Originals folder seems to have corrupted images!!! Arhghghhh

Hi all. I'm hoping against hope... iPhoto has been playing up, various freezing etc, however upon recently uploading an image to Flickr notice image was 'all f**ked up'... various bands of colours, and distorted... Thumbnails seem to be fine, and even expand to full size within iphoto fine, but once I 'view original file' or 'get file info' then the 'original' file is shown and then back in iPhoto the thumbnail expands to Black, and or iPhoto crashes.... I'm hoping there is a Jedi mind trick here to find whatever file the thumbnail expands to at high res....
Sorry for lengthy description.... eternally grateful... Dean.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried rebuilding the library? Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

IPhoto 08 exclamation points due to referenced photos. Have reverted back to Managed, trashed problem images, and want to rebuild library or create new library. However, Originals folder contains aliases of deleted images.

1. Will broken images in Originals folder hinder making a backup copy, rebuild, or other attempts at repair? I have Time Machine, never used it, and don't know when when iPhoto became referenced library (due to bad advice) 2. Is it OK to delete broken aliases from the Originals folder (white squares with arrows, jpeg tags, and a Quicktime logo)? 3. Would it make sense to select undamaged images in the Orginals folder for copying to a new library? I am cleaning up Events and exporting healthy photos from iPhoto before trying to copy the entire iphoto library folder. Thanks for your help.

What do you mean by "broken images"?
Never delete anything from the Originals folder, ever.
Try
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Uninstalling Watsapp seems to have corrupted my pics! Cant view pics on media Card...

OK, so watsapp went mental, despite doing several battery pulls it remained crazy. So, of course, the next step would be to delete and reinstall. So I deleted the app. I now find that I cannot open all the pictures on my media card :/ It takes ages to index and though the pics are definately there (file manager showing % of memory card free) I cant get to them. I cant pick up from the PC either - blackberry link isnt picking up anything on my card OR device...(however it HAS taken off 16 random pics and put into a folder in my documents; which incidentally, I cant seem to restore to my z10).
Now I know what you're thinking; memory card has somehow been corrupted right? Well...No because I can view ALL my videos, music and 352 pictures (about 510 are inaccessible). I know it cant be the card as the pictures i can see are a complete mix match of dates from 2009 to present but all randomly mixed up :/
I have re-installed watsapp and all convos have backed up...
I have the latest softwarre so its not that. I can access everything on the card from PC but cant get them over into the link :/ WHY did BB have to make it like it has? (If it aint broke dont fix it!) The software was ace, you could just drag and drop. There is no 'restore' option or anything on my BB link.
I am going to do the obvious - battery pull again. If no joy then rebook with no sim. Still no joy Reboot with no media card. I dont know what else to do.
If I format the card will I lose all the pictures on it? I cant backup to the link either - there is no option :/
Can anyone help me? PLEASE

Hey MissKitten,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Just to clarify, you are not able to view the contents of the media card on your PC as well? (Not through BlackBerry Desktop Software but through My Computer).
I would suggest formatting the SD card, however formatting the SD card will erase all data. So I would attempt to back it up if possible.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

My Applications Folder seems to have gone missing from my dock. I can see it in the finder window but can't get it back to my dock. Any help would be appreciated!

I can see the Application folder in the Finder window but can't seem to get it back on to my dock.

Close all windows and quit all applications.
Launch Finder by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock.
Right click the "Application" folder and select "Get Info".
At the bottom of the resulting window there will be a blue folder icon in the preview section.
Drag the whole window to the right side of the desktop,closer to the Dock.
Now drag the blue preview folder to the Dock right of the separator line.
Right click the folder icon and select "Folder" under "Display as" if it is not shown as folder.
Best.

I have songs on iTunes that seem to have corrupted files with time. The songs play for a while then suddenly stop mid-song and iTunes goes to the next song. On my iPod the playback pauses for a few seconds then picks up again.

Some of these songs were purchased via iTunes. I would like to download them again but the Download buttons are grayed out when I bring up the purchased songs listing. Any help appreciated. Is there any way to quickly get a file integrity check done?
Kerry

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them (if they are still in your country's store) via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. Or delete them and copy them back (File > Add To Library) from your backup of your downloads/library.

CS6 Mini-Bridge showing corrupt image

I didn't know whether to post this in Bridge or here since Mini-Bridge is called from within CS6. I've rarely used Mini-Bridge in the past because it required Bridge to be running, so I didn't see the need. A discussion on another forum had me take a look at Mini-Bridge. It now appears to run without Bridge, though it appears to make some sort of connection to Bridge and have it run in the background. I pointed it to a folder and noticed several corrupt images. I then opened Bridge and they looked fine. I did a screenshot and the image appears corrupt in Mini-Bridge, but fine in Bridge (5.0.2), ACR (7.3), and CS6 (13.0.1). Mini-Bridge will show several of the images corrupted, while they all look fine in Bridge or any other program. I'm running Windows7.
The following screenshots show the problem. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dennis

Mini Bridge always requires Bridge to be active for showing the content of the Bridge files. If you start mini bridge in PS without having Bridge itself zctive a message should appear that you have to launch Bridge and also a launch button to do the task for you.
In Bridge first select the file that appears corrupted in MB and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'. If this is not working first try a reset of the preferences for Photoshop ( on a Mac this is restart PS with holding down shift, option and command key, should be something similar in Windows)
This might work for MB but also resets the other PS prefs to factory default so you have to set your custom wishes again. Not a big deal but you have to be aware of this :-)
Same can be done for Bridge itself with restart Bridge and holding down control key and choose reset preferences. But if your first attempt with purge cache for selection works you can choose the menu tools in Bridge and while having the folder content of the problem files in the content panel choose cache/ purge cache for folder and let it rebuild.

Can't locate RAW images in Originals folder

I shoot in RAW+JPEG.
Well, I uploaded two batches of photos (two separate "Events" in iPhoto) a couple of months ago and am now looking to edit them in Lightroom. In iPhoto, these "Events" show both the JPEG and the Nikon RAW image. Each photo is labeled accordingly in the Information box.
However, when I look in the iPhoto Library packages, these two events do not show up in the "Originals" folder. They only show up in the "Modified" folder, and only as JPEGs! Where have my originals gone??
All of my other RAW images are present in the "Originals" folder. It seems as though only my last two uploads are missing.
Help!

What you're viewing in iPhoto are jpgs that iPhoto created for viewing the image. You're not looking at the the raw file itself.
To determine if you have any raw files in your library search in spotlight for the extension of your raw files. Like ".cr2" or whatever it is. If you don't get any hits that will indicate that the raw files have been removed from the hard drive.
Are you using a managed or referenced library?
Click to view full size
If you're running a reference library is there any chance it could have been a managed library when the raw files were imported. That would explain having the jpg file for viewing and no raw files.
I would also download and use Find Any File to search for the file extension. FAF can search inside packages and areas of the hard drive that spotlight can't.

i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high). please help!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iphoto '11, version 9.4.2

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

In PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but PSD, DNG and CR2 files don't. Also, no thumbnail below the file list.

Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview. I have to open the file to be able to see it. Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's a setting that needs to be changed. I did not have this problem with Elements 12. This is a real bother because I have to use Lightroom to see all the file types. It seems as if Elements is using the standard Windows file loader that can't show previews of file types it doesn't know including .PSD, DNG and CR2. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help.

I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

Any idea what could have happened to profiles that seem to have disappeared from profile folder?

I wanted to experiment with profiles so I created a new profile called "temp". This seemed to work but when I tried to go back and reselect any of the older profiles I received an error message saying that this couldn't be done while any instance of Firefox was running (none were).
Also, when I opened the Profiles folder I only found the "temp" profile I had just created but none of the other, older profiles even though they were listed in Profile Manager.
I've lost my bookmarks and who knows what else. I did a search of my C drive to see if perhaps the missing profiles might have been located in a folder other than the profiles folder. I even did a search for .sqlite files. I did find some very old versions of my profiles that I had copied over from a previous computer but these did not have my up-to-date bookmarks. Any ideas? Seems crazy, I know. Thanks.

Thank you, cor-el, for this information. It certainly explains why I was getting the message that Firefox was already running.
I can see in my profiles.ini file (see attached image) the (4) profiles that also show up in the profile manager. The the question remains, what happened to the profile file, which I now believe was the "Richard III" profile, that was in use prior to my creating my "temp" profile (that I recently renamed "Feb 2011")? No attempt was made to delete the "Richard III" profile either with the profile manager or otherwise. Simply creating the "temp" profile seems to have blown the "Richard III" profile out of existence, leaving not a trace.
As you can see, the "Richard III" profile's path leads, as usual, to the Profile folder. But only the "temp" profile is found there.
One of the specified paths, the one for the "Richard" profile, leads to a folder that's not directly related to Mozilla. The "Richard" profile (which I used as bases for the "Feb 2011" profile) is a profile that's over a year old. I assume it became the bases, way back when, for the "Richard III" profile, the profile that's apparently vaporized.
I hope this makes sense even if the loss of the "Richard III" profile does not.

I seem to have a corrupted iTunes library. I can't transfer the library to an external drive. The transfer hangs up on a specific tune. Anybody have any ideas. I am running OS 10.6 w/ a 2Ghz Duel core processor.

I seem to have a whole new utilities folder overnight.

Hello.
Yes, my Utilities folder, which I opened to run Disk Utility - Repair Permissions, seems to have a whole NEW bunch of utilities that I don't remember having at all.
There are: "AirPort Setup Assistant for Graphite and Snow", "Bluetooth File Exchange", "Airport Utility", "Directory", "Directory Utility", Migration Assistant", "Network Utility", "OBDC Administrator", "Podcast Capture", "Raid Utility", "Voiceover Utility" and some strange "XII".
Are these new utilities that are supposed to be in the utilities folder or am I losing my mind? I just don't recognize most of them and I've had Leopard for about 2 months now.
I had trouble with Photoshop Elements this morning as well. Every time I tried to save a photo, it would tell me to go to Finder-Get Info-, and then change the sharing/permissions boxes. This doesn't work and I can't close the "Get Info" windows small gold lock at the bottom which looks a little funny too.
Also, my Repair Permissions Utility comes up with tons of permission repairs that need to be made, but then the Repair Disk button does nothing to fix the permissions.
Any help would be appreciated.........

Hi Craig.
Much thanks again.
I just posted another problem/question that probably has a lot to do with this. Check my latest post.
When I open whole "my pictures" folder it says basically everybody can read and write. It says modified @ about 1:30 PM, which is the last time I myself changed the settings in the hopes of getting Photoshop Elements authorizing my work again.
When I open my "Home Folder" it says the same thing.
When I try to open an isolated image in photoshop alone, there is no where I see a "Get Info" link in the "File" tab. This happens as well in "Preview" when I open a pic on my desktop.
And for now, Photoshop Elements is working ( ? ). I'm able to save files etc.
Should I change the permissions back to what you mentioned as being the default settings?
The only thing I did today before using PSE was import 2 cd's into itunes.
But PSE is working now even with the self inflicted permissions change.
What concerns me now is the problem described in my last post. I've a feeling that if I go back to the default permissions settings, I'll be able to use my accounts window again.
I really appreciate your help and would be happy to answer anymore questions you might have.
Thank you!

I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size. They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder. I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

I have lost pictures in my iPhoto. We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing. Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture. When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open. However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb). How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder? I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file. Help!!

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
