Problem opening rar files

I checked various posts on this topic and downloaded both the Unarchiver and Unrarx and loaded them as applications. When I drag a rar file to either of these applications, I get a message
For the Unarchiver:
The contents of the file Cifob.rar cannot be extracted with this program.
For Unrarx:
Encrypted file: CRC failed in /Users/carmeljacques/Desktop/Cifob.rar (password incorrect ?) No files to extract
For the Unarchiver I made sure I had selected rar from the "archive formats" list. For unrarx I tried various passwords. I have tried several rar files and consistently get the same message. Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Carmel,,
Encrypted file: CRC failed in /Users/carmeljacques/Desktop/Cifob.rar (password incorrect ?) No files to extract
In all un-archiving when a message appears with (password incorrect ?) would suggest that the file is encrypted with a 'password'.
The password is created by the archiver and has nothing to do with your own system passwords. The creator of the archive - if they are allowing you to un-archive they must provide you with the password which must be entered by clicking the appropriate button in UnRAR prior to dropping the file onto the UnRAR software.
Methinks you may not have the appropriate password?

  • 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.

  • I'm having a problem opening my files -..

    I'm having a problem opening my files …..for example if i want to download something off the internet and run it after it always opens in Textedit which is annoying…..other programs open fine which are dmg but the exe files won't run….i need help

    If you are in fact running Mac OS 9 or earlier, which is from 2001 or earlier, .dmg files are disk image files like the .smi files used under Mac OS 9, but they are only Mac OS X compatible.   They are frequently used to store Mac OS X only installer disk image files.  .exe files are are Windows and MS-DOS executable files which can only run with Windows or DOS virtualization:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
    Most Mac OS 9 programs you'll be able to download either have a .sea, .sit, or .hqx suffix in their file name and are able to be opened with the old Mac OS 9 copy of Stuffit Expander.
    If you are using another operating system, please go to Apple menu -> About this Mac and tell us what you are running.  You posted to the Mac OS 9 forum, hence my response.    If there is an X in the name, you posted to the wrong forum, and I'll have this post redirected and try to answer if I have time.

  • Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

    Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
    I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
    "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
    I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
    Can someone help!?!?!
    Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

    Did you actually try doing what the message suggests?  Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

  • 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.

    HI
    I'm new user on mac and would like to know how to open .rar files and .exe files on MAC OS X

    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.

    My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

    Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview?  Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

  • Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

    Hi,
    we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
    If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself. 
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Regards
    Ulrike

    Ulrike,
    I think this is a known issue.
    Affected versions:
    o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
    o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
    If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
    Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
    Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
    Note 954627 - Issues with opening/displaying PDF files from KM

  • Problem opening .dmg files?

    Hi all,
    I've recently been having problems opening .dmg files -- specifically for a recent Adobe update, and the latest VLC update.
    Checking with their support, it seems that it's not a problem that others are experiencing.
    I get the following message:
    I'm on the 2007 27" iMac, with my OS (SL) being up to date.
    Any suggestions?
    Thx!

    Could be either.
    Check out your own stuff as far as you can. Your router diagnostics page should be able to tell you what sort of download speed you're getting, or you can use SpeedTest http://speedtest.net/
    Check your phone line from the main terminal to the router for loose connections, kinks that may be hiding broken wires and such. Check or replace the line filter that seperates the modem line from the phone.
    Then get your ISP to check out their end, and the phone company likewise.
    Hope you can find the source.
