"unexpected end of file" error on files after import.

recently i have been getting errors on import to lightroom, some times its colored dots or lines, some times the image looks fine but shows "unexpected end of file" or "lightroom has encountered an error reading file".
I have been trying to rule things out like cards by switching camera cards ect. If the file comes up bad i will delete it from disk and re-insert the sd card find the file and drag it to the folder on my drive and re import. so far this fixes it every time proving the the camera and card are fine, somewhere in the import process its going bad.
any suggestions on some more troubleshooting.?
System specs
MBP 2.2ghz i7 (2011)
16g ram ( aftermarket )
250gb sdd (brand unknown) with lightroom and catalog +previews (17121 files)
750gb storage in optical bay, (nothing ligthroom related in there)
files are on a 4tb lacie ThunderBolt raid ( new this week , was using drobo replaced as part of my troubleshooting i thought it was the corruption problem.)
Lightroom version: 5.2 [922700]
Version: 10.7 [5]
Application architecture: x64
Logical processor count: 8
Processor speed: 2.2 GHz
Built-in memory: 16384.0 MB
Real memory available to Lightroom: 16384.0 MB

Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 1681.8 MB
Memory cache size: 1861.7 MB
Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 4
Displays: 1) 1920x1080

i will try to usb the camera and import that way next time for a few files to try that. (never tired it on a mac) will also look this week for an external reader. If my macbook sd reader turns out to be flakey and was the issue the whole time im going to be very anoyed. I just bought a new lacie raid thunderbolt drive.

CS5.1 Camera Raw Unexpected end of file error

I ran into this error a couple of times (the problem would not resolve for these few affected photos) when editing my raw files in my CS5.1 trial.
"Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."
I could not get around opening these particular raw files and have come to the theory that these files are corrupted due to the limitations in SD card write speeds. I never had this problem on my D80 when working in CS4 or CS5, but then again the D80 doesnt shoot 20Mb raw files. My D7000 shoots continuous 6fps I'm shooting large, fine JPEG + RAW which pumps out around 25 Mb per photo. At 6fps this is somewhere around 150 Mb/s... My SD Card is a Sandisk 8gb extreme class 6 which has a rated write speed of 22Mb/s but its been a while since I've seen the documented number.
I took one of these raw files and opened it with Photomatix 3 (HDR Software) to create a Psuedo HDR file. The product was obviously corrupted.
Anyone care to comment on other culprits and solutions?
Cheers,
Alex

Files DO get corrupted, often by flash memory errors, sometimes by transfer problems. Revisit all the steps in your process and maybe try transferring the files to your computer differently (e.g., use a flash card reader instead of the camera cable and see if there's a difference in the files).
One thing that almost universally ISN'T necessary to worry about is that your flash memory could be corrupted if you take photos too quickly. CF write speed bottlenecks are dealt with properly by all the camera makers, generally by slowing down the picture-taking process when the camera's RAM buffers fill. You DO have to remember not to cut power to the camera while it is still writing to the flash memory, however, which can take some time after you finish shooting.
You should reformat your flash card in your camera, and personally I would treat that particular card as suspect until you prove that it can be filled and every image is complete and uncorrupted. You might even want to fill it with "junk" shots just to test it.

There was an unexpected end of file error

I am currently using DNG Converter 8.1 and converting NEF files from a Nikon D600.
Occacionally I get an error message on some of the files.
"The was an unexpected end of file error" It only happens on some of the ffiles but I can not figure out what is wrong or how to fix the problem.

plasticAnimal wrote:
my solution to the problem was to re-copy the problem files from the card.
Consider checking your disk drive, or just getting a new one.
If known good (on disk) files go bad, problem is usually disk (or ram).
If files known to be good on card, are bad after transfer, problem is usually with the transfer hardware.
If files bad on card, problem is usually camera or card, but may be reader...
Problem is not likely due to DNG Converter software (nor OS) - sorry Jeff if not worded strongly enough for you.

After Effects: AEGP Plugin TIFFIO: UnExpected End of File (5027 :: 12)

I have a clown render for an animation I am working on (the content is not important). When I duplicate the first layer, flip it horizontally there are no problems when I run a RAM preview. But when I time reverse the layer I get this error message "After Effects: AEGP Plugin TIFFIO: UnExpected End of File (5027 :: 12)". Now in the past this meant that some of the tiff. renders had been corrupted due to copying and pasting the still frames into another folder using windows explorer. So to fix the issue I would simply re-render the still frames to the proper folder which meant I no longer needed to copy and paste the still .tiff files. But now whats different this time is that the error message only pops up when I use the "Layer, Time, Time-Reverse Layer".
This should work. I have done this exact animation at a smaller resolution (800x800). The only difference is now I have re-rendered the same footage at a higher resolution (1424x1424).
Anyone know what causes this issue?

It might be just one file in the sequence that's flakey and it only shows up with reversal, because you may never have actually sampled the frame in normal mode. This might also have shown up during render only, e.g. when rendering with fields would have sampled the frames at a different time. I'd re-check your sequence. As ´TimeRemapper said, it may also be an issue with teh options you chose for saving the TIFFs. In that case running it through an image viewer/converter like XnView or Maya's fcheck utilty might fix the problems...

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately for you, posting only about things not working isn't going to net you assistance or answers - at most you can get sympathy but there isn't too much of that to share with everyone.

Hi Rocio,
Check the proxy settings in NWDS and use JAVA RUNTIME 1.5.0_06-b05.
Please refer to the links below where similar problems have been resolved:
Cannot deploy par from NWDS
Can not download SOAP CLIENT TOOL
Another way of deploying the .par file is from System Administration -> Support -> Portal Runtime -> Administration Console.
Hope this resolves your issue.

HELP! 'unexpected end of file' error-Is there a fix?! OS 10.4.11

Getting 'Unexpected end of file' error when trying to open a file (that's a rush job) in QuarkXpress 6.5. I attributed it to lack of memory, so I immediately backed up all files and HD to an external drive to free up space. Restarted and prayed... Quark launched, but file won't open. Same error.
Have: 2.1 GHz PPC G5, 1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM OS 10.4.11 (pre Intel)
Capacity: 232.8GB, Available: 163GB, Used 69.6GB
Have been searching help site for 5 hours looking for answer and am DESPERATE! I saved changes regularly, but can't access this file at all... I've lost 2 full days & nights working on this project that has to be done in 2 days.
Ran Disk Utility, but no success opening this specific Quark file (Quark will launch- it's just this file that's affected). Have tried to down load Applejack, etc. but keep finding out they only support OS 10.5 or higher. (Haven't been able to afford upgraded system since Intel requires purchase of full verions of graphics software instead of upgrades to the tune of $6k).
PLEASE, I only know enough to be dangerous, so ANY help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Savvy folks- if I'm in the wrong place, please send me a link where I can solve this personal catastrophy.
Many thanks-in-advance

I think you best do over your work from scratch. You need to make backup copies of the files regularly. You need to have copies on multiple disks or flash drives.
I saved changes regularly
You should know that this isn't sufficient. You need to have multiplte copies of the file. Backup anyone? Could be the file structure got messed up. Could be Quark messed up the file.
You need to get a newer machine. G5's are not reliable any more. Need to see if Quark will run in compatiblity mode on an intel machine. You should at least get an external firewire drive from owc. Old hd's are not reliable.
Boot in safe mode. Hold down the shift key when powering on the machine. This will run a disk repair program. Boot up will take longer as the harddrive is scanned and repaired.
See this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
Or from:
    mrtotes article :
    Boot from the OS X Install disk and from the Menu Bar choose Disk Utility. Then run "Repair Disk" and "Repair Disk Permissions" on your hard disk.
    a brody:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
Here the apple article on booting single user mode and using fsck. See the section on Use fsck:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
I suspect not but Perhaps Disk Warrior will be of some help:

How to resolve Unexpected End of file error in Web Crawling

how to resolve Unexpected End of file error in Web Crawling....
I am getting java.net.SocketException :Unexpected End of file error in Web Crawling.
How to get rid of this error.
Please help anybody ASAP.

1. Handle this exception - not recommended since you will be creating an exception handling overhead unnecessarily.
2. Check for EOF using available() method in InputStream. It returns 0 if there are no bytes to read.

File Error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

I saved a painting I was working on in photoshop for the past week, went to open it up this morning and got the following error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
I tried opening it up in other programs with no luck. Any suggestions?

Probably not good news I'm afraid. Hopefully you use Time Machine to keep regular backups of your work?
Have you tried to open the file in Graphic Converter (shareware application)?
I find file corruption practically non-existant these days. I would suggest that you maintain your machine. This can be done with Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html. Run all the tasks in the "automation" section of this application.
If you can do a drive check - checking your hard drive for physical issues might also be a good idea.

What causes 'Unexpected end-of-file' error?

Hi,
I am a photographer and an avid Lightroom user. I have two camera's (Nikon D700 and D300) and two computers, a desktop PC and a MacbookPro. Lightroom is installed on both computers.
For the last three photoshoots I have had this problem where 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 images in Lightroom on my desktop PC suddenly gives a 'Unexpected end-of-file' error. First I thought it was my camera. But then I loaded the images onto my MacbookPro and they worked fine. Then I took some images with my other camera, loaded them on to my Desktop PC, and, voila, same problem.
The problem specified: the image stops rendering a preview. A dull preview appears. At the top of the screen the message appears: "An unexpected end-of-file occurred." The histogram window stays empty and the image can not be developed.
I have browsed through this forum some looking for the cause and the fix. There are some mentions of it, but they all date back to 2007.
I run LR 2.2 on Windows XP SP2 and on a MacbookPro with OS X, version 10.5.8.
Please help me understand the cause of this problem, and help me find a fix?
Thanks,

While the corruption in your .NEF file could come from any one of a number of sources, here is a way to recover at least some of the information if you own Adobe Acrobat. Your .NEF file should contain a smaller JPEG file created by your Nikon camera when the picture was taken. Even if the .NEF file is corrupt, the JPEG may well be intact, and you can tell that's the case if a preview is visible in Lightroom or Bridge.
If you try to print it from Bridge or Lightroom, though, you will get an error. You can get around this by loading up a CODEC that will let you preview the files in Windows Photo Gallery. Nikon has one available for download to use with Vista x32 at http://www.nikonimglib.com/nefcodec/index.html.en, but it doesn't support Vista x64, so if you're running that (as I am) you'll need a second party CODEC such as the one available from http://www.ardfry.com/Products.htm with a 15-day trial download available. They also have a DNG CODEC which I have not tried.
With that CODEC installed and your system rebooted, preview the damaged NEF file in Windows Photo Gallery. Choose the "Print" option and select the "Adobe PDF" printer. Choose the "Postscript Custom Paper Size" option, and set the dpi resolution to the highest available (4000).
Go to the "Options" link on the bottom right of the window and uncheck the "Sharpen For Printing" box, as you can do this yourself with later processing. Then go to the "Printer Properties" link to see the Adobe PDF settings.
Go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab and choose Default Settings: High Quality Print, which will set the resolution to 2400 dpi.
You want to have Acrobat interfere as little as possible with the output, so select "Edit" from the Default Settings tab, which will bring up the "High Quality Print - Adobe PDF Settings" dialog. Here, turn off the "Optimize for fast web view" check box, then go to the "Images" folder and set the "Downsample" setting to Off and the pixels per inch to 2400. Also, set "Compression" to Off.
If you're going to do this in the future, you can also "Save As ..." your settings for future use with a name like "Fix Bad NEF Files."
Print the file to a designated folder. It won't be quite as good as the NEF file would have been, but at least you haven't lost the shot.

Oraclejsp unexpected end of file error

I am getting an OracleJsp Unexpected End of File error when I use the <logic:present name="add"> <html:form action="myAction" /> </logic:present> tag. "add" is referring to something that was set in a struts action (ie: request.setAttribute("add", "present")). I've even tried a scriplet that checks request.setAttribute and I get the same error. Any ideas? Thanks.

Often, file headers get smurfed. Photoshop is very critical of these headers.
JPEG's seem to be very sensitive to these errors. My trick is to open in a more liberal program, like ThumbsPlus, IrfanView, or PhotoImpact, and then just do a Save, keeping the JPEG compression levels low. This nearly always clears things up for PS.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unexpected End of File error in LR 1.3

Using the computer's built-in SD card reader, I imported NEF files taken on my Nikon D80. The previews showed up in the Library window of LR, but when I tried to open the files in Loupe view, I received an "Unexpected End of File" error on most of the images.
Thinking it might be a card issue, I took some test shots using JPG format instead of NEF, and all images imported and opened properly.
I then took some other photos in NEF format, imported them thru the card reader, and none of the new files would open in loupe view. I deleted all the files from the computer and library, and tried the following.
I then hooked the camera directly to the computer's USB port and imported the problem NEF files from the camera (SD card in the camera). Everything worked fine -- all the NEF files opened properly.
Not being a technical type, I don't know if this is a software or hardware issue -- does anybody have a clue?
I have used this card before and have used the card reader to inport RAW files from a different camera (Panasonic LUMIX) with no problem.
I hesitate to use RAW format on my Nikon D80 until I can figure out what the problem is.

I believe the problem is related to Edit > Catalog Settings... > Metadata > EXIF > Write date or time changes into proprietary raw files. If this is selected and you change the capture time on your images then around 1 in 256 photos will become corrupted. The problem is one in 256 files will end with character 26 (or character 1A in Hex). When updating the files Lightroom removes the trailing character 26. First of all turn off this switch. Secondly if you don't have a good original copy you can download and use HEdit to append the trailing character 26 to your file.
I first posted this problem in September 2007 on the forum. It is still an issue in the 3.2 RC. I have reported the bug through adobe labs (correct channel rather than this forum) and they are looking into the problem.

Unexpected end of file error on CS4, can I fix this or is the file lost?

I'm trying to open a Photoshop CS4 file, but it keeps giving me an error message saying "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered." A lot of hours went into this project. Can I fix this or is the file lost?

Oh man, I've been getting that too (with CS5). Unless I move my file off my computer at end-of-day, I show up and get this error. I'll be eager to see what an expert says… and sorry I can't help you out!
