Can't archive/zip files

I'm trying to archive (or zip) files on my mom's Mac. It uses 10.2.8. When I control click a folder or file, the contextual menu doesn't give the option. Any help? Thanks.

Here's a freeware Zip app that works withj OS 10.2.

Permission to open archived, .zip files

What Application or utility allows a "user" to open an archived .zip file that they have made themselves. I can open an archived .zip file as the administrator but my user that has limitations cannot open one that they have made so I want to give them the "permission" to open the archived file.
Thank you, Linda

Hi Joe, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It's quite acceptable to start a new topic of your own, feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, as not many helpers look at Solved/Answered Topics for people needing help, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

Archive ZIP files to IXOS

Hi ,
Can the FM ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT be used to archive .zip files, to IXOS server ? If no, any other function module that can be used to archive the ZIP files?

yes it is true. You can only create a new archive with the added file(s) inside, there is nothing to happen an existing file to an existing zip file.
Good luck

Can't Open Zip files

Everytime it fails. I can't open zip files. Does anyone know why. I have my settings to allow all files when downloading something. When I go to download and it is complete it gives a setup exe. then I click on it and it does nothing.....
Plesae help...Starting to drive me nuts!

Hi Booher,
Zip files are cross platform. Doesn't matter if it's an a PC or a Mac. Either can open or create them. But .exe files are Windows only. An .exe is an application compiled for MS DOS or Windows, as are .com files. They won't work at all on a Mac without running them in a Windows environment such as Virtual PC.
The only exception is if the .exe is a self extracting archive created on a PC. That is, a .zip file converted to an .exe so if the person the compressed files are sent to doesn't have a way to open a .zip file, it will run as a program to do the same thing. These, OS X can open and extract as if it were still a .zip file.
You mention that one of the .zip files extracted its contents as a file named setup.exe. This will not work directly in the Mac OS in any way, as it is a Windows application/program.

Can't open zipped files

I can't open zipped files that have been sent to me. I have found the files I saved in Archive Utility and when I try to open them a dialogue box says the default app is BOMArchive Helper. If I click that something I cant read flashes on the screen but nothing opens. If I try to open with Word a dialogue asks what I want to open with giving options such as MS-DOS Text, RTF,HTML document etc. If I click on these a word document opens full of gooble de gook

Ah! Different situation. I just noticed that you're running Tiger and posted to the Snow Leopard forums. If you're running Tiger, then you might be right, but since I haven't used it for almost four years, all I can suggest is that you post to the appropriate forums: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=177

I can't open zip files.

I can't open zip files. Archive utility flashes and disappears. Archive utility does not seem to be in the utility folder. Tried repairing permissions and verifying disk.

Archive Utility is a System-level component; it doesn't live in the Utilities folder.
Wher did the .zip files come from? There may be a problem with the files themselves.
You can try using the Unarchiver, but I'd expect AU to handle them OK.
When you say it won't open them, are you sure it hasn't? It doesn't open a window with the contents usually - it simply puts the enclosed contents in the same location as the .zip file. Is there a folder or .dmg that looks like it may be related?

Can't download .zip files

When downloading from file sharing sites, I can't download .zip files. Downloading other compressed files such as .rar is automatic upon clicking on the file. How do I change the settings to include .zip files. Thanks

Below is a link I uploaded myself. It is a few random songs I zipped and uploaded to the file sharing service Hotfile. When I attempt to go to the link myself, safari will not open the page and it also will not auto download the file as it does with other compressed files such as .rar. If I compress the file in .rar format or simply upload an MP3 to Hotfile or Rapidshare, I can click on the link and it automatically downloads.

Archiving ZIP files in SAP

Hi all,
I have the following requirements :
1.Archive the ZIP file(containing a couple of files) into the IXOS content server, using a ABAP function call.
2.Attach the ZIPped file into a invoice document in SAP.
Any ideas on how to proceed ?

Hi Aravind,
of course you can create workstation applications in transaction DC30 for .rar or .zip files. Normally you can use any file format in this customizing and then you can use the workstation application to add these files. For displaying or editing these kind of files I would recommend you to use the parameter %AUTO% in DC30 at "Define workstation application in network".
Regarding the usage of .exe files I'm not sure if this really makes sense in a DMS system.
Best regards,
Christoph

Can I search zip files for a particular substring in the name and extract the file to a folder?

I need to search through lots of zip files, looking for files starting with a particular string. Then extract them to any folder. Can I do this in CVI?
thanks

thanks Wolfgang, but my level of experience is such that I could use a bit more detail. Do you mean that I might find a .dll and call one of its functions from CVI? So you know of nothing in CVI that I can use directly? I don't think that I would want to open the zip, extract all the files, search the folder where they were extracted to, copy the file if it has the target name substring, then rezip. Or, maybe there is a more direct solution.
Any thoughts?
thanks

Don't multipost. And find a NetBeans forum to ask your NetBeans question.

Outlook 2010 can't open zip files in public folders.

The temp folders are empty. This is a new install.

This is very odd. I have a new install of Win 7 with Outlook 2010 and I can't open a zip file attached to an email in a public folder. It is not isolated to a single zip file, machine or user either. I can open .pdf, xls, .txt and others OK.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Can't open Zip file

I've been emailed a zip file with the extension .docx. I can't open this. When I click on it to unzip it, it turns into another zip file with the extension .cpgz. I've Stuffit Deluxe 8.0 on my Powermac G5.

Hi.
There's also an XML File Format Converter from Microsoft (still Beta). It's available for download from Microsoft mactopia.
Good Luck.

Can I download zip files containing fonts to use on my blog?

I wish to use typekit fonts in my blog, however to do this, I need to be able to download them as zip files. Is this possible with typekit fonts?

Thanks for your interest in Typekit, nigellow. Typekit web fonts need to be added to your website with the JavaScript that we provide; there is not an option to download the font files from Typekit and upload them to your site.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but please let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

How can i un zip files

i have downloaded a data file in zip format. i want to unzip it

If you do not have an archive manager that can open ZIP archives like WinRAR or WinZIP then you should also be able to do that in Windows Explorer like you open a folder, either with a double-click or via the right-click context menu.

Can not archive FCP files?

Can anyone come up with a good reason why Final Cut Server won't archive a Final Cut Pro (FCP) project file?
We have over 600GB worth of these files that have all been ingested and analyzed by FCSvr. Therefore the data is now a part of the database and really the FCP files are theoretically not needed any longer.
So why are these files excluded from archival?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.
