So I'm importing a p2 card I shot on, and all the files download EXCEPT the on one that says "spanned" on the side of the transfer window in FCP 6. I can preview the file in FCP, picture and audio is fine. how do i repair this? PLEASE HELP!

There's nothing corrupt about that file. Put the card back in the camera and see if it plays, I'll bet you that it plays just fine. FCP's Log & Transfer is to blame.

Hopefully someone who uses it will come in here and tell you how to make it work. In the meantime you might want to look into one or more of the many alternatives to Log & Transfer which will ensure you never run into these issues again. Those alternatives include Raylight, MXF4QT, and Calibrated's MXF Importer.
 
"spanned" means part of the footage is on another card - and basically FCP's log and transfer wants the other part to construct it correctly. I assume you have the other card?

This is a user error.
