There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?

I can't open my psd with properly in Photoshop, it keeps showing :There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead? 
Photoshop cc
Help please

I just discovered this issue. Apparently if your PSD document has a tonne of layers, it will save normally. Then suppose you are working on it one day, and create lots of new additional layers...saving that will then corrupt the PSD file, as apparently the number of layers exceeds some hidden limit. You will not be able to load that back in, as Photoshop doesn't appear to allow you to do that.This issue appears for both PSD & PSB files. I lost a few weeks of updates, but recovered thanks to a few backups.
One clue you can use to ensure you don't inadvertently save over the file (thereby corrupting it), is to try duplicating a layer or a group of layers. You will not have the option to do so. If you encounter that, immediately open a new file, and drag a few groups of layers to the new document (and deleting them in the original document). You should then go back below the 'limit', allowing you to save normally.
As for the original corrupted file, well I tried repairing it with a whole host of tools. But nothing worked ....

    This is the message i get when tryng to update
    any ideas?

    Error: "svr.VirusScanExecutionError"
    An intermittent problem with acrobat.com's underlying virus scan component causes this issue. This issue happens occasionally on a small number of server instances.
    The solution is to update the article again. Trying again typically routes you to a different host in the server array.

    It sounds as though you’ve had a recent infection and one of your ‘anti’ programs has removed the malware files, or some of them, but missed the entry in the registry, possibly due to an out-dated definitions database. I suggest you, firstly, download and
    run the free Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/free/ to ensure that you are completely clean. If you then restart the computer and the message is still appearing try one of these, but it is prudent to create a system restore point before you change the registry in (1) below
    by going to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > System > System Protection (in the left pane) > System Protection Tab > Create and make sure you give it a meaningful name.
    1. The entry is probably in one of the \Run keys, but as the rascal could be hiding in a number of other ‘autorun’ keys, it’s quicker to search the whole registry. Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type regedit and press Enter. Click Edit > Find and
    type the rogue’s name, put ticks in Keys, Values and Data, then click Find Next. When it’s found in the right pane, right-click it and delete it. There should be only one entry but press F3 to continue searching, just to confirm there are no more.
    2. If you’re concerned about making registry changes disable the entry using the system configuration utility, but bear in mind that you’re disabling the entry not deleting it as you would in (1) above. Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type msconfig
    and press Enter. Go to the Startup Tab and remove the tick alongside the rogue’s name. Click Apply, OK, etc. and restart the computer. When it restarts, put a tick in ‘Don‘t show this again‘ as you‘re effectively doing a selective start up.
    Ninety-nine per cent of politicians give the rest a bad name.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server error

    HELP!
    Right, so I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro last night, and have spasmodically gotten the following error:
    There was a problem connecting to the server "me409fs02"
    followed by:
    There was a problem connecting to server "me35syd08"
    Now the weird thing is, me409fs02 and me35syd08 were servers at a company I used to work for 2 years ago. I have no idea why my computer is suddenly trying to log in to these old servers, or how to make it stop.
    Here's a screen shot of what's going on in the console at the exact moment that the errors occur:
    This is turning out to be a gargantuan pain in the butt and I'd really appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks in advance,
    Brent.

    G'day mate,
    Is this only happening in one user account?  If so, then you should look into the library folder of your user account and your login items (through "Users & Groups Preferences"). 
    Check for any LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons that could be attempting to connect to the server.
    If it's happening for every user, then also check the Library folder at the root of your hard drive (LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons and StartupItems).
    Cheers,
    Rodney

  • Itunes error: "There was a problem downloading "AroundMe".

    Ever since I downloaded the AroundMe app, I've been getting this error whenever I opened Itunes: There was a problem downloading "AroundMe". Part of the file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose "Check for Available Downloads " from the Store Menu.
    I tried redownloading and deleting the app in Itunes, but it poped up the same error. At next open Itunes, the error will come back.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    go to the homepage and clivk on your email. then just keep redowloading them until the error stops popping up. sounds dumb but it worked for me.

  • I have Firefox 5 now, in the admin section of my web site when I edit a change in the data it does not make the change on my data file. There was no problem in my previous version.

    How can I return to a previous version that did not have problem? On Safari on my lap top Mac, I do not have this problem. We tried this on another Windows computer with a 3.5 or 3.6 Firefox version and there was no problem.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. Note: this is likely to log you out, so finish up whatever you are working on first.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Some sites appear to be incompatible with Firefox 5. The difficulty is tracking down the problem. To see whether it is caused by the new stricter HTML parser in Firefox 4+, you can turn that off. Please save any unfinished work first.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
    Then return to the problem page, reload and try again. Does that make any difference?
    Here's the process to roll back if needed:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

  • THE FAMOUS ERROR: There was a problem reading this document (15) - Thanks Adobe Engineering team

    As a result of this error, I cannot delete pages in a big PDF file I have of 1032 pages.
    The error, famous on the web and in Google, is:
    there was a problem reading this document (15)
    I hope I can find a solution for this, because I cannot delete the unnecessary pages inside the document which is driving me crazy.
    Adobe Acrobat X has a very poor quality testing. In fact I don't beleive Adobe test their products, I think they just program them, label them as the finished product, ASK FOR A HIGH PRICE, OF COURSE, and release them to the market creating a lot of nightmares and headaches to the customer.
    Adobe Acrobat X crashed several times when the files have flash content inside or formularies. The program, simply, is bad programmed with a very poor engineering inside.
    As soon I find an alternative for PDF, I will switch, I promise, in fact I don't promise it, I SWEAR IT.
    And if I dont find a solution for this I will put in my car a banner that says "DON'T BUY ADOBE ACROBAT, IS THE WORST PROGRAM YOU CAN FIND!"
    I'm loosing days and days of work, this is costing me problems and money.

    Yes, there is something wrong with the document. That is the defective programming the Adobe engineering team did. And please, allow me to explain you why it is defective. After you spend millions dollars in 950 engineers and 3100 beta testers, you can destroy Adobe Acrobat X easily just downloading a website rich in flash content. Some animated banners in the downloaded pages from the web, it's enough to destroy it.
    Just go to a website where you have animated banners, and press Shift+Crtl+O to download the pages...
    Save your PDF document and then try to work with it.
    If the document has a big size, let's say 1000 pages approximately, and many of them have flash content... Adobe Acrobat X crash automatically just moving from one page to another.
    As simple as that.
    Is the most unstable program I've seen in all my life. And please, don't tell me it's my machine, because I've tested it in other computers. The same!
    But there is more! yes
    Forms fields also destroy Acrobat X
    In a big PDF file having several pages inside with forms, just go to Tools, Forms and Edit, then in the list of pages try to delete the forms fields selecting them and pressing the Del key... crasshhhh Acrobat X die.
    What kind of betatesters you chose to test your products? For sure are people that are working with light documents of 5... 10 pages and no more.
    For sure are not people working extensively with Adobe Acrobat, as I do.
    And what happens when Acrobat X crash miserably time after time? that the Error 15 comes, because the file becomes corrupted.
    This is not serious.
    Is this the kind of performance and stability that Acrobat provide to the customers? having the risk to lose important documents and data, due how unstable is the program?
    You can tell me you hired NASA personnel to do this program, but customers need results, and crashing the program just pressing one key is not serious.
    And talking about complains I don't want to remember the last update of the Acrobat 9 !!!
    And you know what? a simple tool as NitroPDF don't crash!
    Sadly NitroPDF is not an option for me, because I embed videos in the PDF documents and NitroPDF don't allow me that.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X because sadly I don't find another alternative, the day I find it, I'll switch for sure.
    Or perhaps we can get a miracle, and your programmers could focus in what is IMPORTANT: STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE.

    When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
    In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
    If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
    Hide
    Set up automatic iCloud uploading
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
    Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
    Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
    Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
    In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
    Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
    To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

  • When I try to save a PDF, I get the message "There was a problem reading this document (14)."

    When I try to save a PDF, I get the message "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (14)."
    I receive no other information that helps me debug what the problem is.  The PDF is filled with editing comments.

    MobileMe was terminated on that date and you cannot access your iDisk using the Finder. You should sign out in System Preferences>MobileMe to prevent error messages - it's best to turn of any iDisk or other syncing first.
    There is currently a 'limited' grace period during which you can download files from your iDisk and Gallery, and migrate to iCloud if you haven't already done so. Go to http://me.com and follow the links there. We do not know how long this facility will continue to be available.

    The vCard must not be a compatible format.  (Unfortunately, there are multiple formats.)
