Trouble with Zip Files

I have been having problems with Expanding Zip Files, When I double click them I usually get an empty folder, Once I double clicked a Zip File and got 1 file i then double clicked again and got 2 files, I did it a third time and got 5 files, eventually I got all the files needed to run the program after several more times unziping.
I downloaded the "ParticleIllusion" Demo from http://www.wondertouch.com/
When I double clicked that i got nothing after a few times of re-downloading and trying to unzip the file I checked this discussion board for some answers and got nothing.
I then right clicked the file (I'm using a mighty mouse) and chose "Open With" I had 2 options 1. Stuffit Expander (default) and 2. BOMArchiveHelper (What ever that is) so I chose that, The Zip file decompressed perfectly first time!
I dont know what the program is, Who makes it, Or where it came from, All I know is It worked.

Adrian,
I found this: "BOMArchiveHelper is a core service that provides the mechanism behind the "Create Archive…" contextual menu in the Finder. It was introduced in Panther. Note that there are other libraries for zip compression available in OS X, and that BOMArchiveHelper is not well documented. The zip archives it produces have a proprietary method, similar to AppleDouble?, for preserving resource forks and other HFS metadata. As of this writing only BOMArchiveHelper and StuffIt 9 support it, but the archives can be opened with any other unzip program to access only the data forks." at http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?BOMArchiveHelper
And there is more at Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOMArchiveHelper

I receive many e-mails with zipped files. In the past few weeks I can no longer open them as I used to. I get a window welcoming me to the Application Loader. ( What is an Application Loader?) It says I need my iTunes Connect login, but when I try my

I receive many e-mails with zipped files. I can no longer open or unzip my files. A window welcoming me to Application Loader drops down. It prompts for an iTunes Connect login, but will no accept my iTunes login. I have no way to open or unzip my files. Help!!!!

Application Loader, unless there's another one I'm not familiar with, is part of the iOS SDK. That have usurped the .zip, or you may have removed that application but your Mac is still holding onto the mapping of Zip files to that application. Select a .zip file in Finder, Get Info, and go to the Open with section. Select Archive Utility and click Change All. That should fix the problem.

Troubles with xmp files not loading...

I'm having troubles with xmp files not loading with images but are present in the image folders. does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix this. Also when trying to load the xmp individually they are grayed out and unable to load. I have tried this on different machines (Macs) and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this issue.

> The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
Thanks for the help Kees :-)

Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy

You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

How can I install attachments for SAP notes with zip-files ???

How can I install attachments for SAP notes with zip-files ???

Can you elaborate on your question? How exactly is your question related to SAP NetWeaver Portal: Application Integration? If you are really asking how to install attachments contained in SAP notes, there is no automatic/general way and you should ask your question in the Software Support and Maintenance space to begin with. What SAP note(s) are you looking at installing?

PKGBUILD problem with zip file

Hi all,
I'm trying to build Envy Code R font package. Here is the file:
pkgname=ttf-envy-code-r
pkgver=preview7
_pkgver=PR7
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Free scalable coding font"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

install=envycoder.install
source=("http://download.damieng.com/fonts/original/EnvyCodeR-$_pkgver.zip")
md5sums=('0cce55205f1e8a109021b46c24741257')
build() {

However, 'makepkg' gave this error: -> bsdtar -x -f EnvyCodeR-PR7.zip

bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
I tried bsdtar -x -f with normal zip file and zip file with spaced file name and found no problem. Can anybody explain? Thanks,

Certain zip files can't be handled by bsdtar; it is explained in more detail in some of the technical writeups of libarchive which processes all files as streams rather than random-access as the 'unzip' program does.
For zip files that are made in a slightly unorthodox fashion, one can do the following:
1. Add the zip file to the noextract=() PKGBUILD array
2. Add 'unzip' as a makedepend
3. Add as the first lines of your build function:
cd $srcdir
unzip <sourcefile>.zip
4. Continue as normal.

What's the deal with zip files?

This was the closest forum match I could find to what I'm posting, hope it's right.
Being a Windows user, every time I get a zip file from a mac user it's full of all these extra files, often just duplicates of folder names with no extension. Pretty much always is a folder named "_MACOSX". What are these? Am I supposed to extract them with the rest of the content?
Message was edited by: Phil Nolan

Hi Phil,
quite the right place here for that question
The DS_Store file is created when a Mac user creates an archive (also called a zip file) using the Mac.
The DS_Store file contains the information about how a folder will be opened:
for example, the shape and size of the window, the window's position on the desktop and which view was last selected.
The DS_Store file is contained in every folder:
If a Mac user zips a folder of files, and the Mac user sends the zip file to another Mac user, the folder will not appear - this is a hidden folder.
When the Mac user sends the zip file to a PC user, however, the DS_Store file is shown.
PC users are often confused by these (seemingly superflous) files and folders.
Neither the __MACOSX folder, nor the .DS_store files are important for PC users, so you can ignore them; not unzip them; delete them.

Trouble with extracting file for Flash Professional cs5.5 because of error occurring??

Im having trouble extracting the file as it has fully downloaded but then it comes up with a warning box which says The following disk images could not be opened and then an image and reason with this below it FlashPro_11_5_LS1.dm error -4960 not to sure what to do about this??

Which operating system are you using? If you look in the Adobe Download Assistant is it still downloading the install files?

Possible Security issue with .zip files

I found a potential issue with expanding .zip files. In the cases I've seen, the .zip files were created on Windows using Winzip. After copying the files to my OS X system, I double-clicked the file to expand the files and folders. (In this case the zip files was a Ruby on Rails web application.) In looking at the files in the terminal, all the files had wide open permission - 777 - all users had full access to all files!
I had to go through and reset the permissions (755 for folders, 644 for files), and had to reset the execute permission on the Ruby script files.
I'm going to test some more with more zip files, but this could be a potentially huge problem.
Also, I noticed that the files had the "extended attribute" of com.apple.quarantine set on each file - which I assume is being set as a function of being downloaded via Safari from my webmail (Gmail) account. The .zip file had this attribute set, and when expanded it propagated to each file and folder.

The files don't have any security on them from windows - windows doesn't know anything about unix permissions.
I've compressed other files and folders on Windows and decompressed them in Tiger without a problem. I would think, at a minimum, the files would inherit the permissions of the parent folder I expanded them into.

Troubles with .m1v Files

Hi All
I am having trouble working with .m1v files in Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
I exported the .m1v (video only mpeg files) in Adobe Premiere Pro with the Adobe Media Encoder.
But now, when I try to add metadata to these .m1v files by right clicking on one- the right click menu no longer has file info as an option. And further, under the file menu- file info is grayed out when a .m1v file is selected. I also tried selecting the .m1v file and clicking in the IPTC core dialogue box, but when I do this, Bridge gives me an error box that reads: "This property cannot be modified"
Any Ideas???

It's simpler to just reinstall the OS, followed by running Software Update. Reinstalling shouldn't take too long and only replaces the system components and the basic Apple apps, leaving all settings and other files alone.

Trouble with music file

The web site it comes from is below:

Hello Frank,
In Firefox, try right-clicking or Control-clicking on the Windows link -- the one below "Available 12:05 a.m. Sunday until the next show" is the one I used. When the contextual menu appears select "Save Link As..." A Save As window should popup with "swingyears.asx" already populated, along with your default Save-to location, which might be the Desktop. Go ahead and hit Save.
You should now see a downloaded 4KB .asx file on your Desktop (or in your default download folder). This file points to the archived stream. Try double clicking on the file to open it using your default application for the .asx file type. If double-clicking on the .asx file fails, try right-clicking or Control-clicking on the file and select Open With > VLC. You can also try right-clicking on it and choose Open With > QuickTime Player and see what happens.
I had no trouble opening the file using QuickTime Player, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, or VLC. Good luck!
