Unable to unzip downloads

I've downloaded a number of the Solaris 8 CD images, but I cannot unzip 3 of them
Download Solaris 8 4/01 Software 1 of 2 CD ( 332.59 MB )
Download Solaris 8 4/01 Documentation CD, European (optional) ( 359.70 MB )
Download Solaris 8 4/01 Documentation CD, European (optional) ( 359.70 MB )
All flavors of unzip (Win and Solaris Sparc) failed. I can run a unix flavor of zipfix and reconstruct something, but I'm loathe to actually use the ISO as a slew of new files are created inside the zip file, leaving me to wonder how corrupt the files are.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

First let me say that I've installed Solaris 8i and found it to be a very reliable installation.
However, corrupt install disks are a very common cause of frustration for any OS or software; store bought or downloaded.
0) Installation documents are very important to read. Allways read them over.
1) Use an "ftp" program to download CDs because it uses error correction, a web browser may not (many ftp applications are available for free or share.
1a) Don't expect Windows to check for errors in any manner throught this whole process.
2) Look for an "MD5SUMS" file or other method offered from the download site to insure your downloads are not corrupt. For example a program called "md5sum" reads a file and creates a code. The code is compared to the code in MD5SUMS at the download site (the origional code). Matching codes garuntees a good copy. But even checking the files are the exact same size is better than nothing.
3) If your zip program can't unzip and you've followed step 2; find a better zip program. (! even if it does - you should still heed step 2 to get a "suprise free" install !)
After Writing the CD:
You should really check to see if the CD was written correctly - though this isn't usually needed as much as checking after a large download.
CDROM drives are occasoinally at fault for install problems. For example, if you hear your CD "drop and spin" inside the drive at any time, you have a problem.
If you get a message like "can't read package" during installation that's a sure sign that either the CD data is wrong or the CD drive malfunctioned.
Unfortunately, many errors are less "tell tale" and may either be computer related or install related.

Unable to unzip of Oracle11gr2 zip files

Hi
i am going to install Oracle11gR2 installation on AIX 5.3 TL10 SP4
but i am unable to unzip file getting below error
# unzip aix.ppc64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip

a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the

With every Oracle download and instructions I am gettting more and more annoyed!!!
On the official note Oracle RDBMS OTN Downloads: Files, Sizes and Directions [ID 209555.1]
this is what it says:
+*<Moderator Edit - deleted MOS Doc content - pl do NOT post such content - it is a violation of your Support agreement>*+
But where does it say I need to unzip it on the AIX box?
ALso I don't have "unzip" when AIX is shipped. The only version of "unzip" I have was the one I got from Oracle9, which I then copied to my Oracle10 installation.
In the past they used to give us .tar file, the most possible simplest of format easy to use. I would unzip the file in Windows, do a binary transfer - job done.
Was anyone thinking when preparing those files?
Why are the instructions on the Oracle note so vague?
At last, one needs to check the ulimit and add the fsize to the account in /etc/security/limits
oracle11:
fsize = -1
data = -1
stack = -1
After that "unzip <fie> "
NO OPTIONS NEEDED!!!
-t means test on my version of unzip.

Unable to Unzip Disk2 9i.021

I have spent hours downloading this twice only to get an error that says the zip file on disk two is bad. I have plenty of HD space so it's not that.

Application Loader unable to unzip .ipa file

I am developing under Flash Professional CS5, working on a PC. Using the development distribution files, my application builds and I can run it on iPhone, iPad, and iPod. Now I am trying to get it to the App Store. I have a distribution certificate which I got before Apple pulled the plug, and was able then to just change the extension to .zip and upload to the App Store (where of course it got stuck until now). This week I rejected my binary in the store, and built an updated version. You can't just upload to the App Store any more; you need to use the Apple Application Loader. This, of course, only runs on a Mac. So, I downloaded and installed the latest version on my Mac. transferred the .ipa to a memory stick, and gave it to the Loader.
I get this curt message "Unable to unzip application"
I have tried renaming it to .zip.
I have tried extracting the Payload and zipping that up again (different error but still no good)
Has anyone else got any applications built on a PC uploaded recently? Please tell what you did

I had almost the same problem. I'm on OS X though. I have my issue solved but it took a lot of trial and error. There were enough clues on this thread though to get me there so thanks everyone. Here's what I went through and what I've discovered:
I compile with Flash CS5
(I was trying Christian's way on the commandline but I forget why I couldn't get it to work, must try it again now. ref:
http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2010/09/packager-for-iphone-refresher.html)
This creates my .ipa file. I don't know if I need to use the commandline, but I did in order to rename the .ipa file to a .zip file. I then double clicked the .zip in the Finder which unzips it with the default OS X app, not 7 zip or something third party. This produces a folder called Payload. If my swf is set in Flash to publish to Main.swf, then inside Payload I see Main.app
I zip Main.app by right clicking it in the Finder and select the Compress option, again, default OS X compression stuff.
This is the correct way to create the ipa file, and produce the kind of zip file that Application Loader wants.
Along the way, I encountered some other distracting problems. I'll explain those now, but they are not related to the actual ipa/zip/unzip problem.
I had two errors, one about a bad bundle ID. This was in fact a typo I had by one letter. In my case it was ca.abcd.abcs in iTunes Connect, and in Flash CS5's settings, it was ca.abcd.abc. That was a forehead slapper I tell you.
The other error was my app not being signed with a proper certificate. I knew I was using my app store certificate, not my dev certificate (this is important btw). I tried revoking my certificate in the app store as @JimmyInteractive mentioned, but I don't think in my case this was necessary. I still had the same issue after revoking. Avoid this if you can because it's a pain in the a$$ to set up all your provisioning profiles again on iTunes Connect and in Keychain, XCode etc. Prior to trying to get everything up onto the app store, I had of course been developing on my personal device, with my developer certificate. What I forgot to do for app store distribution, is in Flash CS5 change Certificate to my app store .p12 file. I still had it set to my dev .p12 file. Doh!
After I did that and figured out the zipping stuff it all worked. Hope this helps!

Unable to unzip files

Hi Everyone
On a new iMac running 10.6.5 I am unable to unzip archives. When I double-click an archive on my desktop, the archive utility displays the following message :-
"Error identifying a writable temporary folder. Try moving the archive to another volume"
If I move it to a network volume or an external drive, it works fine. I have repaired permissions and but still no joy.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this annoying problem?
Thanks.

Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

Obviously your download was not successful.
What is your operating system? How exactly do you download such files?

Hi Kerstin,
the note also says: "This restriction is no longer valid".
With SP19 I do run tests continously that test content up to 2GB.
Amit: What portal version are you running? What repository implementation is the file stored in? If the file is stored in a file system, what is it's file size limitation?

I am unable to successfully download and apply any updates to my Apple TV. I have unplugged and restarted my Apple TV but I continue to get the "update unsuccessful" message. Any help would be appreciated.

I am unable to successfully download updates to my Apple TV. I am stuck on software 5.1. Am I going to just have to buy a new Apple TV or can Apple TV be repaired. Anybody know any tricks. I am connected to Internet with through a power line adapter. All of my other Internet based applications are working fine through this connection so I don't think the power line connection has any bearing on this failure to download and update.

Restore it using iTunes as described here:

AppleTV does not need a power lead when connected to the computer (AppleTV 3 will for part of the process).

Unable to view download movies when in the air??

unable to view downloads when on the plane??

You might want to include a little more information such as the source of the download and the app. However, if you are referring to a movie purchased in itunes, yes, once downloaded you do not need WiFi to view. but it must be downloaded first.
To actually download or stream, you need a WifI connect that permits that. Most airline WiFi services block large file downloads and streaming.

I'm unable to completely download the latest iphone software verison 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5.2.11, downloading fails with 100kb left (err = -3259).

Hello,
I'm unable to completely download the latest iphone software verison 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5.2.11, downloading fails with 100kb left (err = -3259). Any suggestion on how to resolve this? I manually cleaned the DNS cached as well as directly connecting my pc to the cable modem instead of the router.

Thank you for your response. But unfortunately there's no Apple Genius Bar here in Malaysia. Only resellers, which I feel that they are charging way too much in the first place.

Unable to update/download

I am unable to update/download apps on my iPhone. When I connect to iTunes to update, it tries to connect me to my husband's account. How do I fix this?

You need to restore it and use your backup next time. If you don't have one then I suggest you restore it as new then redownload all your apps using your apple id. Another way is to delete the apps that are trying to update and then redownload them using your apple id.
