Unzipping archives

HI there!
I am trying to unzip a book I downloaded from a website and cannot. I have tried with Winrar, RAR and the unarchiver and the only thing I get is to double the icon of the document which never opens because everytime I click it to open it prompts me again to decompress it. I have contact the website techs where I dowloaded the book from and they insint that the link and the documenta are ok antd it is a matter of the software I am using to unzip it.
Help please!

One of my co-workers using Mac OS 9 can see all of the files just fine, but another co-worker running Mac OS 10.5.5 like me - is having issues as well.
That would probably indicate that these files are using a legacy Japanese encoding instead of Unicode. You may need to create copies of them converted to Unicode to use them on OS X, or do all your work in the non-Unicode OS 9 with apps designed for that.
If you know Japanese well, perhaps someone in the Japanese forums could help:

    How to configure Team explorer 2010 command-line tool in Mac x os.
    Hot to configure shell or system path to include the folder to which (TF client) unzipped archive available. I am new to Mac X OS. Please help.

    Dmitry,
    Thanks for the great writeup!
    I think I've got my universal instant client libraries built correctly.
    I too am using MacBook Pro but I'm getting stuck at building the 32 bit oci8.so
    First problem is my pecl download (ver 1.4.1) did not contain a "configure" file so ./configure failed.
    I used configure from /sw/....... to try to continue.
    Second problem. Using existing configure from /sw/.... I used an appropriate variation of your example command
    (./configure --with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2 && make).
    Things look like everything ran OK but The output does NOT include an oci8.so file
    So I guess my question is: Which "configure" should I be using? And if it is not the one on the system under /sw/...
    where would I get it since it doesn't come in the pecl download?

  • Can't properly unzip archive when use  ZipInputStream

    Hello.
    Have some problem with ZipInputStream.
    I have two simple tasks:
    1. Download zip file from web.
    2. Unzip file.
    Zipped archive contains four text files.
    So, all of the above is simply resolved with a help of ZipFile class, but when i use ZipInputStream, i got only one of four files unzipped in output, where i am did a mistake?
    Here is the code:
    URL url01=new URL(....);
    ZipInputStream zis01=new ZipInputStream(url01.openStream());
                ZipEntry zipEntry;
              while((zipEntry=zis01.getNextEntry())!=null){
                    if(!zipEntry.isDirectory()){
                        PrintStream ps01=new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(zipEntry.getName()),true);
                        BufferedReader bffr01=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(zis01));
                       String line;
                        while((line=bffr01.readLine())!=null){
                            ps01.println(line);
                        ps01.close();
                    zis01.closeEntry();
                zis01.close();Edited by: 814785 on Sep 4, 2011 6:03 PM

    PrintStream also swallows exceptions.Of course you are right. I handle all necessary exceptions ...You're missing the point. PrintStream doesn't throw them in your code. None of the print() or println() methods throws any exception at all. You have to write extra code. You have to call checkError(). See the Javadoc.Thank you, EJP, I'm already know about this moment. The question is about ZipInputStream behavior, not about how to catch and handle exceptions. There is no exceptions in my code. I tried methods with buffering, without buffering - no success.
    As i wrote, the solution is in compression method. ZipFile works - that is enougth, ZipInputStream understrand only old zip archives, to be more exact: method getNextEntry() can't read all entries. You can do your own test, i can send you my archive if you want.
    One of other variant of code without any buffers (also doesn't work properly):
    ZipInputStream zis01=new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream("unzipme.zip"));
                ZipEntry zipEntry;
                while((zipEntry=zis01.getNextEntry())!=null){
                    if(!zipEntry.isDirectory()){
                        FileOutputStream fos01=new FileOutputStream(zipEntry.getName());
                        int count;
                        while((count=zis01.read())!=-1){
                            fos01.write(count);
                        fos01.close();
                    zis01.closeEntry();
                zis01.close();Edited by: user124 on Sep 5, 2011 4:34 PM

  • Auto unzip archive files

    Okay, after I updated my laptop to the latest version of the OS, i.e., 10.9.2, it somehow stopped auto unzipping thr archive files. How do I re-enable it? I use Chrome.
    I did check Preference's in Safari and 'Open "safe" files after downloading' is still checked!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I haven't done it for a while, but I manage to archive files from the workflow via a script.
    In the workflow you have to use the ExternalProcess command.

  • 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.

  • General Eclipse Question (Not a NetBeans vs Eclipse Thread!)

    I am going to play around with Vaadin, and I am going to use Eclipse and the Vaadin plugin for this play.
    In reading the Book of Vaadin, the author actually recommend downloading Eclipse, unZIPping it, and running it from that unZIPped archive instead of "installing" it. The author mentions more control and less aggravation in the long run.
    Now, I don't use Eclipse much at all (I use NetBeans usually). What I have done in the past with BOTH NetBeans and Eclipse is:
    1) Install from repo, run as my account for work, run as root to do updates and install plugins.
    2) Install from repo, run as my account for work AND plugin installs/updates.
    I prefer #2 as it's less of an issue to just "blow away" all the plugins and start again if I need to.
    My bottom-line question is: "Does running Eclipse from my 'local' /home/xxx without actually 'installing' it really make that much difference compared to #2 above?"
    I'm hoping someone that has more experience with this can render an opinion. Also, if any of you have experience with Vaadin, do you have any tips for a noob?!?

    One consideration with running Eclipse from a local unzipped install is being able to create multiple instances, with a different mix plugins. I keep three core versions going for Java, Python, and Android development. I've found some plugins do not always play well with others in Eclipse. At least that was my experience with Ganymede and Helios. My Java instance is loaded up with a bunch of enterprise junk, like JBoss Drools and Spring plugins, so it can sometimes get bogged down at start up when connecting to remote resources over VPN.
    I've found that limiting the number of plugins I keep in any instance I use is helpful in keeping it stable. Note that you'll also need separate workspaces for each instance. Also, to keep your sanity, tarball a backup before installing or updating any plugins. Probably not for everyone, but it works for me.

  • 10.4.9 as Domain Controller fails daily for Windows clients

    I have a 10.4.9 Open Directory Master server which also serves as a PDC for Windows XP clients. Windows clients can log in and get roaming profiles with shared homes for Mac and Windows environments. This all works fine.
    But, for the last week, every morning, the Windows clients cannot find the domain. I can replace the /etc/smb.conf file with a saved good file, restart the Windows service and all works fine until the next morning, where it fails again. Simply restarting the Windows service does not help; it needs to be reconfigured with a new smb.conf file.
    Mac clients can authenticate and connect via smb. The Windows XP Pro clients are up to date with latest updates, so there could be a problem from that, but the updates don't match the date the problems started. The start of the problem coincided with removing an Open Directory Replica, which was no longer needed. It is probably unrelated, but it is the only change I can think of.
    There must be some overnight process which resets some setting. Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks for any help!
    Mostly Xserve servers   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   400 + node Open Directory domain Win & Mac All Mac servers

    Macs & PCs (too many!)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Tom,
    We destroyed our domain and rejoined all our XP boxes. This did not fix the problem. There appears to be a bug in Apple samba-100.7 (10.4.9).
    As a quick fix we extracted the smbd binary and smbd.plist from a 10.4.8 combo update (Note: you could also grab the files from a working 10.4.8 install)...
    1. Download the 10.4.8 combo update from http://www.apple.com/support
    2. Mount the 10.4.8 update .dmg
    3. In Terminal navigate to the folder containing Archive.pax.gz, in our case this was...
    cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Server\ 10.4.8\ Combined\ Update/MacOSXSrvrCombo10.4.8PPC.mpkg/Contents/Installers/MacOSXSvrCmbBase10.4.8 PPC.pkg/Contents
    4. Copy Archive.pax.gz to a location on your HDD, like Desktop
    cp Archive.pax.gz ~/Desktop
    5. Unzip Archive.pax.gz
    cd ~/Desktop
    gunzip Archive.pax.gz
    6. Grab a copy of Pacifist and use it to open Archive.pax
    7. Using Pacifist, extract (drag and drop) the following files from the archive to your Desktop...
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
    /usr/sbin/smbd
    Note: We are going to replace smb in the next step, best backup the current copies of the above files before proceeding.
    8. Open Terminal again...
    Stop SMB...
    sudo serveradmin stop smb
    Replace samba with 10.4.8 version...
    sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd /usr/sbin/smbd
    sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
    9. Restart SMB and the process is complete...
    sudo serveradmin start smb
    Cheers,

  • Upgrade from TREX 6.1 to TREX 7.0

    Recently upgraded our Portal Environment from EP 6.0 SPS19 to EP 7.0 SPS14.  Our TREX version was 6.1 Rev 32.  Installed TREX 7.0 Revision 38.
    The upgrade Guide for TREX 6.1 to TREX 7.0 refers to running python script exportHost61_70.py to export the indexes from the TREX 6.1 system.  I shutdown the TREX 6.1 system and started the 7.0 TREX system.  Executed python script importHost_61_70.py to import the indexes to the 7.0 environment.  The scripts ran successfully with no errors.  Restarted both the TREX 7.0 and the EP 7.0 system.
    When I logged on to the Portal and accessed the Indexing Monitor(System Admin --> Monitoring --> Knowledge Management), the Status of indexes are red.  The indexed column displays values for the various indexes.  If I display the queue for the index, the queue Status is Invalid.  I launched the TREX 7.0 admin tool.  The indexes do show up however, the indexes do not show up in the Queue:Admin from the TREX admin tool.  The /usr/sap/<SID>/TRX<instance#>/queue directory is empty.
    Has anyone encountered this problem using the export/import script from TREX 6.1 to TREX 7.0?  We have single host installation.

    Hello Noemi,
    Please verify that user <sid>adm in the new TREX 7.0 server, is assigned to administrators group of windows local groups, then try again. In addition verify if you can open the file independently of python tool, this is with the windows zip tool.
    I'm having an error with import script too. I just sent a message to SAP Support so I wait for what they can tell me. This is the error detail if you can help me.
    Thanks and regards.

  • Opening zip fils and running

    hi can anyone please explain (in simple terms) how to open and run zip files.  recently  got some snes roms via rapidshare that were zips files but i cannot get them to open tried down dowloading the zip app from the extra repos. but nothing shows up after installing and when trying to open the files it still asks.. to open with..... oh btw my device is n900

    Okay, guys, here it goes. In my opinion, the easiest way to upload roms to your phone is to simply unzip / unrar them under windows or whatever OS you use and then to copy / move them to the phone. On the other hand, if you still wish to unzip them under Maemo, I have these 2 applications installed - "Unzip add-on for the File Manager" and "zip" and I am able to unzip archives (not sure which one of these 2 does the trick, but I have them both installed and at least one of them works ). You can download either snes roms or sega genesis / megadrive roms, it doesnt really matter since both the snes and the genesis emulators work great. It all depends on which game you would like to play (some snes games are not available for sega genesis and vice versa e.g. Shadow Dancer). Anyway, the best option you guys have is to simply download the already unzipped roms and just copy / move them to the phone, but have in mind that there are some archives containing all the different versions of each game (like European , USA , Asian) and you dont really need to have them all, since such archives will take couple of gigabytes from your storage. Well, I hope this info will help ya

  • Trex Upgrade: importHost_61_70.py does not work !!

    Hello,
    I am upgrading TREX server from 6.1 to 7.0 following SAP Upgrade Guide
    "Upgrade from TREX 6.1 to SAP NetWeaver 2004s TREX (TREX 7.0)".
    Old TREX system (6.1) is installed on machine called sapportaldes, and
    new TREX system (7.0) is installed on a separate machine called
    trexdesarrollo.inta.es (same operating system).
    I did the export in old trex system with script exportHost_61_70.py ,
    and It generated a zip file. Export was ok !!
    Then, I copied export zip file to the new trex system and execute
    importHost_61_70.py script.
    When I execute teh script, I get Windows pop up "Windows can not open
    this file",
    I am not able to import index on new trex server...
    Any idea¿?

    Soo, I'd like to speed up the disc speed a little and wondered if it was possible to use my FW800 external HD for running as my bootupdisc and working from that.......this Mini would fly if I could do this ...
    It's a G-Tech, Gdrive Q using a 500 Gb 7200 rpm Hitachi disc
    So, basically will it speed up my Mini if I use an external 7200 rpm HD as my system drive?
    Side question: If so,... The internal 120Gb, Is there a way to configure all this so I could still use the space on the 5200rpm (or is it 4200?) the Mini has inside ?
    thanks for looking
    kindest,

    Well, I thought that I was answering that question, that yes it can be done, yes it should be faster, and that yes, because of both things being true, I planned to do it myself later this month. But perhaps my English is not so good.
    The internal should show up on your Mac as a second attached HDD.
    As far as the 7200 rpm external FW 800 drive vs the stock 5400 rpm internal sata drive, Dan Frakes, senior MacWorld editor, had this idea tested and he says;
    Still, it’s worth noting that the relatively slow laptop drives used in the mini line remain among its limiting factors compared to a traditional desktop Mac. In fact, when we ran the same Finder tests on the $599 Mac mini while booted from a FireWire 800 drive, the results were notably better than with either stock mini; for example, our Finder Unzip Archive test came in at just 1:01 (compared to 1:19 and 1:41 for the two minis booted from their stock drives).
    That is why I am going to test using my miniStack as the boot drive when I get it later this month.
