OS X :: Unable To Use Archive Utility

Aug 19, 2005

I zipped up about 3 gigs into a 2.24 gig zip file. I did it with stuffit deluxe, and I had no problems opening it. Then, I sent the file over the network to my roomate and reformatted/reinstalled OS X Tiger, then d/l'd the file back from my roomate.

Now, it won't open! I'm just using the standard OS X BOM ArchiveHelper... it gets like 75% done and says:

Unable to unarchive "filename.zip" into "Desktop". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)

Applications :: Using Archive Utility.app From Terminal

Mar 5, 2009

Does anybody know if it is possible to send commands or options to Archive Utility.app via Terminal?

It is possible to invoke Archive Utility.app and pass it the path to a zip file, and it will uncompress it. However, I would like to also pass it a destination path, and see what other options it may have.

MacBook Pro :: Disk Utility Says Internal Hard Drive Is Failing?

Dec 28, 2010

However, my hard drive appears to be running fine - haven't noticed any degradation of performance since receiving the warnings two days ago. And HD is still running quiet (no strange mechanical noises I'm accustomed to hearing prior to a failure). Nevertheless, I'm installing a new HD tomorrow and recloning it from a backup external drive (operating from external until then).

MacBook Pro :: Failing To Boot Up Despite Disk Utility Repair And PRAM

Jun 2, 2014

Problem: MBP frozen on boot up screen with Apple logo and turning gear (which freezes after a while aswell)

Solutions attempted: disk repair via custom recovery- disk utility, PRAM

Device: MacBook Pro 15" (early 2010) running 10.9 

Additional info-

Never had any issue with the device and this seems to have happened all of a sudden. Installed an SSD a few months ago, and just realised the ssd did not have a recovery partition. However I connected my older hardrive via USB to access recovery which seemed to work fine.

NOTE: for the past few weeks, every now and then I was unable to power the device off and whenever this occurred, there seemed to be a few bugs (ie unable to empty thrash-error 50 and enable to increase/decrease volume/screen brightness). However, holding the power button and restarting it seemed to have fixed it.

Had the same issue but this time around MBP failed to boot up. 

Info:
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

OS X :: Disk Utility Failing To Format Ext. Fire Wire Disk

Dec 2, 2009

I have a problem with Disk Utility , when trying to format an external fire wire drive.

I cleaned out the drive and proceeded to erase it with zeros. After this Disk utility will not display the subdirectory or verify, repair, partition, erase the disk. The main disk name is still visible, but I cant access any functions.
Error message says input output error.

DiskWarrior will not help, as the original directory is beyond recovery.

I suppose that I have damaged the original directory, and now I would ask the honourable forum if there is any remedy for my actions?

OS X :: Possible Failing HD, Can Use A Few Pointers

Feb 11, 2010

I have a 24" iMac (3gb RAM/Snow Leopard), that's about two years old. For four days it's been running sluggish, and giving me the "pinwheel" every minute. The HD would also make loud "whiring" noises, over simple processes. I did some reading and determined that maybe the HD was dying. I'm sure my warranty has expired, and I never bought into apple care

OS X :: Archive And Install 10.3 To 10. 4

Sep 14, 2009

I'm going to upgrade my OS from Panther to Tiger. With "Archive and install" does it compress the old system before putting it in the Bibliotech. I'm worried that I won't have enough space left on my HD to hold the two systems. For the moment I have about 8.5 GB of free space with no app's running.(after a reboot) Or can I archive the old system to my ext. HD ( How) I'm not planning to install " other languages" or "other Printers" with the Tiger install.

OS X :: How Do I Archive My DVD Collection?

Apr 5, 2010

I have a sizable DVD collection (over 400 DVDs) that I want to get rid of. I may be moving to a much smaller apartemnt, and I'm just getting tired of moving these boxes/shelves all over the country, and having them take up space (especially since I watch them so rarely). I recently got rid of my entire CD collection (ripped to Apple Lossless) and find I don't miss the physical CDs at all. I'm hoping to have a similar experience w/ the DVDs. I want to move toward an all-digital existence (Kindle/iBooks, iTunes Music, Archived DVDs). I'm getting sick of storing/displaying physical media.

I have a nice home theater, so I don't want to rip compressed iPhone/AppleTV quality versions of these DVDs. I want true archival quality, as good as having the actual physical DVD (with extras, 5.1/7.1, all audio tracks, etc....if it's possible, of course).

I plan to soon buy a Mac Mini (whenever they're updated), that will store/run all these DVDs. I also want the option to re-burn physical DVDs from the digital copies (I don't think I'll be utilizing it, but I like to not back myself into a corner).

CAN I do this?

If so, what's the best way? Anyone have a similar experience?

OS X :: Sync Server Failing Since 10.5.7?

May 18, 2009

What's worse is the fact that the whole system slows down and gets incredibly sluggish. Not to mention MobileMe syncing now doesn't work - my icon for it now looks like this: Whilst the system was running sluggish I had a look at Activity Monitor and I guess this may have something to do with it

MacBook :: It Has Been Failing To Turn On Sometimes

Apr 22, 2012

I'm new to the forum here, and I've been trying to research this problem for ages to no avail so I thought I'd try here.

My Macbook has been failing to turn on sometimes. When I press the startup button, the light on the lower right turns on, but the screen remains black and there's no startup sound. I can hear the hard drive start up, and when I do a cold restart, I can hear the hard drive whir to a stop. When this happens, I have to do the cold restart many times (sometimes once, sometimes 15, and once I had to do it for about 20 min before it could start up). When it starts up, it's fine and it's like as if nothing's happened.

Info:MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OS X :: Deleting An Old Archive & Install?

Feb 4, 2009

I upgraded my powerbook to leopard about a year ago using Archive & Install. I just read that deleting your old archive is a good way to free up space, provided your machine is running well. I haven't had any problems. Has anybody done this that can provide any advice for or against deleting the folder?

Software :: Best Way To Archive Emails?

Aug 16, 2009

I'm trying to clean up some space on my computer, and my emails are taking a lot of space (I save most of them, and have done so for 5+ years). My strategy was to make a Smart Folder, give the rule "Older than a date". Set the date for about 1.5years ago. This made a mailbox with about 67K+ emails. Then I selected all of them and deleted them. When I quit email it fails to quit and crashes instead and when I open the program again the emails are still in the Smart Mailbox.

Any thoughts on the best way to accomplish this? Perhaps a third-party program?

OS X :: Accessing A Failing OS X Partition From WIndows XP

Apr 21, 2010

We have a client who has a MAC Mini running OS X. System is not booting into the OS, its freezing up during boot process. Data on the hard drive is critical to the user.

- The hardware utility on the OS X install cd says there's no problems, but when removed from the mini, connected to a PC, and tested using bootable cd IBM Drive Fitness Test and Seagate Seatools, the drive fails both tests.

- The drive has been connected to our data transfer system (running Windows XP) and unsurprisingly XP sees the drive in disk managment, but doesn't see the partition in Explorer.

- Research online led us to HFSExplorer, which dies see the MAC partition and file tree. But any attempt to extract files results in a Java runtime error saying that the source cannot be accessed. Once this error is received, HFSExplorer crashes and must be relaunched, and will not detect the MAC partition again until the computer is hard shutdown and restarted. THe physical drive vanishes from disk managment when the error occurs also.

- Further research led us to MacDrive, which mounts the drive (after reporting that it detected an error and asking if we still want to mount). We can again browse the file tree, but as soon as we attempt to copy anything, it fails and the explorer window with the MAC partiton vanishes. Again, the system must be hard restarted in order to restore access to the partition.

- Found a repair utility in the MACDrive program. Running that results in the error "80070002: The system cannont find the file specified."

- I'm out of ideas at this point. Anyone have any advice? As I said, the drive contains data critical to the client.

OS X :: Downloads Failing From Dropped Connection?

Sep 9, 2010

I have a Mac Mini, it is hooked to a D-link router with a 50ft ethernet cable. I have never had problems in the past using my MacBook over wifi, but it seems like I am constantly losing my Internet connection on the Mac Mini. I have no problems when I am on it, but if I leave a download going, then come back, it seems to almost always pause or cancel the download. It has happened downloading songs from Napster through Safari, it happens in iTunes, and in Software Update.

OSX should not go to sleep if it's downloading a file, right? I even installed Caffeine to make sure it stays awake. Any ideas on what the issue might be? Or what I should try to do to figure it out?

MacBook Pro :: Graphics Glitch / Failing GPU?

Sep 22, 2010

System:
Macbook Pro
2.3ghz core 2 duo
Radeon x1600
OS 10.6.4

I'm seeing a severe graphics glitch. At first I attributed it to a VM, but it has started affecting my whole system. Repeated reboots will eventually clear the issue, but it will trigger again when I boot up a VM, watch a flash video, or do anything GPU intensive. This doesn't happen every time I perform these actions so I have had difficulty finding a specific cause.

OS X :: Failing To Connect To Server At Login

Aug 27, 2008

I have a MacBook Air that I set up to connect to a shared drive on our university's network. I'm able to connect to it manually just fine after I've logged in, but I keep getting the following error every time I login: "Connection Failed: The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."

Along with this comes a "?" in my dock, indicating the "share" drive cannot be found. I'm assuming I've pointed Leopard to an incorrect alias or something while I was figuring out how to connect to the share drive. How do I remove this instruction so the error message will just leave me alone?

OS X :: Snow Leopard Installation Keeps Failing

Dec 23, 2009

So I've only had my macbook pro aluminum body for about 4 months and after downloading the new system update, my laptopl just started acting weird and then it would just keep freezing with the pinwheel for extended periods of time. I've decided to verify and repair the disc, but to no avail, it didn't help. So, I backed up files in an external hard drive and erased my disc. However, after repeating to reinstall Snow Leopard at least 10 times, it keeps on telling me that it has failed to copy supported files. If I eject my installation DVD, it will just show up with a gray screen that has a folder and a question mark on it. I'm not sure what to do. I feel like I should take it over to an Apple store to consult with a Genius...but it is far from where I live. Any easy step to step advice on what I should do?

MacBook :: Failing To Boot To OS X Or From OS X Disc?

Apr 10, 2010

My MacBook 13" which was the current model when I bought it in September '08 decided after a normal shut down to not boot up the next time I tried. It gets as far as loading the grey apple symbol and then gets no further (no loading cog etc.

Naturally my first thought was to try to repair from my OSX install disc but when I booted from this the same problem occurred (the grey apple symbol, no further). The disc is definitely recognised by the disc drive and is displayed when I hold the option key on startup. I also tried using a friends OSX disc and the same problem occurred so I'm assuming it can't be the disc.

I have tried booting in safe mode, single user mode & verbose mode, none of which work although I am able to see where the script gets to in a safe mode boot by using the option that shows this .

The weirdest thing is that I have dual-boot set up with Ubuntu on my macbook and I can still boot to ubuntu fine, also all linux live discs I have tried in order to investigate the hard drive have had no trouble booting.
