How to open .exe files in my macbook

Until now everything was always fine. But lately whenever i put my flashdrives into my MacPro, every folders seem to be unable to open because it is in format .exe then it is opened in TextEdit application
How can I deal with this, I'm not sure I've press the wrong button or not.

Firstly, if you have a'folder' that is in EXE format then it is most likely a virus and not a folder. Move the drive to a windows machine and run a virus scan on it. Your data may have been replaced.
Secondly, if you know what you are doing you can create a bottle and run a few small EXE's on your Mac.
Grab this http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ and watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxgph6-3aIg
But know this, if you open even one virus, it can do a large amount of damage to your mac as you cannot run an antivirus through the bottler. Only do this if you are confident in the security of your machine and are aware that it will only run *some* programs. If you need libraries (like .net, directx or MS Visual C++) then install ones from the windows website.

    hi  i am a newbie   can anybody tell me how to open .docx files on macbook pro 10.7.4

    Ideally, you need software like Microsoft Word (Office), or Open Office, or NeoOffice, or LibreOffice, or Pages, etc.
    TextEdit or Preview (applications folder) can usually view them, though not always perfectly.

  • How to open  .exe file located in server system by the client system

    hi,
    i am using tomcat 5.0 as server and jsp as front end.
    I placed some of the software in the server system.I want to open the exe of those software from the client system when the user clicks the button.
    I am able to open them in the server system itself but if i try to open it from other system(client system using ip address of server system), the exe file gets opened and displayed in the server system only but not in the client system.
    any idea???
    Please help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    sirisha

    i am not using applets and downloading the software to clients machine is not required, the user has to click the "open software buttton" and it should get displayed in his system.
    anyhow can u give me some idea on using applets--- iam not good in applet coding.
    thanks & regards

  • How to open .exe files with Ibook G4 ??

    Hello, I have an ibook G4 since 2004 that I used only for photos & Music. Now I need to use it for work and cannot install anything since it refuses to run .exe files.
    Did someone had same issue ? How did you solve it ?? The fact is I'm trying to install adsl connection so cannot download anything before I've managed to run this file ;
    Thanks a lot for your help

    Hi again,
    Isn't there a set-up wizard within the web interface? I'm not familiar with the Speedtouch 585 but you should connect to it with an ethernet cable and connect the 585 to your phone/cable socket. In your browser address bar put: 192.168.1.254 and hit the 'Enter' key. This will get you to the web interface of the router. Using the manual that came with the router navigate to the relevant pages and enter the settings that were provided by your ISP. Save the settings. The router may or may not restart but should connect if you have entered the settings correctly.
    Once it is set up and connected and if your iBook has an Airport card you will be able to connect wirelessly with this router.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • Opening exe files on a Mac (OS X mountain lion)

    Hello,
    I need to open exe files on my Macbook pro currently on the OS X Mountain Lion. I can't figure out how to open them, I know there are ways but I cant seem to find one that works. I would prefer one that is COMPLETELY free. Please respond ASAP!
    Thanks!

    Well, if is a not to complex application that doesn't need a lot of resources, you may be lucky and be able to create a Mac version by encapsulating it in WINE with WineBottler: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ 
    Beware, Mac & Windows savvyness required. Not Plug & Play. But it IS free....

    How is this a Compressor question?
    .exe is a Windows only Executable, and can't be opened on a Mac, unless you have Windows installed.

  • How do I open .exe files on my mac?

    Ok thanks. So how do you install programs that you download from the internet? I've downloaded some programs and when I try to install them it doesn't work.
    First of all, you need to download things that are built to run on OS X - there is no way to install any Windows program in OS X.  You need windows to run Windows programs.
    Most downloadable programs for OS X will be distributed in a Disc Image file - *.dmg  You would double click one to open it.  Then, often it is as simple as drag the uncompressed folder to your Applications Folder.  Sometimes there may be an installer to run.  Once installed, you can eject the mounted dmg (drag it to the trash) and either keep is in case you ever need to reinstall, or delete it.

  • Opening .exe files

    Sorry if this question has been asked before!
    I'm using a MacBook and I'm having trouble opening files that are in .exe format. I do have MacLinkPlus but this program doesn't seem to be able to convert the file. Is there another way that I can open .exe files?
    Thanks!

    If there is a program you need to run and don't want to install a full Windows OS (via Parallels, Fusion or BootCamp) you may want to see if CrossOver Mac supports it.

  • I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1

    I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1 with no luck.  I am able to open docx files with the converters I have installed but not pptx files.

    The PPTX file type is primarily associated with 'Power Point' by Microsoft Corporation.
    This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents.
    It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.
    To open Office 2008 for Mac documents (format .xlsx, .docx, .pptx) in Office for Mac 2004, you must download and install the Open XML File Format Converter. This article describes how to obtain and install the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac.

    Instead of all that, and buying OfficeMac etc...
    Try to see if the FREE LibreOffice suite will open the file on your Mac.

  • Opening .exe files/Converting video format

    Is there a way to open .exe files on my MacBookPro? (There is no virtually pc emulator for the MbookP, yet). Also, what I am trying to do is convert music video files that I downloaded to .mp4 file format so I can watch them on my iPod....Unfortunately I have no clue what I am doing, and I don't know of any freeware. If you know how to do this-Post!

    You can open .exe files on intel mac by booting into windows XP but that would involve using bootcamp
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
    or virtualisation

    If music videos play in your browser you can capture them using snapzpro
