ZIP files from PC

I have someone sending me ZIP files from their PC. How do I open them on my iMac ?

Hi Stefan
When I double click on a file I get a message asking me if I want to open the file and telling me that it will be opened with Zipeg (which I downloaded in an attempt to fix the problem). I say yes and it comes up with a Zipeg screen giving options to Open, Extract, Preview and Preferences. If I choose Open then it opens a dialog box but doesn't show any files. If I choose Extract, it tells me that is has extracted the files but doesn't show me where they are and doesn't open them. Preview isn't accessible and Preferences shows what you would expect.
I have noticed that the file extension on the zipped files is ODM and that doesn't seem to be one of the file extensions listed in Preferences. Perhaps that is the problem.
As it is, my friend is now sending me PDF files instead so perhaps I should just surrender, but it isn't really my thing, surrendering.

  • Read a zip file from Application server.

    Hi,
    Is there a way to read a zip file from the applicatoin server to internal table in ABAP program?  The operation system is running MS windows server.  The zip file contains only 1 text file.  I tried to use open dataset 'uncompress', and use read dataset, but read dataset gave me sy-subrc = 4.  Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    hi,
    to convert xstring to text you can use this:
    DATA unzipped_data TYPE xstring.
    DATA text_data TYPE string.
    DATA conv_x2c TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
    conv_x2c = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( ).
    conv_x2c->convert( EXPORTING input = unzipped_data IMPORTING data = text_data ).
    moreover, if you want to split your text at "end of line" (CR LF in microsoft windows) into lines:
    DATA text_lines TYPE TABLE OF string.
    SPLIT text_data AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf INTO TABLE text_lines.

    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.

  • How do I get a download zip file from firefox to my desktop

    I download zip files from different web sites and they go to the download folder in firefox, but I can't access them to open,unzip, or work with them on my computer offline. How can I move them from the download folder in firefox to my computer desktop?

    Hi,
    In order to open ZIP files, you have to download an app to enable the opening of the ZIP. Here's one you can use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.winzip.android
    Next, when you install that, open it and go to your Download directory. It should either be in sdcard0, sdcard, or sdcard1, then go to Download.
    Once you find it, touch and hold the file, then click '''Unzip here''' and it will extract the files in the ZIP folder.
    Let me know if this works!

  • Missing folder structure in zip file from Theme Editor

    Hi all gurus!
    I have an interesting problem with this background: I want to change the customer brand image in the portal header and do som other modifications. For this reason I have made a copy of one of the standard portal themes, as I'm supposed to do, and I have downloaded that zip file from the portal.
    When unzip this file i get the following files: its.zip, log.html, metadata.properties, portal.zip and upgrade.xml. As I have understood it that is the correct content. Now I'm supposed to unzip the file "portal.zip" and reach amongst other folders the one named "prtl". In this one there is a folder named "images" and under that one is "header" found and in THAT folder the change of picture is done.
    Now for the problem: when I unzip "portal.zip" I just get the content of some property file, NO folders what so ever! If I try to unzip "its.zip" I can see the folder structure under that folder!
    If I open the structure with Total Commander I can see the missing folders! But I can't do the copying of the image, the whole structre gets duplicated when I save! I thought the zip file was corrupt so I made another copy and downloaded it but with the same result!
    Has anyone had the same problem???
    Best regards
    Benny Lange

    Problem solved! By 7-zip. It was actually XP's integrated zip tool that just didn't show the underlaying structure. And Total Commander also did the work if used in the same way as 7-zip, but to edit the second level zip file directly did not work as TC opened that file in a temp directory instead of continuing at the level of the first zip file. That kind of editing directly in a file two zip levels down actually worked in TC 6.x but now I have 7.05 and perhaps things has changed.

  • Opening a zip file from Mail - what should happen?

    I've been using a Mac for a little under a week so bear with me...!
    I receive a zip file in Mail and I want to open it, so naturally I click on it. I get a "may contain an application" warning. I click "Open". A window briefly appears with an "Unarchiving" progress bar, then vanishes. And that's it!
    Is this expected behaviour, or has something messed up here (most likely me!)? I would expect some sort of helper application to open showing the zip contents maybe?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    Welcome to the discussions and to Macs!
    Zip has un-zipped the attachment contents into the place where the zip file was kept. Often that's a clever thing for it to do, but in this case the location is a place Mail chose rather than you!
    You might look in <home>/Library/Mail Downloads. If not, use Spotlight to search for the zip file by name. That directory will also hold the unzipped contents.
    Next time: Drag the zip file from the email to your desktop, then double-click it to unzip. The contents will show right up on the desktop too.
    Good luck,
    John

  • Opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal

  • Compress/zip files from the command line in Windows 7?

    In Windows 7 is there a native way to compress or zip files from the command line?  I'd like to do it without installing any third-party utilities such as 7Zip.

    I fully agree that Compact is not the answer. There are additional concerns with the Compact command. It enables disk compression which is a total no-no. Very bad! It makes your computer very slow and is quite difficult to undo. The only time anyone should
    use this command is when they're removing disk compression because someone turned it on to save space.  Turning this off has to be done by booting into the recovery console, if my memory serves me correctly, and it's a real nuisance.  So
    definitely no to the Compact command.
    If you wanted to compress files before sending them to another drive, or over a network, or by email, then Compact wouldn't actually help at all because the files have to get uncompressed whenever they're accessed, especially before sending them anywhere. 
    When I say accessed, I mean that just looking at a file triggers the OS to decompress it in the background and present you with an uncompressed version of it then letting you change it and recompressing it again for storage every single time you access the
    file, which is why your machine gets slower.  If you have folders or files that have blue text instead of black, then you've probably already made this mistake.
    I would also like to know if there is a built-in command for zipping files/directories, or, if there isn't such a thing built into Windows, then I would like to know if this is feature is accessible through Visual Studio, which would be just as good as having
    a command-line program for those of us that do a bit of programming.
    If anyone knows if MS provides such a feature, either by command-line or through an API, then I'd love to hear about it.  Good luck to those of you that have disk compression turn on.

  • Trying to link to a zip file from flash

    I am trying to link to a zip file from flash for my users to
    download. I can link to the file fine using get URL. The problem is
    on a PC I am having trouble with the users settings for blocking
    pop ups. If the user clicks one of the two links it works, if they
    then click the other, it blocks the download from happening?
    Works perfect on a MAC.
    Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    What does your code look like?
    getURL("/yourfile.zip") shouldn't create any pop-ups

  • How to Load OE Zip Files from C drive to Linux VM?

    I am running Windows 7 Professional, 8GB RAM, quad-core, 1.5 GHz, 560 GB hard drive.

    I downloaded Oracle Database Enterprise (OE) 11gR2 onto my C drive (two zip files, 32-bit).
    Now how do I install OE on Linux? (Can't figure out how to get it from my C dirve to the VM.)
    Please be as detailed as your patience permits.
    Thanks!

    Download WinSCP program. And connect to linux. There is left side and right side. The right side is linux side. And the left is windows side. Choose zip files from left side and press F5 key to copy to linux side.

  • Creating a zip file from the contents of a directory

    hi, I am having a problem as the title suggests with a zip fil creation...
    using the basic example zip.java i wished to edit it so it doesnt zip a file fro the current directory but rather a directory i inputted.
    It is able to read the first file then throws out the following error with the code below it:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: test.jpg (The system cannot find the file specified)
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.zip.*;
    public class Zip {
       static final int BUFFER = 2048;
       public static void main (String argv[]) {
          try
             BufferedInputStream origin = null;
             FileOutputStream dest = new FileOutputStream("C:/Documents and Settings/Phil/My Documents/My Pictures/Work/test.zip");
             CheckedOutputStream checksum = new CheckedOutputStream(dest, new Adler32());
             ZipOutputStream out = new
               ZipOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(checksum));
             //out.setMethod(ZipOutputStream.DEFLATED);
             byte data[] = new byte[BUFFER];
             // get a list of files from current directory
             File f = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/Phil/My Documents/My Pictures/Work/");
             f.listFiles();
             String files[] = f.list();
             for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++)
                System.out.println("Adding: "+files);
    FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(files[i]);
    origin = new BufferedInputStream(fi, BUFFER);
    ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(files[i]);
    out.putNextEntry(entry);
    int count;
    while((count = origin.read(data, 0,
    BUFFER)) != -1)
    out.write(data, 0, count);
    origin.close();
    out.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    After investigation i am lead to believe this is because the method returns an array of file and directory names only but not their path and the unqualified names would have therefore be defaulted to the current working directory. Something i understand if this is the case.
    So instead i used the File.listFiles() method to return an array
    of File objects, instead of an array of Strings as shown in the snippet of the changed code below (the changed code highlighted)...but arrived at another error on the second section of highlighted code meaning i cant compile. I cant understand why this is so!
    The error is: "cannot find symbol, Symbol: Contructor ZipEntry (Java.IO.file), location: class.java.util.zip.ZipEntry"
    File f = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/Phil/My Documents/My Pictures/Work/");
             **************File g[] = f.listFiles();***************
             **************String files[] = f.list();**************
             for (int i=0; i<g.length; i++)
                System.out.println("Adding: "+g);
    FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(g[i]);
    origin = new BufferedInputStream(fi, BUFFER);
    **************ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(g[i]);************
    out.putNextEntry(entry);
    int count;
    while((count = origin.read(data, 0,
    BUFFER)) != -1)
    out.write(data, 0, count);
    origin.close();
    out.close();
    Any help and thoughts most appreciated. Thank u in advance
