Corrupted jpeg files (which other apps read fine)

Hi, I'm running Lightroom on OS X. I imported several years of photos into it, and almost all were added to the Library just fine, but for two images (both JPEG files), Lightroom told me it can't read them because they're corrupt.
The thing is, these same images are viewable just fine in:
- Photoshop CS
- OS X Finder
- OS X Preview
- Picasa
- Windows Explorer
- anything else I've tried
Anyway I can find out why Lightroom thinks they're corrupt, and fix them so Lightroom can manage them?

Betty: I've retried at least 5 times, no luck. (I've seen a similar intermittent problem importing JPEG files which were not corrupt, directly from a flash card reader, and Lightroom only got about 60% of the files; I tried again and it got the rest. This problem is different though -- the files are already on my local hard drive, and no amount of retrying seems to help.)
John: Can you recommend any such tools? I'm willing to use whichever OS; I have Linux and Windows around as well. I tried a couple, but didn't turn up anything. I'm a fan of DataRescue (as a software developre, their IDA tool is really good) so I tried PhotoRescue, but it seems targetted specifically at recovering data from a corrupted flash card, and doesn't work on individual files at all.

    First try resetting your iPod.  Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on your computer.
    - Lastly. restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod since there may be corruption that is now in the backup.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files!

    I just cant understand this???
    Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files and some other file formats. PSD and PNG works.
    I have try with the latest iMac and the latest Mac Book Pro, both with Mavericks and Yosemite. Im saving to their internal hard drives. I can not open the corrupted photos on any application.

    Nobody else has had problems with the files saved by Photoshop.
    Are you sure you aren't just saving the wrong file extension on a different file type (i.e.: a PSD file with .jpeg on the end still isn't a JPEG file)?

    They gave me a brand new phone and I logged into all of my iCloud stuff, etc...
    When I try to go onto the Internet it will say its loading, loading, loading, then give up. Pandora has given up after one song. All other apps that need to connect to Internet or networks load and load and then give up. I will double tap the one button and close out all the apps and it may work for a second but no more. Then I will turn the phone off and the same thing happens.
    I have run out of ideas.

    The Problem is that it logs to the file (its not problematically) but also to the defaulttrace
    and thats not my preferred solution.

  • Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
    I will appreciate your assistance.

    Hi,
    Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?

  • Corrupt wav files in Adobe but play fine in other apps

    I have some old projects that have been backed up several times.  The problem is some of the sound files appear corrupt when I load them into Adobe Audition.  The sound plays all distorted with VERY LOUD clicks/pops in it.  However, I can play the same files just fine in any standard media player (Winamp, WMP, VLC player)
    I tried opening the project in the new Audition but same thing happens.  I've also tried the "Open As" option and specifying what windows reports as it's sample rate etc but it comes out the same.  Most of the other wav files in the projects work just fine, but one here and there is like this and is preventing me from remixing anything.  Worst case scenario I suppose I could play the file in winamp and record it but then I'd have to match the timing up and everything and I just don't have the motivation to do that on all these projects.
    http://home.comcast.net/~chicken3/Track17.zip
    This is one of the files if somebody wants to take a moment and look at it.  I just don't understand why winamp and all of them can play it fine if it was corrupt in any way, other than VLC which I know doesn't need file headers to play properly most of the time.
    Below is a pic of what the wave looks like in Audition.  Oh, and Reaper reads the files just fine as well, if I hadn't trimmed all my wav files down i'd just paste the whole project into Reaper and remix but unfortunately I trimmed all the files already.

    Well as I said it plays in standard media players such as Winamp (which generally will not play a file with a corrupt header or any sort of problem like that)  However I checked it out in that app you mentioned and the results seem normal to me.  I've tried Open As in Audition and I can choose the 44.1KHz and 32 bits but it opens the same as it did before.  So far I've only noticed 32 bit files with this problem but it's possible it has nothing to do with that.  Again, the file plays fine in all standard players, and Reaper and other audio apps open it just fine.  Audition will not.

    Edit: Downloaded goldwave trial just to see, it opens flawlessly in Goldwave.  I suppose I can try resaving the files from within goldwave and see what happens...Audition is really pissing me off.

  • How do I convert a JPEG file to an Adobe Reader (PDF) file?

    Please help me. I have scanned an image of a text in a book.  The scanned image is automatically uploaded into a JPEG file.  How do I convert this into a PDF file?

    None of the free Adobe Reader products provide the capability of converting image files (e.g. jpeg, gif, png) to PDF.
    You can either use
    Acrobat XI Pro or Standard - Scan to PDF
    Adobe PDF Pack (formerly known as CreatePDF): online subscription service - JPEG to PDF Converter
    You may find some free non-Adobe apps or online services.  But the quality of PDF output may vary.
    Unless you use OCR (Optical Character Recognition), the scanned image of text will not be recognized as real text.  So you will not be able to highlight text, for example.

  • "zip" Terminal command no help fixing corrupt zip file; any other workarounds?

    I downloaded a ".zip" file containing some files that I need to access.
    When I double-click on it, I get the "Unable to unarchive 'xyz.zip' into '[foldername].' ( Error 1 - Operation not permitted )" message, which many people report when they try to open a corrupt zip file.
    I also tried opening the file with "StuffIt Expander," "Archive Utility," and "The Unarchiver," as well as some specialty zip-compression programs, but none were successful.
    I then installed the very useful "Archive.qlgenerator" plugin (http://homepage.mac.com/xdd/software/archive/) which allowed me to at least see inside the zip file using OSX's "QuickLook" feature. Lo and behold, all the files that were supposed to be in the zip file are indeed in there, as they should be. The problem is not that the zip file is empty, the problem is that it has become corrupted somehow.
    So, what I need to do is either "fix" the corrupted zip file, or alternately find some way to extract the needed files using brute force.
    Following tips given on various forums, I tried using OSX's "zip" command in terminal (http://homepage.mac.com/kelleherk/iblog/C1901548470/E731143104/index.html and http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=132146). I was able to use it properly, but unfortunately neither the "-F" nor the "-FF" commands were of any helping in "fixing" the zip file. The "-F" command incorrectly said that the zip file was empty and that there was nothing to fix; the stronger "-FF" command came back with
    Could not find:
      xzy.z01
    Hit c      (change path to where this split file is)
        s      (skip this split)
        q      (abort archive - quit)
        e      (end this archive - no more splits)
        z      (look for .zip split - the last split)
    or ENTER  (try reading this split again):
    ...but none of the options produced any result. Pressing "z" gave me
    Could not find or open
      xyz.zip
    ...which means that even "-FF" could not get past whatever problem had corrupted the file.
    So: is there any built-in way for Mac OSX to fix or extract the contents of a zip file corrupted like this?
    Alternately, is there any third-party shareware or freeware that will do the trick?
    (I don't want to have to spend big $$$ on a commercial program since all I need to do is open a single zip file. And there is no way to contact the zip file's original creator, so I can't download an uncorrupted version.)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Mark:
    When I try your first suggestion in Terminal ("unzip -t /path/to/file"), I get this message:
    Archive:  /xyz.zip
      End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
      a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
      latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
      the last disk(s) of this archive.
    unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of /xyz.zip or
            /xyz.zip.zip, and cannot find /xyz.zip.ZIP, period.
    When I try your second suggestion ("unzip -l /path/to/file"), I get the exact same error message. (And yes, I am fixing "/path/to/file" to be the correct path to the actual file).
    And no, it is not really part of a multi-part archive. (Or at least it wasn't supposed to be; only one zip file is available, and there was only supposed to one.) Perhaps the zip was mis-encoded in the first place, so that the person who created it accidentally did something wrong which the unzip applications are interpreting as this file being part of a multi-part archive; but even so, all I have is this one file, so I need to fix it as is, or extract its contents as is, since I have no way to contact the original creator to do it right this time.

  • HT4101 downloading only JPEG files using SD card reader

    I am new to Apple-iPad world,, mostly working on WinXP.
    I am looking to buy a tablet to view photos while I'm on vacation and traveling. I shoot both RAW and JPEG files of each image. When I connect my SD card to an iPad Mini, I'd like to be able to download only the JPEG files, since the RAW files are too large and would quickly fill up my device.
    I've been told that when you plug in the Apple SD card reader, it treats the RAW and JPEG files of an image as one, so when you download you have no choice to just select the JPEGs. Seems like a huge oversight on Apple's part, to offer camera and card connection, but then be so controlling about it, that it doesn't work for people. None of the 3-4 Apple sales reps I've spoken to know of a way around this.
    At this point, I'm lookng at an Android tablet instead, since it doesn't have this limiting feature--though I much prefer the look and size of the iPad Mini screen.  .
    Has anyone else run into this issue? Any thoughts on a work-around?
    (Two solutions that I've thought of--though I don't know if they will work--are: 1) download all of the images, then bring them up in a program like Snapseed, where I can save (really a 'save as') a new JPEG version of my image, then delete the original files that I downloaded, or 2) see if I can download a file manager app that would let me view the different files by size and by type (to identify the RAW files), then delete just these from me iPad)  
    Best, David.

    Thanks Tom, at last an answer!
    So it seems I would need to first download the image files to my tablet--including RAW files--(or whatever the constraits are in working with the Apple SD card reader), and then after the fact, use PMP to delete just the RAW files.
    I assume then that PMP can view the 'standard' photo folders (called 'Albums on my iPod) created by the Apple photo app (or by the iOS, I'm not sure), is that correct?
    This might be an acceptable work-around for me.
    Best, David.  

  • Corrupted JPEG Files

    Apologies, I may have chosen the wrong category.
    I've been trying to find a software recommended to sort out a corruption pb with JPEG files that I have recovered following a hard drive crash.
    What would the Mac community recommend to optimise my chances to read these files ?

    Here's an old site that might prove interesting

  • Can't send single-page PDF files to other apps

    When someone emails me a PDF with multiple pages, the files appears as an attachment in the email and I have to click on it to view it.  Once I click on it, I am taken to a full screen view of the PDF and I can scroll to see the other pages.  When I tap the screen, the square with an arrow point up appears in the upper right corner.  When I touch the square with the arrow, I am given the option to send the PDF to Messages, Mail, etc.  I also have a app on my iPad called PDF Expert and I can send it to this app as well.  PDF expert lets me draw on the PDF so I can sign documents. 
    So here's the problem.  When a single-page PDF is sent to me, it appears in-line, in the email body itself.  It does not appear as an attachment.  When I click on it, instead of it taking it to another page where I can view it full screen, it gives me the option to Select or Copy.  This doesn't help me at all.  I have had this problem with images showing up inline in the email body as well. 
    Being able to see the attachment inline is a nice idea, but there absolutely needs to be a way to send it to another page to be viewed full screen and to give the option to send it to other apps.

    I have been having the same problem... Here is how I solved it.
    I removed all graphics from my automatic email signature line and then it worked!!!! For some reason, the ipad mail app cant handle a graphic signature block and an attachment.
    Good Luck!
