Opening up damaged/corrupted JPEG files

I've recently had a bunch of JPEG pictured transferred from a damaged external drive, and when I try to open some of the with Apple's "Preview" it tells me that file can't be opened because it is damaged or in a file format that is not recognized. Is there a program out there that might be able to open these damaged files?

You'd want to ask in the Adobe Photoshop forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop)
There are people there who've successfully repaired JPGs and can recommend software for it.

Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files!

I just cant understand this???
Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files and some other file formats. PSD and PNG works.
I have try with the latest iMac and the latest Mac Book Pro, both with Mavericks and Yosemite. Im saving to their internal hard drives. I can not open the corrupted photos on any application.

Nobody else has had problems with the files saved by Photoshop.
Are you sure you aren't just saving the wrong file extension on a different file type (i.e.: a PSD file with .jpeg on the end still isn't a JPEG file)?

Opening word, excel, pdf, jpeg files as attachments on iphones

I've always been able to open word, excel, pdf & jpeg files as attachments on my iphone 5. But recently, everytime I tried to open one of these, the file image turned up all grey, and in the case of jpeg files, it just kept on loading, loading & loading, but never finished loading ... It seems like this happened after I updated to IOS 6.1.4 recently... This is just a guess. Could anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Srinivas,
Thank you for your reply. It helped me get to a solution. In essence I needed to copy the Unix file to an internal table and then save it to the end user's PC file. Then I am able to open the document / attachment.
I created a new function to:
1) call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse, to ask the end user to pick a PC directory to copy the Unix file attachment to.
2) Then using the following code, copy the Unix file (as determined by application or user) to an internal table. Note that the line is not limited by a certain length.
types: begin of t_tab,
          line type string,
         end of t_tab.
data: k_wa_itab type t_tab,
        t_it_itab type standard table of t_tab.
open dataset v_unixfilename for input in binary mode.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    raise unix_filename_read_error.
endif.
do.
    read dataset v_unixfilename into k_wa_itab-line.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      exit.
    endif.
    append k_wa_itab to t_it_itab.
enddo.
close dataset v_unixfilename.
3) Using call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, save the contents of the internal table to the PC directory from step 1 above.
4) Open the Attachment from the end users PC via:
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
It seems like a long way to get this to work, but it is working. If there is a better way maybe someone else can fill in the blanks. Ideally a tool to read and open from a file from Unix without using the cl_gui_frontend_services would be ideal.

PSE Will not open and .psd or .jpeg files

Please help, I have been using PSE 11 with success to edit hundreds of pics. However now all of a sudden it will not open any .psd or .jpeg files. When I go to PSE menu - open a finder window opens up and when I go to choose a file, the open finder window goes disapears and then the menu bar gets faded out so I cannot access any of the menu options in PSE. There are have not been any PSE warnings or messages. I have to use force quit on PSE. I have restarted my computer and even uninstalled and reinstalled PSE 11 and this still did not solve the issue. I am running OSX 10.9 with 16 GB of memory and a 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo.

That was BRILLIANT how you somehow knew I had the coverflow view open. I tried to close the coverflow first thing but PSE closed down again so I went through the steps again previously suggested .........in my Finder - Library - Preferences - and deleted the follow again: (com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Paths / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Settings) I was then able to close the coverflow view and the combination of tweeks helped. I can now get back to work after three days of headaches trying to solve this puzzle.
THANK YOU!!!

Try to open a possible corrupted PPT file

Does Microsoft have any tool to repair a corrupted PPT file? Do I have to use the 3rd party recover tool to fix the problem?
I tried to insert a slide from PPT file but did not find that option available when I attempted to open the corrupted PPT file.
Thanks.

Hi,
Which Office version did you use? Is it a password-protected file? Was the file sent to you as an e-mail attachment?
If your file is truly corrupt, there are a number of things you can try to recover it.
Use Slides from Files on the Insert menu.
Locate a TMP file.
Open the presentation in Microsoft Office Word.
Move the file to a different place.
Open the file in a different way.
Use Safe Mode.
Use Damaged Presentations Troubleshooters.
Try a third-party recovery tool.

Corrupted JPEG Files

Apologies, I may have chosen the wrong category.
I've been trying to find a software recommended to sort out a corruption pb with JPEG files that I have recovered following a hard drive crash.
What would the Mac community recommend to optimise my chances to read these files ?

Here's an old site that might prove interesting

Be sure to backup the original damaged jpegs and only work on the copies.

Unable to open scanned Kaiser Baas jpeg files in Photoshop Elements 6

I have scanned photos and negatives using Kaiser Baas Photo & Negative scanner. I am unable to open the jpeg files produced using Photoshop Elements 6, any advice on how to?

I don't seem to have any trouble opening the file in pse 6 on windows xp.
I'd reset the pse 6 editor preferences and see if that makes a difference.
Press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt just after starting the launch of the pse 6 editor
Keeping holding down the keys until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
Press Yes in that dialog

Corrupted jpeg files (which other apps read fine)

Hi, I'm running Lightroom on OS X. I imported several years of photos into it, and almost all were added to the Library just fine, but for two images (both JPEG files), Lightroom told me it can't read them because they're corrupt.
The thing is, these same images are viewable just fine in:
- Photoshop CS
- OS X Finder
- OS X Preview
- Picasa
- Windows Explorer
- anything else I've tried
Anyway I can find out why Lightroom thinks they're corrupt, and fix them so Lightroom can manage them?

Betty: I've retried at least 5 times, no luck. (I've seen a similar intermittent problem importing JPEG files which were not corrupt, directly from a flash card reader, and Lightroom only got about 60% of the files; I tried again and it got the rest. This problem is different though -- the files are already on my local hard drive, and no amount of retrying seems to help.)
John: Can you recommend any such tools? I'm willing to use whichever OS; I have Linux and Windows around as well. I tried a couple, but didn't turn up anything. I'm a fan of DataRescue (as a software developre, their IDA tool is really good) so I tried PhotoRescue, but it seems targetted specifically at recovering data from a corrupted flash card, and doesn't work on individual files at all.

Suddenly can't open some of my jpeg files, says error-43

Dear All,
I'm currently using OS X Leopard 10.5.1. I have a NTFS formatted HDD connected to my OSX, to store and share data with another Windows PC in my network. I installed MacFuse and NTFS-3G to enabled me to write and read from that particular HDD.
Recently, I found out that some of my jpeg files and a particular zipped files can't be accessed. When I tried to access it, it says "Unknown error-43" or similar.
When I tried to delete it, it can't be deleted (can't be copied or anything else). Tried to drag it to Desktop, but it doesn't allow me to (it shows a small icon of the "not allowed" sign). I also noticed that in my trash bin there's a file that can't be cleaned as well (even though I tried to emptied the trash), the file name is some weird characters and ends in .?: or something. If I dragged that file to Desktop, it'll be gone and trash emptied, but if I tried to access one of the "missing jpegs" file, it'll show up again.
I also connect another external HDD for my Time Machine, but when I found out it performs so slow and tend to freeze my Mac, I disconnect it and stop using Time Machine. When I connect the HDD again, it doesn't backed up the file I'm trying to find.
What gives? Any thoughts would be appreciated

The error, 43 is a "file not found" error or some such similar thing:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1618
It sounds as if the file has become corrupted and while it shows up in the directory it may not exist or it may be corrupted.
I suggest that you deal with these files in the Windows environment. In OS-X they sometimes show up as "ghost" files when trashed, because the trash bins are "shared" and OS-X cannot delete a Windows file even though it can be put into the trash.
Accessing files between Windows and Leopard must be done very carefully since each OS may "touch" the file and change it in some way that the other OS cannot deal with it, as you may be finding out.
It's best to copy a file into OS-X and then deal with it, and vice-versa when in Windows, and never directly access it with another app.

My Preview is open all my pics at time instead of open one by one. It occurs when I try to open any type of JPEG file. That's strange and I'm a new macbook user. I hope somebody can help me out. Thanks

First use JPanel not Panel.
Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
panels=new Panel();
panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
panels=new JPanel();
panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

Corrupt JPEG: Bad Huffman Code

Hello
I've been having intermittent trouble with images going all
crazy on me. I have Dreamweaver 8 on my Intel based Mac. I
downloaded the free trial version of CS3 onto my husband's PC and
when I tried opening the same document on his computer I get
"Corrupt JPEG File: Bad Huffman code". Does anyone know what this
means and how do I fix it. This has happened the odd time before.
Please help!

Why do I get corrupted JPEGs when saving images in Camera Raw, CS6, Mac 0S Mavericks

I occasionally get corrupted JPEG files when processing RAW files in Camera Raw. The images will have lines of pixels that ar out of line, and or whole sections will be truncated and show white or black. I'm using PS CS6, Camera Raw 8.6 on a Mac with OSx Mavericks. Not sure, but it might have something to do with the Bridge Cache, which also acts up when it's getting full. Anyone else have this problem, or any advice.
Thanks!

right click on the jpeg (the other mouse button then you use to click with) or on trackpad, hold down control and click, in the menu that pops up, click on "get info" next, if the box labeled "locked" is checked, uncheck it. Down at the bottom, there should be a box with your user name, "staff" and "everyone". to the right of this are options to change these you may need to click the small padlock icon and enter in your password. then change all of the permissions to read and write.

Error Message: Premature end of JPEG file

I put a WORD text box on the front page of my association's
webpage thru Contribute. When it was time to remove it, I tried,
but kept getting a message: Premature end of JPEG file... I finally
gave up and had a web designer remove the box but I still get the
same message... once i hit cancel often enough, it closes
Contribute altogether.!
I have also received a message that there is a DRAFT of the
page ....but no where do I find it.
HELP!!!

I think you have corrupted jpeg-file (image) in your page.
Can you post an url to the page?
Concerning the draft: are you the only publisher to the
website or are there other users that might have a draft saved.
