Mobile me photo zip corrupt

I downloaded my photos from the MobileMe gallery during the transition. They were downloaded as zip files. I found today that I am getting an error message saying the file is corrupt. Any suggestions? I am running 10.7.4.

I guess I'm screwed. I am really upset about this. A couple of the photos were of my late 80 year old father in one of the few times he enjoyed himself,shortly before he died of vascular dementia last year. He was almost crippled and loved the time spent on the tiller of my sailing boat.
If those photos could be recovered I would be very grateful. I've searched whatever few backups I have in the way of old hard drives and memory cards, but cannot find anything.

HT201302 I am trying to upload pictures from my phone to my computer and I'm getting an error message that a photo is corrupted so it can't download. I don't know how to tell which of the photos is corrupted so that I can delete it and try again? Thanks

If this is an iCloud account the Outbox only appears when sending an email, so if it is still trying I suppose it should be showing now (not sure though, hard to replicate this)
What type of email account?

I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. Have you heard of this?

I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. New photos take a long time to load as well.

We need a little more information to be able to help.
However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture.
What kind of corruption? And when do you see it? All your images, or only some? Are the images distorted, discolored, or not displayed at all?
Are you shooting in raw? Is your library referenced or managed? Is your library on your system volume or on an external harddrive?
And it would help to know your MacOS version and Aperture version too.

How do I recover photos that corrupted when I upgraded to iphoto 11?

I just installed iphoto 11 on my macbook and stupidly didn't back up my library, When the library was rebuilt, 40 photos have corrupted - weirdly, all the corrupted photos are black and white, landscape - and any photos in the sequence that are portrait are just fine. i can still see the photos as thumbnails, but can't open them.
I have tried 3 things:
Clearing iphoto preferences and cache (didn't work)
Repairing the library (it gets stuck every time at 74% and then I have to force quit)
Downloading iphoto library manager and rebuilding the library (it entirely deletes the corrupted images)
E-mailing myself the images (not sure where I was going with this one, but it wouldn't let me e-mail them anyway!)
Missing photos are the first photos of our newborn baby so pretty anxious to get them back... anyone got any bright ideas?

Without a backup you are probablhy out of luck - remember that withou a backup you are guarenteed to lose your files including your photos sooner or later - things happen and a backup is the only protection you have against hardware, software and human failure
It may be because the photos were B/W - unless they had a RGB color profile then that is the most likely cause - iPhoto does not work with other color profiles including grey scale - what was the source of these photos?

2013LinuxCW14.zip corrupt, will not unzip on Linux

Hi folks, the LabView Compile Worker 2013 for Linux zip file ( 2013LinuxCW14.zip) appears to be corrupt. We also tried to unzip it on OS X and Windows machines with the same issues. We had the same problem with the 2012 compile worker zip file and NI recreated it for us. Is there somebody that can look into this one for us? Thanks...Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Where did you get the zip file from? Did you download it from ni.com? I just downloaded the file from ni.com, and I was unable to unzip it successfully (on a Windows 7 machine). It sounds like just that particular copy of the file may be corrupted, which may mean you can get around this issue by just downloading the file again from ni.com (from the link below). Try downloading a new copy of the file, and let me know if the problem persists.

Saving Lightroom Mobile synced photos to existing library system?

This should be really straightforward but I can't figure it out.
When I import photos from my DSLR, Lightroom saves them into a library structure (Pictures > 2104 > 08 > 07). This works for me, as it keeps everything together in the one place, easy to navigate and back up. Is there a way I can automatically save photos synced from Lightroom Mobile into the same library structure as my DSLR photos? At the moment it seems to keep the photos inside a Lightroom data file (Pictures > Lightroom > Mobile Downloads.lrdata).
Any suggestions?

Automatically? No.
Here is a feature request to add your voice to: Give me more control over where Lightroom Mobile images get stored on my PC

Photos getting Corrupt

Hi,
Since updating my wife and my own 3G to 4.2.1, I can't save any photos e.g.
from my email into the photo roll. They image just shows as corrupt in the roll on both phones.
Photos taken from the camera seem to save ok.
I even restored the firmware but its still the same story.
Has to be an bug in 4.2.1 causing this!
Anyone else with the same issue?

Hi,
Try deleting the iPod photo cache folder, which is created in the root of the folder photos are synced from.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 provides more information about the iPod photo Cache folder.

Download 92010NT_CLT.zip Corrupted

I've tried to download the 9i NT client software (92010NT_CLT.zip (625,558,536 bytes) twice now, and end up with a corrupted file after approx a 2.5hr download.
The indicated data rate is around 60Kbs.
I used different client workstations, one on my office cable modem connection, and one on a client's high speed connection. In both cases the data rate was low (approx 60kbs). However, a quick experiment from another client site, sustained a 260kbs data rate for several minutes from downloa east, although the download could not be completed at that location for non-technical reasons.
Any suggestions to make a successful download more likely would be appreciated.

Photos are corrupted on iphone.

i recently replaced my iphone. restore seems to have gone smoothly except that my photo folders are corrupted. the camera roll and photo stream folders seem ok; all others behave as follows: i open the folder, select a thumbnail, and the photo that is opened is not the one in the thumbnail. this happens with all of the photos.

If these photos are in your iPhone's Photo Library, they were transferred from your computer, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Try deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab followed by a sync which will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and make your selections below followed by a sync to re-transfer the photos to your iPhone.
If no change after this, the next step is targeting what is called the iPod Photo Cache for these photos on your computer.

Only scanned photos are corrupted/gone

I've just discovered that most of the photos I've scanned into iPhoto have disappeared, although I still do see the lovely grey "corrupted" box where the pictures used to be. I've checked the Originals folder and the scanned photos are completely gone, not just corrupted. (I had noticed that the thumbnails for the most recently scanned photos starting about a month ago had a blank white line through them, but the line didn't appear when the photo is enlarged or printed.) All other non-scanned photos appear to be there.
Questions:
- Is this possibly a problem with the Lexmark printer/iPhoto? Photos used to scan well - no problems - until they disappeared. The ones that disappeared were 6 months - 2 years old.
- Will rebuilding the iPhoto library help in this case? Is it possible that the photos are still hiding somewhere and will be picked up again, even though I can't see them in the Originals folder?
Coincidentally, the same thing just happened to my parent's computer (version 10.3.8; I'm 10.4.8) which is what sent me looking for my photos. Did something happen in the last software update to mess things up?

Tiggle:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you at version 6.0.5 and, if so, did this start after upgrading to iPhoto 6.0.5? If so you may be experiencing the color profile problem, i.e no color profile or a damaged profile.
So try the following:
1 - download the "Embed sRGB Profile" Automator application from Toad's Cellar.
2 - locate one of the bad files in the iPhoto Library/Originals folder and drop onto the Automator workflow to embed the sRGB profile.
3 - check to see if that file is now viewable in iPhoto.
If that corrects the problem you can repeat the process for each file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photos become corrupted during processing

I have been struggling with processing photos on my imac for some time now and am starting to lose hope for a solution. I randomly get corrupted images showing stripes and blocks which contain part of the image, but with a different color and shifted in position. It looks like the order in the image is lost. I contine to see the problem on other computers or my ipad when transferring the picture that is corrupted. So it does not seem to be a display problem.
Some history:
- I cannot import raw images from my camera using any application (canon software, aperture, iphoto) without randomly getting several photos with this problem.
- I can import raw images from my camera on a WIndows machine or using a virtual machine running a Windows environment on my imac. So that last solution I am using frequently...
- When transferring these large raw images to the native osx environment (so from the windows environment), the corruption reappears when processing these raw images in the osx environment.
- If in the windows environment, I convert these large raw images to smaller jpeg files, I can process these jpegs on my native osx environment without problems, although I once got the corrption again in one email when I tried to mail a large jpeg file. So my workflow for processing my raw images was to transfer them from my camera to a WIndows virtual machine, do the first processing in this windows environment using Canon software, convert the raw images to jpeg format, move the jpegs to my osx native environment and then further process them in Aperture. This worked fine, although cumbersom and dissapointing considering I bought my imac for its good reputation for working with images.
- I recently started to create picture books in Aperture which I then ordered a hardcopy from. The number of pages is significant and the size of these books is XL, so they do not come cheap. Guess what? The same corrupted images are now appearing randomly in the pdf file of the preview of these picture books! So to be sure I don not proceed with buying these books.
I tried several things to get this resolved without succes. What I did note is that before I moved to Mountain Lion, I had less issues when forcing Aperture to run in 32bit mode. Since I am using Mountain Lion now, I do not have this option anymore...
My conclusion so far is that many of similar problems reported in this forum are not related to specific software, but rather to the operating system or is a hardware issue. I am not a specialist, so not sure if processing large images uses a specific part of my imac that other applications do not use (or less intensively), but I only have problems when processing images. All my other applications run very well and besides the image problem, I have no other complaints...
If anyone can point me towards the solution for my problem processing images, I would be very thankfull. Please help me!
Olivier

Good news from my side: no more corruption of my raw images and no more corruption of my photobooks in Aperture. After a couple of weeks in the shop and a significant number of tests, the conclusion was that there is nog enough RAM. All other components seemed to work fine. So, shifted from to 2GB to 4GB and just ordered my photobook without problems. Not sure if his will help the problems you are experiencing, but it helped for me at least.

Photos are corrupted!

I am trying to upload photos from my iPod Touch 5 to iPhoto on my Mac. Some of them are corrupted and will not upload. One thing I am being told is that the file is "too large". I'm also being told they are "unreadable". The names for these files are huge and nonsensicle. I am thinking maybe the photos intermingled with each other somehow?
OK... as I am trying to get this to work... some of them are suddenly uploading. This makes no sense! Anyone got any idea what is going on or how to fix this? Is my camera just plain broken??

If these photos are in your iPhone's Photo Library, they were transferred from your computer, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Try deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab followed by a sync which will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and make your selections below followed by a sync to re-transfer the photos to your iPhone.

Raw photos are corrupted on import

some of my raw photos are coming in completely corrupted
the original files in aperture are fine and have a backup elsewhere but am wondering if there's anything that can be done to prevent the problem?

There are so many possible problems here, that we'll need much more information.
1. What camera? What file type? Is the camera fully supported?
2. How are you importing? Direct from the Camera? Via a USB Card Reader?
3. What's the nature of the corruption? What's the difference between the corruption in Aperture and the problem in iPhoto?
Any more info you can add will help.
Regards
TD
