What to do when photos tells me it must quit because of corrupted files

You need to update your profile - you state thee that you have OS X 10.8.1
Try backing up your Photo library an launching Photos while holding down the option and command keys and repairing the Photos library

Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt

Hello,
As many of you, I've installed photos. This is my problem: I am an enthusiastic photographer that keeps around 10K photos per year (approx. 60GB), and while I have several years of pictures, I've just get the last 5 years. To be honest, I never liked iphoto to organize my pictures, I rather use Picasa. The way how pictures get organized, the poor effects tweaks to photos, the lack of freedom to keep an online folder...etc.
But with this new Photos, well, what the heck let's give it a chance.
It seemed cool, all my devices connected, iCloud (very limited storage though), new nice quick effects... the organization of pictures also seemed improved. the UI as usual with apple apps, pretty neat and clean.
Did I mentioned that I have several hundreds of GB of pictures? Well, a detail, I keep it in my time capsule to have them handy when I need it. With picasa, I just need to ensure that time capsule is waked, and pictures get recognized at once.
With photos, I've tried with 1 year, 10,000 pictures and.... very disappointed, it shutdown every 1 minute saying "Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt"...
Do I missing something here? is this supposed to be better than iPhoto? Time Capsule is not able to send steady signal to get my library online?

Not sure exactly whats going on with that given how new Photos is. But, Picasa works because differently than Photos because it doesn't use a centralized library. Picasa will just scan the entire computer and reference it in that location. Photos libraries, while sometimes problematic, are superior because as you've experience moving all the content is as simply as moving a single file.
Suggestions I would try:
Make sure Photos is quit. Hold down Command + Option on keyboard and click Photos icon to launch. Keep holding until you get a dialog box about repairing the library. Proceed with repair.
Move the library, if size permits, to your local HD on the computer and attempt to open and use.
Create a new library by holding Option on keyboard and launching Photos. Choose to create a new library and make sure it's placed in your ~/Pictures folder. If that works you know its library specific.
Right click on the external drive (also accomplished by holding Control when click), choose get info on the drive. Bottom of new window expand (if not already) the sharing and permissions section. Click lock icon and provide administrator password. If available, which it should be if using same drive for a Time Machine backup, check box to ignore permissions.

Error message: Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt.

I suddenly get this error message when trying to open and use Photos. "Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt."
I can't find a solution to fix the problem.

The only version of iPhoto that works with 10.10.3 is iPhoto 9.6.1 which must be downloaded from the App Store. What version of iPhoto do you have installed?

CS6 Photoshop reads this when attempting to "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). HELP!

Finally got a call this morning from an Adobe Rep and he explained to me the issue. He explained that I needed to uninstall the adobe product, in this case Photoshop CS6 and download it again and reinstall it! So, I did that and get the same message when attempting to open the newly downloaded software: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). Please, if someone could help me as soon as possible! I am very anxious to remedy this situation. Thank you!

This seems to have cropped up a lot recently. What has seemed to work so far is intentionally resetting your preferences:
Reset Preferences
1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:

Photo sync error- can't update because the required file cannot be found

After setting preferences for updating photos, i get the error-
"can't update ipod because the required file cannot be found"
It seemes to update all other stuff like music and podcasts, but will not update photos.
This is driving me crazy!
Any help would be appreciated

The same problem exists with the German Windows version of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
The error message says nothing!
I wasted a lot of time checking the photo files but there was nothing wrong.
Then I monitored the hd-access to find out WHAT a file is missing: it seems to be about the cache files of the program that isn't orientated right about it's own files!!! It seems to be a big fat bug!!!
The hint here really helps but it also means that all compressed files will be deleted and compressed again. That takes hours of time and lots of GB temp-space on the drives.
I think Apple should deliver a bug-free version of iTunes as soon as possible. And Apple should talk to the customers for that they must not waste their time because of bugs in Apple software.
Will Apple read this?
I can't find an email-adress to send it directly to apple.

What to do when photos can't be read on import?

This issue has been discussed recently, however, I have tried everything that has been suggested and the issues still isn't solved. I have used LR from LR3 to LR 5.4. I have had no problems until yesterday when I got the error message that the photos, which I could see initially, could not be read. I tried connecting the camera directly and got the same message. I then downloaded a few of he photos on my card into iPhoto; this worked perfectly. So, I tried uploading to Lightroom from a file in Pictures . . . got the same message.
This is what I have tried:
1) The obvious; restarting my computer.
2). Making sure my read/write permissions were set correctly
3). Recalibrating my monitor with Spyder Pro because it as said the calibration could have become corrupt and LR was particularly sensitive to this kind of corruption.
3). Closing LR, Click option Go to Library, Preferences (/Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist) AND delete, rename or remove this: com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist. The promise was that the file would be recreated when LR opened the next time. I did this. I deleted the file, emptied my trash and then opened LR. Indeed, a new file replaced the one deleted . . . BUT I put in my memory card and tried again to import the photos. I got the same message -- the files cannot be read.
I am losing precious work time and don't know what to do next. If I could uninstall LR and reload it, I would try it. However, LR has no uninstaller and I'm not at all confident that moving it to the trash and reloading it would do any good at all. Does anyone have any other ideas to try? I love doing my post processing with LR and I don't want to give up on it!

It is possible that resetting your preferences, by deleting the plist file, set the last-remembered import panel destination to somewhere not writable, masking the original issue, but the solution is still the same, set your Import Copy-as-DNG Destination folder to a known place that has writable permissions.
Here is what the Copy as DNG destination is on my Import panel--something I never do so it's still the default user library Pictures folder, as compared to yours which appears to be the root of your Macintosh HD which may not be writable:
BTW, the solution to import problems that involves creating a new display profile is for when the imports work but the import grid thumbnails and perhaps thumbnails and previews of the images already imported into LR are gray boxes instead of showing the actual image content. This is a different situation than you are facing, it seems, but rebuilding a new display profile wouldn't hurt anything, either.

What to do when Photoshop says could not import clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

I have PC, with adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and windows 8. Every time I open Photoshop it says: could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. If I exit the message I still cannot create files or open anything... any suggestions?

When you load Action and when you create new actions they are saved into you Photoshop Preferences into Actions Palette.psp. This File is read when you start Photoshop.
Apple and Microsoft both like to hide important files on users. Windows search and Apple finder will not find and show hidden files unless you change Mac and Windows setting. I you getting the error when you start Photoshop there is a shortcut to reset preferences. Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop you should be prompted to for an OK to delete preferences.
If this keeps happening perhaps you have a bad spot on your disk. Loaded actions are saved into that file so they should show up in the Actions Palette when Photoshop Start Up and read that file during start up. Photoshop Writes that file when you load action sets, when you record and edit actions and most likly also when you close down Photoshop.

Anyone know what to do when it won't let you sync because you don't have enough access privileges?

Having trouble syncing my iphone to itunes. Keeps saying I don't have enough access privilege?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

Itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....possible corrupt file?

I reinstalled itunes to the latest version.
And I'm still having the same problem: My itunes freezes whenever I connect my ipod. And when i disconnect it, it unfreezes and it shows "My Ipod" in itunes for like a second then goes away.
Now, when I reinstalled again, i noticed a message saying that Windows is missing components required to fully install Itunes (itunes installed anyway) or something like that. Now, i connected it to my parents' pc and it works fine.
Is there something wrong with my pc? Is there a different program where i can transfer my music to my ipod? (I am using Windows XP btw)
Also is there a way to move all the songs on my ipod to an external hard drive?

Similar problem here:
When I'm playing songs with iTunes and connecting my 3G 20GB iPod, my computer will hang up completely - screen goes dark and I have to reset my PC.
However, when my iTunes is "idle", i.e. not playing a song or doing anything else, connecting and syncing the iPod will work just fine.
I'm using the newest (6.x) Version of iTunes on WinXP SP2 with a 3G iPod 20GB.

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

Can you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers

Can you you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers and footers. I do not want the headers and footers but I need the information so that changes can be made in them - There are over 80 pages in this document and every page had a header and footer. The document did not have any headers and footers when it was first typed out.

Good day,
Try converting the document to a .doc format instead of .docx.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, please share the file with us via the File Conversion Issue form. Be sure to reference this forum thread in your description so we can circle back on the issue.
Kind regards,

IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
