Corrupted Save file

Anyone please help. Im using CS4 and one time it happened when im exporting my project into mpeg2, then i got an error on media encoder. what i did is i've restarted my mac and when im about to open again my project, it hangs at around 95%. i also tried to import it on after effects but it says "Adobe dynamic link error". what should i do to recover my project? and my autosaves are also "corrupted".

Welcome to the forum.
This PrPro-Wiki FAQ might be useful for a corrupt Project.
Good luck,

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents. How do I fix this?
I mean, if I save a file called "crachá" I'm using an accent on "a" so it showed as "á" but if I do this Illustrator says the following error:
"The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different foulder"
and when I try to open it says:
"The file "Crachá.ai" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened."
So, my solution is to create a new file and call it "Cracha", without the accent. But it never happened before. How can I fix this legitimately?
Thanks.

As for the resolution problem: upsampling an image doesn't improve its quality, because there's simply not enough information there.
As for the warning you get: it's most likely caused by RGB color mode or by placed RGB content that interacts with other content in the file (e.g. because you applied transparency)
In English it's this one:
As far as I see it there's no alternative to learning the basics of printing, color management and transparency. This is nothing that can be done by some forum posts.
Printing:
http://rufus.deuchler.net/2011/06/adobe-publishes-a-new-creative-suite-555-printing-guide. html
You need to understand what's happening on conversion of RGB to CMYK color space, which will happen when printing to offset presses. When you print on office printers, something else happens and all kinds of color may come out, because these machines sometimes do their own color correction and everything depends on how you set up the machine.
Provided you check the PDF in Acrobat: you need to set up color management there as well. This might lead to the differences (greenish) you're seeing.
Find a good book on color management and read the manual:
Creative Suite * Understanding color management (there's more about the subject)
As for transparency:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/Transparency-DesignGuide.pdf
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/TXPGuide.pdf
Before sending files to a print service provider you need to get information on how they need the file. Most providers won't accept PDFs generated with "No color conversion". Or they won't guarantee for the output.
What you see on your monitor won't necessarily match the printed result unless your system is correctly calibrated and color management set up. And even then there might be differences.
Can't you contact this former colleague, pay him an amount of money and let him teach you the tools of the trade?

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)?

10.7.5 ?
Tried direct download?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582

"Always ask me where to save files" does not work.

Summary: The "Always ask me where to save files" feature does not work. No dialog box comes up, apparently because the browser is stuck on a bad old read-only lastDir location, in a prefs.js file that I can't edit.
Details:
I am using Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has a both a read/write Mac partition that I use most of the time, and a bootcamp Windows partition drive ("C"), which I can read but not write to.
At some point I accidentally tried to download a file from a site, using Firefox, to the read-only Windows C drive. Ever since that time, I have not been able to download any files from Firefox, except to the firefox/downloads folder. This is inconvenient. If, in preferences, I try to set downloads to ""Always ask me where to save files", the dialog box does not come up when I actually try to save files. This problem does not apply to saving photos by right-clicking them.
If I open, in text-edit, mozilla/firefox/profiles/t4vockvue.default/prefs.js, which was saved yesterday, I can see a problematic line. It reads:
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc]");
C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc] being the read-only windows directory.
This prefs.js is apparently not an editable file.
I tried to fix this by opening a browser tab in Firefox and opening about:config. The editable browser.download.lastDir does NOT show the same "lastDir"....it shows some directory that I successfully downloaded photos to, by right-clicking on a photo.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.

To confirm which profile folder is active when you are running Firefox, it is easiest to open it from inside Firefox as follows:
Sometimes the file that stores the customizations becomes corrupted and fails to update properly at the end of your session. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (Windows: "Show Folder" button).
Hopefully you are using a separate profile folder on each OS.

Re Time Machine "You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file ".002332b7be8a" warning preventing backups--this may help temporarily

My TM is often giving me the "You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file “.002332b7be8a” in folder “Time Machine Backups”" message when I go to select my backup drive. I've reviewed past archived discussions on this and, like many other people, gotten completely flummoxed trying to find a permanent solution. Tried the suggested fixes via Terminal and it didn't help because I couldn't get through the entire process without Terminal telling me it couldn't find a file or drive. When I can find the time, I'm going to try Tinker Tool to reveal where that numbered file actually is and give it another go.
In the meantime, for those who are desperate to get their TM working again to get at least one backup done, I can offer people a temporary solution that's worked for me.
I've found that restarting my iMac somehow resets TM and usually allows it to do at least one of its automatic backups, sometimes several, before it reverts back to failing and producing that same darn warning message. I only want a backup done once a day, so it's not that inconvenient to go this route.
There's another even quicker method (perhaps a little more risky but hasn't been a problem for me yet) that I've been using more recently, and that is to simply unplug the external while the iMac is on (I close system preferences first though, and make sure TM isn't actually doing anything at the time) then plugging it back in and choosing the backup drive again in the TM system preferences window once that drive has shown up again in the Mac's list of devices. I don't get that warning message when I do this. It works every time for me and so far it hasn't lost or corrupted any data on the external, despite the warning message you get on Macs when you unplug a USB device without ejecting it first. However, do this at your own risk--don't flame me if it backfires on you. If you're of the opinion that it's not wise to unplug the device this way, then fine, go ahead and state such in this thread, but be polite about it.
Hope this helps anyone who's frantic to make a backup without having to start from square one with a whole new complete initial backup (can take many hours to make one) on a fresh external drive.
By the way, I've read somewhere that this problem was fixed with Snow Leopard. Whether that's true is another matter. I'm not quite ready to update to 10.6 for other reasons, even though I bought it, and I figure some other people are also still using 10.5.8 out of fear and loathing around the unknowns of installing a new OS too, so that's why I thought I'd post this message (couldn't find a discussion around this that was still active and not archived).

Wow, I haven't seen that in a looooong time!

Do you mean in #C5 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting?

It should be at the top level of the drive.

Yes. I'm not sure if it was 10.6.0 or one of the early updates, but I haven't seen any reports of this in quite a while.

Is there any way to delete the corrupt LOG files in order to add new one? The data file is ok.
Thanks

Thread was also opened on the Mailing list:
Here is the answer
Hi,
in most situations an "add log volume" does not solve
a log full situation, because the added logvolume is
accessible first at the moment, when the write position
on the log is at the end of the old logvolume.
If a LOGFULL occurs, the save log!
All "parts" of the LogVolume are numbered and each one
has stored the identifying number of it's predecessor and
it successor in it's header-page. The message
     "Linkage missmatch between volume"
means, that these values does not match any more.
Did you somehow changed the contents of this file/device?
If so: can you revert the change? Then the restart should
work again. do a logbackup and your database will run again.
If this doesn't work for you, you could patch the
header pages of the logvolume (I assume you do not really
want this).
Another way to solve the situation is to do a data backup
in admin-mode, reinstall the database and recover the
databackup, because the removal of a logvolume is not
supported.
kind regards, Martin

My Vista system crashed due to a corrupted windows file. When I reformatted C:/ & reloaded firefox & tbird, my bookmarks were gone. I have an image of the drive , but I don't know how to recover them and get the data back where I can access it.

Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
Thanks again for the guidance

How do I save files to external hard drive in anticipation of a OS clean install?

How do I save files to an external hard drive in anticipation of a OS clean install? I'm worried that the new OS will not be able to find my photos.
My data have not been backed up for 2 months, and the OS is corrupted. Currently working with a senior Apple engineer on this. It looks like a clean install will be necessary.
This question will also extend iTunes :/

How to correctly move your media:

iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
It is important that the External Hard Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).

'Unknown Error' when trying to save files from CS under Leopard

We recently upgraded to Leopard, and reinstalled our CS apps. Photoshop and InDesign work fine. Illustrator, however gives us an 'An Unknown Error has Occurred' when trying to save any file. After dismissing the alert, a window pops up, informing us that, 'Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file couldn't be found. ID=-43.' This happens when trying to save a new file, or an existing file, when saving with PDF preview is checked, or unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I deleted preferences on both machines. The Intel seems to be cured. All file formats save, printing, and importing are functioning normally.
The G5 however is only modestly improved. I can now at least create and save files. Printing also functions. However if I attempt to use the template dialog box or to import (place) a file the dialogs crash the application.
My suspect is a corrupt font, but until I have time to track down which one it is, I'll have to limp along as is...

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?

Cant download or save file sometimes

When i try to download a file or save it, it starts to download normally till it finished and this pops up "www.xxxx.com could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location."
It always happen. I tried saving it into different places like on my desktop and in other drives but the same thing pops up. I really have no idea and this is interfering with work so please please i really need help.
Thankyou
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== It started 2 days ago

This may be a problem with the %TEMP% folder.
Firefox immediately starts downloading the file to the temp folder and move the file after you have supplied the name and location to that folder.
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.
See [[Unable to download or save files]]

Pdf image recovery from corrupt pdf files

the pdf file in which i kept my pictures gt corrupt. i used image extractor tools but for nothing. please help me. i am clueless what to do?

How silly was I as I had been using PDF files since the day I learned to operate the computer system and didn’t know anything about them. Then one day I realized that why don’t I learn something about PDF to become a mater in it.
As we know in these days, PDF files are most commonly used by worldwide. Belong to any part of the society, we as an individual or an organization use PDF files. Therefore it has become very essential element in computer service.
“Generally a PDF or Portable Document Format file is a self-contained cross-platform document which appears same as in the form of soft copy or hard copy. PDF files are used by all of us as they contain the complete formatting of the original document, including fonts and images, PDF files are highly compressed, allowing complex information to be downloaded efficiently.”
PDF is very popular due to its easiest form of transferring the files over and through the internet as it maintains the original formatting and secures the documents so nicely that other files’ formats don’t.
Any PDF file contains text or images and sometimes both i.e. text and images. It can be used for office presentation, school assignment or personal collection. But sometimes we don’t need the text part which is inside our PDF file. Occasionally, we need only the pictures from our PDF files. That time we usually do this: copy the images or pictures from the PDF files and then paste them in other new PDF file. That process of copy and paste takes a long time and makes us tired. So that time we need an application which can easily extract all the images and pictures from our PDF files in very short point of time.
But just think about this: How can you extract images and pictures from a PDF file which is corrupted. Because there is not any software application which can extract the images and pictures from a corrupt PDF file. Did I say no?
Actually there is a tool which can easily extract the images and pictures from not only a normal PDF file but also from a corrupt PDF file. With the help of this tool anyone can easily extract the images and pictures from a single or multiple PDF files of all versions such as 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7, from Adobe Acrobat 3.x to Adobe Acrobat X either it is normal or corrupted as it is very simple to use. After extracting the images and pictures, it allows you to save them in different formats such as JPEG, BMP, PNG and GIF. It is one of the fastest extracting tools which does extraction process in no more time.
i used this tool as it was refered earlier in this thread, and i am totally satisfy from this tool : PDF Image Extractor from SysInfoTools. What a utility excellent work done by experts.

DESPERATE: need to recover corrupted Word file

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone out there can help me recover a corrupted Word file. My Macbook froze while I working on an important document. I was forced to restart it but when I tried to reopen the file I had been working on, I got a message that "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened" I have surfed the web for solutions and some suggested opening and repairing the file under PC versions of Word. I've done that, but when the file opens, the entire document is filled with weird symbols and characters. Please tell that I haven't lost everything
Thanks for any leads for solving this or on any recovery softwares that might provide some partial recovery of the data.

Well it's hard to say if recovery of your file is possible, but you can check if you have selected the Save AutoRecover information every x minutes check box in your MS Office settings.
If yes just check AutoRecover file location box in MS Office settings.
If not and you don't have backup, your file is lost i think.

Illustrator cc 2014 can't save files

Hi!
I Have a lot of problems with the Illustrator CC 2014. And it freaks me out. I have no idea how to reach Adobe. I've tried another Adobe forum but haven't heard anything.. I would appreciate some sort of help. Or if someone knows where to post the question?
1) First of all can't save files… I wish this could be the number one feature in a design app but apparently not..
I got "unknown error " and all work spent is gone forever. This happens a lot.
2) also lagging problems. when moving graphics and zooming in illustrator. it is SO stressful.
I have Two computers, with the same problems.

Nils Petter,
If no brighter suggestion comes up, you may try the list, see below.
Did you install fully on both computers (after upgrading the OS if relevant)?
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
