Restoring corrupted files

I have 70 RAW files that are corrupted and won't read in Aperture or Photoshop. The info must be there since they are 5.8 mb. Any ideas how I might restore these files?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

What happens if you put the card back in the camera? Can you see the photos? Do you think these got corrupted on import?
A few months ago while out of town I had a real jolt to my faith in digital when I had to borrow a card reader and it corrupted every file on import to my Powerbook. I realize this is no different than a lab messing up a roll of film but that never happened to me either. If this is what happened to you, try Image Rescue from Lexar. I had 100% success!!

Restoring corrupted files in Premiere due to unknown error

Got a big problem. I had a project open in Premiere and everything was fine. While doing something else leaving the job on the screen, it "lost" the harddrive, so the whole thing was still on screen but not online anymore. So I restarted the pc and the harddrive was back. But I could not open the file again because some unknown error orrured. i can not go back to the previous one as Premiere apparently did not leave any backup file for some reason. I still have another version of it, but of course work from the last week is all gone including a lot of refinement and one of the cameras is still not in sync. Is there any expert out there that might find the corrupted codes in a file ... not sure if there is anybody able to find stuff like that.
Regards
Ronnie

ronniemehlis, could you specify the product name and version? Is it Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements? If so, which version and on which operating system?

HELP! Need to restore corrupt file/recover deleted file from LIGHTROOM Catalog

Hi,
I recently edited a wedding I finished and sent to her via WeTransfer. It showed that she opened the file, so I deleted it off of my computer. A few days later she said she couldn't open the file because it was corrupt (at this point I couldn't resend because I had deleted it as stated).
She sent it back to me to see if I could try opening -- but every time I try to open in Lightroom it reads:
Unexpected Error Opening Catalog
The Catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error.
Can ANYONE help me recover this file?? I've also tried to run a Data Recovery software to retrieve it from the trash, but it won't recognize .lrcat files (it brought up all of the .jpegs, photoshop, .tiff files etc -- but no lightroom catalogs.
I REALLY really really don't want to have to re-edit 1000 photos again.
Thanks so much in advance for any advice xo

Just did the scan (mind you I have NO clue what I'm doing), but I dropped it in the SQLite and clicked "expand" and it came up "Idle".
I've attached the two messages I got :
Uh, yeah - it's not an archive and so you don't want to try and expand it as if it was one.
I'm not sure which SQLite app you are using. I think SQLite Spy is Windows-only, but for Mac, maybe:

Other Mac users may have more recommendations.
Once you get a real SQLite app, then open the .lrcat file with it.

System File Checker -Cannot fix corrupt files

How practical do you consider the various measures to replace / resolve corrupt files are?
My feeling is that the simplest solution is to do a repair install or clean install of the operating system. This would include where appropriate an In place Upgrade, restore to factory settings or to restore a system image.
What do you think?
Hope this helps, Gerry

Hi Gerry,
System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. OF course, this may not resolve all problem.
Repair install, clean install, restore to factory etc have their own function on recovering the operating system. It depends on your exact issue.

Why Does Time Machine Corrupt Files It Restores?

Time Machine does not restore MS Word files and documents correctly. In the case of a play I am writing, the formatting is completely off and there are unusual symbols appearing which are not in the original document. In trying to restore FileMaker files and documents, I found that I cannot even open the document. A window displaying the title appears and that is all. This renders Time Machine useless.

The reason is that it has corrupted itself.
See http://pondini.org/TM/C13.html
TM over wireless and with Yosemite.. is corruption in a box.
I did not need to do this with the previous Time Capsule.
I think it is more the OS at issue than the TC.. but certainly poor setup of the TC matters.. you have to have very good wireless connection single hop.. no double repeater stuff. Anytime TM stops or fails half way through a backup it is likely to corrupt itself.

Keeps randomly disconnecting,cant be restored,cant delete corrupted files!

Too many problems with my ipod video!!!Its a constant battle to get it working.
Ive tried to restore it but it sais "firmware update failure. Disk write error."
I tried deleteing the corrupt files in my temp music folder but it keeps telling me the directory cannot be deleted because its not empty, and when i delete song in the backup folder individually they just reapear!!

*so nobody knows how to fix it?*
Yes, we do know but you've taken steps to prevent implementation of the fix. You want your flat tire repaired but you refuse to allow the mechanic to jack up the car.
*apple, im tired of spending countless hours restoring my ipod everytime something goes wrong!*
Hold on, now. You're blaming Apple for having spent "countless hours" restoring the iPod yet you told me that you don't want to do the restore because you deliberately configured iTunes different from Apple's recommendations. Wow, that's heavy. $300 for an iPod but you won't spend $80 to upgrade your computer so that it can support the iPod.

Accessing corrupt files after restore

So i had to restore my iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1 tonight. When i restored it, i was prompted to upgrade to 5.1.1 so i did that. Once it upgraded, i was told that my backup was corrupt, so i tried to restore my phone to an older backup but was then told "ITunes could not restore the iPhone, because the iPhone refused the request". Or simply put, my iPhone is a 6 year old boy.
After abunch of reading, i managed to switch out my corrupt "status" .plist file for a newer, functioning one and got my iPhone restored. But once it was done the restore process, i was told that the file is still corrupt, but all all 7.9 GBs of my photos, notes, texts, etc is still on the device, it's just listed as a giant yellow "others" bar. My old wallpaper still remained though. What gives?
Any way to restore those files? Alot of them are important work files.
Thanks in advance.

How to restore a corrupted file?

Hello,
I have a problem with the Illustrator file I was working on. I cannot open it, and the icon of the file is a bit opaque with a grey cross. If I try to move it, a message says that the file is unavailable. But still is not an empty file. This is the property window:
Also, I stopped working around 01.00, so I don't know why the last access is at 02.36.
Is there any way to recover the information?
Thank you,

It's probably toast, but try this:
From Illustrator, try open recent file.
Create a new file and try to place the corrupt file into it.
Try to open it in Acrobat.
Change the extension to .pdf and try to open it in Acrobat and Illustrator.
here's a link you can try:

Why is it when i plug my iphone in to sync it says corrupt file and wants to restore my phone back to factory settings its happened five times now.

Why is it when i plug my iphone in to sync,i get a corrupt file message cant sync.It wants to reset my phone back to factory settings and i lose all my phone.It has happened 5 times to me now.

well, you probably have a corrupt file as the message indicates. You will need to reset your phone back to factory settings as indicated.
If you've been using your phone as designed, you've been making frequent backups so that data loss will be minimal, if at all.
Best,

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?

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

Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi
this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
I tried the following:
reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
please help
Eido

If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message

Greetings fellow Podders, Resident Furball here...
It is about time that I produced a single post for all the chkdsk issues that we've been discussing since November 2004. The Apple KB article seems to cover the major points succinctly, but we need to address the more serious variations and flavours of the problem.
<hr>
What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Many users are coming across this seemingly distressing error message in Windows when connecting their iPods. As described in Apple KB Article 300554, the message reads:
iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\????????? is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
and the ????????? can be anything (eg. sysinfo, Temp1, DeviceInfo etc.).
<hr>
Don't panic!
If you do see this, don't worry, and don't panic. Contrary to what the error message reads, this issue actually has very little to do with iTunes. The iPod_Control is the key to this - because this folder doesn't even exist in iTunes... it's on the iPod!
...so! Installing and uninstalling iTunes really won't do you much good at all... it's the iPod that needs attention.
<hr>
What's causing this error?
To be honest, we don't know. We saw a massive number of reports of this issue back in November 2004, because iPod Updater 2004-11-15 contained a firmware bug that corrupted iPod system files when the Pod entered Deep Sleep.
But this firmware bug was corrected in iPod Updater 2005-06-26.
Of late, we have seen a resurgence in chkdsk errors on Discussions. Some of these are caused by the old buggy firmware that people still have. Some of the errors are more serious and are hardware and operating system-related. But we have still to pin down the exact cause of this error.
<hr>
Okay, so what do I do if I see this error?
In short, as Apple have recommended in their KB article:
Restore your iPod, using the latest iPod Updater.
Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure that you download the iPod Updater. Ensure that you install it, and then ensure that you run it with the iPod connected and follow the prompts to the letter.
The broad majority of the errors are painlessly fixed this way. Of course, it does mean that your iPod will be wiped, so make sure that you have your music/data backed up, and/or present in iTunes so you can resynchronise it when you have finished Restoring.
<hr>
Okay, I've Restored, but the error is still coming up
Are you sure you've Restored? Quite a number of folks are assuming that just downloading the iPod Updater is enough. It's not. And neither is downloading iPod Updater, and installing it on your computer. It needs to be implemented on the iPod, according to the iPod Updater instructions.
Okay, so if you have Restored your iPod, and you are still getting this error, then you have a variety of options available.
Chkdsk errors that are not fixed with a Restore are most likely down to two things:
1) A physical issue on the iPod itself
or
2) An issue on the computer's operating system
Here's where it gets woolly. There are a variety of things you could try...
Format the iPod in Windows
This would usually have the same effect as a Restore, but a deep-level format in Windows is something that Apple have recommended in the past, as a last resort to completely wipe the iPod before performing a Restore with iPod Updater. This process wipes the iPod.
To do this:
1) Enable Disk Mode on the iPod. You can do this either in iTunes (which is best), or manually on the iPod itself.
2) Open My Computer and locate your iPod
3) Right-click the iPod and select Format
4) Leave the parameters set at their defaults, and ensure Quick Format is unchecked
5) Hit Format
6) Then Restore your iPod as normal.
Run the Chkdsk utility
You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode as above
2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
3) Go to Start, Run
4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.
Run Windows ScanDisk
ScanDisk is the Windows version of Chkdsk. It does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer, select Properties
3) Select Tools
4) Select the option to scan the disk for errors
Try changing the Drive Letter of the iPod
Sometimes Windows confuses the drive letters, and this can cause the iPod to be adversely affected. Try the instructions detailed in Apple KB Article 93499 to change the drive letter of the iPod. This does not wipe your iPod.
Try changing Hardware Policies for the iPod
The Hardware Policies in Windows have been known to affect the way in which the iPod connects, synchronises, and disconnects. This does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode so the iPod appears in My Computer
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer
3) Select Properties
4) Select Hardware Policies
5) Select Optimize for Performance (instead of Optimize for Removal)
6) Restart your computer.
Contact Apple for a replacement iPod
Some chkdsk issues have been caused by faulty hardware. As a last resort, contact Apple Support by phone to report your issue, and/or request an iPod Service.
If you explain that you have followed all these steps, you should have a strong case for obtaining a replacement iPod.
<hr>
Thanks!
Thank you to everyone for their continued support, kindness and excellent troubleshooting skills here on Discussions. There are countless people that I am deeply grateful to for their assistance in handling this issue. Rest assured folks, you have made me the Discussions Furball that I am today.
Happy Podding folks!
Kind regards,
Gopha.

iPod Updater 2006-03-23 has been released
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 includes iPod Software 1.1.1 for the new iPod and new iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano.
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for all other iPod models.
What's new in iPod Updater 2006-03-23:
- Volume limit
- Bug fixes
I have been trying to ascertain from Apple Support Level 2 as to whether the latest iPod firmware improves or provides better resolution for the chkdsk issue. If anyone has been using iPod Updater 2006-03-23 to resolve their chkdsk woes, feel free to post in here just to say how things worked out for you...

IPhone won't completely delete songs in iTunes (corrupted files?)

Hey guys,
I've been working on this issue for nearly two days now, and I just have no idea of how to fix it. The issue: in iTunes, my iPhone says I have multiple albums/songs on the phone, despite me trying multiple times to delete them, and despite them not actually appearing on my phone. These are all songs that have been purchased, and are on the cloud. On my actual iPhone screen, the songs don't appear at all, since I deleted them. But when I plug my phone into my computer, in my iTunes, the songs remain - they're just dimmed, with dotted circles on the left of them. My goal is to have all of these songs deleted from the iPhone altogether, and have that appear both on the phone and in iTunes. It seems like these are corrupted files, but I have no idea how to get rid of them. This is how my iTunes and my iPhone look, right now.
I've done the following things:
--I've fooled around with redownloading them from the cloud on the iPhone separate from the computer, then plugging it into my computer to delete them in iTunes. But even after I delete them in iTunes, it constantly brings the files back after I sync.
-I checked and unchecked the items in iTunes, before syncing. It lets me delete them; but again, after I click Sync, the files return.
-I deleted all of the music from my iTunes library, and I turned off the Manually Manage Music option, so that the iPhone would sync with the iTunes and delete everything from the phone. The result was all the music on the iPhone being deleted...except these straggling files that I'm having this issue with.
Does anyone have any other tips? I don't want to reset to factory settings because I have a couple work apps on the phone that I can't find links to to redownload them. And the iPhone managing apps are not an option; I can't download apps on this computer. I've been troubleshooting online, but I'm not sure if I'm just doing some of these things incorrectly. Can anyone help me?

I've reset it - erased all content and settings - and they're still there! Though I restored it from the Cloud. Not sure if that would influence it.
