Why wont my Mac let me!?

I need to unzip some files, but my computer wont let me. I double click on it and the Archive app bounces at the bottom and lets me think Its unzipping it. In reality it is just converting it to a zip.cpgz file. Or someting similar

Click here and try using The Unarchiver.

  • Why wont my mac let me conect my ipone to it in iTunes

    Why won't my MAc compter allow me to connect any of my devices in iTunes?

    I am having the same problem. Are your devices running IOS 7? After I downloaded IOS 7 on my devices is when they were no longer recognized by my Mac computer with iTunes 10. You may have to download iTunes 11.1 (although I am not positive) but I am reluctant to do this myself because of all of the problems that people have been having with 11.1.

    Why wont my homesharing let me control the apple tv?

    Could be a hardware problem.
    First try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

    Hi Amitt_s,
    After you restored it to factory settings, did you restore as new or from a backup?  If it was from a backup, I'd try restoring as new to see if, without any of your previous data, the issue persists:

  • HT1338 Why wont my mac finish the software update?

    I just bought Snow Leopard for my mac and when it starts to install it only gets to the point where it says "46 minutes remaining" and then the disk stops reading. Its says to carefully clean the disk and I do, so why wont it finish? I just bought the disk and it cant completely read.

    Where did you purchase the disc from?
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
    Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.  Try upgrading again.  Repair permissions and restart your computer again and post the results.

  • Why wont my macpro let me install up dates

    why wont my macpro retna let me install updates ??

    If you have Mountain Lion, and are having problems downloading the 10.8.4 update, try going to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659 and download and install the Combo update...that sometimes works better than the Software Update approach.

  • Why wont Illustrator CC let me use Alt + Scroll on my mouse to zoom in and out smoothly?

    When i use Illustrator CS6 i am able to zoom in and out smothly by pressing my option key on my Mac and then scroll with my mouse. It wont let me do that in Illustrator CC, why not? Also i should not that this zoom does not use the zoom tool on the left hand tool bar.
    Thank you for any help.

    Did Option+mouse scroll ever zoom smoothly? (Wish it did.)
    For me it zooms in hops: 50, 66.67, 100, 150, 200 etc. same as when you click with the zoom tool.
    You can of course enter exact zoom %s at the bottom left of the Illie window but that’s not smooth either.

  • Why wont my mac mini recognize my wireless keyboard?

    Help! I just bought a mac mini and an apple wireless keyboard, but it wont recognize the keyboard.  I can do nothing towards registering my mac mini.

    I have the same problem.  My late 2009 mac mini just died three days ago.  I bought a new mac mini (late 2012 version) and am trying to hook all up and get going.  I have the monitor and mouse talking to the mac mini.  When I get to the keyboard screen I get nothing but an image of the side of a keyboard.  At first I received a passcode to input on the keyboard and hit return.  I did it and nothing happened.  The passcode appeared again and I entered it and again nothing.  I read to turn off the keyboard and start again.  I've donw this and now I don't even get the passcode option.  Just a screen with the side of the keyboard.  What shall I do.  Does it think it's paired with the 'dead' mac mini?  I read that I need a wiired keyboard to pair the two, but I was never told that and I do not have one.  Let me know what I should do next.

  • Why wont my mac turn on?

    I shut down my computer after upgrading traktor by Native Instruments. I came home and now my mac wont turn on. What could i do?

    Helixsquared,

  • Why wont my mac book not charge

    All of the sudden my computer will no longer charge.  I am trying to determine if the issue is my power cord which no longer provides a green charging indicator light.  Or the Battery since  the power indicator states "not charging".  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thank you

    There are more possibilities.
    - a bad contact; does it effectively charge, how is the small chargeibattery icon in the upper right side of Apple bat? does it effectively charge, even if LED is off? sometimes, LED contact may be broken, but charge goes on
    - chip does not detect the computer; I have one such charger, which behaves erratically, sometimes it charges, sometimes does not; no, not a contact problem, a chip problem.
    - charger damaged
    - magsafe port damaged
    - battery damaged
    One cannot say, you must take it step by step and isolate the issue: 1. connect another charger, just go to an Apple Center or ask a friend to let you test; 2. connect another battery; 3. connect your charger to another mac etc.
