QT movies corruption and XSAN

Hi everyone,
I've tried using compressor 2.0.1 to encode multiple FCP self-contained movies to our XSAN, from two different computers and both attempts failed. I end up with a corrupted QT movie file that hangs on a white frame at the very beginning of the clip when I try to open it on QT player.
Whe I use the same compression settings to my internal drive or to a direct attached device, it works though. So I'm pretty sure it's something between my XSAN and compressor...
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance,
Marcos H.

I also do get on occasional -2048 error that the QT files coming out of compressor over xsan are incomplete. While they happen occasionally with most files, I did find out that they are ALWAYS corrupted if trying to compress a video that has a 24 bit audio channel attached to it.
I found that compressing using a codec with the audio disabled fixes the problem and i simply attach a seperate audio codec to the batch.
As far as the other corruptions, it seems to be either a hit or miss.. not quite sure...

HT204370 I purchased a movie yesterday and started the download. The download seemed to hang up at about 90%. Finally, it showed that it was ready to watch, but the movie will not play. Download is apparently corrupt. How do I get a working version?

Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films, or if you have problems with the re-downloaded version, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

My Ipod classic is corrupted and I only get the red X on the screen...Cannot move to any other screens. Any ideas on fixing without paying Applw?

Unfortunately there isn't. A Red X is usually an indicator that the HDD has failed, if you are unable to restore the device using iTunes and also not able to reformat using windows prior to restoring then a hardware repair is needed. If your iPod is out of warranty then the pricing you pay is to have the iPod replaced not repaired. You're looking at 129.00 - 179.00 plus shipping depending on the gen.

Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of room, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB.

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of space, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB. I used to have about a dozen movies. One day they were just gone and couldn't sync back on. I used to think it was a syncing problem, but it is storage. I have done a hard restart. I have deleted some junk from "memory". I have tried to "clean up" my iPad, but I am missing a ton of space. Is there a trash can that I need to empty? Are my movies still stored but inaccessible? I have read forum posts about an "other" category in stoarge which I don't see on my iPad. Not sure what else to try.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
An "other" larger than aboutn 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

After using an ExtendScript (via ESTK) Illustrator becomes corrupted and "Can't open illustration."

Hey, thanks for reading.
I'm having a strange problem with Illustrator CS5 and ESTK CS5. I'm new to writing ExtendScripts, so I haven't a clue what could be going wrong here but here's the skinny:
I've written the following code, which is very specialized to the exact document I'm working with. Using the ExtendScript Toolkit, the script goes through the following loops:
The primary problem:
For some reason, running this script causes Illustrator to become somehow corrupted. I can continue working with the document as long as it is open, but if I try to close it and re-open it, I get the infuriatingly unhelpful error dialog "Can't open illustration." With no extra details.
The same error comes up if I try to open any other .ai files. Shutting down and rebooting doesn't fix the problem. I have to completely uninstall Illustrator, then re-install it before it will work again. And even then, if I try to open the ExtendScript-corrupted file the whole Illustrator app gets corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
Oh, also Illustrator itself shows up as "(Not responding)" while the script is running, but the ESTK console clearly shows that the script is chugging along as expected.
Specifics about the script:
There are 4 "Buttons" on the document, and a library full of nearly-identical symbols in the Library (different colored backgrounds for the buttons).
The script cycles through every symbol in the library, replacing and deleting instances of the previous symbol.
Then, for each symbol, it cycles through an array (technically an object-literal) of { language-code: "string" } pairs, and saves a .png of each artboard for each word.
What follows is a pared-down version of the full script:
(I tried to add a few $.sleep(10); calls, hoping that maybe just a brief slowdown in the processes might help. It didn't.)
This script (in its original form) outputs a ton of files very, very quickly.
Script Example
var folder = Folder.selectDialog();                     // Ask for a folder choice.
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;                        // Declare an active Document reference.
var textLayer = aDoc.layers.getByName('text');   // Get the text layer, for moving it back/forward

Are there best practices that I'm unaware of here that could be causing this corruption?
Does anyone know what could be happening?
The only error I ever get is "Can't open illustration." There's never anything more helpful, so I have no idea what could be going wrong.
If there's any more information that would be of use to anyone I'd be happy to share. This is wasting a lot of my time and making me pull my hair out like crazy,

I have not had the time to look over your script but at a glance there are a few things I would handle differently…
Firstly returning a document to a given state… If you play with this snippet you can see that app.undo() returns to the last called app.redraw() if there is one else it undo's the whole script…
#target illustrator
doSymbols();
function doSymbols() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var sym = doc.symbols[0];
    for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        var foo = doc.symbolItems.add( sym );
        foo.position = Array( i * 72, -( i * 72 ) );
        app.redraw(); // Comment this out to see…
    app.undo(); // Returns to last redaw state if any…?
Secondly your symbols… You know you can just change the symbol instance's symbol reference…? If they are almost the same particualy size then its an easy swap…?
#target illustrator
doSymbols();
function doSymbols() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var sym = doc.symbols[1]; // Next symbol in the palette
    for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        doc.symbolItems[i].symbol = sym;
        app.redraw();

I downloaded Mac OS X Lion and when I go to install, it says file cannot be verified, may have been corrupted during download. How do I determine if it is corrupt and how do I get a clean copy of Lion, since I have already paid for it?

Quicktime movies corrupted by adding metadata in Adobe CS3

Recently I happened to switch from using Adobe CS2 to CS3 (don't ask me why, I know they're old versions). I use Adobe Bridge to manage/organize my digital photos and movie files from my digital camera. In CS2, whenever I attempted to select multiple files to annotate with metadata such as description, location, etc., the program would warn me that "some files" in the selection (i.e., the Quicktime .MOV files) could not contain metadata. So I would click OK, continue to annotate the batch, and Bridge would simply exclude the .MOV files and only add the metadata to the photos. When I started using Bridge CS3, I noticed that the warning dialogue box no longer came up. At first I was pleased, and thought, Great, now it's OK to add metadata to my movies as well! But not long after, I started noticing a problem where some of my .MOV files were no longer playable, even though they had been fine immediately after download. Since I only add metadata to about a quarter of my files, it took me a while to see the pattern: Adding metadata to the .MOV files does in fact corrupt them and make them unplayable in Quicktime. CS3 was not doing me any favors by suppressing the old warning! I knew the movies were fine since I had already played them before, but the moment they were assigned metadata, Quicktime refused to recognize the files.
Now that I know the problem I am very vigilant about not adding metadata to movies anymore, of course, but I need to salvage the already corrupted movies, since some of them are precious to me, such as my daughter's birthday videos. I have tried various workarounds such as attempting to convert them to another format with video conversion software, but the conversion software also can't recognize the files now. The best luck I have had is that I can still play the movies using a program called VLC, so I know the essential data is not ruined, it's all still there. And when I have tried a couple of diagnostic tools, they are able to extract the images and recognize the file -- but not able to restore it to its original form. I have also tried deleting the metadata, in Bridge, but that doesn't help. Does anyone know of a method or a program that can help me restore these as Quicktime files? It appears that there are services out there that will charge a lot of money to repair corrupted files, but I really think this should not be so hard or expensive. The integrity of the movies is still there, everything is intact, there's just been a line of code inserted somewhere that shouldn't be there I suppose. I wish I could get in there and delete it myself. It's great that VLC has no problem playing them, but as long as these are unusuable as Quicktime files, I can't send them to my family, upload them to video-sharing sites, etc.
Thanks, anyone, for your help.

I don't know how to fix what was already modified, but in Premiere Preferences, there is a box that is checked by default, something about "Write XMP data" or similar, you'll want to uncheck that.

Best way to move data and programs to another profile on same Mac?

Hello,
What is the best way to move data and programs to another profile on the same Mac? I have a user who's profile is corrupt, I know that most programs will work on both the new and old profile however when trying to copy the Desktop folder, or Documents folder I am getting permissions denied.
Sort of like weeding a garden, I'm hoping I do not have to pick the data in each folder and copy individually.
Thanks for your help!
Johnathon

This usually means that a configuration or preference file is corrupted. In this user's /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder locate any preference files associated with iLinc and drag to the Trash.
I would also check in the /Home/Library/Caches/ folder for a file or folder associated with iLinc and delete as well.
See if the problem is resolved in the user's normal account.
It's not that you cannot copy data from account to account, but doing so causes a lot of permissions issues that must be resolved. The MacFixit article I linked above shows what you need to do after transferring from one account to another in order to change permissions on the "foreign" files to those of the destination account.

AddressBook corrupt and Internet Passwords wiped

Hello--
SOHO network running from ML 10.8.5/Server 2.2.2. My primary workstation upgraded to Mavericks. After spending most of last week rebuilding the server and getting other things fixed, I had hoped to be doing work this week. Unfortunately, the system, in particular my account on Mavericks, remains unreliable (I never thought I'd say this but good thing I had Windows running in a VM so I got some work done!).
The particular problem seems to include at least three issues, which may in part be related.
1) Corruption/zero out of local copy of addressbook (AddressBook-v22.abcddb). My addressbook is served from the ML server which, thus far, has remained intact. However, I find the locally synced copy on Mavericks gets corrupted and then wiped. Here are part of the log entries when this seemed to occur last:
12/9/13 10:44:25.934 AM CalendarAgent[201]: Database file is empty: /Network/Servers/<path_to_user_home>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/<a long uid>/AddressBook-v22.abcddb

    reason = "Failed to replace destination database";
And another entry indicates the Addressbook-v22.abcddb file is corrupted.
I also can note that I had a profile set up through Profile Manager that aimed to log users off after 30 minutes of activity. The profile has not executed successfully yet on either Lion or Mavericks clients. Because it wasn't work, I removed it today.
My first console entry this morning when I tried to use the computer which was hung on Reminders trying to logout:
12/9/13 5:50:23.147 AM AddressBookSourceSync[4917]: 0x7faa506328a0: ManagedObjectContext (ABAddressBook) could not create the store at path: </Network/Servers/<path_to_user>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/<a long uid>/AddressBook-v22.abcddb> - creation error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134090 "A timeout error occurred while connecting to the persistent store." UserInfo=0x7faa5062eac0 {NSSQLiteErrorDomain=5, NSUnderlyingException=error during SQL execution : The database operation timed out after 44321.40 seconds.} {
    NSSQLiteErrorDomain = 5;
    NSUnderlyingException = "error during SQL execution : The database operation timed out after 44321.40 seconds.";
While the computer is in the condition I've described, I cannot start apps for most of the collaborative services (Mail, Reminders, Calendars, Addressbook, Messages). I assume this is because they all rely upon a healthy AddressBook-v22.abcddb file.
2) All passwords in Internet Accounts (poorly named IMO) and Safari get wiped. So far I haven't found any log entries useful to this.
3) Notes associated with my server-provided email account do not behave properly. Again, this appears to be a local syncing issue as the Notes on the server remain and are available via my iPad. However, on Mavericks when I start Notes it bounces and bounces and then will finally start with zero notes. If I close it, and go into Internet Accounts, I have to (re)check the box next to Notes, and then restart. At that point, the app pulls down the current notes from the server. With this third issue, it has been occuring ever since I upgraded to Mavericks and is a condition that exists even when the AddressBook database problem described above is not in place.
My first question then is, what might be causing these addressbook, password and Notes problems, and how do I fix the issue?
I've found if I delete the AddressBook folder from Application Support, I can set up a new Contacts account profile and get the contacts from the server. Everything runs okay for a little bit, but then the problem starts up again.
My second question is whether or not the profile I had been pushing to log off users after 30 mins of inactivity could be a cause of the other issues? Since I removed the package, I'll partially be able to test that myself. The profile was only in place for a few days so the issues with the Notes pre-dates that. Curious if others have thoughts about this.
Thank you.
Tim

Logged in this morning and having same basic issues so it does not appear that forced logoff profile was the culprit.

Indications seem to continue to point towards file permission issues but not sure where they are being generated. All the files and directories in ~/Library/Application Support/Addressbook have a min of RW for the user. I guess I will create a brand new test user on the server and set up dummy addressbook to check other file permissions.
Still welcome other thoughts/suggestions from folks.

p.s., I thought Apple moved away from SQLite?
p.p.s. In my Addressbook folder, under sources, I seem to have three generated directories, each with different unique names. Is this normal?

App updates are corrupt and won't download?

I can download music and movies just fine on my PC. When I try to download updates for my apps (about 14 updates pending), I get an error message telling me that "the file is corrupt and to go to "check for available purchases" again to download the update for each app needing an update. I get the same "corrupt" message when I try to download it again and again? How can I get these apps to update? What's going on?

Are you downloading them all? Try downloading just one.

If restarting the computer and iTunes doesn't work you can try one of these suggestions.
1. If items appear (maybe in grey or different from working songs) but don't play you can try to delete them from your library so they will no longer seem to be there to the iTunes store.
a) select the item
b) press option and delete key assuming a mac keyboard
c) yes, send them to trash
d) restart Itunes, go to store, check for available downloads, and select download all

LR5 "move" corrupting image files

I recently used LR5 to move image files from an old hard drive to a new hard drive. I formatted the new hard drive prior to moving the images onto it.
Instead of the “copy” or “add” function, I used the “move” function, only to find that a fraction of my images were moved to the new hard drive.
When I opened the image folders on the new hard drive (they do not exist anymore on the old hard drive since LR physically “moved” the files), it appeared all of the images were there. But when I used PhotoMechanic and Bridge to view the images that weren’t appearing in LR, I was horrified to see both RAW and JPEG files were corrupted (banding, discoloration).
The files come from a really important project I have been working on since May, and now I am terrified to use LR at all in the event the program corrupts my files again.
Interestingly, when I open the images on Adobe Bridge and click "purge cache for selection", the thumbnail briefly appears normal, then returns to the corrupted preview.
Has anyone experienced anything like this, and is there any way to save my files? I fear I have totally lost faith in LR.

As Jim and Rikk said, the corruption and maybe the lost files is probably a hardware failure. As far as the lost files, there are reports on the forum every couple of months where people lose files doing a MOVE on import or MOVE in LR of imported files from ONE PHYSICAL DRIVE TO A DIFFERENT PHYSICAL DRIVE. Moving files on the same drive seems to be OK. I don't know if this is an obscure bug that shows up because of permissions or something but it has been reported.

Choppy movie, corrupted audio

My computer does not support a Quartz Extreme Compatible Graphic Card. I have an iMovie that became choppy and now has corrupted audio. Could this have happened when I upgraded from standard iMovie to iMovieHD? The iMovie may have been originally created in standard iMovie and upgraded when I opened the file after installing the upgrade. I have some iMovies created using VHS clips which are also corrupted. I have tried deleting the iMovies preferences, which did not help. The iMovie will run fine with the audio deleted. The entire movie, audio and video runs fine on my iBook G4 with the same version of iMovie.

Choppy playback, sometimes called stutter, can occur when a project contains many audio clips. iMovie 6 is a bit more sensitive to the number of clips than earlier versions, which may explain why the problem began after converting.
Here's a (long) description of the problem, offering several workarounds:

Corruption and not restoring,

Have read several issues like this and have tried all suggested methods to no avail.
Video Ipod 30gig which contains a folder I use to carry uni work and other such stuff seems to be the problem [named Hard Drive]. The ipod on the move works fine. When plugged into a mac (at uni) I am told to format the ipod due to corrupt files, when in my p.c at home it works fine but the folder housing my work [hard drive] does not respond. I can click it, but I cannot open it, browse it, copy or delete it, after several mins of freezing it just ignores anything ever happened.
Both Mac and P.C itunes restore last forever, with no porgress being made after several hours.
Have managed to back up music and photos so restore only stands to lose some work and movies, which I can replace, I just cannot get it to restore.
Many thanks.

I have exactly the same problem, I have sent it off to apple, they said it was working fine sent it back, I then conected it to my computer and it just says it is corrupted and will not restore?!?! Apple have let me down on this!
