Archive utility?

Greetings, I am trying to download paid for mp3 files from France in .zip file. I constantly receive a message
Titled Archive Utility
Unable to unarchive "DRH0005TA1320.zip" into "desktop". (Error 1 - operation not permitted.)
Does anyone know of a work around for this? I have never had this type of problem with .zip before. I suspect it might be a compatibility problem with the host site. Please assist if possible. Thanks.

Also possible the file is too large for the built-in unzipper (see a previous discussion about this problem)

  • What is the maximum file size allowed by Yosemite's Archive Utility?

    I've seen radically different answers to this question, ranging from ".zip files have a 4GB size limit" to "no limit other than the OS maximum file size". It's been very difficult to find current info on this.
    I have lots of large folders full of recording projects --- I'm talking up to 45GB or so --- and I've been experimenting with different methods of zipping them in preparation for cloud backup. Several applications have been willing to zip my enormous folders into archives, but then choke when unzipping them, telling me that the files cannot be unzipped or are corrupted. Using the "Compress" shortcut in the finder has so far yielded the best results, keeping all necessary resource forks, etc., and unzipping properly, even when other apps have insisted the files are corrupted. However, I'm afraid to continue with this procedure until I can get a straight answer on this issue: have I just been lucky so far? IS there an actual size limit?
    ...It only seems to work when I both zip and unzip with the Archive Utility. Other archiving apps will either render the included projects unreadable by my recording software when zipping (I suspect because of alteration or stripping of resource forks), or will refuse to read the giant .zip archives generated by Archive Utility.
    I've set up the Archive Utility to produce .zip files, as I feel these are the most likely to be recognized by a variety of cloud storage services.ny
    ...Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,
    The 1,048,576 rows & 16,384 columns is the
    workbook size limitation in Excel 2013. Thus, I recommend we try the Mr. Bernie's suggestions to import the large CSV file.
    1. Use VBA to read the file line by line and split/examine the import file in sections. If you have further question about the VBA, please post your question to the MSDN forum for Excel
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    2. Use Excel 2013 add-ins. Power Pivot and Power Query. For more detailed information, please see the below articles:

  • Pdf file causing archive utility to throw error

    I have a couple of pdf files which cannot be compressed without an error. Supposing that the nasty file is called foo.pdf.
    . In the Finder, right click on foo.pdf
    . Select Compress "foo.pdf"
    A file called foo.pdf.zip is created but an error pops up An error occurred while compressing a file. Strangely enough, the error window has a titlebar called "Copy".
    When looking in the Console, there is always an error from mdworker listed:
    2/24/2009 10:23:37 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/Metadata.framework /Versions/A/Support/mdworker[20524] zip importer countered an error (2) scanning "/Path/to/foo.pdf.zip"
    This same file also always errors out when trying to use -ditto- in a Terminal window. (See this minithread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1724912 )
    FWIW, attempting to open foo.pdf.zip causes the Archive Utility to throw the error
    Unable to unarchive "foo.pdf.zip" into "Wherever".
    Error 1 - Operation not permitted
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem?
    Bill

    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.

  • How do I bypass Archive Utility?

    I am trying to use Masterwriter on my MAC. It is a songwriting software that stores it's files in ZIP format. You open the program and the files are accessable (you never actually go directly to the file). When I DO go to "look" at the file where it is stored (not to open it), the file name is in black font but there is an exclamation point next to the file name. What does that mean? It can't mean that it "can't find the file" because when I open program and click on the songs, everything is there. I have the same program on my Dell laptop. The developer tells me that the files are in the same format (zip) and can be used in either their MAC version or their PC version. Here's where it gets reallky weird. I can create a song on the MAC and save it, export it onto a flashdrive, import it into the program on the Dell, and it works great. When I try it the OTHER way (Dell to MAC), I can "see" the files on the flashdrive, but the are in grey font (with exclamation point) and I cannot select them.
    What/where/how can I get the MAC to allow Masterwriter to import these ZIP files using MW software? Is the problem because MAC thinks it's supposed to only use Archive Utility for all ZIP files?  Help!

    Please post a screenshot that shows what you mean. Be careful not to include any private information.

  • 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?

  • Query related to task archival utility in OIM 11gR1

    Hi All,
    I am trying to to run task archival utility & i am following below link:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14308/archival_utilities.htm#CHDHJACC
    I have created separated tablespace for archival tables,
    I have successfully executed cr_taskarchival_ddl_table.sql , Create_TasksArch_Tables.sql & OIM_SP_TASKS_ARCHIVAL.sql scripts.
    Now i want to run OIM_TasksArch.sh, so this file should be executed where we have installed our OIM Database [Correct me if i am wrong]
    OIM_TasksArch.sh is present in <OIM_HOME>/server/db/oim/oracle/Utilities/TaskArchival/ ,but for some reason i am not able to find this file in our OIM Database Env.
    Can anyone please suggest from where OIM_TasksArch.sh needs to be executed ?
    Thanks,
    Rahul

    It needs to be executed in a location that has the database client installed so that it can use sqlplus to connect to the database and run the scripts.  I had to manipulate the scripts a little on my end for this work because how it was putting together the connect statement did not work.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Apple to resolve my archive utility issue

    Apple has to resolve my archive utility issue with the error message  Error 32: Broken Pipe.  Apple says I have to re-install the Yosemite 10.10.2 software.  I am totally against re-installing the software for the simple reason that Archive Utility is "untar" the files with tar.gz file.  I am really unable to download and install some of the software that comes with tar.gz extension. It is really frustrating.    
    Apple has opened the case but since they told me to re-install the software which I declined and advised them to close my case.  
    I want to talk with Apple Software Engineer team but Apple said they could not connect me with their Software Engineer Team.
    With regards,
    Vasu

    So, what do you expect us to do? We can't contact the Apple Software Engineering team, either.
    If you don't want to reinstall to get Archive Utility working again, use tar in the Terminal. Type man tar at the prompt for help on using it.

  • 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.

  • Archive Utility keeps jumping to front

    Wondering if there's a hidden pref to keep Archive Utility from displacing the current app when it automatically expands a download. This can be dangerous at times.

    I have been seeing it take a very long time. I don't know what's going on. But don't force quit. Wait 15-20 minutes and see if it finishes.

  • Parameters used by Archive Utility to compress files

    Many of you will be aware that built into OS X is the Archive Utility which can create and de-compress compressed archives of files. The utility works well. It uses the 'ZipInfo' standard for archives although, it can create archives in other formats. Apple also provides equivalent commands for use in the Terminal (e.g. Zip, UnZip and Ditto).
    I have been trying to find out what Zip parameters are used when using Archive Utility in the Finder. The Zip standard has, for example, a range between fast but large archives to slow but small archives. Does anyone know what parameters are used by Archive Utility ? Even better, is there a way to change those parameters ?
    Many thanks.
    Garry B

    There really isn't a way to change the specifics of what the Finder does unless it allows you to do so (via preferences or plist file). The Finder uses something like ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc --keepParent src_directory archive.zip
    There are many parameters for ditto and zip to allow for customization as needed.
