FCP crash from corrupt file

Here's what I think led to the corrupt file. I have a SAN on an old MacPro using Tiger Technology. I opened the san location on one machine (Edit A), and continued logging some footage that I had been logging on a different machine (Edit B). (I had logged out of that machine, so it wasn't running.) I took a break from logging on Edit A, but left FCPX open, and logged into Edit B. Edit B automatically loaded the SAN location that I was logging (although I didn't realize it right away.) When I noitced, I removed the SAN location from Edit B. Eventually I went back to logging on Edit A, and finished up for the day and logged out.
This morning when I came into work, I logged into Edit A to continue, and FCP crashes. When I hide the SAN location I was working on, I am able to get FCPX to launch. The back up file that was generated causes FCPX to crash as well. I've tried running it through the Digital Rebellion apps with no luck. Does anyone know of a way to restore the event file. I have over 3 days of work invested in the logging that I am going to have to completely redo. Thanks for any help!!

I've had this problem with QuickTime movies in the past when they were accessed from shared storage from two different computers at once. Running DiskWarrior on the volume fixed the problem for me whenever it occurred so that's definitely worth a try.

FCP crashes using MOTION files

Hi
85-min doc mostly shot by amateur camera person, wobbly, not steady, hand held...so 75% of the shots I brought to MOTION to stabilize, then brought those into FCP timeline...only 1/3 of the way through this process and FCP crashes every 5 minutes, then takes at least 5 minutes to open up again (relaunch), my 85 min timeline now won't render, says it's out of memory (using MAC PRO 3.0 with 8GB RAM)...crashes, some MOTION files turn orange in the canvas, then beach ball , then FCP crashes...what to do?
Thanks
K

try rendering the movies out of motion, and then import them into the FCP project instead of rendering the Motion files in the timeline. Leave the motion files in the timeline, but disable them (right click on them in the timeline and deselect clip enable). That way, if you need to go back in and tweak them, you can still open the motion file from the timeline, make your changes, re-output a movie file from Motion (save as same name and it will re-link) and you'll find the workflow quite easy.

Apple store wiped HD and reinstalled Software. Need address book from corrupted files on Time Machine. How to get?, Apple store wiped HD and reinstalled Software. Need address book from corrupted files on Time Machine. How to get?

Had corrupted (?) files and Genius Bar wiped HD and reinstalled all software. Need my address book from Time Machine, but cannot allow whole time machine to get to my HD as the corrupted files are on it also.
They wiped HD 2 days ago and I came home and plugged in TM and immediately had corruption again, so had to return to Store for a 2nd erasure. Now can't locate my Address book on TM.

FCP crashes with JPG file

I've tried this on 3 different Macs so I know it's not hardware related. Anyway, I have a very large jpg file (2.7 MB, 4018 x 5206 in size). Importing the file itself is fine, but when I bring it into a sequence as a background to a keyed out piece of video, FCP will instantly crash.
I am suspecting it is because the jpg file is too big. The reason I have to import the jpg in this size is because the client wants the jpg constantly moving while it is zoomed in. Is there another way I can do this?

I wonder if there's something corrupt with the jpg file? Try doing a "Save as..." under another name and see if that file works.
You shouldn't be having these problems with FCP, so I don't think Motion is necessarily the way to go. I did a quick search ("jpeg crash") through the FCP forum and came upon this disucssion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3590555&#3590555
Check this and look into other FCP discussions that might help...
Hope that helps!

For those newly reading this thread.
1) The original problem reported was due to a malformed GIF from a buggy release of Corel Draw. An update to the image decoder within Muse was sensitive to this type of malformed GIF and crashes. We've fixed that for a future update of Muse. In the future this type of malformed GIF will be rejected by Muse. I removed the GIF from dsignsd's file using internal development tools and returned the repaired file.
2) The 3125 error is completely unrelated. A 3125 error can occur when launching after a crash due to the OS failing to have released the locks on the files that were open during the previous Muse session. When a 3125 occurs, relaunching a second time works, since the locks are cleared by then and the recovery data has been discarded. We're working on changes to workaround this variable behavior of the operation system to avoid 3125 errors in the future.
3) A 3125 error alone tells us nothing about the cause of the original crash. What's important it what error(s) was reported as part of the initial crash and/or what actions were being performed.

Lightroom 4 is crashing and corrupting files. it also crashes my entire system sometimes. I'm on windows 7 64x, Intel 5 4670, 16gb ram.

I've tried reinstalling it. Didn't help. It crashed when I was exporting 111 photos, then I only did 20 at a time and it didn't crash, but it crashed 4 times while I was editing the session. What should I do?

I tested it, its fine...my whole system is fine. Lightroom is the only
program that acts like this. Otherwise my system is good to go.What else?

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

How to find corrupted file causing problem with FCP?

I couldn't use Log and Transfer of FCP 7.0.3 for AVCHD from Canon Vixia.
By starting from different user account Log and Transfer worked which means I have a corrupted file in the directory of original user account causing the error of Log and Transfer. What will be the easiest way to find the corrupted file?
Milan

If the new user acct test allows you to work with the software, it usually means a dead pref file. The easiest way to deal with these issues is to run Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager software (free) to delete the preference files in FCP.
Open it up and look under the FCP settings in the Advanced tab. It gives you the option of selectively deleteing the various pref files associated with the app.
First back up all your FCP prefs then start deleting them one by one. Once you figure out which one is the problem, restore all the others.

Can iMac not waking from sleep be caused be a corrupt file

I have had my 27" iMac from July of 2011 (running Montain Lion, 8 GB RAM, 2TB hardrive, 3.4 GHz,Intel i7) for over a year and a half and ever since I bought it, it has had a problem waking from sleep. I can hear the computer running, but when I click the mouse, keyboard, or power button, it stays asleep and I am forced to do a hard shut down. Apple has been trying to fix the issue, but to no success. They have replaced the hard drive, logic board, usb ports, RAM, mouse and keyboard, but it still happens. They finally threw in the towel and are replacing the machine. They offered to transfer all of our files (jpgs, mp3s, docs, videos, etc), but one thought occurred to me... what if the sleep issue is caused by a corrupt file? I highly doubt that is the case, but wonder if any of the experts out here would know better than I.
If we didin't have the data transfered, we would just keep it on an external hard drive instead. But, I would assume that it wouldn't matter if the files were on internal vs. external because either way, the computer would access the files. That being the case, if the sleep issue was caused by a corrupt file, the computer would still access it on the external and the sleep issue would resurface.
So, 2 questions:
Can a corrupt file cause the sleep issue?
If it is true that a corrupt file can cause the sleep issue, would it matter if the corrupt file was accessed from an external drive vs. internal drive?
Thanks so much!
Chris

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Corrupted file unable to remove from trash because it is running. Unable to shut it down.

I had recently converted some video tapes into dvds as well as disks that I could download onto the computer. I did not realize that I installed a dvd into the drive instead of the downloadable disk when I asked the computer to download the files. Instead of not performing the task, the computer partially download the dvd. Now I have this file on my desktop and when I put it into trash I can't remove it from trash because it is running. In other words there is a corrupted file that I have no way of stopping or deleting. Any suggestions? I could leave this file alone but since it is running I'm not sure how much memory it is diverting.

What is the name of the file? If you open Activity Monitor, set to All Processes, then is it displayed in the Name list?
Restarting kills all running processes. If this is not a system file, then you have it installed somewhere that is launching it automatically upon startup. You should look in your /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/ folder or your /Library/LaunchAgents/ or /Library/LaunchDaemons/ folder for a file related to this one. Until you kill that one you will not be able to delete the one are having trouble deleting.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

Please help! My Itunes says corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling so I moved it to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I can't delete or open to close it, what do I do

Please help!
My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

Importing users into WGM from csv file issues/crash

Hi,
i've been importing user information from csv files into WGM via the +server > import+ function .
It worked the first few times but now when i try the import progress bar pops up and promptly disappears without any thing importing.
i've tried restarts, new admin account, reinstalled WGM.
I've also trashed some pref but i don't really know which ones i should be losing.
The servers an OD master.
any help would be appreciated.
as a last resort what do i need to backup/save if i were to format/reinstall osx server? keeping my settings etc.....
thanks
paul

What I did was:
Exported the user list, to create an XML file in the correct format.
Using this format, I created a spreadsheet in Excel (sorry Apple), and in the final column I created a field that concatenated the information I wanted in the ':' deliminated format of the previously export XML.
Then just copy and past via pico into a pure text file and imported that.
You have to be careful with comments in Passenger, using special characters (';!@#$%^ and others can cause the WGM to fail and crash.

How do you separate corrupt files from good files on a external hard drive importing them to my macbook pro

how do you separate corrupt files from good files on a external hard drive importing them to your macbook pro

You open them one at a time into thier respective programs and see if they are good or not and then send the bad ones to the Trash and the good ones to the appropriate folder.

Save as PDF from Print - corrupted file ?

I have been saving to PDF copies of the same web page since 2010. I've only just realised that all the files saved since December 2012 have been corrupted in some way. They are all viewable and will print normally but, the Find function in Preview cannot find any text within those files (not even a single letter). Similarly, Spotlight cannot find any text in those files.
If I double-click on a word in one of those files, only the nearest letter is selected. I can copy text from these files but, when I paste that text into another application, I get unprintable characters. They are all ASCII 252. If I copy and paste from the web page (instead of the saved PDF), I get normal text.
It looks to me that the Quartz renderer is corrupting all text in the print to PDF function. The change occurred between 22/12/12 and 5/1/13 when I upgraded from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.8.2. So, I think the bug was introduced in either 10.7, 10.8.1 or 10.8.2. I'm now using 10.10.1.
Has anyone encountered this issue ?
Thanks.

YES!!!!!!!
I was pulling my hair out last night over this. I noticed the Find function was not working properly. I KNEW there was something in the PDF and Preview was not showing it. I spent 2 hours trying to find someone with a similar Find function problem, but could not find much. Also, it could not copy and paste text. I KNOW it worked before because I had taken notes on this particular PDF and had copy and pasted whole paragraphs for myself into Pages. Which is what got me searching online tonight.
I re-downloaded the same PDF. When first opened in Preview, the Find and copy/paste functions worked. Same thing in Acrobat reader and Acrobat Pro. After confirming this, I re-opened it in Preview, highlighted some text and closed. It asked to Save Changes and I did. I immediately re-opened it, and guess what? Find no longer works and neither does copy/paste. Just to be sure, I tried re-opening in Acrobat reader and Pro; same thing. No copy/paste, corrupted Find feature. Well, copy/paste sort of functions, its just that it pastes a square with an alien head in it that says "Private Use 100000 Plane 16".
And finally, on some PDFs that have not even been saved in Preview, the Find function is not working properly also. It happened on the re-downloaded PDF I just talked about. It finds many instances of the word, bit the left and right arrows next to "Found on X# Pages are greyed out and do not move through the document. Once I go to the left pane that displays page thumbnails and click on a few different ones, THEN it starts working.
So yes, Apple, Preview is corrupting PDF files upon save, AND it is not working properly on other files. Please fix this. PLEASE.
And my specs are the same as Gary; iMac 27 inch Late 2009, Yosemite 10.10.1. Is ANYONE else having this issue with a different Mac?

Possible corrupt file...Final Cut crashing

Running final cut studio 2. I have an HDV documentary with roughly 460 hours of footage spread over an Xserve RAID and six glyph drives. The project keeps failing after trouble shooting and splitting the project over six smaller "chapter" projects.
Could this be a corrupt file? If so how do I search for it? Also, have there been a lot of problems with people using glyph drives and HDV projects.
Thank you

460 hours is a lot. A whole lot, no really, like, lots!
One way you might be able to search for the bad media file would be to temporarily take the media drive offline, open the project, and re-mount the drive to reconnect the clips when the project comes up with the missing files dialog. This will at least alllow you to reconnect files or whole folders one at a time to help narrow it down.
Also, if the problem just surfaced recently, you may be able to go to a previous version or autosave to get back to the point at which the project was able to open.
When you say failing, failing how? crashing, not opening, won't play, locks up? can't export?
