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!

Hi. I have a 7.1MB wav file that was sent to me. When I download the file from Mail on my Mac Book Air, the file is truncated at 1.1MB. However, when I download the same file onto my iPhone 4S, the file comes out at the appropriate size of 7.1MB. Please help!
Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode. -
Deleted files show as ghost or empty files
I've been clearing out a ton of old files from my MBP and an external Maxtor HD. For some I've used Spring Cleaning and for others I've used Find and deleted from the results.
My problem now is that I search and find literally thousands of titles of deleted files. The icons show as a square formed by dotted lines. If I ask for Info, the pane shows Read Only but appears to contain no data. If I ask to open the enclosing folder, nothing happens.
Would appreciate any help I can get -- very difficult to search among all these titles even though they don't seem to be affecting performance in any other way. ;-}I have seen those "ghost" files a time or two. I don't remember the circumstances, but my guess is there is a file system inconsistency. Try booting from your install disk, then dismiss the install window and go to the menu bar, select Disk Utility and then repair your startup disk. If it finds errors, run it again until it comes up with a completely error free run. You can run Disk Utility from the startup drive on the external disk, but to fix the startup drive itself you need to boot from the install disk. If there are errors it can't repair you may have to invest in a copy of DiskWarrior. After the disks' file systems have been repaired you might try having Spotlight re-index the drives: add the drive to the Privacy pane (System Prefs->Spotlight), wait a bit, then remove it.

AVI file shows just white screen with audio, help
I created a video on an old sony vaio, before i came to my senses and bought a mac. I have got the video off of the old laptop, but it won't play on quicktime now. I have tried some converters and what not, but it still won't play on my mac at all. does anyone know any ways that seem to work converting AVI files or anything? i really want to play this video.
Open the avi (even though it doesn't show video) and then use "Show MovieInfo" in the Windows menu of QT Player. That will tell you what codec was used in making the video. If it was an Indeo compressor you will not be able to view it in OS X unless you can run the Classic environment. Indeo codecs for Classic
If they are not Indeo videos you may be able to play them in OS X by iinstalling the decompressors from these sites:

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:

Duplicate entries showing up in "Manage Open Files"
We are seeing an odd phenomenon with file sharing on our Windows Server platform. I'm posting here because I haven't seen anything quite like this in my Google searches.
Off and on, when a user will try to access a file stored on the share of our file server, the file will open in "Read Only" format. Usually this has to do with multiple users having the file open at once, but by the time the user experiencing the
issue would get around to telling me about it, I couldn't find any indication of a conflict in "Share and Storage Management" and they would be able to open the file after I prompt them to try again.
I've done my due diligence by checking for leftover locking files on the share, but have not seen any, so up until this point I've just chocked the issue up to happenstance.
However, I finally managed to catch the problem in the act. A user was showing me something on their computer when the file they tried to open showed up as "Read-only." I opened the share manager on our file server, and saw only that user had opened
the file. I asked them to close the file and try again. They did, and got the "Read-only" version again. I refreshed the view in "Manage Open Files" and saw this:
When the user opened the file, it looks like the file server thought the user opened the file 5 separate times all at once. 4 instances of the open file are marked "Read" while only one is marked "Read, Write."
Has any one seen this behavior before?
Thanks for your help,
DSellHi DSell,
From the screenshot it is a doc file. So please first check if there is any temp file created in the folder e:\users\nk\documents\signs. This including tmp files and files with no extension.
Shaon,
In response to your reply, I'd like to point out that I already mentioned looking for temp files and didn't find any:
"I've done my due diligence by checking for leftover locking files on the share, but have not seen any, "
Specifically this means I was on the look out for files matching the open file in the users folder starting with a "~$". In each instance, the temp file was not there. I would
also like to point out again that the file was completely closed, there were no entries of open files in the file manager before the user tried to open the file once. As soon as they tried to open it once, 5 entries of the open file showed up immediately in
the File manager. Very strange.
The user indeed has permission to read and write to the folder. I have not seen the issue occur for non-Office files, but I will report as soon as I see that behavior. -
How do I get file paths when hovering over a file name in Mountain Lion?
In Snow Leopard I used to be able to hover over any file name and immediately get a file path in a small yellow window. What has happened to this feature in Mountain Lion?
arthur, thanks for the path bar tip. That is what I needed. Solved the problem.
I don't know what has happened to the yellow window that would appear if you hovered over any file showing the path of the file. It was simple to see the path with this window that appeared and disappeared if you moved the cursor. -
Samsung t509 - files don't appear in bluetooth file exchange
hey all,
I have a samsung t509 and when I connect to it via bluetooth, all of the directories I search on the phone appear empty. I know the files are there (mostly camera phone pics) but they won't appear in bluetooth file manager via browse.
I actually had this problem some time ago and found a fix for it, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. grrrrrr.ok I found the problem - in order to have files show up in a bluetooth file manager, they have to be specifically shared. basically you have to go in through file manager, click options, and then select 'share for bluetooth', then all, then add.
they'll finally show up.
grrrrrr. -
Fonts showing up as Unix executible files in snow leopard
Hello,
We just upgraded to new imacs with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and almost all of our fonts located on the hard drive are showing up as Unix Executable files with 0kb. Besides having problems installing these into Suitcase Fusion 2, I think the fact that they are showing up this way initially may be the root of the problem with Suitcase. Is anyone else experiencing this and what can I do to solve this problem?
Thanks,
KristieSo, the fonts are showing up fine on the mac with tiger (10.4.11) which is reading them from the network server (Windows drive)...
Whew! Good. Some servers are set up to allow this, others kill any resource fork dependent fonts you put on them.
By default, when you copy any Mac files to a Windows formatted drive (NTFS, FAT32), you end up with two files. Once for the data fork, and one for the resource fork. So say you have a legacy TrueType font named Basil. On the Windows drive, a file named Basil will be created for the data fork, which is the one you will see from your Mac. OS X will also create a file name ._Basil to store the resource fork data. You don't see this one from your Mac because it starts with a period. Any such file is automatically hidden from the user's view in OS X.
Anyway, you can try two things. One, copy the files from the server to the Mac running Tiger. When you copy such split files back to a Mac formatted drive, they are automatically put back together by OS X into a normal Mac data/resource file. If that works (they maintain their size once copied back to that Mac), then you can put them on a flash drive and bring them over to the Macs running Snow Leopard.
Else, you can have IT look into what's wrong/different with the network setup in the new Macs that they aren't reading the networked fonts the same way the Tiger computer is. Right now, they're not seeing the ._xxx resource fork data.
On top of that, assuming the fonts do copy back correctly to the Mac running Tiger, I would definitely create a permanent backup of all your fonts in Mac format, such as on a CD, and put it in a safe place.
which folder should I dump them in? My little house/Library/font? Or some other folder?
If there are multiple users of each Mac, then put them in the main /Library/Fonts/ folder. Then any user of that Mac can use the fonts. If you were to put them in the Fonts folder of you user account, then only you would be able to use them (or anyone else logged into your account). The downside to either of these locations is that they are on all the time, by default.
Since you're using Suitcase, you can put them wherever you want and activate them as necessary. You can even leave them in the /Library/Fonts/ folder since you still deactivate any fonts you want within that folder from Suitcase's interface. -
Double file extensions keep showing up when saving a file in Illustrator CS3???
I just installed the CS3 suite and when I am saving files in illustrator I keep getting double file extensions. For example if I save a file named "filename" as a .eps file it shows up in the save window with filename.eps.eps Also, if I click through the possible file types to save it keeps adding them one after the other so if I click. say pdf eps and ai the file in the "Save As:" window looks like this " filename.pdf.eps.ai.ai" Any ideas why this is happening? I keep having to mouse click in the "Save As:" box and delete the extra extension. This is really annoying!!
I am running the design premium CS3 on OSX 10.5 on a mac pro.
Thanks.>Wade... I've seen it... and reported it originally to Adobe. I've since realized it's a 10.5.1 issue. It doesn't happen with 10.4.11, just 10.5.1
I've seen extra periods (.) and extra extensions.
then you and Dave have the same conflict with a third party software, corrupt font, corrupt preference or the like because it is not happening o my Mac Pro and I have the same model Mac as you do and I am working fine in 10.5.1 and only problem I have had with AI CS 3 is when I tried to place a 3D CAD file with the extension .dxf which is not really supported.
I have not seen this even once. Would you like to see screen shots, it honestly is not a 10.5.1 or Illustrator issue on its own. This has to be user specific. -
Text files showing up as binary in Yosemite
Anyone having trouble with text files?
I have a dumpster of text files in which I keep a lot of general information, including lots of knowledgebase items I keep handy. I have my text files set to open with TextWrangler. I've used this as the main way I work since 10.6 -- I search with Alfred/Spotlight, and GREP search text files with TextWrangler. This is the way I keep lots and lots of general notes that I need to reference.
Well, with Yosemite, it previews all previous plain .txt files as binary, or at least that's what it looks like. When I open and save them, they are now binary static/noise, and that's how they save.
If I create a brand new text file and save as a .txt file with TextWrangler, then everything is fine.
I don't think this is TextWrangler's fault, because previewing/opening files with other text editors, such as even TextEdit, still shows binary.
As described above, this is pretty much a baseball bat right into my spokes. It makes Yosemite unusable for me.The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatible and know the rumors are that 10.6.2 will be play better w/fonts in some cases. -
Trace files showing bind variables value=""
10g on solaris
Hi All,
We have an issue with an informatica workflow issuing an update statment to Oracle in trems of performace.
I switched the tracing on using DBMS_SUPPORT with binds set to TRUE. It has captured the trace files accordingly against a controlled set of data. Twot trace files were produced.
The first trace files shows the SELECT statment being issues that identifies the records that will be updated.
The 2nd trace file shows the actual UPDATE statment being issued as a PL/SQL loop to do the update.
There were 20 records that the users have rigged to updated and the update statment shows 20 cases where updates took place. All updates took place succesfully after checking the post results. However my issue is why the trace files are showing the bind vaules as being set to ""?..any ideas appreciated!
an extract of the trace file...

To answer your question, it is the client application that must correctly define the bind variable types.

Custom Metadata panel to show linked graphics from InDesign files?
Hello all,
I'm looking to create a custom Metadata panel to show linked graphics from InDesign files. I'm not even sure if this is possible. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I figure if you can see the fonts used in an InDesign file, you should probably be able to pull the links, right?
Thanks for any and all help!Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences
And of course it's essential that the links be up to date. -

After Mavericks upgrade fonts on server appear as Unix executable files
Hello:
I upgraded two machines to Mavericks. An iMac and a Macmini both were running 10.8. We store files and fonts on a Windows server. Before the upgrade the fonts appeared as aspected on the server in the Finder, after the Mavericks upgrade they appeared as Unix executable files ( Only on the iMac ) the fonts display correctly on the MacMini. Both machines mount the server the same way and the fonts do work correctly if downloaded to the local machine.
Anyone have an idea why they would appear correctly on one machine and not the other.
appreciate any input.
thanks,

Kurt is very likely right, but we need more info to try to fix it.
Server details?
What version of Mac OS X can view the fonts?
What protocol do they use?
What protocol do you use?
If they connect to the server with a different protocol from you (eg, AFP vs SMB), try switching to the same protocol. That may very well not solve the problem, but it's the first step.
