos. When I try to import a photo a new photo I get the following messages - ”the requested change could not be completed because the current catalog is corrupt. You can attempt a repair in the file catalog dialog." - "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types or the files are already in this Catalog." and "The catalog could not be repaired, if you have a recent catalog backup, you should restore it."
I have visually inspected the catalog and found about 25 recently imported photos that have a thumbnail image but lack the photo's id (i.e. img_3075.jpg would be replaced with ?). They are my photos from my camera and no different that the other 300 images I imported at the same time. However, these images in the catalog are blurry. When I check the image in the My Pictures folder the image is fine and properly located between img_3074.jpg and img_3076.jpg. I attempted to reconnect but received a message that there are no files to reconnect. I cannot delete the images from the catalog and If I delete them at the source (in the file folder) they still remain in the catalog view.
Howdo I identify and fix images that Elements believes are corrupt?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Your application files are corrupted!

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I also have a three year old MacBook Pro that the new one is replacing. When the new one was removed from the box, it was running fine. It also asked me some questions concerning it being a replacement, so I said 'sure' and it wanted me to run the Migration Assistant. So I ran the Migration Assistant for the next four hours.
When it was completed, it said everything was copied successfully. Now, whenever I log onto the new MacBook, I receive the following error message:
"Your application files are corrupted! For security reasons please reinstall the application." Then there is an OK button.
I have tried reinstalling the application files (I think). Also, it only happens when I logon. So, I made a new account thinking the account may be the problem, but the new account shows the same error message. I tried holding down the Shift key until the progress bar appeared, but still no luck.
The old MacBook ran, or still runs fine and error free. What is my next step?
Thank you.

OS X Internet Recovery
Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion include the ability to start up directly from an Internet-based version of the OS X Recovery system. OS X automatically uses this feature when the Recovery System on the hard disk isn't available (such as when your hard disk encounters an issue, or when your hard disk has been replaced or erased). OS X Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's servers. Starting up from this system performs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to check for hardware issues.
OS X Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, entering a passphrase. Next, OS X Internet Recovery downloads and starts from a Recovery System image. From there, you are offered the same utilities and options as a local Recovery System.
Requirements for reinstalling OS X using Recovery
Reinstalling OS X using OS X Recovery requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the Internet from Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation
If you use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X, it installs the version of OS X that originally came with your computer. After installation is finished, use the Mac App Store to install related updates or later versions of OS X that you have previously purchased.

CRVS2010 Beta- Some Installation files are corrupt

Hello,
I am trying to download the CRVS2010 beta. It downloads and when I run the cr4vs2010.exe I get this error:
"Some installation files are corrupt.
Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation"
I have tried redownloading multiple times with different browsers to no avail. I need this downloaded ASAP as we have multiple crystal reports that were ported over from VS 2008.
Please Help.

Hi Burns,
I just downloaded from the US link and ran the installer and it worked for me. It extracted all of the files and it appears the setup engine is almost the last file it extracts.
I believe this is a permission issue. Does it get as far to create this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\InstallData\logs
or any \SAP BusinessObjects folders?
Try adding the EXE's to the trusted list in your Anti-virus software and/or firewall and or anywhere else Windows may be blocking executables.
Thank you
Don

Tried to sync to new device, now contacts are corrupted / missing

Hi,
I was using a Zire 21 for a while until it recently got lost. I then got a Zire 31 and tried to sync the info from my palm desktop onto it, but after doing so the contacts are corrupted on both the desktop and the new palm. Corrupted, meaning not all contacts are there, the ones that are still there are missing information such as phone numbers, my categories are gone (everything appears as "unfiled"), etc.
I tried closing palm desktop, then copying address.bak to address.dat in my user folder, same problem. I searched all over for any *.aba files, address.dat files, or any other backups, but could not find any.
Here is what appears in my palm desktop log:

I found all these .pdb files in the backup folder specified, but couldn't find any information on A) whether they can even be used to restore this kind of information, B) how this is done if so.
Can these PDB files help, and if not, is there any other way I can get my contacts back to normal?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated... many thanks in advance.

Warning message "Your device might not be able to play or view this file" when copying MP3s to MTP device

Some new phones are doing away with the virtual HDD and switching to MTP for transferring files to/from the device. Because of this every time I want to copy MP3s to my MTP device I get a Windows message saying "Your device might not be able to
play or view this file" forcing me to click "Ignore this error" every time I start a new copy. I am VERY grateful that there is an option that says "Do this for all remaining files", but it's still really annoying because each time I start a new file copy
it pops up.
To be clear, this is not a device or driver issue. This is a windows prompt that is specifically tied to MTP devices.
Is there a registry key I can change so Windows will automatically assume the answer is "Yes, your file will be copied, but you might not be able to play or view it on your device"? Or perhaps a key where I can change the file types this prompt is
tied to?

Hi,
Based on my research and test, I’m afraid that this feature is by-design. We cannot simply disable or change the feature by editing the registry.
I think you can use the transfer tool from your phone manufacturer.
Hope this helps.

Large scheduled DeskI reports are corrupt, but reported as successful

Hi, everyone.
One of our customers have recently upgraded from R2 to XI 3.1 SP2 + FP 2.9.
It is a standalone system (not clustered) running on Windows Server 2008 64-bit.
All BO server settings are default settings.
The problem was found when testing reports after migration.
After migrating, they have problems with some of their large reports.
These reports contain several prompts, and will take more than 3 hours to complete if the selection criterions are not limited significantly by using the prompts.
This was not a problem in R2.
The problem is as follows:
If one schedules the report and limits the data to retrieve, say, one month of data only, the reports schedules just fine and the instance can be opened without problems.
But, if one increases the time period to a year, retrieving a lot of data, we run into problems.
The history of the report will tell us that the report has run successfully, but when we open the instance in InfoView the report will immediately fail with an error message which just says Error: INF.
Nothing more.
I then tested by finding where the physical files for the instances were located in the Output File Repository using Query Builder.
The small instances can be opened directly using DeskI full client.
When opening the reports which gave me Error: INF in InfoView, I get "Unknown Error. FRM0007." in DeskI. This indicates that the u201Cbigu201D reports are corrupt.
Also, if we schedule to PDF, the PDF generated only contains "placeholders" for the data.
See this link for screenshot from a part of such a PDF. [PDF with errors|http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n597/AffectoASM/datalabels.png]
So the problem is: The scheduled reports runs for more than 3 hours and are reported as being successful. However, the report instance generated is corrupt.
Do anyone here know what might be the cause of this?
Thanks!

Appreciate the response, although I do not understand the SMB reference as I thought iSCSI was a direct block transfer. Indeed the memory load does increase during the period of the network activity. So caching applies to iSCSI
direct block access as well as SMB? Apologies for my ignorance.
iSCSI is cached on client side just like any physical disk (marked removable or not). So files you copy go to Cache and Memory Manager cache before traveling down storage stack pushed by Lazy Writer. So you see what you see: smaller amount of writes (<RAM
size) go immediately to memory and then storage stack, TCP, iSCSI and network actually kick in.
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

Files I send are corrupt but open fine on my computer

I have sent multiple files. .docs, .xls, .jpeg and all arrive at the recipient corrupted. I open them fine on my computer but when I send them it says they are corrupt. What is the problem? Are my files destroyed? I have everything on this computer. It is backed up but I don't know if those are corrupt too. What should I do? Any help would be great. Happens when I use both Safari and Firefox.

Please provide details on "Send". Do you use email (attachment, or copy and paste into the email), do you use FTP, SFTP, CIFS/SMB (Windows) file sharing, AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) file sharing, iChat file transfer, etc...
Are the file sent as is, or do you ZIP them first, or put them in a Mac OS X .dmg container, or any other packaging of the files before they are sent.
The users that are receiving these files, how do they extract them? What application do they use to read the files? What version of the applciation are they using, and what version of the applciation are you using to create these files (file format between versions of an application can change and newer software can create files that older software can not read).
Please be specific on exactly how your "Send" these files, what created the files, what was its version, how the users received the files, what software they used to read the files, what versions were they using. And any other details that may help someone identify the problem.
