Why have files on zip drive quit opening?

Why did I suddenly quit reading files from my zip drive?

Even if you are using Adobe's software to open files from a ZIP drive, this query is more relevant for the community of the ZIP drive manufacturer or for that of the supporting OS.

  • How do i download and e-mail from a zip drive without opening the file

    How do I download and e-mail data from a zip drive without opening the file?

    Hi.
    If you have a Zip drive, you can handle the file as you would any other file. Copy and paste.  Drag and drop. Select and attach as an email attachment.
    Zip drive data discs came in two capacities, 100MB and 250MB. So the largest files would not exceed those capacities, depending on the media from which they are pulled.
    The trick, I should think, would be finding a working drive that can read the media... and hope that media is not corrupted. Zip media was notorious for failing.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why have file sizes in Pages increased since upgrading to latest version?

    Hi, I use Pages to compose a monthly newsletter for my yacht club. For that purpose I preferred it to Word because it was so easy to add, resize and position photographs. Before circulating the newsletter to club members, I convert the file to PDF format using the print as PDF option. Last year I was able to put 25 or so photos along with text over 5 pages and finish with a file size of less than 5 MB, which is about as big as I can send without dozens being bounced by members' email filters. Since upgrading my Mac to "Mountain Lion" (and then to "Mavericks") and upgrading Pages, I can't include more than 7 or 8 photos on 2 pages without going over my 5 MB limit. The finished file size seems to be two or three times the combined file sizes of the photos that I include.
    Any suggestions for reducing file size? I already use as low a photo resolution as I can.

    Peter - thank you so much for this very helpful reply. I had assumed that having "upgraded" I would be condemned to putting up with the Pages 5. I would never have thought of looking in the iWork folder for an older version. Needless to say I can't use Pages 09 to open documents written in pages 5 - but that's no loss. I note that January's newsletter was a hefty 15.5 MB in size, whereas December's, which contains more pages and many more photos was only 2.5 MB.
    Thanks again.
    Fruhulda - I look forward to reading more of the discussion of the last few months. Being new to the forum it may take me some time to find it.

  • Why do files converted to Word not open on Mac?

    I am a new user, and have just converted a PDF to Word, on Mac (using Open Office). The message I'm getting says the file may be corrupt, OO tries to fix but fails, and I get Error message.
    The original is a scan of a Greek text. Is the problem with the language?

    We need to know what the original document was (Word, Excel...etc). Also, how are you saving to pdf?

    You're in the Adobe Acrobat Reader forum which is a free product. Would you accept a check or money order for your refund?

  • 25 Pin SCSI ZIP Drive; Any way to connect?

    I have an external, 25pin SCSI, Iomega ZIP 250, which is fine with my Beige machines but can't use with my G4.
    I believe I'm resigned to firing up the Beige, and transfering data from the ZIP 250's to CD's.
    Any other ideas?
    Thx,
    David

    T.P. and T.B. :
    Thanks for the replies.
    "Adaptec 2906 SCSI card..."
    Yeah, that does sound risky. (Anybody wanta buy an Adaptec 2940? I feel like an idiot buying that one...lol.)
    "...Save yourself the headache and get a USB Zip drive..."
    Sounds reasonable since I have 5-6 ZIP 100's and 4-5 ZIP 250's with data already on them. Of course, then I'd have four Iomega ZIP drives...LOL. (Don't ask why I have two ZIP 100's and one ZIP 250 drives. And they're so cheap on Ebay, I don't even bother trying to sell em.) But they are handy for small data saves/backups; as opposed to CD's.
    The 1G flash drive sounds interesting; but ...see above.

  • Is there a way i can backup my itunes library to a zip drive?

    i have an iomega zip drive and 250mb zip disc and i didnt know if theres a way to backup my itunes library to my zip drive.since i'v spent a lot of money on songs from itunes music store and dont want to lose them if my computer gets an virus or a glitch and erases my songs.now i know i can put my songs to an cd but i dont know how to that and if an cd can hold 150 songs and 11.1 hours since that how many songs and hours i have on my itunes.so can some one please tell me how to backup my itunes library to a zip drive or if i even can.
    thanks in advance.

    If your tracks will fit on a Zip drive, yes, you can use a Zip to back up. A CD holds about 650MB, so a 250MB Zip disk will hold less than half what a CD will. Just locate the tracks in your iTunes Music folder and drag them onto the Zip. You can use multiple disks if you have more tracks than will fit onto one Zip disk.
    Zip disks are notoriously unreliable, though - as bad or worse than floppy disks - so it wouldn't be my first choice for a backup medium. Of the couple of dozen Zip disks I used to own, over 75% of them eventually failed.

  • What is the oldest PS file type that can be opened in CS5?

    I have a lot of work that was created in PS 7.0. I want to get the latest version. What is the oldest file type that can be opened in CS5?

  • I am a college student. I am trying to open lesson files my professor downloaded to my zip drive.

    I am a college student. I am trying to open lesson files my professor downloaded to my zip drive. Every time I try to open one, I get the following message "The file "Lesson01(1).zip" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened." What does this mean? I am working on a PC. Is the problem that my professor gave me files that are only compatible with a MAC?

    ?Hi John,
    I have tried to do this several times since receiving your message. I still cannot get anything to work. I am wondering if these folders are in a MAC format and perhaps that is the reason I cannot get it to work.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • How can two users work on iMovie?  My husband is working on a memorial video for a family member who passed, I plan to edit but he had to take his computer to work.  I have the iMovie project on a zip drive.  How do I get it to open in my imovie?

    You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
    Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

  • My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8.

    My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8. I have tried updating to mavericks through the mac app store but after it downloading for a day i got an error message saying there was a problem with the download. The same thing happens if i try to update itunes or the mac app store. After research, i have also tried repairing disk permissions, but every time they do get repaired the 'repair' button still appears, i'm not sure if it's because it was unable to repair the initial problems or if it just keeps detecting new ones.

    2 GBs is a minimum in which you can do many things, but not concurrently. Be very careful to not install third-party add-ons, limit the number of applications you choose to enter in Login Items, run as few applications concurrently as you demand.
    I would consider adding more RAM to your computer. Your model supports 8 GBs, so I would install that.

  • I have files on iomega zip discs from 10 years ago, but no longer have a zip drive.  I can buy one second hand at a reasonable price, but I don't know if it would be compatible with my MacBook pro.

  • How can i open Mac formatted zip drive files on my pc

    i have been given some zip drive discs which have been Mac formatted...how do i open these on a pc...is there any software i can install on my pc to read these formatted zip drive discs??

    Hi Stuart,
    you can also have a look at HFSExplorer: http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html
    At the moment however it can only read not write to Mac drives.
    But it is free and maybe sufficient.

  • I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8.  When downloading "some" files to my computer, these files become "zip files."  When I open the zip file, it produces a document in some coding language. How can I open the file to produce a legible document?

    I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8 and 4GB of expanded memory.  When downloading "some" emailed documents, the downloaded file becomes a "zip file," which when opened looks like a coded message.  How can I open the "zip file" so that it produces a legible document?  Please, help!!  thank you!!!

    A "zip file" is a compressed file. "Zipping" in principle does not and cannot change the contents. So that if the contents before zipping are garbage, or unreadable on a Mac, when you expand the file you will get garbage or an unreadable file.
    The first thing to verify therefore is whether the file, before it was zipped, was in a "Mac friendly" format. Can you do that?
    You do not need an App to zip or unzip. These functions are built in on our Macs.
    And yes, zipping and unzipping using the built in functionality, work fine in OS 10.6.8. And 10.7 and 10.8 and 10.9.
