Files keep getting corrupted.

Heavily used, shared, files keep getting corrupted. Seems like StarOffice8 or Solaris (not sure which is responsible) doesn't do file locking! If someone opens the file, when it's already open, there's no indication of that! Obviously that can lead to edits being lost. However, the bigger problem is if 2 people save at the exact same time. In that case the file becomes completely mangled and unreadable!
Anyone have some solutions out there?

The Captivate version number is shown at Help > About Adobe Captivate.  But you have to be quick because it's right at the top and the list of credits start's scrolling immediately.  Annoys the heck out of me.
Having Admin rights to your PC is not the same as Run As Administrator on an app.  It's one of the (many) changes to the Vista and Win7 OSs intended to prevent malicious software from gainin a foothold.
If you're in a corporate IT environment chances are you don't have admin rights to your PC because that prevents people from willy nilly installing apps on their own workstations.  However, a good IT Support dude (who usually all DO have admin rights to everyone's computer) can usually configure the security privileges for a particular application to give you admin rights to it.
In the case of Captivate 5x and Win7, the app MUST be set up to Run As Administrator.  Otherwise some things just don't work.

  • Captivate 5 files keep getting corrupted

    Our entire office all got Windows 7 (64 bit) and a lot of coworkers' Captivate 5 files are getting the same error message: the file is unable to open, the file is damage, hard disk not having space, etc.
    Are we doing something wrong? If so, how we do correct that?
    Or is there some compatibility issue between CP5 and Windows 7??

  • Photos keep getting corrupted in Lightroom Catalog - Help!

    Photos in my LR Catalog (usually over a year old) keep getting corrupted.  When I go to a dated folder, a strip comes up with the photos. Some of them are fine, some of them have an "!" on the photo saying "An error occured when working with this file."  So I try to "EDIT IN PS."  It will allow me to choose "Edit a Copy" and so when PS tries to open it, the error message says "The document may be damaged. File may be truncated or incomplete."  I open anyway, and it shows fine 2/3 or 3/4 of the way down, then it gets chunky....like someone cut off the bottom of the photo and bumped it up a bit.  I will attach a photo.  HOW can I keep this from happening???  I have my catalog on a Seagate external drive because my laptop can't handle all the space it would take up.  I always wait until it says I can eject, although it almost NEVER says that, even after being left for HOURS, so I shut down the computer, then unplug the hard drive.  I would love some help, because this keeps happening!!!

    I tried opening one of the affected photos directly into Photoshop without using LR first.  It looks like this.

  • Envelope or Indexing keeps getting corrupt even after mutliple imports

    Similar to the Mail has Gone Nuts post, the indexing for Mac Mail 2.1 on Tiger 10.4.10 keeps getting corrupt although I am not using a .mac account which is what most of that particular post is centered on. I say corrupt as my inbox will say it has several hundred messages but will only show a few messages. I am trying to clean the mailbox up by moving email, deleting, etc. After awhile I cannot move messages out of the inbox to another folder - even when I try to move one email. I can create a new mailbox for archiving but I still cannot move. I ran the disk permission utility to make sure it was not a permission error. After a bit all the mail in the inbox disappears. I delete the envelope file, import to create a new one, and everything is fine for awhile. Then same cycle. Is anyone seeing the same issue or have any clues as to how to fix?

    I got on the phone with Apple. We created a test user account and established an identical mailbox with our ISP. The email was downloaded and then it disappeared again when I clicked on the sent email box. Nothing else was loaded. So I was told it was an OSX issue. Reloaded that and mail seems to work now. Have a few other issues now but making some progress.

    I am having an issue in PS CS6 (on a Mac) where in the middle of working on a file, it gets corrupted by filling in a grid of squares in my layer masks as well as deleting out those same sections of misc layers throughout the file. I have reset the preferences, cleaned up the file. Renamed it to another file and 2 weeks later it is doing the same thing. Luckily I had my main subjects as smart objects and it saved them. This second time I just closed it out and opened it again and it is fine. Anybody else have an issue with this? Also it runs really slow these days on my MacBook Pro Retina 2.6 Core i7 with 16gb Ram.

  • The password file is getting corrupted after rebooting the standby database

    Hi,
    The password file is getting corrupted after rebooting the standby database.
    Since the databases are not in sync, I had to copy the pwfile from primary to standby to make 'em sync.
    (BUT.... the pwfile is not getting corrupted every time I reboot the standby by)
    Could somebody please explain the reason for the pwfile on the standby database getting corrupted while rebooting ?
    Env: Oracle 11g on Windows 7
    Thanks in advance

    Moderator Action:
    This thread was originally posted to the Oracle/Sun Servers HARDWARE forum.
    This is definitely not an issue related to any hardware components.
    ... it's now moved to Database General Questions, hopefully for closer topic alignment.

  • When forwarding Word or PDF Files they get corrupted

    I have several users that when they forward either a word document of a pdf file they get corrupted.  If I forward directly from Outlook (2007) they are perfectly fine. 
    Anybody know what is happening?  We tend to send a lot of word/pdf files.
    Thanks

    Okay, let me be specific here.
    I have:
    Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 fully installed and licensed to this computer.
    I also have an older version of Robohelp 7 installed.
    Both have all the updates done.
    The machine also has:
    MS Office 2003
    and the updated Adobe Distiller program.
    What I want to do is to "print" - IE, generate - a Word document version AND a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project.
    (Ignore this part, because this is not the issue. The generation of the files is the issue. Nothing else. The block, and the problem is that I cannot get Word or PDF files to generate from Robohelp 8.)
    What I will do with this is convert the Word doc BACK to Robohelp 7, AND import the Word doc in FrameMaker.
    (But again, we do not care about what I'm going to do with the files. The end result is not important. What is important, again, is:)
    I cannot "print" - IE, generate, a Word document AND/OR a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project from the generate dialogue box.
    I'm hoping that this clarifies the issue, since there are no add-ons to what I'm trying to do here. I'm not dancing the angels around the head of the legacy pin, I'm not trying to open a R8 in R7, I'm not trying to cure cancer or shoot a bulls-eye at 1,200 feet.
    I am trying to "print", IE, generate, a Word document OR a PDF from my current Robohelp 8 environment and cannot do so.
    (Sorry for the excessive description, but it looked like we were branching off into realms that weren't the problem at all.)
    In response to Peter - I did try a sample project, and the same issue occurs. When I click "Printed Documentation" in either of the projects, a popup comes up that says "Parameter is Incorrect". This is an unmodified item that I'm opening - stock off the installation.

  • Why my drive keep getting corrupt?

    I have a MacBook Pro 17" (February, 2011). I run it with the stock Thoshiba hard drive for most of is life. One month ago the mac crash and drive was corrupted and it could not be repaired. I tried disk warrior, apple utility tool and fsck -fy. They all said my drive can't be repaired. The drive had no sign of being broke expect from being corrupted. For the sake of getting better speed I bought a SSD since I need to reinstall everything anyway. So I switched my Thoshiba drive for an OCZ vertex 3. Everything running fine for two weeks until the mac crash again and won't boot again. Tools all said again that the drive can't be repaired. I am pretty sure both drive are in working condition. So anyone have any idea why my drives keep getting corrupt? Do you think I am just really unlucky and I should get a third drives?
    Additional info:
    I was using Mac OSX 10.8.4 on both drives when they crash and get corrupt.
    I use mostly the mac for IOS app development (with monotouch) and play game on it like once a month

    how are you SURE both drives are working fine?  Did you try to format and test them on another computer?
    Id say unlucky yes. Toshiba drives are made by Hitachi, are the best conventional HD, but they all fail. there are only 3 HD mfg. on earth.
    best SSD are sandisk and samsung.

  • Why do disk permissions keep getting corrupted?

    The disk permissions on my Macbook Pro keep getting corrupted and I have to run the Disk Utility Program to repair them.  What is likely causing this issue? 

    If you see permissions appear to be repaired again, it could be among those that can safely be ignored:

  • My ipod keeps getting corrupted and I have to reset it

    My ipod keeps getting corrupted, and I have to keep resetting it. I have owned four ipods. Yes that's right. Four. I have been returning them but every single one does this. It is the same every time. I press the middle button when "Music" is selected, and the device completely shuts off when I do this and goes to the Apple icon. If I press play, then it will play songs, but only at random, and I cannot access my playlists. I have to reset the ipod to fix this problem. What's going on with this?
    ipod Nano   Windows XP  

    Im not sure EXACTLY what would cause this, but if you have had 4 nanos do the exact thing, its either a issue with the nanos being sold at the place your getting them at, like the local store in your area, or its a issue with your PC. I know some people report a issue with a certain malware program that sneaks on there system and causes havoc with the iPod service and in turn causes weird things with there pod.
    The iPOd Service is a program that runs in the background of windows and, in basic terms, acts like the "Middle guy" translating things from the PC to the pod.
    Scan your system for any viruses with a antivirus program and scan for malware with Ewido http://www.ewido.net/en/download Then download install and run the latest iPod updater on your nano here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • Psd files are getting corrupted

    Hi
    I am using PSE11 on a Mac, and have experienced PSD files getting corrupted twice now.  They are digital scrapbooking files, where I have started with a layered PSD file 'template' and personalised it (with lots of effort!).  I save it and close it.  Later I try and reopen it and it will not open.  The Adobe Photoshop Elements dialog box says 'Reading Photoshop Format' but it just gets stuck - the progress bar does not move beyond 1/3.  This is really bothersome as last time it happened I had no option but to start over and redo the layout.  Any ideas or suggestions as to why or how this might be happening?  What could I do about it?  I am reluctant to reinstall PSE, as I prefer version 11, have no disc, and last time it took many calls to Adobe to be directed to a place where I could download it (they kept telling me I would HAVE to buy the latest version.
    Thanks, J

    A little more info about the files and just how you're saving them would help, as would info about your version of PSE. What color space are the files? Have you reset your PSE preferences?

  • Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

    I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

    I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
    1.     I open an acrobat file.
    2.     I open a WORD file.
    3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
    4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
    5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
    I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
    Please help!
    Thank you

  • Captivate Version5.5: Can not open files, keep getting an error

    I have been trying to open a file I downloaded from a training site and keep getting this error:
    Can anyone help?

    Hi there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community.
    It seems that these files were created using Captivate 6 or 6.1. If they are being created using a version later that yours, they will not open.
    Thanks!

  • Cert8.db keeps getting corrupt?

    I get this message all the time?
    Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
    The only way I have found to fix this is deleting the cert8.db file. This is happening so often that I can no longer use FF anymore. Why is this file getting corrupt? I have plenty of disk space on this machine so that is not an issue.

  • Recycle Bin keeps getting corrupted

    Hi Everyone,
    Like many other threads here we are experiencing that the Recycle Bin is getting corrupted. We've already tried the basic troubleshooting like remove the Recycle Bin and disabling the Recycle Bin. However every reboot or at a point in time the Recycle Bin
    gets corrupted again. Let me tell you something more about the environment to give a better view on the problem.
    The problem is occuring on a Windows Server 2008 R2 which has been virtualized on a Hyper-V host which is a Windows Server 2012 R2. The VM exists of two VHDs (not VHDX). One for the OS (which is set as a IDE Device) and one for the DATA (which is set on
    a SCSI Adapter). Both disk have the Recycle Bin enabled, but the corruption problem only occurs of DATA (F:\) disk.
    We've tried the following approaches for a solution, however with no luck:
    Run the command:    rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin
    Configured the Recycle Bin to directly delete files on F:\ (bypass Recycle Bin)
    Executed a CHKDSK /f /r (online and offline [VHD mounted in OS of the Hyper-V Host]
    Executed a SFC /scannow on the OS
    And since all of that didn't give a solution, we've decided to copy all the data from the DATA VHD, except the SYSVOL and Recycle Bin folder to a brand new VHD. Set the NTFS as needed. Rebooted, worked for a day, same problem got back.
    So after that we thought it has to be a process/software/service which triggered a delete and gets the Recycle Bin corrupted. So we started ProcMon to give us more insight. But this seemed a bad idea because we can't tell when or reproduce the problem so
    ProcMon generates to much information.
    Now before I'm going any further on troubleshooting, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who experienced the (exact) same problem. Or someone that can give a push in the right direction.
    Thanks for reading and many thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Joey
    I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

    Hi Joey,

    You may run the command "rd /s /q Drive-Letter:\$Recycle.bin " , in your case the issue happens to F:\ then the command is "rd /s /q F:\$Recycle.bin "
