Corrupt files - But are they?

I have a friend who has created a captivate project, this has been uploaded onto a unix server in which I have then downloaded onto my work laptop.
When I open the file on my work laptop it comes up with the Adobe Captivate corrupt message, however when I transfer the file onto a USB stick and move to another PC with captivate the file opens without any issues.
What could be the cause for this?? The big issue is the other laptop only has the trial version of captivate which has now expired so currently cannot view these "corrupt" files.

Hi ,
Do you have the same version of Captivate on your Laptop and other PC?
Though you always have the option to install it on any New machine and use the trial againfor 30 days.
On the work Laptop where you get the "Corrupt Message" ,Try --
File> Import > from External Library and Navigate to Source Location of your Project and try to open then.
See if that improves, if not can you share a Screen Shot of Exact Error? Any Additional Information?
Thanks,

Today, I randomly happened to have less than 1GB of hard drive space left. I found very large "frame" files, what are they?

I found very large "frame" files, what are they & can I delete them? (See screenshot). I'm a (17 today)-year-old film-maker and can't edit in FCP X anymore because I "don't have enough space". Every time I try to delete one, another identical file creates itself...
If that can help: I just upgraded to FCP 10.0.4 and every time I launch it it asks to convert my current projects (I know it would do it at least once) and I accept, but everytime I have to get it done AGAIN. My computer is slower than ever and I have a deadline this friday
I also just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4, and the problem hasn't been here for long, so it may be linked...
Please help me!

The first thing you should do is to back up your personal data. It is possible that your hard drive is failing. If you are using Time Machine, that part is already done.
Then, I think it would be easiest to reformat the drive and restore. If you ARE using Time Machine, you can start up from your Leopard installation disc. At the first Installer screen, go up to the menu bar, and from the Utilities menu, first select to run Disk Utility. Completely erase the internal drive using the Erase tab; make sure you have the internal DRIVE (not the volume) selected in the sidebar, and make sure you are NOT erasing your Time Machine drive by mistake. After erasing, quit Disk Utility, and select the command to restore from backup from the same Utilities menu. Using that Time Machine volume restore utility, you can restore it to a time and date immediately before you went on vacation, when things were working.
If you are not using Time Machine, you can erase and reinstall the OS (after you have backed up your personal data). After restarting from the new installation and installing all the updates using Software Update, you can restore your personal data from the backup you just made.

SFC - windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them

Hi,
Having run SFC on a Windows 7 laptop we get the warning:
windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them
Examination of the cbs.log shows the following two files causing this:
Cannot repair member file "DHCPQEC.DLL" of Microsoft-Windows-Dhcp-Nap-Enforcement-Client
Cannot repair member file "no_rl.cur" of Microsoft-Windows-Shell-acccursor
Any idea how to fix these?
Are either of these files important or can we just ignore these errors.
Thanks,
Nick

Every time I open iPhoto (as of today) after a few seconds the coloured wheel appears and the program become unresponsive. I have tried closing my computer. I assume I have a corrupt file but at the moment I cannot access anything in the program?

Every time I try to open Iphoto '11 (as of today) the coloured wheel appears after a few seconds and the program becomes unresponsive. I assume I have a corrupt file but I cant do anything including accessing help. I have tried closing down and restarting but it dosnt help. Any ideas please?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?

Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?

Hi!
I am also having issues with the device since updating to IOs 6. The time between clicking an icon, i.e. a picture, and the load of that picture takes longer enough to notice it. It did not happen before the update.
I am also having problems with some applications, specially the Facebook application. When I click on my picture in the right bar of the app, it promps a window that ask me for share my location, etc.. and get freeze there.
Regarding reseting the device, already done. It did not helped.
Also, SIRI is very nice, but sometimes it stop working and I have to re-start the device in order to being able to use SIRI again. When it happens, it looks like SIRI is sending the information, but does not do anything after.
It is understandable that they require some time to get the new IOs version working properly, but I dont like to be a Beta tester.

When I back up my musical files where are they stored?

I got a nano a couple of years ago and put all my albums on it (synced through i-tunes). I hadn't used my nano for a few months and when I went back to it my library seemed to have been replaced.......is it possible that my teenage son overwrote the nano?. Where are my files actually backed up - would it be on the laptop I used during the backup process (even though I was signed on to I-tunes at the time) or are they in fact backed up remotely through the I-tunes site.
It is all so confusing - and frustrating.
I searched for my song library on my Click-free back up device but it does not seem to have stored the songs.....just stored the link to I-tunes.
Could somebody direct me on how to solve my problem.
cheers

Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your nano as you did originally. Have you opened iTunes and clicked on Music to see if your music is still there?

.pk and .pkf files (aka peak files) - What are they?

Peak files - ones with .pk and .pkf extensions - are files that Audition creates upon first opening an audio file, and they contain information about the way it's displayed on the screen. After you've worked on a file, saving the peak data as well as the file means that the next time Audition opens it, it can do so a lot faster - simply because it doesn't have to create all that visual data again.
By default, Audition saves peak files automatically for wav files, but it can't create them for other types. The reason for this is that it doesn't need them for those file types, as they can't be opened natively in Audition anyway; they have to be decoded into wav files first.
The difference between older .pk files and newer .pkf files (the ones that Audition CS5.5 uses) is that the .pkf ones contain Floating Point data. This means that unlike .pk files, they can display information about files where the signal exceeds 0dB. This means that if you do a mixdown where the levels are rather hot, you can display the levels correctly in Edit View by zooming the vertical display out. If you replay the file at this level though, it will distort, so you still have to normalize your resulting file so that the peaks don't exceed 0dB before making, say, a CD from it, a 16-bit integer copy, or any sort of compressed file.
Because of this fundamental difference though, .pk files and .pkf files aren't interchangable. So a .pkf file created with Audition CS5.5 won't work with any previous version. What will happen if you open one of these files in, say Audition 3 is that a new .pk file will be created, and stored alongside the .pkf one. And similarly, a .pk file from a previous version will be ignored if an older file is opened in Audition CS5.5 - it will create a new .pkf file for it.
Both .pk and .pkf files are normally hidden file types, so you won't see them in your files folder unless you've set it to display hidden files. It doesn't matter in the slightest if one gets deleted accidentally - which ever version of Audition you are using will recreate the appropriate one automatically. The only difference you will notice is that it takes longer to open the file. Not much of a problem with a very short one, but if your file is an hour long, the difference is significant.

In the light of a few recent posts about this, I should also add that you shouldn't try to open .pk or .pkf files on their own. By default, the file extensions aren't associated with Audition as far as the OS is concerned - they don't need to be, because Audition will look for the peak file associated with a wav file when it opens it, and the OS doesn't get involved in the organisation of this. And, on top of that, Audition doesn't regard the mere existence of a .pk or .pkf file as an excuse for opening. Why should it? It knows that there's no audio in it!
So basically - You Can't Open .pk or .pkf Files.

Desktop null files - What are they?

I have recently starting getting a file in my home folder repeatly. The file name is
Desktop-1.(null)
and the next one will be the same, but 2, 3, etc. What are they? I throw them out and later more get created.
Thanks
I'm on OS X 10.8.2

I've had them too. They are PDF files that I downloaded from the internet (and perhaps they failed or something?). Anyway, check it out: change their extension from .(null) to .pdf and you'll be able to read them and decide what to do with them.

"exec" files; what are they?

When batch re-naming a folder, which I've done successfully millions of times, Bridge suddenly switched all the images to "exec" files (a grey icon with "exec" above in green), and they are unopenable. A whole session was ruined. Are they retrievable? Tom

"recovered"files. what are they?

I have 25,000 photos in a library. Also there are thousands of photos in a folder called "Recovered Folder" of which they show as ALBUMS. I have checked many of them, and they seem to be duplicates of the photos in PROJECTS. I have tried to find out what they are, and why they are present, but only find a relationship to Vaults, which I do not use.
a)what are they and where did they come from?
b) can I get rid f them withut loosing any of my photos?
Thank you
Asuch

a) A "recovered" folder is akind of "Lost & Found" place. When you repair an Aperure library, upgrade it, or rebuild it, Aperture will place there any items found in the Aperture library, that are no longer tied to versions in your projects.
b) That is hard to tell, without seeing your library. Frequently these items are just items that should have been trashed, but the Trash did not empty properly. Then you can trash them. But sometimes versions are losing there connection to the originals, but you may not notice it immediately, until you try to edit the version or to export it. And then you will need the recovered item. The safest cause of action would be to create a backup copy of your library as it is now. Then look at your recovered items and try to identify the original in its project, If you are sure, that you have a working copy of the recovered item, delete it.

Two questions; ejb tmp jar files what are they? and web deployment procedur

after the deployment of my ejb in the directory there are two files, tmp 4762 and tmp 4759 jar files. The deployment was successfull however i could not run niether the web nor the client modueles.
what are these tmp.... files?
could someone expalin this for me.
second.
I am a bit confused about the deployment of WAR files or web application for ejbs.
Well, in the tutoral there are not much ejb examples with web applications. the only example is the converter with one index.jsp. And there is the Duke banks.
In the converter as far as i understand to deploy the converter war file we only need to specify the context root
but when deploying the duk bank WAR file there a alot of stuff to be done alias, context parameter, url patterns and so on
would someone explain to me what are the main steps for a web application deployment?
i appreciate your assistance
thanks

what are these tmp.... files?These temp files are created by the App Server. Not sure why they are there...
would someone explain to me what are the main steps
for a web application deployment? Refer to your other post... I gave all the steps I can remember.

Carol.

$1.class files - what are they?

This is probably a really dumb question, but here
goes....
Having written an applet, I used the deployment wizard to create
a jar file, and moved this on to a web-server. When I open a
HTML document which attempts to call the applet, I get a
ClassNotFoundException, the class in question being my applet
class name, but with a "$1" suffix on the name. I noticed that a
file of this name has been created in my JDeveloper "myclasses"
directory, and has also been deployed in the jar file. Does
anyone know what this is for, and how to get round this
problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Rich

They are the files with the inner classes of main class, i
think..... if you have a "pp.java" with a inner class ( such a

"pp.class" and "pp$1.class", hope this helps...

Edge and Next are good for the corporations but are they good for the consumer?

Ok so I have never paid full price upfront for a phone! Ever since my first phone from VoiceStream I have opted for what ever phone was "free" because way back then (I blush as I type) I actually thought the phone was "free!!!" Ah, to be naive again!! But as we all know the phones never were nor will they ever be free.
However I say programs like Verizon's Edge and AT&T's Next are good for the corporation if they weren't they would not exist. The first reason I say this is because Edge and Next allow the cellular service provider to easily recoup the entire cost of the phone in a clear way unlike with subsidized phones that muddy the profit water. For example, the Verizon 64GB iPhone 5s retails for $849.99, currently with a two year contract you pay $399.99 for that 64GB iPhone 5s. The EFT for that phone is $350 (minus $10 per month of post paid service). If you on the 15th the day after you got your phone you paid the EFT but kept service you only paid $749.99 for that $849.99. Sure you still pay for service but you can leave when ever and Verizon cannot say hey you owe us $100 more for you phone. Its yours and they can't take it back and the only way Verizon will get that $100 back is though another customer that subsidized a much lower cost phone that at the completion of that contract Verizon will more than recoup the cost of that lower priced unit. To top that off you could turn around and sell the phone for $800 go back to Verizon or another provider buy a $450 phone and break even. I'm not suggesting that people do that or that it may prove to be a big hassle for some that went through all the trouble. Its just a point to show that subsidized phones make the profits less clear for the service provider to see at first glance.
Second reason these programs are good for the corporation is they allow the service providers to get a better grasp on the true cost of maintaining their networks and providing us the consumer access to their networks. Third reason it good for the corporation is the people that feel the need to upgrade every six months to a year are required to pay at least 50% of the retail cost of the phone at the same time they must surrender that device in exchange for the new device. So the service provider then has the phone refurbished certified to be in "like new condition" and sell it again potentially making more than retail cost when the profits of both sales of the same handset are factored together.
That being said what will the impact of programs like Edge and Next have on cost of future cellular service plans and smartphones? Over time will the service provider give us the best per line access fee (not likely but maybe)? Or will people upgrading their smartphones at faster intervals cause the cost of the smartphones to drop over time? What are your thoughts?

Recovered my deleted CR2 files but now they wont open,,,, HELP

Quick care detected 36,658 history and servaes trace from my computer, What are these files and are they all realy neccessary size was 171.09 MB?

Firefox/Mozilla -Internet(33831 items)
Firefox/Mozilla -History (2687 items)
How files were identified.
When these were removed I recovered 430MB of disck space.

Just an update... A rep contacted me and we did a screen share. They were convinced that I wasn't full of <insert proper word here>. They promised to get back to me in a few days, and now? A few months later? Nothing.
Still no files. Still no correction... Still no nothing from Adobe.
The person I spoke to was kind, saying he'd make sure I got CC for free for a while...
Still though, no follow up.
Adobe, are you going to correct this or just let your customer suffer at your mistakes?
