Machacha, rar expander, unrarX all fail to work?

Hi-
I got a new hard drive 2 weeks ago and a OS rienstall by Apple, but I cannot seem to do anything with rar files. I cannot unrar a single file or combine parts of rar files.
Machacha, rar expander, unrarX all fail to work?
Machacha- I've downloaded different versions to see what will work, and none work. I get a window showing that the rar files are being converted, then at the end, an icon with zero mb's. I even get a window asking for a password, even if there's no password, but I cannot enter anything at all in the space for the password.
Every single rar expander app, free of course, I could find on the web, I tried and failed with.
The downloading seems OK, I deleted speed download2 in case it was the problem.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, and thanks,
coup

I hope you don't mind me asking, but why use Windows technology rar?
Last I checked .rar for Mac was in Beta. So, it's probably not going to run on your older version of Mac OS X.
You can use Mac OS X's zip/archive (Windows original too) or convert .dmg's to encrypted disk images if you're concerned about security.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=152178
You can also use Stuffit Deluxe and make .ZIP, .TAR, or .SITX
http://www.allume.com/store/index.html
Also, the stuffit expander version you have installed ( If you have it) may be able to open the .rar files. But, you may have to update the version of expander you have installed.
Hope this helps,
Michael

  • FTP 553 upload FAILED in LION ( cuteftp, transmit, coda, cyberduck all fail) , But works in Windows 7.

    Hi folks,
    I hv a big trouble in FTP upload.
    I own a VPS server, and now is rush time I need to upload some file.
    Now, I use CUTEFTP, TRANSMIT, CODA, CYBERDUCK in my updated LION, ALL FAILED.
    and also, I can not use those client to creat a new file, and not allow to do anything.
    maybe you will say, " check your VPS setting ".
    the points are:
    1. I can use those client in sometimes, and error in sometimes.
    2. I can do anything, including upload, download, editing, creating file in my other WINDOWS 7.
    Okay, Anyone know the solution? Please help me.. thank you so much.
    p.s, ftp is easy job. I dont why APPLE **** this up like always.

    Problem solved!
    I found out how to get FTP to work on my Macs. It was just a hunch, but I tried it and BANGERS ON! (FYI: Bangers is an English slang term for sausages, the kind that is usually enjoyed with a sparkling fermented beverage. Ergo, bangers on implies that the work is done. Time to celebrate.)
    As you know, the Macintosh is a very sturdy operating system based almost entirely on Unix, but with a candy apple shell GUI. The developers of this candy coating went to great lengths to provide transparent services to the users that once were only available to the zealous key coders of yesteryear. File Sharing is one such feature. All one has to do is turn it on and specify a folder, and that folder makes itself discoverable on the local network. Oddly though, having it on interferes with passive FTP. All I did to make passive FTP work was to inadvertently decide that maybe … just maybe … it was a problem because it was another kind of File Transfer Protocol. So, I tried turning it off and the rest is history.
    BANGERS ON!

  • IE 11 on Win 8.1 Pro (x64) - Expand AllCollapse All Does Not Work

    Yolanda,
    Thanks for the prompt response. This comes as an email attachment which worked properly until I upgraded from win 8 to 8.1. I had disabled the add-ons without any change in behavior.
    I saved the attachment to my desktop, no difference. However, I copied the file to a box running an different IE version and it worked correctly which says the file is not the problem.

  • Icloud drive fails to work at all on my Macbook Air 11 inch with Yosemite recently installed, 2014-09-20

    icloud drive fails to work at all on my Macbook Air 11 inch with Yosemite recently installed, 2014-09-20. It works fine on my iMac, but that's no use to me. Unless it works with my Macbook Air, it's useless. Dropbox manages very well, but Dropbox has recently promoted the War Criminal Condoleeeza Rice to its board, presumably so it can spy on its users better. So, Apple, what's the problem? Any answers to this common problem?

    I like it very much. I use it on my iPad (and occasionally my iPhone). I'm kind of a keyboard snob actually. I tried the Apple wireless keyboard first. Apple keyboards have a short throw that hurts the tips of my fingers. They're very pretty but the on button turns on when I don't want it to and my iPad wakes up in my bag. Strike 1.
    I went to a little keyboard called the Joy and it had a positive switch so I didn't have the wakeup problem. It worked well though after several months I wore it out and had to replace it with another one. I also didn't like how flat it sat and used rubber bumpers on the back. It too had a short throw that hurt my finger tips after a while but it was better than the Apple.
    Then I discovered the Logitech bluetooth keyboard, the K811. This is a great keyboard. It switches between multiple targets with one press, it has a positive on/off switch, the keys light up, it's rechargeable and lasts a long time, and the slight cushioning on the keys keeps my fingers from hurting. I put the rubber bumpers on it though like the Joy because I like the keyboard to sit up a little. It's a tiny bit bigger than the other keyboards but I like it a lot, better than my MBA keyboard and better than my iMac wired keyboard. I'm trying out an after market keyboard on the iMac now but I'm thinking about switching to one of these for the iMac.

  • Facetime stopped working on mac. says "failed".  works fine on phone and new mini.  Any ideas.  already went thru all the troubleshooting. added a unique email address to the mac.  just keeps failing. ????

    facetime stopped working on mad.  says "failed".  works fine on phone and new mini.  tried all the troubleshooting, added a unique email to the mac facetime, nothing seems to work.  just keeps saying "facetime failed".  any ideas???

    I Got the same problem. When you change the output to internal speakers again facetime works again in the mac.
    I think it may be some kind of incompatibility with the current driver. I used in the past the old tascam Us-122 and worked well but its driver don't work more for the mountain lion system so i bought this newest one.
    When i used the old one I could use the volume keys on the mac keyboard to control output volume; now with the us-322 when hearing music you can control volume just from the tascam.

  • IChat video/audio fails to work

    iChat video/audio fails to work 90% of the time. The error message says the other party failed to respond, or some other, similar, bogus "communication error" message.
    Invitation to video or audio chat fails 100% of the time with certain buddies of mine, and anywhere from 50% to 90% of the time with others, regardless of whether they invite me or I invite them. Changing ISPs, Macs, locations, or static/dynamic IP settings has made no difference.
    This problem surfaced with Tiger in the summer of 2007, and progressively became worse, especially since Leopard, to the point where iChat video/audio fails 100% of the time, unless the other user happens to be in the same [home] network.
    All of a sudden the problem went away since the upgrade to 10.5.6, and I was able to again use iChat video to communicate with friends I have not been able to "see" in a year and a half! However, the problem started again today, with the same bogus "communication error" message every time a video connection attempt is made.
    Screen Sharing also fails to work, 100% of the time, regardless of how it is invoked, through iChat or not, unless, again, it is attempted between 2 macs in the same home network.
    In the meantime, Skype video works fine all the time.

    Hi,
    Thomson-Alcatel by default do what is called Binding of SIP to port 5060
    This means ANY SIP data is forced to that port. iChat 4 no longer uses this port for SIP. It caused problems in iChat 2 and 3 which could be resolved when the firmware was Version 4 or earlier.
    How do I know ?
    Personal Experience from a Speedtouch 510v4 (running version 4.2.5 firmware)
    Hence the web page I linked you to.
    Built up from comments on the iChat 3 forum and the iChat 2 forum since 2004
    Search Results for iChat 3 (it will only go back to about Nov 14th 2005 when the software Apple Uses to run the forums changed - some active threads did cross over this date so occasional ones are older)
    Smaller results from iChat 2
    The work by iBoise in this forum and the ADSLGuide's Apple Forum
    Known issues for the BT HOME HUB in Britain as it is a Thomson-Alcatel inside.
    Because the fix on Page 4a in the orignal link I gave, worked until Version 5 firmware came out.
    As I clearly said the results can be intermittent.
    With non Speedtouches it tends to be a 10:10:30 split out of 50 Buddies
    10 you can get all the time.
    10 now and then Buddies and
    30 Never successful.
    The Original Version 4 Telnet command would make this 100% successful to non Speedtouch devices
    In Version 5 it becomes about 15:10:25 which only marginally better.
    Later versions of the firmware do not even seem to reach these figures.
    Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections are better but still not 100%
    I would guess you live some where where Speedtouch's are popular and have many Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections that fair slightly better than average.
    Last time I had contact with iBoise on this the Firmware was at version 7 and he was in the process of evaluating it for any changes.
    There has been no announcement. In this case I don't think No News is Good News.
    I hope this helps.

  • SLM 2008 fails to work

    I have 2 SLM 2008. One of the bought in 2008 still under Linksys while the second is already Cisco labeled I got in 2010 to extend my home network. Both are firmwared to 2.0.0.10.
    The first one yesterday failed to work. When I switch it off nad in a minute back on, in a few seconds all leds light and after a couple of seconds go off. And that's it no farther signs of life. It is not pinged nor webgui accessible. Reset did not solve the problem. Any idea?

    Hi,
    The Screen Sharing part of iChat uses a Random port over the internet (Along side an Audio Chat).
    It may depend on how you have ports opened or allowed in any routing device.

  • Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. Does any one know how I can get it to recover?

    Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. I can hold the option key at start up and choose my network, then Internet recovery shows up with an arrow pointing up. When I click on the arrow Internet recovery fails and all I get is a globe with a triangle on it with an exclamation mark on it, and under that it says
    apple.com/support
          -6002F
    Does any one know how I can fix this without a recovery disc? Thanks

    I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
    I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
    I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
    Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
    So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
    It was Ram for me..

  • Cover Flow preview in Finder fails to work

    Hello,
    I updated recently to  OS X Mavericks, and since i updated there have been problems in the Preview (Cover Flow preview in Finder.
    When i open a folder and scroll down items, sometime there are 10 images and in cover flow shows only half and the other half are like not previewing them as they don’t exist in the folder so when i click on list view then gives me just file names i can see full list and open all files big, but the Cover flow is failing to work and desplay preview images - not previewing the correct fles mix, image names, for example i click on file 1 and it shows file 2… when i delate an image from the folder it just keeps a ghost image there so you don’t know if its actually erased, but again when u open in list view mode its ok, or you constantly have to close and reopen the folder to refresh the view in cover flow, so 100% Cover Flow fails to work since the update.
    can you tell me what is wrong?how can i fix it please as i really need this feature?
    Thank you

  • I just bought 15' Mac book pro. as i work a lot on Garageband. I even downloaded all the drummers and loops to update the new Garageband 10.0.1 now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it.

    I just bought 15' Mac book pro. as i work a lot on Garageband. I even downloaded all the drummers and loops to update the new Garageband 10.0.1
    now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it. so here are my questions
    1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
    2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
    3. There is an UPDATE on the new GB on Appstore and once i click it, it goes to billing no detail is provided what this update is for so help!
    thanks

    3. There is an UPDATE on the new GB on Appstore and once i click it, it goes to billing no detail is provided what this update is for so help!
    See: This document explains what the in-App purchase is about.
    Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
    Do you still have your old Mac?
    How did you migrate from the old Mac to the new Mac? Did you transfer your old software and documents using Setup Assistant? Then your old GarageBand '11 version should have been migrated, and all your instruments.
    if you did  not migrate GarageBand '11, copy your old Instruments Library and Loop Library over from the old mac. Copy the following folders to a thumbsdrive and merge the missing dontents into the corresponding folders on your new mac:  (from the system library - the top level library folder on your Macintosh HD):
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
    And if you would like to continue to use GarageBand '11 for access to missing features, copy also /Applications/GarageBand over, but to a subfolder of Applications. I recommend, to install the old GarageBand as well. It can be used in parallel to GB 10.0, and will come in handy, if your old projects are having problems.
    1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
    2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
    The JamPacks are nice to have, a terrific collection of instruments and loops, but if you did not have them previously, that will not help with your missing instruments. You can instll them by buying Mainstage 3. They work well with GarageBand 10.0

    I work with very large PDF files (i.e 2000 pages, 700 bookmarks on 5 or 6 levels!) and I'm looking for a script (Acrobat 9 Pro) allowing to expand/collapse all the bookmarks in a PDF file.
    Thanks in advance for your valuable help,
    Cheers
    Antonella

    The Acrobat Javascript Scripting reference (http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/AcroJS.pdf) describes how to use scripting to access bookmarks and how to open and close them, which is what you're looking for.
    I suggest you read the reference and make a function that will do the job for you.
    That's the way I would do it.
    I don't think you can access the keyboard shortcuts "/" and "Shift + *" via scripting.

  • Microsoft Office 2011 fails to work on new iMac

    I received my new iMac in mid December, and I used the Migration Assistant to move everything. Unsurprisingly, MS Office failed to work. I paid MS another $12 so I could download a new copy of MS Office 2011 and tried installing it. Installation succeeded, but every time I opened a Word or Excel file, it crashed.
    I deleted Office from both iMacs, old and new, including all of the MS files hidden everywhere. Reinstalled but the same thing happens. Deleted everything, including the downloaded disk image, downloaded it again, and reinstalled.
    Same result--crash!
    I have no idea what to try next. My wife is beginning to doubt my technical expertise. I've tried to mollify her with OpenOffice and Pages, but she is getting frustrated and angry.
    Any ideas on what to try? Please save my marriage!

    Your original post states:
    I deleted Office from both iMacs, old and new, including all of the MS files hidden everywhere.
    I have no idea what files you have deleted, and what files have been left behind, you have no guarantee that you deleted every single file from the thousands of files Office installs, a single preference file left on your machine is enough to cause Office to fail.
    As you  made a serious  error in using Migration to use Office on a new machine, I did not take as absolute certainty you  made a proper and complete uninstall of Office.
    If you need Office to work quickly, your option now is to clean install your Mac; 
    back up your work files
    erase the hard drivereinstall the operating system
    install Office correctly
    You will be up and running in 2 hours.

  • Power button fails to work about 95% of the time

    Hello,
    I have a Toshiba P205-S6267 that is having a strange issue.
    About 95% of the time the power button fails to work when on battery, and it fails 100% of the time when the AC adapter is plugged in.
    I am getting pretty stumped on this one and starting to think I may need to replace the 7-button circuit under the power button.  Before I spend the $55 to do that, I wanted to see if anyone had any advice for me.
    Here are the things I have tried.
    - the standard unplug the power / battery and wait a few minutes then plug it back in.
    - tried this only on battery, same issue
    - tried only on AC, won't power up at all
    - checked AC adapter with multimeter and it was outputting the correct voltage (also it keeps the battery charged still)
    - removed the keyboard and speaker cover then reseated the 7-button circuit
    - cleaned the ribbon cable contacts and reseated the ribbon cable for the circuit
    - removed RAM and tried each stick by itself, no change.
    I'm kind of lost here.  Again, I am probably at a point where I need to replace hardware but I don't want to drop the cash without some kind of verification that I'm not retarded. 
    Any assistance or advice is welcome.  Thank you.

    Ah, I've been playing around with this and it seems I was mistaken about the nature of the problem.
    It is deterministic, for one. It seemed nondeterministic because the action that makes the glasspane paint() fail is the act of giving focus to the JInternalFrame that the glasspane belongs to.
    Why does giving focus to a JInternalFrame disable that frame's GlassPane? I can take focus away from it, and the repaint() method starts working again.
