Damaged Project : "Encapsulate or Repair" ?

Yesterday I received the dreaded 'damaged project' error message that I've read so much about...
Luckily I was able to restore the project using an earlier version (in song backups). I did attempt to repair the project prior to this using the "repair" option (which clearly doesn't work - it just duplicated all my tracks & messed up all my sample references). I presume the "encapsulate" option is just a report summary, but correct me if I'm wrong - has anyone tried this option or had any success with the "repair" option, or is it simply quicker (& better) to rebuild a project from an earlier version?

What causes a project to become damaged? It seems unique to Logic 8 (I've not experienced this with earlier versions of Logic or any other sequencer)... Time is money on any commercial session, so I'm keen to avoid it in the future.

PDF error message "The file is damaged and cannot be repaired"

Across several versions (upgrades) of Mozilla and from
several sites I have a problem when viewing pages (ie.
from MoinMoin wikis but also other CMS systems) with
embedded PDF documents.
I get an error dialog saying "The file is damaged and cannot be repaired" and a reference to a local cached copy of a
".tmp" file. If I right click on the link and "Save Link"
as a local file then the PDF views correctly (and it renders
correctly within the HTML page with other browsers such
as IE).
The page below (bizarrely) works for me, but similar
documents fail on password protected sites.
Any comments much appreciated. Thanks!

Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

"file is damaged and cannot be repaired" CS3 to CS4

hello,
I was emailed an illustrator CS3 file which I cannot open in CS4. I can open in CS3 but when I try to open in CS4 I get error "this file is damaged and cannot be repaired"
when I open in CS3 I get a message about font inconsistency...but the file still opens.
any suggestions?

Lara,
yes it said something like "some fonts are not supported..etc...would you like to open the file anyway." (sry cant remember verbatim...I had a friend of mine try to open it on her comp which has cs3).
I believe CS3 should substitute the fonts in question, or at least give you the option to substitute them. Did you try saving it from CS3 (with or without font substitution) and then opening in CS4 as I suggested?
CS4 may be more particular than CS3 when it comes to fonts. Illy is more particular than most applications (some applications open files with corrupt fonts that she flatly refuses), and she may have become more particular over the years.

File is damaged or cannot be repaired

I have Adobe Reader on my Vista OS. When I try to open a PDF file, I get error msg:
"file is damaged or cannot be repaired."
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

If you use a PC, you can use software you already have on your computer to retrieve some of the content. Right-click on the corrupt file and choose ‘Open
With’ and select the Notepad program that comes bundled with every copy of Windows. The resulting file will contain a lot of coding but within that
coding you will see the content. This is perhaps a only really viable with text-only PDFs as when you are dealing with images and forms, Notepad will be swamped with coding and finding the text can be the proverbial needle in the haystack.
Some links might be helpful to you:
I found an article, it may help you to solve the problem:

Claims damaged and cannot be repaired

I downloaded ML but on istallation, claims Macintosh HD is damaged and cannot be repaired! It was willing to the updates to Lion, which is up to date. (10.7.4). What happened?

I agree with killhippie. When Lion came out, My MacBook Air refused to install, saying the same thing. I wiped and nothing worked. took it to an apple store, they said it had died. I got a new computer and sold my macbook air (Original )

HELP! Warning! Damaged project! (Ginst)

Today when I launch Garageband on my iPad I get the message:
"Warning! Damaged project! (Ginst)". I press OK and Garageband then tries to load the last song I was working on and then crashes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
David

And I can't even get into GarageBand now to do anything else, since it auto-loads the last project you worked on. Massively frustrating.
In that case it should help to reset GarageBand. You can do that from the "Settings" app. Scroll down to GarageBand and switch the "Reset GarageBand" switch to "On".
This will reset it to factory settings and you can pick a different project, when you open GarageBand again. Sometimes this even helps to open a broken project, but I would not not rely on that, that the corrupted project can be opened after resetting GarageBand.

HELP! "This file is damaged and cannot be repaired."

I have been editing a large (25+ MB) PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro on a Macbook.
I just tried to open it to continue editing and got an error message:
"This file is damaged and cannot be repaired."
What on earth happened?!?!
A few days ago I saved a compressed version that is 1/10th the size. I can use that if I absolutely have to (it means losing part of my work and not all of my work) but I'm nervous -- what is the difference between a compressed file and a standard file that would make the compressed file 10% of the size? Is it fully functional with edits?
Ideally, if someone could help me remedy my error problem on the main file, that would be preferable -- but I'll also take info on compressed files (I didn't zip it, I just saved it in "Finder" as a compressed file.)

Lara,
yes it said something like "some fonts are not supported..etc...would you like to open the file anyway." (sry cant remember verbatim...I had a friend of mine try to open it on her comp which has cs3).

DISKWARRIOR 4 PROPERTY LIST & RESOURCE HEADER DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRE

Machine running funny, doing its own thing, curser
jumping all over page when barely touched touchpad,
running slower, programs close when using it,
safari always closes automatically.
Anyway, 1st I ran Diskwarrior and got two messages,

repaired.

Steps I did in Diskwarrior, Directory - Rebuild
1 link file had a creation date that was
repaired. The root creation date was repaired.
Incorrect values in the volume information were
repaired.
ran hardware test. Hard drives's built in S.M.A.R.T
diagnostics indicated the drive is functioning
normally.
Can you help, can I fix any of this, I did not
delete any of these files since I have ran
diskwarrior, in the past I may have deleted files
that have caused this instability. Could it?
Can it be fixed?

Hi h,
First, it is possible that the HD has mechanical issues that SMART cannot detect, and which could in turn cause software/OS issues. If that's the case, it's time for a new HD, but first I would install a fresh OS (see below).
in the past I may have deleted files that have caused this instability. Could it?
Deleting any one of thousands of OS files can wreak all kinds of havoc, most of it unpredictable. Some have names that you would never consider to be part of the OS, like "unknown."
Can it be fixed?
Odds are, if DW can't do, no. But I would still at least try Repair Disk while booted from your install disc. It's free and will take only a few minutes (though I wouldn't put much hope in it, no reason not to try).
If no success, in your situation, I would back up my data files, erase/zero the HD, and install a new squeaky clean OS. Then I would have confidence that things should be back to normal, but I'd still run Repair Disk regularly for a few weeks to make sure nothing becomes corrupted again.

PDF "FILE DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED".

I work at a software firm. We have a web app. Users are complaining that when they download a document in the Web app, they can't use that PDF, as the ERROR Message is "FILE DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED." Known issue. But, how do I fix it. It has to do with encoding and my suggestion is to call the ISP, but is that all that I can do? Is there anything in this forum I can point to?

there is something with the pdf itself that is stopping FF from opening it, as when i try opening the same in Crome ... there also i encounter the same problem (the file opens partially and then stops opening). But if i download the same then i can view the same in Acrobat reader properly.
May be the way the pdf was created used something which FF s not able to render (the graphics used in charts etc)
The work around that is available is that you download the file and save it somwhere, then open the same in Acrobat reader separately

Macintosh HD is damaged and cannot be repaired.

I recently downloaded and tried installing the new Mountain Lion OS X. After the download i followed all the steps and when i had restarted and started installing, it came with the warning: Macintosh HD is damaged and cannot be repaired, and that i should restart my coumputer. I have tried this several times, and nothing has helped. I have bootcamp on my computer and my windows side works perfectly fine. When i tried looking through my Mac sides files i found a file called OS X install data. I was wondering what would happen if i deleted this file. and how i can fix my problem?
thanks.

Your Mac partition has become badly corrupt. First priority needs to be baking up your data, if you don't already have it backed up. It may already be too late, unfortunately.
If you already have a full system backup, your life is easy... just erase the Mac partition and restore from the backup. If it's a Time Machine backup, see How do I restore my entire system?.
If you didn't have backups already, once your data is backed up, you need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, then import data only from your backup. Reinstall any apps from scratch.
If you are unable to make a backup, you may be very badly screwed, but you can try repairing the drive with DiskWarrior. It may repair the problem, or it may fail to and destroy some of your data in the attempt. (Anything you do is a risk without backups.)

Header Damages Can't be Repaired

I keep seeing log reports during Disk Utilities or DiskWarrior repairs saying that PrintOption.rsrc and Localized.rsrc have header damages that cannot be repaired. First, what's this mean to me? Second, is there another way to eliminate the problem: delete some unimportant file that will regenerate once I attempt to use the printer or ???

The files in question are system resource related ones, and as such, the easiest
approach if a repair is not happening and you have no third-party utility capable
of the repair, is to do an Archive & Install, then upgrade the System using the
Combo upgrade file; and then apply the latest Security Updates, Java, QuickTime,
and other bits you may be accustomed to using if they were added to the System.
{The resource file .rsrc has underpinnings in the root OS X, data and resource files.}
Your Applications folder and other drive contents should remain intact; and in order
to save your user account settings and move them into the new System the A&I
creates, there is a checkbox to be sure these user preferences, etc, are transferred.
There may be a better way; not sure if a different third party disk utility can fix
damaged system resource files in OS X. Some of the .rsrc may be used to
access and store system themes, so that may explain a visual issue in the
damaged headers as mentioned earlier. These files, in other circumstances,
can be edited by someone familiar with their purpose and content. Some of
them probably should not be edited if the path to fix other corruptions or un-
determined damages elsewhere is best covered by the blanket Archive/Install.
Perhaps someone with a better grasp of this resources file damage issue
may see this thread and offer another perspective. Some people would
suggest making a full content clone of the computer's hard disk drive and
then have that (bootable clone copy) to fall back on should some other
course of action fail to be viable. That would save everything, if done to a
correct level and tested before proceeding further with a system repair.
The Archive and Install process isn't all that complex; but adding the new
parts (and repairing disk permissions between update/upgrade steps) is
a path that will take some time and a level of attention to detail. If you get
the Combo update file for the system, and install that after the A&I, that
would make it easier to get correct update files from the Software Update
utility online. After several items are installed, the Software Update can
find more applicable updates. There are some it may not find, so you are
going to have to check for Flash player, & other stuff which may be needed.
Not sure if TechTool Pro 4 (or other) can fix damaged resource files; there
are some third party disk utilities that an do more than rebuild directories
or attempt to fix low-level corruption on a disk. A standard home-fix to an
odd issue such as you've experienced, would be to do the Archive & Install
and then update. The old system folder then gets named "previous" so it
can serve as a reference; some items may be possibly moved from it, but
the former system cannot boot the computer and should be removed at
some date when it appears to be no longer needed. (And to gain the space
on the hard disk drive otherwise wasted should it remain.)
Be sure there is an adequate amount of unused hard disk drive space in
the computer's hard disk drive before attempting to perform an A&H. This
is where a clone also comes in handy; to facilitate going ahead with repairs.
Well, I'm looking to find some food...
Good luck & happy computing!

On updating to Yosemite Mail Index damaged but does not repair when re-opening mail.

Yosemite updated but Mail index damaged and does not repair when re-opened. How is this fixed?

I have the same thing happening. Everything else seems to be working fine, except i can't open my mac mail at all! it seems to be in a loop and won't let me retrieve any mail or even try to send mail before migrating, but it fails and then its back to the beginning and the same loop continues, so no mac mail working. I also came from 10.6.8 to 10.10
