Archive-utility (zip) doesn't work..?!

hi there,
after a re-installation of my system because of a hardware-problem with my harddisk, everytime i'm trying to unzip a zip-file i get a error-message about ArchiveUtility, saying 'fout 5 - Invoer-/uitvoerfout. (in Dutch) so my ArchiveUtility apparently doesn't work properly.
- Can i re-install this utility?
- or maybe fix the problem any other way?
thanx from Amsterdam

ZipIt should work.

Archive Utility .zips aren't always compatible

I am using the standard Mac OSX archive utility (ctrl-click and select Create Archive of "X") to zip a folder of files for upload to a website (where they are to be decompressed).
If I use Winzip in Windows on my PC... no problem.
If I use the archive utility in Mac OSX, my website spits back an error saying the first file is missing from the archive and it gives up. (The file is there if I decompress the zip file locally).
This is not the first time I've found problems with the Mac's .zip files. For example, PHPMyAdmin rejects the Mac's .zip files as being the wrong size.
Anyone know what's going on and a way around it.
I have yet to get a grasp of the command line, but would using gzip be a better idea? How do I gzip an entire folder? Anyone know a good free zip utility that will not produce this error?
Thanks very much for any advice/ideas in advance

Arggg!! I hate Stuffit!! Ever since System 8!
In any event, if PHPAdmin doesn't like your ZIP files, it certainly isn't going to take a Stuffit file.
On www.versiontracker.com there should be lots of free dropzip and droptar, dropgz utilities to do what you want.
You can also type "tar -zcvf <archive>.tar.gz <folder>" in the Terminal, where "<folder>" is the folder you want to archive and <archive> is the name of the archive you want to create.

FingerPrint Utility - OmniPass - Doesn't work with Internet Explorer 7

OmniPass website password saving/autologin for Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 doesn't work correctly (it seems microsoft has changed the way their forms work for username and password submission etc)
OmniPass loaded slow in the earlier version it actually took about 30seconds or so for the FingerPrint dialogue to popup at logon, once i upgraded to v3.50.43 it loads in 10 seconds now, however when i first bought my notebook it use to load immediately, now that i've installed programs it's slower (not many programs).
Now i have done full registry cleans, spyware and virus scans, full cleanups, defrags etc...
I have tried editing the registry key for the OmniPass service - all with out success. It still hasn't gotten any faster.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi
The fact is that the Internet Explorer 7 is not official on the market and Toshiba doesnt support any Beta versions. In this case if you use any test versions on your notebook so you can do it only at your own risk!
Im sure that if you use the IE6 and other applications from the Toshiba recovery CD, all should works properly.

You need to override the hashCode() method.

Gmail archiving in iOS doesn't work as expected

Hello,
In the IOS Mail app I can use archive to move my mails to an archiving folder so I can review them afterwards. This works for Outlook.com or exchange accounts but not for Gmail.
In mail advanced options I can set an archive mailbox, for example "Archive" instead of "All Mail".
But then whenever I archive an email it disappears from my inbox but it's not moved to the archive folder I selected ("Archive").
If I check the Gmail website I can see the "inbox label" is removed for that mail but the "[imap]\archive" label isn't added, forcing me to go to the All Mail folder to recover the mail. I understand that's the way archiving works in the Gmail website but having an option to choose an archiving folder in Mail and then not using it gets confusing.
Archiving in OSX Mail works as expected (archive button moves mail to a mailbox called [imap]\Archive).
Also, in iOS, when browsing mailboxes from the settings app the Archive icon is next to the archive mailbox but in the Mail app it's next to the "All Mail" mailbox. That seems like an inconsistent behavior to me.

When you archive email in Gmail, it gets moved out of the In Box. Gmail uses "All Mail" to archive mail, not a folder called "Archive". My experience is that the Mail app on iOS devices exactly mirrors the folder structure of my Gmail account. My interpretation of that setting was that you chose to move the mail to deleted or to whatever folder the mail service uses to archive its mail. And, "All Mail" is that folder for Gmail. I would find it terribly disconcerting if the Mail app on my phone created a folder that didn't exist in my Gmail account.
I haven't used the Mail application on my Mac in years because I hate it so I can't comment on that.

Tzupdater-1.3.3-2007k.zip doesn't worked

Hi.
I downloaded tzupdater-1.3.3-2007k.zip to set my JVM Venezuelan time zone correctly (GMT-4:30) and i ran "java -jar tzupdater.jar -u" on window command, but it keeps showing " America/Rio_Branco" when i use TimeZone.getDefault().getID(), and getting -240 (GMT-4:00) when i execute int CurrentOffSet = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Caracas").getRawOffset(); CurrentOffSet = CurrentOffSet / 60000.
What else do i need to do to get my correct time zone? I also executed java -jar tzupdater.jar -f to force update the tzdata version.
I know that using TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-4:30").getID())); my program works with the right time zone, but i want to fix it correctly so i won't need to set it manually en each program.
Thanks.

There's a known issue with the VET timezone due to recent windows registry updates for timezones.
See http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6650748
We're working on fixing it in future JDK updates.

Archive Utility's option "save in" doesn't work

Archive Utility's option "save in" doesn't work in Finder. Even I use its .prefPane and set it there…
I only want all my archives created with Finder are saved on the Desktop…
What's wrong with Mac OS X?

I think I found it. It's look like a bug in Mac OS X…
Look at my screenshot. There should be "archive-into" instead of "archive-info" (like in "dearchive-into")?

Performed an Archive and Install and now my Admin password doesn't work

I talked to CS this afternoon per an issue with iTunes and was instructed to perform an Archive and Install.
I just got done running both discs and the computer seems ready to go. When I click on my user name (I'm the admin) my password no longer works. We have two other users on the computer (neither have been set up with a password to access the accounts) but now the computer is asking for one.
I'm typing my password correctly.
Does the computer reset to a generic password?
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thank you!

Hi Kathleen,
Does the computer reset to a generic password?
No, it most likely means that there was a disk problem, you can generally prevent... well, let me give you my whole spiel since we're here...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
At this point it's not unlikely to undo the PW problem, but will prevent fiture problems.
If it still doesn't work, go back to Step 2 above & lok for Change Password in the Menu bar.
We have more if that still doesn't do it.

Unable to open zip files with Archive Utility or StuffIt

Hello,
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.3. I have been attempting to download and install the Eclipse Java IDE from both www.eclipse.org and from a Stanford course website. In the first case the file is offered as a tar.gz and in the second case it is a .zip. When I attempt to open either file using Archive Utility or StuffIt Expander I get a never ending pinwheel. I am forced to restart to get Finder working porperly again and quiet the fan down. My wife's computer, also running Mac OS X 10.7.3, can extract the files without a problem.

Archive Utility brings up error message when trying to unarchive protected zip file

Hey there,
I've been zipping images with password protection using different applications, some with a Lightroom Plug-In Zip-Exporter, some with a stand alone app such as "Archiver". Now when I try to unzip these images on OSX 10.6 the Archive Utility brings up an the error: "Unable to unarchive "Name of File" into "Desktop". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.) I'm logged in with an admin account. I tried this on a macbook pro and on an imac, both 10.6, same problem. Now when I try to unzip the file using third party such as Stuffit expander or Archiver, it unzips the files without a problem.
any idea what's wrong with the OSX Archive Utility?

Nothing's wrong with it except that it doesn't support encrypted .zip files. You'll just have to use third-party software, or a Terminal command, to unzip those.

Archive and Reinstall... but can't access... password doesn't work?????

I have a Mac Mini with 10.4.11 and had some difficulties, so I decided t archive and reinstall OS X from the disc (10.3). After an hour of installation, I restarted and it got to the password page, which I never regularly used. There were 2 sign ins and I couldn't get any passwords that I always use to sign in and there is nothing to click to say that I don't remember my password. All the screen does is shake it's head and then give me another try. Eventually, it does give me a hint about my usual password, but that doesn't work. What can I do to bypass and get into the system?

Archive Utility has stopped working

Hi Folks,
Any idea how to reinstall this program? It hass topped working - I double-click on a .zip,for example, and Archive Utility opens up - but just hangs in what appears to be a state of starting the decompression process. Force Quit is my only option. I'd like to get this working (and not replace it with something else). Is there a preference file or something that can be tossed? Can I reinstall it?
Thanks.

Something to try, if you are still being plagued by this ... open up the Activity Monitor and check the System Memory pie chart ... if there's no free memory remaining, click on either the Real Mem or Virtual Mem column headings, to sort it by memory use, and see if there's anything gobbnling up all your free memory.
In my case, it was the Dashboard, and I had to empty it of widgets to get it to stop grabbing memory "to infinity and beyond". I have no clue as to how or if that was connected to the Archive Utility problem, but I was unable to have a single active widget (or any kind) until I repaired permissions and restarted. Then I could add widgets, and the Archive Utility coincidentally began working again.
Interestingly enough, it was only in the de-compressing of files that my Archive Utility was bonkers. It could compress files all day long without trouble.
As I said, I have no clue as to what the interaction could be -- or even if there was one -- between the Dashboard, Archive Utility and the permission repairs, that lead to all of these things bing cleared up. But looking at the Activity monitor is an easy way to begin to track it down, or at least look for other things that have run off the rails ....

Help with util.zip up files... does not work

I am writing a program so my mum can zip up new photos she takes and then send them to me. The program creates a html file for the webpage plus a smaller version of her original photo and places them all in a 1 folder with a new name. Al this part works... I want to afterwards place my files in a zipped up folder that she can e-mail me with her normal client. How... I picked up this code on the net and have changed it to incoporate my parameters. The files which are created ..paths are (String in an String[]) I then send to my zipping method.
The zip file is created but does not work when I try to extract from it ??? I also know that the String [] works becuse I have made a loop to check its properties at each index.
what am I doing wrong?
This is a modified code I found on the internet but with no author??
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

            ZipOutputStream zos = new
                    ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\curDir.zip"));
            from,
            zipDir("c:\\batviapictures\\", zos);
            zos.close();
        } catch(Exception e) {

            int bytesIn = 0;
            //loop through dirList, and zip the files
            for(int i=0; i<dirList.length; i++) {
                File f = new File(zipDir, dirList);

String filePath = f.getPath();
zipDir(filePath, zos);
continue;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
ZipEntry anEntry = new ZipEntry(f.getPath());
zos.putNextEntry(anEntry);
while((bytesIn = fis.read(readBuffer)) != -1) {
zos.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesIn);
fis.close();
catch(Exception e) {

I make no guarantees that this will completely solve all your problems, but I just know these calls are needed but missing from your OP:
try {
    ZipOutputStream zos = new
                    ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\curDir.zip"));
                    from,
                    zipDir("c:\\batviapictures\\", zos);
    zos.flush(); // ADD THIS after all files have been written to the zos
    zos.close();
} catch(Exception e) {
    //handle exception
}And
while((bytesIn = fis.read(readBuffer)) != -1) {
    zos.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesIn);
zos.closeEntry(); // ADD THIS after each file is written to the zos
fis.close();

Disk Utility image disk doesn't work

Disk Utility doesn't help
Hi there!
I try to install the os x mavericks update on a Snow Leopard 10.6.4 Mac from the Apple page. A message told me there was an error on the disk so I tried to repair it with Disk Utility. It didn't work. It ask me to make an image copy, It doesn't work neither. I am not able to go back or forward from there.
There was a message coming up telling me "cannot allocate memory".
I wrongly supposed it was a external hard disk problem so I bought a 3TB hard disc to make an image disc copy but again it didn't work.
I try to use Disk Utility to repair or make an image copy of the Macintosh (running from my Mac or the Install DVD) but it cannot repair the hard drive or make a disk image. Depending on the options I choose messages like: "input/output error" or "cannot allocate memory".. keep coming up. I don't know what to do any longer.
Before going forward I want to save my all my data.
Can you help me please?

Step one is to erase and reformat the 3 TB HD you bought. Ensure that it's Mac OS Extended with the GUID option. Next, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to put a bootable backup/clone onto the ext HD. Ensure that you can boot the machine with it. Boot into the backup/clone, launch Disk Utility and repair the int HD. If successful, update it to 10.6.8. Boot with the int HD and update the clone. Once that's finished, try upgrading either it or the clone to Mavericks.
