Cannot open ZIP files???

Hello,
My new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.7 doesn't seem to recognize zip files and tries to open them with TextEdit. Of course it doesn't work. I am very surprised, I thought zip support was built into the OS. I looked for a utility app but apparently there is nothing in the Application folder. Do I really need to download Stuffit Expander? There should be another option.
Thanks for your help

I re-opened my old Mac, and it recognizes zip files as "zip archives" and proposes to open them with something called "archive utility" (it's a translation, I use French as a system language), which I cannot find on the hard drive but seems to work nonetheless. On the new Mac the same files are marked as text files. Where can I find this archive utility and install it? This is all very confusing.

Cannot open ZIP files in mail

Anyone else having trouble opening zip files in mail. It does not work on iPhone either - but that was not an issue since very rarely does one want to open a large document.
Any solutions out there ?

Zips and other archived/compressed files won't work as expected on an iPad since you can't just preview/view the contents directly from the attachment currently like you can with quicktime-compatible or other common media formats. Basically you would need to be able to save the zip file to the finder and extract it, and view the contents from there. But since the iPad doesn't have anything like a user-accessible Finder, it's tricky to implement.
There may be third-party apps that deal with this eventually (or maybe even something from the upcoming 4.0 software, who knows), but it would probably be easier to just have people send you attachments that aren't zipped up for now.

Recipient Cannot Open Zip File of photos

This issue was happening to me with Tiger. I have upgraded to SL, and now it continues to happen. I send a Windows user a zip file of photos. They are able to open the file, but when they try to extract/open the individual photos, a dialogue box appears that indicates that they are "Password Protected, please indicate the password in the box below".
I am doing nothing that I know of the make it password protected. Any ideas on how to solve this?

What do you mean by that? JPEG is a file type, and ZIP is a file type. Do you mean that you are sending people a single zip file containing a bunch of plain jpeg files? Or do you mean that you are taking a bunch of individual jpeg files, zipping them one at a time, then taking all the zipped jpeg files and putting them all inside one big zip file?

Cannot open zip file generated with java

Hello everybody !
I work on a web application ( servlet, JSP... ).
I generate a zip file containing only one file corresponding to a JSP page but when I try to open it thanks to Winzip 8.0, I have the following message :
Error : invalid compressed data to inflate.
The zipped file is not empty, does anybody know what is the problem, here is the source code of my servlet :
public void trt (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException
URL l_JspPage;
String temp;
ByteArrayOutputStream l_ByteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ZipOutputStream l_ZipOutputStream = new ZipOutputStream(l_ByteArrayOutputStream);
l_ZipOutputStream.setMethod(ZipOutputStream.DEFLATED);
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
ServletContext servletContext = getServletContext();
if ((temp=req.getParameter("url"))!=null)
try
l_JspPage = new URL(temp);
DataInputStream l_DataInputStream = new DataInputStream(l_JspPage.openStream());
int l_iBufferSize = l_DataInputStream.available();
byte l_byJspPageData[] = new byte[l_iBufferSize];
l_DataInputStream.read(l_byJspPageData, 0, l_iBufferSize);
l_ZipOutputStream.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("file.html"));
l_ZipOutputStream.write(l_byJspPageData,0,l_iBufferSize);
l_ZipOutputStream.closeEntry();
l_ZipOutputStream.finish();
String zip=l_ByteArrayOutputStream.toString();
res.setContentType("application/zip");
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=output.zip;");
out.println(zip);
out.flush();
Thanks for your help.

Your code is somewhat obscure, but it appears that you are writing a zip file to a byte array, converting the byte array to a string, and writing the string to "out" - whatever that is.
I'm not sure why you are going through all this, but in any case the string conversion is probably a wrong step. Zipping results in binary data, and string conversion will probably result in changes to the binary values.

"Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer. I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
Extraction Failed
Cannot Open Output File
And the process closes. It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
Any idea why? I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support?? Poor, poor customer service.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
If you haven't still got the Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop. If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
Download and install 7-ZIP. Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ). Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

How to download and open zip file

Download cannot be done

Hi ratan45,
Does your device support the file type? There are some zip tools in the Google play store that would be helpful with unzipping.
However if it cannot download please try this:
#[http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/vbMedia/Audio/Lossless_WAV_Compression/Sample_APE_File.asp] click on the sample zip file
# go to about:downloads and click on the file
# Select a app that can open zip files on your device (please find one on Google play if you do not have one)
Do you have an example url where this is not happening?

How to open zip files?

I am trying to open zip files that have been emailed to me. I click on the file and a message pops up so quickly that I cannot read it and then I cannot seem to find if or where the zip file has opened to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

If double clicking it doesn't work, drag the zip file icon onto the StuffitExpander.app icon.
 Cheers, Tom

I cannot open Pages files

After upgrading to Pages 5, I cannot open Pages files sent to me by other people. It does not matter whether they were created in Pages 08, or Pages 5; if they were created on another computer, I cannot open them. Any thoughts?
(I use a MacBook Air, OSX 10.9.2 and Pages 5.1)
Thanks!

The Pages 5 fiile format uses a complex zipped package that is not understood by anyone outside of the Apple employees responsible for it.
This creates problems when they are transfered by anything other than iCloud or Apple's server software.
Pages 5.1 is the particular culprit. Astonishingly the point release is incompatible with Pages 5 and 5.01 files. Something that does not bode well for the future as Apple very, very slowly tries to dig its way out of the hole it has made for its users with the New Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
The increasing number of Pages 5.1 users who are reporting they can not open Pages 5.1 files with Pages 5.1 is eliciting no visible response from Apple. Certainly no warning to its users to avoid the fatal consequences of using its software.
Since all Pages file formats are essentially incompatible and proprietary, with virtually every other system out there, it is actually an improvement using Pages '09 because it is a settled format and parsable to a certain degree where the Pages 5 file format is obviously not.
Pages '09 works, so why not use it where Pages 5 does not?
If the whole change is disturbing you, as it should, then it would be wise to seek an entirely different solution. We are recommending looking at LibreOffice [free] which is maturing nicely, is available on all leading paltforms and uses open, parseable formats with a degree of confidence totally absent for Pages.

Problem opening .zip files

I often have difficulty opening .zip files. I received one today. I know the content is images, it is 683MB, and when I click 'open with' the only opton is Photoshop CS5. However, I then get an error message saying Photoshop cannot open this type of file. I have stuffit expander, but that also results in an error message. I know sometimes archive utility (I think that's the name?) will open a zip file, but not in this case.
Is there a reliable app to that can be used? Any other suggestions?
JB

If you want to relocate the Archive Utility to its usual location it resides at,
Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices
When moving it you will need to authorise the move with your Admin password. After that, running Repair Permissions would be a worthwhile thing as well.
If don't wnat to move it that's OK too, as it works for you, but if you want to be fussy, that's where it lives.

Weblogic EAR deployment - "error in opening zip file"

Obviously, the WAR file cannot be opened by Weblogic, but why and how to solve it ... have no clue. We went through almost everything in Internet, regarding this issue, but we couldn't find a solution.
Every idea or suggestion is more than welcome because I'm running out of ideas :(

Did you perhaps do something like FTP the EAR file to the RedHat box in text mode or something? Can you check that the file size of the file on RedHat is the same as it was on Windows?

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file for

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
Yes, it ought to.
If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.

A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

There are a few things to try.
First, if this file came to you vial email attachment, it could have been corrupted. Ask her to zip the file and send it again. That sometimes helps.
I suppose there's a chance that the file is already zipped, so see if that's the case and unzip it if so.
If the file name doesn't end with .indd, add it and see if that helps.
If you are double-clicking, try File>Open from within InDesign.
Last (and I know this sounds like a joke, but I've seen it many times), sometimes people attach a Mac Alias or Windows Shortcut instead of the actual file. What is the file size? If it's really small, that might be the reason.
Also, no offense intended if some of this sounds like stuff you have already tried. I don't know what you know, so I'm just spit-balling.

Natively, iOS only handles zip files (I beleive). you may need to check the app store for an app that handles winrar

HP DESKJET INK ADVANT K209a-z, extraction fialed : error message "0 cannot open output file"

D/Sir,
I have extracted hp deskjet int advant k209a-z driver using 7zip.
I was getting the error "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File".
On extract with 7-zip, I get the message:
0 can not open output file "<folders>/Autorun.inf"
I am on business laptop with Windows XP but tried with Admininstrator login as well.
Please help me. How to extract it sucessfully?

That type of error message may be indicative of a bad file. Did you download it on the web? If so, try again, but do not use a download manager or program to do it, those can occasionally cause problems with compressed files.
It could be possible, also, that some sort of security program on your laptop is blocking the extraction process. If that is the case you should be able to find some error in the Windows event viewer through the control panel.
