name of file is damaged and I can't rename or delete the

I'm on a MacBook Pro OS 10.11.2.

I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup over a year with no problems.  She always did exactly what I expect from him and I don't know how it is related to this problem, but it is the program that revealed the problem.

I ran a CCC backup tonight, and for the first time, I got a message saying that it had been a mistake.  I watched the news and he said that a mistake had occurred during the transfer of a file.  The file is buried several folders deep on my desktop and so far it was still named "10/12/94.  However, the file has now acquired the name "10/12/94␀ [email protected] ␀Re 4 '-it now contains special characters and it may contain invisible special characters as well.  (Note that the file is a text file of email, so the "[email protected]" in the corrupted name is probably the beginning of the e-mail address of a message in the file).

I don't know what caused the change of name - if just CCC discovered or that it caused the problem.  I ran my last backup 6 days without any problem, and I not did something weird to my computer since then.  The file that causes the problem is that I haven't looked over the years, and I was not in four or five levels of this Bank, since I copied it on my computer from my old laptop.

I tried to delete the file from the finder, and I get a message that "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."  I tried to rename the file from the finder, and any new name I type, I get a message that the name cannot be used.

I tried to delete the file from the terminal with rm and I get an error "Invalid Argument".

I tried to delete the file using the Recycle Bin option in the utility application of Onyx, and I get an error "Invalid Argument".

I tried to delete the file using the trash it! request for utility and I get an error "Invalid Argument".

I also tried all of these options of deletion on the record encompassing both, and they all fail in this case.

I ran disk on the drive utility and it found no error.  I also ran check disk of Onyx and it found no error.

I tried a variety of Google search terms and I have tried many different suggestions that came, but nothing has worked.

Anyone have an idea how I can rename or delete this file?  After performing backup of tonight I have it now on my laptop and my support.

Thank you.

Have you tried to change the protection on the file? This can be done from the finder with "Get Info" or from the command-line if you are savvy of Unix. Give you access to R + W and try to rename or to delete again, you choose.

In addition, if the file is located on the boot disk, boot from the recovery partition and run the tool again to drive from there.

Kind regards

    Hello

    1. what kind of file is it?

    If you know the location of the file, I recommend you start in safe mode and then remove the file and check. If you are able to delete the file, then start in normal mode and try to uninstall the program.

    From what you say, you are probably unable to start Windows.

    In this case, when you start the computer, keep tapping the key "F8" on the keyboard until the Advanced menu comes up. Then choose "Safe Mode".

    You will see something like your ordinary, here to enter office "chkdsk volume: /f" (replace with your hard drive volume, in most cases, it's 'c') at the command prompt.

    Hello ErikAtkinson,

    You can try saving the PDF file on your desktop before trying to open it.
    See if that helps with corruption problems.

    If this isn't the case, then I suggest that you post in the forums Adobe for Adobe Reader. I have included a link below:
    http://forums.Adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums

    They better be able to help with their product.

    Sincerely,

  • There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    Greetings,

    I searched the forums, and this mistake has been examined in the context of how to treat a damaged PDF file.

    My question is a little different. The company that I am working has a tool to create what we call "knowledge base articles", i.e. product XML authoring with us help topics. They used this tool from 2008. Files can be attached to a topic. The XML files and attached PDF files is stored in a SQL database. Using the TOC Panel or the search function, relevant topics are retrieved.

    When there is an attached PDF, users can view the PDF in the browser or download the file and open it locally.

    The knowledge base has been moved from an environment of database SQL 2005 in Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 for an environment database of SQL 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.

    Now that we have the following problem: in some subjects the downloaded PDF can't be opened and one error

    "There is an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired. "is displayed. The curious is that some PDF files published this error, while others open without a problem. Source file all PDF files open without a hitch before they are downloaded.

    Any advice or pointers would be very appreciated.

    TIA, Donna

    Donna,.

    as you have probably read in a lot of discussions on this matter, this error message is usually correct, and the PDF file is damaged. As for how it gets damaged, it's something you need to know by poking around in your system. Here are a few general things that always apply when working with corrupt files:

    The first thing I would do is open such a file corrupted in a text editor such as NotePad to see what it actually contains. Any valid PDF file must begin with '% PDF -' followed by a version number. If you don't see that in the first line, then you are not dealing with a PDF file and you know why you do not get the file saved in your knowledge base.

    If this string is there, then you know that there a PDF file and the issue is somewhere in this file, and is where it gets much more complex. You will need a good understanding of the PDF specification to parse the file to see what is wrong with him.

    If you're lucky, you'll actually have a file of length zero (which means also no PDF header). No valid PDF file cannot be zero bytes long. Your second chance case would you find in fact an HTML error in this file (instead of PDF content), that tells you the reason for the problem (but again, this depends on your system).

  • Help? This Adobe Muse site file is damaged and cannot be opened.

    In the process of looking for a new program of creation of Internet site, I ran across Adobe Muse that I downloaded the trial version. I was really impressed with it until last night.

    After two weeks of creation and tweaking the company of my wife website, it is time to upload it to the server, but when I tried to open the file I got the error message "this Muse Adobe site file is damaged and cannot be opened. Is there any hope of recovering it, or I have to start all over again? I was after all register change, so small they are, so I wouldn't run the risk of losing changes if a problem arose. I see no problem of disk, and nothing else seems to be affected.

    Any ideas? As I'm only using the trial version, is there any kind of support?
