Corrupt / Damaged Project

I worked really hard on this ongoing Captivate 2 project
& decided to add Navigation Menus to it via Captivate 2's new
Menu feature.
I did that & went back & forth a few times to alter
the Menu items.
All of the sudden, I tried opening my project & it tells
me that the project is either damaged or corrupt.
I didn't do anything negative to it; didn't loose a network
connection while I had it open; I tried rebooting the file server a
few times & to no avail, cannot open this particular project.
This happened a few days ago & I'm still stuck.
Does anyone have any advise that they can share?

Hi Michael
I'm seeing lots of references here to networks. Is your
project by chance placed on the network? And you are opening
Captivate on your local PC and making edits to the project while it
is in the network location? If so, that's likely your issue. My
guess is that there is typically little to no chance of recovery of
the original project. So you will likely have to start over.
One possibility would be to try creating a new, blank project
that is sized identically to the errant one. Then click File >
Import/Export > Import Slides/Objects from other Adobe Captivate
projects... and see if the movie can be recovered that way. I
believe I've seen my fellow Community Expert Larry Walther (AKA
CatBandit) report that if you get to the Captivate start screen and
hover the link to the corrupt project and you actually see
information, your chances of recovery are greater. But if you don't
see information in the popup, you are probably sunk. Not sure if
this still applies in the Captivate 2 world, but it probably does.
Assuming this fails to work, and further assuming you were
editing files while they are on a Network share, consider this a
lesson hard earned and vow never to edit projects while on the
network ever again. It's always best practice to work off your
local PC. This means the C drive. Now if your IT folks insist on
having your project files stored on the network share for backup
purposes, this is fine. Just be sure to copy there frequently. Not
only will it provide them with a warm fuzzy, it will likely give
you a good avenue of recovery if something happens to your project.
In addition to this, you might want to take a moment to complete a
Wish form asking the Captivate developers to please, Please, PLEASE
provide some sort of a decompiler that will take a Captivate
created. .SWF or .EXE and convert it to a working .CP file. I
suggest this because I regularly see posts where the .CP file is
somehow corrupt and the person has a working .SWF. And I know other
decompilers are out there.

  • HELP! Warning! Damaged project! (Ginst)

    Today when I launch Garageband on my iPad I get the message:
    "Warning! Damaged project! (Ginst)". I press OK and Garageband then tries to load the last song I was working on and then crashes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    David

    And I can't even get into GarageBand now to do anything else, since it auto-loads the last project you worked on.  Massively frustrating.
    In that case it should help to reset GarageBand. You can do that from the "Settings" app. Scroll down to GarageBand and switch the "Reset GarageBand" switch to "On".
    This will reset it to factory settings and you can pick a different project, when you open GarageBand again. Sometimes this even helps to open a broken project, but I would not not rely on that, that the corrupted project can be opened after resetting GarageBand.

  • Damaged Project : "Encapsulate or Repair" ?

    Yesterday I received the dreaded 'damaged project' error message that I've read so much about...
    Luckily I was able to restore the project using an earlier version (in song backups). I did attempt to repair the project prior to this using the "repair" option (which clearly doesn't work - it just duplicated all my tracks & messed up all my sample references). I presume the "encapsulate" option is just a report summary, but correct me if I'm wrong - has anyone tried this option or had any success with the "repair" option, or is it simply quicker (& better) to rebuild a project from an earlier version?

    What causes a project to become damaged? It seems unique to Logic 8 (I've not experienced this with earlier versions of Logic or any other sequencer)... Time is money on any commercial session, so I'm keen to avoid it in the future.

  • How do I Fix This XML Error From my corrupt Premiere Project?

    So I've been trying to recover a corrupt Premiere Pro CC project for the past 3 and a half hours and I think I'm almost there. I kept getting the error "The Project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened."
    Back Story & Info
    After hours of searching and trying to repair the project I stumbled upon a thread that said to use an app called "XMLWrench" to repair the raw XML file of the project.
    Upon trying to open the project's XML data in XMLWrench I was greeted with complete and utter non-sense code composed of 90% random symbols and alien looking text. But, upon further research I found out that Premiere Pro CC vs CS6 stores the XML data in a some what compressed format. So what I did was add the file extension ".zip" to the end of my project and tried to extract it. Success! The extracted file was the un-compressed XML file which I was able to open and recognize as a Premiere Project.
    Now here's where I need help
    Now that I can import the XML file from the project into XMLWrench I'm able to scan it for errors. Apparently there appears to be only one. (Thank god, I think...). I'll add an image of the error message below along with a download link to the actually XML file to examine.
    Project XML File: MEGA
    Thank you!
    - Matt

    i was able to rename extension to .prproj and it opened in premiere. what happens if you do that?  i did open and save it from notepad++, but that shouldn't have done anything to the file...

  • Damaged project won't preview

    Warning - An iMovie project file can become corrupted and there doesn't seem to be any way to recover it. Like many others on this forum, I've learned this the hard way. Just search for "repair" or "corrupt". Plenty of posts but no solutions beyond reverting to a backup. Are there really no solutions?
    In my case, iMovie starts and is working fine on other projects, but I've got one project that hangs iM whenever I try to preview ("play") it. By hang, I mean the beachball spins and CPU usage goes to 100% forever. Oddly, I can skim through it OK and I've even been able to copy and paste out the sequence into a new project. That'll save me a ton of work but I'll still have to replace all the music and titles.
    I'm not happy that so much work has been lost. This shouldn't ever happen. But you should plan for it if you don't want to be crying with the rest of us.

    Rockin' good news. It appears that, while my project is damaged and cannot preview, it functions in every other way. I was able to continue editing, albeit "blindly", and then share a fully working movie to the media browser. Whew!
    This would have been tough if my project wasn't already almost complete. All the video was done and all I was doing was adding the final chapter markers and placing a few songs. This isn't too hard to do without previews.
    One other comment: If you're really careful about setting your preferences and project settings, it's possible to copy and paste from one project to another with pretty good fidelity: Transition and slide times, and KBE settings can be maintained. This is a partial solution to adding one project to another, to concatenate them. I had a problem moving stabilization settings, they all got set to "max" in the transfer, but later found a preference setting that might have caused that. I haven't confirmed whether you can avoid that problem. Of course sound effects and music don't transfer, but these can be replicated fairly quickly if they weren't too complex.

  • Adjustment Layer Crashes Premiere or Damages Project

    Nearly every time I have tried to use an adjustment layer in Premiere Pro CS6, the application has hung if I tried to scrub through the video. Yesterday I decided to try placing an adjustmnet layer and only using the play function rather than scrubbing and it seemed to work alright. However, this morning premiere will no longer open the project file. Instead it give me the error message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." This is an extremely heinous bug! Can anyone help or is this feature really just unusable?!!
    Additionally, because I was so fastidious about saving, given the previous crashes, the only functioning autosave is 6 hours out of date!
    HELP!

    I use ALs a lot, and haven't yet seen this behavior.
    Have you added any effects to the AL?  Does scrubbing work OK without the AL?

  • Does anyone have corrupt premiere projects and autosave files?

    A Premiere CC project that I have been working on for weeks now is corrupt and will not open.  I get a message "the project appears to be damagaed".  All of the associated autosave files are also now messed up (some are a month old). Everything else on the drive that contains the projects is fine. Even other older Premiere projects are fine.  I open the bad autosave projects in notepad and it is filled with jibberish compared to the other uneffected projects.  Is this a bug or have I been hacked by the recent Adobe securiy issue?  Here is a link to the project file http://adobe.ly/1awiNVO
    All of my autosave files look like this too.  How could all of my auto save files change to this jibberish too?  I could understand if a save to my current project goes to left field, but how do all of my autosaves get corrupted too?
    I have written out large portions of the project to finished movies, but still have a few I will need to start over from scratch if no one has a solution to my problem here.  I would really like to have a chance to go back and re-edit if I see anything I want to touch up in the exported movies I have.  Thank God I at least have what I do otherwise it would be a months worth of work down the tube.   Has anyone else had this issue, or better yet have a fix? 

    Thanks Jon, I was not aware of the new zip files for the project files in CC.  As Ann had confirmed, the project file was actually intact.  I moved all of my assets and the project to another machine and it opened just fine.  I still do not know why the project will not open on the other machine.  Premier will open and start a new project, but I get an error code if I try to open that project.  I did start the project in CS6 and convert it to CC when we upgraded, but a bug there still does not explain why the same project works on one computer but not the other.  I will do a better job of asset management next time I work on that computer just in case:)

    The reason it is pointless to submit the crash log here is because nowhere does it tell you which clip, which title/event/generator/transition, or any other named portion of your project FCPX died in. It is literally no help whatsoever to you, only to Apple engineers trying to debug the software. When it crashes, fill out what you were doing when it crashed 'cause even *they* need a hint!  All we can discern is that FCPX crashed on Thread 14 on BGTask: MEBackgroundLoadManager and right before that was a call for a dynamically linked library. That could be anything... but my guess would be an "effect" (possibly with a corrupt font.) If you knew which effect you were "playing with" when FCPX crashed (or even if you simply moused over one), you could go in and remove it temporarily; restart FCPX and (if you get that far) delete the "red-screen alert" item from the project. If there was a corrupt font involved -- get rid of it! (You can analyze fonts in Font Book) and afterwards, you can re-add whatever effect was removed. [For clips, you can take them "offline" temporarily by moving them out of the event folder... I don't recommend this course of action, I don't believe the "base video" would ever be an issue if it were transcoded on or before import... only trying to use H.264 "raw" would be something that might "choke" FCPX.]
    In my experience, the things that bring down FCPX: corrupt fonts used for any text (FCPX will die immediately even if you pass over them with the mouse on your way to selecting something else - you might not even know which font that was either); Motion effects I'm developing that push the envelope a little too far (but that would be just for me I try to make sure they're stable before releasing them to the public -- but this implies other 3rd party effects that might not be so stringently checked out); and not much else. [Other possibilities I usually place "outside of FCPX" - such as launching other memory hungry apps while FCPX is open... etc. Poor(er) memory management in other apps might overwrite RAM buffered data and cause a "fault"...]
    If you *know* what exactly offended FCPX, there are (usually) steps you can take to remove the offending "software" and upon reopening FCPX, FCPX will make necessary substitutions (defaulting fonts, putting up the "red alert" screen, etc...)
    **OR** much easier: use Andy's tip about getting to the last backup. (Tip: if you do have corrupt fonts, using backups all the time isn't really going to help you that much.)
    [You would think that after over 20 years of dealing with bitmapped, PostScript and Truetype fonts Apple would have developed a way of "intercepting" problems that arise... but NOOOOOOOO! We are *still* at the mercy of corrupted fonts. PS - Ditto for Motion!   (ok, i'll be gettin' down from my soapbox now...)]

  • Thunderbird seems to corrupt / damage certain PDF files

    Lately I have experienced trouble with receiving certain PDF files. (I say certain because it does not happen to all PDF files I have received).
    I can download and save them normally but they will not open and simply say they are corrupt and unrepairable. After some testing I pinpointed it to being an issue with Thunderbird as an e-mail with a pdf file could be opened on other e-mail accounts but the file still showed up as corrupt on thunderbird.
    Steps in which the issue occurs:
    > Receiving an e-mail with a PDF file
    > opening and/or saving the file
    Result:
    > Damaged/Corrupt file
    Expected result:
    > The correct and working PDF File.

    Open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and paste mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks into the Search box. If the value is true, double-click it to make it false, and see if that makes any difference.

  • Archiving corrupts iDVD project

    Hey there, Im new to iDVD (but not macs). Have successfully created and played a couple of iDVD projects. Since I don't have a burner in this machine I have attempted to archive 2 projects and move them to another machine via flash drive so they can be burned. Once the project is finished archiving, and shows the appended "archived" file name, that archived version plays fine in Preview mode. However, if I save it, close iDVD, then re-open the same file the app hangs. If I save the archived project to flash or CD and try moving it to a new machine iDVD on that machine yields an error message and wont load the project. Im using os 10.4.6 and iDVD 5.0.1 so that is all up to date. What is causing the corruption upon saving??
    Thanks!

    Sue, you are a font of information.
    Thanks for the great tip, but No, that has no affect. The ownerships were already at read/write for myself and others. Also, it is not just others who cant play it.,..I cant' play it on the machine I made it on. I get the menu page, but navigaiting to a slideshow hangs the app. It kinda buggin' me as I am used to stuff working. I did find that iMovie '05 has a bug regarding "make movie last as long as selected song" feature...so maybe this app is goofy too? I always favor solutions that dont require an upgrade Thanks!!

  • Global Templates Corrupted in Project 2010

    Has anyone had an issue with project templates, associated with EPT's, causing Project Pro 2010 to crash whenever the drop-down selection on a column (field) is chosen?
    I am running Project Server/Pro 2010 SP1 patched to Oct 2012.
    I have 3 templates that are similar (small, medium, large).  The medium and large when opened as templates were fine, so I simply saved them back and they are working fine.  The small one was corrupted whenever the column drop-down was clicked. 
    I opened another version of the small template from my lab system (same content as production) and saved it to production and all is good.  I am at a loss to figure what happened prior to this exercise. I saved a copy of the corrupted small template and
    the corrupted projects for further examination.  Any ideas?  The fix for the projects with the corrupted template requires saving all the PWA and Project Site information, deleting the project and its associated site and starting over from scratch. 
    Those with actual hours will take even longer.  What a mess.
    Update 4/29/14 -
    Regarding the corrupted template and project files that occurred recently, Microsoft has stated that this behavior is fixed after installing the April 2014 CU. 
    I will verify this when the April CU is applied to the test machine in our lab. 
    The cause of the crashing was related to a null setting in the filter-by and group-by settings.  A null is not a setting that can be selected, so I am unclear as to how it got that way in the template.
     There is no answer as to why the selections are null and it cannot be corrected. 
    This is a bug.

    Dinesh,
    I am painfully aware of the fix to the corruption.  I have removed all the corrupted templates and replaced them with non-corrupted ones.  I am now working to fix 32 projects that have the corrupted template.  Some of these 32 have actual
    hours posted making the task even more time consuming.
    No I did not initiate a ticket with Microsoft.  My experience after working through several bug tickets with them it is that it takes a lot of effort to provide them what they need (problem description, creating compressed copies of all 4 databases,
    uploading, fielding calls from the support techs, then dealilng with the folks they hand off to, then getting acknowledgement that it is a bug and will be addressed by the development team and placed in a private fix or CU in an upcoming cycle).  In the
    meantime, I have projects to fix!  I realize that we are not up-to-date on CU's and SP's.  I am working on that now.
    Thanks.

    I think that this is related to some of my project pages having accented characters in their name, as all the ????? in the filenames corresponds to just those files, and they are the corrupted ones.

    Hi,
    It happened only to that project, and I actually fixed it by hex editing the project. The problem was related to then enconding and size of the filenames in the zip file, I used accented filenames with (If I remember correctly) UTF8 encoding. Some of the characters used 2 bytes to represent the filename, but only 1 was accountedd in the zip headers. I just added one to those size fields of the zip headers, and the it opened just fine.

  • Weird scripts in corrupted RH9 project

    Hi!
    I'm having trouble with a small 75-topic project in RH9. I just upgraded it from RH7 last month. The application runs on XP, service pack 3. The project file is located on a desktop and has a short access path (c:\RH9Projects\). I have in all 4 small RH projects, and created backups for each before upgrading to RH9. For simplicity purposes, the corrupted project will be identified as project A, and the others as B, C and D.
    After I finished tweaking the upgraded files and cleaning up unnecessary html in project A a few weeks ago, I generated my regular webhelp output and published it on the web. Everything was running smoothly. Since that upgrade from 7 to 9 went well, I repeated the steps for projects B, C and D. All was well again. I had also created backups at that time.
    Yesterday I went back to project A, and a lot of things are wrong. The TOC pod is empty, images that were in drop-down hotspots have disappeared and weird scripts have appeared in the topics' html. I first noticed those dreaded red squares at the top of all topics, sometimes 1 or 2. They also appear at the bottom of the topics.
    I closed project A without saving and tried opening project B. Everything is fine, nothing is missing. Same thing for project C and D. I tried opening a backed up copy of project A and that one too is corrupted. The backup copy was in a different folder but still with a short path. In this one, however, the opning topic is blank and has 6 red squares.
    Here's the script corresponding to the red square at the top of the topic:
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2">//<![CDATA[
    <!--
    if (window.gbWhTopic)
            var strUrl = document.location.href;
            var bc = 0;
            var n = strUrl.toLowerCase().indexOf("bc-");
            if(n != -1)
                    document.location.href = strUrl.substring(0, n);
                    bc = strUrl.substring(n+3);
            if (window.addTocInfo)
            addTocInfo("Aide en ligne JMS");
    addButton("show",BTN_TEXT,"Afficher","","","","",0,0,"","","");
            if (window.writeBtnStyle)
                    writeBtnStyle();
            if (window.writeIntopicBar)
                    writeIntopicBar(1);
            document.write("<p style=\"text-align:right\"> ");
    AddMasterBreadcrumbs("H_HLP_FR.htm", "", "&gt;", "Home", "1000.htm");
    document.write("Aide en ligne JMS<\/p>");
            if (window.setRelStartPage)
            setRelStartPage("H_HLP_FR.htm");
                    autoSync(1);
                    sendSyncInfo();
                    sendAveInfoOut();
    else
            if (window.gbIE4)
                    document.location.reload();
    //-->
    //]]></script>
    Here's the script corresponding to the red square at the bottom of the topic:
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2">//<![CDATA[
    <!--
    if (window.writeIntopicBar)
            writeIntopicBar(0);
    highlightSearch();
    //-->
    //]]></script>
    In some cases I also see this script - from a second red square:
    <script src="../../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"></script>(top)
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">//<![CDATA[
            if( typeof( TextPopupInit ) != 'function' ) TextPopupInit = new Function();
            TextPopupInit('a1','POPUP386155265');
            TextPopupInit('a2','POPUP386287878');
    //]]></script>(bottom)
    All RH9 versions of project A, original file and backup files, have this problem. If I open project A backup file using RH7, the file is okay. I know I can still start over with a new upgrade if need be, but I'm trying to figure out what happened. Everything was fine on April 20
    Aside from a techsupport guy, I am the only one who accesses this computer. There are no known technical issues with it. It is not connected to the Internet, only to the company's network, and security is thight.
    Does anyone have any clue as to what might have happened?
    Thank you in advance
    Nathalie

    Hi there
    Well it would appear that somehow you managed to copy your generated WebHelp output files over your pristine source files. Time to resort to your backup.
    You, ummm, DO have a backup. Right?
    In case you don't, follow the link below.
