Q: Almost every shoot I do, Aperture manages to corrupt 5-10 RAW images?

Apr 3, 2012 4:22 PMby DanielJoshuaLambert,OK... an update.
I reformated the card, got a new cable and had another go.
Still corrupted images...
I'm thinking now it's Aperture - I was working on a shoot - all fine and dandy, I had a good 20 edits that I was happy with. I've been coming back and forth whilst doing other work. Just opened aperture now, been working for about 20 mins and BAM one of the edited images corrups with no warning.
I can't restore it, luckily enough I still have them on my camera. I'm getting more and more paranoid by the day, why is Aperture doing this?!
I am yet to try to import through another program - I'm just getting slightly aggitated that it's doing this.
Any thoughts...?
Thanks

The original poster now seems to be documenting that the corruption occurs after import, so I don't what to think -- it has never happend to me.

Apr 4, 2012 7:56 AMby DanielJoshuaLambert,Hi all
Used a card reader - only ONE image has imported corrupt. I guess this is an improvement.
However... why has it corrupted this image? and I'm slightly worried if I start edited these, they'll become corrupt again.
I dont know what to do!!
Thanks for all your replies so far

You are definitely experiencing something that other users of this forum are not.
A few questions: In what way are your images corrupt? Can you post a screenshot?
You indicated that when you export a version, that it is in fact not corrupt. You also indicated that exporting does corrupt. Those are opposites, so can you clarify what's going on there? Does that mean that you believe your photos are okay, but Aperture is not displaying them to you correctly?
What happens if you make a new "test" library and import some photos into that? If some photos have problems, and the re-importing those photos works, it implies to me that it is not Aperture, and in fact may be a faulty disk. Do you have another drive on which you could make the test library to eliminate the possibility that your current drive is not at fault? I have had images go to the bit bucket because of a disk with some bad sections on it.
What do you see when you view the "master" for one of the corrupt images?

Here is an example of a corrupt image.

Hope you can see it.
The corruption is so intermitent - for example, I went to export a corrupt image now, and the corruption dissapeared!!! ...then reappeared in a completely different part of the image a few minutes later.I exported a corrupt image and opened it in photoshop and the errors are still visible.

Apr 4, 2012 8:13 AMby Ernie Stamper,This does not look like anything Aperture could directly do. In your first post you mention USB hardwire being involved - what did that mean? If the Masters are on an external drive in a Referenced Library, have you checked the USB cable with which it is connected for damage? I as this because the closest thing I have ever see to this have all been some kind of transmission error. Since the exported image has the corruption, I think that leaves out the graphics card, but testing with another computer might be good.

Apr 4, 2012 8:19 AMby DanielJoshuaLambert,I initally used a USB cable to import the images into Aperture (direct from my camera)
I have now tried a card reader to import - same problems.
Corruptions come and go - they're so random.
I am unable to try on another computer - do you reckon it's the Harddrive?
