OS X :: How Do You Unzip A File
Jun 21, 2010
I downloaded workpress on my Macbook
I already have stuffit,, which should be enough to open it right?
I click on wordpress, in my downloads and all I get is a file called wordpress, with a bunch of documents that just seem to have codes
What am I doing wrong, I have searched online for help but everyone says it should be enough to just double click

My friend uploaded a recording of a show on megavideo and I downloaded it but when it did, on my desktop there is just a blank page icon and it won't play on iTunes or quicktime. I thought i might have needed to unzip it so i tried using zipeg but zipeg didn't recognise it.

So I downloaded two free mixtapes recently and I was unable to open the first. I downloaded it again and tried again, same error. I figured no big deal, but when I got the same 'Error 1 - Operation Not Permitted' for the second file days later, I got mad.
I repaired disc permissions and tried again, still the same error.
So I tried with StuffIt and it said "The archive may be damaged (Error #17537)". I downloaded Zipeg and tried both files-it said 'file type not supported'.
I tried the Terminal:
grant-austins-macbook:~ Grant$ unzip bobbyraynodj.zip
unzip: cannot find or open bobbyraynodj.zip, bobbyraynodj.zip.zip or bobbyraynodj.zip.ZIP.
Same error for the other file. After all that, I restarted and tried it all again, and got the same results

I downloaded a zipped file from the internet (its stated on it's website that it works on Macintosh as well as windows and Linux) and when I tried unzipping it this message came up: Unable to Archive "thefilename" into documents. Error 1: operation not permitted
I'm on the Admin account so I don't see the issue...
So how can I unzip it? Its happened with a number of files

I have downloaded an mp3 audiobook from my public library's online database that I would like to load to iTunes. When I double-clicked it to decompress it, all I got was a .cpgz file Double clicking the .cpgz file only created the file again. I downloaded other software such as Stuffit and Unarchiver, but got error messages that the file was not recognized or could not be opened with that program. I also tried to use Terminal and Archive utility, but no luck.

New Mac user here (these forums helped me make a great, informed choice of my refurbished 2.66ghz iMac), and while the learning curve is significant, I'm loving it, and already realize its just what I've wanted in a computer experience all these years. I talked with someone recently who recommended I download Stuffit for zip/unzip purposes. I did a search here on the forums and noticed quite a few people expressing frustration with it, and suggestions of multiple programs for different people. I'm a very 'basic user.' I'd rather have one program that I go-to and use for these purposes. What free zip/unzip program do you recommend?

Being a relatively new Mac user, I'm not sure what the best freeware would be for what I want to do, and I don't want to download twenty different programs before I find the right one. So, I'm looking for recommendations.
1) I want to find a program that lets me easily convert .wma files to .mp3's.
2) I also want to find a free, simple program that allows me to unzip .rar files. (This is another case with mp3's, except I have twenty songs zipped into one, and can only play them with VLC RAR-Loader.)

I am downloading a zipped folder which contains multiple .wma files. I need to unzip the file and convert it to for use in iTunes. StuffIt Expander does not recognize the file, there is not an option to unzip from my desktop, and the files do not format if i drag and drop into iTunes.

Received an email attachment that is zipped, and instructed to open it with Archive Utility. For some reason I cannot open it, or if it is open, find it.

ive been using my mac to unzip zip arhcive files ive downloaded from the internet and for the past few months ive had to troubles at all. but more recently my mac wouldnt actuallty zip the files. so i started using a free application in the app store called stuffit expander. but now even stuffit expander wont unzip my files. what is happening? the stuffit expander just says it is unable to recognize the file type which makes no sense, and when i use the default unzip application already on my mac it just turns the zip file into a file with the extension .cpgz

Have an older version of unstuffit from 2007. Just downloaded Arc Explorer GIS Reader in zipped format and there is something in the header that makes stuffit stop before unzipping.
So I went to CNET for a later unzipper to see if that is the problem, downloaded MacZip (most downloads with Stuffit 2010 next).
I got an .hqx file and nothing I have is interested in opening the .hqx file or launching or whatever is required.
Guess I'll try for Stuffit 2010 and see if that works better but any thoughts would be appreciated.
This is 500 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac with 2GB of RAM running system 10.4.11

I am trying to unzip files straight into my ftp server.
To do so, I am using Cyberduck. I am able to connect to my server, select the file, control click on the file and choose expand.
Then, the cyberduck activity is spinning for ever - without success.
I am also trying to unzip the same file via the terminal.
Again, I am able to connect to my server and put a command line like "unzip abc.zip" but the terminal do not recognize it.

On a new (June 2012) MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.4 I am seeing a process called "unzip" in the Activity Monitor. It pops about every 5 seconds and is using anywhere from 5%-35% of the CPU and then goes away, then comes right back.I am having some system performance issues and I am wondering if this is the culprit.

How can I configure OS X to not automatically unzip archive files when I double click on them, but instead simply open them in the default archive handler tool?
I know archives can be opened via the context menu, but I would prefer to just double click without causing the archive to unpack.

I downloaded a bunch of pictures from my wedding which were saved into a .zip folder. Every time I click on the folder to "unzip" it a duplicate folder is created. I've tried searching for the unzipped folder that people have said would be created after double clicking/unzipping the folder, but it's nowhere to be found.

I managed to successfully hide the file: cat picture.jpg hidden.rtf.zip > picture2.jpg
results in a picture (picture2.jpg) that is the size of the sum of picture.jpg and hidden.rtf.zip. I presume this means that I am successfully putting hidden into the picture.I can open picture2.jpg, but I can't figure out a way to access the hidden zip.
