Tiger does not know what to do with some files

I have lots of old files that do not have extensions so Tiger does not know what to do with them, Get info displays the files as Unix Executable Files. Is there anything I can do to figure out what the files really are?

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, type in the following:
file
followed by a space, and then drag the items into it. The Terminal will then make an attempt to determine what format each file's content is.

Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

Not to point out the obvious, but battery life depends very much on what is running and how much the device is being used.
If the battery lasts longer on a day you make no phone calls, but lasts less the day you make 5 hour long calls, this is to be expected.
If however the iPhone has the same level of use on both days, with different power consumption, this would infer a background process (or App) is trying to do something (connecting to server or creating a back up etc).
I switched off all thrid party apps from being included in my iCloud backup, which saves a huge amount of space on the cloud and allows the back up to take barely a couple of minutes.
Battery life seems ok so far on my 64GB 4S (Bluetooth on, Wi-Fi on, Location Services on, Push notifications on, Screen set to just under half brightness with Auto Adjust on)

I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro. But I cannot insult it. I have not problem as on my iPhone or iPad. My work IT person does not know what is wrong.

I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro. But I cannot install it. I have no problem my work email on my iPhone or iPad. My work IT person does not know what is wrong. Why I try to set up the email I get the message that it cannot connect to this server.

Try going into System Prefereces then Mail, Cintacts & Calendars then click on the Microsoft Exchange link on the right. Type in your email address and password and allow it to set it up automatically.
Make sure your Mac is updated to the newest version of Mail.
If that still fails then I suggest you switch email clients. I don't care for the built in mail program. IMHO it is very buggy.

TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port.
Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Then try restoring the iPod again.

Welcome to the forum. I think that George123 has your problem and its solution well in hand. Follow his good advice and you will have solved this problem. One other thing though just for future reference. If you post your code, here, you are going to want someone to be able to read it easily. Please use code tags when posting next time and your code will be much easier on the eye. You can find out about them here:

Irony: Bridge doesn't know what to do with .pictclipping file (Mac)

Bridge 5.0.2.4 running under Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 does not know to which application to hand a ".pictclipping" file.
This type of file normally opens in the Finder, without launching any other application or utility of any kind.
However, Bridge doesn't even show a preview in The Content panel or in the Preview panel either. Double clicking on such a file within Bridge's Content panel results in Bridge launching and/or bringing to the front the TextEdit application showing a totally empty window showing the actual name of the file in its title bar but a completely blank window.
Needless to say, it's not possible to establish a file association between this kind of file and the Finder from within Bridge.
Just another example of the lack of attention and resources Adobe has shown toward its stepchild application, Bridge.
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.5 does not open such files through its Open menu item dialog either, even though it correctly detects them as a .PICT files.

The only way to see an image contained within a PictClipping in OSX 10.8.4 is in Apple's own Finder App. and it appears that you can't do anything with it once you have "found" it?! …
That's exactly as it is meant to be, Ann. An image that is lightning fast to create, lightning fast to view and utterly impossible to alter, manipulate or edit!
You can, however, copy its contents to your Clipboard after Command+A.
CameraAnn wrote:
Clicking on it, only opens it in an empty RTF window.
Double clicking on it in all Mac OS versions I know, from Mac OS 9.x and earlier up to and including Lion 10.7.5, immediately shows the image in the Finder itself in a stretchable, floating, Finder window.
Have no knowledge of Mountain Lion (which won't run on my Mac Pro1,1 Quad) but what you describe above is exactly what happens when you double click the image in Bridge's Content panel, and that's just plain wrong behavior. The blank window is not a Finder window in that case, but a TextEdit window.
CameraAnn wrote:
Images from other than MS Office progams can be drag-copied to the Desktop as JPEGs and MS Office images can always be Copied/Saved As to the location and format of your choice.
So I am not sure why anyone would need to make an Image PictClipping anyway?
Oh, I make pictClippings and textClippings all the time, every single day!
For example, I have a large collection of both pictClippings and textClippings containg killer tips by Photoshop luminaries like Bruce Fraser, Ann Shelbourne and Andrew Rodney, that I've created over the years—in a nanosecond each time—by simply highlighting portions of their Adobe forum posts and dragging the selection to the Desktop: instant, permanent reminders!
No application needed to open them or to copy their contents.
Another helpful use is to select text from emails giving me the registration or serial number of applications or plug-ins I buy online then save the clipping in a Reg_SerialNumbers folder for later.
CameraAnn wrote:
However, Bridge will show only the file icon for any image-containing Clipping…
Sure, but that's just the unacceptable, unnecessary tease I'm complaining about.
CameraAnn wrote:
…Double-Clicking on one will immediately open a small Finder .app window floating over the Bridge CC window…
You're wrong there, Ann; it's not a Finder window but a TextEdit window. Just look at your menu bar next time you invoke such a tease from within Bridge: the focus will have shifted to the TextEdit application. That's why the window will show text but not images.
Clippings are one of the GREAT features of the Mac OS that are missing in Windows, and one very important factor that attracted me to the Mac almost thirty years ago.
I am very, very surprised that you haven't discovered its usefulness after all these years, as you are one of the savviest Mac user experts I've ever run across.

Does anyone know what's wrong with my ipod?

Hi, I have a 3rd generation 20Gb ipod that's almost 3 yrs old. Recently the battery life became so bad it would play less than 1 song before dying from full charge, so I bought a new super-life battery from Maplins and replaced the battery. It was a very fiddly job, but their were 2 of us doing it and I don't think we did anything wrong during the process.
Since replacing the battery, my ipod has a great battery life and the first 2 times I used it, it was perfect. Then it started acting very bizarrely. If left unconnected for a few hours, it would restore itself to factory settings, wiping its hard drive. Then on connecting to the computer it would perform a very long-winded check (with an icon appearing on the screen like a CD being examined with a magnifying glass), before I could put the music on again. It did this every time I used it, which was annoying, but I could at least use it in short bursts.
Now however, it will not work at all. Every time I connect it to the computer it does its checking and then either the ipod, the computer, or both will crash. On restarting both, it does the same again. If I start the ipod in disk mode, it appears in itunes and everything, and I can add music, but it just wipes itself again when I put it back to normal ipod mode. I've tried the 5 Rs and all have failed (although my software update didn't work too well, I'm not sure if it actually did it 'coz the software update prog kept crashing).
Basically, can anyone shed any light on what this fault is and how to fix it? Is it a problem with the ipod or something I did to it while changing the battery?
Thanks!

A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

So...... does anybody know what went wrong with Leopard !!!!!

I know a lot of install went well ,but not mine!!!!!!!
I have a MacBook that I can't install leopard on, my MacBook is only year old.
I love my Mac ....it's the best laptop I have ever owned. I don't really know what to do. The disk is ok (it clears disk check every time), how could it be my hard ware it's all APPLE. I don't see any real official recognition from apple about this problem and I don't see how they missed all bugs. I was really eager to install 10.5 ,but now I wish the guys @ apple would have just held back a few more months. Please someone help!!!!

I purchased my Macbook about the same time you did. Last November 1, 2006 when the first Core 2 Duo Macbooks came out.
I had no problems installing Leopard and I just used the "Upgrade" option.
Here are the details on my Hard Drive:
Intel ICH7-M AHCI:
Vendor: Intel
Product: ICH7-M AHCI
Speed: 1.5 Gigabit
Description: AHCI Version 1.10 Supported
TOSHIBA MK8034GSX:
Capacity: 74.53 GB
Model: TOSHIBA MK8034GSX
Revision: AH303B
My hard drive was already formatted in the "GUID" format. You might want to check this just for GP using Disk Utility...
You might also "Verify" your HD for problems using Disk Utility... also Repair Permissions....
If you have already tried the above, then you will probably need to take it into an Apple repair station.
Good Luck

Adobe does not list what software comes with complete plan

All it says under the "complete" plan for $599 a year is Photoshop, Illustrator, and more..... I specifically need Photoshop for my new PC & After Effects and I can't get a complete list of what is included to save my life! Anyone "join" the complete CS package and can tell me what software is included?
Thanks!

Not sure why, but that page (and that phrase) seems to have been confusing several people lately.

Both the Verizon and Sprint iPhones, when the GSM side of the phones is unlocked, have been having issues with texting (SMS). If you search through here you will find a fairly large thread stating the problems with the Verizon model in Russia. I do not know if anyone ever found a solution. If voice and data are working on his iPhone then the GSM side is unlocked but he will probably have to work with his carrier to find a solution.

Does anyone know what is wrong with flash games?

Whenever I try to load a flash game on any website, it comes up fine. However, when I simply click on a button, it freezes both Firefox and the flash script. I just downloaded FF v3.6.10 and updated Adobe Flash player. It was fine before the 3.6.10 update.
Everything else seems to be fine though...

Safe mode did not help. In fact, it made Firefox freeze for longer than in normal mode.. I am also using the default theme..
When I run the Firefox safe mode, it does not come up with the safe mode dialog box like it says in the FAQ.
Edit: Actually, Java was the problem. To fix, go to start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore, and pick the date that you installed Java. That might help anyone who has this problem.

Youd don't have a class file. Compile it first then run it. If your compiler isnt making the .class file tell me and ill give you a link to a realy good java compiler.
