Can't open zip disk on my iMac

I have an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I recently tried to open an old Iomage zip disk, but it wouldn't open. I got a message saying that I can't open the application using Zip Disks because the Classic environment is no longer supported. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get my iMac to open my zip disks so I can transfer the data on it to a flash drive?

Re: Classic Environment - Games for Macs and Ver 10.5
Classic is not supported using Leopard, Snow Leopard or Intel Macs. Some users do use Sheep Shaver, with varying degrees of success. Many games do not work properly in classic mode. They require the Mac to be booted in OS 9 (or below). Your best solution is to buy a used Mac capable of running OS 9.  Cheers, Tom

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?

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

Can't open .zip attachment in Adobe Reader 8.1.2

Dear all,
In Adobe Reader 8.1.2 I can't open zip files attached to pdf files any more. I followed some hints in the knowledge base but none of them solved my problem. The registry editing suggestions for rel. 7 doesn't apply to version 8.1.2. and setting the trust option didn't help as well.
In brief what are the steps in order to allow reader 8.1.2 to open zip attached to pdf files???
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestion.

> The registry editing suggestions for rel. 7 doesn't apply to version 8.1.2
You can use the suggestions for version 8.1.2. Search the registry for cDefaultLaunchAttachmentPerms.

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 not open Adbe Reader on a iMac, joined into a Open Deirectory server

Dear All,
I setted up a MAC OS X 10.6.2 server with Open Directory.
I created sevral netwrok account on the server
I have some iMac 10.6.2 and users log into the server and work with their remote file.
The user preferences /Library/Preferences are store on the server.
No home are on the iMacs (local).
This configuration cause me some problems and particularely with the last version of Adobe Reader
When I open first time Adobe Reader and I accept the licende it crach and ask me to send a report to adobe. But If I log me with a local account (admin), I can open it. only with a network account it freeze.
I think it is because it can not read or create the adobe reader preference file into the server. But the user has the permission to write into the remote home folder (o the server)
Do you have an idea why I can not open Adobe reader with a nwtork account?
Many thank for your advice

This is a known problem with no known solution. I believe it predates SL and existed with Leopard and perhaps earlier network-based accounts.

Can't open PS CS6 after updating iMac to 10.9.5

After I updated my iMac to 10.9.5, I can no longer open PS CS6. When I try to open it, i get a pop up asking me to subscribe to CC for $29.99 p/ month. Also, when the pop up comes up, Adobe Application Manager opens with the CC request. I've been using CS6 for two years and now I can't open it. I do NOT have a trial version, I have the entire CS6 suite and nothing else will open, either. I tried moving my preferences to the desktop but it still didn't work. Adobe has NO customer support for anything lower than CC. I was thinking about deleting and then reinstalling PS, but that seemed a little scary. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

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.

HT203180 I shot a video clip on my iPhone 5 and emailed it to my mom. She can't open the video on her iMac, her iPad3, or her iPhone5. What is going on?

I have the latest software update. Mom has the latest software updates. She cannot open this video on any of her Apple devices. She has iPad3, iPhone 5, Imac. I cannot think of any reason that she can't open them. My wife can open the video on her iPhone 5, without problem. I texted and emailed the video. Is there something in the settings? Thanks, in advance.

Can't open .nib files on Intel iMac with IB

I'm trying to edit .nib files for my lab (have had no trouble until now) and they won't open. I keep getting the "can't open" error.
This is my first time trying to edit an x86 based .nib file, is there something different, is there a way around this? I have permission to open them (even tried root).
Dave

Interface Builder .nibs aren't actually files but are packages. In the Finder, you can Control-click on them and choose "Show Package Contents" to view inside of them.
Inside of a .nib file you save from Interface Builder, you'll find the following files (which are actually files):
objects.nib (Pre-10.2 nib format)
keyedobjects.nib (10.2 and later nib format)
classes.nib
info.nib
The "objects.nib" and "keyedobjects.nib" files are the actual archived objects of your nib, while the "classes.nib" and "info.nib" are secondary files that allow you to open the .nib file in Interface Builder to edit it. Without the "classes.nib" and "info.nib" files inside the .nib, you won't be able to open the .nib in IB, yet the nib will still work properly for the application it's part of. Before releasing an application, some developers will remove the classes.nib and info.nib files from the .nibs in their apps to prevent end users (or their competitors) from being able to open and/or tamper with their nibs in Interface Builder.
Make sure all the parts are inside the nib files and see if they'll open. Otherwise, you might check the Console to see if anything is reported when you try to open the files.
Hope this helps.....

Can't open .zip, becomes .zip.cpgz

Can't get a .zip file to open. It becomes a .zip.cpgz, then try to open that and it becomes a .zip again.
Somewhere I read an app called Ditto would open a .cpgz file and was in Mac OSX but can't find it. Stuffit does not work, Spingy does not work. Also read that a .cpgz format was a Mac format. If it is why can't I open the file?

Can not open .pages file on new iMac Mavericks

Cannot open a .pages file on 2014 iMac with Mavericks. Pages v 5.2.2 says there is a newer version but I cannot upgrade Pages either. Thoughts?

Hi katmcg,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that situations that keep you from opening documents can be very frustrating. The new version of Pages that is being referred to is Pages 5.5 and is available with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
