Can Windows PC users open my .zip files?

I have uploaded a folder of photos that have been compressed to a .zip.
When PC users download it are they likely to have any problems opening the .zip ?
If so, what application will they need?

They are JPEGs but the zip is smaller.
The reason I have zipped them is because my "digital vault" will not accept a normal folder.
It just opens it and I have to select all the photos which I don't want to do.

Can't open the Zipped file

Hi
I am making a zip file using GZIPOutputStream. But I am not able to open the zip file that is created using win zip.The size of the zipped file is 81 KB and the input file is 3,245 KB.I have closed all the streams still I am not able to figure out the problem.Any idea where I am going wrong ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here my code goes:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
     public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
     public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
          String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
          String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
          FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
          GZIPOutputStream zipOutputStream = new GZIPOutputStream(outputStream);
          FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
          byte[] temp = new byte[10000000];
          int counter = inputStream.read(temp,0,temp.length);
          zipOutputStream.write(temp,0,counter);
          inputStream.close();
          zipOutputStream.finish();
          zipOutputStream.close();
          return newFileName;
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my code to look like this:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
     public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
     public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
          String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
          String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
          FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
          ZipOutputStream zipOutputStream = new ZipOutputStream(outputStream);
          ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
          zipOutputStream.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
          zipOutputStream.finish();
          zipOutputStream.close();
          return newFileName;
Now I can atleast open the zip file. But the problem is the size of the file is 0 kb. Probably because, I am not populating the Zip entry. Can u pls let me know how do I do that.
Thanks

We all have the same issue with not being able to open "zip" or "txt" attachments, I just sent customer support an email asking when we will get some type of list showing the reported bugs and some type of change list when they issue updates. We need to know what changes have been made when they issue OS updates.

I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8. When downloading "some" files to my computer, these files become "zip files." When I open the zip file, it produces a document in some coding language. How can I open the file to produce a legible document?

I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8 and 4GB of expanded memory. When downloading "some" emailed documents, the downloaded file becomes a "zip file," which when opened looks like a coded message. How can I open the "zip file" so that it produces a legible document? Please, help!! thank you!!!

A "zip file" is a compressed file. "Zipping" in principle does not and cannot change the contents. So that if the contents before zipping are garbage, or unreadable on a Mac, when you expand the file you will get garbage or an unreadable file.
The first thing to verify therefore is whether the file, before it was zipped, was in a "Mac friendly" format. Can you do that?
You do not need an App to zip or unzip. These functions are built in on our Macs.
And yes, zipping and unzipping using the built in functionality, work fine in OS 10.6.8. And 10.7 and 10.8 and 10.9.

Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Acrobat 9 tries to open all .zip files

Acrobat 9 tries to open all zip files I attempt to download - not just zipped PDF's. Under folder management, the zip file type is not associated with Acrobat and is not showing with a PDF icon. The zip file will not open in any unzipping program, it just goes to Acrobat.
When I download any zip file I get a message like this:
Acrobat could not open "somefilename.zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
This happens with every zip file - how do I disassociate Acrobat from all zip file types?

You need to change the file type association in Windows Explorer of the Folders Control Panel.
The easiest way would to use Windows Explorer to find a file with the ".ZIP" file extension and then use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu. You can then select the "Open With..." option, make sure you check the option to set the 'always associate' (it is the only option) and then find WinZip, PKZip, RAR, or what ever program you use to open the "ZIP" type file.

Error when opening a zipped file transfred to the FTP via ABAP program

Hi All,
I have extracted the files from al11 and have zipped them and moved the zipped file to FTP site.
But when I open the zipped file in FTP site, it shows the file names, but they dont look like real files(looks as text)...Even when copied the zipped file to the local pc and tried opening it the result was same.
Note : For testing when the same zipped file is written to al11 and dowloaded from there using CG3y it works fine.
Also created a zipped folder manualy and copied it to the FTP site and tried opening it.....It opened but displayed there are no records in it (which is incorrect), But when copied the same file back to local PC it displayed correctly.
Please let me know hoe to resolve this issue.
Regards
Jithu

Adobe Reader XI won't launch, can't download or open existing PDF files.

Running Windows 7 and have had no trouble with PDF files until few weeks ago. Now Adobe Reader Xi won't execute and I can't download or open existing PDF files using Adobe. Interesting that I can open existing PDF files unsit PaintShop Pro X4 but not in Adobe. Have unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI several times with no change in problem.

You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
Help....!!!!!!

Hi PE
Yes, but nothing happened.
I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
However, it did not work.

Reader wont open a zip file

When i try to open a zip file with adobe
reader i get a message saying it is unable
to open the file either because it is not a
supported type or the file is corrupt

Most programs, including Adobe Reader, cannot open documents that are compressed into a ZIP file. You have to use a dedicated program (such as WinZip, or Windows) to extract the compressed file first, then open it with the target program.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.
