Error message: unexpected end-of-file in Photoshop CS4

"could not complete the command because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered"I just started getting them tonight. It happened when I opt-doubled clicked on an image in Dreamweaver to edit in Photoshop. Now it pops up on every image. I just reinstalled Photoshop CS4 and Bridge today. Help!

Check your scratch disks for fragmentation ( use something like disk warrior ) and available space. Sounds like the files are not getting completely saved.

Solve: IOERROR: reading message: unexpected end of file

Well, actually, maybe I should not put "solved" but "worked around".
In my case, I had just installed my server. It is a Quad G5 and I had to do a hard time installing it because my DVD was 10.4 and would not boot in the G5. I've posted the process I used here:
http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=267517
Since it was a new install, I finally just stopped Mail services. Rebooted. Then I removed /var/imap and /var/spool/imap. Did a mkdir of those two directories. Change the owner/group to cyrusimap/mail. And then did:
sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/tools/mkimap
Before I did this, I went into my mail client (Mail on the client computer) and emptied and deleted everything on the imap server. I even deleted the mail account from within the Mail client. There seems to be some confusion over the cache maybe.
Oh... I also deselected all my users from receiving mail. Rebooted a few times... held up a dead black cat... chanted quietly. Did the mkimap, and finally got all my 'end of file' problems to go away. I had to keep doing it a few times before I got the whole sequence right. Under no circumstances should you chant quietly before holding up the black cat... boy is that a bummer to fix.
In short, I find postfix and cyrus to be extremely poorly designed (or maybe its just the Apple implementation of it). Pretty soon, we will be like running Windows...

Re: Need help: error message "reached end of file while parsing"

You are missing a closing brace "}" somewhere near the bottom half of your code.

well i just compiled the source that you have posted. it appears that you have declared a variable called "oper" within the Design method and tried to acces it from within the actionPerformed method (line 136). thats a scope error. one way to eliminate this error is to declare the oper var as global variable, i.e. along with the JButtons and stuff.
another error is at the same place , the last if block. you might wanna use only the equals method like oper.equals("minus"). another way is oper.compareTo.("minus")==0.
I believe this will hold for now. you may find the following stuff helpful, but probably you know this already.....
In order to view your applet you can use an html that looks something like this
<html>
<body>
<applet code="calc" width="400" height="400">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
to test it without a browser issue the command
java sun.applet.AppletViewer app.html
where app.html is the above html file and situated in same folder as calc.class file

Unexpected end of file message in Appleworks 6.2.9

I have an iMac that is getting the message unexpected end of file when I try to open Appleworks files. The user seems to be having alot of problems with Appleworks and I guess is closing out of Appleworks or it is crashing. Then when she tries to open the file she was working on, she gets the unexpected end of file message and the file will never open. I've tried running the file through the Appleworks Database Repair Utility, but it doesn't make any difference. This has happened to numerous different files, although if you create a new file the program still works. Has anyone come across this on OS 10.4.11? I've already reloaded her computer from scratch and 6.2.9 version of Appleworks seems to be the latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to open Photoshop directly, or open it by double clicking on a Photoshop document, like a PSD file? If the former, then you might need to reinstall. Resetting Preferences would be the firs step, but I am not sure if that will work if Photoshop is not opening in the first place.
Try doing so anyway. Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) while opening Photoshop. OK the message to delete Preferences.
If you get the unexpected end of file error while trying to open Photoshop via a PSD document, then there is more than a good chance that that file is toast.
If still stuck, we need to know Operating System, and Photoshop version.

Unexpected End of File Error

I am getting a Could not open due to unexpected end of file error messages on a bunch of jpg's I am receiving via email. The files open in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Often, file headers get smurfed. Photoshop is very critical of these headers.
JPEG's seem to be very sensitive to these errors. My trick is to open in a more liberal program, like ThumbsPlus, IrfanView, or PhotoImpact, and then just do a Save, keeping the JPEG compression levels low. This nearly always clears things up for PS.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unexpected end of file error on CS4, can I fix this or is the file lost?

I'm trying to open a Photoshop CS4 file, but it keeps giving me an error message saying "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered." A lot of hours went into this project. Can I fix this or is the file lost?

Oh man, I've been getting that too (with CS5). Unless I move my file off my computer at end-of-day, I show up and get this error. I'll be eager to see what an expert says… and sorry I can't help you out!

Could not initialize Photoshop because an unexpected end-of-file was encountred.

I have a problem with Photoshop, I can run it and work in it. After the start of reports this error message: Could not initialize Photoshop because an unexpected end-of-file was encountred.
I do not know we mopped PC, defragment, and uninstall of Photoshop installed. You do not know what to do?

Try resetting your preferences. If that doesn't work, consider a complete uninstall and reinstall.

What to do when Photoshop says could not import clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

I have PC, with adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and windows 8. Every time I open Photoshop it says: could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. If I exit the message I still cannot create files or open anything... any suggestions?

When you load Action and when you create new actions they are saved into you Photoshop Preferences into Actions Palette.psp. This File is read when you start Photoshop.
Apple and Microsoft both like to hide important files on users. Windows search and Apple finder will not find and show hidden files unless you change Mac and Windows setting. I you getting the error when you start Photoshop there is a shortcut to reset preferences. Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop you should be prompted to for an OK to delete preferences.
If this keeps happening perhaps you have a bad spot on your disk. Loaded actions are saved into that file so they should show up in the Actions Palette when Photoshop Start Up and read that file during start up. Photoshop Writes that file when you load action sets, when you record and edit actions and most likly also when you close down Photoshop.

Major problem with Photoshop unexpected end of file...

Every time I save a file in Photoshop, I have to save it twice per format (psd, jpg, etc...). That's because if I've ever saved the file before, I get an unexpected end of file error and the file disappears until I do a save as. I downloaded the latest update today and it claimed to have fixed major errors with Photoshop. I wonder what major errors exactly were fixed; and why not this one? As far as errors go, it's pretty effing major. It adds significant time to all of my projects and frankly, if I'm spending exorbitant amounts of money for "industry-leading" software, I expect to be able to save my work painlessly. Oh well, I guess it'll only be another couple months before I have to shell out another $1200 bucks for the CS6 right? Maybe then I'll be able to actually save my work.
p.s. CS2/3/4 did not have this issue - sweet upgrade Adobe, thanks.

Again, this is not a known issue. You are the first person to bring this up without a bad disk drive, and it is probably due to something on your file server.
Yes, other people get the same error message - because they are dealing with corrupt files for one reason or another. You are getting the message because the files are corrupt, probably because of an issue with your file server.
Photoshop CS4 and earlier used the Carbon framework on MacOS. Photoshop CS5 is written to the Cocoa framework/APIs and uses different OS code paths for many things. We have seen many cases where the Cocoa APIs had problems that the Carbon APIs did not. Unfortunately, if we cannot work around those API issues, then they are up to Apple to fix.
But in this case, I doubt it is an OS API bug as such. I suspect it is a change in the way the OS APIs interact with the file server.
And cases like this are high up on the list of why we say NOT to open or save from a file server -- you can get a lot of odd, difficult to diagnose errors because of problems on the server or network. Those problems have nothing to do with the application, but may appear to because of the complexity of file servers and networking.
Some Photoshop users do open and save off a file server all the time - without problems. When we test with file servers here inside Adobe, we rarely have problems (and the rare problem was due to a bad disk on the server). But we can't guarantee that everyone's network and everyone's file server is going to work perfectly - and evidence suggests that many of them don't work perfectly.
In short: you probably have a bad file server. It is highly unlikely that this is a bug in Photoshop.

File Error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

I saved a painting I was working on in photoshop for the past week, went to open it up this morning and got the following error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
I tried opening it up in other programs with no luck. Any suggestions?

Probably not good news I'm afraid. Hopefully you use Time Machine to keep regular backups of your work?
Have you tried to open the file in Graphic Converter (shareware application)?
I find file corruption practically non-existant these days. I would suggest that you maintain your machine. This can be done with Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html. Run all the tasks in the "automation" section of this application.
If you can do a drive check - checking your hard drive for physical issues might also be a good idea.
