LR 3 Corrupt Catalog error

Can anybody help with an Issue I'm having. I was converting CR2 files to .DNG to be burn onto CD/DVD, once I had converted, I burnt the images using WMP and went back to LR to convert more files, but came across error and LR3 closed.
Tried to re-open LR3 and keep getting the same error message.
So I have unistalled and reinstalled LR3 from original CD after trying all the usual restarts with Win7.
I click on the LR3 desktop icon and get this straight away, I tried to install the CD on my wifes Mac, no problem, works and reads files fine.
Any ideas please.
All my original files are inplace and I didn't try nor have I reloacated them.
Cheers.

Perfect screenshot, very helpful. It's the name of the catalog that's causing it. There's instructions to solve it here: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?11341-quot-Lightroom-Opening-Catalog-IMG_893 8-JPG-lrcat-quot-comes-up-and-Lightroom-won-t-open&p=92100&viewfull=1#post92100

LR2 Experienced System Crash & Corrupted Catalog - Need Help!!!

We are using: Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
Background on Lightroom Use:
The size of the catalog in question is 296 MB.
Pictures on an 8GB smart card were being uploaded into lightroom and simultaneously moved into a folder on an external hard drive at the time of the crash. (During this download, the imac screen gave us a very scary...."Death Veil" that started at the top and slowly covered in a downward motion the entire screen, freezing up the computer completely.)
The error message said we needed to restart the computer using the restart option or shut the computer down using the on/off switch.
Since the computer was "frozen" we were unable to access the restart option so we hit the off switch, holding it down until the imac shut itself down.
After waiting for approximately a minute, we restarted the imac.
The imac started as it usually does, however, when we opened Lightroom2, the following message appeared:
After Selecting the "Repair Catalog" Option the following message appeared:
Other catalogs are operating properly in LIghtroom.
We have no available backup and are looking for someone who can assist with
perhaps fixing the corrupted catalog. (Literally, thousands of hours)

If you ever ran "Save" on a lot of images, you'll have all your edits and metadata for those images, and if you ran save recently on the whole catalog of images, you'll be pretty well off. In such a case, I'd start a brand new catalog, and Import in place all the images.
However, assuming the worst, that the above avenue won't yield much, one particular Adobe employee, Dan Tull, is a whiz at repairing catalogs, and you may get it done by sending the catalog to him. From a post long ago: Dan Tull can be contacted at dtull-at-adobe.com .. .. note that @ has been substitued with -at- in above email address .. I haven't seen Dan in this forum for a while, so it's not a for sure thing.
With best wishes,

Possibly Corrupt Catalog .Dat Files - A Serious Problem?

This question continues from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/804620?tstart=-1.
The three .dat files (backupCt.dat, collstatus.dat and tagstatus.dat) in one of our Adobe\Catalog Folders subfolders ("Paintings") may be corrupted. Whereas these files appear to be rewritten routinely, along with the thumb.5.cache file, each time Adobe Photoshop Elements is opened to one or another of our catalogs, the three files have not been rewritten for the Paintings catalog since 3/9/11, although that catalog has been opened almost every day. This situation came to my attention because the three files showed up in error messages in the Second Copy backup program I run every night, saying that the three files could not be copied because access is denied. In my previous post (referenced above), MichelBParis suggested that I could delete those files safely and that they would be rewritten when the catalog was next opened. However, I can't delete the files, rename them, or move them elsewhere because of the access denied status (I get an error message asking me to be sure that the disk is not full or write protected [which it is not] and that the files are not currently in use [which they are not, at least as far as I can tell -- Adobe Photoshop Elements has been closed when I have attempted all procedures, and I don't see any other applications or processes running, as per Task Manager, that I can immediately identify as belonging to Adobe). I have thought about restarting the computer in Safe Mode to see if I can delete the files then. However, I am a bit nervous about trying this, as the Paintings catalog in question is huge and of enormous importance to my wife -- I don't want to do something that might inadvertently make it impossible to access or use that catalog (as happened to us once before when we were using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, and the catalog became corrupted).
My questions:
(1) Does anyone know what these three .dat files actually do? I've not so far been able to find this information via Google.
(2) If these files remain in their present state (access denied and non-rewritten), do we run the risk of ending up with a serious problem down the road and loss of our ability to access the catalog (or some other loss of functionality)?
(3) Would it be safe for me in fact to delete these three files if I can find a way to do so (e.g., in Safe Mode)?
(4) If it would, indeed, be safe for me to delete the files, and if that would seem to be a next step to try, are there any suggestions for how I could go about doing so?
(5) Any other suggestions about how I can get the Paintings catalog back in proper shape?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Most likely the files are not corrupt if your basis is that the backup program cannot open the files. However, I would be concerned about the security settings in the files if multiple users need to access the same catalog. This might be why you aren't seeing any changes to the time/date because one of the user doesn't have rights to modify the file.
Please tell me what OS you are running and what version of PsE?
For PsE 9 (and I think 8), you can modify the media-analysis options from the Organizer...
Menu 'Edit->Preferences->Media-Analysis'
Uncheck either checkbox as shown in the red circles
After hitting 'OK', exit the organzier and reboot.
See if you can access the .Dat files.
Instead of copying the catalog, I would just create a new empty catalog. This can be done as follows...
Menu 'File->Catalog...'
Make sure you note where the current catalog is located before you continue. The name of the current catalog is found in the box at the bottom of the dialog with [Current] added to the end of the name. Now...
Click on 'New...'
Enter the new catalog name.
Click on 'OK'
The organizer will use the new catalog. You will now see nothing is in the organzier.
See if you can access the .dat files. You may need to reboot.
You can select the previous catalog as follows...
Menu 'File->Catalog...'
Click on the previous catalog name
Click 'Open'
There is something not right with the security settings especially if you want multiple users to be able and access the catalog. As far as how things got messed up -- I have no idea. Some possible options are that one user has more rights than another user. The one with more rights created the files just fine but the other user has no way to read the files. Or someone was messing with the security settings.
Security settings in Windows can get very complex very fast. I hesitate attempting to walk through this can be done because there could be many factors which has caused this issue. You could have specific security settings on the files which override parent directory security settings. Or the parent directory security setting could simply be wrong.
You first need to determine if both users need write access to the catalog. If this is the case and they are not administrators, I would go ahead and set the security settings on the folder containing the catalog. You do need to be careful so you don't remove security settings such that you cannot even make changes to the security settings. Make sure you give full control to "This folder, subfolders, and files" in the Permission Entry dialog.
I would encourage you to look at the effective permissions on all files in the catalog after making any changes and before you start up PsE again. I have no idea what would happen if the security setting was wrong on a single file. This could cause a corrupted catalog depending on how PsE is written.

Cannot repair corrupted catalog.

My Mac crashed in the middle of editing images in Lightroom 5. It just completely froze (no keyboard lights, no cursor moving, etc.) and had to have a hard shut down. I didn't get the option to submit a crash report. When I reopened at first it said it couldn't write to the catalog because it was on an external drive, but the second time I opened the catalog it simply said that it cannot open due to an unexpected error. I looked online for solutions and I do not have a .lock file in the folder (so it's not that) and when I try to open it while checking for catalog integrity it says to repair it, but then says it is temporarily unable to repair corrupt catalog. I've tried copying the catalog to a new location to see if that would do the trick, but no dice. Does anyone have any suggestions!? I just lost a week's worth of work from my friends' wedding! Argh!

I presume you don't have a recent-enough catalog backup (?)
I bet you won't let that happen again..
Anyway, depending on what's wrong with the catalog, you may be able to recover develop settings (only) via a plugin called WreckHover (free, by me).
In addition to catalog, settings may be stored in:
* xmp if you've saved metadata (if not, I bet you won't let that happen again either) - recovered when importing new photos, or reading metadata (Library menu) of already-imported photos.
* exported versions (if exported with all metadata) - you can recover settings from those via the same plugin: WreckHover.
Note: you'll need to restore a backup catalog first, or start a new one if no backups (really?).
Good luck,
Rob

When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.
Hi Mark,

Corrupt file error while writting a file in compress mode

Hello,
I have a scenario where i am writting data in a file in appending mode with filter 'compress' addition using open dataset, on Al11 for the first set of records it works fine but if this file is accessed again for writting data in next select statement ( its between select endselect),the file is getting corrupted, if i try to open this file corrupt file error come. can someone help.
Thanks and Regards,
Gunjan

Hi Gunjan,
Unfortunately, you can't do in that way. The behaviour of that OPEN and FILTER 'compress' clause is to create a compacted file, to be read later, but it can be appended... all your writes go to a pipe and when you close the file this is sent to 'compress' program or other filter and than a compacted file is created.
You can't go back and start inserting again after close it.
Follow documentation:
http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET_OS_ADDITION.htm
The addition FILTER must not be used together with the addition AT POSITION or for the access type FOR UPDATE.

I can no longer access my Hughes Email in box. With FireFox 7. 0.1 Log in show 2 Emails in box, but when clicked on says Corrupted Content Error Can access with Safari

I can access on MAC 10.4.11 & Firefox 3.6.13

You can get a "Corrupted Content Error" error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers.

Internal HTTPS data no longer accessible using Firefox 7. "Corrupted Data" error. OK using IE8.

We access our spam filter program using an internal HTTPS URL on port 8080. (https:/xxxxxSBS:8080) We can get to the Spam Filter login page, but when I try to login I get an error:
Corrupted Content Error

It worked fine using Firefox 5, and works fine using IE8.

This preview window - is it the one in Acrobat 10.1.4 when you choose to print a PDF (or a PDF made from an HTML)? If it's a preview in a browser, this seems like maybe a Mac OS problem; Acrobat doesn't make that preview.

Corrupt Content Error after Upgrade to 7.0.1

Ever since I upgraded to 7.0.1., I've been having problems with multiple websites generated a Corrupted Content Error when I try to load them. I NEVER had this before I allowed Firefox to update! I've double checked my version and it is, indeed, 7.0.1.
This is what the message looks like:
Corrupted Content Error

Most frequently, I get this error when trying to play an online game, Tribal Wars, and attempting to load the initial game overview page. As soon as that page starts to load, I get this:
http://en58.tribalwars.net/login.php?sid=ff6d10ff22d2&secret=0&mobile_no_force=0&t=9154041
If I click on TRY AGAIN, I then get this:

If I click on TRY AGAIN, I then get this:
http://en58.tribalwars.net/game.php?screen=overview_villages&intro&t=9154041
At that point, the page finally loads. Again, I get this "Corrupted Content Error" with numerous pages now and it is quite infuriating.
Furthermore, I'm getting DNS lookup errors right and left whereas before, I did not. Other than the update to Firefox, nothing else has changed. So this may be the result of that update, or I may have yet ANOTHER problem with Hughesnet. This I have not resolved and its like looking for a friggen needle in a haystack.
I'm totally perplexed. Whereas I've LOVED Firefox, all of a sudden I'm rethinking that and beginning to consider scrapping it for something else.
Any assistance here would be appreciated.

I get this on firefox. I get this on waterfox. I get this on nightly. I don't get it on chrome. I don't get it on internet explorer. I don't get it on comodo dragon. I don't get it on arora. I don't get it on konqueror...... Anyone noticing a pattern here?
I'm willing to admit that it's probably something to do with my isp server, so Mozilla can feel holier than thou about it, but if that's the way they insist on going, I suggest that the next time they upgrade, they call their browser Canute.

I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up. Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either. Any suggestions?

I'll have to get a better instructor on deleting the preferences since when I've doen it in the past nothing is there when I open LR the catalog is gone. I assumed that was what was supposed to happen so I start importing all over again. But that is a different issue...
The problem has been happening since at least the beta of 3 came out and I saw other posts back then saying they had similar issues but I assume it was a beta thing... But since the full version came out and through each incremental change I haven't seen an improvement. If anything it has gotten a little worse with time.
I have to try to be careful to not be in a hurry and start clicking around in the catalog as it seems fragile until it has cataloged all the photos in the library. When starting you will see the numbers populate the folders very slowly and I try not to click on a folder that hasn't had the number of photos pop up yet. Also draging the slider down to see more of the cataloge can have the same affect and crash the system.
I wish I had more to go on.. I believe it may be a resources issue but as I went from 3-4 Gig I thought it would get better. I don't have big programs running but did have outlook and word running in the background along with firefox and chrome.
And yes it only happens on this HP desktop (it's 2+ yrs old) and may be showing it's age a bit. My laptop which has less resources doesn't have the issue.. I have them sharing the catalog. (not at the same time) just when I'm working in other places in the house.

OWB import fails with corrupted repository error

Good morning,
When importing MDL file you should have an log file generated. This log file is usually in the same directory as your *.mdl unless specified differently. In the error you posted there is a JOU_JOU_FK and I think this is the corruption. Find the mapping using this table associated to this JOU_JOU_FK and drop the mapping first. Check the log generated from the import it may specify the mapping to drop.
I import my (collection) mdl's with TCL scripts and I generate errors log or completion log. This way I can track my deployment to other environment and see if all mappings were deployed and compiled properly. The first part of the log mentions if the MDL imported properly then I performs a validate on it. If i received and error during import the log will list the mapping.
example: Error at line 8,624: MDL1261: Error importing MAPPING .....
Sometimes if I have many mappings to drop. I may receive an error log and have to include the mapping to be dropped in my TCL script.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
