I have a large iba files. It failed for auto-save. When I close it and reopen, it shows "invalid format" and unable to open. Did anyone experience this?

can't open any of my files When trying to open a file whether it be a pdf, jpeg, zip or trying to install a new font, I get this error “INSERT FILE NAME” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash (It says the actual file name, but that's the message I get for everything I try to open.) The file is most certainly not damaged as I can install fonts by dragging in to FontBook and open files thru respective program. a little history of when this started: I recently got a new battery installed thru Apple and they also changed out my logic board so I had to reinstall everything. The file error started after the reinstall and happens to all files, new and pre-service. I used Time Machine to reinstall all files.

File becoming corrupted. I do a lot of photography work with Photoshop and I do regular backups. When copying my files from August to a back up disk, Finder told me one of the files couldn't be read. When I tried opening the file in Photoshop, it couldn't be read either. The file was from August 1st. I opened up Time Machine and went to August 3rd, could the file and restored it. The restored file was fine, so I can assume the originally created file was fine. Unfortunately, I've seen this before. Do I need to replace my hard disk?

Corrupted File?? I have a file that I am guessing has become corrupt. Looking at this screenshot when ever I try to add new rows after the last completed entry I am unable to get any blank rows. If I attempt to change the date and enter new data that data the entry is always erased and reverts to one row as these multiple rows are shown?

I have had this happen—restarting my computer is the only thing that has fixed it for me so far. It's a terrible flaw!
