Fixing a corrupted file

I seem to have a corrupted file. It takes 4 or 5 seconds for anything to appear when you try to type anything in and the panels take 5 or 6 seconds to appear when you change a tool. I've been working in other documents with no problem, it is just this one book.
I've tried exporting it out to an IDML file and reopening it, but it doesn't help.
Next I tried exporting it out to an ID Tagged Text file and placing that with the Shift key to autoflow it in and that seemed to work as far as the typing problem, but none of the graphic links imported and this is a 6 chapter book with hundreds of graphics!
Is there another way to import the content with the links into a new document that I am missing? (or a way to fix the original file?)
CS6, XP
Thanks in advance.

Hey Wright,
You might want to try steps in http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-indesign-documents.html
Usually these sort of errors come down to one swatch or a element in the document. Now it might be just as simple as creating a new book and adding back the document. Or as difficult as a corupt text frame or font in the document.
For your question about movung content you could try just moving pages from one document to another new document abd checking if that helps.

You can but it will not fix anything - you have a corrupted library = not an corrupted application

Fix for Corrupt File That Prevents Publish

Since last night I've been getting an error when trying to publish my site. The error is pointing to one of the background images in the template stating that the disk may be corrupt or that I don't have access rights or something like that. I couldn't seem to figure out how to fix this - I even overwrote the image file hoping to fix it, but nothing worked. I figured I'd reboot in the morning and see if the system automagically would clear it up.
Well funny thing... I use Super Duper for my backup application and it choked last night on the very same file that iWeb was. However, Super Duper gave me the actual path of the corrupt file.
| 04:30:38 AM | Error | SDCopy: FTS_NS error for item: '/Users/suzanne/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites/rptilev6-2.jpg' err: 22, Invalid argument
This seems to be some kind of secondary cache of images that iWeb uses to upload to .MAC. I opened up that folder, replaced the file with a new version and everything worked again.

Had the same problem, but with music only. Thank you for the information

InDesign - need a "Fix my Corrupted File" Upload Service

There are frequently posts on the forum for people who have corrupted INDD files. This means lost work and frustrated InDesign users.
The Indesign team should offer a "Fix my File" upload link to its customers.
For each corrupted file, you will help a customer, and in the process, hopefully improve the overall stability of the product (which has issues) and benefit everyone...
Adobe: If you are afraid that you will be swamped with requests to "Fix my File", then you should probably just get out of the SW business now...

Zak Williamson wrote: "If the documents are fundamentally corrupt in some way, theres no way to repair them." and then later "As I mentioned to Casey, it's rarely possible to repair a truly corrupt document"
I definitely don't want this to sound like a flame or a whine, but I find that statement quite flabbergasting. Somebody at Adobe must understand the format of an InDesign file well enough to be able to edit out the specific element that is causing InDesign to complain about the document. I do file repair for another company (www.qsatoolworks.com) whose file format is probably more complex than an InDesign file. In over 10 years I've only had 1 or 2 files I could not repair at least to the point of recovering the textual data.
What led me to this forum is that a customer contacted me to help them recover an InDesign file. They just migrated from a PowerMac G4 with CS2 to a Mac Pro with CS3 and a few of their files won't open. ("ID may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.")
We have tried them on another Mac with CS2, and they won't open there either. "Something" must have gone wrong when the files were transferred to the new Mac.
(Naturally, the old hard drive has already been reformatted.)
Knowing what I do about file formats (but understanding that my knowledge is nearly worthless in an InDesign file) I have to assume an InDesign file contains an object map with pointers to the various objects in the document. The idea of telling the customer "your 32 page booklet is lost" when the problem could simply be a screwed up pointer is horrifying to me.
Here at QSA ToolWorks we charge $120/hour for recovery service, success or failure. We've saved lots of people from their own recklessness, and created a passionate user base in the process. We've made our product more reliable (and fixed some bugs) based on the knowledge gained through file repair; Adobe could do the same, but if they don't want to provide such a service, perhaps they should consider training third parties to do it.
I'd like to address one other comment above. Harbs wrote "I've been lead to believe that Adobe has utilities (which they use internally) to analyze and possibly fix corrupted files." Of course, I don't know whether Adobe has such utilities, but I suspect they don't. Because I can do Helix database repairs, people likewise assume I have "special utilities" that can fix corrupted files. (We've even been accused of keeping them secret so we can use file repair as a source of revenue!) I don't. What I do have is a deep understanding of the file format. Beyond that, a file editor and a couple of AppleScripts I wrote to display the object fields in a human-readable format are all the 'special' tools I have. If Adobe has any sort of tools for analyzing files, I suspect they are much the same. In other words, without extensive internal knowledge, they are worthless.

Can i fix a corrupt file on my profile?

When i try and start firefox it shows the computer is thinking but then nothing happens. I tried restarting the computer, safe mode, and reinstalling firefox. None of this worked. I read a few help pages and found out it is probably a corrupt file. I logged onto my computer's guest profile and firefox worked. Is there any way i can fix my original profile. It would be really inconvienient to have to make a new profile. Thanks for any help!

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Fixing the corrupt file created when final cut crashes during a capture...

Hi, occasionally whilst I'm capturing from Digi Beta my G5 will crash on the end of the capture (the beach ball will just keep spinning until I have to force quit).
When I check the file I was capturing in my Capture Scratch it comes up as a huge file (usually around 700gb) with a '-av' added to the end of it's file name.
When I remove the -av, the file goes back to its original size but Quicktime player or Final Cut don't recognise it to open (though it does keep its Quicktime icon).
Usually I just delete this file and re-capture it but I'm just wondering if there's any way of fixing the file to save time?
Thanks,
Alex

I seem to have caought some kind of virus. Firefox says it cannot find the server for whatever site I have designated. I deleted and reinstalled to fix any corrupt files but the problem persists. Firefox simply does not work.

It will only open the firefox opening window, nothing else. If I put in my home page, Yahoo, it says it can't find the server. Same for any other URL. I fully deleted Firefox, including the FireFox folder in applications, and reinstalled to no avail.

Fixing Corrupt Files

I have Windows Vista and created another user account. When I tried to logon/open it I received the following error message: “The User Profile
Service service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be located.” I tried rebooting my computer with no success. I also tried System Restore with no luck in fixing the problem.
I then scanned for corrupt files using
‘sfc /scannow’ and received the msg "Unable to fix some corrupt files. Details in the
CBS.Log Windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example: C:Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log"
To identify the corrupt files that could not be fixed, I performed the following: "Click

I have some corrupted files on my OS9.2. hard drive that won't delete.

My computer is in three sections, the OS X is fine, but both OS9.2 drives are causing me trouble. The additonal OS9.2 drive is purely for music, but originally my audiophile card 2496 was installed on both drives. I had a problem with the sound on the small drive so I uninstalled everything and then reinstalled it all. The music records alright now, but when I close Cubasis it freezes on the small drive . When uninstalling all the music I found I couldn't delete all the audiophile card files that were on the main hard drive - they were in an invisible file marked usr (that is the spelling used) and the rest of the path was greyed out. I tried to delete them straight from Sherlock but to no avail. I am wondering now whether to reinstall the OS9.2 system on both hard drives but need to ask a few basic questions. When I do this will this fix the 'corrupted files' that are already there or will this cause more trouble. Will I lose all the work that I have already done on these files or should I make sure and do a back-up onto DVD just in case. How does one reinstall the Operating System? I have the disc but just not sure what to do as I haven't done it before. Will these corrupted files do more damage to the computer if I just leave well alone - it is a nuisance restarting the computer every time I use Cubasis but I would sooner do that than get into more of a muddle than I am in at the present.

Hi, peckerpac -
If I deep-wipe the drive what exactly does that mean?
That means the drive is effectively stripped of all data, including the removal of the disk directories. A file (or folder) that refuses to be trashable indicates there is probably damage to the directory. DiskWarrior usually can fix that; apparently not in this case.
Once the drive has been stripped, the initialization process creates a new structure on the drive so that it is usable for data storage, including new directories.
When you say I can't deep-wipe a partition, do you mean that the whole Hard Drive OSX as well will be deep wiped, or does it mean that only the OS9 part that needs it will be wiped?
A hard drive that has been partitioned has had its disk subdivided into two or more volumes. For most things the Mac will treat each volume as if it were a separate hard drive - each volume will have its own icon on the desktop; files can be copied from one volume to another; if each has an OS, each will appear individually in Startup disk control panel and in Startup Manager; etc.
However, although the Mac treats each partition as if it were a separate drive, they aren't - they are still part of the same physical drive.
A single partiton can be erased, for example by using the Erase function in the Special menu in OS 9. Unfortunately all that an Erase does is to delete entries in the disk directory - none of the data is actually removed, including the directories themselves.
A deep-wipe of the drive is part of a broader initialization of the drive; this affects the entire drive, meaning all partitions of the drive will be wiped of all data.
Will I lose everything when I deep wipe the drive?
Everything that is on that drive, on all partitions of that particular drive, yes.
As Grant noted, the Big System Morsels error usually indicates a problem with the machine being able to read the CD properly. Often that can be fixed by cleaning the CD. A Mac's optical drive is far less tolerant of smudges (fingerprints, etc.) on a data disk (such as an install CD) than it is with such on an audio disk.

SFC results show some corrupt files not removed/rectified

I have checked with System File Checker - SFC and the report states that Windows resource protection found some corrupt files in the system but could not be rectified or removed by it. How to resolve this issue. I have uploaded Event Viewer
report and named it evwr and sent this compressed file to Skype. Kindly help me to resolve/rectify this problem. Thanks. Vaidyanathan

Hi, Vaidyanathan
I suggest you follow these steps to solve this problem:
1. Run “chkdsk/r” to check whether the hard drive has bad sectors and repair it.
2. Sometimes you may need to try several times to run “sfc
/scannow”. If it does not work, you can try to run “sfc
/scannow” command at boot , the files may be locked sometimes.
3. You can also try to manually fix the corrupted file:
Here is a link for reference :
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/929833?wa=wsignin1.0
4.If the problem still exits ,please upload the log to OneDrive and paste the download link for further analysis.
<var>%WinDir%</var>\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
5.You can also choose to return system to a previous state at which your system is functioning fine with restore point. (please note that you will lose some recent settings )
6.

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?

How do i fix an itunes.exe - corrupt file?

need help gettin itunes running again. started up computer, opened itunes, greeted with an "itunes.exe - corrupt file" notice. advises to "run Chkdsk utility", but how? Also lost ipod a few weeks ago, so how else can i fix?

Assuming you have AVG then yes, a second patch has apparently been released to day which may resolve the issue. See this post for general advice.
If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't add it to the filename of the renamed file.
iTunes Library 2012-09-22.itl > iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library 2012-09-22 > iTunes Library
My advice has generally been aimed at Windows users, but if you have AVG on a Mac and that too suffers from this issue then it is worth nothing that at one point the iTunes Library on a Mac was stored without any extension. If you match the name of the empty library file you are replacing it should work.
