Why can't I open a .jpg image

I recently copied some images on a CD. I can open half of them and the other half, I get the following message.
Item "DSC.0647.JPG" is used by Mac OSX and cannot be opened.
What the heck does that mean? I have tried Preview, Photoshop, PhotoElements, everything to try to open these images and to no avail. There is no difference in the ones I can open, all are .jpg images, and all were copied the same way at the same time. I tried to open them before I upgraded to 10.4.5, and tried after, also tried on my laptop - won't open.....
Does anyone have any suggestions....I need these images!!!!!

Is your laptop also a Mac? If not what error mesage
do you get when trying to open on that machine. If
it is a Mac, copy the image to something like a USB
flash drive and try to open on a Windows PC. The
point is to see if the problem is with the image file
itself or your Mac.
Other things to try are as follow:
1) rename the image. Click on the file name to
highlight, hit enter and type a new name. If you are
going to open on a Windows PC you must add the.jpg
after the name.
2) Create a new user on your machine and try to open
the image when logged in as the New User.
3) Run Check and Fix Permissions from the Disk
Utiliy.
Report back here on what you discover and perhaps
someone will recognise the problem.

Alan, thank you for your suggestions:
My laptop is also a MAC and I get the same message. I've actually already tried the other options you mentioned, but to no avail. What I discovered that I did not see at first is that when the images were copied, they somehow were copied and show up as a 2KB file. I know that is not right, since the other images show up as regular large files 1.5 mb etc.
I copied all the files at the same time, but I did not take the images all on the same day. I cannot imagine how this happened, unless through some means, which I have no clue, my camera settings got messed up somehow and perhaps was set on email size images, but I'd still be able to see and open them. However, I also tried to email the images to myself or someone else and still can't read them. Unless someone has an answer as to how that might have happened, then I have to assume there is nothing I can do to get them restored.
I believe these images are a loss after seeing the size they copied, and think I've lost those items which is a shame, since you can never duplicate a picture taken at a specific time.....

  • Why can't I open multiple sparse image files at the same time in FCPX?

    I work in a multiple editor enviroment, where we have hundreds of different projects.  They are all divided into sparse image files to keep them all separated.  I used to be able to mount multiple sparse image files and see them all in FCPx.  But recently, FCPx upon opening, will close out all but one sparse image.  The images are still mounted to the OSx but FCPx will not recognize them.  I can only open one sparse image at a time.  I am needing to export multiple projects at the end of the day, and can't batch export or send them all to compressor because I can open up multiple projects.

  • Why can't I open my jpg?

    So I have CS3 still on my Macbook Pro. I just bought a new Macbook Pro and after loading the CS3 on there it is giving me trouble opening jpg files that I created in Photoshop on the other laptop. It keeps giving me a pop up below any time I try to open the file. If anyone knows how to fix this issue please let me know. I am in desperate need to have this fixed ASAP as I am using Photoshop on a Freelance project right now.

    Check your file handling Preferences in CS3. Make them identical to CC 2014.
    These are my jpeg save settings. Or you can try Save for Web.
    Thirdly, you can convert those jpegs in CS3 to tiffs. There's even a batch converter in Photoshop for that.
    File > Scripts > Image Processor.   Place all the jpegs in one folder and have the Image processor output them as tiffs in another folder.
    Bring the tiff folder over to your new mac and Batch convert them back to jpegs in CC 2014's Image Processor.

  • Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

    Hello...
    I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
    Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
    Here was my process in a nutshell:
    ~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
    ~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
    ~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
    as often throughout this process.)
    ~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
    ~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
    ~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
    ~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
    I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
    Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.

    Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
    Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

  • Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Because your camera is newer than your software.
    You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2.  Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
    You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
    The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

  • Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • How to open a .jpg image and edit it.

    I can't seem to figure out how to open a .jpg image or any image in Flash Professional CC. I'm quite new to this so sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. When I go to File>Open I can only see .as , .fla, .jsfl , .xsfl and .xml files. I do not have an option to be able to view .jpg or .png pictures. I would appericate if somebody could take the time and answer this for me
    Thanks

    If you want to edit a jpeg or png image, do that with a separate program such as Fireworks or Photoshop.  After you import the image into Flash you can edit the image again in these separate applications and update the image you imported into Flash via selecting the Properties option in the library menu for the image and clicking the Update button.

  • With iPhoto '11, can I access an actual jpg image from somewhere?

    I want to be able to make sure I can backup the actual, original, jpg image that is imported into iPhoto. Is there anyway to do this? Or how do I find the folder which contains the actual jpg files of the images I import into iPhoto?
    I am concerned with the possibility of iPhoto possibly crashing and not being able to open any of my images, but I would feel much safer knowing where all my images were located, so if I could find the folder in which the jpg is saved when it's imported into iPhoto, I could make sure that folder is included in my backup.
    I don't want to edit the image outside of iPhoto, I just want to make sure I can backup the actual jpg images.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    I want to be able to make sure I can backup the actual, original, jpg image that is imported into iPhoto. Is there anyway to do this?
    File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue set the Kind to Original
    Export to your preferred location. Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    You cannot access the Library from the Finder, nor should you. The iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    To see inside: Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    In iPhoto 11 the originals are stored in the Masters Folder.

  • Why can't I open pictures?  Last month it was no problem; now adobe pops-up saying it can't be done.

    Why can't I open pictures"  Until recently it was not a problem.  Now Adobe pop-up says I can't do it.

    Well, the free Adobe Reader can do very little more than read PDF files. It can certainly not open JPGs.
    I'll assume that you are getting that message when trying to open your JPG file by double clicking on its icon, which would indicate a file association problem. Reinstalling Reader could solve it, and there are other ways which depend on your operating system, but we don't even know if you are on Mac or Win...

  • Why can't I open a lot of documents since yosemite. They are in grey

    Since I installed the last version of OS X on my Ipad, I could not open a lot of documents on my Mac. I thought this problem would be solved when I would install Yosemite on my mac but this is not the case.
    Why are so many documents in grey and why can't I open these documents on my mac with yosemite ?

    Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
    They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
    NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

  • Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite?

    Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite? In the previous OS, I could highlight many links at a time, right click and then select "Open URL" to open the links in Safari. Now, if I select more than five links at a time (and sometimes with five links) it will only open the first five and TextEdit pops up with the alert, "The 'Open URL' service could not be used."
    I'm running 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 500 GB HD.
    TextEdit is Version 1.10 (319).

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Hi,
    I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
    i.e without adding an Apple ID
    iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
    I would try this.
    Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
    Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the  Server)
    On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number  is ticked for iMessages.
    If it is add the Apple ID
    On the Mac restart Messages
    Add the Apple ID
    At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
    Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.
