[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1832124, member: 76746"] Hi All! Please pardon the post if it is inappropriate or in the wrong section. I'm using OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan on a 2007 MacBook Pro Here's the situation: I took a dozen photos with my Android phone. I'll call them "Group A". Later in the day, I took more. I'll call them "Group B". Looking at them on the phone [I][U]was[/U][/I] OK. A few days later, I moved them to the computer with an application called Android File transfer. Group A opens fine. Group B gives problems- The computer's Preview application gives the error message" JPG can'be be opened. It may be damaged or in a format that Preview does not recognize". Highlighting an image in Finder and pushing the space bar gives a grey box with a forever spinning wheel. No image appears. Next I moved them back to the phone. They don't open there either and there is no thumbnail. (On the day of taking, they did open on the phone.) This topic has many posts on the internet, but no solutions worked for me. Those solutions gravitated toward permission or unidentified source errors, which isn't the problem today. Do any of you know a procedure I can try to get these photos to open, or is it hopeless? Thanks for your advice. it is much appreciated! Paul [/QUOTE]
