Zip archives won't open on E90

I have tried various zip archives, and without exception they do not open, with an error saying the file is corrupt. Both supplied zip program and Handy Zip do this.
Nokia support recommended restarting the phone, which I did, but no difference. Everything else works, as far as I can see, and the firmware is up-to-date. I don't think it is worth taking it to a service point, as this would waste time, and I am sure the phone is fine.
I transferred the archives from Mac OS X (v10.4.11) using bluetooth. All other files transfer properly.
Any ideas?
I can't get iSync to work either, but can transfer files using the bluetooth file manager on the Mac.

I found a fix, using one of two utilities (one free, one 3.99) from the App Store.

Zip archive won't unzip

Hi all!
I made an archive of a rather large file full of movies, then I stupidly deleted the original, because I thought "hey, I have an archive of it." Now the file will not unarchive. It goes through every file in the archive, then gets to the end and an error pops up. It says:
Unable to unarchive "Movies.zip" into "External HD".
(Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)
So I tried to unzip the file from the terminal, and it gave me this:
dlvs-computer:~/Desktop DLV$ unzip Movies.zip
Archive: Movies.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of Movies.zip or
Movies.zip.zip, and cannot find Movies.zip.ZIP, period.
This doesn't make much sense to me. Please help! I want this file back (and I will never make another zip file in my life, I swear to god).

you can try to change utility to open the archive.

Zip file won't open

I have lost a few photos transfering files from the macbook g3 iphoto to the aluminum macbook and iphoto 8.0.4. The info (name, size, date) are visible but no photo. I was short of space in the ibook so I backed up iphoto on a thumb drive and 'archived it' into a .zip file. This file will not open in the macbook. (Error 1 operation not allowed). The file is 516 mb zipped. The ibook has 1.75gb available on 10 gb HD but part way thru the unarchiving process it announces the startup disc is almost full and then the ibook screen goes black. Any idea how to get at this data.

Some of the issues you relate to may have something to do with
the differences in iPhoto versions and the possibility of their being
not so directly compatible when moving images the way have did.
The compressed file should be transferred unopened to a larger
external hard disk drive or somewhere the file can be put on to
a DVD or other media, should the lack of free space in which
to open & view the compressed file be a problem in a hard drive.
Although it may not help the situation, there also are other
unarchiver software types out there which could also open
the compressed file; but only if there is adequate space in
the location (or another location can be selected) to do so.
The Unarchiver - an alternative to BOMArchiveHelper. app:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/theunarchiver.html
The problem sounds more complex, perhaps, than it is;
or maybe it really is complex due to how you have made
this archive of the iPhoto image library from the older
iBook (? you say Macbook G3) and its iPhoto version.
Accessing the jpg images should be relatively easy if they
are not messed up in some odd copy of the actual iPhoto
version from the older OS. This is where your description
is a bit lost on me. There is a way to make backups and
also copies of the iPhoto libraries themselves; but there
have been some issues (supposedly addressed) in how
older iPhoto images were seen - or not, by the newer
version of iPhoto.
If there is not enough free space in a computer to open
a large compressed file (and run the apps, swap files
and other Virtual Memory the computer needs to work)
then the file should be opened elsewhere.
A computer's hard disk drive, where the system resides,
should never be more than 80% full. Mine are 50% full.
Backups to DVDs of images, music and other works in
progress could be made to safeguard them. Some types
of libraries may not be the best way to do this; in the case
of my own images, I do not use iPhoto. My jpg and other
images are saved by date into folders, by year; any edits
are saved in their own folder in the date folder, direct from
the camera into a new folder on the desktop. One of my
favorite apps is ToyViewer for image editing, a freeware.
{My edits also are not very complex since I try to duplicate
my skills as a film photographer, in the new digital world.
Photoshop & other alterations take away from experience.
If I were to take 10 hours painting my images fantastic, I
could hardly justify not just taking up fine art. I can do it.
Simple resizings, rotations and rename images= editing.}
Please explain in more detail about the way the image in
the older computer were archived, and where; and what
they were a part of. I don't know if I understand correctly.
PS: If the image file you compressed (assuming it is only
images and not part of the older iPhoto app) you could
try to see if using FireWire target disk mode could be used
to get the files direct from the iBook hard drive into another
computer; not sure what MacBook you have, some new
ones lost the FireWire ports. The compressed file could
be moved from iBook to another computer & opened there.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mac zip files won't open in Windows PC

I have been right clicking and compressing raw .mov video files to send from the UK to Australia via wetransfer. I am using a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. Each set of zipped files is between 3GB - 8GB in size and they (compress) and zip and send fine. But my client is on a Windows PC and only now tells me they are having problems opening the "zip" files I have sent them. They get the message that the zip is "invalid". Any ideas what can be wrong here? I tested them on my Mac by reopening and they work file.
Many thanks in advance.

Step one would be to try them on a local windoze box. That should give you some indication of what might be wrong. Alternatively, try the Terminal command gzip. Read about it by typing in man gzip in a Terminal window and then pressing the return key.

I've tried the unarchive app andthat hasn't worked either...what shall I do?
Thanks in advance :-)

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.

IDVD 6 archived project won't open

I've created and burnt an iDVD6 project to DVD. I then archived (File>Archive project) the project (8.49GB) but afterwards it won't open (either by double-clicking or from iDVD>File>Open or from the splash window "Open an Existing Project") in iDVD6. I've done checked/repaired permissions but no good. I tried opening it in iDVD 5 but won't open either.
any ideas appreciated

I've created a new iDVD6 project from scratch PAL wide screen to standard DVD5 size, saved the project file and saved the project as an archive (21GB). I've got two movies (one is around 59' and the other is an iPhoto slideshow exported as a QT movie of about 10'. All up the image comes in at 4.1GB after compression.
Here's a few scenerious I've tried:
(1) When I double-click in the Finder either the project or the archive files I simply get the iDVD6 'splash screen' menu becomes foremost/active but the file doesn't open. Sometimes I get two splash screen menus one overlaid directly on top of the other, but is modal and I get a system beep if I try to access the lower one. Doesn't happen every time but fairly often. Don't know what invokes it.
(2) If I open iDVD6 and at the splash screen: I choose Open an Existing Project and select the project file. The file opens and then the splash screen comes foremost with the proj file behind but I can't select it and get the system beep if I try.
(3) In iDVD6 I can open the project file normally from File>Open but the archive won't open from File>Open. Sometimes I get a "loading themes" progress bar and that's it.
I've checked ownership privs/perms and applied Other rwx to all just in case. Still no good
I'm going to try taking the archive across to my PBG4 1.67GHz laptop to see what happens there

Why cant I open Zip Archive made with Mac?

I made several Zip archives of some of my photographic files, but when I try to open them I get message that I do not have permission or an error occurred. I have tried Apple's Archive Utility, Stuffit Expander and recently The Archiver with no success. Can anyone help me unarchive these as I have lost the originals on an external drive that became corrupted. I only archived the files in case of this happening, but now rely on opening these or loosing hundreds of photographs. There is data there, because only after unzipping the files, which takes a long time, do I get the 'permissions' message with Apple Archive Utility. If I used MediaRecover, or similar, can I get at the files this way? Thanks in anticipation of an answer to a frustrating situation. I have read through the discussions on this topic but can't find an answer? Chris

Mac OS X (and any Unix system) makes use of Disk and file permissions,
if you don't have sufficient rights on one of these, the you won't have permission to open it.
since it works as:
file permissions+disk permissions=actual permission
for example:
no access+read/write=no access
select the archive and press cmd+i (or from the menu use file->get info)
and take a look under "sharing and permissions"
you see a list ordered like this:
<user name> <permissions>
if you want to extract a archive changes are you need permissions to modify it
so make sure the permissions are like this:
<your user name> read and write
if you can extract them, make sure the permissions for the files are at least "read" for your account then you should be able to open them (but you probably want "read and write")

Issues, iphoto won't open after archive install.

Hi there, got issues here. Previously I had accidently deleted a very important file in private/var/ and had to do a archive install. The shop swapped out my original 500 GB and put in a 2 TB. Great, turned it on, everything looks good. However, couple things not going so well. My pro apps aren't working but thats in another thread and now, I went to open iphoto and it won't open, says:

No I do have a back up Its kinda long to explain but last a little over a week ago, i delete a important file in my private/var folder and screwed up my computer. Worst part was I didn't run time machine for almost a month that way all my pics that I did bring on weren't backup up. i know this sounds careless but normally does happen like this. Anyway I had to take my imac into to get it fixed and the only way to do it without losing all my data was to do an archive and install and of course my drive was full so they had to swap it out and they put in a 2 TB and ya, so now I am where I am at. Everything is here but got pro app and iphoto issues. I guess worst case scenario if something does go wrong on the install I kinda do have a back up as the old drive can be put into a enclosure and used as a HD but I guess it is a bootable drive so I don't know if it would mount properly. Thanks for you help though/ Really Appreciate it.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Keynote (6.2) file won't open. Can I make a new Index.zip file using some of the extracted .iwa files?

Keynote (6.2) file won't open (hung and crashed during auto-OS update). Trying to salvage everything possible. I know about grabbing the pictures from Data folder, but is there a way to extract the good .iwa files and make a new Index.zip?
Tried extracting, capturing uncorrupted .iwa and deleting corrupted ones, but can't figure out how to re-compress to readable format for Keynote. Seems silly that I can't ge the new .zip file to work. There has to be some sort of manual work-around, yeah?
Thanks.

This problem has been reported to the AppleWorks team, but I doubt that we will ever hear if there is a fix. AppleWorks 6 is now nearly 6 years old & hasn't even had an update since March, 2004.
Nothing has been found to be able to make AppleWorks 6.2.9 open the problem files. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, including the OS 8/9 component 6.2.8. If you have the retail version of AppleWorks & have Classic installed, you can "Force" AppleWorks 6 to open in Classic to open the files, save them as AW 6 files & then open them in the OS X version. You do want to make sure you don't have both the Classic & OS X versions of AppleWorks 6 running at the same time. I find it much easier to use AppleWorks 5 in Classic to open & save the files. AppleWorks 6.2.9 has no problem opening AppleWorks 5 files.

Archive saved from Safari, file full, won't open in Safari

I had a page open, and saved it as an archive from Safari 3.2.1 on a dual G4.
There's data in the archive file, looks fine, but it won't open in Safari - a new tab appears, but the page never fills with any data...
Any ideas?
Thanks

5.1 is buggy, and the Apple Support Software also has to be uninstalled - and downgraded.
Better off with 5.0.x for now.
There are a dozen threads+ about 5.1s issues.
You can also expect some extensions and plug-ins could also be trouble.
And manually clean out every sub folder in AppData with Safari (prefs, history, web, etc) when moving to a new version. Same with Firefox 5/6/etc
I'd make sure to use CCleaner 3.09 and make sure that cleans Safari.

I have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that are emailed to me. It just says zip archive when I click on the jpg. Help?

I Have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that emailed to me. It just says Zip archive when I click on the JPG file to download it. Help?

whoever is emailing you the photos is sending them as a .zip file not a .jpg most likely because there is more than one photo. unfortunately iPhone does not have a .zip file reader so whoever is emailing the photos has to make sure they are not zip ing them and resend them as .jpg files. (usually gmail tries to convert several images into .zip files)

Adobe Won't Open Zip files

I have Mac Book Pro running OS X 10.9.2. In either Google or Safari, Adobe will not open zip files saying they are not supported or the file is damaged. Have checked the plugins on Google and enabled Flashplayer and reader. I have managed the website settings on Safari to enable Adobe Reader. Quicktime is up to date.
All suggestions will be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.

Select a .zip file, select "Get Info" from the Finder menu and change the setting for zip files to always open in "Archive Utility.app":
After you select that default application, make certain that you select "Change All."

IPhoto won't open after Archive and Install

Recently, my macbook won't boot up so I had to perform and Archive and Install. Now iPhoto won't open and therefore, I have no access to iPhoto Library. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have iLife '08 with me and my restore CDs would have the previous version of iPhoto on it. Would it be impossible to revert to an older version of iPhoto? If I delete the Previous Systems folder, will it affect this problem more (as I have only 5 gb of free space)? (Btw, I am update to date on Tiger updates)
Thanks,
munky11

My guess is that there is part of the iLife install in the Previous System Folder and you're going to need to re-install iLife 08.
Yes you can re-install v6 (or whatever is on your System Restore disks) but v6 will not open an iPhoto 08 library. You would need to create a new v6 library and that would entail losing all your edited versions, albums, books, keywords etc.

Windows fails to open Samba ZIP archives with names over 8 characters

I have an XServe running OS X Leopard in Advanced mode. It is running Samba in order to provide file sharing services to Windows clients within our network.
I have Vista running in VMWare Fusion, accessing a file-share on the Leopard server via Samba. I have stored a .exe file and a .zip file on the share. When I try to access these files, I am able to successfully access the .exe but not the .zip.
The error I receive (upon attempting to open the ZIP archive) is:
"Windows cannot open the folder.
The Compressed (zipped) Folder 'Z:\1234abcde.zip' is invalid."
Sometimes copying the file to the local desktop succeeds (allowing me to open the file from there) and sometimes it fails with a message about an "invalid file handle".
If I shorten the name of the zip archive to only eight characters (plus .zip) everything works. The executable, which also has a long name, never presents any problems (I am able to double-click and run it, as well as copy it).
I have no problem accessing these files locally on the server or from a Mac OS X Leopard client (via Samba or AFP).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Erik
