Corrupted Files in Some Folders?

All of a sudden, many of the files on my directory are corrupted (?). When I open them I get a error message. For example, attempting to open a JPEG in preview gives...
The file "DSC00399.JPG" could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
The file size appears to be unchanged, so that data is all there unless it is scrambled for some reason? It appears to by folder (some folders are fine and some have all bad files).
I have a lot of it backed up. But there are files I need to try and save is possible.

How much free space do you have on your hard drive?

Bridge - can't delete files in some folders

I just installed CS3 on my new PC. My problem is that in SOME (but not all) folders when I hit delete to get rid of some files it just totally ignores the command - it's not rejecting it - i've tried ALT+ delete and even the dustin icon at the top right hand side. NOTHING - it's as if i haven't pressed anything.
then i've opened other folders (on the same drive) and the delete works like a dream. around half the folders on my drive have 'deletable' files and half are completely stuck. I copied one folder onto a different drive and from there i am able to deletes files from it.
any ideas what is going on????????????????
thanks
desperate in London!

Thanks curt young, that was the ticket.
I'm running Vista 64 with 8GB of memory, quad core, because it's noticeably faster than XP. I too am always in Administrator mode.
But...I had the "permissions" message too, right clicking on the icon, going into Properties, then clicking on Compatibility tab, then checking the "Run this program as an administrator" box solved the problem instantly on next program load.
Vista...what a concept. For that matter, Bridge, what a concept. As in, great concept, when are you guys at Adobe going to fix all the bugs in this useful but klugey program?
But at least it's working for now after the fix, thanks again curt.
How stupid is it for a program or an OS to require that, even though you're logged in as Admin, you have to tell the program to run in Admin? Just lame as all heck. ;-) Don't mind me, I'm in a rant mood this morning.

How to dump corrupted files/folders

mac os x 10.5.8 2.6 ghz 2 gb. When normal tasks were not functioning correctly, I used to call applecare. They would have me go through some steps and dump some files or folders and then restart the computer. After this, everything would work great. I cannot find my notes on doing this procedure. Applecare said that since I did not use virus protection, some folders get corrupted and when we trash them, new ones are created. I need to do this again since the computer is not working correctly.
Syptoms like
email typing problems in safari
slow actions of the cursor- slow to highlight items when cursor rolls over them
slow startup
Hope for help
Thank you

Whatever the problem is, it's not remotely related to not using virus protection. Using anti-virus software does not protect you against such issues. I'm not sure what that particular AppleCare rep was smoking when he told you that!
It's difficult to say what the problem might be without more information. What I would recommend doing first is ensure that you have a good set of up-to-date backups. You need to protect your data, in case whatever is going wrong damages it.
Once you have done that, try to see if any of the things in my Mac Performance Guide help you at all. If they don't, let us know exactly what you tried and what the results were.

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

Odd Error with Fireworks not seeing some folders or files

I have just updated to OS X 10.5.1 running on a Mac Pro 2x
2.66Ghz dual-core Intel Xeon with 5gb of memory.
I have been using CS3 for some time now on OS X 10.4 with no
problems. After the upgrade I now can't see some folders and files
via Fireworks. Even files I have just worked on in Fireworks and
saved to a folder. I then try and re-open them by looking in the
folder I just saved the file to but it's not there. If I look with
Finder or any other Adobe program I can see it without any
problems.
Has anyone come across this problem before?

I am an absolute newcomer to Lightroom. I have downloaded images from camera (OMD EM1) and divided them into folders. Some folders work ok in Develop mode. With other folders I get the words "This file could not be found". What should I do

As an absolute newcomer to Lightroom 5 I have downloaded images direct from camera (IOlympus EM-1) and divided them into folders. When I go into Develop mode, some folders can be developed ok , but with images from two other folders I get the message "This file could not be found". What should I do?

may i suggest opening the files in Olymous Viewer 3 and exporting them (you can do some editing there if you wish or not) asTIFF files. After that you can import the new files into LR. LR seems to like tiiff more than .orf files
The advantage to using OV3 is that it seems to do a much better job converting RAW EM1 files. Colors are more accurate ( my red flower pot turned orange when loaded directly into lightroom)
. The tiff files just LOOK better in LR after the conversion . there is a youtube on this subject and when i tried it myself i was impressed

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

Why cant I delete some Folders / Files transfered from external HD? to!

I am trying to figure out why I cant delete some folders / files, that I transfered from an external HD to my Macbook!
Some of these folder / files are text, video, and pic's based. Surely, going through those video / pics / text files, those I dont need anymore I would like to delete. Some of these appear to be deleted (in trash). But few days later I do realize, that they were not delete, or only few of the deleted files were properly deleted!
Why is this, this way - and how can I solve this issues! I just want to delete stuff either in form of folders or files, that I dont need anymore!

How are you trying to transfer them? What kind of external device?

Finder hides some Windows files (all files in particular folders)

I have recently noticed that some folders on a Windows server over the network dont show the files in that folder. Even some folders that I create using my Mac (OSX 10.5.1) suddenly disappear the next time i go to look in that folder. But if i look at that same folder through Windows, the files are all there.
I cant understand what could be causing this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Robert

Thanks i have installed the update and as far as i can tell the issue has been resolved!

SFC results show some corrupt files not removed/rectified

I have checked with System File Checker - SFC and the report states that Windows resource protection found some corrupt files in the system but could not be rectified or removed by it. How to resolve this issue. I have uploaded Event Viewer
report and named it evwr and sent this compressed file to Skype. Kindly help me to resolve/rectify this problem. Thanks. Vaidyanathan

Hi, Vaidyanathan
I suggest you follow these steps to solve this problem:
1. Run “chkdsk/r” to check whether the hard drive has bad sectors and repair it.
2. Sometimes you may need to try several times to run “sfc
/scannow”. If it does not work, you can try to run “sfc
/scannow” command at boot , the files may be locked sometimes.
3. You can also try to manually fix the corrupted file:
Here is a link for reference :
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/929833?wa=wsignin1.0
4.If the problem still exits ,please upload the log to OneDrive and paste the download link for further analysis.

5.You can also choose to return system to a previous state at which your system is functioning fine with restore point. (please note that you will lose some recent settings )

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,

I have some corrupted files on my OS9.2. hard drive that won't delete.

My computer is in three sections, the OS X is fine, but both OS9.2 drives are causing me trouble. The additonal OS9.2 drive is purely for music, but originally my audiophile card 2496 was installed on both drives. I had a problem with the sound on the small drive so I uninstalled everything and then reinstalled it all. The music records alright now, but when I close Cubasis it freezes on the small drive . When uninstalling all the music I found I couldn't delete all the audiophile card files that were on the main hard drive - they were in an invisible file marked usr (that is the spelling used) and the rest of the path was greyed out. I tried to delete them straight from Sherlock but to no avail. I am wondering now whether to reinstall the OS9.2 system on both hard drives but need to ask a few basic questions. When I do this will this fix the 'corrupted files' that are already there or will this cause more trouble. Will I lose all the work that I have already done on these files or should I make sure and do a back-up onto DVD just in case. How does one reinstall the Operating System? I have the disc but just not sure what to do as I haven't done it before. Will these corrupted files do more damage to the computer if I just leave well alone - it is a nuisance restarting the computer every time I use Cubasis but I would sooner do that than get into more of a muddle than I am in at the present.

Hi, peckerpac -
If I deep-wipe the drive what exactly does that mean?
That means the drive is effectively stripped of all data, including the removal of the disk directories. A file (or folder) that refuses to be trashable indicates there is probably damage to the directory. DiskWarrior usually can fix that; apparently not in this case.
Once the drive has been stripped, the initialization process creates a new structure on the drive so that it is usable for data storage, including new directories.
When you say I can't deep-wipe a partition, do you mean that the whole Hard Drive OSX as well will be deep wiped, or does it mean that only the OS9 part that needs it will be wiped?
A hard drive that has been partitioned has had its disk subdivided into two or more volumes. For most things the Mac will treat each volume as if it were a separate hard drive - each volume will have its own icon on the desktop; files can be copied from one volume to another; if each has an OS, each will appear individually in Startup disk control panel and in Startup Manager; etc.
However, although the Mac treats each partition as if it were a separate drive, they aren't - they are still part of the same physical drive.
A single partiton can be erased, for example by using the Erase function in the Special menu in OS 9. Unfortunately all that an Erase does is to delete entries in the disk directory - none of the data is actually removed, including the directories themselves.
A deep-wipe of the drive is part of a broader initialization of the drive; this affects the entire drive, meaning all partitions of the drive will be wiped of all data.
Will I lose everything when I deep wipe the drive?
Everything that is on that drive, on all partitions of that particular drive, yes.
As Grant noted, the Big System Morsels error usually indicates a problem with the machine being able to read the CD properly. Often that can be fixed by cleaning the CD. A Mac's optical drive is far less tolerant of smudges (fingerprints, etc.) on a data disk (such as an install CD) than it is with such on an audio disk.

External hard drive, error -36, corrupt files and slow transfer speeds

This is a long post but stay with me.
I've got an external 250GB Lacie drive connected to my 24" Intel iMac via Firewire 800. I have approximately 80GB worth of files (including my iPhoto library) on the Lacie that I'm trying to move over to my iMac but have run into some frustrating problems.
Overall, transfer speeds are erratic – fine at times and SUPER SLOW (5 minutes to transfer a 3MB file) at other times. At first I was transferring entire folders, but after always getting errors (error -36 to be exact), I was having to transfer individual files. This works fine as long as the files aren't too big (which makes the transfer speeds SUPER SLOW) and not corrupt (which gets me an error -36). Is my Lacie crashing on me? Is there any hope?
Here's what I've done to try and salvage my sanity with no resolve to my problems (not exactly in this order):
1) Ran Disk Utility to repair Lacie. Everything came back OK
2) Ran Disk Warrior on Lacie. Found a handful of bad items that Disk Warrior was able to repair. Had Disk Warrior replace the old directory of the Lacie with the new directory.
3) Ran Drive Genius: Raired and Rebuilt the directory, did an Integrity Check (came back OK), attempted to Defrag but could not because of errors to the drive, did a Scan for bad blocks (which after running for 3 days! it was only 20% complete and had found over 150 bad blocks, at which point I quit to try something else)
4) Checked that my Firewire cable was properly connected and replaced the older one I was using with a brand new one.
5) Disconnected all peripherals except for keyboard, mouse and Lacie.
6) And at times, even viewing a file on the Lacie has caused my Finder to crash, requiring a restart of my iMac.
I'm sure I've left something off I've tried but you get the idea.
I've read that maybe I can transfer my files using Terminal. Yes/No? Does this bypass any corruption the files may have?
What about creating a second partition on the Lacie and moving files over to the second partition? Does this solve anything? I don't know anything about partitioning so maybe I'm talking crazy.
I've also read that iPhoto tends to corrupt files which makes me hate iPhoto, and myself for not backing up.
And I've read a lot about error -36's and none of it sounds good so I'm just hoping that someone might have other suggestions for me to try and save my files (especially my iPhoto files which include baby pictures that if I lose, my wife will kill me).
So if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Please. I'll try anything.

Hi Aaron Thompson-
I am fairly certain you have a bad power supply brick to the LaCie drive. This is a hard problem to troubleshoot as generally when the bricks go bad they do so slowly and the drive appears to power up and stuff but it just doesn't work.
If the drive is under warranty LaCie will replace the brick at no charge. Otherwise they sell them for around $20US on their website.
Luck-
