Corrupt File Names on NAS

I have 4 networked G4s running variously 10.4.6 to 10.4.10. Also on the network is an Iomega NAS. When viewed from 2 of the G4s all the file names on the NAS are normal whereas from the other two some of the file names are corrupt. Setting up a new user account resolves the problem so it is obviously something to do with the user account. I have tried Archive and Install and Re-building Permissions. Trashing the Users com.apple.finer.plist temporarily resolved the problem but it re-appeared on re-start. It doesn't appear to be OS Version related as I updated one of the offending Macs from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 and this had no effect.

Hi Graham,
I updated one of the offending Macs from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 and this had no effect.
Was that an Archive & Install also? Might need to do a Fresh Install with a Zeroing of the HD.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Corrupted file names in "iTunes Music Library.xml"

I have 7,500 songs in my library (iTunes 7.3.2). All the MP3s live on an external hard drive. Yesterday I tried to sync to my iPod and I noticed hundreds of 'file couldn't be found' errors. I checked in iTunes and loads of songs wouldn't play when I double-clicked on them -- they didn't have they error icon (which normally appears for missing files), they just wouldn't play.
After checking the .xml file, I noticed that hundreds of the file names been modified to point to weird files as follows:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Applications/Utilities/Disk%20Utility.app/Contents/Resources/ru .lproj/DiskSizes.plist</string>
It looks like Disk Utility has somehow corrupted the filenames.
Does anyone have any idea how I can work around this problem? I really don't want to re-import my music as I'll lose thousands of ratings which have taken years to add!!!
The only option I can see is that I manually go through all of the file names and correct them by hand. This is going to take WEEKS!!!
I'd really appreciate some help here. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm having the exact same problem, but I know nothing of ruby scripts. I've exhausted my resources with tech support, and after literally hours of work with them it seems I now am faced with either re-rating each individual song, or pointing iTunes to each song that it can't locate. Is yours a solution that could help me? How can I find out more about Ruby Scripts? Thanks for your help, hellolylo (or anyone else who might also be able to help...)

Corrupt File names & missing icons

I have three networked macs. 2 running 10.5.2 and one running 10.4.11. All of them access a LACIE network drive. The leopard macs show some folders with corrupt names. The tiger mac has no problem. The leopard macs have many files showing the gray missing icon. The 10.4.11 mac again shows all icons. This appeared to happen with the update from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2.

did you find a solution? am having same problem with leopard 'converting' all file names with symbols [*/ etc] to strange new names. the macs with 10.4 still see names as they should be. any tips?
thanks

Mac corrupts file names on Windows network

I am using my MacBook with Tiger on a Windows peer-to-peer network. Works fine, except occasionally files names that I access on one of the Windows machines will become confused. It's occurrence seems random to me; I think it only happens when I save changes, though. So, for instance, the file OnlineAccountInformation.xls would become OnlineAcco%32hg.xls. Any idea what might be causing this? I had the same problem with Panther.

well ther eis a 32 char limit for a file name .and an 80-something limit for the total path i think. Usually though i get an error message that just says so much or simply that an erro occured and the file couldnt be saved. Also if you have a super long name that youve saved on the windows machine youll usually get the DOS name of the file when browsing from a mac.

File names corrupting over SMB

Hi,
I have a 10.4.10 server sharing files over SMB but any files with punctuation in them ( . / @ ) corrupt when viewed from a Client machine - looking at the original files on the server itself shows no problem.
I am unable to use AFP to share these files due to Permissions issues with Office 2004 docs where AFP allows simultaneous full read & write access to two or more Users.
Is there a way to prevent this file name corruption other than renaming all the relevant files by hand?
Thanks,
Paul.

File name and Version name corruption

In a section of my library, if I click on a thumbnail, it opens with a different photo than the thumbnail and the thumbnail then changes to this other photo. The Metadata indicates that the file name is referencing the surprise photo and the version is referencing the original photo. Since all my files are referenced, if I Show in the Finder, the reference is to the surprise photo. This appears to be just in my 2006 year folder of photos (3500) but seems to have occurred randomly throughout that year. It is really a mess.
fyi, my photos are organized with folders for each year and then projects and subfolders for the various events. Total library is about 65,000 photos. All are referenced.
Any clue as to what is happening and how to correct it would be appreciated.
thanks, gib

My masters are on a Drobo drive that is only 1/2 full. I talked with Apple today but the support person was not able to determine the issue. He thought the Drobo could be an issue, although his experience was more with slower response time. (I am very pleased with the Drobo.) He suggested that I trash the offending projects, setup new ones and re-import the masters. Ok but lose metadata and adjustments but may be the next step to take.

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Olaf:
Thanks for your reply. Sorry, my bad. I inadvertently copied wrong [name] form the msdb.dbo.backupset. On 3/13 and 3/14, the two file names did not match. In trying to select another example to show you this morning, I found that the names are now matching!
What I was doing was to create dynamic t-sql to retrieve the latest prod backup of the database, and then restore it with move to the development server. This is an ad-hoc job that the developers can run by themselves whenever they require a refresh. Unfortunately,
we only keep 3 days worth of backups for these databases, so the original disk file I was trying to use to restore no longer exists. Researching the original error, one of the error descriptions was that the restore could not find the file requested.
I thought this very strange since I get the file name directly from the backupset table. Further research did indeed show that the file names were different, but unfortunately, I failed to save the details of the file names. Anyway, in looking for a new example
to show you this morning, I have found that the file names are indeed matching exactly again. If this error pops up again, I will be sure to save all details and re-post.
Thanks, regards and best wishes to you and yours,

Computer shuts on and off some corrupted files - no virues now

Listed below are some of the errors I found on event log in the laptop:
I have a Qosimo 8 megs of memory, windows 7 64 bit. Running AVAST 7.0 antivirus and Malwarebytes - both paid subscriptions. I think the model number is 830 530 I bought in 2009.
The shutdown problem has
been happening on and off for the last six months. I had two major instances of trojans taking over my machine and it caused constant shutdowns. AVAST worked with me on one and they had me use malwarebytes and spybot and hijack this. They took over my computer to get it up and running properly, but this new round of errors a trojan was found in the registry key and the startuptoolbar. Two nights ago I had another shut down several times and after running malwarebytes and antivirus I could find no errors so I’m leaning toward corrupted files? Is there anyway to fix these files without having to reformat the hard drive?
I did run a computer repair and a computer memory repair tonight using F8 and no problems were found by the computer. I’m not sure what to do with these errors in event viewer.. I get the toshiba error
quite often and it madely stops me from going online with my internet connection, and I had downloaded a newer version but same problem – I use windows repair in network and the error is always resetting the toshiba network IP. I just put a note into toshiba on that problem.
I also use microsoft silverlight for my fenderfuse application which needs that software operate properly. I’m not sure exactly what to do with that Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. It states to check libraries – but what am I checking for? I do not have a lot of programs on the laptop but not sure what to look for in library?

Sometimes my computer shuts down often on its own and I find a Trojan - other times it shuts down often during a start up and I find no viruses as was the case yesterday. Today I did not get on the internet and the computer worked fine.
I guess I need to know if there is a way to reinstall the corrupted files without having to go back to the default settings when I got the computer. Does toshiba have a windows repair disc that works better then what I did with using F8 and having a system repair and memory check done that found no errors? I also installed the latest Toshiba service station and it did not fix the error problems in events log. When I did a restore it was before this was added so now my computer is working properly with windows on connecting to the internet wireless.
Malwarebytes said that by looking at these event viewer logs that it does not appear that I have a virus now but I do have corrupted files and can toshiba help me in getting them fixed. I really hate to do a complete reformat.
Thanks

Corrupted file unable to remove from trash because it is running. Unable to shut it down.

I had recently converted some video tapes into dvds as well as disks that I could download onto the computer. I did not realize that I installed a dvd into the drive instead of the downloadable disk when I asked the computer to download the files. Instead of not performing the task, the computer partially download the dvd. Now I have this file on my desktop and when I put it into trash I can't remove it from trash because it is running. In other words there is a corrupted file that I have no way of stopping or deleting. Any suggestions? I could leave this file alone but since it is running I'm not sure how much memory it is diverting.

What is the name of the file? If you open Activity Monitor, set to All Processes, then is it displayed in the Name list?
Restarting kills all running processes. If this is not a system file, then you have it installed somewhere that is launching it automatically upon startup. You should look in your /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/ folder or your /Library/LaunchAgents/ or /Library/LaunchDaemons/ folder for a file related to this one. Until you kill that one you will not be able to delete the one are having trouble deleting.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:

Press the Go button.

Error message: "Can't open file "[File path, file name].key"

If I attempt to open any Keynote files, I now get this error message.
"Can't open file "[File path: file name].key"
To clarify, the text in the square brackets above would be the file path and then the file name.
The file then will appear on the screen, but is unresponsive to any clicks or menu commands.
The files will open successfully on other Macs, so they aren't corrupt.
Also - I've just checked, and opening Keynote and trying to create a new presentation leads to the same problem: All screen menus / buttons are dead - all I can do is drag the window around the screen.
I've tried to reinstall Keynote, but this hasn't resolved the problem.
Is there some corrupt preference file (or similar) that I need to get rid of? Is there an easy way to do a complete uninstall of Keynote so I can try another install? Or is this a symptom of something else?
All ideas gratefully appreciated!

All the issues I describe in my questions around this time re: Keynote were actually symptoms of a soon-to-die laptop. The Hard Disc was corrupting, and Keynote was the first application to be affected.

How do I change a photo file name, e.g. DSC001, etc.?

When I either import or download digital images into IPhoto, I need to change the filename in some instances. Using the Information feature in IPhoto, I give the photo a name or identifier and add other information. However, when I then burn the photo to a CD, the original filename, e.g. DSC001, etc. shows up. How can I change it?

Aaron Marquez wrote:
This isn't true.
Select the photo, then Press Command + I or go to View > Info and double click the photo filename to rename it.
Best,
Aaron
That does NOT change the file name and does not help (Unless you use the option to use the title for the file name during export) - You can not change the file name while the photo is in iPhoto (unless you do so using the finder awhick will corrupt your library and cause data loss)

Can´t edit or trash files on my NAS – (Error code -36)

I have all my files on a NAS. I have got a problem - I can´t trash any of the files via finder (tried Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.5). When I try I get this message: "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “FILENAME” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)"
I can change name on files, I can open, but not edit. I can put new files on the share and make copies, but can´t trash och edit files. I have searched for a solution but haven´t found anything that works.
I can via the nas own Web file Manager trash files but not from finder.
If I open an rtf-file, it says that it is locked in the titlearea, but its not locked if I shows "info" on that file in finder.
I can download any file of the nas to edit in the mac but not as long as it´s on the nas-share...
Please help... I´m geeting desperate...

Update:
I have found what makes the problem appear, If I configure the Qnap to not "Enable Network Recycle Bin", then everything works, but when activated same problem. I have tried everything with access rights, but nothing solves the problem when Network Recycle Bin is activated. This is strange because before I reformated the drive to begin from scratch this worked…
Update 2: A new firmware 3.6.0 was released today - Installed it and it fixed the problem!

Corrupted files with Keynote 08

Hi,
I will try to be as clear as possible because the problem I have is potentially dangerous for any Keynote user. I have been a Keynote user for many years now and I use it systematically to make conferences and conventions. It's really fun to work with that software. But a problem has recently occured with the latest version.
Like many independant workers, I use to work at my office and later at home. So I backup my files on a portable HD to finish them later. I use a backup program that saves that perfectly
Many days ago, I wanted to reopen a keynote file at home when I realized that there was something wrong. When the file opened, it showed me the state of the file BEFORE the backup. First I thought I had forgotten to do the backup. But when I got back on the Finder, I saw that Quick Look showed me the most recent version of the file. More, with a right click on the file I opened the package and I saw all the images embeded in my keynote presentation. So I returned to Keynote and noticed somrthing really weird : the thumbnails show the right of the slides, but the slides themselves are wrong. I had no choice but to make the slides again and finally thought I had done something wrong. But the same thing occured today. And I am sure the backup has been done correctly.
I have tried to save the document as another name to see what happens. When I do so the file is saved without the embeded images that were previously in the package. To resume, if your right file weighed 80 Mo with 50 Mo of images, when you save your corrupted file, it only weighs 30 Mo.
There has been problems with Keynote in the past. Some images were "lost" after a backup but were present in the package. But this is REALLY a problem because you simply lose your work.
i f any of you has an answer I would appreciate. And I hope I made myself clear, because even in French, it would have been hard to explain correctly.

I have today encountered a problem opening old Keynote presentations on my new iMac running Leopard. It cannot open any of the old presentations on my machine because it says they are damaged.
I also could not open an old Pages file because it says the file is corrupt and there was a .xml missing. I later managed to open this by searching for it directly through the application "Open" command and following the search path. It then gave the usual " This was created by a previous version of Pages..." and the Save as warning, but it did open when I went this route. (I have now saved this document as Pages 08 and all is well).
There seems to be a bug in the iWork '08 suite when it comes to older documents.
