Photoshop CS4 "Cannot save due to an end-of-file error" Help

This problem occurs daily, probably 15-20 times per project. I take on normally 3-4 projects per day, so you can see how annoying this is. Basically when I'm saving, I get a dialogue box that says "Cannot save your file due to an end-of-file error" or something to that extent. I would love to resolve this, this problem is persistent and it's driving me out of my mind I'm saving to a network, if that has any correlation. Thanks in advance   
     Chris

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See: 
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
  Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
     Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
    Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
  If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Unexpected End of File Error

    I am getting a Could not open due to unexpected end of file error messages on a bunch of jpg's I am receiving via email. The files open in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

    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,

  • Not enough Ram memory and cannot save due to a program error in photoshop cs6

    Hi, I'm currently a beginner at photoshop cs6, and I've been using it since december last year, mostly to draw stuff and it has worked fine with few to no errors at all.
    However, recently when I've been drawing, the same message keeps popping up over and over again "Can't use (tool) due to the computer not having enough ram" followed by either "cannot save due to program error" or, it just simply crashes.
    This is obviously a something that worries me A LOT since at first, I thought that it was just a small error, but recently, it's been like this for several day s and I've been forced to re-start the computer (and photoshop) countless times... It really slows down my working progress and is VERY annoying to deal with.
    As a beginner though, I don't really know how to fix this. I've been trying to look up some answers on this site, but I've just not found any answer yet...
    I'm currently using photoshop cs6 that's up to date and I've got lots of memory left on my computer, so, I'm wondering. What exactly is the cause of this problem, and how can I fix it? Please answer as fast as you can.. I'm getting a bit desperate...
    Oh, in case you're wondering, they're all saved as PSD files and every single one of them has about 15+ layers on them.

    It would help if you could list a few things:
    1. Your operating system
    2. How much physical RAM do you actually have in your machine?
    3. Under Preferences > Performance, have you allocated "Scratch Disk(s)"?
    4. Also under Preferences > Performance > Memory Usage, what is the "Ideal Range" listed there, and what % is "Let Photoshop Use"?

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • There was an unexpected end of file error

    I am currently using DNG Converter 8.1 and converting NEF files from a Nikon D600.
    Occacionally I get an error message on some of the files. 
    "The was an unexpected end of file error"  It only happens on some of the ffiles but I can not figure out what is wrong or how to fix the problem.

    plasticAnimal wrote:

    Consider checking your disk drive, or just getting a new one.
    If known good (on disk) files go bad, problem is usually disk (or ram).
    If files known to be good on card, are bad after transfer, problem is usually with the transfer hardware.
    If files bad on card, problem is usually camera or card, but may be reader...
    Problem is not likely due to DNG Converter software (nor OS) - sorry Jeff if not worded strongly enough for you.

  • What causes 'Unexpected end-of-file' error?

    Hi,
    I am a photographer and an avid Lightroom user. I have two camera's (Nikon D700 and D300) and two computers, a desktop PC and a MacbookPro. Lightroom is installed on both computers.
    For the last three photoshoots I have had this problem where 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 images in Lightroom on my desktop PC suddenly gives a 'Unexpected end-of-file' error. First I thought it was my camera. But then I loaded the images onto my MacbookPro and they worked fine. Then I took some images with my other camera, loaded them on to my Desktop PC, and, voila, same problem.
    The problem specified: the image stops rendering a preview. A dull preview appears. At the top of the screen the message appears: "An unexpected end-of-file occurred." The histogram window stays empty and the image can not be developed.
    I have browsed through this forum some looking for the cause and the fix. There are some mentions of it, but they all date back to 2007.
    I run LR 2.2 on Windows XP SP2 and on a MacbookPro with OS X, version 10.5.8.
    Please help me understand the cause of this problem, and help me find a fix?
    Thanks,

    While the corruption in your .NEF file could come from any one of a number of sources, here is a way to recover at least some of the information if you own Adobe Acrobat.  Your .NEF file should contain a smaller JPEG file created by your Nikon camera when the picture was taken.  Even if the .NEF file is corrupt, the JPEG may well be intact, and you can tell that's the case if a preview is visible in Lightroom or Bridge. 
    If you try to print it from Bridge or Lightroom, though, you will get an error.  You can get around this by loading up a CODEC that will let you preview the files in Windows Photo Gallery.  Nikon has one available for download to use with Vista x32 at http://www.nikonimglib.com/nefcodec/index.html.en, but it doesn't support Vista x64, so if you're running that (as I am) you'll need a second party CODEC such as the one available from http://www.ardfry.com/Products.htm with a 15-day trial download available.  They also have a DNG CODEC which I have not tried.
    With that CODEC installed and your system rebooted, preview the damaged NEF file in Windows Photo Gallery.  Choose the "Print" option and select the "Adobe PDF" printer.  Choose the "Postscript Custom Paper Size" option, and set the dpi resolution to the highest available (4000).
    Go to the "Options" link on the bottom right of the window and uncheck the "Sharpen For Printing" box, as you can do this yourself with later processing.  Then go to the "Printer Properties" link to see the Adobe PDF settings.
    Go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab and choose Default Settings: High Quality Print, which will set the resolution to 2400 dpi. 
    You want to have Acrobat interfere as little as possible with the output, so select "Edit" from the Default Settings tab, which will bring up the "High Quality Print - Adobe PDF Settings" dialog.  Here, turn off the "Optimize for fast web view" check box, then go to the "Images" folder and set the "Downsample" setting to Off and the pixels per inch to 2400.  Also, set "Compression" to Off.
    If you're going to do this in the future, you can also "Save As ..." your settings for future use with a name like "Fix Bad NEF Files."
    Print the file to a designated folder.  It won't be quite as good as the NEF file would have been, but at least you haven't lost the shot.

  • Project Won't Open - End of File error

    I have an Encore CS4 project that uses Dynamic Link to an HD Premiere Pro CS4 project and I completed it and burned a DVD 2 months ago. Now I am trying to open the Encore project so I can transcode to Blu-ray, but after 10 minutes or so I get the "End of File" error message. So I can't open the project to change anything. Thoughts?

    I had already opened the project in PPro, rendered it completely, closed it and tried again. No luck. But then I went into the Encore project folders: Sources/Transcodes and deleted the PPro project folder containing all the transcodes. Then the Encore project opened (without these transcodes). That was fine because they were the DVD transcodes and I am now building a blu-ray image.

  • Logical end of file error

    I am getting a "logical end of file error =39" message when trying to export audio to SDII for making a time stamped (BWF) . Any ideas?

    How long is the wedding video?
    My standard list of things to do first...
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Reboot your Mac.
    If you still can not get it to run correctly, next thing to try is to throw out the iDVD preference file (don't forget to change back those preferences you want different from the defaults next time you run it). If it still doesn't work, then I would suggest you reinstall iDVD.

  • 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.

  • 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.
