Major problem with Photoshop unexpected end of file...

Every time I save a file in Photoshop, I have to save it twice per format (psd, jpg, etc...).  That's because if I've ever saved the file before, I get an unexpected end of file error and the file disappears until I do a save as.  I downloaded the latest update today and it claimed to have fixed major errors with Photoshop.  I wonder what major errors exactly were fixed; and why not this one?  As far as errors go, it's pretty effing major.  It adds significant time to all of my projects and frankly, if I'm spending exorbitant amounts of money for "industry-leading" software, I expect to be able to save my work painlessly.  Oh well, I guess it'll only be another couple months before I have to shell out another $1200 bucks for the CS6 right?  Maybe then I'll be able to actually save my work.
p.s. CS2/3/4 did not have this issue - sweet upgrade Adobe, thanks.

Again, this is not a known issue.   You are the first person to bring this up without a bad disk drive, and it is probably due to something on your file server.
Yes, other people get the same error message - because they are dealing with corrupt files for one reason or another.  You are getting the message because the files are corrupt, probably because of an issue with your file server.
Photoshop CS4 and earlier used the Carbon framework on MacOS.  Photoshop CS5 is written to the Cocoa framework/APIs and uses different OS code paths for many things.  We have seen many cases where the Cocoa APIs had problems that the Carbon APIs did not.  Unfortunately, if we cannot work around those API issues, then they are up to Apple to fix.
But in this case, I doubt it is an OS API bug as such.  I suspect it is a change in the way the OS APIs interact with the file server.
And cases like this are high up on the list of why we say NOT to open or save from a file server -- you can get a lot of odd, difficult to diagnose errors because of problems on the server or network.  Those problems have nothing to do with the application, but may appear to because of the complexity of file servers and networking.
Some Photoshop users do open and save off a file server all the time - without problems.  When we test with file servers here inside Adobe, we rarely have problems (and the rare problem was due to a bad disk on the server).  But we can't guarantee that everyone's network and everyone's file server is going to work perfectly - and evidence suggests that many of them don't work perfectly.
In short: you probably have a bad file server.  It is highly unlikely that this is a bug in Photoshop.

  • What to do when Photoshop says could not import clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

    I have PC, with adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and windows 8. Every time I open Photoshop it says: could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. If I exit the message I still cannot create files or open anything... any suggestions?

    When you load Action and when you create new actions they are saved into you Photoshop Preferences into Actions Palette.psp.  This File is read when you start Photoshop.
    Apple and Microsoft both like to hide important files on users.  Windows search and Apple finder will not find and show hidden files unless you change Mac and Windows setting.  I you getting the error when you start Photoshop there is a shortcut to reset preferences. Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop you should be prompted to for an OK to delete preferences.
    If this keeps happening perhaps you have a bad spot on your disk.  Loaded actions are saved into that file so they should show up in the Actions Palette when Photoshop Start Up and read that file during start up. Photoshop Writes that file when you load action sets, when you record and edit actions and most likly also when you close down Photoshop.

  • Very strange bugs - Unexpected end-of-file - LR database problem

    I really like the concept and GUI of LR, but bugfixing is urgently needed. Of course I am not happy that I spent money for the current quality of software (Windows version).
    Before the problem described below occured I performed some develop actions on several images without any problems.
    After doing some simple cropping in the Develop module of LR the display for one single image became brown (in loupe and film strip). The problem is singular for one image.
    Then I restarted LR.
    Now LR displayed a message saying "Unexpected end-of-file" at top inside the image display. (Has anybody out there ever seen this?)
    That message is obviously misleading: The image NEF-file is untouched. The xmp sidecar is new of course. Apparently the database entry is broken!!!
    Deleting the xmp sidecar doesn't solve the problem.
    Then I told LR to remove the faulty image from the LR database without physically deleting it.
    Then I checked database consistency without any problem report.
    Then I tried to reconnect the image for that folder.
    The image is not reconnected. It doesn't show up in LR.
    Then I copied the image outside LR to a new folder and told LR to import the new folder.
    The image was not imported by LR. LR is saying it is a duplicate. Obviously it is not removed correctly from the LR database even I told LR to remove it.
    After some attempts (sorry I don't remember exactly) I could redisplay the problem image. Now the image is displayed correctly again. But LR is saying in a dialog box that I will be unable to make changes to that image. The grid display has a triangular exclamation sign (not a rectangular one!!!).
    Later I told LR to delete (not only remove) the image physically.
    Afterwards I copied the image into the OS folder.
    Afterwards I was able to reconnect the missing image to the LR folder.
    Afterwards I could continue working with the develop module at that image.
    BUG 1) Why could this problem occur at all? ("Unexpected end-of-file")
    BUG 2) Obviously the image has not been correctly removed from the LR database although I told LR to do this.
    No, my disks are not full.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

    I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6.  If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to.  I don't know if I changed something by accident or not. 
    Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..."  The save as window opens showing the file name and format.  The default format seems to be .PSD.  I use the drop down to select .jpg.  The file saves normally as a .jpg.  When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
    I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite  but it always used to do that.  This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
    In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
    I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

    Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower

    Check your scratch disks for fragmentation ( use something like disk warrior ) and available space.  Sounds like the files are not getting completely saved.

    Hi Curt...I'm new here, so I'll get the hang of it.  Thank you for your quick response.  I'm using the Mac OS X version 10.6.8  I'm a digital artist and was working on a psd file.  I use a wacom tablet and all of a sudden everything stopped responding.  I had to force quit Photoshop and open again.  That's when the window telling me an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.  So much work has gone into this piece of artwork, so needless to say, I'm beyond frustrated.  I had saved this work along the way just so I wouldn't lose it, but now this unexpected twist.  I will try what you suggested to see if it will help.

  • I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

    I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

    Are you trying to open Photoshop directly, or open it by double clicking on a Photoshop document, like a PSD file?  If the former, then you might need to reinstall.  Resetting Preferences would be the firs step, but I am not sure if that will work if Photoshop is not opening in the first place.
    Try doing so anyway.  Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) while opening Photoshop. OK the message to delete Preferences.
    If you get the unexpected end of file error while trying to open Photoshop via a PSD document, then there is more than a good chance that that file is toast.
    If still stuck, we need to know Operating System, and Photoshop version.
