Creating TOC corrupts file
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has the same issue and found a workaround.
I spent 3 hours on creating and designing a TOC for my book. All was well and I was very happy. Today I opende the file, and both the file and the backup I created one hour before ending work yesterday didn't open. Corrupt.
I work with CS5, but I remember I had the same in CS4. The file is doing well until you create/update a Table of Contents.
The file probably has some corruption that creating a TOC makes Indesign mess up the file for good, but exporting and importing back doesn't help one bit.
I've tries all the standard answers you can Google for against corrupt files, but can't nail this one. Can't find a decent workaround except for making a backup every five minutes when I'm working on the file, or update the TOC, don't save, but export. So I can never save an up to date TOC.
Anyone who has had this issue as well: please respond. Thanks. I am on W7/CS5/Dutch.
PS.
Indesign feels like the most instable piece of software since Windows 95. (And yes, it crashes on the Mac just as hard.)
None of the symptoms you describe are in any way usual or "normal" for ANY version of ID. This is probably a system-specific problem such as conflicting software or a bad font, What's your OS?
Do you get an error message when you try to open this file?

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-

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. -
How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?
how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?
Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up. -
Corrupt file error while writting a file in compress mode
Hello,
I have a scenario where i am writting data in a file in appending mode with filter 'compress' addition using open dataset, on Al11 for the first set of records it works fine but if this file is accessed again for writting data in next select statement ( its between select endselect),the file is getting corrupted, if i try to open this file corrupt file error come. can someone help.
Thanks and Regards,
GunjanHi Gunjan,
Unfortunately, you can't do in that way. The behaviour of that OPEN and FILTER 'compress' clause is to create a compacted file, to be read later, but it can be appended... all your writes go to a pipe and when you close the file this is sent to 'compress' program or other filter and than a compacted file is created.
You can't go back and start inserting again after close it.
Follow documentation:
http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET_OS_ADDITION.htm
The addition FILTER must not be used together with the addition AT POSITION or for the access type FOR UPDATE.

Help needed deleting corrupted file
G'day,
I have a corrupted file on my hard disk. It is a Vault backup file created by Aperture. Whenever I do anything with the file (e.g., try to unlock it, try to view info, try to open it), the o/s immediately tells me that I have to manually turn off the system (which is what I understand to be a kernel panic).
I have tried to delete the file using the terminal window and by placing the file into a folder and moving the folder to trash. In all cases, I'm told to manually shut down the computer (even when I tried to empty the trash).
It's a 30 gig file, so I'd like to be able to delete it in order to save the hard disk space. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll reformat the drive if I have to, but I'd prefer to remove just the file.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
DougSometimes it happens that the Finder just doesn't want to empty the trash anymore and says "The operation cannot be completed because the item "" is in use.". That's a good warning if it is true, but sometimes you want to get rid of an application and this warning appears even though the only thing running is the Finder. Usually after a restart you can delete it. But that is very time consuming and even then, it is sometimes still stuck not wanting to be deleted. There is a risky command that can be used in the Terminal that will empty the trash no matter what. Risky because a simple error in the syntax could erase a lot of stuff that you want to keep.
There is a much easier and quicker way of forcing the Finder to empty the trash no matter what! It is done in the freeware customization and maintenance application OnyX (download @ http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html ). Once you loaded OnyX and entered your administrator password, choose "Cleaning" in the top bar. Click on the "Trash" tab. You can now choose whether you want to "Delete" or to "Securely Delete" (by overwriting) and click Execute. That's it, it will force the Finder to empty the trash even if the files are in use!
Also look at these links.

Corrupted files with Keynote 08
Hi,
I will try to be as clear as possible because the problem I have is potentially dangerous for any Keynote user. I have been a Keynote user for many years now and I use it systematically to make conferences and conventions. It's really fun to work with that software. But a problem has recently occured with the latest version.
Like many independant workers, I use to work at my office and later at home. So I backup my files on a portable HD to finish them later. I use a backup program that saves that perfectly
Many days ago, I wanted to reopen a keynote file at home when I realized that there was something wrong. When the file opened, it showed me the state of the file BEFORE the backup. First I thought I had forgotten to do the backup. But when I got back on the Finder, I saw that Quick Look showed me the most recent version of the file. More, with a right click on the file I opened the package and I saw all the images embeded in my keynote presentation. So I returned to Keynote and noticed somrthing really weird : the thumbnails show the right of the slides, but the slides themselves are wrong. I had no choice but to make the slides again and finally thought I had done something wrong. But the same thing occured today. And I am sure the backup has been done correctly.
I have tried to save the document as another name to see what happens. When I do so the file is saved without the embeded images that were previously in the package. To resume, if your right file weighed 80 Mo with 50 Mo of images, when you save your corrupted file, it only weighs 30 Mo.
There has been problems with Keynote in the past. Some images were "lost" after a backup but were present in the package. But this is REALLY a problem because you simply lose your work.
i f any of you has an answer I would appreciate. And I hope I made myself clear, because even in French, it would have been hard to explain correctly.I have today encountered a problem opening old Keynote presentations on my new iMac running Leopard. It cannot open any of the old presentations on my machine because it says they are damaged.
I also could not open an old Pages file because it says the file is corrupt and there was a .xml missing. I later managed to open this by searching for it directly through the application "Open" command and following the search path. It then gave the usual " This was created by a previous version of Pages..." and the Save as warning, but it did open when I went this route. (I have now saved this document as Pages 08 and all is well).
There seems to be a bug in the iWork '08 suite when it comes to older documents. -
How to restore a corrupted file?
Hello,
I have a problem with the Illustrator file I was working on. I cannot open it, and the icon of the file is a bit opaque with a grey cross. If I try to move it, a message says that the file is unavailable. But still is not an empty file. This is the property window:
Also, I stopped working around 01.00, so I don't know why the last access is at 02.36.
Is there any way to recover the information?
Thank you,It's probably toast, but try this:
From Illustrator, try open recent file.
Create a new file and try to place the corrupt file into it.
Try to open it in Acrobat.
Change the extension to .pdf and try to open it in Acrobat and Illustrator.

InDesign CS4 - saved gradient got corrupted, file becames unreadable.
Hi all.
I've just got the new CS4 suite a couple of days ago.
All is well installed, been working like crazy for almost 2 days straight, over CS2 files that I had before.
Then I started a brand new document (not imported from older versions), designed it, and it crashed after I've applyed a simple gradient to a frame.
After restarting InDesign CS4, it recovered the file, but the frame with the gradient was Black, and a warning appeared saying the file appears to be corrupted.
"Saving as..." with a new name didn't helped either, seems like every file saved from that one were corrupted.
Scanned the hard drive for bad sectors, all is ok.
The only solution I've got was to:
open the corrupted file
select what I could
"copy" to memory
close the file
create a new document with similar settings
paste and adjust
start all over again for every page and layer
Can someone help, so this doesn't happen again?
Oh, and it also crashed again after creating some colors. On Windows Task Manager, the executable was still there, "eating" about 49% CPU.
Could this have something to do with multi-core? This machine has a dual-core, but others have quads. This is being run over Windows XP Professional SP3, 3Gb Ram.
I couldn't replicate the error yet.
Kind regards,
Bruno MateusHi Peter,
Thanks for the response. I think you nailed it. I had actually updated all the cross references that generated errors, but a few crept through (no errors generated) that referenced a paragraph in the document I copied from. I replaced these with the references in the current document and this solved it. The old document was also on a remote disk, so I'm sure this made matters worse. In addition, I found links to illustrator files on the remote disk. I also copied these files to the local disk and updated all the links (actually I did this first and it made very little difference, it was really the cross references that were the issue).
Thanks,

Originals won't open in iPhoto, Preview, Photoshop; Corrupted files?
I am using the latest version of iPhoto 6 (6.0.5, I think).
I have 2 external Firewire hard drives. One is for backup. One is for my music and pictures.
Everytime I would start iPhoto I would get "rebuild thumbnail cache". Knowing this is not normal, I used the latest version of Backup, and backed up to an external hard drive.
Now the external hard drive with the music and photos has failed completely (I think the circuit board is fried, but that's another story).
I restored my iPhoto library from my backup, to my computer's main drive. I checked permissions, and none required fixing.
Now all of my pictures are corrupted. The thumbnails show, but neither the originals nor the modified picture files will open in iPhoto, Preview, or Photoshop. I get the infamous "unknown or invalid JPEG marker type" error.
And I have rebuilt the iPhoto database several times to no avail.
I have 13500 pictures in my library, including the birth of my daughter and 3 years of her growing up. There must be a way to fix this.
Please help!
20" iMac G5 2.0/MacBook 1.83/eMac 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Robert
Sorry to hear of your problems.
Right now I would concentrate on getting the pics back, and figure out the iPhoto part later.
Select one of the pics in the Finder and try change the file suffix: if it's pic.jpg, then try pic.JPG or .jpeg and see if that helps.
Try open the pics with Graphic Converter, which seems to be less fussy about things. You can download it here: http://www.lemkesoft.com/
BackUp (if this is the Apple App we're talking about) creates a pkg file. Can you see the one you restored from? Right click on it, and choose 'Show Package Files. Inside you'll find a .dmg file. This contains the actual files. Mount the dmg and see if you can find the files inside it. Can you view them in Preview?

How do I create a .llb file that includes only the subVIs used in a VI?
hi....
can anybody help me ...i wanna creat a library file that holds only the sub-VIs that are running in particular main VI .
are there options for that in labview??I don't think understand the answer. From just the top level VI, do like I said and an llb will be created with the top level and all subVIs. You can also edit the llb (Tools>Edit VI Library) and make your main VI top level. A note of caution. An llb was originally designed as a means of storing VIs with extended names. With modern OS's allowing long file names, an llb is less useful except as a convenient means of distributing a group of VIs from one location to another. This would be done as a final distribution such as an instrument driver or to another developer who would then convert the llb to a folder. There are several problems with keeping the development VIs in an llb. One is that it doesn't work with any form of source code cont
rol. Another is that a corrupt VI in an llb can and has made the entire llb unreadable so unless you are absolutely religous about backups, you made find yourself in deep trouble some day. -
