[AS] How can I find files created in CS2?

My company has 2000+ documents in a sytem that have been created using both InDn CS2 and CS3.
I need to be able to list all of the files that have not been updated to CS3. I've tried querying a known CS2 file using applescript and the FInder but the result only gives me InDn with no version.
I've asked for: file name, creator type and product version when querying the file, but product version doesn't give any result.
Result is (*Vue.indd, InDn, *)
Can this be done from the finder or do I have to script InDesign to query the documents? Obviously using InDesign will increase the query time.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

If you need to figure out version of both Window and Mac files from a Mac, this is how I do it:
--Parse file type for version
on parseFileType(myFile)
     set fileVersion to ""
     tell application "Finder"
          set thisFileType to file type of myFile
     end tell
     if thisFileType ≠ "" then
          if thisFileType = "IDd3" then
               set fileVersion to "3"
          else if thisFileType = "IDd4" then
               set fileVersion to "4"
          else if thisFileType = "IDd5" then
               set fileVersion to "5"
          else if thisFileType = "IDd6" then
               set fileVersion to "6"
          else
               log "Getting version by hand..."
               --Adobe InDesign 3.0
               --Applescript sucks at parsing large files, use grep instead
               set grepString to "Adobe InDesign [0-9]"
               set theCmd to "grep -rao \"" & grepString & "\" \"" & POSIX path of myFile & "\""
               log theCmd
               set grepResult to ""
               set grepResult to do shell script theCmd
               if length of grepResult > 1 then
                    set fileVersion to (characters -1 thru -1 of grepResult) as string
               end if
          end if
     end if
     return fileVersion
end parseFileType

    I'm sorry you've lost files, but when you set up an account as Guest, there's a message that clearly states "When a guest user logs out, all information and files in the guest account's home folder are deleted". If you want an account where files are retained, you should create an Admin or Standard type.
    You will need to use data recovery techniques to see if your file can be recovered. The more that you use your computer, the greater the risk that the file will be overwritten. You can contact a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers (which will be expensive, but you can judge the value of the file) or try something like Data Rescue. The latter has a demo which you can install to determine if your file can be recovered, and then, on purchase, you can actually recover the file.
    Good luck!

  • How can I recover files created in the guest account?

    I set up a guest account for the kids to use, and my wife then used my Mac to type up a word document (for over 3 hours) and saved it at the end of the evening. The next day she returned, and it had gone! I now read that the "Guest account" deletes all files when the computer is switched off (what idiot decided to make this deletion so immediate and so permanent, I am perplexed, why not at least put them in a temporary folder?).
    This document must still be there, surely, just "invisible". Please please, how can I get it back without parting with hundreds of pounds for file recovery document, it is just one file from yesterday!
    (I switched from PCs to Mac's when we bought a new Vista laptop at work and couldn't find the "file" and "open" commands on a drop-down menu top-left of screen - the Mac-fans at work promised me that Macs were "so intuitive" and "so much better than a PC". They lied. Macs and PCs are both designed by geeky-types who want more and more complex systems, when all I want is a computer that does what I ask without too much clever stuff (like deleting 3 hours of work because my wife happened to be in the wrong account). I have wasted as long trying to find said file....I'm so depressed.

  • How can I open files created in ClarisWorks 2 or 3?

    Hi
    Although I can still run AppleWorks 6 (in Snow Leopard) I am trying to 'future proof' my AW documents (WP, SS, DR, PT) by opening them and then saving them either as RTF, PDF, Excel, Word, or JPEG files.
    Unfortunately, I can only open pre-1996 WP documents in TextEdit (all formatting gone) and cannot open pre-1996 SS documents at all. Is there any application that will open documents created in ClarisWorks 2 or 3? I've tried AW itself, and LibreOffice, to no avail. (I do still have the CW2 app but as I have an Intel Mac and no way of running Classic, that's no good to me).

    Hello,
    to convert ClarisWorks files with AppleWorks, it is better to use AppleWorks 6.2.4 (or maybe 6.2.7), see AppleWorks for the modern day, a migration tip ; i.e. unfortunately AppleWorks 6.2.9 fails to open/convert many ClarisWorks files :-~
    Concerning LibreOffice, you must avoid LibreOffice 4.3.0 ( which has a problem with many filters on OSX ): as you have some spreadsheet files, the best is probably to try LibreOffice 4.3.1 RC1 which must be able to open most of these files. If this fails, you can try to download mwawOSX in http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmwaw/files ( also free), i.e. I have corrected a file detection's problem in the new version of libmwaw, so it may work better than LibreOffice ( which includes an older version of libmwaw )....
    Notes:
    - another solution may be to emulate a Mac Classic ( using for instance miniVMac http://minivmac.sourceforge.net : free if you still have some Mac Roms :-~ ) and then to run your version of ClarisWorks.
    - if you find some files that mwawOSX fails to convert and that are not confidential, I may be interested to see them...

  • How can I find files renamed using mv file/path/folder .filename

    So I was a complete idiot and was messing around with the terminal. I was trying to figure out how to hide folders from other people who would have access to my account. Instead of creating a useless text file within a new folder, I just tried it on one of my own personal folders. The folder itself contained about two months worth of work, and I have no clue why I did it. But I did, and now I cannot find it for anything. This is what I did:
    mv /users/azuredavid/documents/Q1/ .filename
    However when I tried to access this via the Go To folder option, it wouldn't work. I used the exact path as above as well as variations using a period. Eventually I resorted to using:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    killall Finder
    Now all I see is the addition of .DS_Store and .localized files in the folder. Still no work folder. I've seen conflicting reports of what exactly is the correct command for the defaults write command. I've used the one above as well as a few others, like AppleShowAllFiles YES, bool true, etc. Is there any way to get those files back?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Look for it directly inside your home folder, or try using the Terminal's find command to locate files with the names of items in that folder.
    2. The syntax used is one of the correct ones for that command.

  • How can i find or create a growing crack, spliting a bedroom wall?

    hey guys, was wondering if anyone can help me.
    so i have some footage i shot for the narative of a music video, i show the singer up ugainst the bedroom wall listening to his parents fight in the next room. the tighter shot i may just put an earthquake filter on it but for the wide shot, he backs away from the wall because i want it to have to "sonic bursts" (or quakes) and have a crack spit down the center. havnt found a partical emmiter like it and really would like it to be and "living" thing. i tried playing around with masking a texture and changing opacity over the duration but it looks really silly. then again im not too clued up on blend modes. any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    Maybe try a thunderstorm lightning effect and color it black or whatever color you need a dark inner glow might help

  • Where can I find the Start up disk and how can I delete file from it.

    where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
    How can I delete files from it?

    The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA.  You may delete files by draging the file  to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete).  Then empty Trash.

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • How can I find the user that created a user account and the user who last updated the account

    How can I find out who created a user account and who last updated the account. I think that this is the same information that is displayed in the description field on the General tab.
    I am using ADO commands and vbscript
    ug3j

    I should point out that there are two attributes of all AD objects that can help you track down the correct information in the system logs. These are the whenCreated and whenChanged attributes. This will tell when the object was created and when it was last
    modified, which should help when you search the logs. Also, while whenCreated is replicated to all DC's, so they will all have the exact same creation time, the whenChanged attribute is technically not replicated. The date/time on each DC reflects when
    the last modification was replicated to that DC. The values will differ slightly on each DC, reflecting how long it took for the change to replicate.

  • How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to when synchronising with outlook

    I´ve switched to iphone 4S from my 3Gs and would like to "clean" my itunes Sync before I use the new phone. Problem is, that the synchronisation with Outlook 2003 doesn´t work anymore. I guess the reason is that itunes refers to an old .ost or .pst file on my computer. I ve got several outlook profiles and changed from exchange to pop3. My question: How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to?
    Thanks a lot in advance :-)

    Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.
