Archive Utility won't auto Quit anymore

Prior to updating my March 2009 Duo Core iMac to Yosemite, Archive Utility always Auto Quit immediately after expanding Zip archives. But now in Yosemite, Archive Utility expands the archive but then stays open (green icon remains in the Dock with black dot beneath). And sadly, I see nothing within Archive Utility's preferences to "Auto Quit." How do I make Archive Utility AUTO QUIT under OS X Yosemite?
Thanks.

Surely some of you experienced people here in this forum must know.
I look forward to your kind advice and insights.
Thank you.

Archive utility will not unzip .jars anymore?

Is anyone else having the problem of not being able to open .jars with archive utility anymore?
It certainly used to work, I'm quite sure of it, because I've always used Archive utility to open .jars and get access to the .classes. Any ideas on how to fix this? is this a bug or was a feature dropped without warning or am I just missing something?
I'm not a heavy user of java, but it is kind of irritating to find that something that my computer used to do in a simple intuitive way is no longer available, or if it is it's certainly not simple or intuitive! I've checked archive utility preferences and can't find anything there. I'm really not sure how to deal with this! I've tried dealing with it through terminal, but for some reason it's not quite working and I can't crack open the .jar to find out why haha!

Thanks! that app works great I just wish I knew what happened to Archive Utility. The thing I like best about OSX is that it comes with a great set of tools. I don't like having to go and get apps to do specific new jobs y'know?

The Archive Utility won't stop trying to unarchive

hi there,
i downloaded a zip drive yesterday and the unarchive utility won't stop. i pressed cancel, and the cancel button greyed out. i've gone to force quit and it doesn't do anything. i've tried to shut down the computer and it says the shut down was canceled by the archive utility. any suggestions?\
thank you!

try killing the process from Activity monitor.
if that doesn't help kill the loginwindow process that belongs to your user using Activity monitor. this will force an immediate user logout. if all else fails hold the power button to force a shutdown.

Printers won't "Auto Quit"

In Tiger, when I printed something, a print icon appeared in the Dock while the document was printing . . . but as soon as the print job was finished, the icon went away.
In Leopard, this isn't happening. When I print, the printer icon appears, but when the print job is finished, the icon stays in the Dock.
One helpful friend mentioned right-clicking on the icon and selecting "Auto Quit". This seemed like a great idea, but unfortunately, it hasn't worked. The Auto-Quit now has a check-mark next to it, but it still doesn't quit.
I have three completely different printers in two different locations (home and office) and they all exhibit the same problem.

I poked around and that was the preference file that remembers if you have the printer set to auto-quit or not. So, it would seem to not be related to the preference that's supposed to remember that setting.
We could take the preference file troubleshooting a step further. Since it did work correctly with the new user, it's pretty clear it's a preference file not a system-wide problem. You could drag your whole user's Preferences folder to the Desktop, log out and then log back in. A new Preferences folder will be created. Check to see if the printers are working correctly now. This will not affect the items inside your iTunes or iPhoto library nor your Safari bookmarks.
If the printers are behaving now, you could drag a few of your preference files into the new Preferences folder in the Library. Then you should log out and log back in to make sure everything continues to work. Chances are, for example, it's probably not the Front Row preference that was causing the problem, so put the com.apple.frontrow.plist file into the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder, log out and log back in. Or you could just recreate your preferences from the various applications or System Preferences. I would probably avoid the com.apple.dock.plist file though, that may be related. I would suggest you just re-add the various applications you want into the Dock.

JWS Won't Auto Launch on Windows

I just switched from my current web server to Apache2.0.45, and the .jnlp files on the website won't auto launch anymore when I click on them. Instead, it launches a dialog window asking whether I want to open/save the file. I have tried to configure "Folder Option" on extension ".jnlp", and I have tried unchecking the "Always ask me for this operation" box on the dailog box, nothing worked. I found out that if you clicked "save" the window pops up and save the file in a directory, it will auto launch that file(only that file) afterwards even if you delete that file from your local directory. Could anyone tell me why this is happening? Thanks.

Did you add the mime type to the new webserver?
AFAIK, apache doesn't have it.
the Web server must be configured to return the proper MIME type for the JNLP content -- and that MIME type must be
application/x-java-jnlp-file
(in the apache conf directory file mime.types)

Canon EOS Utility won't quit gracefully

I’m having real problems with Canon EOS Utility. I’ve updated to absolutely the latest version {2.8.1} and still it often (but not always) hangs around like a ghost after a session using Live View to control my Canon 7D from my MacBook Pro. In these circumstances, it won’t quit properly. It won’t force quit either. In fact the only way I can stop it running is to force shutdown the Mac. Most unsatisfactory.
Is anyone else having the same problem?

Hi mdantzker!
What you are describing is normal. When the camera powers off or goes to sleep, there is no longer any communication between the computer and the camera, so EOS Utility cannot establish a connection with the camera to be able to wake it up. If there is an issue with the camera going to sleep, I recommend that you disable the auto power off feature in the menu. Please follow these steps:

Archive Utility Quit Unexpectedly

Every time I try to unzip a file using Archive Utility, it says "Archive Utility Quit Unexpectedly". No, relaunching it does not do anything. I have restarted my computer to no prevail and several things I've tried on the internet do not work. Currently using a Macbook Pro, with OSX 10.9.3.

You need to update your OS X to v10.9.4
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click Software Update.
Restart your Mac.
Now, control click the folder you want to compress then click: "Compress (folder name"
To decompress, double click the folder.
OS X Mountain Lion: Compress and uncompress files and folders > Instructions work for v10.9 Mavericks as well.

Finder won't auto arrange by kind-

Hi,
Since some time my Finder won't auto arrange my files by kind anymore. If I select this option, it simply doesn't do anything. I can auto arrange by name, dates, size, anything except for by kind. THis wouldn't be so much of a problem, if it weren't the only option I actually use to auto arrange…
Been trying to find a solution, but I don't find anything on the internet, and I don't seem to be able to fix it myself either.
Anyone who has experienced the same problem and knows how to fix it? Or someone who doesn't have the problem and knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

OK, it just works here, so I'd try this after my investigations...
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Archive utility lost a file

Hello,
I asked the archive utility to un-tarbz2 a library, which was quite large (more than 160 Mb) but I only had about 90 Mb of free space.
After ending the utility it printed: "foo.folder no such file or directory".
Afterwards the 90 Mb of free space on the hard disk had disappeared, even after a reboot.
What can i do to free the space to which the files where unarchived? I do not care about recovering them.
Have a nice day.
PS: I now have about 180 Mb of free space on HD.

Can you find any of the files using spotlight? If so, drag them to the trash.
Whatever you do, empty the trash. Files aren't gone from your computer until you empty the trash.
Get some files off your computer *as soon as possible* or we'll be seeing you posting here in a day or two asking about what to do because your computer won't start. Seriously, as BDaqua observes having that little free space is asking for major file corruption to the extent that all files on your computer may become unrecoverable. It is a lot cheaper to spend $100 on an external drive right now than $100-$400 for the software and/or hardware that would take to recover your drive (if that could even be done). You should try to clear at least 6 GB if not 10 GB, and keep it that way.

Disk Utility Won't "Repair"

My powerbook has been running slow lately so I wanted to do a disk repair however Utility won't allow me to run the 'Repair' function. I can Verify and Repair disk permissions and also Verify the disk but the button for Repair disk isn't even active. My Hard Drive is archived if that information is pertinent.
Please let me know if you've had this problem before or know what I can do.

You can't repair the volume you've booted from, which is why that option is grayed out. What you'll need to do is insert the first OS X DVD that came with your system (or the first Tiger disk), and boot holding the C key down. This will boot from the DVD, and then you can choose disk utility from the menu bar, and repair the disk.
In addition, you may want to download OnyX or Yasu to run the disk maintenance routines, which can help with overall speed by cleaning up your hard drive. This also assumes there is at least 10% space free on your hard drive. OnyX can be found at http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html and Yasu can be found at http://jimmitchell.org/projects/yasu/ .

Printer icon stays in dock even with auto quit enabled

The printer icon remains in the dock when printing is finished, even with the auto quit option checked.
I am using an HP deskjet 5650. This behavior has only recently started. How do I make the icon go away automatically? I've checked and unchecked the option and have restarted - nothing seems to make a difference.

This problem has been bugging me since last year when I got my MacBook with Leopard pre-installed. I kept waiting and waiting for Apple to fix this "bug" with various updates but they never did. Finally, a Discussions member named pcmike provided the answer in another thread (which has since been archived, and thus I'm not replying in that thread).
pcmike's solution worked for me and is a lot easier than resetting the printing system and re-adding printers as has been suggested in this and other threads.
The solution is to not have the printer queue set to show completed print jobs. If the printer queue is set to show completed jobs when print jobs are finished, then the queue can't "auto quit" because the user would not see the list of those jobs. In other words, the printer queue stays open because it's "waiting" to show the user the list of completed jobs. Thus, it can't quit.
In my printer queue, I went to the Jobs menu and selected Hide Completed Jobs. Once I did this, the queue quit and the printer icon disappeared from the Dock just as I expected.
This solution seems obvious to me now, but it never occurred to me why the printer icon would not go away. I realize now that this wasn't a bug after all. Thanks, pcmike!

Cannot unzip .zip even with Archive Utility

Hi,
I have problem unzipping a .zip file. When I use the Archive Utility to unzip it, it yields a file with the same name with .zip.cpgz on its end. When I subsequently make another trial - to unzip this new file, it yields the very same file only with .zip.cpgz 2 in the end of its name. A repeated process (now with any of these files, either original, first .cpgz or second .cpgz 2) yields a file with appropriate .cpgz #. Repeating the process further seemed to me futile. I hope writing here would in the long run yield an unzipped original .zip file.
Many thanks for your help,
pwyll.

You probably won't see this, but did you ever zip a file during this time and then unzip it with another program and find data missing? The same thing happened to me where I zipped an assignment with archive utility, then when I tried to unzip it it would just make copy after copy. Once it was unzipped by my professior there was missing data. THen when I downloaded another program to unzip the original zipped file, that data was missing, too! I tried it again and zipping the file kep deleting part of my file!

Archive Utility and permissions

I was wondering if there was a way to instruct Archive Utility to use the default permissions when expanding a file.
Without a long-winded explanation...I have two users using the same iMac to download client files from various FTP sites. With one user on 1st shift and one user on 2nd, sometimes the downloading and expanding of files can overlap shifts. When one user logs out and the other logs in, one can not access some of the files from the other. Some of these are stand alone files (AI, PDF, etc.) and there are no permission problems with these (I fixed this using umask in a launchd-user.conf file in the /etc folder). Some files are .zip and .sit files. The archives' permissions are are OK until the files are expanded, then the resulting folder has different permissions than the .zip or .sit file.
Any ideas?
THANKS!

This is no problem. See this link. Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports a permissions issue with ARDAgent
Download 10.5.1 Update and install it again and it should get rid of it so you don't see them anymore.
