To make a zip file, select your file in the finder and then File > Create Archive.
If you start Mac Help, and type "zip" into the search field, you'll find out more.

  • Zip and Unzip files in PlayBook

    Hello all,
    Just a heads up, File Browser for PlayBook will shortly be getting an update that will allow the users to zip and unzip files. Network browsing is planned for the update after this one (free upgrade ofcourse). 
    Here is a link to the app: File Browser
    My apps: Offline Viewer and FlashLight

    that'd be great, I hope that the wait is worthy!

  • Zipping  and Unzipping Directories and files both - URGENT PLEASE

    I believe (although I don't want to put words in his mouth) that Madan has run across a similar problem that I am trying to solve.
    For instance if I have the following files:
    c:\pic1.gif
    c:\pic2.gif
    c:\pic3.gifand I zip them in to a file called: pics.zip the will unzip just fine.
    However, if I have them in a directory:
    c:\pics\pic1.gif
    c:\pics\pic2.gif
    c:\pics\pic3.gifA listing of the zip files (all using java of-course) will show the files and dirs correctly:
    \pics\pic1.gif
      \pics\pic2.gif
      \pics\pic3.gifbut will give the following error if you try to un-zip them:
    "The system cannot find the path specified"The ZipEntry class has an 'isDirectory()' method, but it only returns true in the case of an EMPTY directory. If , as in my example, there is an actual file at the end of the entry, it returns false.
    So, at least in my case, I would be looking for advice on how to expand files that reside in directories within the zip file.
    Thank You for any help you can provide

    A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    How is this a Compressor question?
    .exe is a Windows only Executable, and can't be opened on a Mac, unless you have Windows installed.

  • Zip 7 says there is no default email program. How do I make gmail my default email program so i can zip and mail files using zip 7.

    Can't use zip 7 to zip and send files. Keep getting error message
    There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install a program or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel. There is no mail program in the default programs control panel. There's no file to associate with it.
    I'm getting very frustrated. I have school files that need to be emailed and I can't figure this zip7 out
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi CB01,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that you need to set up a default mail program to mail zip 7 files.
    In the Control Panel of your operating system there are file extensions that you can set a default program to use for mailing.

  • How to Zip a Large File into Several Mini Zip Files?

    Hi Everyone,
    I've got a few camera video clips (about 100MB in size each) that I would like to send through e-mail.
    I've got to split them into smaller pieces, but how do I get this done?
    I don't want to use third party applications (if possible)
    I've Googled and found a few suggestions but I can't seem to get anything done.
    I tried the Terminal approach, but the command "zip" does not exist.
    man zip does not exist...
    If I do a Create Archive - it will result in a single zip file, but I need to split it to a few segments, plus I'm trying to send these to Windows users.
    Please help, and thanks in advance...

    Hi Sagasse buddy, thanks for your reply.
    Found something interesting as I was browsing VersionTracker.
    Zip Tools 1.1 at http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15462
    +Product Description:+
    +Installs zip 2.32 and unzip 5.52 files.+
    +I noticed some time ago that there are a lot of machines out there without a copy of the zip and unzip binaries that Apple installs as part of their Developer Tools. As these tools are very useful, and several people, including myself, have written applications or scripts that depend at least in part on this binaries, I've built an installer.+
    +Note, I didn't make the binaries, I'm just redistributing them because they can be hard to find and install if you're not "in the know".+
    +These binaries are meant to be used from the Terminal and include no GUI, let alone an Aqua one. For your convenience, I have included a drag-and-drop AppleScript that will allow you to use the tools without going to the Terminal.+
    Maybe I do not have those binaries in my machine...
    I'll try out your suggestion as well as this Zip Tools 1.1 thingy.

  • How do i back up files from mac to external harddrive

    how do I back up files from mac to external harddrive not using time machine?

    First format the external as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Connect via Firewire.
    If it is just a few files or folders you want to back up you can just drag and drop. Or you can use SyncTwoFolders to keep the backups up to date.
    If you want to back up your entire start-up disk use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which can make a bootable clone of your entire start-up drive.
    You can Google for the download sites of these applications, or search here:
