I got emailed a file and want to play it in itunes but it is a zip and it will "open" in itunes but it is not in itunes

Use an unzip utility such as WinZip and open and extract the file from within the application.

  • .zip files opening with iTunes

    When I double-click a .zip file, it opens in iTunes. How do I get it to unzip?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums!
    Highlight the .zip file, do a Get Info on it, look for the Open with triangle, select Othere, find BOMArchive Helper in...
    /System/Library/CoreServices/BOMArchiveHelper.app
    Stuffit will work too, then click the Change All button.

  • Hi!  I have downloaded a ready-made website and I can't seem to open it.  The "theme" install instructions are talking about a "zip" file which I cannot see.  Would anyone know why I can't open it?  PLEASE HELP!!   Thanks!

    Hi Everybody
    I have downloaded three "ready-made" websites for me and it is supposed to have Wordpress in as well.  I can see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them.  It refers to a "zip" file which I don't see nor a "dmg", only a blue folder.   Can anyone help me to figure out how to get this open and set up on my computer?  I guess you can tell I'm new and very frustrated.  Thank you!

    It's not clear what you mean by 'see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them', although it seems possible that a zip file opened/unzipped to create them.
    Perhaps if you include a screenshot, and/or a link to the site where you got these, and describe exactly what happens when you try to open a folder that won't open.

  • Unable to open/install a zip file get adobe reader error

    Are you double clicking on a Zip file when you get this message? If so, you need to set your file associations so that the proper application opens them.

  • Calendar portlet - bad zip file

    Please replace the zip file for the calendar portlet. CRC error - premature end of file reached.
    Thanks.

    Sue,
    I've downloaded the Calendar portlet - June PDK. I am using WinZip 8.0
    The zip file opens, however when extracting the contents I get:
    "Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset(Error local header signature not found): disk #1 offset:97."
    "Error in file #2: bad Zip file offset(Error local header signature not found): disk #2 offset:567." ... and it shows missing header signatures for the rest of the files. I've just downloaded the calendar portlet again (12:45PM EST) and I get the same message. I have tried that on 5 different computers and I get the same message. The test shows that the archive is OK, but when you attempt to extract the files you get the error messages above.
    --George
    P.S. I've tried extracting the files with WinAce and WinRar and I get the same errors.

  • OSX Zip files not readable by PC

    The brilliant Compress feature isn't working on the other end - won't work on PCs - or possibly these PC users are just idiots. LOL
    At firs they said they could not open it - now, they are telling me -
    "After downloading the file and then extracting the file, I get an empty folder called, "_MACOSC""
    The zip file opens perfectly here. So is the OSX Compress feature useless for going to other platforms? Should I just use Stuffit or something else so it can be simple enough for PC guys to be able to use?

    Sorry fore the delay in getting back... holidays and all.
    Are you sure you are mailing attachments with the "Windows Friendly Attachments" checked?
    They would have been uploaded/downloaded through Google docs as a Zip file. Regardless, AFAIK Zip should be universal and not needing a "windows" box, but will keep an eye on that in future uses of OSX Mail. Thanks!

  • Since 10.8 problems to expand zip-files

    if I use stuffit expander it will works fine.
    Is there anybody with same problems?
    regards
    Edgar

    I have occasionally had that problem myself.
    Are any of the ZIP files password-protected? See here.
    For me, most ZIP files open undamaged with Archive Utility. But when I encounter a problem like yours, I simply re-open with StuffIt Expander. They are not all password-protected; varies with source.
    Recommend sending feedback to Apple.

  • I receive many e-mails with zipped files.  In the past few weeks I can no longer open them as I used to.  I get a window welcoming me to the Application Loader.  ( What is an Application Loader?)  It says I need my iTunes Connect login, but when I try my

    I receive many e-mails with zipped files.  I can no longer open or unzip my files. A window welcoming me to Application Loader drops down.  It prompts for an iTunes Connect login, but will no accept my iTunes login. I have no way to open or unzip my files. Help!!!!

    Application Loader, unless there's another one I'm not familiar with, is part of the iOS SDK. That have usurped the .zip, or you may have removed that application but your Mac is still holding onto the mapping of Zip files to that application. Select a .zip file in Finder, Get Info, and go to the Open with section. Select Archive Utility and click Change All. That should fix the problem.

  • What to do with phoney iTunes gift cert Zip File? (After I opened it)

    I foolishly opened the Zip file that came along with an email claiming to be an iTunes gift certificate (iT6561.zip).
    I trashed the attachment, and emptied the trash. when I recognized my mistake. But, because i opened it first, I'm worried the next time I open iTunes, my iTunes account information will be stolen.
    How do I get rid of the, now unzipped file that is lurking around in my system? (A spotlight search doesn't locate it). How do protect my iTunes account info next ime I open iTunes?
    If this should be in a different discussio, please let me know where it should.
    Any help is appreciated.

    The tunes that are on the desk top - will they play in iTunes without moving them OR do you get the (!)?
    The thing to be aware of it that the iTunes Library and the iTunes Music Library.xml are what keeps track things for iTunes and other apps. These files by default are in HD>user>User Account>Music>iTunes. If they get moved then iTunes will create 2 new files and all you old info is gone.
    If you are getting the you can try to put the tunes that are on the desktop back into the iTunes Music folder and see if iTunes will find them again.
    If not, then you need to add those tunes that are on the desktop - but not in library. Once ALL the tunes are in one place then you should be able to delete the extras.
    Don't delete the purchased tunes without having a backup of those tunes. iTMS is clear about the download policy. It is a one time download.

  • Can't open a zip file (Library Download)

    Okay, I am so out of my depth that I don't even know if this is the correct community to post this question. Mea culpa if it isn't.
    For the first time, I am using my local library's digital download service to "borrow"  HP&Deathly Hallows. (We listened to the first 6 books on cassette, which shows how long we've been listening to Jim Dale.) I've been on the waiting list for about two and finally got the notice yesterday. It said I had 3 days to download it.
    So I log in and used Firefox to download it. I get a zip file of HarryPotterandtheDeathlyHollowsUS.odm into my downloads folder. Then I attempt to open it. The default is "Archive Utility" which opens up for about a second. And then nothing. I try it again. I try "The Unarchiver" off the App Store. Try it some more. Still nothing. Nadda. I look in the Finder's "Downloads" folder and there are a whole bunch of HarryPotterandtheDeathlyHallowsUS. They've got interesting suffixes like "-1odm 2.cpgz" and "odm 5.cpgz".
    I don't know what any of these mean but how do I get the book into iTunes so I can listen to it? (And keep in mind that I take idiot-proof as a personal challenge.) There's kind of a time limit on how long I can have this book on my computer so I am eager to figure this out.
    Any and all help greatly appreciated.
    Brian

    Okay, I thought I replied yesterday but the message seems to have disapeared. Sigh.
    So I got Stuffit Expander and I think I used it correctly. Possibly. Well...I have a folder with "HarryP.....HallowsUS 2.odm" And a "Harry....HallowsUS 2.odm.cpgz" on my desktop. And another "Harry....HallowsUS 2.odm 1.cpgz" on the desktop.
    Can somebody tell me what I have to do next in order to listen to this audiobook?!? I seem to have uselss little copies of "HarryPotter" all over my computer; none of which are actually usable. Reading the library website, it seemed pretty idiot-proof, but , well, I guess I'm just a superior idiot. The one thing I did understand from the website is that I only have this copy for a limited amount of time.
    Thanks.

  • How do I open a pw protected zip file?

    This question appears to be different from similar questions asked because I HAVE the password. I really don't want to download extra safe-cracker's-anonymous software to hack into it. The file just never gives me the option of entering it. I have the zip file, I double-click on it, it gives me an error message. I right-click on it but no options there either. How do I open it such that it gives me a chance to unlock it?
    Appreciate the help. (and yeah, I have no idea if I'm in the right community - sorry about that if I'm in the wrong place)

    The zip file format is not a nice, standardized format. You could have a weird zip file that is technically not bad, but isn't supported by the built-in software on Mac OS X. In some cases, when zip files won't open, I've had success opening them with The Unarchiver, which is available both in the App Store and outside it:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12
    http://unarchiver.c3.cx
    (I don't know if there's a difference in functionality between the two... there could be, but if there is, I am not aware of it.)
    It's also possible the zip file is corrupted, and won't be openable by anything.

  • I cannot open mp3 files I received from a purchased download. They are in a .zip file but no matter what I do, they cannot be opened. Please help.

    I have right clicked and selected open, and the loading ring shows but nothing happens. I have also extracted the files, opened them in itunes and windows media player. (cannot be accesed in itunes or wmp)

    With ZIP files, extract was your best bet. Do the players report that the file is corrupted, or zero length?? You may need to check with the seller on whether the ZIPs downloaded correctly or see whether you can get another format.
    You also could try downloading again using Internet Explorer, if they allow that.

  • ITunes U downloads Numbers as a .zip file to iOS

    I have uploaded six Numbers [v 3.2 (1861)] spreadsheets to an iTunes U course. Five of them download to my iPad [iOS 7.2] and open in Numbers, but one downloads as a .zip file and cannot be opened. This problem was identified by a student, so the same problem exists on other devices. All the spreadsheets were created in Numbers on my MacBook Pro [10.9.4] and uploaded to iTunes from the MacBook.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok-I have done the following: in this order
    1) scanned for viriuses with MSE & SPYBOT
    2) disabled DOWNLOAD MANAGER
    3) searched in Download Applications where .JPG is not listed but PICT file is (should I assume that it's the same thing?) with QUICKTIME as app.
    4) deleted MIME TYPE.rdf in the Profile Folder
    5) went to "about:config to reset 2 items suggested in Firefox Troubleshoot,
    but they were not listed.
    I need more suggestions PLEASE! Thanks.

  • I have imported a Zip file, mp3 music to desktop. How do I move it into iTunes?? I have tried drag/drop, import to library, both without success. Can anyone help, please.

    I have imported a Zip files, mp3 music to my Desktop. How do I move it into iTunes. I have tried d/drop and also Import to Library without success. Can anyone help, please?

    Many thanks to Limnos and King Penguin.
    I have discovered! I needed software to Unzip and was directed to Stuffit from the App Store. Suddenly it is simple.
    Download Zip File to Desktop.
    rt>  Zip        >Open with.....     >Stuffit     Progress Bar: 'Expanding' follows. Then a blue folder (manilla) returns to Desktop.
    Open iTunes     >File     >Import to Library      From drop down select  the now expanded contents of Zip file, then     >OPEN    
    iTunes takes over and imports -  Job's Done!! 
    Thanks again
