Help keeping .zip files

When I double-click on a zipped file, it unzips okay but something is deleting the .zip file. I recall a recent update to Apple's Archiver but I cannot find it to be able to check the Preferences. Somthing tells me this app or whatever is the problem child.
Where can I change the preference so it unzips but retains the zipped file.

>robably the easiest thing to do is to select a .zip archive, get info (Cmd-I), unlock if necessary, then under "Open with" select StuffIt Expander and click Change All. From then on, StuffIt Expander will be the default app to open all .zip archives.
Worked perfect. Thanks. The Apple OS X Finder Development Team did us no favor by forcing the unzipped file to trash without a user Preference file
Your tip is a good workaround until the design defect is corrected.

HELP QUICKLY 'ZIP FILES'

Hi!
I have been sent an important email with 4 pictures which are ZIP files but when I try and open them it says ' Unable to unarchive "Flat 1.zip"Saved Attachments". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)
How can i view ZIP files.

You might try TheUnarchiver - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate, but it sounds like there may be another issue with these files. Did you drag the archive to your Desktop and try unzipping?

Will using Myriad Pro help keep filled files small?

I am a newbie as far as LiveCycle goes and have a problem with a form I created growing to 10 times the intial size because I used our company standard font Century Gothic throughout the document. If I change all the fields to Myriad Pro (the default), will I run into the same problem? I have some users with Acrobat Pro X, but more who would just be using the latest version of Reader to fill and save their forms. Any/all guidance welcomed.

Fonts should have nothing to do with file size. But, try it and tell us if it still happens w/Myriad Pro.

Keeping paths when zipping files

Hi,
I have a problem :
I have to zip a directory that contains sub-directories, and mail this zip file.
I've managed to get all the files into one zip, but when I unzip it (winzip), all the paths are gone ...
any ideas that can help me to keep them?

if you use winzip, you can just highlight all the directories/files you want in it and right click (add to zip), and all the paths will be kept.

Wher should i keep classes12.zip file

Hi,
I am new to java and oracle.I want to connect to database to database using thin driver, but i am un able to connect.I am using j2sdk1.4.2_10 and oracle 8i.
I have downloaded classes12.zip but don't know where to keep .Can any one help me regarding this issue.
If possible tell me how many ways we can connect to oracle using java.
Ashok.

Ashok,
The Oracle database distribution should include the JDBC driver. It should be in directory:
ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib
Where "ORACLE_HOME" is an environment variable, so for a Windows platform it would be:
%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib
And for a UNIX/linux platform it would be:
$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib
In any case, it doesn't matter where the "classes12.zip" file is located, you just need to tell java where it is located. There are several ways to do this and the best way depends on the type of application you are using. If you are using a simple, stand-alone java class, then simply use the "-classpath" option of the java command, for example (using UNIX):
java -classpath $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.zip:. YourJavaClass(Note that I have assumed that "YourJavaClass" is in the current directory.)
Good Luck,
Avi.

I can't update Fiefox since update 10.o1 or 10.02. Every time I try to I get the same message, "7 - ZIP File is missing" I don't know how or where to correct this problem. I'd really appreciate any help that corrects this problem. Thanks sovery much,

Missing "7-Zip File"
Hello,
I haven't been able to update Firefox since 10.01 or 10.02 because every time I try I get the same message the "7-ZIP File" is missing. Then the update fails. I've submitted this problem to Mozilla Firefox and, got an immediate reply of " they are researching your problem".
Well, you can tell how long that has been. Is there anything I can do, or any where I can go to get the file I need?
Any constructive help would be very much appreciated! I'm not sure If I'll ever be able to find where this is located. But I do appreciate help just the same.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes installing work.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bob.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

How to extract the audio of a zip file? if it helps I'm trying to add this album zip to my library

how to extract the audio of a zip file? if it helps I'm trying to add this album zip to my library

Let's say you have a zipped audio collection (audio.zip) containing mp3 files. And you are at a Terminal prompt.
List the files in the zip archive
unzip -l audio.zip (that is ell)
Extract all mp3 audio files into a new home directory folder called mymusic
unzip -d ~/mymusic audio.zip \*.mp3
Variations of the above will depend the zip contents, and internal structure. If the zipped audio collection was gzipped, or someone used rar on it, then the extraction process will be different.

"zip" Terminal command no help fixing corrupt zip file; any other workarounds?

I downloaded a ".zip" file containing some files that I need to access.
When I double-click on it, I get the "Unable to unarchive 'xyz.zip' into '[foldername].' ( Error 1 - Operation not permitted )" message, which many people report when they try to open a corrupt zip file.
I also tried opening the file with "StuffIt Expander," "Archive Utility," and "The Unarchiver," as well as some specialty zip-compression programs, but none were successful.
I then installed the very useful "Archive.qlgenerator" plugin (http://homepage.mac.com/xdd/software/archive/) which allowed me to at least see inside the zip file using OSX's "QuickLook" feature. Lo and behold, all the files that were supposed to be in the zip file are indeed in there, as they should be. The problem is not that the zip file is empty, the problem is that it has become corrupted somehow.
So, what I need to do is either "fix" the corrupted zip file, or alternately find some way to extract the needed files using brute force.
Following tips given on various forums, I tried using OSX's "zip" command in terminal (http://homepage.mac.com/kelleherk/iblog/C1901548470/E731143104/index.html and http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=132146). I was able to use it properly, but unfortunately neither the "-F" nor the "-FF" commands were of any helping in "fixing" the zip file. The "-F" command incorrectly said that the zip file was empty and that there was nothing to fix; the stronger "-FF" command came back with
Could not find:
xzy.z01
Hit c      (change path to where this split file is)
    s      (skip this split)
    q      (abort archive - quit)
    e      (end this archive - no more splits)
    z      (look for .zip split - the last split)
or ENTER (try reading this split again):
...but none of the options produced any result. Pressing "z" gave me
Could not find or open
xyz.zip
...which means that even "-FF" could not get past whatever problem had corrupted the file.
So: is there any built-in way for Mac OSX to fix or extract the contents of a zip file corrupted like this?
Alternately, is there any third-party shareware or freeware that will do the trick?
(I don't want to have to spend big $$$ on a commercial program since all I need to do is open a single zip file. And there is no way to contact the zip file's original creator, so I can't download an uncorrupted version.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mark:
When I try your first suggestion in Terminal ("unzip -t /path/to/file"), I get this message:
Archive: /xyz.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /xyz.zip or
        /xyz.zip.zip, and cannot find /xyz.zip.ZIP, period.
When I try your second suggestion ("unzip -l /path/to/file"), I get the exact same error message. (And yes, I am fixing "/path/to/file" to be the correct path to the actual file).
And no, it is not really part of a multi-part archive. (Or at least it wasn't supposed to be; only one zip file is available, and there was only supposed to one.) Perhaps the zip was mis-encoded in the first place, so that the person who created it accidentally did something wrong which the unzip applications are interpreting as this file being part of a multi-part archive; but even so, all I have is this one file, so I need to fix it as is, or extract its contents as is, since I have no way to contact the original creator to do it right this time.

Hi! I have downloaded a ready-made website and I can't seem to open it. The "theme" install instructions are talking about a "zip" file which I cannot see. Would anyone know why I can't open it? PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!

Hi Everybody
I have downloaded three "ready-made" websites for me and it is supposed to have Wordpress in as well. I can see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them. It refers to a "zip" file which I don't see nor a "dmg", only a blue folder. Can anyone help me to figure out how to get this open and set up on my computer? I guess you can tell I'm new and very frustrated. Thank you!

It's not clear what you mean by 'see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them', although it seems possible that a zip file opened/unzipped to create them.
Perhaps if you include a screenshot, and/or a link to the site where you got these, and describe exactly what happens when you try to open a folder that won't open.

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.
Mark
