When I try to open a zip file, I get a message that state operation not permitted. What do I do to correct this?

I've retrieved a download application in zip file format. During download, a message appears that states decompression failed. When I try to open the file, I get a message that the operation is not permitted. How do I correct this situation?

Make sure the place you are downloading the zip file isn't using a password protected zip file.
What operating system are you using?
Have you installed any decompresison software, or are you using the system built-in software?
Where are you downloading the application from?
Is your data backed up?
Are you using any firewall software or system optimization software, or any browser addon software?

When I try to open a pdf file I get the message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I've downloaded the latest reader, but that has made no difference. I use a Mac 10.8.2. Any suggestions or info?

Does this happen with every PDF file or a specific one ? Maybe the file is really damaged.

As Excel is not an Apple product, I believe you will get more useful help by using Microsoft's support community for Office:Mac here:
Office for Mac forums
They are as active and helpful as these, and sometimes employees from the MS Mac Business Group are available for helping.
Be sure to show which version of Office:Mac you have when posting there. It can make s difference in advice offered.

When I try to load the new firefox, I get a message that I do not have certain priveleges.

You keep tempting me with updates. I run 4.0b8. When I try to put it in my application folder, I get the message that I do not have certain privileges.

If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

When I try to open a Pages file, I get a "need to upgrade" from 4.3. When I try to download it, I get the message "installed" and that's the roadblock. What to do, what to do?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks. Now, when I try to open a Pages file, I get a message that I must upgrade Pages from 4.3. When I click to download, I get a message "installed." I'm going around and around: Need to install; it's already installed. TIA.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened by newer Pages versions anywhere, is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

When i try to open the iPhoto app, i getting a message "you can't open the application because it is not supported on this type of mac"

when i try to open the iPhoto app, i getting a message "you can't open the application because it is not supported on this type of mac"

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.
