How do I open a pw protected zip file?

This question appears to be different from similar questions asked because I HAVE the password. I really don't want to download extra safe-cracker's-anonymous software to hack into it. The file just never gives me the option of entering it. I have the zip file, I double-click on it, it gives me an error message. I right-click on it but no options there either. How do I open it such that it gives me a chance to unlock it?
Appreciate the help. (and yeah, I have no idea if I'm in the right community - sorry about that if I'm in the wrong place)

The zip file format is not a nice, standardized format. You could have a weird zip file that is technically not bad, but isn't supported by the built-in software on Mac OS X. In some cases, when zip files won't open, I've had success opening them with The Unarchiver, which is available both in the App Store and outside it:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12
http://unarchiver.c3.cx
(I don't know if there's a difference in functionality between the two... there could be, but if there is, I am not aware of it.)
It's also possible the zip file is corrupted, and won't be openable by anything.

  • HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007.  Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files.  The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
    These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files.  The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again.  I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
    FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
    It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files.  I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

  • How to open projects within a zip file?

    Is there any way to use the open project feature to open projects within a zip file loaded onto a LMS?  I have several files loaded in a zip file and I would like to navigate to each one within the zip file itself.  The problem that I see is that it does not know where to look.  Within the zip file, there is a main menu file that is used to branch out to another project file and then the user will go back to the main file to navigate to another.  I know this seems complicated, but I am being asked to see if this is possible.

    A zipped SCORM package is always unzipped on the LMS server after upload.  So you need to look at the file and folder structure of the SCORM after it was unzipped to see how to navigate or link to other elements.
    However, let me just say that what you are trying to do will almost certainly cause you many headaches.  A multi-SCO SCORM package is meant to be comprised of several individual SCO modules that do not usually talk to each other because by definition in the SCORM standard they are supposed to be standalone and not require anything else to play.
    Additionally, a multi-SCO package uploaded to an LMS is intended to allow the LMS to control navigation to individual SCO modules via the TOC links that the LMS creates in its own SCORM player.  Once you start over riding these links and opening up individual SCOs without using the TOC links you run the risk of confusing the LMS as to which SCO is actually playing.  The SCORM API only wants to deal with one SCO at a time.

  • How create encrypted/password-protected zip file?

    Any idea if there's a way with the Java API to create an encrypted and password-protected ZIP file? I know how to create a zip file with Java, but I need encryption and password protection.

    Thanks for the link, but that's not a solution. It's 3 years old (and still not resolved) and I'm looking for a Java solution.

  • Password Protected Zip Files

    i have recieved a number of password protected zip files which the unzip utility in osx leopard will not open. (i have the correct password).
    i've downloaded a couple of smallish utilities from the download area but they don't seem to be able to accept a password either.
    would someone be kind enough to point me towards a download (hopefully on the apple site) which can accept a password to open a zip file.
    thanks to all.
    ps-in the interests of futility i did try my unrarx application on an off chance it would work. it didn't.

    Here's some you could try. The first two links are to zip utilities for OS X. I can't tell you if they'll do what you need, I just looked for zip programs that work in OS X.
    The third link is for the free Stuffit Expander. The last link is the results for "zip" at VersionTracker. You'll just have to try a bunch of them to find one that hopefully works.

  • 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.

  • Opened a bogus email *.zip file from amazon that put two files in my downloads folder OSX 10.8

    Hi
    Can anyone advise my next steps to take, I accidentally opened a bogus email *.zip file attachment from 'Amazon" It unzipped an put two files in my downloads folder one appeared to be a *.exe file. They were deleted immediately along with the email.
    Now I am terrified that there is something lurking on my system...trojan/ keylogger/ virus..
    I am no expert so can anyone give me help!
    My mac is 8 months old running OSX 10.8 with latest updates.
    Thanks Mick

    Thank you both, you have put my mind at rest.
    Normally I am red hot at intercepting bogus emails, not today it would appear!
    I actually was in the process of deleting it and double clicked the file by complete accident, and in a flash it had opened up and put the files in the folder, I spent the rest of the afternoon panicing and reading all forums blogs etc..
    Actually Thomas I found your blog and took some good tips from it, one of them was to switch java off immediately.
    Thanks again

  • How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?

    How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?
    I have a movie from iMovie vers. 2.0.1. I want to open it on our new Mac Mini which uses iMovie HD 5.0.2.
    Please tell me this is doable. Or can I get a copy of iMovie 2.0 to run it on my new Mac? I want to make copies of the movie by burning a dvd. Pls help.

    iMovie 2.0.1 ran in Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X. If I recall, it is necessary to boot your Mac into Mac OS 9 to run it. It won't run in Mac OS 9 Classic running inside Mac OS X. Your Mac cannot boot into Mac OS 9, so you probably can't run iMovie 2.0.1.
    You probably wouldn't want to anyway, for versions of iMovie that ran in Mac OS 9 used the OS 9 file name structure, which causes problems for projects converted to Mac OS X.
    The simplest solution is to simply import the project.mov file that's inside the iMovie 2 project folder to a new iMovie HD project. (Don't import the iMovie 2 project file, import its .mov file.) Because of the name problem, it's possible this won't work either, but it probably will.
    That will deliver the entire iMovie 2 project as a single clip to the iMovie HD project. The clips you had in iMovie 2 won't be editable, but everything will be there and play in the proper order.
