Solved my problem - random files dropped or corrupt in transfer process

Ok, problem for me similar to some others I've seen so I'll post it here: sporadic NEF files transferred with Bridge CS4 are unreadable about 1 in 20.  Looking at the problem file itself, it's size is 0 bytes like the transfer process made the file, but didn't put the data into it.  NEF's are still fine on the camera or cardreader.  I have isolated this problem to Bridge only on the following computer while transferring JPEGs or NEFs from different cameras, cards, readers.  Sometimes I'll also get random filenames with no extension as well.  CaptureNX2 and explorer "drag and drop" work fine.
Windows XP 64bit
4GB RAM
2xHD RAID 0
3.0 GHz AMD
Bottom line, after a lot of experimenting, I could lessen the amount of errors that bridge made by turning down my processor.  Going with that, I isolated some BIOS features and found the "cool and quiet" feature (which changes the CPU multiplier based on system load) as the problem.  Now, with that feature disabled I can get 100% transfers with the system running at full speed.  I would say by reading many of these threads that there are similar features on a lot of newer AMD and Intel systems that seem to not play very well with Bridge. 
I know not exactly the same problem you may have, but maybe some insight to a larger issue with that function in Bridge/ACR/LightRoom

Hello and welcome to the Forums.
DBFixit by Pimlico software can be a god send at times trying to find and fix corrupt data. Although by Palms standards it is considered 3rd party software we cannot support it, but let me tell you we recommend it all the time to our customers with data issues. It is designed to work on Palm OS's and does a great job. I'm glad it worked out for you.

  • [solved] findutils - problem with file permissions

    Hey,
    I tried running makepkg -c for an updated PKGBUILD of a package I maintain in the AUR (gretl), and it seemed fine but then hit:
    ==> Tidying install...
    -> Purging other files...
    -> Compressing man and info pages...
    -> Stripping debugging symbols from binaries and libraries...
    -> Removing libtool .la files...
    -> Removing empty directories...
    find: invalid predicate `-delete'
    I'd had some other strange errors with find over the past few weeks or so (my last -Syu was after this month's catalyst driver came out with support for the current kernel) but had shrugged them off. This error made me decide to try reinstalling findutils, and it gave the error:
    error: cannot remove file 'usr/bin/find': Operation not permitted
    a bit stupidly, I tried pacman -Rd then -S findutils, and now I get
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    findutils: /usr/bin/find exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    missing dependency for ca-certificates : findutils
    missing dependency for initscripts : findutils
    missing dependency for mkinitcpio : findutils
    missing dependency for texinfo : findutils
    ls -als /usr/bin | grep find     gives:
    12 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10636 Mar 25 16:24 deepfind
    64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59200 May 9 01:58 efinder
    64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 500 500 59536 Jun 16 14:49 find
    and rm, mv, chmod, chown etc on /usr/bin/find as root, and from livecd, all also come back with "Operation not permitted".
    find seems to work fine for a few simple uses I've just tried.. but the last time I ran makepkg -c without the error was before the last system upgrade, so I'm guessing find didn't upgrade properly then due to whatever is wrong with the permissions, leading to the other errors.
    Anyway, I guess the question is, can I do anything to get rid of /usr/bin/find and reinstall findutils? don't mind so much about missing dependencies as I tend not to upgrade that often, but find not doing what it should is a bit of a pain.

    mm I tried all that, and no luck. though trying adduser 500 did give me a helpful reminder that usernames can't start with numbers...
    anyway, it's not a huge deal atm, and I can always clean reinstall the / partition if things really break. Thanks all the same.
    PS:
    huh, just had a thought - I remember how I used to get annoyed how mounting partitions using ext2ifs in windows didn't respect permissions properly. and now I almost wish I had a windows partition / that this wasn't a laptop hard drive...

  • Because you this loading firefox.exe like process from the beginning of the computer with a load from 38 to 42000 kb or like I can solve this problem

    because you this loading firefox.exe like process from the beginning of the computer with a load from 38 to 42000 kb or like I can solve this problem, atualmente when lighting the computer among the processes that are loaded when beginning the computer is a process of name firefox.exe with a load of between 30 and 50000 kb but I don't find to the registered firefox inside the programs to crgar from the beginning when entering for msconfig.exe my operating system is so far windows xp up-to-date sp3 and my firefox is 7.0.1 version in Spanish that is my native language.

    That seems very suspicious. Two suggestions.
    First, try Firefox's Safe Mode. This will let you work around problems with add-ons and perhaps help you identify things to remove so that Firefox goes back to normal.
    I recommend making a backup of your Firefox settings before starting in Safe Mode. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
    Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
    [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
    Does that work? If so, you may need to disable your add-ons and just bring the most essential ones back to life until you discover the problem one.
    Second thought: malware. You could supplement your usual security scans with these:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    HouseCall : http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't listen to an entire song in Itunes.  Randomly just skips the song in different places while it's playing.  Song file is not corrupted - even doing it on a new song I just bought from Itunes today.  Help :(

    I just bought a new laptop and transferred over all of the songs.  But I checked the ones that skip in Itunes in another music player and they work fine there - the files are not corrupted - and like I said, even a brand new song I just bought skips.  The priority for Itunes is set to High.  This comptuer has very high specs (it's a Lenovo IdeaPad) and the processing performance never even goes above 10%.  I am a Disc Jockey and this is a severe problem.  Please help...
    If downgrading to a previous version of Itunes is the answer, how do I go about doing that?   I'm currently running 10.5

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi again Raja!
    I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • How do I prevent Firefox from locking up when I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu (resetting Firefox didn't solve the problem)?

    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium OS on Dell XPS 420 system. Firefox locks up each time I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu. Resetting Firefox did NOT solve the problem. If, instead of using Firefox, I log on to a website using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, the "Save As" feature works fine, as it should. I would occasionally like to save a web page, using "Save As" while using Firefox, instead of copying the page to a Word Document, and then saving it.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
