Can Stuff It Expander be used to open .rar files?

I've got some .rar files on my computer. When I try to open them it asks me to tell it what application to use to open it. I thought the Stuff It Expander opens those, but I don't know how to find it in the Finder.
I don't have this problem with Zip files, it automatically uses the Stuff It Expander to open it.

Not the free version of Stuffit. You can use The Unarchiver or any of the numerous free utilities that can handle RAR archives - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

    I think you have downloaded .img file. If you want to install that program follow the given instruction.
    download open source magic disc viewer software.

  • I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

    I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
    I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems.  Is this just a glitch?  The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

    Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
    I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

  • How to define the application to use for opening each file type (pdf, jpg,...)

    I installed an external application, and this new application has been configured by defect that it will be used to open all files with extensions like jpg, pdf, etc...
    I want to revert this situation and define again the proper application I want to use for opening each file type. How can I do this in Lion?
    Thanks,
    Azaldier

    Pick a representative file.
    Get info. (Command-i)
    There you will see a place "Open with" where you can select the application for that file.
    Hit the "Change all..." button to do this for all files of this type.

  • Instead of running firefox.exe, computer asks me to "choose the program you want to use to open this file".

    When I click on either the firefox shortcut or firefox.exe in the Mozilla folder, instead of running, the computer asks me to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox.exe". The recommended program is Adobe Reader 9.1, which obviously doesn't help.
    I have uninstalled firefox and downloaded it again, but now I am trying to run Firefox Setup 4.0.exe, and it asks me again to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox setup 4.0.exe" Help?

    This is a registry problem with your .exe entry
    The below program worked for me on my vista machine.
    http://windowsxp.mvps.org/exefile.htm
    You can download an exe file from there that automatically sorts the issue or you can edit the registry manually.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.
    I don't do Windows.

  • When i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file.

    when i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file. i select firefox to open firefox, and it opens to - Index of file:///C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/- instead of my home page. this has been going on for months. today i updated my kaspersky intrnet security 2011 and since then fire fox will only open in firefox safe, even if i shut down kaspersky. IE opens with no problems.
    thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Open .rar file in nokia 5800 ??????????????

     Hi there, I have one problem with my nokia 5800. When i am trying to install .rar file in my mobile, it says the phone is not  compatible with this file. So that why i am not able to install any theme in my mobile. So someone pls help me.

    petrib, you obviously haven't downloaded many themes in recent years.
    Most popular and quality thememakers (even one of the most well known, pizero) out there now distribute themes in ZIPs or RARs because quite often there is more than one version of the theme (changed icons and default icons). The zip/rar keeps the versions together when other sites link to the themes.
    Personally I open the zip/rar on a PC then send the required sis/sisx files to the phone using bluetooth.
    There is one application that allows you to open rar files on the phone but it requires signing and I am not sure if it can be open signed or not.

  • Opening .rar files

    I tried opening a .rar file with no luck. What program should I get to open these zipped files. I want something free. Or maybe there is something on my iMac that I'm not aware of.
    Regards, Pat

    There's a freebie here I've used. Has worked for my use so far (for the few times I've needed to open a .rar file). rar is rarely used on the Mac, so there's little support out there for it.
    Stuffit also opens RAR files. The item linked to above is the only way to create RAR archives on the Mac. That is, from the Terminal as a command line only application. There has been no one yet that has written a RAR utility to create such files from the GUI that I've been able to find.

    How is this a Compressor question?
    .exe is a Windows only Executable, and can't be opened on a Mac, unless you have Windows installed.
