Opening a compressed folder (zip)

Help! I received an email from Taiwan and naturally the characters are in Chinese. I can use an online translation service, no problem, but there was an attachment that will not open. The computer indicates it is a compressed attachment and I have no idea how to open it. I am new to using a Mac and could find no help from the online support website. Any Suggestions?

Samba 4: users unable to move files from compressed folder to Samba share

I have recently upgraded Samba 3.6.x from Centos 6.6 to Samba 4.1.12 on Centos 7.The shares were migrated in place. I reset permissions and Windows ACLs according to the Samba 4 Wiki.
When a user opens a compressed folder (a.k.a. Zip file) on Windows 7, then tries to copy the files into a shared folder on the Samba 4 server using drag & drop, only one to four files is actually copied, and the copy process silently fails. If the user waits about 2 minutes, then they can move all of the files without issues. Also, if the user is able to copy all files, when they try to delete the newly created folder they get an error: Thumbs.db cannot be deleted because it is open in Windows Explorer.
So, the root of the cause seems to be Windows Explorer locking files for too long. But I don't understand this enough to fix it.
No errors appear in the...

I am trying to send minutes of a meeting to pc users by clicking on export and choosing the word option. Recipients are unable to open them saying they came as a ZIP compressed folder. No idea what that is or how to correct the problem. Help!

I am trying to send minutes of a meeting created in Pages to pc users by clicking on export then word. Recipients are telling me they cannot open the minutes which have come as a ZIP compressed folder. I have no idea what this is or how to fix the problem. Help?!

A pc user can open a .zip file by double clicking it.
If that does not work, you can convert the document to a .pdf by doing the following.
With the document active, type commannd + P (the print command).
In the next screen, on the bottom left, click on PDF, and in the drop down select Save as pdf...
You will be asked where the .pdf should be saved - the desktop is the easiest.
Now when you want to send the minutes, you have them as a .pdf file. Anyone with Adobe Acrobat Reder can open this.

File created from ZipOutputStream not opening as Windows Compressed Folder

I create a file using java.util.ZipOutputStream using JDK 5. I can open the file in WinZip. But when I try to open as "Compress (zipped) Folders" in Windows XP, I just get an empty folder. Is there something I have to do other than creating a ZipEntry for each file? From WinZip, I can look at the files and extract them and everything seems to be fine including the folder structure.
Thanks.

Make sure there are no invalid characters in folders or files stored in the zip file.
Windows does not allow the following characters in folder and file names.
\ / : * ? " < >
Check your zip folder structure to see if it contains any of these characters.

Zip created through java.util.zip but problem in windows XP compress folder

Hi friends,
I am a software developer ,working on java/j2ee.currently i am working in a document management software related to logistics.Here i am facing a problem at the time of open the zip file through windows XP's in built software called "Folder compress".It's creared through java.util.zip.zipoutputstream.but at time of open through xp compress folder software ,it's showing error that "you can't open this file , this file are protected for your computer security" , but when i trying to open it through winzip or winrar, it's not giving any problem.My also specefing the code snippet below :-
ZipOutputStream zip = null;
 FileOutputStream fileWriter = null;
 try
 fileWriter = new FileOutputStream(destZipFile);
 zip = new ZipOutputStream(fileWriter);
 //required for XP compress
 zip.setMethod(ZipOutputStream.DEFLATED);
 zip.setLevel(Deflater.DEFAULT_COMPRESSION); //use default level
 }catch (Exception ex){
 ex.printStackTrace();
 System.exit(0);
 addFolderToZip("", srcFolder, zip);
 try
 zip.flush();
 zip.close();
 zip=null;
 fileWriter.close();
 fileWriter = null;
 }catch (Exception ex)
 //ex.printStackTrace();
 logger.log("net.mlog.edoc.ejb.session.EdocRetrieveServiceSLBean.ProcessException","Exception in Zip folder processing");
 }I desperately looking for a help regarding this issue , if any body have any solution the please send at this forum.
Thanks,

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
Mick

I want to compress or zip a photo album in iPhoto to a dvd cd

i want to compress or zip a photo album in iPhoto to a dvd cd

Why do you want to zip it? and what exactly is it? If your photos are JPEGs then they are very compressed and zipping is not going to save much if any space - it might increase the size even
If is is an iPhoto album of photos then open the album in iPhoto and select all - export to a desktop folder (see Exporting From iPhoto for options) and select the folder in the finder and right click - either burn to disk or compress and then burn to disk
If it is a photo book then
Before preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF - right click on it and either burn to disk or compress and then burn the compressed file to disk

Elements 10 Editor error on File / Open iPhoto Library folder

We have Installed PSE 10 and properly associated iPhoto to use PSE Editor. When we open iPhoto, we can click a photo, click on Edit.. and the photo appears for editing within the PSE Editor. This part is GOOD.
Our problem is that we don't use iPhoto, and would prefer to open the Editor directly, click on FILE / OPEN... go to our iPhoto library, double click.. and select photos from that pathway. Instead, the iPhoto folder does NOT open.. and we get the error:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error."
We have reinstalled PSE twice, and the same problem occurs.
Are we doing something wrong, or does PSE Editor NOT work to open the iPhoto folder?
Thank you for your help!

When you have imported you images into iPhoto, they are placed in your Library. The library is a special type of folder, similar to a ZIP or other compressed format. Photoshop Elements is unable to open this compressed directory, which is why you get the error. Basically, you need to get your images out of iPhoto and into a normal folder. You can do this by pulling your iPhoto library into the Organizer (File > Get Photos and Vidoes > From iPhoto).

How do I open a compressed file in Firefox?

I have zip files in my downloads on Firefox but can't open them. These are music files already paid for.
I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help?
thanks
DFAL

It shouldn't be a problem to open ZIP archives in Windows Explorer with a double-click or via the right-click context menu, just like you would open a normal folder.
You can find "Open containing folder" and Open in the right-click context menu of an item in the Download Manager (Download button on Navigation Toolbar: Show All Downloads)
Firefox manages downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library (History > Show All History)
*Downloads are treated as history items: clearing history removes included download items and vice verse.
*When downloads are in progress you see an animated download button on the Navigation Toolbar showing an estimate of the remaining time
*The Download button gets a green highlight once all download are finished to make you aware that new downloads are available.
*Pause and Resume can be found in the right-click context menu of an item.
You can display the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.

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 to Open a Specific Folder in the Finder via Shortcut Key

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, so sorry for not finding it...
Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to open a specific folder with Automator or AppleScript? There are 4-5 commonly used folders buried 10-11 levels deep on a server and I'd love to have a shortcut key to open those particular folders in the Finder.
Could you give me some assistance?
Thanks!

QuickKeys may work, or you can look on http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com for other alternatives.
Another option is to create aliases to those folders and store the aliases in a local folder which you can place on your Dock, the Finder window sidebar or toolbar.

Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?

Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

My taskbar crashes when I try to open any documents folder. (Windows Explorer, My Library, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Dropbox folder, Skydrive, every folder!)

Hello. I don't know if this is the right category for my problem but here it goes.
Since yesterday, I've been trying to open Windows Explorer folder (which include Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Downloads, Computer, Dropbox, Skydrive, etc.) and as a result my taskbar and my background crashes, the folder doesn't open and then my taskbar
and bg goes back to normal. I searched the problem in other forums but the responses are from last year and this is happening since 29/03/2014 (yesterday) so I don't know if this is a new thing or old. I called my sister because she has this same laptop and
asked her if this is happening to her also and she said it is so I'm starting to think that W8.1 needs an update. Idk :(. We have a Dell Inspiron 15 and it's brand new ! I ordered mine last month.

Hi,
Did you make any change to your system recently? To fix this problem, firstly, you can try to use
SFC /scannow command to fix it for test.
If problem persists, just try to boot your system into Safe mode to test if this problem occures. If problem occures, It would be better to use system resotre to revert your system to a former timepoint state.
To find the reason about this problem, you can use Process Monitor
to capture Explorer.exe when open folder or library.
