When I Download a .zip file Safari automatically opens it

I work with Joomla websites where I need the .zip files to stay zipped when I download them and the new version of Safari seems to open them by default. I can't find a preference to change it. Can you help?

Safari > Preferences > General > Open safe files after downloading.
without that checked, zips should just stay zipped... they do here.

Any way to disable the automatic unzipping when you download a zip file?

For example, say I want to download a .zip archive, and have it stay a .zip archive so I can upload it somewhere else.
The problem with re-zipping it is that I don't want it to be a Mac .zip file with bogus resource forks and DS_STORE files in it (for Windows users). Any zip file you create on a Mac usually has these bogus extra files inside it - confusing to Windows users. If I download a Windows .zip, I want to keep it as a .zip that was zipped on Windows, if you follow me.

Thank you! I was looking in the System preferences everywhere - did not think of Safari itself.
BTW, for anyone who cares, I also discovered that in Safari, even when you have the Preferences set to automatically unzip the files, you can override this by control-clicking on the file and choosing "Download Linked File as..."

Downloading attached zip file from emails using safari

How to download, and where will be the downloaded attached zip file in email be stored using safari? How to open and save the zip file attached to the email? Do you need an app to open and store the zip file?

The app GoodReader (I don't know if there are any free apps that can also do it) can be used to zip and unzip email attachments
press and hold the zip file in your email - after a couple of seconds you should get a popup, with one option being 'Open in GoodReader' which you should select
GoodReader should then open with the zip file listed under My Documents
select Manage Files on the right-hand side of GoodReader, select the zip file, and touch the Unzip button that appears on the right
You should also be able to download zip files directly into GoodReader by typing the URL in its Wed Downloads sectio.

Is there a way to stop downloaded files from automatically opening?

When I download unarchived image files through a web browser (eg: from yousendit) they automatically open up in Preview.app. I thought this was an annoying Preview thing so I changed my .tif and .jpg files to open with Photoshop...which now launches and opens the downladed files. Is there a way to supress this behavior?

If you're using Safari as your web browser go to "Safari -> Preferences...", select "General" from the toolbar and uncheck the "Open safe files after downloading" box.
Other browsers should have a similar setting in their prefs.

Not possible. Safari won't download and save a Zip file. You either had to use a 3rd party app, or as wjosten suggests, your phone is jailbroken. If the former, you'll need to use that app to find it. If the latter, you'll have to look elsewhere for assistance.

iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

Firefox insists on downloading a zip file with an application. Options is set to ask for download loaction but does not work

When downloading a ZIP file I get a 'Launch Application' window.
In Options I have set download to ask for a location and use the download window but this does not work.
cannot find any way of changing this and there is no option for using an application.
If I down load in IE I have no problems so it must be FireFox and not a system problem.

I have found the problem.
A download manager had been installed for a specific website and it was butting in all the time. Even after removing it with 'Add or remove software' it still had its hooks into the system and it was impossible to download anything as it now would not run.
Had to do an XP 'System restore' before I could get rid of it.
The offending program was MD_setup.exe size 3,045KB from the themediadownloader.com

Can't download the zip file

I have been trying to download the zip file all day today and keep getting a "Page Cannot be displayed". Is the file available today?

Hi,
You can download a zip file like any files with the Webclient class, look at the details and examples in the msdn documentation for downloading content on demand it even talks about how to download and get a specific file from a zip archive.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189021(VS.95).aspx
Besides, if you want to list the files,you could check articles below:

Problem on downloading a zip file

I am having a problem on downloading a zip file(file size is about 2Mb). Sometimes I can get a complete file and can open the file, sometimes the zip file is chunked(the file size is smaller than the right one), so I can't open it.
The file content is stored in a blob field. The code first goes to database get the blob as inputstream, then copy the inputstream into response.getOutputStream().
The problem is unpredictable. Even for the same blob data, sometimes I can get working file, sometimes I just get crapped file.
Could somebody help me out? I am struggling with it.
Any input is appreciated!

    private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(DownloadTextAction.class);

        ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
        String batch_id = (String)request.getParameter("batch_id");
        String fileName = batch_id+".zip";

          response.setContentType("application/download");
//        response.setContentLength(content.length());
//          response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\""

          response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""
                    + fileName + "\"");
          InputStream in = untilService.getBlob(batch_id);
          OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
          FileHelper.copy(in, out);
          out.flush();
          in.close();
          out.close();
        catch (Exception e)
          errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("error.detail", e.toString()));
          saveErrors(request, errors);
          log.error(e.toString());
        return mapping.findForward(Constants.SUCCESS);
    }

Maybe a fault in the missing FileHelper.copy() method?

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

No luck trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files

Hi,
I am trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files from the Toshiba website, but I'm having no luck.
I am trying to deploy images using WDS on server 2008 and need the inf files for this to succeed, does anyone have the answer to this problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this tip:
Someone wrote this:
+You have to run the installer, wait for it to get to the first point where you click Next to continue, and then leave it sitting there. Go into your system's Temp and find the particular one with the installation files inside it that were extracted, then copy it someplace, go back to the installer and cancel it.+
You could also try this freeware application to extract the package:

Finder crashed after downloading a zip file with pictures

First my desktop icons disappeared. Then the finder, appears and disappears every 3 seconds. Simultaneously the Finder also disappears and reappers in the "Force Quit Application" window. This started after I downloaded a zip file with family photos from a friend (on a windows machine). Rebooted off the Tiger installation dick. Running disk utility off the Tiger installation disk did not help. Permissions were repaired but the finder is still crashing Tried relaunching the Finder from the "Force Quit Application" window. No help. Ran Virex (outdated by 12 months) without any benefit.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There's a shameful glitch in Finder where if you drag certain attachments off a mail document onto the Desktop the Finder will do its quit/relaunch jitter bug--will also do it for illegally named files on the Desktop, and will hang for dang near forever it you accidently drop 100s of files onto the Desktop. The easy solution is to start the affected machine in target disk mode, hook it up by firewire to another Mac, then navigate to the affected user's Desktop folder and move the funky file or files into a new folder.

Need to download MDM71500_ENRICHMENT_CONTROLLER.zip file for EC scenario.

Hi All,
Does anybody can tell me that where I can find SP05.ZIP file to download?
I need to download MDM71500_ENRICHMENT_CONTROLLER.zip file object for an enrichment scenario.
And SP05.ZIP file is not available in SMP(SP 02, 03 ,04 ZIP files and SP 05.SCA files are available in SMP).
Regards,
Nirmala.

Hi Nirmala,
Since SP05 release, The Enrichment Controller isn't delivered as a ZIP file. The content is now divided. The EC deployment file is located where you suggested (in the EC application download section) and the rest of the package is delivered with MDM business content package and it contains the simulator repository and all the extra content for the Customer and Vendor repositories, in addition you can find there the sample XML and matching XSD files. if you intend to develop an adapter you'll be able to find a sample adapter as well.
Best Regards,
