How do I repair a file read error

I have a file that refused to be backed up in my nightly backup (I'm using Carbon Copy Cloner). I suspect that the disk may be corrupted somewhere in that file's allocated space, but running Disk Utility from Option+Reboot does not show any errors for either Verify Disk or Repair Disk
The file itself (/private/var/log/system.log.1) is not terribly important, but if I delete it I'm worried that I will get an error next time that space on the HDD is used.
Previously I had noticed that my Mac was hanging for 5-10 minutes at a time - I realise now that it would have been while it was updating the system log (before it became system.log.1) . I don't want that to happen again
My question is, how do I delete that file and make sure that the errored sector never gets used again?

Did you run a repair permissions in Disk Utility to see if that fixed anything?
The only way I know to map out bad sectors is to back everything up and do a secure erase writing zero's to the hard drive. This resets the bad sector table for the hard drive. Then restore your system.

Video File Read Error

Dear DVDSP Brains,
I am using DVDSP3 and have created a DVD with several menus. Whenever I try and build it the log gives me the following error message:

Building was not successful. See log.
The clip it seems to have a problem with "Film Menu to MM Trans, Clip 3..." is - I think - a still that has been added to the end of a transition movie between menus. I added the still to allow a dissolve to occur into the next menu and its buttons. I'm not sure if my diagnosis is correct.
I have seached the forum and attempted to implement some of the advice given that might be relevant.
I have tried to re-encode the Film Menu to MM Trans.
I trashed preferences.
I deleted the PAR files (which oddly has now caused he disc to have 5.7GB where it only had 3.2 GB before !!!)
I am at a loss and trying not to panic.
Your help would be much appreciated!
Detsky

I deleted the PAR directories in both the directory where the DVDSP document exists, and in my user directory (~mr88cet/Movies/Gary's Live DVD2 Build). I also tried deleting that whole directory. None of those deletions helped.
I exported the first video fragment in that track. That also didn't help.
Not surprisingly, doing a "build" only didn't help.
Could you tell me more about how this could clarify a problem with importing one of my clips?

Did you download it using iTunes for Windows, or did you download it directly to an iOS device?

Adobe Lens Profile Creator - ERROR (Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred)

1) I have successfully created a lens profile for a Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 40mm 2.8 lens used in a Nikon D5200 Camera. For this I converted the raw .nef files to .DNG first using Adobe's DNG Converter.
2) When trying to create another lens profile using the EXACT SAME .DNG files as posted in 1), I am no longer able to create a lens profile because of the message "Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred". I am also unable to create any other lens profile using different photos.
3) I have also tried using a fresh install of Adobe Lens Profile Creator in another mac and I get the exact same error.
4) I AM ABLE to create a lens profile if I use .jpg files (generated from the same raw .nef files as mentioned) but this doesn't help because then the profiles don't show up when trying to open a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw.
Please help as this is exasperating.
Thank you.

Thanks! I had the same error message in Adobe Lens Profile Creator 1.0.4 for OSX and I found the problem to be the letter ö in the folder name for the DNGs. The lens is an old ISCO-Göttingen and the progress stopped at 2% with the mentioned error message. Changed the folder name and now it works!

How can I repair a File Vault sparsebundle?

Apple has directions for repairing a File Vault sparseimage under 10.3-10.4 here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2631
I couldn't find anything more up-to-date, so I followed those directions but using the different permissions setup in 10.5. Everything seemed to work fine up until it came time to mount the sparsebundle. It wouldn't mount. I could drag the sparsebundle into Disk Utility, but when trying to "Repair" or "Verify" I get this error message:
Unable to attach “testserver.sparsebundle”. (Operation not supported on socket)
\[DUDiskController viewablePartitions\] expecting DUDisk, but got nil
As I was typing this post, I figured out what to do. Being an Admin doesn't cut it; you have to be root. I did not find it listed online, so I'm jotting it here; do this instead of what Apple says:
1. Disconnect from the network (turn off AirPort, unplug Ethernet) because we're about to temporarily log in as root, which could leave us exposed.
2. To enable the root user, open Applications / Utilities / Directory Utility. Unlock the icon with your admin password, then choose "Edit menu > Enable Root User". If this is the first time, enter a password for the root user, or if you have forgotten your root password, choose "Edit menu > Change Root Password".
3. Log in as root: Log out of the current account, then in the blank login screen, enter "root" as the username along with your root password. Or, if you have fast user switching enabled, make sure you are logged out of the FileVault in question, then pick "Login Window..." from the user menu. If you aren't allowed to type in a user name, open System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options, then disable "Automatic Login" and by "Display login window as" pick "Name and password".
4. Mount the sparsebundle: From the Finder's "Go" menu, pick "Go to folder..." and enter "/Users/". Drill down to the sparsebundle inside your FileVault account, and double-click it to mount it. When asked for your keychain password, cancel. Then you will be asked for your FileVault account's password. For security, make sure the "Store this password in my keychain" checkbox is NOT checked. Enter your FileVault password. The sparsebundle should mount.
5. Repair normally from Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. The sparsebundle should appear as both a disk and a volume in the left pane of the Disk Utility. When done, quit, eject the sparsebundle and log out of the root account.
6. IMPORTANT: Log back in to a normal administrator account, open Applications / Utilities / Directory Utility, unlock it if necessary, then pick "Edit menu > Disable Root User". Lock the utility and quit.
7. If you disconnected from the network in step 1, it's okay to reconnect now.
From a security standpoint, it's best to leave the root user disabled. Most of the time, an admin user can get temporary root privileges; this just happens to be an exception.

Figured it out and shared solution.

How can I make Keynote files read-only (eg: to share with students)?

I would like to share some keynote files with students, and I would like to set them up as read-only, so that the students can tap the screen, read my presentation, but not alter it. I've tried to set the files up as read-only on my iMac desktop, but when I load the file onto my iPad, it's still editable.
Any ideas re: how to make Keynote files read-only?
I've tried to export the files as PDF and load them into iBook, but some of Keynote's basic "build" functions won't work this way. Specifically, I have files set up with questions and answers (ie - a question appears, and you have to tap the screen to see the answer, but this "build" function seems to disappear when I get it to show up in iBook).
Any ideas how to make Keynote files read-only? I am happy to use another program, but I want the students to tap the screen in order to see the answer to a question.
Thanks!

as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think). if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
/edit: added the "(i think)" part

How can I repair jpeg files that seem to be damaged in my iPad?

Hello everyone. I have an iPad 1 where I put some pictures using a PC and that were not sync by iTunes. Hope that makes sense, I did't use the iTunes rather just drop the folder with the pics in the iPad using a PC (like pretty much an external drive), I was able to see the pictures in my iPad without problems, even as I created the albums. Then my laptop was stolen and I lost all the original files. I want to recover those pictures but when I connect the iPad to my iMac it doesn't recognize the files by iTunes or iPhoto (only the ones that are in the camera roll, those saved from emails on the iPad)
I downloaded two different programs to try to import the pictures to my iMac and I can see the files but then I realized that those files are empty. The thumbnails show the images kindy of blurry but when I copy the files and try to open them it says is empty. In the iPad the pictures now appeared to be also blurry, this did not happened before, I saw the pictures last week and were perfect, I'm assuming that in the process of trying to find a program to extract the pictures the files were damaged somehow.
Please tell me there's a way I can repair those files! I have around 3000 pictures that otherwise are lost forever.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply. The pictures are blurry on the iPad too, if I try to email them from there the email shows the attached file as a question mark (?). I already try to take out the files with a PC without iTunes and I can't see the files there either. I only found the files with those two programs but the also appeared as empty files.
The question is if I can repair those files. Thanks a million.

How can I repair Canon Pixma MP550 Error B200?

How can I repair a Canon Pixma MP550 error 200?

Hi dlp1962uva,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are trying to install your Canon printer after replacing your hard drive on your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting by trying to install the drivers. I did some research on your printer, the Canon PIXMA iP6000D and it appears that this printer software is no longer available through software update.
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
Additional Information
Printer software no longer available through Software Update
The third-party vendor no longer provides software for the following models to download and install through Software Update. Contact the vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
The The Additional Information section where I found this information is at the very bottom of this article. This printer specifically is listed as a printer that is no longer supported by software update is the list under Additional Information. I would suggest contacting Canon to see if the printer drivers are still available through them.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

How to check a PDF file for errors?

I have created a PDF file manually. Adobe Reader shows an error message "The file is damaged but is being repaired." when I try to open this file.
How can I check, what is wrong with this file? Is there any checker or some way to examine the file and find an error line?

As of late 2009, there now IS a server-based PDF file checker. It's called pdfHarmony, and it uses the Adobe PDF Library to open and check PDF files, reporting the warnings and error messages that an Adobe Reader user would encounter.
