Export Results in Unix Executable Files Instead of .jpg

When I try to export an album to a folder, the exported files are in "unix executable file" format instead of .jpg
How do I fix this?
  Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Harley:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In the file export window have you selected jpg or "original format" and have the Add extension checkbox checked?
Do the exported files have a extension? If so and it's jpg, then select on and bring up the Info window for it (Command-I). Then under default application select Preview and click on the Apply to all.. button. If you prefer to use a 3rd party editor like Photoshop or PS Elements then select that and click on the Apply to all... button. But the files should have an extension.
Do you Twango?

  • Time machine out of my control-Unix Executable file

    Time machine did not show up on my desk top today. When i tried to access it thru Go/Network I got a box that said SMB/CIFS/file system authentication.
    When I accessed the files on the time machine they don't open because they are "Unix Executable files" instead of the type that they really are. What happened to my access to the time machine?

    One thing to double check is that the computer name (in the sharing preference panel) is exactly the same as it was when the backups were made. Sometimes that is all it takes to have Time Machine continue with incremental backups.
    In your case, however, it may be that you would need to change the new computer's ethernet MAC address to the same as your old computer, and that could be a problem if you don't still have that computer.

  • Mac olm outlook files exported as unix executable files

    Hi There,
    I had to export all my mail in outllook 2011 on my MacBookPro due to size limitations with my company exchange account.  When I tried to import the exported file, I noticed it was identified as "unix executable file" & outlook could not import it.  I have tried to change the file extension but my Mac continues to handle the file as "unix executable file".  I am in complete panic as my entire email archive is contained in this exported file & I am unable to access it.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks. 

    I just tried it and my .olm file is simply a blank document with no application assigned to open it. You need to do a Get Info on the file and select the application to open the file. You might have better luck getting your question answered at the Microsoft Office for Mac Outlook forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook.
    Good luck,

  • Final Cut Pro Unix Executable file???  what do i do?

    Hey All,
    So I wanted to dig up an old movie i edited in 2003 so i took out the old IMac. I found the Final Cut Pro 2 sequence on there but because all the footage (capture scratch, etc.) is saved to an external hard drive i need to reconnect the material to the sequence. i hooked up my WD My Book drive to my G5 to find the clips and sure enough i backed them up on this hard drive (37 gb worth) awhile ago but for some reason all the clips say they're Unix Executable Files? Why did this happen when i backed them up instead of them staying as Quicktime files?
    So here are my questions...
    Tonight when i go home I want to be able to open up the FCP sequence on Final Cut Pro Studio 2 (fcp7)...will this be possible to open up an FCP 2 sequence that many versions later?
    Also, please tell me why the quicktime clips did this? When i do File-->Get Info-->change open with Terminal to Quicktime they play but how will i get them to reconnect to FCP?? Do i need to go one by one and add .mov extension??
    I'm very confused...i would rather not have to do the editing on the 2003 machine..i'd like to get it to work on my newest computer (27inch imac).
    Can i attach a newer external that the clips are on to the old mac?
    Thank you,
    Jenna

    ..will this be possible to open up an FCP 2 sequence that many versions later?
    Yes.
    Do i need to go one by one and add .mov extension??
    Use my [Automator Action|https://files.me.com/nikholmes/0ge9cr] which will rename them for you -Just choose the correct folder in the "Start At" section. Link is a direct download from my iDisk.
    Can i attach a newer external that the clips are on to the old mac?
    Of course.

  • Recovered files now UNIX Executable Files???

    After my previous external hard drive failed I had the data recovered and placed onto a new external drive. After looking at the files I have found that a number of them have become "unix executable files." I don't know what this is or how to fix it. It seems to have only happened to things such as saved emails, but there are some photos from my digital camera that have converted to this as well.
    While looking into the problem I found that the company that recovered the data placed it all onto an external hard drive that is an MS-DOS File System (FAT32) format instead of a Mac OS format. Could this be the problem since all of my files were Mac files, and the hard drive they were recovered from was formatted to Mac OS?
    If this is the case, is it something I can fix myself without loosing anything, or should I take it back to the place that recovered the data?
    ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes the file naming probably was messed about with when they copied stuff over to FAT32. The files are probably there. However, the just need the correct file suffix to associate with the correct programs. A good way to test the files without hurting them is to view them in the Terminal with the program called More. Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and you will be greeted by a prompt. At the prompt type the word
    more
    followed by a space (do NOT hit enter)
    and drag the file into the terminal following the word "more" and then when the path appears, hit enter. If there is intelligible text, the file is probably an e-mail. If there is no intelligible text, it probably is an image, or a system file. Preview can open the files which are images and save them to specific formats. Depending on the number of files you had rescued, it might be better to ask them to rescue it again, but to a properly formatted volume. You can try yourself if you still have the old disk with Prosoft Data Rescue.
    In anycase, this is a very good lesson to always backup your data in the future as my FAQ explains:

    Good luck!

  • Quark files show as unix executable files.

    I have a strange issue. This is an all mac enviornment. The iMac's are running 10.4.11, and Quark express 6.0 One of the iMac's show the quark files as unix executable files. All of the other mac's can open the files without any issue.
    On the iMac that has an issue, some of the folders show up as unix executable files as well. Also, there is a network share that is a log in item that should auto mount when the user logs in, it no longer mounts automatically. The only way to mount the share is by navigating through finder.
    I was able to open one of the quark files by using open, then save the file using save as. this appended the file extension. I also enabled file extensions in finder, and manually appended the extension and they still would not associate with Quark. The file I did a save as does associate with Quark but it is the only one.
    I repaired disk permissions and that did not help. Anyone have any ideas on this one?

    I also couldn't find the download link for xsupport on the link you provided.
    Looks like they have changed their business model. I just copied the URL out of the aboutbox of my copy of the Xsuppport toll but didn't crosscheck it.
    Does that give any indication on what the problem is?
    Not really, perhaps a corrupted or unreadable (by permission) .DS_Store file in the folder where your Xpress files reside, but then again that should affect other clients as well.
    Which leads to the question:
    When some clients have the correct mapping document <-> Quark Xpress and one (or more) other(s) don't, do you connect with different users to the server or are the users always the samr but the connection made from different machines?
    If youuse different users to connect, then the problem very like is on the server side (addess rights, etc). If the same user has different results on different machines, the problem's most likely a local one. In which case you coud try all of ManiMenu's clean and deep clean actions.

  • Fonts problems (unix executable file)

    Hi,
    I've a mac os x 10.4.11(tiger) G5 and a new mac os x 10.5.2(leopard)Imac both connected on a server.
    I've many differents fonts on the server. On the G5, I can take all the fonts on the server, put them on my desktop and they will keep their extensions. On the Imac, when i do the same, only the *.ttf et *.otf are recognized, and all the others (font suitcase, postscript type 1 outline font, etc...) are known as unix executable file (0 ko). So, i've to go on my G5, create a zip file of the fonts, open my zip on my desktop's Imac (not on my server, because same problem) and then I've all my fonts with the right extension.
    My font software is (on my both mac) is Linotype FontExplorer X Version 1.2.3.
    What I've to do, to proceed in the same way on my Imac as on my G5, and not create a zip?
    Thanks

    I knew this sounded familiar. Mark Douma posted this on a very similar thread a while back.<hr>Notice the "__MACOSX" folder in the expanded archive? That's evidence that the original archive was created using the built-in "Create Archive" function of the Finder, but that the archive on your end was expanded using Stuffit Expander 8.0.1 or earlier.
    ZIP files don't normally support resource forks, so when you create a zip file of fonts, the program needs to some method of preserving this information. In Stuffit Expander versions 8.0.1 and earlier, it used its own method to preserve this information (before creating the final zip file, it would first encode each included file as a MacBinary (.bin) file).
    Unfortunately, the built-in "Create Archive" feature of the Finder (BomArchiveHelper.app, actually) uses a different method, one which you're seeing evidence in the "__MACOSX" folder in the images shown. Inside that folder are the "other halves" of the files you want to use.
    There are two possible solutions:
    1) Instead of using Stuffit Expander to expand the .zip files, use the built-in feature of OS X. To do this, select a .zip file in the Finder, and choose Command-i to open a Get Info window. In the Open With section, make sure that "BomArchiveHelper.app" (Tiger and earlier) or "Archive Utility.app" (Leopard) is set to open the archives. If it isn't, click the pop-up menu, choose Other, and navigate to the /System/Library/CoreServices/ folder and choose the appropriate application for your version of OS X. Then click the Change All button to apply this to all .zip files. Then locate the original .zip and expand it once again.
    2) Update your version of Stuffit Expander to version 8.0.2 or later. Allume changed the method it used to preserve information in zip files to match that of the Finder's method in Expander 8.0.2 and later. After updating, locate the original .zip file and expand it once again.
    There may also be an advanced way of salvaging these files shown toward the end of the following movie.
    The following movie shows the predicament (I haven't had a chance to add sound or text, but it should hopefully be self-explanatory).
    Notice the version of Stuffit Expander used to expand the archive is 8.0, which exhibits the same problematic behavior you're seeing:
    http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/images/zipFilesAndFonts.mov (~8.0 MB).
    Hope this helps.... <hr>
    Essentially, it's all in how the fonts were compressed or sent. Trying to send Mac fonts as direct attachments in an email will almost certainly ruin them. As Mark stated above, how they were zipped and then unzipped can also create empty fonts.

  • CDF type to Unix Executable File

    When downloading a Comma Delimited File Database, Safari saves the download as a "Unix Executable File" and my database (Filemaker) will not recognize the file type. What is the problem (or solution)? Thanks in advance

    There is no extension. What appears is the file name with an unusual (for Mac) icon. This was not the solution, but thank you. I have subsequently tried the download on two other machines with the same result. The question remains why does Safari (or Mac OSX) change a comma delimited file to an Unix executable file. I did discover that by opening the file in textedit and saving it, Filemaker will then work the file. That is only a workaround, not a solution.

  • File type changed to Unix Executable File

    Hello:
    I restored a corrupt Word file from a back-up drive (files are backed up using a special rsync that splits data and metadata forks. I did not assemble the two forks before copying the file back to the production volume) into a production folder in a local machine. Now when I browse the volume from my networked computer all Word files without extensions show up as Unix Executable Files. I've cleared the Launch services in the networked machine with no results. If I browse from other networked computers file types are set correctly. The problem seems to be with this specific networked machine. What an I do to restore file types as they should be? Please, note the problem seems to be with the client machine not the file server.

    Thanks, Kappy. I've tried that but I get an error message saying "An error ocurred while changing...because not enough information is available." Could that mean that the action cannot be done because these files don't have extensions? When I go ahead and select to use Word to always open the file it only takes effect on that file. But the file remains a Unix Executable file.
    Could anyone provide any further help with this issue?

  • Word documents appear as "unix executable files" and cannot be opened

    Hi: I am running 10.5.5 on my Intel Imac. The problem is that many old MS Word documents have suddenly flipped into documents with no file extension, but which are identified in the Preview window as "unix executable files."
    I've had this happen before, and all I had to do was add the .doc extension for them to become Word documents again. This time there is nothing I can do to change them over. I have tried opening them from Word, from Pages, from Text Edit, with no results. (I have also used all the possibilities available from Word as well).
    There doesn't seem to be any pattern -- random documents in the same folder, created at the same time and modified at the same time, appear as unix files, while the others seem fine. Any ideas?
    <Post Relocated by Moderator>

    This is the iWeb forum. You should post your question in the Leopard forum. But I'll give a try at a possible solution:
    1 - check the Finder preferences and make sure you have the option to show file extensions checked.
    2 - select one of the Work files, type Command+i and in the Info window go to the Open With menu and select Word as the default application. Then click on the Apply to All... button.

  • Program won't launch into classic, OSX insists it is UNIX executable file.

    I am trying to get an older database which runs fine on my older iMac (running 9.2) to launch in classic on my non-Intel Mac-mini running OSX 10.4.6. When I try to launch it, I get an OSX window saying "There is no default application specified to run the document ...". Under "Get Info" the application is called an "UNIX Executable file". How can I get OSX to label this as a Classic application instead of UNIX? All my other classic programs work just fine.
    Mac-Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have had these problems converting files from older computers (OS9) to new Mac Minis (Panther and Tiger) at work and sometimes I get the blank white icon and sometimes the blue unix .exe file icon. I have 2 workarounds that might work for you. The first one is by zipping the file and transfering the zip file to the new machine. The second is using a flashdrive. I have to erase the drive on the Mini (sometimes takes two tries) and then put it in the OS 9 machine and initialize it again there using Mac OS Extended in both machines. After this I can copy the file to the drive and it shows up with the correct icon and file extension so I can open it on the Mini.
    I also found out yesterday that although you can't network from a Mini to the iMac, with the latest updates on Tiger you can now drop files into the Dropbox on the Mini after you set permissions. The file I tried this with came up with a blank icon, but it did open in the original app. When we bought our first machine with Tiger they wouldn't connect and Apple phone support told me there was no way to do it, which stopped me from updating two Minis from Panther to Tiger.

  • Unix Executable files - need help to open

    Hi folks, sorry i have been looking through previous discussions re these type of files but its all well and truley above me.  I have been given a video file and when copied to 'finder' it showed it was a unix executable file and it opened Terminal, again made no sense to me.  I was informed to download MPEG Streamclip with no luck and the jargon I have read is goobledegook to me, sorry.  Can anyone help pls in simple terms???? 

    One thing you could try is to drop one of the files on to the vlc video player.  If the file is truely a video file then odds are vlc will figure that out and be able to play it.  It also has a menu to tell you info about the file so you could figure out what kind of file it actually is.
    In the case of windows .wmv files you should add Flip4Mac.  That would allow you to play those with QuickTime.
    Similarly add Perian to add more power to QuickTime so that it too could possibly handle those files like vlc.

  • One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Old Quark files are now Unix Executable Files

    I made hundreds of archive CD's with Mac's running OS 9 back in 1990's. They contain Quark files and .tif's. I've referred back to these CD's many many times over the years with no problems. My new iMac has the intel processor. I pop an archive CD in and all the files (with no extensions like "tif" or ".qkd" or ".eps") are now "Unix Executable Files" that won't open.
    I simply add an extension to the images files (like ".tif") and they work. HOWEVER, it's not so easy with the Quark files. I add ".qkd" to the file name and it still remains a Unix file.
    I launch Quark and try to open the file through the finder and it doesn't work. I took an archive CD to a friends house whose on a G5 and the CD worked properly with no extensions needed to be added.
    So I figure the problem is with the Intel/PC based processor. I shouldn't have sold my old G5.
    One forum claimed that a program called "File Buddy" did the trick for him. Does anyone have any other ideas other than me buying a non-Intel Mac.
    I love our new iMacs but I need these archive CD's to work!
    Thanks

    I automatically run OnyX once a week for maintenance, but it didn't help this situation.
    Those chores won't reset the LaunchServices database. Go to the Maintenance heading and click on the Reset tab. Turn on the check box for "LaunchServices database" (all other check boxes off). Click the Reset radio button and then Execute. Restart your Mac.
    OS X will automatically rebuild the database according to the applications on your hard drive, giving preference to Apple applications as they would be when you first install OS X. So if you have the Acrobat Reader set up to open PDF files, you'll have to do that again as they will be set back to Preview.
    Actually it's .qxd not .qkd for Quark XPress file extensions.
    That's it! I knew .qkd was wrong, but Quark 6.x won't show you the old extensions when you save a file, and I couldn't remember it (been using InDesign steadily for a while now).

  • Unix Executable Files need to be Imported to ITunes

    I have numerous sound files that are listed as Unix Executable Files in Finder. I can Play the sounds within Finder, but cannot seem to import them into ITunes. I read in another thread to simply add ".mp3" (or some other suffix) and then import. I don't know what the suffix should be, but I have tried .mp3, .aiff, and .wav, with none working. Are there other types of sound files I can try? Is there a way to make them become .mp3 (or something usable)? I have them stored on the HD, but would like to be able to share them or burn them to CD. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
