My Photos Say Unix Executable and won't work...

A few months ago I transfered photos from one computer to another with my flash drive. I hadn't checked the photos until now.
Instead of the photo icon there is a gray box that says "Unix Executable File"
What is this and what happened to the original photo? Is there a way to recover/convert the file without the original photos from my flash drive?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matt,
I've had this happen with a few files that have been sent to me by various people - I've always managed to get round it by adding the prefix to the file name - i.e. if your photos were saved as jpegs, then just add .jpg to the end of the file name. Mac should then recognise it for what it is and open OK.
Hope this helps.

  • How do I delete zibzoom toolbar from my computer. It says its experimental and won't work with 5.0.

    I joined the Zibzoom.com company they were encouraging everyone to download the zibzoom toolbar so I did but it don't look like it all installed properly. So I want to remove it and nothing I've trie has worked. Finally I looked it up under firefox add ons and it shows that it is experimental and says it won't work with firefox 5.0 it will work with 1.0 trough 4.0 this company should not have been trying to get people to signup for this stupid thing. Now I can't get it off.

    You should be able to find it in the Extensions menu if it's been installed. Click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Remove it from there.
    See also: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_Uninstall_Extensions
    But it does clearly state on the Add-ons site that it's not designed to work with Firefox 5.0.1 See screenshot.

  • When downloading a song it says its waiting and won't fully download

    When downloading a song on my iPhone is says its waiting and won't fully download.

    Are you on an ipod or an ipad? If so, then you may have to go onto your itunes on your computer and re-sync it to the device, that should fix the problem.
    If, by chance, you are on your computer when this happened, try doing the vice versa and still plug the device into your computer and transfer purchases from the device. That should work!
    Best Regards!

  • App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.

    App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.  My Mac has Iworks from a disc but I can't seem to update to the latest version of Number, Keynote or pages in the App store.  The app store identifies the applications as installed but doesn't update them since they were installed from Iworks disc.

    all the ICloud numbers spreadsheet pages are now gone.  How do I get them back?
    Do you mean you were storing the documents in iCloud and now you can't see them from Numbers? If so, you probably need to check to see that iCloud is configured to work with Numbers.
    Here in System Preferences > iCloud make sure 'Documents and Data' is checked:
    And, after clicking 'Options...', make sure that 'Numbers.app' is checked.
    You should be able to see the documents in iCloud when you go up to the title bar at the top of the screen and choose 'iCloud' in the 'Where:' dropdown:

  • HT1363 ipod making clicking noise and won't work

    Ipod making clicking noise and won't work. Display see apple store. We live in a rural area so one is not close!

    OK, I have the 30G w/video and it does that too. I've had it a year with no problems. My husband went on the treadmill with it a couple days ago and after a few songs it froze. I did the whole regime of toggling and pressing menu/select button, I put in on my Bose speaker/charger and it switched to very low battery warning. When I took it off to move to computer it said to connect to computer and use restore (in a few languages). I connected and it recognized it and I did restore and after a few minutes screen came up saying it could NOT restore. Then ipod was unrecognized and then ipod screen gave me the very sad little ipod picture with the support web site. At that point it began making the clicking nose - morris code does describe it but I was invisioning a little nano sprite in there with a chisel!!So, same as you, I go there and it's like a maze trying to find help!! Of course my warranty was up exactly 6 weeks ago!! I tried linking through all the stuff like finding a service provider in my area, contact the "knowledge base" etc., and I can't get anyone! Now what are we gonna do?

  • I want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

    If this does not work, get it serviced or visit your next Apple Store.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. I've been trying everything; opening ports, adjusting quicktime streaming preferences...everything discussed in other posts in this forum regarding error -8.
    I really hate iChat...I think it's unbeliveble that Apple claims to be so better that Windows, but I never had problems wits MSN video.
    But let's try to solve this irritating issue. What kind of messenging software do you have instaled/open when you try to use iChat?
    I have Skype installed. When I deinstalled it, everything was working fine (so I thought). Next day the same BS all over again.
    I could use skype to videochat, but I have an .mac account and I want to use iChat...the f&^%$*g .mac account is to expensive not to use...And do not forget that iChat AV quality is way better than Skype.
    I really hope Apple comes with a solution soon.
    Greets from an unhappy iChat user.

    Assuming you want Apple to look at iPhone without a charge a good way to
    start is to show you have tried the standard troubleshooting as I
    suggested.
    These are described in the user manual and even under warranty
    the genius bar will expect these to have been tried before they spend time

  • I have three user accounts on one computer. On only one account when I when I check Help - About fire fox only one user account says apply update and won't apply. The other two work fine.

    One of three user accounts on the same computer appears to not be updating to 8.0.1 correctly. One admin and one none admin user account says it is up-to-date. The other non-admin user account, under Help About Firefox says apply update, but won't.

    As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
    As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications.  There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
    Each user account is able to run the Office apps.  The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
    You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).
