Suddenly can't open some of my jpeg files, says error-43

Dear All,
I'm currently using OS X Leopard 10.5.1. I have a NTFS formatted HDD connected to my OSX, to store and share data with another Windows PC in my network. I installed MacFuse and NTFS-3G to enabled me to write and read from that particular HDD.
Recently, I found out that some of my jpeg files and a particular zipped files can't be accessed. When I tried to access it, it says "Unknown error-43" or similar.
When I tried to delete it, it can't be deleted (can't be copied or anything else). Tried to drag it to Desktop, but it doesn't allow me to (it shows a small icon of the "not allowed" sign). I also noticed that in my trash bin there's a file that can't be cleaned as well (even though I tried to emptied the trash), the file name is some weird characters and ends in .?: or something. If I dragged that file to Desktop, it'll be gone and trash emptied, but if I tried to access one of the "missing jpegs" file, it'll show up again.
I also connect another external HDD for my Time Machine, but when I found out it performs so slow and tend to freeze my Mac, I disconnect it and stop using Time Machine. When I connect the HDD again, it doesn't backed up the file I'm trying to find.
What gives? Any thoughts would be appreciated

The error, 43 is a "file not found" error or some such similar thing:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1618
It sounds as if the file has become corrupted and while it shows up in the directory it may not exist or it may be corrupted.
I suggest that you deal with these files in the Windows environment. In OS-X they sometimes show up as "ghost" files when trashed, because the trash bins are "shared" and OS-X cannot delete a Windows file even though it can be put into the trash.
Accessing files between Windows and Leopard must be done very carefully since each OS may "touch" the file and change it in some way that the other OS cannot deal with it, as you may be finding out.
It's best to copy a file into OS-X and then deal with it, and vice-versa when in Windows, and never directly access it with another app.

I can't open some of my older files.

Upon attempting to open an older file I'm prompted to get the latest pages update. When i go to do so, I'm told I have all the latest updates available. Last update was Jan 27 2014. Need these documents asap!!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I upgraded all of my iWork apps and now I can't open some of my old files. I get a message that says I need a newer version. Same for all three iWork apps.

I've checked all of the version numbers, and the latest versions are installed but most of my old files can't be read. Tried restarting, etc, but nothing works.

Gary,
Thanks. After posting that problem, I discovered that my upgrade of iWork did not replace my old versions, and some of my links started up the old versions. When I looked at version numbers, I saw the new ones. My links now go to the new versions and all seems to be OK.

Can't open some Canon D60 RAW files

Hi to all!
I have an issue with RAW fles. Most of the files is readable and can be edited but small percent of the files is not. Seems like problem with OS X 10.4.8 because neather Preview or iPhoto wan't accept this files too.
Thank you for help

I have this issue too.
I have a bunch of D60 files that can't be opened at all although they open fine in any other raw convertor.
Converting them to DNG may help though. Somehow they open fine then...
I'm going to file a bugreport and upload a couple of sample files.

I suddenly can not open pdf files. I have had Adobe Reader Xl and just ran into this problem

I have had adobe reader xl for some time and suddenly can not open a pdf file. I received an email yesterday with a pdf attachment which I can not open. What could be my problem?

Hi Pat, My operating system is Windows 7, Home Premium Service Pack 1. My email client (email Provider is Cox Communications - Cox.net).
Can not in my post means I tried to open a pdf attachment to a email. I received nothing happens. I do not get a blank screen or any messages. Nothing Nothing happens at all. I can click several times and get no response.
I did discover that by clicking on the Adobe Icon on my deskt topi get an Adobe box containing "Do you want to allow changes to your computer. I click Yes and get to my computer where I can find the above mentoned attachment which I think I had previously saved. I then get the attachment whick I can print. This may be printing from my hard drive - I am not sure. I think I could go through this procedure every time I want to open a atachment but it seems a long way around.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I have thought about removing Adobe and reinstalling. Maybe there is a corruption to my Adobe file.

Suddenly can't open Numbers doc

Suddenly, I can't open some of my Numbers documents. I'm getting an error saying I need to upgrade in order to open a document that I was able to open a week or two ago. I am able to open some documents, but not others. Please help!

I figured it out. I didn't realize I already had the Numbers upgrade on my computer, and it was trying to open in the old one. Moved the new version to my dock and prompted to open using newer version, and it worked.

Suddenly Can't Open PDFs. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab.

Suddenly Can't Open PDFs in Firefox. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab. Nice timing, with finals and everything where I need to view PDFs of practice tests.

Mozilla Firefox did not do their job, here. I am an editor and am constantly online. Now, I have to go to Safari to download PDFs. I reinstalled an earlier version of Firefox to get rid of the problem, but somehow Firefox has deactivated my PDF download feature. This is a total wreck and I am so angry I could spit. Stop launching new products until you have fully tested them. Customers are not your guinea pigs. Please fix this now- and fire a few idiots on the way- the ones who let this happen.

Hi! Windows 7 users can´t open the pdfs and jpegs that I have included into sent e-mails. How shall I resolve the problem?

Hi!
Prolems started after uploading the Lion in March. Now at least Windows 7 users can´t open any pdfs or jpegs that I have included into sent e-mails. They can see that they are included but can´t open them. What can I do?

It's a bug in Outlook. Each version of Outlook has its own unique bug that prevents it form displaying email that didn't come from another Outlook user. Apple has attempted to dumb-down Mail and make it more complex in order to work around these issues, but Microsoft keeps changing the bugs in each version of Outlook instead of making an Internet Email standard compliant email client.
Are they able to right-click on the image and save it from the contextual menu?
Otherwise, make sure Send windows friendly, attachments at end of message are checked and send plain text.
Or, zip the attachments and send that way.
There is also a program called Attachment Tamer that many people have found useful.

Suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8

Hi all-
I suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8. Starts to open and then says "Internal error occurred" Text tool is also acting up. I think it may be related to one of the extensions I downloaded from the Adobe Exchange. Or, maybe it was something I did. Probably the latter. Either way, it seems like my FW8 has gotten corrupted. Ran spyware, adware, defrag, and virus scans. Even talked nice to my computer, but nothing has worked. I looked for patches or downloads on Adobe's site but there are none for FW8.
Anyway, I'm guessing my only option is to reinstall, unless someone out there has a better idea. If I do reinstall, does it erase everything? Meaning, will I lose all extensions and all the settings?
Thanks for your help!

Using Win XP Media center edition v 5.1 Service Pack 3. Been too afraid to upgrade to Vista. Probably about time to upgrade my FW.
I searched my entire machine for that file, both by file name and by all .txt files and could not find a "Preferences" file anywhere. Here's what came up under the FW directory path:
Thanks for your help, Heathrowe!

TS3899 I can't open some attachments on my iphone or ipad?

I can't open some attachments on my iphone or ipad. The little paper clip shows on the side but there is no attachment or file in the body of the email to click on to. It's not with all emails - all of the time??? This has happened on with older and the new iOS software.

why is it that I can't delete some photos on my iPhone and iPad?
And in addition to gail's list: if you try to delete edited photos in iPhoto, they will remain on your device. To be able to delete them completely, revert the photo to original before deleting.
See: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/?lang=en#blnkb9b1e2a
If you delete a photo from the Photos app on your device, the photo is deleted in iPhoto (unless the photo has been edited, captioned, tagged as a favorite, or used in a web journal, slideshow, or photo book).

Can't open some attachments

I am not sure what is going on, but I can not open some attachment files either by quicklook or in iBooks. So far there are .doc and .pdf files that I just can not open. The .pdf gives me the option to open in iBooks, but when I hit the button...nothing. It does not open. That said, other .pdfs have worked, .dot and .xls have worked, .doc has not (not even an option to open in iBooks appears).
I have just completed a full factory restore (not from backup) and the problem persists. Any suggestions on how to view pdfs (even in quicklook again) would be appreciated.

Hi,
Actually it is more likely an Office 2000 issue. First, I would like to know if you can open JPG or PDF file by saving them to Desktop from Outlook.
If they can be accessed on Desktop but not inside an email as attachments, it is an Outlook issue. Is there any error occurs when trying to open that attachment? Please let us know.
In-case it is actually being blocked, please try to change the security level per following article:
You may receive an "Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments" message in Outlook
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/829982/en-us
If they cannot be accessed on Desktop either, please make sure you have the proper application to access them such as Adobe Reader for PDF.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Could you review the discussion in this bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854041 Bug #854041 – IDN: Summary of broken domains due to new algorithm] and these examples relating to Thai-language domains: [https://bug854041.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=728791 URLs with repeated non-spacing marks]. I'm not sure what rules are being discussed, but do you think the non-working domains are impacted by this?
