LR5 corrupt files on import

When importing some JPG files into Lightroom 5, it is claiming it cannot generate a preview, and then on import claiming they are corrupt.
However, these files import with LR3, and open with Photoshop, Picasa, OSX Preview. The images and metadata all appear to be fine.
Other photos from the same camera and shoot import correctly into LR 5.
What could the issue be?
And how do I get LR5 to correctly import these files?

The later file you just posted, that LR5 thinks is ok, does not have GPS info added to it and includes many camera maker-note fields, and has XMP data version 5.2.
The first one, that LR5 has issues with, has GPS data and does not include any maker-note fields and the XMP infor is version 5.1.
Pehaps the program that geocoded the file also remove something LR5 wants to see, though the strange thing is that earlier versions of LR think it is ok.
According to an Adobe blog, a bug-fix version of LR5 will come out later this week, perhaps at Adobe Labs:  http://labs.adobe.com/ so try that new version and see if things are different.  If not then it would probably be worth re-posting this issue immediately after the release, because that is when Adobe employees seem to be watching closely.  Right now they probably aren’t caring too much because they’ve already fixed many things.

  • How can I stop i photo corrupting files on import

    When I import photos from a card reader some import and some are not imported and I get the unrecognised file type rubbish and invalid data mesage. Of the files that are imported some are corrupted and the image is partially split i.e it looks as though it has been cut in two and the two halves displaced relative to each other. Now if I try and open these directly into photoshop from the card reader they generally open fine.
    If I plug the camera directly into the firewire slot they import fine either RAW or jpegs.
    I have changed the card reader but this has not solved the problem
    I have done the permissions repair process ad nauseum and deleted the com.apple iphoto plist file without success.
    The card rwader will work fine on a pc running windows. I cannot believe that windows does something bhetter than my mac
    System is G5 Powermac with OSx Tiger, 1 gb RAM and iphoto 5 with the latest updates
    Any help would be gratefully recieved as I am becoming demented.
    Steve

    Steve,
    What card readers are you using? I have read here on the discussions of problems with some card readers. If you post the name of the readers maybe someone with the same reader will post to help you or give you more info.

  • Corrupted files on import from eyefi

    I am not sure this is an aperture problem or an eyefi problem but I have noticed that about 1 in ten pictures I import from my eye fi card are corrupted, they look fine in the camera, and on the initial priveiw, but after processing, they are corrupted, sometimes just the bottom, sometimes the entire image, I have gone back and looked at the .nef raw file and it is corrupted also.
    I have the pro 8 gig eyefi card, and before I go screaming to them, I wanted to make sure that they are the problem
    I don't seem to see this on any of my other SD cards.
    Anyone have any idea?

    Hello I did buy a Eye Fi mobi a few weeks ago, but i am using Lightroom and is the same problem,  and using a ricoh gr and a nikon d800 and is the same. and i sue a regular sd card, and no problem.

  • How do you separate corrupt files from good files on a external hard drive importing them to my macbook pro

    how do you separate corrupt files from good files on a external hard drive importing them to your macbook pro

    You open them one at a time into thier respective programs and see if they are good or not and then send the bad ones to the Trash and the good ones to the appropriate folder.

  • Premiere Pro CC v7.0 - MP3s corrupted during import with "Write XMP ID to Files on Import"

    Premiere Pro CC v7.0 - original MP3s corrupted during import with default "Write XMP ID to Files on Import" option
    I have just started using a Trial version of Premiere.
    I have a folder full of corrupted MP3 files after attempting to import them into Premiere.
    After searching these forums I found that some other people have had corruption issues during import of media and it was related to the Preferences->Media->"Write XMP ID to Files on Import" option.
    I attempted to import additional MP3s (this time making backups first) with and without the Write XMP ID option, and have found that this is where the issue is.
    While the MP3 files still fail to be imported, the files are not corrupted in the process when the Write XMP ID option is unchecked.
    Writing to files that are being imported seems to me like unexpected behaviour for any software.
    Adobe please advise!
    Is there any way to recover my original MP3 collection?

    What exactly is wrong with them?

  • LR5 and xmp files on import

    Hi,
    I have the trial of LR5 and I trid now to geotag my pictures. To do so, I convert the .gpx file to xmp with geosetter. The XMP are created but when I import them into LR, the GPS position is not imported. But If I embed the GPS info into the raw files (cr2) the position is imported but I'd like to keep the raw file untouched so this is why I use the XMP.
    When I try to "update metadata" it's not working.
    So how can I make lightroom to read the xmp files on import ????
    Thanks.

    Strange
    Here is the content of an XMP file created by GeoSetter

  • Frustration - Iphoto corrupting image files during import (?)

    To begin with, I'm a recent convert from Windows to the Mac. I'm running a mac mini at home, and a Macbook with Boot Camp at work (in addition to my desktop pc). All of my software is up to date...
    I take alot of pictures with my digital camera (canon powershot). Saturday I took about 300 pictures, took the SD card out of the camera, put it into my Sandisk card reader, imported the pictures into iphoto and everything worked great. I chose to not delete the pictures after the import as I wanted to bring the card into work and upload the pictures on my pc.
    The next day (Sunday) I took another 70 or so pictures. I was able to view all of the pictures on my camera that I had taken over the past two days.
    I go to do an import , taking the exact same procedures that I took on Saturday (and that I always do). The first thing it does is identifies that there are duplicate pictures. I choose the option of "don't import duplicates" and apply this to all of the other duplicate pictures.
    At the end of the import, I got an error message saying that some of the files were corrupt. Now, there were pictures from Saturday that were still on there (and readable/viewable). However, every picture that I took on Sunday was "unreadable" and did not show up in iphoto. I put the card back into the camera, and now I can't view the pictures (they show as "corrupted data".
    I then pulled the SD card details up in Finder, and the "corrupt" files still show sizes of 2.4mb to 2.8mb, consistant with the good pictures. It shows the file's "Kind" as JPG Image... I double clicked on them and Preview comes up saying something to the extent that the file is corrupt,
    I've taken the Sandisk card reader, plugged it into my Macbook (using iphoto in osx) and was able to view one or two of the pictures from Sunday.
    Once I got to work this morning, I plugged the sd card into my Windows machine and it too says the files are corrupt. It shows them being on the card, it shows the file sizes, but I can't open the pictures in anything...
    If this was a one time deal, I'd be thinking it may be something I've done to cause the problem. However, this is the third instance I've "lost" all of my photos because of them becoming corrupt during an import into iphoto. There definately appears to be a pattern.
    I have somewhere around 8,000 pictures inside iphoto that I've taken and had no problems with. I mention this to illustrate that I'm not doing anything differently than I've done before. I have another 14,000 on my old Dell that I need to move over, but I'm questioning if I should do that now.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Is anyone else experiencing (present or past tense) this problem? Where I'm new to the mac, I understand that I might be doing something wrong. However, I've imported photos to the software (what seems like) hundreds of times, the same way each time. This makes me want to rule out user error...
    One other question, I'm saving the "corrupt files" with the hope that there's a software program which will "fix" the files. Do you happen to know of such a piece of software? I'm hoping that I can get them fixed at some point.
    Where I'm taking pictures of my kids, its extremely frustrating to find out that the pictures (memories) I was hoping to make prints of are now "gone". Its almost like rolling the dice when doing a photo import any more. Most all of the time it takes, but every now and then the pics are lost...
    I'm hoping to identify the problem (either user error, procedure or software issue) and fix it as I really like the mac.
    Any help/suggestions you might have for me would greatly be appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    First: the corrupt files: download Graphic Coverter, a shareware which is often successful where other software isn't. But first, if the Mac will let you, copy the files off the card to the Mac.
    I'm in this board a while now, and I can't recall an issue of iPhoto corrupting images on import. After all, it's just a simple file copy, at heart. I would be more inclined to suspect the card. DO you have more than one? Does the problem also occur with the other cards?
    Try use Image Capture to download the pics to the Mac first, then import them, see does that help. Image Capture is in your Applications folder.

  • Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import

    Has anyone experienced Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import?

    How do you know they aren’t corrupted before you import, or the old one wasn’t already corrupted and you just regenerated the preview and could then see the corruption where what you saw, before was from the preview cache and not the current image?
    Is the corruption a problem with the Previews or does LR actually choke on the file and say it is unreadable or show you a gray thumbnail or pixilation starts halfway down the photo.
    Can you prove the files were intact coming off the card and only are corrupted after importing into LR?  Can you get to the originals on the card, still?

  • Possibly Corrupt files on my iPhone 3GS?

    Hi everyone, hopefully someone can guide me int he right direction.
    Last summer I upgraded my 3G to a 3GS, I imported all of my content from my 3G onto my 3GS.
    I can exactly pinpoint when the problems started, but here's the list of what has been happening for at least the last 6 months:
    - Native apps (mail/safari) randomly crashing
    - When I go into an out of service area (eg an elevator) it takes at least 2 minutes to reconnect/recognize the network, turning on and off airplane mode works 50% of the time, most of the time I end up having to shut the phone off and on
    - Had a ghost email in my mobileme inbox until a full wipe/restore by the apple store
    - Random crashes/locks and bouncing me to my enter passcode screen
    - BIGGEST ISSUE: When I try to update the firmware to the latest version (I always make sure itunes is updated first), it fails halfway through and then bricks my phone into a restore cycle with an error # that I can't recall, but I know researching it didn't do me any good. This cycle goes on for about an hour before the restore & update finally works.
    I went to the apple store finally last Friday to see what they could do for me. All they did was wipe/restore my phone and tell me "don't install any apps".
    Within the first 10 hours of use (which is pretty limited without apps) I had Safari crash. Last night I plugged my iphone into my mac to charge, and it proceeded to synch. Immediately after it synched and I tried to use it, my sms app crashed twice upon trying to open it and respond to a message.
    I'm not sure if this is possibly a corrupt file in my back up? Or if this phone is just a lemon. It's definitely not caused by any applications that are installed because I haven't reinstalled any.
    Does any one have other experiences with something like this? It was suggested by someone at Rogers (my carrier) that it could be a corrupt contact or file? But that doesn't explain the crash before it had synched fully. I have mobileme, so my contacts automatically synched off my Apple address book.

    Was your iPhone restored at the Apple store as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, or restored from your iPhone's backup?
    If the former, you followed this by restoring your iPhone again with iTunes from your iPhone's backup when returning home?
    I'm not sure if this is possibly a corrupt file in my back up? Or if this phone is just a lemon. It's definitely not caused by any applications that are installed because I haven't reinstalled any.
    If your iPhone has not been restored with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, do so. If the same occurs after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, this will indicate there is a problem with your iPhone and needs to be exchanged under warranty. If the same does not occur after doing so, this will indicate there is a problem with your iPhone's backup.

  • Time machine freezing after fresh re-install because of recovered corrupt files

    Hi,
    I have a Mid 2009 15" MBP running 10.8.2. Recently, my HDD crashed. And my time machine backup on an external HDD failed to mount (perhaps the backup was also corrupt?). I made an image using Disk Drill just in case and got a new HDD from Apple Support. They put in a new HDD and "recovered" my data. Now, the comp was behaving very very funny, freezing suddenly a few minutes after boot, requiring a hard shud-down and frequent kernel panics. So, I copied some of the important data in my Users folder and did a fresh install of ML on the new HDD. I also got a new external HDD and formatted it propoerly and copied back the files onto the fresh install of ML. At this point, I realised that there were certainly some files there that were corrupt(?) because, the copying back caused hanging a couple of times. Anyway, now the comp works just fine, but as soon as I begin a time machine backup, it completely freezes (just like before requiring a hard shut down), after less than a GB backing up. Please help me.

    Hate to tell you this but the 2009 model MBPs were built, assembled, with a very cheaply made HDD to Logic board cable and your original drive may be fine and the cable is the thing that is failing.
    I suspect this because once a drive fails it is near impossible to get any useful data off it. So if Apple was able to copy your files from the old drive to the new one that drive is probably still OK. And that you are now still having problems with the brand new drive.
    No the problems you are having can not be caused by just having corrupted files store on the drive. The only files that are accessed by the operating system, while booting and running the computer, are those operating system files and whatever programs you are running. even if a program access those corrupted files it would not cause problems with the OS but may crash the program that is opening them.
    As for TM not working that again is a sign that the cable is bad because TM can't copy the files to its backup over that bad cable.

  • I am begging for help.  Corrupt File?

    I am about ready to throw my video iPod away. Just kidding. It's only 3 months old!
    All my music/videos/TV shows disappeared. In addition, when I hooked it up to reload, I get this message:
    (Exclamation Point) iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesPrefs is corrupt & unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
    First, I don't know what this means and secondly I got this msg also:
    Windows delayed write failed.
    Unable to save all data for File F. Data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save file elsewhere.
    Huh?
    And last but not least, I did go into my computer and put the music library on my desktop as instructed in the troubleshooting menu. Then when I reloaded iTunes and tried to import the library, it said it was changed and deleted it. Now I have nothing in iTunes either.
    I am near tears and any help is greatly apprecicated.

    hi Cyndy!

  • Copy files on import greyed out

    Hi I am testing PSE10 on Mac Lion before buying and one thing is stopping me buying it at the moment.  I want my original files to stay where they are and not copied into the PSE library.  Upon getting photos from folders option there is a "copy files on import" which is ticked, aha I thought just take the tick out but it is greyed out - can anyone help ?
    Thanks

      If you are also using iPhoto; Elements will make copies to your hard drive to prevent corruption of the photo Library. The choice is Organizer or iPhoto to manage your images or you can use iPhoto together with the Elements Editor; in which case you need to set Elements as your external editor within the iPhoto settings.
     

  • "iTunes:iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" help

    When I hook up my iPod to my computer, I run Windows XP Professional on a Dell, I get a message on the bottom righ that reads
    iTunes:iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    The file or directory \iPod_Control\Device\SysInfo is currupt
    and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    I remember doing this before and nothing happened. iTunes still works, but sometimes when I want to put a CD on my iPod iTunes will act goofy and won't read the CDs, I'll have to restart the program. Any help with this?

    hi Eric!
    the chkdsk issue isn't usually associated with CD hassles (at least, i don't think it is) ... so if you're still having troubles once you've got this one fixed, try reposting again over at Importing and Burning.
    But for the chkdsk, you should first proceed to one of the two classic bodies of work in the field:

  • InDesign CS4 - saved gradient got corrupted, file becames unreadable.

    Hi all.
    I've just got the new CS4 suite a couple of days ago.
    All is well installed, been working like crazy for almost 2 days straight, over CS2 files that I had before.
    Then I started a brand new document (not imported from older versions), designed it, and it crashed after I've applyed a simple gradient to a frame.
    After restarting InDesign CS4, it recovered the file, but the frame with the gradient was Black, and a warning appeared saying the file appears to be corrupted.
    "Saving as..." with a new name didn't helped either, seems like every file saved from that one were corrupted.
    Scanned the hard drive for bad sectors, all is ok.
    The only solution I've got was to:
    open the corrupted file
    select what I could
    "copy" to memory
    close the file
    create a new document with similar settings
    paste and adjust
    start all over again for every page and layer
    Can someone help, so this doesn't happen again?
    Oh, and it also crashed again after creating some colors. On Windows Task Manager, the executable was still there, "eating" about 49% CPU.
    Could this have something to do with multi-core? This machine has a dual-core, but others have quads. This is being run over Windows XP Professional SP3, 3Gb Ram.
    I couldn't replicate the error yet.
    Kind regards,

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for the response. I think you nailed it. I had actually updated all the cross references that generated errors, but a few crept through (no errors generated) that referenced a paragraph in the document I copied from. I replaced these with the references in the current document and this solved it. The old document was also on a remote disk, so I'm sure this made matters worse. In addition, I found links to illustrator files on the remote disk. I also copied these files to the local disk and updated all the links (actually I did this first and it made very little difference, it was really the cross references that were the issue).
    Thanks,
    Anthony

  • WinSAT.EXE corrupt file

    Has anyone seen this? How important is this? How can I address this?
    When running the system assessment the following warnning appears...
    WinSat.exe - corrupt file
    The file or directory C:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE.LOG1 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    When I run the utility the window disappears too quickly for me to do anything.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Which computer? Which Windows?
    WinSat is the Windows System Assessment Tool program.
    SOFTWARE.LOG1 is a log of changes to the Software registry hive.
    Please run the Chkdsk utility. 
    When I run the utility the window disappears too quickly for me to do anything.
    Chkdsk is a console program. You must run it from the command prompt (cmd.exe).
