Exec Files

What are Unix Executable Files?
I have some VIDEOP-TS files that, when try to open, I am told to choose application.
When I select Quicktime says, "Not a movie file."
I am unable to select DVD player.
How do I open?

Do you mean a VIDEO_TS folder? If so it sounds like something copied directly from a DVD. If it was a commercial DVD it probably would not play even if you could open it because those are mostly copy-protected so you can't just drag over files. Even if the files are valid there is a complicated structure to DVD media which means you have to have all the files, and in a certain structure.
Open the application DVD player, then select the menu item to open DVD media. Navigate to where you have you VIDEO_TS folder and see if it will open it. It it will all should be fine, if not then you may have protected media and the terms of use of the Discussions website regarding protected media do not allow us to help you further.

Can't remove or modify mystery exec file

I'm running 10.4.9 on a 3-yr-old G5. A couple items in the trash won't budge; both are now exec files, though they didn't start out that way. One originally was a text file, the other was a directory; I don't know how/why they were transformed. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I've been using a new thumb drive to transfer files (these and many others) among my computers.
The following steps have been unsuccessful at removing these folders from the Trash:
Finder: empty trash/secure empty trash; changing permissions; renaming the files (produces a new file in the trash that is removable, but the original remains).
Terminal: rm, chmod, mv commands (they have no effect; the file just sits there).
Two questions: (1) How do I remove the files from the trash? (2) Why/how did the originals get changed to exec files?
thanks,

Thanks for the suggestions (and the link to the helpful XLab site), but nothing worked. Your suggestion of creating a new file with the same name resulted in Trash with two separate but identically named files (a bit disconcerting); I could delete the new one but not the problem executable file. The sudo route, including all the recommendations from XLab (and from the OSXFAQ site linked therein) didn't work, either. I am listed as owner of these files, and they're in my .Trashes/501 folder, but ! they ! won't ! die!
Any other ideas?
Also, anyone know why/how my originals were transformed into executable files?

How do I open exec file?

I apologize in advance if this post is categorized incorrectly. This was the best possible thread I could find for it.
Any way.., here's the issue that I'm having. I had a .sitx file that contained a bunch of midi files. The .sitx file was on a partitioned USB flash drive. Since I have a Mac Intel, I also use a PC laptop. I plugged the USB flash drive into my PC laptop & tried to uncompress the .sitx file. The files were uncompressed however, they did not become midi files. Now, when I try to open the original .sitx file, even on my mac, the files do not decompress to their original midi file format. All I get are little grey squares that say "exec" in the upper left corner.
Is there any way to repair the original ..sitx file or the individual exec files?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thanks:
AJ

The next step that I would take is to use the free OpenOffice package. It is a MS Office 2003 style office suite and the MS Word counter-part (Writer) supports over 80 file formats including almost anything that MS Word has ever saved since the mid-1990s.
If you also have some WordPerfect documents to convert, then instead of OpenOffice, you want its free cousin, LibreOffice. The latter is a spin-off from OpenOffice and has retained the ability to open WP files from PC and Mac.
Either application is a drag and drop install into /Applications. Think of them as you would a can opener as a tool. Each will let you save/export to .doc and .docxl format. If you do not want an additional office suite, you can always remove them.

Opening a Unix Exec file with Automator

So i downloaded a game called Starbound from Steam onto my mac. To host a server, you need to start the starbound_server Unix Exec file. This file opens in Terminal, and runs a bunch of stuff. So, on my mouse i want to create a Macro that allows me to launch it.
I want to create a service in Automator that i can assign a shortcut to which i can therfore set as a macro on my mouse.
So my question is, what do i do? The 'Launch Application' function won't open it, its greyed out when i go to find it. Is there any Automator function that will allow me to open this file?
For ease of providing answers, the file path is:
/Users/---/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/Starbound.app/Contents/MacOS/starbound _server
Any help appreciated!

Hello
You may try using "Run Shell Script" action with the following contents:
~/'Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/Starbound.app/Contents/MacOS/starbound_server' &>/dev/null &
which will run the executable in background.
The service workflow will look something like this:

File folders turn into exec files

On a school iMac, I created folders which contained html, jpg, pdf files and other folders. I copied these folders to my thumb drive (the one I use all the time). When I got home, I put this thumb drive into my iMac (Yosemite OS) to finish the folder transfers. When I found the folders I was looking for, they had turned into exec files. What happened?

We need some clarification here. Specifically, you say:
When I found the folders I was looking for, they had turned into exec files.
What turned into "exec" files? The folders, or the files inside them? And when you say they are "exec" files, what exactly are you seeing?
One possibility is that the files you created have all changed to look like this:
If that's the case, then most likely you have somehow created those files without an extension, which means that Mac OS X has no idea what they are. You need to add an extension at the end of the filenames: .html, .jpg, .pdf, etc.
One other possibility, which Tim mentions, is that you have connected this flash drive to a Windows PC that is infected with some kind of malware that has replaced all those files with malicious .exe files. These would not affect your Mac, but would certainly affect the data on the flash drive. Do the filenames end in .exe or .lnk?
If none of that matches what you're seeing, we'll need more details. Screenshots would help. Make a screenshot by following the directions here:

VB3.0 Exec file running on Windows 8

Dear friends,
I have a VB3.0 Executable file and I need to run it on Windows 8; is there a library or an applet that I can use?

Hi,
In my opinion, this problem is more related with VB development. I noticed that you already provide another same thread in MSDN forum and that thread already had a reasonable reply, please focus on that thread.

EXEC FILES. What the heck are they?

I've got this 0 kb file in my download folder called "Downloads" and it's an Exec file. When I open it, it opens up the Terminal, does some kind of process and then says "Process Complete." What is that? Can I toss it in the trash? Why is it there? Thanks.

That item is labelled as an executable file because the permissions on it are set to allow it to be run and it has no information that tells the Finder what type of file it should be. It can safely be thrown away.

"exec" files; what are they?

When batch re-naming a folder, which I've done successfully millions of times, Bridge suddenly switched all the images to "exec" files (a grey icon with "exec" above in green), and they are unopenable. A whole session was ruined. Are they retrievable? Tom

As for the "exec" files, by omitting the extension, you fooled the OS into thinking they were UNIX executable files.

My folders on my QNAP NAS turned to be exec files when listed on my mac mini - not being accessible. When I restart the QNAP or my MAC I can see tham as a normal folder until my MacMini goes asleep and after awaking it I have again exe files.

I have a QNAP NAS which is connected to my Mac Mini.
When turning on I see my folders as folders, although one folder (might be too big) is not present.
After my computer turns off in energy saving mode and after starting it again, some of the folders turned to "exec" (black tile with green letters). They are not accessible anymore.
On my Windows machine and via the QNAP filesystem they are stil accessible.
The folders I talk about are full of Camera RAW files and XML-files (belonging to the camera raw files) as well as jpg and tiff files.
Who can help me....

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

Font files showing up as 0kb exec files HELP!!!

Hi all!
My company gave me access to their font files that are stored on their server so I can work at home. After downloading them, I have hundreds of fonts that are 0kb and the icon is showing up as a grey exec box. I am unable to import the fonts in either Font Book or FontExplorer X Pro, and I am at a loss as to what to do next.
I can't find an answer anywhere. PLEASE HELP! I'm practically in tears over this. I don't want to lose this job.
Thanks.

Julie,
A little late, but I hope you haven't lost your job yet. We just had the same problem. For some reason if you just drag a fonts folder to your computer a lot of these files (especially older fonts) will show up as 0kb or empty exe files.
To solve this issue, compress the fonts folder you wish to copy (right click with mouse and choose compress from the menu). This makes sure all fonts are saved in their original state. Then drag the compressed folder to its new destination. Once there, uncompress the folder and drag all your fonts to your fonts folder. Presto all your fonts are there!

Why the RAW files appear as exec files in CS4 Bridge?

I'm wondering how I can make my RAW files visible in CS4. I'm using the new iMac 10.8.3. Everything worked well in Tiger.

Canon 7D and 5D III
I believe you mean that only some files appear as 'exec', just a rounded rectangle icon with grey gradient and top left corn in green 'EXEC', the file extension shows '.CTG'. This is the file that sorts stuff on the CF card and you can safely delete this or simply ignore once the files have been imported on your computer.
If you check the file size of this icon you will see it has only a couple of 100 bytes, depending on the amount of files you have shot on one day or session so not even 1 kb while your Raw files will probably are around 15 or 20 MB in file size
