Error 27, corrupt FCP File

I closed down my titanium G4 last night, this afternoon i tried to open the project i was working on and i got a error 27 message, I just lost a month of work! needles to say like may FCP users we shut off autosave a month ago and have no backup! How can we repair the corrupted file? We have tried to repair using disk utlity after making a backup.
of course,the disk utility didn't work. We are trying Data Rescue X and Disk Warrior for OS9 to repair it. I hope it works. If anyone knows how to repair fcp project files i'd like to hear how you did it or what software or method worked for you.

Nathan,
Ouch. You've still got the source tapes around, right? Most likely DW can right your directory problems, but not the specific corrupted media. Your best bet is to do this after running your utility of choice:
1. Single out the bad media in your Finder. You'll know the bad ones because they won't preview in the Finder, nor play in QuickTime.
2. Note which ones they are and delete them.
3. Get the source tape(s), get 'em in the camera, and connect to your computer.
4. Re-open your project and batch capture the newly off-lined files. You can still do this because the project retains the IO info.*
*Big caveat is that your source tapes have proper timecode.
Best to you.

  • Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

    I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

  • Error insatllaing- corrupt installation file(s)

    After downloading iTunes for Windows (saved), installtion runs, then I get an message saying "some files are corrupt- download a fresh copy and try again".
    Tries, but no luck.
    Recently did a clean install on XP, but have yet to install SP2.Is SP2 required for install? Would that be causing the problem?
    Thanks

    I havent heard of that problem, yet. I don't know if it is that or not.
    I think its possible some sort of software that the installer is tripping over in your PC. This error message, actually, is more often caused by software conflicts than by "bad installation media or a corrupt installation file".
    I could see how bad RAM could possible cause that though, after thinking about it. Bad RAM will cause, mysteriously, issues when downloading software.
    IF you tried turning off the antivirus and firewall stuff, you could try swapping out the RAM stick for another one and see if that helps at all.
    Good Luck,

  • Outlook Express Error 0x800c0133 (corrupted inbox file)

    I use Outlook Express. I can send, but not receive. I have deleted the many emails that had never been deleted, but still can not receive. I have been
    told I have a corrupted Inbox file. Something about the Inbox.dbx, but I don't know or how to correct this error.

    It may be possible to fix the problem using these steps : 
    Open Outlook Express
    Click "Local Folders" in the left side navigation
    Select New Folder and name it TEMP
    If possible move all of the email from your Inbox to the TEMP folder
    Go to menu bar and select Tools -> Options -> Maintenance -> Store Folder and then write down the location of your
    inbox
    Close Outlook Express,
    Use My Computer to go to the location is step 5 and then delete the file inbox.dbx
    Open Outlook Express - The Inbox folder should be auto recreated.
    Move your email from the TEMP folder back to your Inbox
    I don't know if anyone is still looking for help with this error. It basically means you have too much saved
    email in the version of Outlook Express your are using. You may want to try some of the methods listed in
    Outlook Express Fix Toolbox
    Link to free demo version:-

    Hope this helps for people who are still getting this error. If you are getting it, I am sure you are dreading
    the fact you may lose 'A lot' of your saved emails. Good luck,

  • FCP files are damaged or incomplete

    When i went to open FCP today it came up with a box saying, "You can't open the application Final Cut Pro because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    It is still in my applications folder. But wont open. I tried going into time machine and restoring what files i could find and recopying them onto my HD just in case something was missing. Same thing.
    Strangely Compressor doesn't work either. it has a question mark on the link for the dock. spotlight cant find it either.
    Motion 3, and DVD Studio both work fine.
    Sadly the disks are not with me right now. So an easy fix is not to reinstall right now.

    I have FCP 6 and a few other pro apps installed on my MacBook Pro 15" everything was fine. Today I went to install the rest of the Pro apps Motion 3, Soundtrack Pro and after the installation FCP could not be launched and the dock icon was grayed out with a circle and slash thru it and the error message was FCP files are damaged or incomplete. I'm installing again but the installer won't let me just install FCP 6. All the other apps are fine, including the ones installed today. Help please.

  • 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-

  • Error -32810 occurred at The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi

    I have two cFP-2120 RT controller. They both have NI-Serial RT2.5.6, DataSocket for LV RT4.2, NI-VISA 3.6, FP Drivers 5.1.0, FP VI Manager 3.1.0 LV RT 7.1.1 installed. But one same vi can run on one controller but not another.
    the error message got when it runs on another controller is "Error -32810 occurred at  The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi"
    I wonder by what it is caused?
    Thanks

    Hi Matthew,
    As mentioned previously, this KnowledgeBase article may be of some help. Also, if your code is being run on an embedded controller and then a network controller (not embedded), you will need to run the program differently. On the embedded controller, you should deploy your VI in a Project Explorer or programmatically (as described here.) However, you do not need to deploy the program to a network controller, but simply run the VI.
    I would also suggest creating a new .IAK file. Do you still see the same error? Also, double-check that the software installed on the controller matches the software installed on the host PC. If you have any file paths associated with one FieldPoint controller, ensure that you are changing them to match the second controller.
    Please keep us posted on your troubleshooting steps. Have a great day!

  • Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file?

    Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file, but under my preferneces & under my devices, there is no old backup file to delete, so I can't delete a corrupt one if i dont have any?!

    I know this is a late reply was wondering if you had the problem still as I have been having this problem for many months.  Today I was looking around getting ****** off why it was not working and I found my culprit and thought I would see if it would help you.  Not sure if you, like me, changed your itunes media store location somewhere other than the default location.  What I noticed was in Users>UserName>AppData>Roaming>AppleComputer>MobileSync there was a backup folder with a shared link icon on it and when I double clicked on it windows promptly brought up an error that its location was not valid.  So I figured since it was not valid and I did not have any backups anyways I deleted the folder and then went to itunes and tried a sync and it worked perfectly again.  The backup folder was re-created properly and the stupid corrupt error went away.

  • Cannot open corrupted .mov file - error 2048 unsupported format

    Hi all,
    I have an important corrupted video file and I have tried every way I can think of to open it, but to no avail...
    When I open it with Quicktime, an "error 2048 unsupported format" shows up, even though other videos I took are fine.
    I can't open this video with ANY softwares including VLC and friends (trust me, I tried LOADS of them)..
    After doing MUCH research I understand that either the header/closing part of the file is messed up.
    Is anyone able to teach me how to fix those parts?
    I'm really at the end of my wits and I'm a just beginner to hex-editing @.@ Better still, if you are able to take a look at this video for me...
    I'll be very glad if anyone can help me out with this as I really wish to recover the video, this is for an important friend, thanks in advance!
    P.s. the video is about 120mb in size

    Hi
    Im using the tool called SUPER.
    Its free and you can convert any file format to any other file format
    Maybe it would be possible to convert his faulty file to another format and ten you could try to open it again using VLC player or other application.

  • HELP! InDesign corrupting old files ERROR CODE 5

    I have had Indesign for over a year and used with no problems until about a month ago. I created a flyer, saved and closed it and when i went to reopen it i got the error message saying: the file [filename].indd is damaged and cannot be recovered (Error code 5). I was frustrated because i had to redo it, but what is even more frustrating is that it seems like this is happening to EVERY file i open and close (old or new) which means I have lost a lot of large files (books in fact) because of some problem with indesign. I desperately need help to fix this. I work on w windows 8 computer using indesign cs6.

    Would the font have to be used in the document that was opened? Do you know how i find a corrupt font?
