__MACOSX foldres when zipping a file

Hello,
i often need to make a zip file on my mac and put it on the internet for others to download. when i then open the zipfile i see a __MACOSX folder.
obviously this is for the resource fork and junk like that. this is very confusing for Windows users. So how do i suppress this ?
tyvm

Yes, those directories contain resource fork information and other metadata. I don't know of a way to suppress this if you use the built-in "compress" function in the Finder. However, you can easily create a zip file from the command line using the "zip" command (or tar/gz or bzip2 commands, for that matter), which won't contain this extra data.
Additionally, you could probably also write an Automator workflow that could zip up a folder or a bunch of selected objects without the added stuff.

when zipping a file which is 349MB in size I think this might be because it trying to store the file in the memory and the file is too large.What can I do to not store it in memory or if im wrong can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Wrong path when zip a file

When I try to Zip a file(backup.zip) everything is good except one thing.
When I use WinZip to unzip the file, the path for the file contains all subdirectories eg. c:\mycatalog\backup\db\data.data
I would like the path to be like: backup\db\data.data
The code:
pathName is "c:\mycatalog"
fileName is "backup"
public class Zip {
private static ZipOutputStream zos;
* Creates a Zip archive. If the name of the file passed in is a
* directory, the directory's contents will be made into a Zip file.
public static void makeZip(File pathName, String fileName)
throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
File file = new File(pathName,fileName);
zos = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(pathName.toString()+"\\"+fileName+".lum"));
//Call recursion.
recurseFiles(file);
//We are done adding entries to the zip archive,
//so close the Zip output stream.
zos.close();
* Recurses down a directory and its subdirectories to look for
* files to add to the Zip. If the current file being looked at
* is not a directory, the method adds it to the Zip file.
private static void recurseFiles(File file)
throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
if (file.isDirectory()) {
//Create an array with all of the files and subdirectories
//of the current directory.
String[] fileNames = file.list();
if (fileNames != null) {
//Recursively add each array entry to make sure that we get
//subdirectories as well as normal files in the directory.
for (int i=0; i<fileNames.length; i++) {
recurseFiles(new File(file, fileNames));
//Otherwise, a file so add it as an entry to the Zip file.
else {
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
//Create a new Zip entry with the file's name.
ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(file.toString());
//Create a buffered input stream out of the file
//we're trying to add into the Zip archive.
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(fin);
zos.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
//Read bytes from the file and write into the Zip archive.
while ((len = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
zos.write(buf, 0, len);
//Close the input stream.
in.close();
//Close this entry in the Zip stream.
zos.closeEntry();

Sorry, I want the path to be like: "\db\data.data"

Read the stack trace from the bottom up. It's telling you that the error, or exception arose
at ZipUtility.zip(ZipUtility.java:21)
which is udZipUtility.zip();This line called the zip() method which threw an exception
at ZipUtility.main(ZipUtility.java:31)
which is FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(strTarget);What is the value of strTarget?"C:\\Users\\dojo\\Documents\\Programming\\compress"This is a folder, isn't it?
Read the javadoc for public FileOutputStream(String name)
       throws FileNotFoundException
If the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason then a FileNotFoundException is thrown.

Help with util.zip up files... does not work

I am writing a program so my mum can zip up new photos she takes and then send them to me. The program creates a html file for the webpage plus a smaller version of her original photo and places them all in a 1 folder with a new name. Al this part works... I want to afterwards place my files in a zipped up folder that she can e-mail me with her normal client. How... I picked up this code on the net and have changed it to incoporate my parameters. The files which are created ..paths are (String in an String[]) I then send to my zipping method.
The zip file is created but does not work when I try to extract from it ??? I also know that the String [] works becuse I have made a loop to check its properties at each index.
what am I doing wrong?
This is a modified code I found on the internet but with no author??

    zos.flush(); // ADD THIS after all files have been written to the zos
    zos.close();
} catch(Exception e) {
    //handle exception
}And
while((bytesIn = fis.read(readBuffer)) != -1) {
    zos.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesIn);
zos.closeEntry(); // ADD THIS after each file is written to the zos
fis.close();

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

Itunes Crashes when importing Music File or Folder on Windows 7 64-Bit with Itune 10.5 and update ios 5

Itunes crashes when importing Music File or Folder ever since i updated it yesterday

You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). You may get a more useful error message as to which component has problems.

How to zip a file?

Hi folks...
I need to zip a file from Oracle Forms 6i (Oracle EBS 11.5.2.10) or a PL/SQL object to send it by e-mail.
I did a search and the only solution that I found was using Java:
*1) Create a java file like:*
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class zipfile
public boolean addFile(String filename,String outFilename)
try {
int len;
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFilename));
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filename);
// Add ZIP entry to output stream.
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(filename));
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0)
out.write(buf, 0, len);
in.close();
out.closeEntry();
out.close();
return true;
} catch (IOException e)
return false;
*2) Compile this file and import it at Oracle forms using Import Java Classes. But when I try to import this file I get the following error:*
Importing Class Zipfile...
Exception occurred: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Zipfile (Unsupported major.minor version 50.0)
What can be? Other Ideas to zip a file using Forms or PL/SQL?
tks

This might work, but you have to compile it with an older version of the java-compiler than you do. You might try JDeveloper 9.x which comes with the developersuite10g, but it might also be that you have to use an even older version.

After you do the unzip operation, can you see the MP3s on your computer? What happens when you right-click the MP3 and choose Open With > iTunes?
