Corrupted Lightroom 4 File

Hello
I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 4 from the App store to my Macbook last year.  However, there is now an error with the file and I get a message saying to delete the file and re-downoad it from the app store.  However, when I do this, Lightroom 4 is nolonger available on the app store, and I get anerror message when I try to update the file.  Do I need to purchase this program again???  I sure hope not.  Please get back to me with some support.
Thanks a lot.

Jacklyne, this is a user to user forum not Adobe Help.
I'm not sure about how App Store purchases work as I have no experience with that. However do you have the serial number?

  • Lightroom corrupting RAW files? Hardware issue?

    I've started having some issues with RAW files being corrupted when I open them in Lightroom. I've done a lot to troubleshoot and narrow down the symptoms, and here is what I can tell you. If anyone has any ideas for how to solve this, I'd really appreciate it!
    Equipment
    Canon 7D, 1 32GB CF card, 1 4GB CF card
    Lenovo Laptop, Win 8; Lightroom 4
    Dell PC, Win7, Lightroom 5
    Here's what the corruption looks like in my Library view. Note that all of the photos are the same. I just rapid-fired a bunch of shots down the hallway to test this out.
    I first noticed the corruption on the PC, pulling photos from the 32GB card. I bought a new hard drive (SSD hybrid), installed a clean version of Windows 7, and upgraded to Lightroom 5, then the 5.3 update. I re-downloaded some photos from the 32GB card, and they still show up corrupted. So here is my further testing:
    I shot a series of photos like shown above on the 32GB card, downloaded them on the laptop with a new USB cable. The photos look good.
    I shot a series of photos on the 4GB card, downloaded them to the laptop with the same cord, they look good.
    I imported the same photos photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC with my existing Lighrtoom Catalog and they are corrupted.
    I created a new Lightroom Catalog on the PC and downloaded the same photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC and they are corrupted.
    So what gives? I think we can rule out corruption or issues on the hard drive, the OS, the USB cable, and both of the CF cards. It baffles me that a new HD, clean OS install, new catalog, new USB cable, and upgraded Lightroom haven't solved the problem. Is it possible that there is some other part of the hardware on my PC which is corrupting the files?
    I'd love some insight if folks have any ideas!
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Was this ever figured out AdamCohn?  I have a very similar issue.  I have actually watched two photos over the last two days become corrupt while viewing them in Lightroom.  I am not suggesting LR is the cause (as I know this is almost always hardware related) but it has happened right in front of my eyes while LR is interacting with the images (I believe).
    Scenario:
    Images were
    * Imported into LR on different days (about a week apart)
    * Imported to different hard drives during import (one an SSD, another to a typical HDD)
    * Behaving normally in LR until corruption (i.e. previews were built without issue, was able to develop and export images. Showed fine in Finder).
    After viewing the images in Loupe view and watching them flip instantly to a visual mis-mash similar to what you showed the images were permanently screwed.  The appear the same way in Finder and in Photoshop
    I have not noticed any other issues in any other app or area of the system.  Everying seems to be running smoothly.
    Troubleshooting:
    * Memory tests:
      - Built-in Apple memory test (normal + extended).
      - MemTest (as described here: MemTest for Mac OS X Tests your RAM). Ran it twice, all tests passed.
    * I am running some HDD checks now, but with the two images being on two different drives I suspect the likelihood of this being a drive issue is extremely small.
    Suggestions?

  • Corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5.

    I'm having an issue with corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5. I have all of my RAW files stored on an external NAS system. Typically, I mainly work on my files on my PC's hard drive. The NAS is for storage only. However, in the past I have looked through the external files with Adobe Camera RAW and have called up files from there to work on, if it's a photo I want to rework. Recently I have started using Lightroom 5. So the other day, I added a folder from the NAS external to Lightroom 5 to look at some of the RAW files. A LOT of the files looked corrupt with white blocks and pink or yellow lines running across the photo. I closed lightroom and pulled up those same files in Adobe RAW and get the same issue. I copied them to my PC's hard drive and still have the issue. This has never happened until using Lightroom. I know Lightroom is not supposed to actually do anything to the files, however, this is very coincidental. Did Lightroom do something to these images, or was it coincidence that the files became corrupt at the same time I started using Lightroom? Any solutions?

    I am wondering about the drive. I know that it is not the CF card and it wasn't a reader for the following reasons. I download directly from the camera to the PC without a reader. I downloaded these last July and worked on them on and off for several weeks without issue. I have also pulled up the occasional file from this same batch a couple times this winter without issue. It was only when I pulled them up yesterday in Lightroom that this problem occurred.

  • Corrupted tif files

    Hi All,
    I was working on a big tif file 2g at size, I edit it with photoshop through adobe lightroom. Due to unknown reason, when i tried to save the file in photoshop, and I was informed the file is non-accessible. It ends up the file is disappeared from hardisk and I used some recovery software to retrieve the tif files. However, it seems a corrupted tif files which can't open in Photoshop or Irfanview.
    the error message I got from photoshop is 'could not complete your request, because it is not the right kind of file'.. it is a tif file with layers.
    I had tried to google and search, it seems there is no way to repair a corrupted tif files.
    Do I have a chance to restore it using any method?
    thank you.

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss of data.
    Generally speaking, lost image data is usually really lost, especially if any recovered files you've identified to possibly contain your images are not opening in the ways you've tried...
    Just basic stuff you've probably already thought of:
    Have you made sure to rename files you're hoping to be TIFFs with the .tif file extension?
    Did you File - Save As your file anywhere else?
    Did you do a system backup that might have saved an earlier copy of the file to external media?

  • Corrupt Lightroom 2

    Hi,
    Lightroom 2 ran absolutely perfect until it Crashed and caused a "?" to appear on all the files I have loaded since Lightroom Crashed.
    To solve this problem, two Really Knowledgeable Adobe Good Guys, Lee Jay and Sean McCormack offered numerous suggestions which has not solved the problem.
    For the past two (2) frustrating days I can not process any RAW files because Lightroom will not see the location of the files I load.
    My solution is to Delete Lightroom from my PC running XP Pro with service pack 3 installed.
    I need suggestions on how to remove "every single trace" of my present installation of Lightroom so I can install an Un-Corrupted copy of Lightroom 2 which I hope will operate perfectly like it did before it crashed.
    Any detailed removal suggestions Greatly Appreciated.
    Thank You,
    Hersul

    Thank You Lai and Dennis,
    I removed all the Lightroom files displayed by Regedit and re installed Lightroom 2 but that did not solve the problem as the "?" is still present on every file.
    I am very frustrated and disappointed that no one from Adobe who monitors this forum can solve the "?" problem.
    I will have to purchase another software to convert the RAW files and that sucks.
    Lightroom performed perfectly before it crashed and now it is absolutely worthless as it can not see any of my RAW files.

  • Older versions of Nikon Transfer will corrupt D600 files

    As I have done for years I shoot in RAW and use Nikon transfer to load images from the card to my laptop and external drive.  AFter I sort the images by subject I import them to Lightroom for the final touches.  Not so with Lightroom 4.2 and Nikon D600..Adobe says if yousue transfer than 4.2 will not recognize the files and too bad ...as a company they are going downhill..I hope they correct the problem so I can import the 1500 images into Lightroom for final conversions. It is a shame they do not care.
    any solutions to the import problem would be greatly appreciated..

    Here is an article that explains the corruption problem with older Nikon software:

    Here is a utility that will fix D4 and D800/D800E files, so it MAY WORK on your D600 files.  Please try it and report back:

  • Recovery for corrupt DNG files?

    I have many DNG files that are showing as corrupt--files copied from a failing hard drive. The file sizes seem right--around 26MB each, shot with a Canon 5DMIII and converted to DNG via Lightroom.
    The bad hard drive is dead now, I can't run recovery software on it, but I do have the files on a healthy drive.
    Anyone know of software that might be able to open corrupt DNG files? Some of the photo recovery software I've used in the past works by scanning media, but I have thousands of media files on the drive--I'm looking for recovery software that will let me open specific files and try to recover them. I'm on a Mac. I've tried Photoshop CC, and LR 5.6. When I try to open the .dng files, I get: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."

    Sorry, they're dead.
    There's a plugin that will extract your Lightroom preview as a jpg. It won't get your raw files back, but the jpegs ought to be good enough to print.
    Best practice says that you need to keep at least two copies of your originals. On separate physical devices.

    p.s. That website I referenced also points to a more full featured program that does the same thing.

  • Corrupt Dock File?

    Hi,
    So on my dock, I have my Applications Folder on it to use as a shortcut, but just recently, it started to display two of every application. See my picture:
    I also have my Downloads Folder on my Dock. When I drag things from the Downloads folder into the trash can, nothing happens. But then when I click +Show In Finder+, it shows the file as deleted.
    So it seems my Dock is not refreshing or something? So what I did to fix it was just remove the Applications and Downloads Folders from the Dock, and drag the Applications and Downloads folder from my hard drive to the dock. But everytime I log back in or download something else, the problem will arise again.
    Do I have a corrupt dock file? I didn't want to try messing with that until I consulted +Apple Discussions+ first.
    Thanks, Alex

    if recreating those stacks doesn't help try resetting your dock preference file. delete the file /users/user/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and enter the following terminal command
    killall Dock
    your dock will be rest to the default. see if the problem goes away.

  • Error -32810 occurred at The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi

    I have two cFP-2120 RT controller. They both have NI-Serial RT2.5.6, DataSocket for LV RT4.2, NI-VISA 3.6, FP Drivers 5.1.0, FP VI Manager 3.1.0 LV RT 7.1.1 installed. But one same vi can run on one controller but not another.
    the error message got when it runs on another controller is "Error -32810 occurred at  The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi"
    I wonder by what it is caused?
    Thanks

    Hi Matthew,
    As mentioned previously, this KnowledgeBase article may be of some help. Also, if your code is being run on an embedded controller and then a network controller (not embedded), you will need to run the program differently. On the embedded controller, you should deploy your VI in a Project Explorer or programmatically (as described here.) However, you do not need to deploy the program to a network controller, but simply run the VI.
    I would also suggest creating a new .IAK file. Do you still see the same error? Also, double-check that the software installed on the controller matches the software installed on the host PC. If you have any file paths associated with one FieldPoint controller, ensure that you are changing them to match the second controller.
    Please keep us posted on your troubleshooting steps. Have a great day!

  • Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

    I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

    Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's  Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

    I think we need a lot more information.
    Exactly what does the message say?
    Exactly what files are you trying to open?
    Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
    And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

  • How to fix a corrupt .avi file (from capture in CS3)?

    So I was recording a VERY long meeting at work and recorded it to my PC via Premiere. Since the recording was unattended, the file size is 275GB! I didn't really think anything would go wrong since I have recorded large .avi files in the past.
    Well when I try to import the .avi or play it in media player, it is saying it is corrupt/wrong file format. I tried a few avi repair utilities and none of them fixed it. I'm guessing the avi headers are missing, but I thought Premiere wrote progressive .avi files (at least their export is progressive and valid while its writing).
    Any help to repair salvage the avi? I only need about 50% of the actual content.

    >wonder why you can view a video that is currently being exported
    Seeing what the computer is
    DOING while it is doing it is really not the same as trying to open a file after the fact
    I have an inexpensive standalone DVD recorder to be able to move a movie from a DirecTv Tivo box in one part of the house to a DVD player in another part of the house
    I can watch the video on the TV while it is playing from the DTivo box to the DVD recorder
    If I do not properly CLOSE the disc when the recording is done, the DVD will not play
    An improperly closed file is, as you found, not going to work
    As I said, my best GUESS is that hitting the full point on the drive caused needed information to not be written to the header (or file end) and now any software you use to try and play or edit that file doesn't know what the file
    IS because the identity is lost
    I will guess that is also why the AVI repair programs you've tried won't work... they need to have some starting information to work, otherwise the contents of the file are just so much random "noise"

  • I followed your help directions on "Corrupt extension files" under "Unable to install add-ons", foolishly deleting the files you told me to. Now firefox won't open. I tried reinstalling firefox but it still won't open. Now what do I do?

    I was trying to install the SEOQuake add on. After clicking install Firefox would hang up saying the script had timed out and asking if I want to stop it or continue. Didn't matter which option I chose nothing would happen. The only way to stop it was to close Firefox and restart. Tried restarting the computer. Still wouldn't install. Tried installing the Outwit add on and got the same error leading me to conclude it was a problem with Firefox, not the add on. I found this help page <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons?s=addons+won't+install&as=s> and did everything it told me to. Finally at the end I got to "Corrupt extension files". I foolishly deleted the files you told me to and now Firefox won't even start! I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still won't start. Tried restarting the computer. I have no idea how to get back to where I was let alone install the add ons I wanted to install. Please help. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get Firefox working.
