Unix executable file / .src

Hello,

The folder where I store files (.doc, .xls, .pdf, etc.) on my iPod (which I also use as an external hard drive) has been converted into a Unix executable file, and I can no longer open it from my Mac.
How did this happen? How can I recover my files?

Thank you for your valuable help

Configuration: Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3) / Chrome 27.0.1453.110

    Hello,

    try this:
    Select one of these "unix files", and do cmd I on it to read the information concerning it. Do you see a suffix attached to its name?
    If so, delete it.. and see what happens..

      Hello,

      Thank you for your response.
      These are .src extensions.
      I still can't open my folder by removing this extension.
      Is it possible that there was a problem if I disconnected the iPod without ejecting it?

      Hello,

      Yes. You should never remove a USB key without ejecting it first.
      The files or folders may be corrupted. The Mac does not recognize the folder and thinks it is dealing with a source file. (.src = source file, meaning a program file).

      You can try to repair the USB key with Disk Utility, but I have little hope...
