Damaged Psd file from improper usb eject

I was using a somewhat loose fitting usb device to store one of the files I was working on. Unfortunately my mac had "issues" and needed to be manually shut off with the usb still plugged in. Anyway, I go to open the psd file from the device and I get this error message "This document contains photshop data which appears to be damaged. Continue and ignore the photoshop data?" I clicked okay and then I get this message "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version on photoshop."
I am in dire need of help. Stupidly that was the only device I saved this psd file on. I've been working on it for days. Is there any way to get that file back?
Any help would be great!

If you are (extremely) lucky, you may be able to open the flattened composite or an embedded thumbnail preview in Graphic Converter or in Illustrator, but your layers are most likely toast.
Bummer.

  • I have a time machine backup file on a USB hard drive.  I bought a time capsule / airport extreme, flat 3TB.  I wish to transfer the backup file from the usb hard drive to the time capsule hard drive.  10.6.8

    I have a time machine backup file on a USB hard drive.  I bought a time capsule / airport extreme, flat 3TB.  I wish to transfer the backup file from the usb hard drive to the time capsule hard drive.  10.6.8

    Unfortunately, Time Machine backups that are stored on a drive that has been connected directly to a Mac are completely different than Time Machine backups that are stored on a Time Capsule.
    Frankly, it is not worth the effort and trouble to try to transfer the old backups to the new Time Capsule.....my opinion....having done this in the past.
    It is possible though, but I would not recommend it due to the complexity and downsides involved with this. To give you an idea of how to do this, check out this support article.
    http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
    Even if you transfer the "old" backups over to the Time Capsule successfully, Time Machine will not simply "add on" to the old backups.
    Time Machine will make a new complete backup of your Mac and then add incremental backups from that point.
    My advice.....start a new backup on the Time Capsule and move forward. Keep the USB hard drive around for a month, maybe 2 or 3 in case you need to go back to an old backup for some reason.  At that time, you will not likely need the old backups at all since you will have a current 2-3 month history of new backups.  At that point, you can erase the USB drive and use it for another purpose.

  • What Is the best way to upload and download psd files from Photoshop to Photoshop Touch? [was:Re]

    What Is the best way to up load and down load psd files from desktop photo shop to photo shop touch? For on the go touch up or. I'm using psd files at 90 percent 300 depi when in photo shop on desktop. To ps touch

    Hi Bford225,
    I'd recommend using your favorite web browser and going to https://creative.adobe.com/files for uploading from the computer.
    Keep in mind tablet capabilities are much less than a computer, so large files might take a long time to download and be very system intensive to work on. Although you can import files up to 12 megapixels I'd recommend something more mid range, like 6 or 7 megapixels, ie 2880 x 2160 or 3072 x 2304.
    Also, PSD files are flattened when imported into Photoshop Touch.
    Hope that helps,
    -Dave 

  • Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

  • How do I delete a file from my USB Stick

    I have a new MacBook Pro with retina display.
    I have just put in my USB flash drive which contains some movies (MP4 format).
    I am unable to even move the files to the trash.
    When I "double click" I only get options to open/ create alias etc
    When I hold down CMD and DELETE I get nothing.
    How do I delete a simple file from my USB stick??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Just to re-iterate...for some reason my Macbook doesn't seem to be providing enough power to the EHD through the USB ports.
    So in recap.
    1.  Is there anyway to get more power to my USB port to power the EHD
    2. If not, how do I transfer my contents of my EHD to my Macbook without wiping the EHD first
    thanks

  • I'm new to apple after years of MS OS! How do I transfer files from my USB memory stick to another USB memory stick? cheers

    hi all, i've just switched to apple after many years using MS OS!  I'm now using iMac desktop 21.5" with 2.9GHz processor and latest Yosemite software.
    How do I transfer files from one USB memory stick to another USB memory stick on the iMac?  cheers, linley94

    Plug in the memory stick and it should open then create a New Folder and drag and drop the contents from the memory stick to the new folder you created. Remove the original memory stick all the information should be in the new folder you created. Now plug in the new memory stick with nothing on it when it opens drag the folder with the contents from the original memory stick folder and all into the new memory stick that opened and there you have it.

  • Can't open psd files from Bridge CS6

    Had both CS4 and CS6 installed, CS4 Bridge added itself when I wanted just CS6 Bridge, so uninstalled CS4.  Now cannot open psd files from SC6 Bridge.  What do I do?.

    What is Bridge doing when you try to open the PSD file?  Do you get a warning, does nothing happen?  Did you open the preferences in CS6 bridge and set the file opening preferences to make sure they are set to PS CS6?

  • How do I import into Photoshop touch a PSD file from sketchbook pro mobile?

    How do I import into Photoshop touch a PSD file from sketchbook pro mobile?

    I don't believe you can at this time. The only way to get PS Touch to import a PSD is to upload it to Creative Cloud first (but even then it'll flatten any layers).

  • Can't open office files from my usb drive

    Dear forum
    Sins a few weeks ago i am not able to open office file from my USB-drive.
    However i can copy the file to the desktop and than i can open them.
    I have this problme only (for as far i know) with office files.
    greetings Ypkoba

    If the drive is NTFS format, the Mac can read, but not write thiose drives natively.
    So the issue may be that the temp file and the output file cannot be created on the same drive.

  • Importing PSD files from PC

    I have been trying to import layered .psd files from a PC. When I import them into DVDSP they show up as a QuickTime Picture with only one layer, instead of a photoshop file with multiple layers. Anyone else encounter this issue?

    Ask if they're saving the PSD with the compatibility mode selected. I can't recall exactly what it's called, but there's a preference for saving a "compatible" version of the file. What it actually does is save flattened version of the file along with the regular layers, for apps that can' read Photoshop's layers. Perhaps the file's been saved this way and DVDSP is reading the flattened portion instead?

  • Will iPhoto accept in its library a PSD file from Elements 12 Editor?

    I have Elements 12 on my Macbook.  I have duplicate libraries with the iPhoto library and the Elements Organizer.  I know I can set up a filing system with Smart Albums in iPhoto but I don't know if I use the Elements 12 Editor if iPhoto will accept a PSD file from that Editor.

    iPhoto doesn't like psd files from anywhere. JPEG and TIFF are the way to go. Why are you keeping duplicate copies of all your photos? Eventually you should choose one organizer or another. Aside from making you crazy, you'll run of disk space pretty fast, unless you have hardly any photos.

  • How do I reinstall files from a USB device to my computer,with Windows 7 on an HP G62-350 notebook?

    I backed up my files onto a USB flash drive before using system restore to restore back to factory settings. I now want to reinstall files from the USB storage device.

    There should be an .EXE file on the flash drive, probably Restore.exe. Click it to run and it will extract the files to a folder on the laptop.

  • Cannot emtpy trash containing a file from FAT32 USB drive

    Hi
    I had copied a .app file from another mac over a network to my FAT32 USB drive. I then deleted the file from the USB drive per normal it went to trash. The problem is that i cannot empty this one file out of trash.
    What iv tried thus far:
    - I tried restarting.
    - I tried dragging it back onto the USB and deleting again.
    - I tried dragging it onto my desktop, upon which it asked for my system password, and then deleting again.
    - I tried putting it back on the USB drive, restarting in windows XP, and tried deleting in windows.
    None of the above has worked. The file is Zero KB. Windows gave an error with something about the file is not completed...?
    Thanks in advance
    cheers

  • I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in music folder in finder and on iPhone/ipad with itunes match but not in iTunes?

    I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in finder in my itunes media/music folder and on my iphone and ipad with itunes match but not in the itunes library?

    Not working.  And it didn't used to be a problem.  iTunes can find the songs with Search Library, but doesn't show in any index (by song, artist or album).  Finding with Search Library offers to play or add to Up Next, but neither actually does anything.  Using File-Add to Library does nothing as well.  The only way I can get the new files to play is to find in Finder and Open with iTunes.
    I suspect Apple is trying to drive me to buy from iTunes store.  Not gonna happen.  If they don't fix this, I'll find another player.
    This worked fine before OSX 10.8.

  • Create simple layered .psd file from selected photos in PSE 10?

    I'm wondering if there is any way to take a group of photos -- either selected in Organizer or in Editor or in a File Browser -- and layer them all into a PSD file or drop them "in mass" onto a existing file in Editor.  I have two uses...one is to layer a bunch of tonemapped files from Luminance to create HDR art -- in this case, all the layers are directly on top of each other (and usually the same size), with the original on the bottom, then I adjust layer modes and opacity of the tonemapped versions to create art (this link is very out of date but gives you the idea: https://picasaweb.google.com/117811553538459876302/HDRPhotoMagic).  The other use is to create a scrapbook page -- I'd like to select a bunch of elements ("paper" -- textured 12x12 image, elements, photos, etc) and have them all added to a file so that I can move them around, etc. These will all be different sizes. Sometimes I have the page already (a layered template for example), and would like to drop in additional layers.
    Currently, I create a blank document, select my photos in Organizer, use Ctrl-I to open them all in the editor, and then drop everything one by one into my blank file, then close all the windows that I no longer need. However, it's cumbersome, and it seems the process could easily be automated.
    Any thoughts on how to make this easier?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Open the script into Notepad and add the lines as shown in the screenshot, then save the script as a .jsx file instead of a .js file to your desktop.
    Then move or copy the script to the pse 10 presets scripts folder, start or restart pse 10 and the script should be listed under the File>Automation Tools menu.
