I am having issues when I shoot raw + jpeg. Raw files seem corrupt!!

I am having issues when I shoot raw + jpeg.  It seems the raw files get corrupted.  I have shot raw without an issue.  It is only when I shoot raw + jpeg.  The raw files will not show in Photoshop elements.  I installed the Canon software and was able to see all the raw files; however, I noticed that when I tried to view some full screen they would not show.  I also noticed that these raw files look block-ish.  They appear more digital looking.   Is there a specail card needed to shoot raw + jpeg?  I formatted the ones that I have prior to using them.
Solved!

While it could certainly be a card-reader problem, data corruption of any kind can be any of the following:
1) the card
2) the cable (if used)
3) the card reader (if used)
4) the computer RAM,
5) thecomputer hard drive (or SSD)
A failure of any one of the above will result in corrupted images when viewed.  Since it seems to be RAW file related, as they are signifantly larger than JPGs, it's likely anything but the card reader or cable. 
The only way to 'beat it' is eliminate each of the possibilities, starting with the easiest/cheapest fix. 
1) Use the cable.  If that solves the problem, replace the card reader.
2) Use a different card.  If that solves it, toss the old card.
3) If multiple sticks of internal computer RAM, swap them.  If that fixes it, or, the problem 'moves' to other images, replace the RAM.  It could be only 1 of 2 sticks bad, though, so use only 1 of the old sticks for a while to see if the problem recurs.
4) If you have multiple hard drives in your computer, or an external one, use that to store the photos for a while.  If the problems go away, it's the drive.  Note that hard drive failures typically start slowly and increase gradually.  On occassion, though, your computer won't boot and it's all over.  If you are down to thinking it's the hard drive, it's time to get a good backup...NOW! 
For what it's worth, I had a similar problem with corrupted photos.  Both RAW and JPGs were affected.  But as the problems were after having loaded and initially viewed them on my HD, I knew it was a computer problem.  It dogged me for a couple of weeks.  I even played swap the memory sticks, pull one out and run on one only, swap the one for the other (running on one), and it STILL kept happening.  I finally gave up and replaced both sticks of RAM.  That solved the problem.  So much for lifetime warranty from Hong Kong.  A very well regarded brand of RAM, no less.  My SSD drive was the next one on the list, it the new RAM didn't solve it.

  • HT1933 Anyone having issues when Reporting a purchase ?

    Is anyone else having issues when clicking in Report a problem link it it default back to the main screen? I have 4 unauthorised purchases on my account totalling over $350 and i need this rectified ASAP!

    Apple checked the phone and it checked out ok fine. This issue happened only twice (just before I took it to Apple). It has not happened since. I was told that it was probably NOT a heat issue because I WOULD get a message on the screen warning me about heat. I have never received such a message but co-workers have.
    Anyway, seems to be gone whatever the issue was. Now I have AirPort Extreme issues. Appointment made.
    Thanks!

    Having issues when try to burn a disc., which I never had an issue doing. Yesterday when I tried to burn a playlist it says "checking media" but just sits there. I know drive is working  because I can put in a purchased cd and can import it into my library, but now it just sits there and hums until I maually eject the disc.Before all this started it said something about that I should "calibrate disc", since then it won't let me do any burning. I can't find any options in " preferences to change anything except the burn speed. Any suggestions? Tried rebooting, tried using my wifes iTunes on same comptuer.

  • Having issue when we try to print more than 300 container labels

    Hi Gurus,
    We are having issue when we try to print more than 300 container labels. Once it reaches 300 it starts to jump the sequence and we are not able to complete all the tickets if itu2019s more than 300.
    Regards

    dear friend,
    first, i recommend to analyse the spool request and discuss it with your basis/technical guys (use SP01)
    second,
    you would try to run t-code SPAD for your output device and check out the checkbox "Process requests sequentially" (ON)

  • The problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is blackcolor

    the problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is all black in color and i cant see what i'm picking how do i change that so i can see what i'm picking

    Is that Photoshop?  Depending on the version you could try to change the Color Theme (Edit | Preferences | General | Appearance).
    If that does not help, you may have a better chance to get a useful answer if you ask in the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements forum.

    HI,
    If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
    iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
    Just a friendly advise and warning :-)

    I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the  opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

    I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

  • Anyone else having issues when streaming from veetle using safari over wifi?

    I like many others have been having issues with my wifi on my iPhone 5 (sometimes when connected to wifi it just freezes up and I need to do a reboot or reset network settings to get it back up and running). In any case, that wasn't bothering me too much but I've noticed now that the veetle web site that I use sometimes to stream shows from on my iPhone stops showing video after a few seconds when using wifi. If i switch to my LTE connection or 3G it works fine but it's only when running with wifi that it has a problem. It will begin to stream a show properly then after a few seconds the video will cut out though the sound keeps playing. My iPad doesn't exhibit the same problems and can stream from veetle perfectly over my wifi. Anyone else out there having similar issues? This will be annoying if i'm travelling out the country and depending solely on wifi for my data and not being able to stream sports and tv shows from Veetle. Just wanted to see how commonplace this problem was. Thanks

    All spring and summer Netflix/fios has been a problem. I have used a tool that goes beyond simple speed tests and gets to dividing up thE problem. It appears that the problems reside with fios, however true to form Verizon repair denies any problem (go figure) .

  • Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

    When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
    To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

    Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

  • Having issues with SP9 and IDMUI5/IDMREST SCA files

    Hello,
    I've been working through an upgrade to SP9 and have run into two issues related to some SCA files. I'm hoping others might be able to shed some light on how to resolve them. The issues primarily focus on unresolved dependencies for files I'm unable to locate.
    *Prior to performing this upgrade I downloaded all relevant SP9 files.
    In performing this upgrade, I've followed these steps:
    1) update database schema. completed successfully
    2) upgrade the runtime components. completed successfully
    3) upgrade the management console. completed successfully
    4) deploy IDM user interface on NW 7.3. This is where I ran into problems.
    Problem #1 - the IDMUI5 SCA file does not pass the validation check.
    - it states there is an unresolved dependency.
    - sap.com/tc~idm~rest~ear was not found
    Problem #2 - the IDMREST SCA file does not pass the validation check.
    - it states there are two unresolved dependencies
    - sap.com/tc~odata4j~primary was not found
    - sap.com/tc~jax~rs~primary was not found
    What I'd like to understand is where the files required by IMDUI5 and IDMREST exist and how to complete the upgrade for them.
    Thanks, Paul

    I think this is the odata4 that you need for 7.3
    SCA
    ODATACXFEXT11_0-10012140.SCA

    This might be the only package you need; it might be in your best interest to avoid manually downloading files and rely upon Solution Manager's MOpz feature to query your IdM system and let it track down all the needed packages.

  • I started having having issues when off my imac

    Hi everybody my name is agustin. I'm a new owner of an 21.5 inch 2011 iMac with 500gb. I have been using it for about a month without any problem and i was incredibly satisfied with the product i bought till now. Well actually I stil am satisfied but I am having an iimportant issue i think.
    Well let me explain: everything started with an upgrade, the system detected there was an upgrade available and asked me if i wanted to download it so i clicked yes it started to download it as usual and i hadnt noticed anything wierd, then it was everithing the same a it was some weeks before with an other upgrade. But then when the computer had to reboot it got stuck at the point of turning the imac off, so I waited about half an hour thinking it was part ofthe upgrade. But I started warring as i read on the internet that it shouldnt take so long. So I picked up the imac instructions where i saw i couod turn it of by holding the power button for about 10 seconds. So thats what i did and it worked. Then i didnt have any problem till jet. Today my imac asied me again if i wanted to male the upgrade, so i clicked on later, cause i wanted to read about it before risking my selfe to hace that expierence again. So I continued using it normally for some hours untill I finally decidied to turn it off. And this time happened the same as the first time and i waited lots of minutes untill i decided to turn it off that ugly way again.
    So i am starting to worry i have no idea what it is and what i might do. If anyone coild help me I would be more than gratefull with him.
    Finally i wanted to apologized for spelling or grammar mistakes, then im on my iPod touch
    Thank you very much for readig

    You can turn off "Reopen windows when logging back in" by un-checking the box that appears when you shut down:
    To check the updates that you installed go to System Preferences > Software Update, and check the tab "Installed Software":
    Verify the last update was for Mac OS X. If it is something else, what was it?
    ... cause it might be that there was some program that would stop the computer to finish shutting herselfe down,
    That is possible, but normally the program will cancel the shutdown with a dialog box identifying the program. Try this: next time you start the computer hold the ⌘ and V keys at the same time until you see a lot of white text on a black background. You can ignore it. After a moment your normal login screen will appear. Log in and use the computer normally. (This is called "verbose mode".)
    When you shut down the opposite will happen: you will see white text appear as the shutdown sequence progresses. If a process is taking a very long time to terminate, you will have time to read the text that appears and write it down. If it is obvious what is taking so long, post the text that appears.

  • Anyone else having issues when returning phones after warranty replacement?

        Just looking for some feedback, curious if anyone else has dealt with similar issues and what the outcome was...Last week Tuesday evening, October 1st, 2013, I went into my local Verizon store because i was having problems with my phone not charging.  They told me there was an issue with the charging port and that they were offering an open enrollment on equipment protection plan and I could get a replacement phone shipped out to me within 2 business days if i enrolled for $10.00 a month.  Now mind you I had an upgrade available at the time but was waiting for the Galaxy Note 3 to come out on the 6th.  They assured me that it wouldn't effect my upgrade and i could transfer over the insurance to the new device when i upgrade, so not wanting to go a week or so without a phone i agreed and i received the phone promptly in 2 days like they said.  Now this is where the problem comes in.  I put the phone to be sent back in the box after switching out the battery and sim as instructed and applied the return label that came in the box, and took the box with me to the post office and sent it out.  Now today I went to the Verizon store to upgrade to the note 3 but was denied because Verizon is claiming that they have not received the phone that i sent back and they are unable to track it. It seems to me that they should've received it already, and if not they should at least be able to track it by the bar code on the shipping label.  I spoke to a rep and he's looking into it and is supposed to get back to me next week, but being a little concerned i googled "verizon warranty return issues" and came across a number of sites such as po'd comsumer.com and a few others where people claim they had the same problem and their phone was never found and Verizon held them responsible and charged them the $400 some dollars or whatever the phones were worth.  Anyone here have similar issues???

    There are hundreds of other posts on here with similar issues. I myself have had an issue similar but was only able to resolve it as I sent the phone back under my own FedEx Label and not Verizons. The label Verizon sends you the only one that can track is Verizon. And they will not. They also use a hybrid shipping USPS - FedEx or Fedex - USPS. Sending these under your own FedEx label the contract is between You and FedEx only.
    That said, they started off saying I never returned the phone. I proved them incorrect with the Signature from FedEx. Then they said the box was empty, I proved them wrong with the weight from FedEx. They they said I sent the incorrect phone back in and gave me the MEI of what i supposedly sent. Proved them wrong as I was holding thae MEI in my hand. They ran out of scripted reasons that what I sent was wrong so I simply told them I would file a theft claim with FedEx and they can investigate, and I was filing a complaint with The Federal Trade Commission. They transferred me to a Supervisor, and the Supervisor went through the exact same script and at the end put me on hold for a few minutes and finally came back to state they were able to find the correct return that they had logged it in with an incorrect date.

  • Having issues when adding transitions to FCP7

    Hey, I'm editing a short film and I've been having some issues whenever i add in a transition (cross/dissolve) to any of the clips and go to play them back it has a glitch, not very familiar with FCP a complete newbie at this..Tried exporting it out to qt and the glitches got even worse...it totally freezes up and throws off the audio track completely or it will stay frozen but the audio keeps playing. I'm fairly new to this program and so i may not have the correct terminology but could really use some help.. This is my final project for graduation and right now i'm pretty stuck any help would be greatly appreciated. I included a few screen shots to explain what actually happens as the video plays out. Oh before I export it when i'm working on it on FCP it doesnt look that bad, it just kinda jumps a bit when the scene with the transition plays.

    Hi
    thanks for your response, sorry I hadn't responded but it worked and it's now working perfectly again. TY

  • Having issues when connecting and re-connecting back to a session.

    When i am log-on to the MPS2012 through the thin client and let say there was a need to re-connect because of power issue or the network issue for that particular client was disconnected; So when the user connect back to it, it bounces back and fails for
    re-login, after re-logging again, it still bounce back. And other client connect to the particular VM are still connected and running.
    And also in the morning, when i connect, it fails at times and when i ping that particular VM, it times out"Request time out", until i restart it before it start replying and then the client systems will now be able to connect.
    Its giving me concern because they are complaining and also its a school environment. I need resolve this so that even if i am not there they will be able to connect easily and re-connect easily if there was a disconnection from any thin client.
    Please i will really appreciate if anyone can assist me resolve any of this issue or what the cause/problem is.
    Thanks
