Can't Get Win Zip Or Win Rar To Work On New Intel imac.......

Hi guys,
As the title suggests really.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong during the installation process or whether both software programs just arn't compatible with the new mac's yet.
I am downloading the program then I just cant find a setup file to initiate the install. When I have installed stuff on the mac normally installation is automatic (i.e asks if you wan't to install).
Any advice would be great or if there is a more suitable zip program for the mac then I would loke to know.
Many Thanks
Nathan

Hi guys,
In response to the question I realise that windows software and files are not compatible with mac.
The software I was trying to install clearly stated mac os x 10.4 compatible but just didn't install, so perhaps it either wasn't actually os x 10 compatible or just maybe not intel.
Either way I now know that Win Rar and Win Zip are not actually OS X compatible apps, so in light of this which is the best one to install as there are a couple of suggestions here.
Many thanks for your quick responses, help and patience with me.
All the best, Nathan.

  • Where can I get a Mac CS2 or 3 that works on an Intel computer?

    Where can I get a Mac CS2 or 3 that works on an Intel computer? My CS2 on a G4 doesn't work.
    Björn

    @Eugene – CS2 should install on Macs with OSX up to version 10.6.8. An older OS component is required: "Rosetta". With OS X 10.7 and above the install is not possible, because "Rosetta" is no longer supported in 10.7 and above.

  • Can I transfer all my old os 9 fonts to my new intel imac? And if so, how?

    Thanks in advance to all who can and will answer this question.
    Needless to say I am a total newbie to OSX. Got a intel imac for Christmas (very lucky!!! Nice Santa!!)
    Like it states below, I have been using a G4 in os9.2, and I have all these lovely fonts (Adobe and Trutype, etc.) That I am hoping to somehow use. I would hate to think that i have to purchase all new openface versions.
    I have extensis fontDoctor 7.3, and rumor has it, it will convert fonts, is this true? And if so, how? And if not, does anyone know if there is an extention or software that will do this. Please Help!!!
    Me and my wallet thank you again.
    IMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   was running a older G4 in os9.2

    From the article, I would think that your Postscript fonts should be supported just fine;
    Mac OS X delivers industry-leading support for popular font formats:
    • PostScript Type 1 (with double-byte support). Adobe PostScript fonts launched the desktop publishing industry and are used today by publishers, corporations, and government agencies for high-quality output to laser printers, imagesetters, and platesetters. Each PostScript font requires two files, one for the screen and one for use by the printer's RIP (raster image processor). Mac OS X is the only operating system that provides native PostScript Type 1 font support.
    • OpenType. OpenType fonts (extension .otf) can contain 65,000 different glyphs, so type can be set in non-Roman languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. There are Macintosh- and Windows-specific OpenType formats; Mac OS X supports both.
    • TrueType. TrueType fonts (extension .ttf) are typically used in home and office environments. A single file contains both screen and printer font information. Mac OS X supports both Macintosh- and Windows-specific TrueType formats.
    • Multiple Master. This special type of PostScript font allows variation of one or more font parameters (such as weight) to create a large number of custom styles, also known as instances. Mac OS X can activate already created instances of Multiple Master fonts.
    In your case aren't the Bitmap files the screen fonts, so you can wysiwyg the raaster files?
    The classic environment still runs on the PowerPC Macs, many of which are also running Mac OS X 4.X. The article was addressed generally to all OS X users.
    I have heard of Sheep Shaver to run the Classic OS 9 in emulation, but I gave up OS 9 in late 2001, so I have never needed to explore this option. Some have posted that it didn't work so well.

  • How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account?

    How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account?  It insists on going to my Administrative account.

    Hi,
    We could click the Back button beside the account Picture, then the screen would list the account available on this PC:
    After that, we could choose the account we want to use.
    Another way is to enable this policy:
    Interactive logon: Do not display last user name
    If this policy is enabled, the full name of the last user to successfully log on is not displayed on the Secure Desktop, nor is the user’s logon tile displayed;
    If this policy is disabled, the full name of the last user to log on is displayed, and the user’s logon tile is displayed.
    Press Win +X, then open the Run box, type Gpedit.msc,  when opening the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following path:
    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
    On the right pane, find the above policy and then enable it.
    More information about that policy, please see:

  • How can I get my HP Officejet Pro 8100 to work. I had HP  on the phone for over two hours and thought it was fixed. Now it just will not print at all.

    How can I get my HP Officejet Pro 8100 to work.
    I'm using an  iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) running Yosemite. I spent hours on the phone with HP who did their best and thought they had solved the problem Now it has stopped printing completely. Just says 'idle' or' connecting to printer' but never does.

    Greetings paulr.paulr,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are unable to print from your Mac running Yosemite on your HP Officejet Pro 8100. I know that printer issues can be very frustrating, but I believe the information in the attached article will be able to assist you. I would suggest reading over and systematically working your way through the suggested troubleshooting steps located in the following article. If any issues arise as you work your way through the steps, or if you work your way completely to the end and reset the printing system and the issue continues, please let me know.

  • I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

    I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.  It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro.  When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device.  I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • How can I get iTunes on my I-TV to recognize my new email and password?

    How can I get iTuens on my Apple TV to recognize my new email and password? I changed it months ago and it works on my other devices but not apple tv. Thanks.

    Sign out of the old Apple ID and sign in with the new one.
    Hopefully the Apple ID was merely updated instead of a new one being created.

  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

    Hi julian KAYE!
    You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.

  • I damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.
