Needing to open RAR files.

I am needing to download some files that are .rar files, but I cannot get them to open on my Mac. Am I not doing something correctly or do I need a special program to open these types of files? Thanks for any advice.

You need Stuffit. It will open most compressed formats, and they offer a free trial, if you just need it for a couple .rar files.

Opening .rar files

I tried opening a .rar file with no luck. What program should I get to open these zipped files. I want something free. Or maybe there is something on my iMac that I'm not aware of.
Regards, Pat

There's a freebie here I've used. Has worked for my use so far (for the few times I've needed to open a .rar file). rar is rarely used on the Mac, so there's little support out there for it.
Stuffit also opens RAR files. The item linked to above is the only way to create RAR archives on the Mac. That is, from the Terminal as a command line only application. There has been no one yet that has written a RAR utility to create such files from the GUI that I've been able to find.

I need to open a file with an associated programm.

I need to open a file with an associated programm.
I'm looking for two solutions:
1. for Linux/Solaris/Unix/...
2. for Windows 95/98/Nt/2000
For Windows I have done this with command line
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + uSavePath);
but it doesn't work on windows2000. We need an universal solution.
For linux
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("netscape openURL " + uSavePath);
But may be anybody know better solution?

You are right. For unix better solution is that my program to care about all association itself. As I undestend now it's a common solution for unix applications.
But for windows it will be ugly enough. I've found another way for windows
Win2000/NT: "cmd /C start filename /B"
other Wins: start filename
for linux I've stopped at doing this via Netscape.
May be in future I'll make my property file.
start filename - on Win95(may be 98/ME) returns -1 if file not assotiated with a programm, and doesn't shows openWith dialog. It solved using something like "rundll32 shell32, OpenWith filename"
It's all for those how will solve this problem in future.

although i ran GBX6 under 10.5.8, i do believe an intel processor is required. that means that the only complete solution would be a new computer, i'm afraid.
the best you could do is export each track as an audio file from GBi and drop them into your GBX project

Open .rar file in nokia 5800 ??????????????

Hi there, I have one problem with my nokia 5800. When i am trying to install .rar file in my mobile, it says the phone is not compatible with this file. So that why i am not able to install any theme in my mobile. So someone pls help me.

petrib, you obviously haven't downloaded many themes in recent years.
Most popular and quality thememakers (even one of the most well known, pizero) out there now distribute themes in ZIPs or RARs because quite often there is more than one version of the theme (changed icons and default icons). The zip/rar keeps the versions together when other sites link to the themes.
Personally I open the zip/rar on a PC then send the required sis/sisx files to the phone using bluetooth.
There is one application that allows you to open rar files on the phone but it requires signing and I am not sure if it can be open signed or not.

despite the workaround, it doesn't fix the real problem. It shouldn't be a huge deal for adobe to add support for multiple svn versions. Dreamweaver is the first tool i've used that works with svn that doesn't support several types of svn meta data. If they're going to claim that Dreamweaver supports svn is should actually support svn, the current version, not a version several years old. This should have been among the first patches released, or at least after snow leopard came out (and packaged with it the current version of svn).
does anyone know if the code that handles meta data formatting is something that is human readable, or where it might be, or is it in compiled code.
i signed up for the forums, for the sole purpose of being able to vent about this very frustrating and disappointing situation.

FIREFOX OPENS RAR FILES INSTEAD OF DOWNLOAD

I'm using Firefox 21. When I try to click in a rar file link, firefox opens the file instead of download.
I've tried to change in "Tools->Options-> Aplications" the actions taken by the browser depending of file types, but there is no case for rar files and I cannot add it.
Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance

This can happen if the server isn't configured properly and sends the file as text/plain.
You should be able to verify this in Tools > Page Info > General
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
In such a case you can't left-click a link, but need to use the right-click context menu and use "Save Link As"

Need help opening pdf files

I have a cd, which I have had for several years, and was able to use until the last year. Suddenly, Adobe Reader (I have tried several versions, updates, fixes, whatever!) says that each and every pdf file on the disk is damaged.
This is a cd that used to be able to start up on its own, and had various menus to get to the final pdf pages. I cannot open the files through windows explorer, nor by going through the menus. Each time, the error message tells me the file(s) was damaged because it was sent via e-mail or some other method that caused the files to be damaged. The problem with that is that the files and the cd were never altered, as the cd is not a rewritable one. It is also not pirated, if anyone is going to ask that question.
The cd is a manual for my vehicle. It has a parts manual, and a workshop manual along with other items. When the cd is put into the drive, it starts automatically, but cannot get a single file open. I have tried this in two different systems, and I get the same results. The strange thing is that I have files made under earlier Reader versions that still work. So why not this one, and why isn't someone at Adobe available to help me straighten this out? Shame on them!

I am facing the similar problem. Not able to open some PDFs. Was able to open till 2-3 months back. Did some analysis that not able to open the files created with version older the 9.0 of Adobe Reader. Also tried to open the same PDFs in my colleagues' Laptops and my home PC. No Success.
NEED SERIOUS ATTENTION FROM ADOBE.
You are in a user to user forum. If you want attention from Adobe, you'll have to contact Adobe and pay for the attention, as they don't provide free attention for problems related with the free Reader.
Adobe Reader cannot create PDF files, only open (read) them. If you cannot open some PDFs from within Reader in your machine and others, most probably they are damaged. Are you receiving any error messages when you try to open them? "Not able to open" doesn't say much, really.

I am in the Army and need to open Pure Edge (.xfdl) files on the iPad 3. Does anyone know if there is an APP to use .xfdl files, on OS-6, using the iPad?

You don't need an app, if your keyboard is supported, you can pair it with your phone:

What version of Photoshop do I need to open PSDX files?

I have a tablet with PS Touch, and a copy of Photoshop CS4. Can I open PS Touch PSDX files in my version of Photoshop?

To open PSDX files in Photoshop, you will need Photoshop CS5. You will also need to download the plug-in to enable Photoshop CS5 to open PSDX files. For more information about using Photoshop Touch with Photoshop CS5, see this forum article. Another helpful resource is this new video by Russell Brown called, File Format Options with Photoshop Touch.
