Damaged Zip Files From Apple Site!

I downloaded the iPodtouch guided tour video from the apple site today. When I tried to unzip it with the default Archive Utility it says "Unable to unarchive." I then tried to unzip with Stuffit Expander and it said "An error occured attempting to expand the file . . . The archive may be damaged." The problem is, this happened a few weeks ago with a totally different file from the apple site. I also followed the steps from this forum with no luck:

Anybody have any ideas?
Here is what I did in Terminal:

Hi Robert Leffel;
In addition to the good advise given to you be a brody, I would like to add that you should boot from the install media and repair your system drive. It sounds like the lack of free space has caused file corruption. If you don't repair the system disk, the wild and wonderful strangeness will only continue.

How do I get a download zip file from firefox to my desktop

I download zip files from different web sites and they go to the download folder in firefox, but I can't access them to open,unzip, or work with them on my computer offline. How can I move them from the download folder in firefox to my computer desktop?

Hi,
In order to open ZIP files, you have to download an app to enable the opening of the ZIP. Here's one you can use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.winzip.android
Next, when you install that, open it and go to your Download directory. It should either be in sdcard0, sdcard, or sdcard1, then go to Download.
Once you find it, touch and hold the file, then click '''Unzip here''' and it will extract the files in the ZIP folder.
Let me know if this works!

Read a zip file from Application server.

Hi,
Is there a way to read a zip file from the applicatoin server to internal table in ABAP program? The operation system is running MS windows server. The zip file contains only 1 text file. I tried to use open dataset 'uncompress', and use read dataset, but read dataset gave me sy-subrc = 4. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi,
to convert xstring to text you can use this:
DATA unzipped_data TYPE xstring.
DATA text_data TYPE string.
DATA conv_x2c TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
conv_x2c = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( ).
conv_x2c->convert( EXPORTING input = unzipped_data IMPORTING data = text_data ).
moreover, if you want to split your text at "end of line" (CR LF in microsoft windows) into lines:
DATA text_lines TYPE TABLE OF string.
SPLIT text_data AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf INTO TABLE text_lines.

What type of file? From what site? What Apps have you downloaded for it?
Perhaps if you provide details of what you are doing we can provide more precise help.

iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

Missing folder structure in zip file from Theme Editor

Hi all gurus!
I have an interesting problem with this background: I want to change the customer brand image in the portal header and do som other modifications. For this reason I have made a copy of one of the standard portal themes, as I'm supposed to do, and I have downloaded that zip file from the portal.
When unzip this file i get the following files: its.zip, log.html, metadata.properties, portal.zip and upgrade.xml. As I have understood it that is the correct content. Now I'm supposed to unzip the file "portal.zip" and reach amongst other folders the one named "prtl". In this one there is a folder named "images" and under that one is "header" found and in THAT folder the change of picture is done.
Now for the problem: when I unzip "portal.zip" I just get the content of some property file, NO folders what so ever! If I try to unzip "its.zip" I can see the folder structure under that folder!
If I open the structure with Total Commander I can see the missing folders! But I can't do the copying of the image, the whole structre gets duplicated when I save! I thought the zip file was corrupt so I made another copy and downloaded it but with the same result!
Has anyone had the same problem???
Best regards
Benny Lange

Problem solved! By 7-zip. It was actually XP's integrated zip tool that just didn't show the underlaying structure. And Total Commander also did the work if used in the same way as 7-zip, but to edit the second level zip file directly did not work as TC opened that file in a temp directory instead of continuing at the level of the first zip file. That kind of editing directly in a file two zip levels down actually worked in TC 6.x but now I have 7.05 and perhaps things has changed.

Opening a zip file from Mail - what should happen?

I've been using a Mac for a little under a week so bear with me...!
I receive a zip file in Mail and I want to open it, so naturally I click on it. I get a "may contain an application" warning. I click "Open". A window briefly appears with an "Unarchiving" progress bar, then vanishes. And that's it!
Is this expected behaviour, or has something messed up here (most likely me!)? I would expect some sort of helper application to open showing the zip contents maybe?
Thanks!
Matt

Hi Matt,
Welcome to the discussions and to Macs!
Zip has un-zipped the attachment contents into the place where the zip file was kept. Often that's a clever thing for it to do, but in this case the location is a place Mail chose rather than you!
You might look in <home>/Library/Mail Downloads. If not, use Spotlight to search for the zip file by name. That directory will also hold the unzipped contents.
Next time: Drag the zip file from the email to your desktop, then double-click it to unzip. The contents will show right up on the desktop too.
Good luck,
John

Opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal

Hi all
I am facing a problem while opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal. It gives the error- "Cannot open file- It doesnt appear to be a valid archieve" for every file.
Is there any setting to be done in SAP Netweaver or is it the system limitation.
Please help...

hi pankaj
I have uploaded a .zip file in Enterprise Portal folder. When i click on the file, it opens with Winzip application. But then it gives the above mentioned error. I have tried another way also- I downloaded the file on computer drive and then tried to open it but same error .
I hope it will make the picture clear.

Compress/zip files from the command line in Windows 7?

In Windows 7 is there a native way to compress or zip files from the command line? I'd like to do it without installing any third-party utilities such as 7Zip.

I fully agree that Compact is not the answer. There are additional concerns with the Compact command. It enables disk compression which is a total no-no. Very bad! It makes your computer very slow and is quite difficult to undo. The only time anyone should
use this command is when they're removing disk compression because someone turned it on to save space. Turning this off has to be done by booting into the recovery console, if my memory serves me correctly, and it's a real nuisance. So
definitely no to the Compact command.
If you wanted to compress files before sending them to another drive, or over a network, or by email, then Compact wouldn't actually help at all because the files have to get uncompressed whenever they're accessed, especially before sending them anywhere.
When I say accessed, I mean that just looking at a file triggers the OS to decompress it in the background and present you with an uncompressed version of it then letting you change it and recompressing it again for storage every single time you access the
file, which is why your machine gets slower. If you have folders or files that have blue text instead of black, then you've probably already made this mistake.
I would also like to know if there is a built-in command for zipping files/directories, or, if there isn't such a thing built into Windows, then I would like to know if this is feature is accessible through Visual Studio, which would be just as good as having
a command-line program for those of us that do a bit of programming.
If anyone knows if MS provides such a feature, either by command-line or through an API, then I'd love to hear about it. Good luck to those of you that have disk compression turn on.

Hi,
To copy files from one site collection to another site collection, the simplest way is to open document library in windows explorer view.
Go to document library, click library tab, click open with explorer.
You can open the document library1 in explorer then copy the files which you want to paste to another site collection
document library2, then open the document library2 in explorer to paste the documents.
Besides, there are other method:

When Microsoft decided not to support Windows Media any more, they made Flip4Mac available for free. If you have not taken advantage of that free download, this might be a good time.
It may not completely solve the problem, but your Mac will play more with the free player. No need to pay for the Upgrades.
