Stuffit files not expanding correctlly

when i click on a .sit file, it seems like it is expanding the contents to a folder but when it finishes there is nothing in the folder. ive noticed it does this with all sit files, and i tried downloading a new version of stuffit expander but it does the same thing. any ideas whats causing this ?

Most likely the person who compressed the files has a damaged version of Stuffit causing corrupted files. Or that your version of Expander is corrupted. If you got this from an ftp site, or even an iDisk, I've often found this corrupts files, but that should be rare and intermittent, not every file.
You can try removing all versions of Stuffit or Expander you have, and do a search to find any preferences files or caches. If you have a corrupt preference file when you install an updated version it can still use the old preference file. Then reinstall the latest version of Expander.
Frankly, I've found Apple's built in Archive feature far faster and more reliable than Stuffit, which seems to corrupt about 20% of all files. To use it just select the file for compression in Finder then go up to the top menu to File and scroll down to Create Archive of... It will put the name of the file after "of" or if you select more than one it will say "of 5 files" or whatever number you've selected. To uncompress merely doubleclick on the file.

Stuffit Will Not "Expand" .sit Files

Please help. Every time I double-click a ".sit" file (or, select Stuffit from the "open with" menu item), a small windows opens for less than a second, then closes. Nothing else happens. I can't tell what the window is because it only flashes on the desktop.
I am experiencing no other problems on my PM. I have deleted all the Stuffit files I could find using Spotlight; Repaired Disk Permissions and Repaired Disk (no problems found in either); re-booted, and re-downloaded and re-installed Stuffit Expander -- but, I get the exact same results.
It must be something simple that I am overlooking, as I am fairly new to the Mac world. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

maclover - thanks again for the response. What does "you could have a trawl here" mean?
I went to the support link you provided and followed the instructions (even though it appears the problem described in this link is for when Stuffit crashes upon opening - Stuffit opens fine for me, but crashes upon attempting to expand a file). Anyway, I turned off "version checking" in Stuffit (I was able to do that without going through all the steps...all my other settings were as described), but the results are still the same: Stuffit crashes the moment it tries to expand a ".sit" file. More suggestions?

Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update ( PPC ) Could not expand correctlly

Hello Everyone.. I'm rather new to this, but i really need help.
I was doing a software update, i chose " mac os x update combined " which was..
186Mb. When i the download finished, it said the update couldn't be installed
due to it not being able to expand correctly.
Any Ideas?

I have the same problem on my Intel Macbook, and it is not to do with corrupted downloads in my case. I know this because I am not able to update anything at all through software updater. I have to manually download everything. Except as we all know a lot of mac updates cannot be downloaded manually, like java updates and firmware ones.
I was told it was to do with my harddrive permissions and so I used disk utility to repair them. This unfortunately didn't work and so I am stuck with a Macbook that is slowly becoming less and less secure because of failing updates

.sea files not supported

I'm new to mac, downloaded .sea files for the first time. Everywhere I read that I just doubleclick them to open but I'm getting the message
"cannot open the "xxx.sea" application because it is not supported on this system"? Is there some decompression software I need to get, or what?

Hi
Just follow this link:
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/
to get a free copy of "StuffIt Expander" - it will do the job.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

Do all of those files exist on your sytemd? I'm not running testing nor systemd in my initrd, so I can't do much checking.

File Not Found Error on Fresh MX7 Installation

After spending days getting CFMX 7.0.2 installed on a CentOS5.3 (production) server running Apache 2.2.3 and WHM/cPanel 11, by religiously following Bill Mitchell's lifesaving guide, CF is up and running but I cannot access the administrator or anything else in user public_html directories.
If I place a simple foo bar test file in the /usr/local/apache/htdocs/testfile.cfm directory, I can call it at http://[IPaddress]/testfile.cfm and it parses properly.
However, if I place the same file at /home/cfusion/public_html/testfile.cfm and call it at http://[IPaddress]/~cfusion/testfile.cfm, I get a CF-generated 404 "File Not Found" error.
cfusion is a cPanel account I created via WHM prior to installing ColdFusion as a repository for my CFIDE directory.
If I place a symlink for /usr/local/apache/htdocs/CFIDE -> /home/cfusion/public_html/CFIDE:"File Not Found". If I cp -R my CFIDE into htdocs: "File Not Found." These files are physically there. I can easily verify that of course. But CF is still saying File Not Found. In fact, if I disconnect Apache - JRun, Apache finds the files all by itself no problem. They are definitely there.
I thought this might be a permissions issue, but all my .cfm files are nobody:root 775.
Here's what I'm seeing in the exception.log:

I guess maybe I need to know where the config for webroots is set from the CF/JRun perspective? I'm a decent hand with web server admin stuff, but despite being a CF dev for 10 years, CF admin stuff is still a bit over my head. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm at my wit's end!

Thanks Mack. I set verbose to true in my httpd.conf, restarted Apache, restarted CF, but I can't see any difference in the logging. Errors seem the same, and no additional info.
The Apache error_log file is filled with cryptic stuff that looks like it's referencing JRun. Does any of this mean anything to you? Is there another log file I should be looking at?

Why : Data Control entry not expandable/empty - ADF Task flow based on HT.

Hi All,
I've hoping to create an ADF Task flow based on a human task. I have a stand alone ADF application within the ViewController of which I am attempting to create this task flow. The resultant data control entry doesn't seem to be expandable.
Questions
1. When creating an ADF Taskflow based on a human task, should it always be within a project in the same application as the SOA components?
2. If no, is the resultant human task data control empty or not expandable because the xsd for the HT is based on the MDS? I have configured all the MDS connections within my application.
JDev : 11.1.1.4
Thanks
PP

Hi,
Answers :-
1. No, it is not necessary that your ADF Taskflow based on Human Task should be in the same application where the SOA Project Resides. But for the deployment of that ADF Taskflow you will need the SOA Project.You can add that project whenever you want to deploy.
2. It might be the cause due to the MDS Configuration .
Do one thing , while creating the ADF Taskflow based on Human Task , you do select the .task file via the file system not from the MDS.
If you will select the .Task file of your soa project then it will ask you to name the Taskflow, just name the taskflow as you want and say ok.
After creating the taskflow, it will add a lot of xml files in your project and it will create a data control of it.
Hope it helps!!

Shah

Not all iTunes Files not showing up on External HDD

My old TC (the flat model from back to 2008 I think it was) broke down the other night so I removed the WD 2.0TB HDD (containing over 30'000 music files) to run this as an external HDD. I had swapped the original 500Gb with a 2TB drive which worked super for a couple of years.
Anyway, before all of this happened all songs showed up on iTunes and each single one could be played correctly from iTunes (without the ! should the file not be found) so all files were located through iTunes to the correct directory. Only one directory for my Music files...
Now, when I connect the HDD through an USB cradle (nothing has been touched on the drive) only a fraction of the files actually show up in the directory which is very odd indeed? I believe it was the same when the thing was actually working but didn't give it a think as it was doing what it was expected to do.
Next step was that I copied the whole HDD over onto my MAC and sizewise all (?) the files came over but still not all are showing...
So, how can I make sure all the files are being included as I want to move them all over to my new 2TB TC?

Thanks Limnos for taking your time with this.
Here's what happened
1) All my Music was stored on a TC 2.0TB WD hard disk which I shared with my partner.
2) All music in iTunes were mapped to this specific location and only this location.
3) When opening the folder on the TC only a fraction of the actual music folders were available to see (i.e. Artist The Wonder Stuff folder was present and in this folder only 2 album folders were found when in fact there should have been 12)
4) All songs in iTunes did play correctly so if i wanted to listen to one of the The Wonder Stuff songs they would all play (even albums that did not show up in the artist folder from above).
5) When clicking show file in finder, the file would show up and then again when going back manually into the folder as above.
6) TC dies on me. No more power.
7) Took out the HDD and put it in a cradle to extract the songs.
8) Right click on the folder shows there are about 35'000 files which sounds right BUT only a fraction of these can be seen.
9) Now I cannot do the show in finder through iTunes as the directory no longer exists (the TC died and I threw it away, except for the HDD).
10) The files are on the HDD but I cannot see but a fraction of them when opening the folder...
I hope this makes it a little more clear.
I honesty do not know what to do as I know the files are there but cannot see them and thus map them in iTunes... :-(

PDF bookmarks not expanding for 2 chapters in my 9-chapter book. What should I look for?

In my unstructured book, page, table and figure numbering is all correct. All 89 figures number correctly. I can't get the PDF bookmarks for chapters 2 and 8 correct. Each of the chapters have a bookmark, but no expanded bookmarks. They should have several. My TOC may have a clue as to what is wrong: only the links for chapter 1 work. All of the other chapters in the TOC show a link is present, but nothing happens with a click.
I've used the same formatting throughout the book; e.g., paragraph tags, master pages, etc. I only have 2 master pages – first and right. First is used for the first page of each chapter. When I save to PDF these 2 chapters separately, the chapter title ends up at the end of the bookmark list instead of the top. I know something is off, but I don't know what to look for. Tags that I don't see? Very frustrating.
I'm relatively new to FM and don't understand the tags in the reference pages. I haven't intentionally created any formatting tags in the reference pages. I only use them for special characters and repeated graphics.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. What I want for Christmas – a decent user manual for FM! I'd take a class, but I'm retiring in April.

The title bookmarks for the chapters won't be out of order in the book, but you indicated that they are (at the end of the sub-levels) for chapters 2 and 8 when done separately. If the text frames holding these titles were created after the main flow text frames, that would explain why things are things are misbehaving.
To specify the expanded bookmark level, you need to explicitly type in the level value that you want [ignore the drop down list and "Default" setting].
From the Book file, regenerate the TOC before you test the links. If you get a "File not found" after this, in the TOC, then something is really messed up i nhe TOC file. I would rename it and create a new one for the book. You can then import your formatting from the older, renamed version.

Why does the OS ask me to use StuffIt when StuffIt is not installed?

I have a brand-new Mac Book (10.4.8). I have not explicitly installed either Microsoft Office (though the Office trial is still running) or StuffIt.
I'm trying to download and open a .sit file. It erroneously gets opened by Microsoft Word. I've gathered from elsewhere on this forum that the problem is that I don't have StuffIt installed on my machine.
I used Spotlight to look for an application on my machine called Stuffit*, and couldn't find any.
However, when I try to download the file using Firefox I get a dialog box asking me whether I want to save it to disk or open it with StuffIt.
I'm confused.
1) Does Stuffit come preinstalled on the Mac?
2) If StuffIt is not installed on my machine, why do I get an option to use it in a download dialog?

1) Does Stuffit come preinstalled on the Mac?
No
2) If StuffIt is not installed on my machine, why do I get an option to use it in a download dialog?
Don't know.. but if you're certain that neither you nor anyone else with access to the computer has installed it, you could just download it.

If you choose the option to Open it with Stuffit from FireFox, what happens?

Music files not showing up in library when transferred from computer?

Just got an 80gb ipod classic. Haven't the slightest clue how to use it. Reading help and stuff but not getting answers. I transferred music from my computer to my music folder in Itunes but they don't show up in the library? They're probably WMA files but they need to be converted. I thought they were supposed to do it automatically? There are no instructions on how to do this in itunes help. Anyone have any solutions?

Wave your mouse over the WMA files in WIndows Explorer. There should be a pop-up info balloon.
Does it say they are protected?

TOC in French version of webhelp does not expand correctly

I have a RoboHelp project (RH 8.0.2.208) created by importing an HTML Help project that I use to generate WebHelp. The HTML files, the .hhc, .hhk, .hhp files have been translated to French (from English). I have changed the language in the project settings to French (France) and I generate the WebHelp output. All appears to process correctly except the TOC does not expand and collapse correctly. Some first level entries expand with one click (as expceted), some entries only expand after other entries have been expanded, and some entries will not expand at all, and once expanded, some entries will not collapse.
I have used the same process to generate other language versions and have not had the same issue. I have been searching the forum to see if similiar issues have been reported but cannot find anthing similar.

I had something a bit similar with RH 7, except it wasn't limited to one language but Firefox browsers. That problem was solved by installing the latest RH patches. You have a later version of RH and the problem is only in French, so the problem is most likely in the French help project.
What I'd do to troubleshoot it: Make spare copies of the help projects, just in case you make it worse and not better.
use a comparison tool like Beyond Compare, to compare the .hhp, .hhc and .js files between the French and English projects: any unexpected differences that are not language related? If there are unexpected differences in tags or other functional items, copy those items from the good project. Rebuild the project by opening the .hhp file.
or
Assuming your projects use the same file names for everything, copy the French .htm, .hhc and .hhk files into a spare copy of the English project. Open the project normally and change the language setting and help title (the .hhp should not have any other translated texts than the help title).
It can happen that a translation agency does something to the translated files, that does not work in your system. It can be very obvious in a side-by-side comparison, in a comparison tool or just Notepad, or it might be a bit more hidden like wrong character encoding.
