[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1471447, member: 71075"] Files are labelled "Unix Executables" if OS X has no idea what they are. In essence, it's OS X's way of saying "I have no idea what this thing is." Do the following: 1. Open up Terminal (/Applications/Utilities) 2. Type [COLOR="Red"]file[/COLOR], push space and them drag one of those unrecognized folders to the Terminal window. You should now see something that says "file /path/to/folder" (without the quotes of course). 3. Press enter. Some information will be printed to the Terminal window. Paste that information into a post here. [/QUOTE]
