Is there a way to find out what the exe is?

I just got my new macbook pro, and copied, uploaded some old cd's of mine.
problem is, some are videos some are photos and some are documents.
I managed to title a .jpg on some photos successfully, and they worked. Now I can view them and I saved them that way.
But the rest, man...(sigh) this is a part of cyber world that I am not used to.
I don't know weather to title stuff .gif, .sit, .doc...I mean really. Im shooting in the dark over here.
there are so many .whatever's- how in the heck can you know what to do with these files?
Is there a way to discern what type of file it is. Besides just a windows exe file that is obviously not recognized by mac?
thanks everyone.
-novice.

If the files were created on a Mac they should have their signature information, even without the filename extension.
If you have files that don't have any signature information you can try using the command line utility file:
file /path/to/some.file
It will look at the file and try to identify it's type. From there you should be able to discern what kind of document it is.

Is there any way to find out what the Ext Id is that is assigned to CRM records

Whilst there is a lot of confusion as to when and where you use this field and what is the unique record key for some, I have understood that however what I am wanting to find is excatly what is the external ID that was assigned to the CRM record when it was first imported. I can't find any report or other means for getting this info and without it I can't re-import record updates.
A method for resolving the issues with CRM updates would simply be if the CRM module provided the following
An export facility as in the Web Apps and Products to simply export the full record with all fields in the same order as required for import
The ability to attach to that export a slected extended CRM layout
That he export record also included as the first field the BC CRM ID (this is the one thing we know to be unique no matter what)
With the above and changes to the import to reference the CRM ID (for existing records) we would indeed be able to apply email address updates to existing records via batch import.
This seems to be a rather obviuous and simple solution unless I am overlooking something. At present the CRM export / import functions are a serious weakness for large database updates and not having the ability to also import bulk deletes is a major drawback on our ability to maintain and manage the CRM integrity. As it stands, if you have been hit by spammers and have hundreds or thousands of delinquent entries in yoru CRM then you have no choice but to leave them in place and if you used a form that by default subscribes them to your mail list - I gave up on that.
My last comment relates to the data pass that is done as part of the import - is it not possible to report on all records that will fail to be imported instead of one at a time? If you want to reduce the load on teh system having a single pass to list all errors and list this so you can read it before the error message fades before your eyes would not be an unreasoonable request. I loath facing imports for this very reason.
Please BC - when are you going to get around to correcting this major shortcoming in a critical aspect of the solutions we deliver.

Is there a way of finding out what has been accessed on my MacBook Pro whilst in the possession of an apple authorised service centre?

Hi Guys,
I'm a bit new to this discussion group thing although I've been using Macintosh computers for many years (showing my age).
I handed my MacBook Pro to be repaired at an authorised apple service centre. When I handed it in they said they needed to keep hold of it to run some diagnostics and requested my password. I've owned various models of mac for the the past 17 years and this is the first hardware problem I have encountered, hence I have never bothered to set up user accounts.
As I live in quite a remote part of Sweden I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web. Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
Thanks!
PS: I've already thought about the 'recently opened' menu and The machine in question is a MacBook Pro 17" (2011) running OS X 10.6.8 (need Rosetta).

I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
Have you lost your mind?
Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.

If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

Is there a way of finding out what lists in sharepoint are being looked up for document templates etc

Hi,
I am currently in the middle of setting up SharePoint sites and have come across many lists that have not been updated for a while. I am wondering is there a way of finding out what lists are being used and what lists aren't being used for example I would
like to find out if a list is being used for a look up.

I don't think there any such option available OOTB, however you can use PowerShell to get such information e.g.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://localhost
$f = $web.Lists["Contact"].Fields["Customer"]
$f.ListsFieldUsedIn()
$web.Dispose()

Is there any way to find out what brush is applied to a path?

I'm trying to write a script: select some paths, run the script, then each path that has a brush applied to it is changed to use a random brush whose name is sufficiently similar to its current brush. The application is pretty obvious - draw a bunch of lines in, say, 'ragged marker 1', then give it some extra liveliness by having five or six 'ragged marker' brushes that get randomly chosen.
The problem I'm running against is that as far as I can tell, Illustrator only lets Javascript set what brush an object is using with brush.applyTo (artItem), but I can't seem to find any way to find out what path a brush is currently using via JS.
Am I just not looking in the right place of the Javascript reference, or is this really a thing that only has a setter, with no corresponding getter?

Just like you said earlier

Amazing, I can't find out what app on my phone just ran 388mb of data xfer at 2:44am yesterday while I'm sound asleep yet the LE types can subpoena and search warrant anything I do online and with who and for how long. Verizon list who I receive phone calls from and make calls to and from where I receive messages and to whom/where I text but can't tell me squat about something that is eating up band width. I'm sure it's probably some app that is running in the background on my phone. I've just got to figure out what it is and kill it. I want to drop (cause I don't use it, it's slower than a dial up 1200bps modem)my data plans and save about $50 a month.

Is there a way to find out, whether the student or the full version is currently installed?

Hi everyone!
First of all: Merry Christmas!
A longer text with some background information is following. My question will be at the bottom.
My computer is a good boy and it didn't disappoint me for quite a while now.
I had once installed the student version (german) of CS3 extended on this one.
Then, after having removed the student version some time later when needed, I have re-installed the full version.
This time, however, it was in english and it wasn't the extended version either.
After the software has accepted my serial id, I was quite content. It felt much better in english and I was able to use photoshop to the fullest once again.
Today, I have gotten my hands on the upgrade version to CS5 (again in english and not extended, but that's all I need).
After the installation guide has told me, that there are no programmes installed which are compatible to the upgrade, I was confused.
I have realised that my current CS3 version was still the extended one, even though it was in english and it wasn't the student version either (at least, that's what I believe, because there were no "activate"/"deactivate" buttons in the help menu where it used to be in the german student version before).
So while doing an upgrade to CS5, I had to chose CS3 extended from the list and had to type in the old student's version serial number.
Nothing else worked, even though I've tried to chose the CS3 version in combination with the other serial number, which belong to the full version both.
Now to my question:
Is there a way to find out, whether the student or the full version is currently installed?
(Other than looking at the box of course, that would be quite trivial. I am worried if the installation guide hasn't removed all components thoroughly.)
Thanks in advance,
Happy holidays,
Jeff

Thanks for the reply!
That's what I thought as well. However, that wasn't the case. Whether it's the educational or the full version, both splash screens looked the same.
At least for the CS3 version.I know how I was quite confused about that in the past when I'd realised that.
The CS5 splash screen didn't say anything about a student version, but I was able to deactivate the application. I thought this was possible for the student version only.
I've tried using the adobe clean program like suggested, but that didn't work either. The installation guide of CS5 still didn't bother asking for an older version.
I.e.: It still used the educational serial number from before.
After reinstalling windows on my pc, the installation guide finally wanted to know about my CS3 again.
However, it told me, that the serial number of the full version in combination with CS3 is not valid. Just like it did before.
Maybe it's because the full version was made in the USA and the CS5 upgrade version was made in Austria - Ireland?
That would be really frustrating.

What is iOS 5 ?
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1521
And does my iPhone 4 as that?
Settings>>General>>About>>Version
(Used my iTouch as example)
And if it deos how can I see the apps that I've deleted ?
App Store>>Updates>>Purchased
Scroll through the list of apps that your purchased, and if you remember the apps that you delete, the search will be a lot easier.
If you don't have iOS 5, you can update your iPhone and since you have an iPhone 4, you can only go up to iOS 6.1.3

Hope all this helps.

The only other way would be through Apple, assuming you bought it at an Apple store or at least registered it. Stop by the store or call their support number.
