Many of my files are empty (zero bytes)

Why are my files blank? And when i open iCloud it is a mess.

Not sure if this is the same issue I am experiencing: I upgraded to Mavericks and the new iWorks suite recently on all my machines. I notice that in iCloud, I have files stating "zero bytes" on my MacMini, while on the MacBook Pro, the files are "normal size" and can be opened. iCloud is synching the files, but not transferring data. KeyNote, Pages are working well, but Numbers doesn't transfer the data to the other machines connected to iCloud, only the file name shows up. iCloud preference is selected to sync Numbers (and the other apps). This was not happening until after the upgrade. Any ideas?

I backed up my itunes library to an external drive.It's 119 gb.It took about an hour.When I looked at the files it list the artists and albums but then says the files are empty.On the C drive of my own computer it says they are empty.Why would this be ?

When I open up my itunes library on my hard drive it says it contains 119 gb.I tried to look up individual songs under each album and artist.Every time I open an album it says the folder is empty.I exported the library earlier to an external hard drive.It took over an hour.When I look on that library it also says the files are empty,yet when open itunes and play songs they are all still there.Why doesn't the library list each song since it says it contains 119gb?

Niel, I tried that several times but the Choose Library screen never appeared.
Then try again.
Make sure iTunes is not running.
Hold the Option key.
Click the iTunes icon in the dock.
Select Choose library...
Select the iTunes folder you copied to the external
ITunes would boot up like usual but the only songs listed were in the Cloud. None of my Apps, Playlists, etc. appeared.
Because you moved the library and have not yet told iTunes to Choose the library you moved.

Exported files are empty

I exported my created webpage File > Export > CSS & Images (.htm). Files are created but .htm , .css files are empty and there is not images in /images folder?
Is this bug in FireWorks?

Download and use Find Any File to search for the file name and extension of the video. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders and packages.
You may find several items with the same name so check their size. Note where the larger file resides.

Intrastat files are empty (even the countryfile)

After working a few days with SBO 2007A (after upgrading from 2004) all my Intrastat files are empty (we have upgraded on 01/08, last wednesday (06/08) the files were still there and on thursday morning (07/08) they were ale gone). The Intrastat Add-on is activated and in the documents the Intrastat fields are not available. When I look in the UDF's they are also gone. Know someone the reason of this and how can I solve this?

Hi Andre,
You probably need restore the backup to the test environment first before looking up the cause.
In the test environment, you may found the reason by yourself.
Thanks,

In iMovie, all my files are empty after upgrade. How can I find them?

Hello Folks!!
I have 2 input files with different encoding (apparent in case of special characters).
File 1 loads successfully. For File 2 loader gives a memory fault while loading. Hence the log file is of 0 bytes. I still have no clue as to why is the loader giving a memory fault. It is not an OS level memory fault as analysed by the OS team. Please help!
Thanks in advance :)Unknown OS

No details about what import command was used or the options specified

Need help exporting thumbnails (jpeg files are empty)

Hello,
I'm having problems loading photos from my thumbnails in iPhoto. If I try to load a photo nothing happens, even after several minutes. My library has around 500 images, so I can't imagine it would take very long to load.
If I try to export a photo it just creates an empty jpeg file. I can get data on the photo (ie size, width, height) from inside iPhoto, but the actual jpeg file appears empty. So, is there anyway to export just the thumbnail? I'd rather have a smaller image of the original than nothing at all.
Regards,
Rob
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPhoto 5.0.4

however, during this process I got the following error message for many of the photos:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain data).
Hello Rob,
this message means that you have this image in your library already, it prevents from duplicate.
The simplest way I found to solve this type of issue is to choose a picture that does not show up, but were you can see the thumbnail. Check the name (so called tittle) of the picture in iPhoto via info and find it on the drive via finder "apple-F" key combination (or menu edit/find/find).
1 - you find it under your iPhoto Library tree folder
1-1 - try to find out if folders names (iPhoto Library/2006/07/10/...which means : iPhoto Library/"year"/"month"/"day") has been changed. If no change has been done with finder, drag (do not copy) this pict out on desktop or other folder you can use, then drag it back in iPhoto window (not in finder folder), it should go back in the correct folder under iPhoto Library and show up again in full size.
check it first for several picts, if you find that all your picts are with the same problem you can consider taking all your picts out with finder and drag them back in iPhoto window
1-2 - you could also consider to repair your library by starting iPhoto holding down command-apple keys, but I have never tried it.
2 - your pict is NOT in iPhoto Library folder BUT on your drive, drag it back in iPhoto window, not in finder folder directly. It should show up in the correct location in iPhoto. You may have 2 thumbnails with same name in iPhoto window, just delete the one where you can't see full size pict.
this is unlikely to be the case from my point of view
3- your pict is not anymore on your drive... Somebody must have erased it directly from folder, meaning messing up directly in iPhoto library folder. Then check again 1-1.
this is unlikely to be the case from my point of view
You see the thumbnails because iPhoto it is a database that create thumbnails when importing pict, and they will last until you delete your pict within iPhoto. iPhoto refreshes it's database at that time. By doing things directly under finder just does not allow iPhoto database to be "aware" of what you are doing... so it cannot refresh it correctly. Then it messes up the complete stuff.
Hope this can help you, if not please post back an answer,
Best regards,

I have hundreds of plist lock file's at zero bytes

In my home library Preferences folder, I'm seeing literally hundreds of plist files ending in "lockfile" - all taking up zero bytes. Can I delete these?
I have over 700 plist files in total, about 1/4 being these taking up zero bytes. Anyone know what these are?
Thanks,

I am having to install tbird again on a new system, I copied and backup-ed my previous emails. When I view my copies and/or restored email files are empty. Why?

I am having to install tbird again on a new system, I copied and backup-ed my previous emails. When I view my copies and/or restored email files they are empty, nothing is displayed and the window shows message of being empty. I an sure of the backup and of my copy/paste steps. Where and/or what has happened to my emails? I also searched each disk and all files for email extensions (*.mozmsgs and *.sbd and *.sbf) with no results. I can not find a way to restore over 10 years worth of very important emails. Can someone please help me recover what I know is their? All my emails in Seamonkey are on another system (the one I replaced with new win7 pro 64 i7 based system) and all the emails I had in tbird, before having to reinstall everything on new system due to something that happened to the os, are the copied and backup-ed files that are showing empty. Prior to new install all old Seamonkey emails transferred to tbird and all the tbird emails prior were their and were the copied/backup-ed files showing empty now. This is turning into my worst experience and nightmare in over 25 years of systems. I am really lost on this one. please help....

Are you saying you split your profile between C and D drive, perhaps through specifying a location in the account settings.
BTW.
*.mozmsgs useless duplicate files created for windows search integration. Simply wasted space on the disk.
*.sbd a folder indicating the presence of a sub folder (contains no mail at all.
*.sbf (I don't know that one.
*.msf an index of mail. contains tags, but otherwise useless and will be recreated when the mail is loaded in Thunderbird so it can display the mail list.
*. that is no file extension. You mail in files with the same name as the folders they came from.

Archive and File area empty, but used space full

Hi,
I have a problem with the File area. I loaded files on my 20GB space. Later I deleted them by putting them in the archive. No file were shown in the archive. I tried several times. The Creative Cloud Mac application tells me now that my space is full, but nothing appears either in the Files or in the Archive section. I also emptied the local folders, nothing.
Thanks for help

After update pdf files are empty

Yesterday I got a notification of an update for Adobe reader on a mac, OSX 10.7.5 After installation all my pdf files appear empty. Message is "could not be opened because it is empty". How to I fix this?

Hi dacyndaf,
It is highly unlikely for the update to have caused this.
Would it be possible to share the file with me so that I can have a look.
Are these pdfs created by acrobat or any 3rd party application?

Saved PDF files are empty 6 months later

On January 27th 2014 I filled a bunch of immigration forms from USCIS. I downloaded the files on my laptop, filled in the blanks and saved them on my hard drive. 2 weeks later I reopened them and printed couple of them and everything was fine, all filled info was still there. Today I tried to open the files and reprint them and to my surprise, all fillable fields are empty. I really need to print these forms tonight.
FYI, i'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit, and Adobe Reader latest version.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 4
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 5
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

My creative cloud files are empty? I know there are files in there? WHERE ARE MY FILES?

I updated all the programs I use in the creative suite and for some reason my files in asset folder are not showing up anymore. It says nothing is there when I know that I have files there!! HELP!!!

Hi,
Could you check that your files are not in a renamed folder in your home directory?
They could also be in the trash, Creative Cloud will either archived your files in a new Creative Cloud folder or your files will be in trash. Could you let me know how you get on with this. We can then look into other ways to get your files back.
Thanks
Warner
