My old TIFFs and JPEGs have end of file errors when Photoshop crashes

I'm using CS3 on a mac duo intel, 10.5.8 OS
My photoshop is frequently crashing, and I am unable to force quit in the finder. Even worse, TIFs and JPGs that aren't even open at the time of the crash are getting corrupted. As for as I can tell, any TIF or JPG that was saved at any time during the session that ended with the crash gets corrupted. Even the versions in Time Machine get corrupted. For instance, Let's say I launched photoshop at 9 am on Monday morning. at 12 pm on Monday, I save and close files X, Y, and Z. At 6 pm on Monday, photoshop crashes. X, Y, and Z are now corrupted. If I check time machine, say for the versions on my drive at 12:30 pm, Monday, they will be corrupted, even though the files were closed half an hour earlier, and the crash didn't happen until 6 pm.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. As you might imagine, I'm ready to pull my hair out.
thanks,
Nick

Hi Chris,
Thanks for responding. That's a little frightening. The only back-up
utility I use is SuperDuper. Could this be causing it?
Thanks,
Nick

Yeah you shouldn't use ~ in general. That is a shortcut for "Your home directory."
This is not strictly true. ~ is a "meta-character" in Unix shells -- it is an instruction to the shell to substitute the path to a home directory. It only has meaning in a Unix shell command, and only if ~ is the first character in a file path name. Outside of a Unix shell ~ has no special significance (although other programs might adopt a similar convention).
I don't see any reason why Aperture would be doing tilde expansion, and if it is, it is doing it wrong. "March~May Asia Trip" is a perfectly legitimate name in both Mac OS and in Unix. There is nothing taboo about using ~ in a file name. This behavior (which I can confirm) is almost certainly an Aperture bug.

End of file error when running an extremely specific SQL call

When I run the query below through my VB.NET app with certain table and column names as parameters on an Oracle 10.1 database (Connection.ServerVersion reports it as 10.1.0.4.0), it fails and throws the following error: Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel. The query does not fail for most table/column names--only a few. The query does not fail with any set of parameters when I run it directly through PL/SQL Developer, nor does it fail with any set of parameters when I run it through VB against a 10.2 database. I'm using ODP.NET 10.2.0.2.20.
Here's the SQL:
SELECT search_condition check_constraint, cols.constraint_name
FROM user_constraints cons, user_cons_columns cols
WHERE constraint_type = 'C'
AND cols.owner = cons.owner
AND cols.table_name = cons.table_name
AND cols.constraint_name = cons.constraint_name
AND cols.table_name = UPPER(:tableName)
AND cols.column_name = UPPER(:columnName)But the weirdest part is that the query always works if I make any one of these changes:
*Change the WHERE line to: "WHERE cons.constraint_type = 'C'".
*Get rid of the UPPERs and pass in upper-case parameters.
*Remove one of the parameters
*Remove "constraint_type = 'C'"
*Change the last line to 'EXPECTED_VALUE' = UPPER(:columnName)
Is there something special about the Query of Death that I wrote? Is anyone even able to replicate this error, iterating in VB over all the columns in a good-sized database? I've never seen anything like this before.
Thanks in advance for your help,
-Justin

Hi Justin,
I tried to reproduce your complaint, but wasnt able to. I didnt have a 10104 db to test against though, but I did test against 10105, and 10202, using the following dumb table:
create table constr_test ( c1 number);
alter table constr_test add constraint const_1 check (c1 in (1,2,null));
insert into constr_test values (3);
commit;
Frequently a 3113 is the result of an ora-600 or ora-7445 on the database. The fact that it doesnt occur for you on 10.2 db leads me to believe that might be the case here. Have you checked your alert logs?
Cheers,
Greg

Found Fix for "unexpected-end-of-file" error for Photoshop

NOTE:
You will lose all layers (this process flattens the image, but it's better than nothing).
You need to have Adobe Illustrator installed (you could get a trial version or something if you don't have it).
I was using Windows 7 when I did this, so it may not work in OSX (Apple) or Windows 8.
         1. Right click on the corrupt document and open it in Illustrator. (Mine took a while so you may have to wait)
         2. Save the file as a .pdf
         3. Right click on the .pdf and open it in Photoshop.
Sorry, I know i started a discussion but I can't figure out how to answer a post.

Hi Oliverchuckle
I tried this on my first encounter of the error and it works pretty good for simple PSD files but not on complex ones containing vector masks etc. And it will not work on larger PSD files that are more damaged and "unreadable".
There are many things that can cause this - all related primarily to the state of the network or hard drive the file is being saved to.
To avoid:
work off your local machine hard drive (not a network drive)
ensure that you have ample (scratch) disk space (at least 20% free)
create multiple versions of your files with save as. You can always trash the ones you don't want when you're done.
Recovery depends on how far the save function got before photoshop (or your computer) crashed. In many cases only the file header information is damaged. For larger files the damage can be more extensive.
In all cases, the best recovery method is to open the file with Adobe Image Ready and save as. It may give a "file is unreadable" error while opening but usually manages to still open the file. In my testing, the results are 100% accurate (to whatever state the file existed in). In most cases the file was 100% recovered, including complex files containing vector and layer masks, clippings and groups. I cannot say this is the case for any of the paid for "repair PSD" utilities which extract a raster only version of each layer and then re-build the layers into a new psd file. This results in a limited, "destructive" or rasterized layered file.
Unfortunately, Adobe Image Ready is hard to find. The last version I believe was V9 (“CS2″), May 2005.
Adobe is offering a legacy download here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#
for users who previously purchased it (and need to re-install it). I didn't try this as I still have CS2 already installed on an older machine. Note, you will need MacOS 10.6.8 running rosetta or older to instal on a Mac.
Hope this helps!

End of File error on .nef files

I am beginning to see a growing number of my .nef files becoming visually corrupt in the viewer and showing the "end of file" error when opening in PS or any other application.
The corruption does NOT seem to affect the associated .jpg file (if there is one) but I am also NOT able to generate another "clean" .jpg file with the .nef files that have become corrupt.
I hope that I haven't confused everyone - but this issue is rather baffeling in that I can't seem to pinpoint a cause.
My master files are stored as reference files on a server share - all shot with a Nikon D2X.
Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing this - and better yet - is there a way to reverse the corruption?

I do have a number of other systems that I can use to test from. THe file server is a general purpose server in my home running 10.4.x with all of the latest patches, etc.
I am using a SanDisk card reader to ingest directly into Aperture. The corruptness appears to be random.
I am using a Nikon D2X with a number of CF cards, usually 1 or 2GB in size. I capture recording .nef (RAW) images to the CF card.
My workstation is a PowerMac, Dual G5, with 2.5GB processors and 2.5GB of memory. I am using MacOS 10.4.2 with all of the appropriate patches and updates.
The Server is a PowerMac, Dual G5, with 2.5GB processors and 2.5GB of memory. The server is running MacOS 10.4.x Server, again with all of the appropriate patches and software.
The network is Gigabit speed with one switch between my workstation and the server. The Switch is a GSM7224 L2, 24-port 10/100/1000MBps managed switch.
The users in my home (in this case; me) log into any of a number of workstations in my home and authenticate against the server using LDAP. Once authenticated, home directories are available and stored on the server.
This appears to be network related as I can ingest and save locally to the server and open the files without any corruption.

CS6 "End of File" error or crash during build

Hi,
During the build Encore CS6 gets most of the way done writing files and gives me "end of file" error or simply crashes. I haven't had this problem on other projects, any thoughts? I've tried the basics of restarting Encore, restarting the computer, and checking for Encore updates.
I'm using OS 10.7, 8 gb ram, Intel core 2 duo.
Thanks.

Trouble importing tiffs and jpegs

I was importing an image into lightroom in 3 different formats: psd, tiff, and jpeg. I got an error message with the tiff and jpeg stating that the image was already in lightroom. The images all had the same name but were different formats. Does lightroom not recognize that the formats are different and therefore different images, or can it only import 1 format of an image? thanks

LR See's the Others as side cars to the one imported. You can put each type into another folder/directory and they will import. The you can put them all in the same folder from with LR.
This behavior is likely to change, because some many have complained about it. It was not supposed to happen between these three file types, but was impimented for RAW +JPEG pairs, as the JPEG was cnsidered a 'preview' sidecar and JPEGs based on prcessing the RAW could be easily exported at anytime. After much bru-ah-ah, this appears that it will change.

HELP! 'unexpected end of file' error-Is there a fix?! OS 10.4.11

Getting 'Unexpected end of file' error when trying to open a file (that's a rush job) in QuarkXpress 6.5. I attributed it to lack of memory, so I immediately backed up all files and HD to an external drive to free up space. Restarted and prayed... Quark launched, but file won't open. Same error.
Have: 2.1 GHz PPC G5, 1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM OS 10.4.11 (pre Intel)
Capacity: 232.8GB, Available: 163GB, Used 69.6GB
Have been searching help site for 5 hours looking for answer and am DESPERATE! I saved changes regularly, but can't access this file at all... I've lost 2 full days & nights working on this project that has to be done in 2 days.
Ran Disk Utility, but no success opening this specific Quark file (Quark will launch- it's just this file that's affected). Have tried to down load Applejack, etc. but keep finding out they only support OS 10.5 or higher. (Haven't been able to afford upgraded system since Intel requires purchase of full verions of graphics software instead of upgrades to the tune of $6k).
PLEASE, I only know enough to be dangerous, so ANY help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Savvy folks- if I'm in the wrong place, please send me a link where I can solve this personal catastrophy.
Many thanks-in-advance

I think you best do over your work from scratch. You need to make backup copies of the files regularly. You need to have copies on multiple disks or flash drives.
I saved changes regularly
You should know that this isn't sufficient. You need to have multiplte copies of the file. Backup anyone? Could be the file structure got messed up. Could be Quark messed up the file.
You need to get a newer machine. G5's are not reliable any more. Need to see if Quark will run in compatiblity mode on an intel machine. You should at least get an external firewire drive from owc. Old hd's are not reliable.
Boot in safe mode. Hold down the shift key when powering on the machine. This will run a disk repair program. Boot up will take longer as the harddrive is scanned and repaired.
See this article:

Or from:
    mrtotes article :
    Boot from the OS X Install disk and from the Menu Bar choose Disk Utility. Then run "Repair Disk" and "Repair Disk Permissions" on your hard disk.

End-of-file errors

I just came back from a month of travels and shot 3k of photographs. About 70% of my images are plagued with 'end-of-file errors'.
Here's some details:
Nikon D700 with 2 X Transcend 16GB compactflash cards.
All images are NEF (Raw).
I made backups on a portable hard drive every night, but checking them reveals the same errors. I presume these errors were caused from when the data was written to the card rather then when the data was pulled from the card.
Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS3 give me 'end-of-file' errors when I try to work with them.
Nikon's ViewNX 2 software can open the files and even save them out as jpegs, no problem. So as a last resort I'll do this, however it's a lot of extra work, over 2k of pictures to save out as jpegs... ideally I'd like the raws, that's why I shot them in the first place.
I've tried a few pieces of software to help, including PhotoRescue Expert.. it pulled the images off the card, but the errors persist.
I've searched all over the net, including the Adobe forums and haven't found any real solution. So what can I do?
Is there any software that can repair these NEF's? Are they just corrupted and it's just tough luck? Any serious advice would be appreciated.
One more question... has anyone experienced problems with Transcend cards before, I'm wondering about their reliability.
Paul.

Sounds like bad flash media, or a bad link in the physical import chain. You can try extracting the data off those (assuming you have not formatted them) in a different manner, or on a different computer and see if he problem is in the chain somewhere between the card and the computer.
There are utilities to extract data from formatted flahs media, and when you format in-camera the flash firmware will try to spread writes over other parts of the media, so you might get lucky and be able to extract data from formatted media, assuming it is not corrupt on the media.
Which is also a possibility.
The other apps you mention don't actually read the raw image in its entirety as Lightroom does. They just read the file header and the embedded preview (which Lr does not use) so the JPEG you are extracting is just a copy of this preview. If you are lucky you might be able to reimport to get the missing trailing information that seems to be trunctated.
I bet there are command line tools you can script to extract these previews from a group of raw images in a more automated fashion.

End of file error, elements 12

I've recently started getting an 'End of file' error when I try to open around a third of my RAW files in Elements 12.
Very frustrating, as I've some decent photo's, and means I'm taking having to take photo's twice to compensate, not ideal. I wondered if it may be a space issue, so have deleted lots of files from my Toshiba laptop, and in particular edited files that use up more space. This hasn't helped though so I'm pulling my hair out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Yes, definitely, the GB Project file is corrupt, delete it, empty the trash, and it would be a good idea to run some kind of disk repair program, even if it's just Disk Utility. Then create a new project file.
Good luck --HangTime [Will Compute for Food] B-|>

Oraclejsp unexpected end of file error

I am getting an OracleJsp Unexpected End of File error when I use the <logic:present name="add"> <html:form action="myAction" /> </logic:present> tag. "add" is referring to something that was set in a struts action (ie: request.setAttribute("add", "present")). I've even tried a scriplet that checks request.setAttribute and I get the same error. Any ideas? Thanks.

Often, file headers get smurfed. Photoshop is very critical of these headers.
JPEG's seem to be very sensitive to these errors. My trick is to open in a more liberal program, like ThumbsPlus, IrfanView, or PhotoImpact, and then just do a Save, keeping the JPEG compression levels low. This nearly always clears things up for PS.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame
