The file appears to unsupported or damaged - not opening in LR5, Photoshop CS5 or any other software

I've just returned from traveling round asia and found a fair few images show 'The file appears to unsupported or damaged' error message, I can see the preview but can not develop, this is in LR5
After shooting on the road I took the SD card and imported the images straight from the SD card to the HD on my macbook air ver1 through LR4. I then moved the files to an external drive through LR4.
Now I've returned I'm now using my Macbook pro 15'' and LR5 and these files aren't opening, they didnt open on the Macbook air either.
There are possibly 30 files and they all come from one import so i'm guessing they all corrupted on import.
Is there any software i can use that will open these files and allow me to rescue them?
Your help would be greatly appreciated as one of the files looks like one of the best i took during the entire 6 week trip.

Where are the photos located? Can you physically locate them and see that they are full sized?

  • Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
    CS5 is history and it is not longer supported.  There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
    You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

  • When Password Protected - The File Becomes Corrupted and I Can Not Open It

    I have password protected two files now in Excel 2007.  After opening and then saving a few times, the file becomes corrupted and I cannot open.  The following error message appears  "Excel cannot open the file"XXXX.xlsx" because
    the file format or file extenson is not valid.  Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
    The files that I created contains sensitive information and I really need to get to them.l

    You can try to open these files with 'Open and Repair' .
    1.Start Excel.
    2.click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Open.
    3.In the Open dialog box, click to select the file that you want to open.
    4.Click the down arrow on the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
    Also this issue could be  caused by malware on the affected machine

    Some one works out this issue with remove the xlsx entention,give it a try.
    1. rename the file and remove the .xlsx or .xls extention etc e.g. if my file is called test.xlsx I remove the '.xlsx' - you will get a warning message saying this could make the document unstable - accept it
    2. the document icon should now have turned white (the document won't look like an excel document anymore)
    3. open a blank excel document by hitting start -> all programs -> Microsoft office -> excel (this may be different if your not on windows 7)
    4. in your blank excel document hit file -> open
    5. navigate to the document you renamed above and select it, now click open

  • HT1657 I've rented Argo on my mac pro and it keeps saying that the file is corrupted, now I canot see my movie or download/watch in any other Mac that I have. How can I either fix it or watch it in another device?

    I've rented Argo movie and my mac pro keeps saying that it is corrupted. Now I cannot watch or download it in any other device and I'm stucked with this file in my mac pro. How can i start it over or just get my money back and dowload it again using my Apple TV or any other device?

    If the download is corrupt then you will need to contact iTunes support - rentals are currently a one-time only download, so you will need to contact support to refund/credit or grant you a re-download.
    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) 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 rental 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 that process doesn't work (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes), then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page instead : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?

    There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
    I do not know if the can be answered here in the format buthere it goes!!

    Thank you Klaus 1
    I have 4 latest Macs All have iDVD. The question was not where to get iDVD.
    The question for anyone who knows is: Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?
    I appreciate your input but it realy does not answer the question. iDVD will soon not be able to work with newer versions of Macs as it has been left behind by Apple!
    Once again:
    It doesn't seem there are any programs that takes off from where iDVD left off.

  • JPG´s will not import into lightroom 1.4.1 ("the file appears to be unsupported or damaged")

    I have converted a collection of raw files with Autopano pro to jpgs.
    When importing them into lightroom 1.4.1, part of the collection is not displayed in lightroom and the software gives me the msg "the file appears to be unsupported or damaged".
    The same files open up with any other jpg supporting software.
    Can anybody help me with this

    I was not aware of this pano program but have downloaded a trial copy and will give it a go. I just did a set of images that PTGUI could not deal with and it looks like this program did it perfectly even without muddling with the control points. Its also dealing with 1 image where I cropped out a conflicting angle of view area.
    I just imported the jpeg out of this package into LR with no problems. I edited it after import to LR with Photoshop CS3 to do a cleanup crop of the pan.
    I'm very impressed with PanoPro right now. Will have to purchase. PLUS...it runs either Mac or PC!!! Solves yet another problem I've had with my conversion to Apple.

  • "The files appears to be unsupported or damaged" - I can't open the files in any software

    I have just returned from a trip where i was on the road for 7 weeks and out of 5000 shots have 30 corrupted DNG files, one of which i would love to save please can you help? My work flow:
    Shoot DNG files using Leica M9
    Take SD card out sporadically and using SD card reader mount on Macbook air (very old) v1
    Open Lightroom 4 on macbook air import to HD
    Drag and drop in Lightroom on to external HD
    Realised pretty soon some thing was not right with images but continued work flow with out problems with any other import
    On returning home i imported project into a new LR5 project on my 15'' Macbook pro running OsX10.8.5, processor 2Ghz intel i7 with 8gb ram
    IN LR 5.5(just updated) on my Macbook pro & Macbook air LR4 I can see the preview of the corrupted images in library mode but when go to Develop i get the "The files appears to be unsupported or damaged". In Photoshop CS5 i get "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognise this type of file"
    The corrupt files are the same size 36.4MB as the non corrupt images suggesting the info is there. Is there software anyone can suggest that will open the file with the corruption so i can some how fix in photoshop? The SD card was one of many used and was over written many times after so i can not retrieve the images that way i'm afraid.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and i can forward you a copy of the file if you have the time.

    Realised pretty soon some thing was not right with images but continued work flow with out problems with any other import
    Exactly what was not right?
    Most likely a hardware problem causing corruption in the transfer of files from SD card to your computer. It could be the SD card itself, card reader, hard disk or memory.
    Side issue:
    Open Lightroom 4 on macbook air import to HD
    Drag and drop in Lightroom on to external HD
    why don't you save yourself a step and import directly to the external HD (and thus also produce one less place where file corruption can happen)?

  • PLEASE HELP me-  LR3 such as:  The file appears to be unsupported or damaged.  What do I need to do?

    Someone PLEASE HELP me…. I just copied many folders of files from one external hard drive to another, now I'm receiving messages (LR3)  such as:  The file appears to be unsupported or damaged.  What do I need to do to fix this?
    Is there a PHONE number I can call to TALK to someone live??

    You can upgrade to LR 3.6 at Product updates
    My advice is to stop listening to Matt Kloskowski ... but nevertheless ... what he explained, dragging and dropping a folder to another hard disk, works as long as you are meticulous and never forget to do so. And if you're not meticulous about it (and most people probably aren't), then you don't have backups. The best way (and in my opinion ONLY way that works) is to use third-party software that will perform the backups of your photos and your catalog file automatically and regularly (every day or every week). The built-in catalog backup in Lightroom is an excellent way to back-up your catalog file, but it will not make backups of your photos.

  • Roundtripping to PSE: "the file appears to be unsupported or damaged"

    Hi all,
    After using Aperture for four years, I thought I would give Lightroom another try.  With Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 11, when I roundtrip an image to PSE, it comes back to Lightroom, but I get a warning that says "the file appears to be unsupported or damaged."   I'm on a MacBook Pro (2010) with Mavericks and all the updates.
    Somewhere in setting up Lightroom, it suggested working in 16-bits, but my PSE says it can only deal with images in 8-bits.  Is that part of the problem?
    Many thanks for any help, experience, or advice. 

    OSX 10.8.5   Lr5.3
    I had this same problem with TIFF's in LR5.3  using Elements 11 and I didn't in the past.  I did some messing around and when I changed the tiff compression in the Lr export from ZIP to NONE the problem went completely away.  I didn't want ZIP anyway and I think it got automatically changed in an upgrade of Lr or Elements.  I did notice that SOMETIMES if I clicked away from the file with the error and then back a few times the file will load.
    You are correct that only a subset of Elements functions work using 16bit  tiffs.

  • Uh Oh - "The files appear to be unsupported or damanged. (169)

    That's a message I wish I wasn't seeing.
    I have a new Nikon D300s.  I've shot a couple of rounds with a 4GB SanDisk Extreme IV 45-MB/s memory card.  Shooting strictly .NEF files.  The files all loaded into Lightroom fine.
    Saturday I shot with a new 8GB SanDisk Extreme IV.  Only this time, when I try to load the files into Lightroom, nothing shows up and the "Import Results" window tells me "The files appear to be unsupported or damaged. (169)" -- that "169" being the number of files that aren't showing up.
    The files are showing up in the LCD on the camera, so there must be something there; I tried to import them directly from the camera (instead of via a card reader), but the result was the same, "unsupported or damaged."
    I used the same 8GB card for some flash tests on Friday.  They looked fine in the camera, I copied them to the computer before I reformatted the card.  But... now I'm looking at those files in the Lightroom importer, and guess what? All but one of them says "preview unavailable for this image."
    I suspect this is not a Lightroom problem but at the moment I don't know where else to turn.
    How is it possible that the files can show up on the LCD but not import into Lightroom (or show up in Bridge, either, for that matter) ?
    I don't think I change any settings - the format is RAW at 12 bits.
    Is it possible that I've got a bum card ?
    If anybody reading this has ever encountered a similar dilemma and has any suggestions... I'd sure be grateful to hear 'em.
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Maybe I did change a setting -- or, at least, choose a bad one?
    >The images you d/l'ed to the DT, do they import into LR? Are they about the right number of Megs?<
    The images that are on the DT, they do NOT import into LR.  And they appear to be between 10 and 12 MB, so that is roughly the right size for the D300, isn't it? (The sensor is 12.3)
    But now that I'm looking through the settings again, it appears I've selected ""Lossless compressed" for the RAW files format... and I suspect that's not a good setting for Lightroom (or anything else, for that matter).  Seems to me "Uncompressed" would be a better choice for RAW files...??
    Is "Lossless compressed" a compatible file format for Lightroom?

  • Lightroom has trouble reading RAW files on my network drive ("The file appears to be unsupported or

    Hey guys, I currently run LR5 on Mac OSX.  I've had my RAWs on an external HDD and have smart previews built for those files.  Recently, I upgraded to a new router, the ASUS RT-N65U, and plugged in my WD My Passport Ultra HDD (FAT32 filesystem) into to.  Now I've put my RAWs on the network drive, and verified via MD5 checksums that the files are being read correctly (albeit rather slowly) from the network drive.
    However, whenever I try to view one of the photos on the network drive, Lightroom complains, "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged".  I've verified via MD5 that the files are not damaged.  Does anyone know how I can get LR to be happy with the files on my network drive?
    (Bonus question: how do I make my network drive faster?)
    Thanks!

    Got RAWs from a D7000 and D600, LR v5.2 [922700].
    Oddly things are working now... I ejectected the network drive in Finder and reconnected to my router.  Lightroom no longer has problems viewing the photos, even after I closed my laptop and reopenned it.  I think the problem might occur when my laptop goes to sleep for a long time and I reconnect.  Will repoert back when I try that.
    I'm using an external HDD attached to my router.  The reason I don't plug the external HDD to my laptop directly is I don't want to keep doing it every time I want to access my photos, and my laptop only has limited disk capacity since it's an SSD.
