Reinstalling a corrupted file.

Recently after running disk utility I began, and continue, to get an file error that the following file needs to be reinstalled.
System/Library/Extensions/hpPlugininit.kext
I assume this is a Hewlett Packard printer extension, and from what I have found so far it is recommended that I must reinstall it from the OSX install disk. HP doesn't offer a download for these files, it seems.
When I started to reinstall from the Install disk, it seems I cannot customize the install for just printer files, but OSX wants to reinstall at minimum all essential operating files. It seems to me that means I will then have to use Software Update to get the latest updates. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a way to reinstall or repair this file in another manner?

actually, you can install just the printer drivers and you don't even need to boot from the DVD. open the DVD in finder, double-click on the optional installs->optional installs.mpkg and follow the instructions. on the screen with the choice of things to install select Printers. also, you can download the latest HP drivers from the apple site

  • Computer shuts on and off some corrupted files - no virues now

    Listed below are some of the errors I found on event log in the laptop:
    I have a Qosimo 8 megs of memory, windows 7 64 bit. Running AVAST 7.0 antivirus and Malwarebytes - both paid subscriptions. I think the model number is 830 530 I bought in 2009.
    The shutdown problem has
    been happening on and off for the last six months. I had two major instances of trojans taking over my machine and it caused constant shutdowns. AVAST worked with me on one and they had me use malwarebytes and spybot and hijack this. They took over my computer to get it up and running properly, but this new round of errors a trojan was found in the registry key and the startuptoolbar. Two nights ago I had another shut down several times and after running malwarebytes and antivirus I could find no errors so I’m leaning toward corrupted files? Is there anyway to fix these files without having to reformat the hard drive?
    I did run a computer repair and a computer memory repair tonight using F8 and no problems were found by the computer. I’m not sure what to do with these errors in event viewer.. I get the toshiba error
    quite often and it madely stops me from going online with my internet connection, and I had downloaded a newer version but same problem – I use windows repair in network and the error is always resetting the toshiba network IP. I just put a note into toshiba on that problem.
    I also use microsoft silverlight for my fenderfuse application which needs that software operate properly. I’m not sure exactly what to do with that Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. It states to check libraries – but what am I checking for? I do not have a lot of programs on the laptop but not sure what to look for in library?

    Sometimes my computer shuts down often on its own and I find a Trojan - other times it shuts down often during a start up and I find no viruses as was the case yesterday.  Today I did not get on the internet and the computer worked fine.  
     I guess I need to know if there is a way to reinstall the corrupted files without having to go back to the default settings when I got the computer.  Does toshiba have a windows repair disc that works better then what I did with using F8 and having a system repair and memory check done that found no errors?  I also installed the latest Toshiba service station and it did not fix the error problems in events log.  When I did a restore it was before this was added so now my computer is working properly with windows on connecting to the internet wireless.
    Malwarebytes said that by looking at these event viewer logs that it does not appear that I have a virus now but I do have corrupted files and can toshiba help me in getting them fixed.  I really hate to do a complete reformat.
    Thanks

  • Please help! My Itunes says corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling so I moved it to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I can't delete or open to close it, what do I do

    Please help!
    My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

    It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
    Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
    I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

  • I can not reinstall iTunes.  Corrupted files in AAS

    After my Vista update, I got alert that iTunes had a corrupt file and needed to be reinstalled.  I tried repairing with no luck so I uninstalled and redownloaded.   Now when I try to install i get the following error:    Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\ApplePushService.dll  Verify that you have access to that directory.   I am running as admin so I do have access. I have tried deleting the AAS file and it tells error 0x80070091.   If i try to open the folder it says that the files are corrupt and cannot be opened.    I have tried system restore back to a previous point and it says I cannot restore due to corrupt files on C: and to schedule check disk at next start up but it never runs when i start up.   I'm @ a total loss!!!  
    Thanks for any help!

    You're welcome!
    Are there risk leaving that other directory that is corrupted on my PC???
    The directory itself shouldn't do any damage apart from take up drive space.
    You could try using a file deletion utility to remove it. FileAssassin is worth a try:

  • I have some corrupted files on my OS9.2. hard drive that won't delete.

    My computer is in three sections, the OS X is fine, but both OS9.2 drives are causing me trouble. The additonal OS9.2 drive is purely for music, but originally my audiophile card 2496 was installed on both drives. I had a problem with the sound on the small drive so I uninstalled everything and then reinstalled it all. The music records alright now, but when I close Cubasis it freezes on the small drive . When uninstalling all the music I found I couldn't delete all the audiophile card files that were on the main hard drive - they were in an invisible file marked usr (that is the spelling used) and the rest of the path was greyed out. I tried to delete them straight from Sherlock but to no avail. I am wondering now whether to reinstall the OS9.2 system on both hard drives but need to ask a few basic questions. When I do this will this fix the 'corrupted files' that are already there or will this cause more trouble. Will I lose all the work that I have already done on these files or should I make sure and do a back-up onto DVD just in case. How does one reinstall the Operating System? I have the disc but just not sure what to do as I haven't done it before. Will these corrupted files do more damage to the computer if I just leave well alone - it is a nuisance restarting the computer every time I use Cubasis but I would sooner do that than get into more of a muddle than I am in at the present.

    Hi, peckerpac -
    If I deep-wipe the drive what exactly does that mean?
    That means the drive is effectively stripped of all data, including the removal of the disk directories. A file (or folder) that refuses to be trashable indicates there is probably damage to the directory. DiskWarrior usually can fix that; apparently not in this case.
    Once the drive has been stripped, the initialization process creates a new structure on the drive so that it is usable for data storage, including new directories.
    When you say I can't deep-wipe a partition, do you mean that the whole Hard Drive OSX as well will be deep wiped, or does it mean that only the OS9 part that needs it will be wiped?
    A hard drive that has been partitioned has had its disk subdivided into two or more volumes. For most things the Mac will treat each volume as if it were a separate hard drive - each volume will have its own icon on the desktop; files can be copied from one volume to another; if each has an OS, each will appear individually in Startup disk control panel and in Startup Manager; etc.
    However, although the Mac treats each partition as if it were a separate drive, they aren't - they are still part of the same physical drive.
    A single partiton can be erased, for example by using the Erase function in the Special menu in OS 9. Unfortunately all that an Erase does is to delete entries in the disk directory - none of the data is actually removed, including the directories themselves.
    A deep-wipe of the drive is part of a broader initialization of the drive; this affects the entire drive, meaning all partitions of the drive will be wiped of all data.
    Will I lose everything when I deep wipe the drive?
    Everything that is on that drive, on all partitions of that particular drive, yes.
    As Grant noted, the Big System Morsels error usually indicates a problem with the machine being able to read the CD properly. Often that can be fixed by cleaning the CD. A Mac's optical drive is far less tolerant of smudges (fingerprints, etc.) on a data disk (such as an install CD) than it is with such on an audio disk.

  • Possibly Corrupt files on my iPhone 3GS?

    Hi everyone, hopefully someone can guide me int he right direction.
    Last summer I upgraded my 3G to a 3GS, I imported all of my content from my 3G onto my 3GS.
    I can exactly pinpoint when the problems started, but here's the list of what has been happening for at least the last 6 months:
    - Native apps (mail/safari) randomly crashing
    - When I go into an out of service area (eg an elevator) it takes at least 2 minutes to reconnect/recognize the network, turning on and off airplane mode works 50% of the time, most of the time I end up having to shut the phone off and on
    - Had a ghost email in my mobileme inbox until a full wipe/restore by the apple store
    - Random crashes/locks and bouncing me to my enter passcode screen
    - BIGGEST ISSUE: When I try to update the firmware to the latest version (I always make sure itunes is updated first), it fails halfway through and then bricks my phone into a restore cycle with an error # that I can't recall, but I know researching it didn't do me any good. This cycle goes on for about an hour before the restore & update finally works.
    I went to the apple store finally last Friday to see what they could do for me. All they did was wipe/restore my phone and tell me "don't install any apps".
    Within the first 10 hours of use (which is pretty limited without apps) I had Safari crash. Last night I plugged my iphone into my mac to charge, and it proceeded to synch. Immediately after it synched and I tried to use it, my sms app crashed twice upon trying to open it and respond to a message.
    I'm not sure if this is possibly a corrupt file in my back up? Or if this phone is just a lemon. It's definitely not caused by any applications that are installed because I haven't reinstalled any.
    Does any one have other experiences with something like this? It was suggested by someone at Rogers (my carrier) that it could be a corrupt contact or file? But that doesn't explain the crash before it had synched fully. I have mobileme, so my contacts automatically synched off my Apple address book.

    Was your iPhone restored at the Apple store as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, or restored from your iPhone's backup?
    If the former, you followed this by restoring your iPhone again with iTunes from your iPhone's backup when returning home?
    I'm not sure if this is possibly a corrupt file in my back up? Or if this phone is just a lemon. It's definitely not caused by any applications that are installed because I haven't reinstalled any.
    If your iPhone has not been restored with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, do so. If the same occurs after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, this will indicate there is a problem with your iPhone and needs to be exchanged under warranty. If the same does not occur after doing so, this will indicate there is a problem with your iPhone's backup.

  • InDesign CS3 program will not open - Win XP - after trying to open corrupt file.

    Help! the program Adobe InDesign will not open up anymore.
    Here is the story and what I have tried. One week on the 16th my server crashed two of the three hard drives failed (RAID) I had the two replaced. Since then all seamed to be ok but few of files were missing and some that I tried to open would crash InDesign I assume that the files got corrupt from the HD's going bad. Server kept telling me to run CHKDSK utility. I ran it and and some of the files reappeared. Today, thinking that the Chkdsk utility had fixed the bad files I tried to open one of the files that caused InDesign to crash and it crashed again.
    Now I cannot open InDesign at all when I try to launch InDesign within 3-4 seconds Adobe will crash!  Reboot and try again same thing.
    I tried to delete the files in the Recovery folder thinking it was trying to open the corrupted file that it last tried to open. Same thing.
    I moved the preference folder to the desk top thinking that it might have been causing the problem - no change.
    I reinstalled InDesign over top of the existing program (did not uninstall first) rebooted and tried to launch - no change.
    I tried system restore, None of my restore points that I have tried (auto restore points) will restore my system for what ever reason.
    Please Help with any suggestions I need this fixed soon.

    Installing CS3 was a pain, and the installer is very sensitive to conflict with just about everything under the sun, so you need to run it in a bare-bones boot (but not safe mode). I turn off ALL non essential programs and services using MSConfig when doing a CS3 install.
    That said, yes, running the CS3 clean script will probably remove all things Adobe from the system. The Microsoft utility is much more benign than the description makes it sound -- it removes registry information for previous installations so there is no trace of them to confuse the OS. I'm not aware that it has removed anything other than what it was told to remove, but I've only had to use it once, I think.
    You can try a simple uninstall/reinstall first (and you should be able to remove and reinstall just ID from the suite if you use the original disks). That will certainly be faster and less painful than the clean script, but may not work. Seems odd that a serrver crash should have corrupted a local installation, though, so you might want to take a close look at the machine for other problems, perhaps some sort of malware invasion.

  • Corrupt files on computer or corrupt ipod?

    My first ipod 30 gb would not work because of corrupt files after 1 week. I could not fix it. My second ipod never worked. I uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. Always the corrupt ipod message.

  • Music not playing. Corrupted files?

    Ok so my library exists on an unjournaled external drive. I got another one to accommodate my video collection and left the iTunes library on the original HDD. After a few days of HDD maintenance (longest being defragmenting, which I did more than once in the time frame) on all 3 of my drives all data was in great shape. Later I ran into an error, my eDrive would mount and unmount constantly and I couldn't eject the drives. I proceeded to shut my computer down. The new HDD (without the eDrive) successfully ejected upon shut down, the second remained completely on, spinning and everything. Normally the drives power off when ejected and then I hit the power switch. I reluctantly turned it off. When I rebooted I ran a check for corrupted data, one unimportant image file was corrupted. Not bad. Later I found a 1.8GB (ish) game would not open and asked to be reinstalled. I did so and lost my character data, oh well. Now I find that chunks of my iTunes library (no podcasts, just music) are not playing. Those chunks I would consider localized as they remain in the albums. When playing through, iTunes will simply skip the tracks and go on to the next playable one. I reveal the file in the Finder and attempt to open it in Quicktime and it is not a file that Quicktime understands (-2048). So what is here? Even after syncing the files are still on my iPod, should I delete them from iTunes and use Senuti to get them back? Anything is welcome.
    Bonus points to anyone who can tell me if there's a way to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing my iPod on connection. An example of what I mean is I hold a key as iTunes launches to prevent the sync.
    Thanks,

    And to anyone else, I've found that some corrupted files have made it to my iPod. It just skips them and continues. I have yet to find out if it is growing, and if it is I have some paranoia theories.
    1. Modern Mac Virus (But the last Mac virus would of been released before iTunes it's been so long, it couldn't be)
    2. iTunes corrupts songs that are not purchased from the iTMS
    3. The RIAA has a virus that spreads to computers without copy protected music
    I doubt my defragmenting harmed it. Luckily I can just get my music back, but it's a time consuming process and something I shouldn't have to do..

  • Downloaded new itunes...corrupted file

    I tried to download the new 6.0.5 itunes version and it downloaded completely and asked if i wanted to run the program. i clicked run and it loaded a bar that said itunes + quicktime but when it finished loading it said that the file was corrupt and that i needed to download a fresh copy. I delete the file from my computer and try redownloading. this time it takes seconds because it was loaded once before. Still i get the same message that it is a corrupt file and that i need to load a fresh copy...how can i get it to work?

    Well, before installing a new download, you would
    probably need to uninstall the old version at this
    point, or it will probably continue to give you the
    corrupt file message.
    if you have issues in uninstalling and reinstalling,
    try some of the things in this link...
