MS Word 2004 Macro viruses - how do I clean old files?

Hi,
We just got a new iMac and it's running Leopard. MS Office 2004 is installed and I transferred files from my old blueberry iMac about a week ago. Ever since, when I open a Word document from the old computer it asks if I would like to enable macros. If I disable, then the file opens as "read only." These are simple Word documents, though... I didn't put any macros in.
I suspect I have a macro virus on the files and now it's infiltrated my new computer. My university provides a copy of McAfee Virus Scan 8.5i but it won't launch.
What do I have to do to clean my new computer and these files? Once upon a time, during OS 10.3 or so, I had a similar problem but I ended up wiping the hard drive clean. I need these old files, though.
Thanks in advance.

You already know what you have to do...get antivirus software.

Have used Works08..Pages ver.3.0.3...How to open these old files in my new Pages5 app

You can't. You can install iWork 08 and update but it will only work for iWork documents. You need to have iWork 09 or Pages 09 to read Pages 08 documents.
Pages 5 can read Pages 09 documents but a lot of them will look messed up as Pages 5 doesn't have all the features that Pages 09 have.
My advise is use Pages/iWork 08 for you old documents. Pages 5 is only for those who moves/work on documents over iCloud.

HT2128 How do I recover old files that are labeled "Unix Executable File?"

Some files that were transfered from and older mac are labeled "Unix Executable File." How do I resd these files?

There is a terminal command called file which will give you a hint of what the file is.
/Appliactions/Utilities/Terminal
me ~$ file pki
pki: directory
me ~$ file pulse-cookie
pulse-cookie: data
type file space drag & drop the file onto the terminal, press return.

How do I open old files without application extensions on them?

I have lots of 1995 or so files written from a mac on 3.5 diskets most of which I have read onto disk.
But they have no extensions and I can't seem to open them.
If I had to guess I would say they are canvas, possibly powerpoint but using powerpoint 98and canvas 7 I can"t seem to open them.
I have a G3 powerbook. a G3 tower both running OS9, a powerPC macmini running OS10 and OS9 in emulation, a PC portable running System10 and another PC portable running XP.
What are my options short of seppuku?
I need to get these files to teach a course.
Thanks

When I use OS 9 and previous Mac systems I use CanOpener for problems such as you present. It is still available too.
http://www.abbottsys.com/co.html
Use CanOpener to get into just about any file.
Powerful Mac data recovery software. Our famous universal file opener lets you read any file -- and extract what you need including text, icons, PICS and more. It's perfect for browsing all types of files, including old files, foreign files and files your Mac can't open, and it's indispensable for recovering text from damaged files - a lifesaver!
Plus, CanOpener lets you view virus infected files without launching the virus. So you can safely check suspect files and recover text from them - a powerful way to avoid virus infections!
CanOpener has special text filters that let you...
*Extract Names, Phone Numbers, URLs, Email, Web and IP Addresses.
*Strip HTML Coding. Remove extra Carriage Returns and blank spaces from email and Web text.
*Extract important sentences such as questions or anything containing $'s and numbers.
*Rapidly find clean text in files that contain huge amounts of 'garbage'
CanOpener Extractor.
Now you are not limited to opening files individually. You can drag and drop any file, or a folder full of files, to do bulk extraction using any of the special text extraction filters! A fantastic time saver!

How do i open old files on my laptop

How do I open files from my old OS 9 operating system ( ie, iphotos ) on my newer OSX 10.5 laptop?

I'm kinda wondering about the same thing, here. I destroyed my old MacBook Pro, but the HD was ok and is in an Icy Box now.
I just can't believe my new MacBook Pro won't read the old HD info, such as the addressbook!
The old addressbook seems to be 4.1.2 and the new 5.0.3.
How do I get my contacts to the new laptop?

How can I set up itunes to maunally sync, we have had to buy a new pc, which wants to erase and save when we connect the nano, how can I keep old files on Nano?

Can anyone tell me how I can stop itunes syncing and erasing the data on the nano now we are on a new pc?

I think you only have two choices when you hook up an iPod to a computer. One is to sync to it, which will replace all of the content if it's a different computer from the one where the iPod content came from in the first place (your situation). The other is to not sync, which I think is for people who may want to use their iPods as storage disks, the way you might use a USB thumb drive these days. In that case, you wouldn't replace your content with what is in the iTunes of the new computer, but you also won't be able to put additional content on.
There is one new wrinkle with later versions of iTunes. You can transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iPod to a new computer, but it won't do the same for non iTunes Store purchases, like the CDs you burned. Those will have to be transferred to the new computer and synced back to the iPod. Since you have to do that anyway, you might as well just transfer all of your iTunes content from the old computer to the new one, and then take the time to sync all the content back onto the iPod. If you do it at night, you won't be troubled by the delay.
If you have content on the iPod that you no longer have (maybe your old computer crashed before you could back it up), there are some programs that claim to be able to transfer all content from iPod to computer. I've only seen them mentioned here on the forum, so searching here or on Google might be a start.

How to make my old file info panel from photoshop work in xmp

Help. Not a photoshop guy but rather a genealogist. Many years ago downloaded a custom file info panel for photoshop which I used to enter meta text about the family photos I scanned. Currently using adobe creative cloud but cant figure out how to use panel or see most of my metatext last few version. Below is information about the panel. All I really want to do is install my panel and get back to genealogy. I apologize but not sure I need to understand the basics of photoshop..

This is the authors description of the panel:
Genealogy Photo (Private Collection) Custom File Info Panel 1.0 for Photoshop. 11 FEB 2007
Developed by Ron Reiger [email protected]
Please contact me to suggest improvements.
1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
The Custom File Info Panel is used to capture metadata about a genealogy/family history photo that is privately held (that is, the photo is not in the possession of a library). The metadata property names on the File Info Panel are based on my interpretation of the recommended primary citation for a photograph (private possession) (annotated, with provenance) as described on page 95 of Elizabeth Shown Mill's "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" and on my interpretation of recommended primary citation for an Electronic File (Image from Private Files - Annotated), Mills, "Citation!", page 81. I added a few more property names for location and date the photo was taken and keywords (to ID people by number rather than by name), the name of the person who provided the description, a surety for their description, and an informal description. Each field is discussed below.
2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
Date Scanned: This is the date the photo was scanned. Date is populated by Photoshop and is not editable.
Provider: The owner of the photo as of the date it was scanned. A researcher in a future generations will know who had the photo at a particular point in time.
Provenance: Describe as best you can how the photo got from the person in the photo to the Provider.
Description Provided By: List the person who identified the people and location in the image.
Description Surety: (This is an open text field. You can use any surety rating system you want.) Describe or rate the quality of the Description of the image's people and location. Note any uncertainties regarding any particular people in the photo.
Complete Subject Description: List the full name of each individual in the image, in order. You may want to list the location and date of the image even though there are separate property names for that data.
Informal Subject Description: An optional non-genealogical description of the image, perhaps for using the photo outside of genealogy. Example Informal Subject Description: "Grandpa as a young man."
Media Description: Describe the paper photo you scanned. Dimensions, border, frame, damage, etc. Your ancestors will have an easier time finding the paper photo later if you describe it well!
Annotations: Copy any annotations on the front or back of the photo and frame. Transcribe any photographer embossing/imprint; this is a clue for dating/locating photos.
Special Editing/Alterations: Describe any restoration you performed on the digital image. Did you correct for the lateral reverse of a tintype or daguerreotype?
City/County: List the City/County where the image was taken.
State: List the State where the image was taken.
Country: List the County where the image was taken.
Photo Date: List the date the image was taken.
Keywords: This is the standard keyword entry. Commas or semicolons can be used to separate keywords. I type the TMG ID number of each person in the photo here so I can search for all photos of the person without typing their name.
3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
I have not created a working namespace URI or rdf ala http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for this panel. I have not created localization dictionary files for this panel. Data entered into the panel will appear in Adobe Bridge. As you can see below I re-used lots of pre-existing property names and dumped all my new property names into the photoshop namespace. I don't know if this approach has drawbacks.
Date Scanned:                xmp_path: 'CreateDate'   Pre-existing property name
Provider:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Credit'    Pre-existing property name
Provenance:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Provenance'
Description Provided By: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionProvidedBy' Pre-existing property name
Description Surety:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionSurety'
Complete Subject Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Description'   Pre-existing property name
Informal Subject Description: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Caption'   Pre-existing property name
Media Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'MediaDescription'
Annotations:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Annotations'
Special Editing/Alterations: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'SpecialEditing'
City/County:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'City'    Pre-existing property name
State:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'State'    Pre-existing property name
Country:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Country'   Pre-existing property name
Photo Date:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DateCreated'   Pre-existing property name
Keywords:               xmp_path: 'Keywords'   Pre-existing property name
4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
I have tested this panel with Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge CS2 only. It may not work on earlier versions. FWIW a malformed Custom File Info Panel will fail to load in File Info; it won't crash Photoshop.
The following was taken from "XMP Custom Panels," Adobe, Oct 2003.
Each time an Adobe application opens the File Info dialog, it scans all the files in these directories and appends them to the file list. If more than one of the description files has
the same panel name, the one found in the last file to be loaded is added, and others are ignored.
Changes to the contents of the directories do not require you to reload an application; changes are automatically reflected in the dialog the next time it is opened.
The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Creative Suite applications:
Mac OS X
{Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
{Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
Windows
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or 6.0:
Mac OS X
{Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
{Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
Windows
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\\Custom File Info Panels
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Custom File Info Panels
I actually do not understand how to write a panel but here is the actual panel:

How do I open old files in appleworks using OSX Lion?

I have some old spreadsheets in Appleworks. Some were converted to numbers but a few haven't been. When I attempt to open them in Lion, i get the message: "The document was created with an unsupported version of AppleWorks." It's too late to open in a later version of AppleWorks. Is there a translator available?

FYI another post from 2009 I found.
The iWork (no "s") applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files. The third-party application, EasyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents.
Interesting read.

How to remove the old files from the IDE?

Hi All
I'm an newbie to OAF.
I have created a simple page using OAF.
In the next time if I try to create a new workspace and Project and a new page then the old content(created previously) remains in the same package path and it is getting displayed in the new project also.
How can I remove the previously worked content from the new Project.
Thanks in Advance.

As my understanding, As soon As if you delete from files from project (just click on file and press cross button in system navigator)
it will not delete permanently from disk, it will delete from only project.
Check directory path for this.
Thanks

How to cleaning old files hidding?

How do I clear old files when the passwords are long forgotten?

Ditto

The idea of password-protecting documents is that they can only be opened by someone who has the password. If it was made easy to crack these passwords, the whole idea would be useless.
However, I am pretty sure that if you google that there are some 3rd-party software that may offer such services.

How do I access old files on Time Machine?

I am trying to go back far enough to get a data file that doesn't automatically get updated in Quicken. I apparently have a corrupted data file that make Quicken 2015 crash every time I try to open it. The problem started in October 2014 so I have tried to go back to early September using the same file name but have not had any luck despite replacing the file with the older file but same file name. do I need to assign a new file name to the older file in order for it to work? I have been assured that the Quicken software appears to be working and it is the latest version so they are stumped. I'm dead in the water and need any advice you can offer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You would normally open the folder where the file or item normally resides.
You would then launch Time Machine and use the arrows to go back in time and select the same File/items name and then press Restore to bring it "forward" to the current date.
You can also manually look in your Back Up Drive/Backups.backupdb/computer name and then the dated folders and then the "mirror' spot in the file system that the item normally resides.
Whilst this sounds like an easy way you may have to search lots of folders to find the item as an item is only saves when it is changed.
You should not need to change the File Name using Time Machine.
If you were thinking on manually bring it to the Desk top from inside the back Up files I would make a Copy and rename it. Then work on the copy.
In the Console App (Applications/Utilities) there may well be a Crash Log of the app which may give more clues.
I don't use Quicken but the Log may show some generic type issue or highlight something about the files it is trying to open.
It might pay to say what sort of data is in this particular file as people who use Quicken may be able to spot something.

How do I clean removed files from my library?

Hey!
When a .mp3 file is downloaded, when you update your library, it usually creates a copy of the file so when you remove them it won't be missing. That happened to me and now I deleted those files from the music folders and they still are in the library. what should I do?

Send your feedback to Apple. This issue has been discussed numerous times on this forum (do a search on Podcasts). What you are seeing are the ones that are in iTunes in the Cloud as well as your new ones. You can go to the My Podcasts tab for a less cluttered look, but for the nonce, the list view will show all of them:
