Decompression Failed Problem

so i have been trying to download a mod for my game WoW called Ct mod and i get decompression failed when i download it? does anyone know the cure for this problem?

Hi Jared
are there any instructions for downloading/using the file.?
anything on a website you can show us?
OK I think I find the files - you are trying to d/l CTMode1.46.zip for example, then you double-click the Zip file & get the message "decompression failed".
ctrl-click the file, choose 'Open With..." What is the default app for opening these zip files...... you should have either 'Stuffit Expander' or 'BOMArchiveHelper' set .
IF that is correct & the files still cannot be decompressed - please could you post a url where we can check the files to find out why.

What does "Decompression Failed" mean?

I downloaded an educational program and it says the decompression failed. What does that mean and does it mean I can't download the program successfully?

The application was probably fit into a smaller size package for faster downloading using a compression application such as Zip. There are many different compression schemes and yours had problems. Maybe it didn't know how to handle the file, or perhaps the file was corrupted during downloading. Try downloading the file again. You can also right click on a file's link to do the download and place it on your computer so you can do the decompressing separately by double clicking on it. If you still have problems then post the file extension here, the 3 letters after the dot at the end of the file name, e.g. .zip., .sit, etc.

Why do i get a decompression failed notice for downloading zip files

I'm trying to download my marks for my class and they were posted in a .zip file. however in the downloads box it's telling me that 'decompression failed' and when I try opening it it cannot be opened because it 'is still being downloaded'. I used to be able to open the files, but I don't know what I did.
I'm new to macs, so it's challenging for me to figure out what the exact problem is, and then to find the solution.
Thanks for your time!

Greetings,
This may be an issue with the specific Zip file you are trying to open (in which case contact your teacher to have them emailed to you separately).
Make your own Zip file by clicking on any document (like a picture) on the desktop and then go to File > Compress. Try opening the resulting Zip file and see if it works. If it works then whatever is going on is with that particular Zip file. Make sure you are giving the file long enough to download.

Download 'Decompression failed' notice..?

Hi
Im getting a 'decompression failed' notice when downloading .zip files....not had this problem before.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Download and Install the 10.5.8 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Go to ~/Library/Safari and move the Downloads.plist file to the Trash and relaunch Safari. If you still have problems with downloading files...
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

Decompression failed errors when Safari attempt to download .zip files

iMac
Safari - 2.0.4 (419.3)
Mac OS X 10.4.9
For some reason I can no longer successfully download any Apple Widgets or other software downloads with a .zip extension. Safari simply reports a 'Decompression failed' error message within the Downloads window.
The zip files appar on my Desktop but I cannot open them with either BomArchiveHelper or Stuffit 11.0.2
The only things I have recently done is to install MYOB which I believe comes with it's own Stuffit version as part of the application but I am not sure if this is related as I have also applied the latest software updates from the Apple site.

... but I am not sure if this is related as I have also applied the latest software updates from the Apple site.
That probably doesn't make any difference, since Stuffit Expander is not a part of Apple's software and updates.
You might try reinstalling Stuffit Expander in case any of its components were overwritten by MYOB. Finding Stuffit Expander's installer isn't the easiest thing to do from the front page of their site. It can be downloaded here:
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/download.html
It requires an email address to get the download link. Just use a junk address if that concerns you. But it does have to be a valid address so you can receive the link they'll send.

Trying to download photos from Dropbox onto computer, but each time it says Decompression Failed. Can anyone help?

I am trying to download photos from Dropbox onto my computer. Each I time I attempt this, it just says Decompression Failed often after 1 hour of downloading. Can anyone assist me? I am not hugely technical!

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

I can't unzip files any more. Says decompression failed.

I am downloading files from a backup site. Until 2 weeks ago, I had no issues. I pick the files I want and a zip file is created. Then I would click on it and it would open up. Now, when I click on it, I get the message decompression failed. why?

There are several products -- they say they are for the iphone or ipad. I am using a MacAir.
Also, do you you know why this changed? Worked absolutely great before and now this is a real pain.
Thanks for the help.

Mail: "connection failed", problem associated with software update

When I attempt to get mail, I frequently get a symbol on the side panel of an encircled triangle enclosing an exclamation point. If I click on the symbol, I get a message that says (condensed): “connection failed, check settings for your POP account, server error encountered, connection timed out on port 0, do you want to stay offline or go online.” If I click go online, the usual spinning circle appears and then sometimes I get my mail. Sometimes I have to repeat the process several times before I get mail. I am, of course, always online; the connection has never failed. This problem started some time ago after I updated Apple software. I called my ISP and they made a few changes in my mail preferences, but that didn't help. I used disc utility to repair disc permissions and that helped but (strangely enough) only for a few days. This problem was discussed several years ago in message #1724339 but nobody could solve it. Can anyone solve it now? Thanks. Robert Pollock

Hi Wolfgang,
check out the "Nokia 808 Belle FP1 bug: WLAN works, but not all ap..." thread. Looks like you are having the same issue, and there's quite some info on this issue in that thread. The issue must be related to Symbian Belle somehow, since Anna and S60v5 are reported to perform well under the same conditions.

Previous replies here that solved the "dll initialization routine failed" problem for others aren't working for me.

Hello everyone,
I place the DLL, LVLIB and all the VI files from a VXIPnP LabVIEW instrument driver folder-tree under the "instr.lib" folder under the LabVIEW 8.2 installation folder, like I've always done before with no issues.
But because this particular Windows XP lab-PC has a strong level of file-system lock-down, only the administrator is able to drop driver-function icons from that driver VI set into a LV 8.2 block diagram without "dll initialization routine failed" pop-ups, which is what always happens for all "domain users" who log on this system.
If I go to another XP PC (my laptop) with the same LV8.2 and driver-folder configuration under instr.lib, there is no problem with attaching to this driver DLL at all when building VI's with those driver functions. That system allows "everyone" permission to all file and folder write operations, all the way down the NI folder tree (scary, I know, but the same IT guy set it up that way, perhaps because this is a laptop).
I see there are two other threads in this forum giving possible solutions to this by setting the permissions on the \Program files\National Instruments\ folder (only) to allow all domain users write-permission on that folder (even though no files are apparently written to that folder). But this isn't working for me, or perhaps I'm doing it wrong. My IT guy will not allow me to open up all the permissions under the NI installation folder for domain users or everyone (like the laptop has), so I don't know if this would solve it, or if certain branches of the NI folder tree are the specific ones that need this done to them instead of others.
Does anyone out there have a solution for this? Is there something specific in this NI folder-tree that has to have specific permissions opened up in order to make this work?
I am burning way too many hours trying to solve this...
(I wonder if this would get worse once Vista is prevalent)

To whom it may concern: My alias is also my nickname, I've had it since I was a (very) skinny basketball-playing teen. OK, so I've got a 38 inch waist now, but my hometown friends haven't shaken that appellation for me. I trust that you will someday be OK with that alias, as I have been with that nickname.

No, just tried that, didn't fix it, thanks for the advice though. I though it might have been DEP (Data Execution Prevention) which was turned on for this machine. But it wasn't.
I did discover that some drivers do it, and some don't. It must have something to do with the way the DLL is linked into the LVLIB file.
Is there a white paper or a location in the help file that explains how the DLL shared libraries should ideally be arranged in the *.lib folders in order to work properly?

Formatting failed problem.

hi, i've done my first project on dvd studio. bit of a trail and error but i got there in the end. i just have one problem now. if i want to burn the project i get the message 'Formatting failed - One of the volumes on the media is still in use.' i tried everything i knew is possible, but still cant get over this message.
also, i've burned one dvd which worked before, but it could not be plaid on my dvd player or on a pc, but it worked on mac's. which settings do i have to use?
can imagine that this is basic stuff for you guys who are familiar with the software, but i would be glad for every help. thanks. michael.

Can you build the project without formatting?
What type of burner & media are you using?
