Corrupt file during progam update

Last night I was told to update my programs (I had been told to do so for about two weeks but last night I finally got around to doing it). When I restarted my computer, it was completely reverted back to the very first time I used it...it was stripped to bare basics. Fortunately, I found all my files buried in my hard drive. I lost all my pictures though.
My point, how can I know if I have a corrupt file before updating my computer so this won't happen again and so I don't have to spend 3 hours rebuilding my entire computer? It just seems so inconvenient to update my computer now if I risk having to rebuild it every time. Is there a program I can use (or get) that locates corrupt files--also for viruses?
Thanks!

Check and be sure this didn't happen.

You should also always repair permissions on the drive after installing an update.

Corrupt xml during patch update

Im updating a red hat based 9i test environment from 9.2.0.4 to 9.2.0.6 and while specifying the products.xml through OUI I get the error:
".../Disk1/stage/products.xml is either a directory, or is a corrupt file. Specify a valid filename."
I grabbed the update zip file from MetaLink, put it on a network share, transfered it to an ftp site, then pulled it down in binary mode.
How would this get corrupted?
Thanks,
J

Can you load the products.xml file into your browser without difficulty?
can you do the same on the system where you first downloaded it from Metalink?
Why not download it from the system where it will eventually be used?

Corrupt file in the updated firefox 8.0

I updated to firefox, got a page up that said 'Thanks for downloading Firefox, but this version is out of date. For the latest security, performance and feature enhancements we strongly recommend that you get the newest version instead. 8.0, so I downloaded the new version, when i clicked on the firefox 8.0 exe, got a pop up saying 'cannot open file, file is corrupt'. Can anyone please let me know what to do next coz ive no idea thanks

Can anyone help me out??? Every time i try to do a live chat for firefox theres never anyone on line and really need to know what to do.
Ive started to download the version again, but its been 7hrs and its only a third of the way through, aprrox d/l time remaining is over 5 hours = is it supposed to take that long??
thanks

Will the firefox 25 update really reinstall the 4 uninstalled Kaspersky internet files after the update is complete?

I'm concerned that the updating process will not reinstall my Kaspersky internet security files when the updating is done. I have asked Kaspersky this same question but did not get a satisfactory answer. I am running Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 on a Windows Vista OS.

Firefox won't uninstall any Kaspersky files during the update process, nor will it reinstall any that weren't there before the update process.
What Firefox will do is '''disable''' any Kaspersky extensions that aren't marked by Kaspersky as compatible with Firefox 25. and once Kaspersky fixes "their stuff" and your PC receives those updated files, those Firefox extensions will work again. Firefox checks compatibilty of extensions every time it is opened, so once your Kaspersky extensions are updated Firefox will automatically enable them on startup.
Kaspersky isn't known for timely updates of their Firefox add-ons. It's almost like the Kaspersky developers have trouble keeping track of the Firefox 6 week schedule for new version releases; or they wait until the last minute to test the compatibility of "their stuff" with Firefox.

Ok! so i tried updating my ipad 2 software to I.O.S 6.1 and it failed then continued to shut down and put the plug into itunes logo on my screen! I then i have been trying to update and restore my Ipad 2, then it says corrupt file and stops any advice?

This is ridiculous!!!!! Apple Corporation needs to fix what ever went wrong with IOS 6.1 update and they better do it soon or theyre going to have a mob on their hands!! i have been continuosly restoring and updating my iPad 2 and it always says corrupt file then restarts the whole process! im going out of my mind and im about to say to **** with it and call apple themselves and make so many complaints that theyll fix it within the hour or i will go to new york city at the head of the corporation and make the most skeptical and most embarrissing seen that they will end up ashamed to even be working for a company with the supposedly "SMARTEST AND BRIGHTEST TECHNOLOGICAL PEOPLE IN THE U.S." who cant even get a software update correct so that it doesnt make some of our lives harder then they need to be! and if its already known to be corrupt then should take it off the whatever update liost and fix it before anyone else has to go what ive gone through, cause its pure torcher!! i paid good money for a product for easy use whenever and thats not what im getting when they cant even make a simple update thats supposed to help but only makes my product worse and make me wanna never buy from them again!

How to update cgicmd.dat file during runtime?

I'd like to know how do update cgicmd.dat file during runtime. For example, I run a report one.jsp as
http://<machine>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?one.jsp&USERID=uid/pwd@db&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss
within this report there is a hyperlink to open another report named two.jsp.
before creating this hyperlink, I'd like to update cgicmd.dat file with passed in userID, pwd, and connection, so two.jsp can use this key for userinfo
so I can create hyperlink as follows
srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?report=two.jsp'||
'&cmdkey=userinfo&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss');
Thanks

To my knowledge the cgicmd.dat is only read when the OC4J starts, so you would have to come up with another solution. Using Single-Sign-On (SSO) is quite a good idea, and it's there for cases like this.

Finding corrupt file in an Windows 8.1 Update installation

Hi
I would like to know if, with
Windows 8.1 Update, there is a
way to know if its installation has
some of its corrupt file?
Thanks
Bye
Balubeto

Usually after update been download, it will be checked for file integrity before it install and if there is any error it will notify you and after installation, it will also notify you if something went wrong.
However, you may run sfc /scannow command to check whether your Windows files are corrupted or not.
You should run the comm and in command prompt as administrator.
In which Windows mode is
better to run this command?
Thanks

error writing to file: C:\Program
files\ i tunes\ i tunes.Resources\ja.lproj\AppleTVStream
itxib. Verify that you have access to that directory
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Since it seemed to help some folks that were having trouble downloading the NIS updates, I have also tried downloading the updates with (winhttp) Proxy authentication on and off.
I have also tried recreating the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder (Stop wuauserv; Rename folder; Start wuauserv; Folder recreated)
Still no luck. Any help or direction you can provide is much appreciated.
Cheers,
John

2. Expand Component Services, and then expand Computers.
3. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
4. Click the COM Security tab.
5. Under Access Permissions, click Edit Default.
6. Verify that the following accounts are listed:
7. If any one of these accounts is missing in the Access Permission box, follow these steps:
a. Click Add, click Advanced, and then click Locations.
b. In the Locations box, click the Local_Computer_Name, and then click OK.
c. Click Find Now.
d. Press CTRL, click the required account names, and then click OK two times.
e. In the Group or User names box, click an account that you added, click Local Access in the Permissions for Account_Name box, and then click to select the check box in the Allow column.
f. Repeat step 7e for all the accounts that you just added, and then click OK.
Step 2: Verify DCOM default properties
1. Click the Default Properties tab.
2. Verify that the following configuration:
• The Enable Distributed COM on this computer check box is selected.
• In the Default Authentication level box, Connect is selected.
• In the Default Impersonation level box, Identify is selected.

When I try to update firefox to the latest version, it comes up with a corrupt file error and won't install. Same for adobe flash player.

It seems that as of yesterday 05/10/13, anything that is downloaded will not install. Tried updating to the latest version of firefox, but that give the error of corrupt files.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
*browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

HT4623 i get a corrupt file error when trying to update to ios7 anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Trying to update my iphone and always getting corrupt file error any ideas how to fix it

If you're doing it over the air, try updating through iTunes.

HT3831 i tried to update my iphone 4 and i am getting a message that i am getting corrupt files or check settings on phone what do i check

i am trying to updating my system and when i do it says something about corrupt files or check phone settings does anyone know about this

If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?

Corrupt file downloading latest ios update

I tried downloading the latest ios7 for my ipad and iphone and am getting an error message for a corrupt file. same when I do the internet download for my iphone. Any ideas?

No, that is not normal at all. First try a reset and see if the update finishes. I have my doubts, but it will not hurt to try. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen again, then let go of the buttons.
IF that doesn't jog the update into completing, you will have to restore your iPad using iTunes and you will need to use recovery mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Frustration - Iphoto corrupting image files during import (?)

To begin with, I'm a recent convert from Windows to the Mac. I'm running a mac mini at home, and a Macbook with Boot Camp at work (in addition to my desktop pc). All of my software is up to date...
I take alot of pictures with my digital camera (canon powershot). Saturday I took about 300 pictures, took the SD card out of the camera, put it into my Sandisk card reader, imported the pictures into iphoto and everything worked great. I chose to not delete the pictures after the import as I wanted to bring the card into work and upload the pictures on my pc.
The next day (Sunday) I took another 70 or so pictures. I was able to view all of the pictures on my camera that I had taken over the past two days.
I go to do an import , taking the exact same procedures that I took on Saturday (and that I always do). The first thing it does is identifies that there are duplicate pictures. I choose the option of "don't import duplicates" and apply this to all of the other duplicate pictures.
At the end of the import, I got an error message saying that some of the files were corrupt. Now, there were pictures from Saturday that were still on there (and readable/viewable). However, every picture that I took on Sunday was "unreadable" and did not show up in iphoto. I put the card back into the camera, and now I can't view the pictures (they show as "corrupted data".
I then pulled the SD card details up in Finder, and the "corrupt" files still show sizes of 2.4mb to 2.8mb, consistant with the good pictures. It shows the file's "Kind" as JPG Image... I double clicked on them and Preview comes up saying something to the extent that the file is corrupt,
I've taken the Sandisk card reader, plugged it into my Macbook (using iphoto in osx) and was able to view one or two of the pictures from Sunday.
Once I got to work this morning, I plugged the sd card into my Windows machine and it too says the files are corrupt. It shows them being on the card, it shows the file sizes, but I can't open the pictures in anything...
If this was a one time deal, I'd be thinking it may be something I've done to cause the problem. However, this is the third instance I've "lost" all of my photos because of them becoming corrupt during an import into iphoto. There definately appears to be a pattern.
I have somewhere around 8,000 pictures inside iphoto that I've taken and had no problems with. I mention this to illustrate that I'm not doing anything differently than I've done before. I have another 14,000 on my old Dell that I need to move over, but I'm questioning if I should do that now.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Is anyone else experiencing (present or past tense) this problem? Where I'm new to the mac, I understand that I might be doing something wrong. However, I've imported photos to the software (what seems like) hundreds of times, the same way each time. This makes me want to rule out user error...
One other question, I'm saving the "corrupt files" with the hope that there's a software program which will "fix" the files. Do you happen to know of such a piece of software? I'm hoping that I can get them fixed at some point.
Where I'm taking pictures of my kids, its extremely frustrating to find out that the pictures (memories) I was hoping to make prints of are now "gone". Its almost like rolling the dice when doing a photo import any more. Most all of the time it takes, but every now and then the pics are lost...
I'm hoping to identify the problem (either user error, procedure or software issue) and fix it as I really like the mac.
Any help/suggestions you might have for me would greatly be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First: the corrupt files: download Graphic Coverter, a shareware which is often successful where other software isn't. But first, if the Mac will let you, copy the files off the card to the Mac.
I'm in this board a while now, and I can't recall an issue of iPhoto corrupting images on import. After all, it's just a simple file copy, at heart. I would be more inclined to suspect the card. DO you have more than one? Does the problem also occur with the other cards?
Try use Image Capture to download the pics to the Mac first, then import them, see does that help. Image Capture is in your Applications folder.
