File may be corrupt ore not recognised by Powerpoint

My bosses powerbook, suddenly does not want to let him move some pictures from iphoto into powerpoint or word. It comes up with the message
'The file may be corrupt, in use, or of a type not recognised by Powerpoint'.
This is even on pictures that previously could be moved over ok. a number of pictures are ok, but new ones, which are from a new camera (none of these work), and some of the old ones don't transfer. I can look at all the the pictures ok in iphoto, preview, but can't in Office. If I open a problematic picture in Preview, and then 'save as' and overright the existing picture, then it will import it into Office programmes ok.
Has anyone else encountered something similar? Help!
I'm using Office X version 10.1.6

I don't think it's a permissions issue or you'd get a different message but try manually reset the ownership and permissions for the iPhoto Library folder as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
When you export a photo to the desktop can it be move it from there OK? Move one to the desktop and bring up the Info pane on it, Command-I. Then under "Open with" set Preview as the default application. Then click on the "Change all" button. Good luck.

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • The file may be corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

    I just put Vista Home Premium on a computer I was going to give to my son. Upon adding some hardware I kept getting the above screen. "The file may be corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.' When I booted in safe mode and slow boot, it hung on crcdisk.sys. I removed everything except the keyboard hhd dvd and fdd and it still does the same thing. I tried to reinstall Vista but it keeps hanging. From reading a lot of other threads this seems to be a big problem. I doubt if the product should have been marketed. But.... If anyone can help me get it booted I would like to try XP instead. I tried to install XP on the same drive and it hungs there too.

    Hi ballen6721,
    Thank you for the post.
    This issue can occur if the newly installed hardware device is incompatible with the system.
    Based on the current situation, I suggest trying the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
    Method 1 Device Clean Boot
    ============================================
    Please unplug all unnecessary devices such as sound card, printer, network card and TV card.
    Method 2: Startup Repair from the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
    ============================================
    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
    3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click Repair your computer.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next.
    6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on Repair your computer.
    7. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    8. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Startup Repair.
    Method 3: Use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to run System Restore ============================================
    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
    3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click Repair your computer.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next
    6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on System Restore.
    7. Follow the System Restore Wizard instruction and choose the appropriate restore point.
    8. Click Finish to restore the system.
    Note: If you computer is an OEM one, the method to enter WinRE can be different, you may contact your OEM to consult how to enter WinRE.
    Can we start the computer now?
    If the issue persists, please help confirm the following points:
    1. What hardware changes have you made recently?
    2. Can we enter Safe Mode now?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Best regards,

  • "This file may be corrupted"     error= -100000 help?

    I recently purchased an album and all the songs dowloaded except for one. I get a message that says the file may be corrupted. Anyone know why it might be doing this? Thanks

    Edit MyProject01 on day one, at end of the day "save as" MyProject02
    Edit MyProject02 on day two,  at end of the day "save as" MyProject03
    Start editing on day three, IF you at some time discover that MyProject03 is corrupt, and if autosave projects are also corrupt, open MyProject02 and IMMEDIATELY "save as" MyProject03a and continue editing so MyProject02 is still there as a reserve
    Also... are you running your "old" CS4 in WinXP compatibility mode in Win7?

  • HT203200 Whenever i open iTunes it tells me that 2 of my downloads cannot be completed because the file may be corrupted. I cannot get rid of this message or complete the downloads. Other downloads worked. What can i do to get rid of this warning message

    Whenever i open iTunes it tells me that 2 of my downloads cannot be completed because the file may be corrupted. I cannot get rid of this message or complete the downloads. Other downloads worked. What can i do to get rid of this warning message or complete the downloads?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • Ipod cable connection failed; also think Ipod file may be corrupted.

    I was able to purchase and download a song from ITunes today.
    It got to the hard drive, and then I was able to transfer it to the Ipod.
    But when I tried to play it, the screen froze.
    When I turned the computer off and turned it back on, I got an error message, something liked "dirty pool" and it said that Windows was being shut down.
    I turned the computer on again and couldn't get Windows to boot until I removed the USB cable.
    Since then, I cannot get the IPod to work.
    The computer is not showing that the Ipod is connected to it.
    When I run diagnostics, I get a "failed" message (a red dot) next to "Ipod connection cable".
    I have plugged the USB into at least three USB ports and get the same error message.
    I have tried pushing various combinations on the Ipod to get it to turn off, as well as toggling the Hold button. It will not turn off.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes twice.
    Because the computer doesn't "read" the Ipod, I cannot reset it or resync it. The Ipod is not listed under "devices" in ITunes.
    When I downloaded the song, there was a CD game in the CD player. It was automatically ejected at some point, I think it was after I tried to get the Ipod to work. I fear that may have corrupted the Ipod or something in the computer.
    Do I have any options, other than taking the Ipod in to be fixed? I just bought this on Saturday.

    Scratch that. I was able to fix it with the help of a good friend.

  • I download dmg files but cannot be open (not recognised). If I try try to use disk utility, it says the disk image unable to attach. Could someone pls help? Thnx

    Hi, I am trying to install some programs (on mac book pro mac osx 10.6.8) that are downloaded in "dmg" file format.  These are antivirus and security related programs.  Unfortunately when I try to open the downloaded file, this does not open and I get message it is not recognised.  I have also tried using Disk Utility but I get an error "unable to attach"l.  This just started recently.  I have downloaded the file several times but same problem recurs.  Thanks for your help
    PS: Other files directly downloaded from apple work fine.

    They screwed up the first Flashback removal tool very badly, locking several users out of their accounts permanently. It took a day or so for them to react and post a revised tool, but the damage had been done.
    They are one of several formerly PC only vendors who rushed to the Mac front back in the spring after the Flashback scare. I would advise giving all of those folks time to prove they really understand OS X before installing it on any of my Macs. There are several others who have proven themselves.
    Since you are running what I assume to be a fully up-to-date OS X 10.6.8 you are not vulnerable to any currently known malware capable of impacting OS X or other Mac software. That's no guarantee there won't be something new show up tomorrow, but the chances of any commercial anti-malware software catching it before Apple can react is pretty slim, IMHO.
    Now if you are concerned about Windows malware, that's a different story.

  • Word files attached in email are not recognised

    i have sent some word documents through yahoo email. when downloading the files in another computer (windows), the word files are not recognised and did not have an 'extension name' (if thats what they are called) such as ' .doc '
    I have set the computer (windows) to show the extension name, but the downloaded files did not have one.
    When opening the email using my iphone, it did not work as my iphone did not recognise the file type and said 'Mail cannot open this attachment'.
    Please help!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Well status as of now is :
    <b>GUI</b> : I am able to attach documents in BP properly. However after the documents are attached, when I try to open the attachment, it is not opening .txt files. Surprisingly it opens .Doc, .ppt, .xls & .pdf documents
    <b>PCUI</b> :  I am able to attach the documents properly.
    However when I open the document, it is not opening any type of file. I click on attached document icon and it just does not do anything. I mean no window pop-up or anything like that.
    By the way what exactly do I need to do in SICF transaction ? Can you please elaborate.
    Thanks

  • How do I download RAW pictures from a Panasonic TZ60 into Elements, keeps telling me file damaged or in format not recognised.

    I have just purchased a Panasonic TZ60 which is producing some good quality pictures. The camera can be set to save picture in jpeg, RAW and jpeg and RAW but I have been unable to download any RAW pictures into either iPhoto or Elements. Both programmes see the file but won't download and comes up with message saying file damaged or not recognised.
    I have tried just transferring RAW picture file to my desktop and then into Elements, still no joy.

    Thanks John
    Missed updating so went in search and found update path and that has resolved and can now pull in RAW, just need to crack iPhoto now and will be happy again.
