Corrupts file when saving

I'm working in 2010 version and saving back to 2003 for those who don't have a more current version. When I finish my edits and save, it all looks fine. I often put a date filter on it and filter out the 100% complete tasks. If I save it with those
filters on, and I open the file back up, I'm missing data. There are blank lines. Lines are relocated so the schedule is completely scrambled. It takes me hours to recreate it.

Igash3,
Do you have SP2 installed for Project 2010? If not, you need to install it because it fixes many version compatibility issues. For users who have Project 2003, it is imperative they have SP3 installed.
Here's an idea, rather than applying any filters before you save, why not just save as Project 2003 and let the users apply the filter.
It sounds like your file has become corrupt. That can happen if you are operating between Project versions. You might try saving the Project 2010 file as XML and then re-open in Project 2010 (Note: you will lose any custom formatting).
Hope this helps.

Illustrator renaming files when saving

I am working in Illustrator CS2 on a PC. When I open a .ai file that I created, work a bit and save again, my files are being renamed. Example: My original file that was named "planning details.ai" gets renamed to "PLANNI~5.ai."
Why is this happening? Thanks!

What you are describing is an OS issue. Or possibly a DOS issue (Even though they say it no longer exists, ha). The first name is a long file name and the second is a short file name.
The short file name is used if you are using an FAT formated drive. An option is enabled in windows to use short file names only. Another possiblity is a portion of your Table on the hard drive is corrupted.
The Fat table can be changed using a utility in windows that converts FAT to NTFS or Formatting the drive, that is assuming the drive can be changed. Some drives like flash drives for a camera may be required to stay as a FAT drive for the camera to work correctly.
The option for enabling short filenames may no longer be available. Windows use to have a place to change settings when issues come up to rule out the cause. Its possible that during Windows 98 to Windows ME it got phased out. I did not see it in Windows XP but then again quite a few options are now hidden. So if you did not change it yourself odds are you can rule out this theory.
As far as a corrupt NTFS Table goes it might be as simple as using chkdsk.exe or as bad as formating the drive. Odds are you would notice this issue when saving any or all new documents and reading a directory (folder) may show jibbersh or the short filenames only.
The tell tale sign of a short file name is the length of the name which is a maximum of 8 characters, plus the period, then the 3 character extention. If the long file name exceeds the limit of the short file name, a ~ character is used just before the period and the extention is trunicated to the first three characters after the period. Also the short file name can only use alphanumeric characters.
Hopefully this helps some. I do not think there is an option in Illustrator for determining which filename type to use. As this is usually left up to the OS.
Good luck...

CS6 OS X and Illustrator creates temp files when saved

Hello all,
First time to the forums, did a search and couldn't find anything, called customer support they didn't have an answer, and they directed me here.
We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6 for OS X(Snow Leopard). Now, when our users open a file and save it, the file is saved, but along with the file, a temp PDF file is also saved in the directory. So needless to say, if my user makes 10 changes to the file, there is the original and 10 temp PDF files in the directory.
We never experienced this with CS5, and I'm not sure where to look, our environment has been unchanged with the exception of the upgrade.
All the files they are working on are on a Netapp NAS device, and only one person is working on a file at a time.
any help is appreciated.

Back up all data.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line.
sudo chmod -R -N
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Click anywhere in the Terminal window, then paste (command-V). Press the space bar.
Now switch to the Finder and and select the item(s) that are causing the problem. Drag the items into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal.
Test.

Why do I get corrupted JPEGs when saving images in Camera Raw, CS6, Mac 0S Mavericks

I occasionally get corrupted JPEG files when processing RAW files in Camera Raw. The images will have lines of pixels that ar out of line, and or whole sections will be truncated and show white or black. I'm using PS CS6, Camera Raw 8.6 on a Mac with OSx Mavericks. Not sure, but it might have something to do with the Bridge Cache, which also acts up when it's getting full. Anyone else have this problem, or any advice.
Thanks!

right click on the jpeg (the other mouse button then you use to click with) or on trackpad, hold down control and click, in the menu that pops up, click on "get info" next, if the box labeled "locked" is checked, uncheck it. Down at the bottom, there should be a box with your user name, "staff" and "everyone". to the right of this are options to change these you may need to click the small padlock icon and enter in your password. then change all of the permissions to read and write.

Problem with the location of files when saving files after signiging them

We have a application that calls acrobat writter to sign a pdf (some sign boxes not the all document), but when using the latest Acrobat it insists on saving the signed files to the previous open path used by acrobat and not to the current file location, saving the file on the wrong path, how can i fix this ?
example
acrobat.exe c:\myfile.pdf ...-> tries to save to d:\some_path_where_user_worked_previouly
To me this is a bug, i open a file make a change and the aplication tries to save the file somewhere else ? this is most wierd and also this was not the way acrobat 8 worked....

Illustrator also saves a new .ai file when saving with batch

When saving for Web as .png with a batch, illustrator also saves a new .ai file.
The batch opens the .ai files from a specific map and saves them in another map.
Is there a reason that illustrator does this ?
Now I have to delete all the .ai files from the saving-map.

Which version of Illustrator? Which Batch settings in detail?

Corrupt file when Downloading iTunes+Quicktime

Im on my sisters laptop and when I try to install iTunes, it says there is a corrupt file. Im sorry if someone else has had this problem and Im just repeating it. But, she has had iTunes before, but had her pc wiped out. Could that have something to do with it? And is anyone else having this problem

There is a very comprehensive post on the subject at this link: "What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message" http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1726580#1726580

Photoshop Elements 7 - format changes to temp file when saved

When I open a file in the edit screen (quick edit) and then edit the file -- when I close it (and agree to replace the current image), it closes as a temp file and I lose the jpg file? It does state that the image "Could not save as ..... because the file is already in use or was left open." Then I close it and the jpg is gone. Is there some setting I have to change? I just want to make changes and then save as the same file so I only have the new, edited image? I know I have done this before.
I am using Vista and Photoshop elements 7. I had elements 4 before and this never happened. In fact, I used my elements 7 before and it never happened.
Thanks for any help.

Please explain more as if your new file is not created properly or it is not recognized as a supported file format. In later case you will see some unsupported file format icon when you save the file and check its file icon.
Also when you save the file, a jpeg settings dialog box comes up. Make sure you select appropriate settings.
If you find that its just the unsupported file, then try opening the file with File->open As and choose jpeg and see if its opening.
Also try open with after right click the image icon and browse and choose PSE as a default app for opening a file.

Photoshop Corrupting Files When Rendering Gradients

Hello there, I'm a first time poster, with a long time problem.
My Photoshop is corrupting files in a very destructive fashion, and it seems to be tied to the live rendering of gradients. Not just blur filters, as in this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751036?start=200&tstart=0) but opacity adjustments in layers, and hue/brightness shifts. This happens usually in files with large dimensions, but not necessarily complicated layer structures.
This type of corruption, which renders blocks, tesselated shapes, or inverts/fills odd layers, seems to be a problem for multiple users, but I haven't seen a solution.
I think I may be the first person to link it directly to the live rendering of gradients- rather than just the blur filters. Anything that has to render a gradated shift across the image seems to be the culprit. Usualy starting as a solid, and ending as a transparent. However, simply adjust hue/brightness over an opaque layer will make the corruption happen as well. Which leads me to believe that this corruption is caused by live on screen rendering of gradient shifts.
Does anyone have any further thoughts or potential solutions?
Here are my specs:
CS6 13.0.4 x 64
Mac OSX v.10.7.5
3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3

I do not understand what you writing in either append. Please post some screen capture that show us the problems your having. Its hard to be the first person to do anything . Your most likely not the first one.

Corrupt PSD files when saving from MacBook Pro

Hey all,
I have a 17" 2.33ghz MacBook Pro that I've had for over a year. Once in a while I use the notebook to do work in Photoshop and then save the PSD over the network to a hard drive in my PowerMac G5.
Then, when I go to open the file on the PowerMac later Photoshop says that it can not open the file because it's not a valid Photoshop Document.
Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening? I have confirmed that I haven't left the file open on the MBP when trying to access it from the other computer, so that's not the issue.

This issue is well documented and fixed in the OS 10.5.4 update released this week.

Corrupted files being saved over network

I have a Macbook Pro 17" 2008 model and I am having some interesting issues that i can't seem to find the answer for. I switched offices recently and am now plugged in directly via Ethernet cable to our main Cisco router instead of a small under the desk hub shared by 3 computers, that iu used to use with no issues. Since i moved i am having trouble with files getting corrupted when i save to the XP server (peer to peer).
For example in InDesign CS3 i save a file and it will crash InDesign then corrupt the file. If i work on my hard drive, there are no issues. This week it started happening to Excel CSV files. I save them and open them no problem, but when they are used in any of our software on other computers that imports CSV files, they do not recognize the files as CSV.
Yesterday I downloaded some CSV files from an offsite FTP and saved to the server. I did not open them, but they had some weird additional characters in them, that showed up in our other software. I went on a PC downloaded them again and the CSV were fine. So i am starting to think it is some sort of network connection glitch.
Just wondering if any one has any ideas? It is getting to be a bigger and bigger problem each day.
Thanks in advance.

These days programs have safe guards in them to stop loading a file that they cannot. Adobe products in particular I know should give you a message that they cannot read this file. How are you downloading these files from the server? What service or protocol?

PM 7.0 SP2 Pagemaker Corrupts files when it opens them

I work in the IT department at a hospital and the hard drive failed in our Print Shops computer. After reinstalling all the programs I'm having problems with page maker 7.0 whenever I open a document with it (from a networked drive) it corrupts the file and page maker crashes. That user's manager also has page maker and can open the files without a problem (before the first computer corrupts them). We had problems with Xp sp3 and in design/page maker so we have it running Sp2 so that shouldn't be an issue and I have tried reinstalling pagemaker and that didn't help anything. Anyone have any ideas that I can try to get this working correctly?

I just tried that approach, I copy pasted the file onto the desktop and it did not work, when it opened it just gave me a dialog box telling me that the file was not closed successfully the last time it was used. the file opens fine on another computer we have thats running pagemaker so I do not understand why it is getting this error.
when i click no, in order to open the last successfully saved version pagemaker opens but its blank, and there is no document to view

Save as PDF in Excel rewrites file when saving multiple sheets

Hello,
I'm having issues saving Excel files to PDF when multiple sheets of a workbook are active. I constantly need to print multiple sheets of a workbook for a service report, but when multiple tabs are highlighted to print/save it will save each sheet as the output file but immediately overwrite the saved file with the next sheet. So if I have four sheets active and go to print/pdf/save to pdf I will briefly see a "processing page" message box for each sheet but in the end I will only have one pdf file of the last active sheet. A single sheet will save beautifully but it's kind of a pain to constantly string together the pdf files. I looked through the Excel forum, but it seems they point anything pdf related back to OS X. I'm running XL 12.1.5 and OS X 10.5.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been having the same problem... after not finding a solution on this page, I finally found an answer that worked for me. As the Adobe support link below states... change the "Print Quality" to be the same for all sheets, then use the Print dialog box rather than the Save As dialog box. In the Print dialog box, choose the "save as PDF" option" (on the lower left for me). This finally solved my multiple file problem.

Why can I not see the entire MS word file when saved as a PDF?

I saved a MS word template as a PDF and only part of the document is visible. The MS Word doc was erased, so I need to be able to see the remainder of the document.

By "part of the document" do you mean just certain pages or are pages cut off or...?
If pages are missing, that is probably what was chosen when it was printed to the pdf (or they were removed somewhere down the line). Again, the lost information would not be in the pdf file.
