What does "Decompression Failed" mean?

I downloaded an educational program and it says the decompression failed. What does that mean and does it mean I can't download the program successfully?

The application was probably fit into a smaller size package for faster downloading using a compression application such as Zip. There are many different compression schemes and yours had problems. Maybe it didn't know how to handle the file, or perhaps the file was corrupted during downloading. Try downloading the file again. You can also right click on a file's link to do the download and place it on your computer so you can do the decompressing separately by double clicking on it. If you still have problems then post the file extension here, the 3 letters after the dot at the end of the file name, e.g. .zip., .sit, etc.

  • What does 'Activation: failed' mean?

    After the reset that occurs when I attempted updating 4.4.1 to 4.4.2, I saw 'Activation: failed' in the general>about settings screen.
    Now after a little while, it is no longer there.  But, what does it mean, generally?

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    If on wifi try ethernet
    Make sure router has port 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)

  • What does 'Filter' Failed mean

    I did a forum search and did not find anything on point.
    I just pulled a Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400w printer out of storage. It has not been used in close to 6 years. Plugged into my MBP running Mountain Lion, and it could see the printer but did not have a driver.
    Minolta's web support for drivers is sketchy, and it looks like the last update of the driver was 2005. Since the vintage of the printer was the same, I tried it.  Was noted as the driver for OS X
    The printer installs and is visible to all apps, but when I go to print, the job gets stopped in the queue with a message saying 'Filter' failed.
    This is a new one on me. What gives? Is there a generic driver that might work?

    Checking the KM Australia web site, I can only locate drivers for Windows. It also mentions this model supporting PCL and Postscript, so you could try the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL Laser driver included with OS X.
    If these do not print then there is an alternate driver suite available via this link. Note that you have to install all three packages mentioned on the page.

  • What does call failed and call busy mean?

    I call my bf on Skype every time I see him on there and it rings and eventually it says call failed and sometimes it will say call busy, what does call failed and call busy mean?

    If a call is marked as "Call ended" does this guarantee the other person ended the call, or can it also mean the call disconnected or was dropped?
    Was talking with someone and at one point the "Call ended - call dropped". Few other times it was just marked as "Call ended", they have bad internet. So is it possible the "Call ended" means the call was dropped due to internet or were they for definite hanging up?
    Thanks
    Hi WuTom,
    From experience, it depends on the platform which you are using. In my case, my boyfriend is using Skype for iPhone and I am using Skype for Mac. Sometimes I find that the "Call ended - Call dropped" is the result of bad internet on my or his part. "Call Ended" on its own could mean one of two things, among others:
    1. A person accidentally touches the red end call button; or
    2. Skype crashes unexpectedly (either because of internet as you said or other issues such as flat battery)
    This is just from my personal experience, but I do hope it clears some stuff up for you.

    It just means that a TCP connection failed. Nothing to worry about, it can be caused by many things.

    What does the message mean time capsule already in use when it refueses to backup?

    Just the network is cranky..
    Simple first step.. restart the TC.. ie unplug the power cord.. count to 10.. plug it back in.
    Second step if that fails.. restart the network.. off everything.. restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.
    Finally if you are prepared to fight you can load 5.6 utility onto Mountain Lion and do a disconnect all users.. or a few other ways.. turn off file sharing and turn it back on.
    The issue being TM did not dismount the sparsebundle correctly.

  • What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    You've gotten 2 good answers already, but there's a key assumption in both that you got the message when connecting the iPhone to some other device. If this is the case you can get an adapter in the Apple online store that will allow charging from older devices.
    If, however, this message appears when you are not connected to anything the problem is dirt or moisture in the dock connector at the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a dry toothbrush or air blast.

  • What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." ?

    What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing."   I am in the process of importing photos from iPhoto (don't really know what I'm doing....) and when I look at one of the imported photos that message pops up.  I know what "DSC_0088.jpg" is.  I don't know what it means that the file is "missing".

    CASpyr,
    Thank you so much for your reply.  I have a couple of bigger issues that I am dealing with: too many photos on my laptop: 40,000! (Of course I have to throw away many of them, but that is time consuming). I have a MacBook Pro and have primarily used IPhoto. I have recently purchased 2 external drives and have transferred my photos to those, but I need a basic education about how photos are stored, copied, etc.  I have recently been told that iPhoto only shows and deals with jpegs, not RAW.  About 1/3 of my photos are RAW, so I purchased Lightroom, so I could do more with those RAW photos.  I have been told by my local Mac store that I need to delete most of my photos from iPhoto, because it's causing problems.  I am reluctant to do so until I am sure that all of the keywords, descriptions and editing I have done to these photos is not lost when deleted from iPhoto. I just watched a tutorial about importing to Lightroom and got out of it that I needed to copy photos from iPhoto to a file on my desktop and then copy to Lightroom.  I did that, it seemed to work.  Then (because of my storage/memory issues) I deleted the photos (just a few as an experiment) from that desktop file.  I'm guessing that is why Lightroom doesn't recognize the the photos.  It seems that (learned from another tutorial) that one uses "Add" , Lightroom is only connecting to the source of the photo, not  actually copying it to the program.  Sounds like I need to use the "Move" feature instead.  My ultimate goal is to store the photos on the 2 external drives and eliminate most of them from my lapop.  So my basic questions have to do with what data (metadata??) is copied from iPhoto to an external drive (RAW???) and what isn't copied. Basic understanding issues,obviously….  I hope this isn't too much to ask.  If you can recommend a book or resource that can explain those basic issues to me I'd appreciate it.  I just got back from a trip and I can't download my new photos until I manage the rest!
    Thanks,
    Nancy

  • What does this message mean - The operation can't be completed because the item "12b" is in use.

    The operation can’t be completed because the item “12b” is in use.  What does this message mean.  It appeared as I was attempting to clear my time machine backup?

    Reboot your machine make sure Aperture doesn't start (as Lion is liable to do) and try it.

  • What does this message mean? "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired"

    What does this message mean? "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired"  I get this when I try to repair permissions in disk utility.

    It's an innocuous error you can ignore. It was introduced with previous updates for ARD and/or Java before Lion. These are messages, not errors. They will cause no harm, and they will be repeated each time you repair permissions.

  • What does this message mean: "power pc applications are no longer supported"?

    What does this message mean: you can not start because power pc applications are no longer supported?

    Here is a post that I assembled for another who needed to continue to run his PowerPC applications in Lion/Mt. Lion:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions, or find alternative software that will open your data files;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.
