How d I decompress .rar files?

I've tried unzipping various .rar files but I keep getting the error, "unable to archive" so and so file. So I transfer the file to a PC and unzip it with WinRar. I don't want to keep transferring these files to PC. How do I unzip these files on a Mac?

Oops. I meant RAR Expander. However you might want to check out both. I know Stuffit Expander can do it (which used to come installed on Macs but I don't think it does now) but I've always had much better luck with multiple RAR files using RAR Expander.

  • How to Open a rar file with downloaded software

    I was bothering this forum yesterday trying to find some way to get a file opened that I had downloaded. Today I discovered that my problem was that "rar" files need their own software to enable them to be opened....So I downloaded the software UnRarX...and it is now sitting on the bottom of my desktop...but I can not get the software into the Applications folder, and so I can not figure out how to use this little package of software to open my "rar" files...
    What do I have to do to open my files with this new software???
    Thanks..
    Miguel

    HI,
    The UnRarX application should be accessible from your Dock after installing the software. The application icon looks like this:
    "How to extract a rar archive?"
    1. Launch UnRarX.
    2. Drag rar archive into the UnRarX window.
    3. Extraction begins automatically.

    Hi,
    I did download this from the App Store and when I use The Unarchiver it takes a couple of minutes to convert and it comes out as a DVDRip and will not open. Then a window copens and suggest it may be found at the App Store and when I click OK it "Your Search has no Results."
    I would appreaciate any other advice.

  • Suggest me please how to fix currupt rar files?

    I´ve download a rar file and finally i got a message that my rar file is currupt...is there a tool to fix it? Can someone help me with this?

    First of all, you can try the build-in "Compact and Repair" command in Access to repair your corrupt database, you can get more detailed info at:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/compact-and-repair-a-database-HA010341740.aspx
    http://databases.about.com/od/tutorials/fl/How-To-Compact-and-Repair-an-Access-2013-Database.htm
    If the above method does not work, then you can try third-party Access data recovery tools, such as DataNumen Access Repair at:
    http://www.datanumen.com/access-repair/
    I have used the tool in the past and it helps recovering some valuable data for me. The tool has a free demo so that you can try before you buy.
    If you prefer to use a service instead of a product, then you can use Everything access data recovery service at:
    http://www.everythingaccess.com/
    I know Wayne in person and he will only charge you if you are satisfied with the recovery result.
    Good luck!

  • How to create SAP RAR file using NWDS 7.31: ResourceBundle issue

    Hello everybody,
    I successfully create SAP JCA Connector project for .java / .class files.
    When I try to use ResourceBundle in connector project, it isn't exported to JAR / RAR / EAR files.
    What should I do?
    The only builders are:
    * org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder
    * org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.builder
    * org.eclipse.wst.validation.validationbuilder
    When I try to export connector project to SAP RAR file, I can switch between binary-only or binary with sources, not any checkbox for *.properties.
    Thank you in advance for any point.

  • How can I extract .rar files that are dependent on the next in order to finish the extraction?

    Ex: Part 1 finishes, then asks for part 2, so on so forth!
    Trying to open something a colleague sent me, but is rather large. I have 5 .rar files. I cannot extract them seperatly or it errors/fails. Yet I cannot find a program that asks or searches for the next files in the extraction process. Tips? Programs that do? I know that WinRAR has what I need but they do not make a program for Mac, that I can get to work.
    P.s. please keep in mind i'm new to macs, my first one! and i really know nothing mac-specific, howver i know a fair bit about computers.

    It gave me the error when I ran the program, if I need to post a screenie I will. Also if unRarx does work, am I using it wrong? I've got all 5 .rar files together in one folder. Start unrarx, click browse, navigate to the first rar, click extract, then this error at the end:
    INSTRUCTIONS] + [SN] [CodeTempest]/********.dmg - CRC failed
    Total errors: 1
    ******** = name of program, kept private sorry.
    Thanks again.

  • How to unzip/open .rar file?

    Hello guys,
    I have just received a download I have purchased. (I have purchased audio files for film score editing, so the resulting files should be audio files).
    But the downloaded file I have received is 700 mb .rar file.
    When I double click it, it tries to open DivX converter, but I only had a trial version, which is now expired.
    Is there any other way of unzipping/opening this .rar file? Ot is DivX the only application?
    Thank you so much for your help.

    Hello, I am not positive but there may be a command line option to un-rar items. I use an App called Macpar deluxe
    http://www.xs4all.nl/~gp/Site/MacPAR_deLuxe.html
    From the menu bar of Macpar, choose process the unrar. It will then let you search for the file. If you have a .ro1, .ro2..... it will highlight the start rar.
    Cheers,
    Glynn

  • How can I decompress lzh file in Java?

    I got an lzh file, and i want to decompress it in my Java program.
    How can I do it?
    Thanks.

    I don't know if any software exists for this in Java. It is certainly not part of the JDK.
    The LZH format is described here: http://www.osirusoft.com/joejared/lzhformat.html
    If you want you could write your own LZH decompressor.

  • How can I extract .rar files?

    I have UnRARX but that doesnt work on the ones I need extracted. I had to use a windows computer to extract the files, but what program for mac will get the job done?

    Stuffit Deluxe was the archive program of choice since System 7 until about MacOS 10.3 - it's not free and not as important as it once was.
    The free Stuffit Expander still does great work for many types of archives. Stuffit Expander 13.0.3 -
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10151590
    You can put an alias of the program on your desktop or the Dock. Drag your file onto it and let it go...
    Their description:
    Easily expand and decode all the files you download from the Web or receive in your e-mail. Access StuffIt files, uncompress Zip archives created by WinZip and other zip utilities, decompress tar, gzip and bzip archives, and more. Just drag, drop, and you're done. From BinHex to Zip, StuffIt to MIME, Expander accesses more formats, in less time, with zero hassles.

  • Opening an .rar file and converting flac files

    I am not sure this belongs in this topic area but since iTunes is the ultimate destination of this file I posted here.
    I have a .rar file. It is a compressed file when unzipped will have FLAC audio files in the folder. I need to know how I unzip the .rar file and then how to convert the FLAC file to AIFF or ALAC for use in iTunes.

    OK, you have 2 jobs ahead of you.
    First you need to uncompress the RAR archive. Find a tool that will do this on the Mac. Although I have not personally used it, UnRARx would be a possibility.
    When it is unpacked, you will see a folder containing the FLAC files. FLAC is the number one format for lossless audio, but iTunes is unable to handle it. So, use a conversion tool such as Switch for the Mac, and convert the files to AIFF, ALAC, or AAC. Add the converted files to your iTunes library.
    Then unless you need them for some non-iTunes purpose, you can discard the RAR archive and the FLACs.
