Thank you so much for this. I could not open zip file and Unarchiver worked for me. Much appreciated. This apps works well. Instantly you can zip or unzip the file. It will protect bit AES encryption. Hello thank you for the post. But I am still having a problem. What must I do? Is compress and zip available in the OSX?
Went to the directory and tried the command. He sent me a link for me to download Office for Mac. Indepently, I also tried a third party like Robert suggested above, but prior to reading his comment. In my case I tried Winzip for Mac free trial, and it worked beautifully! Nothing is as simple as advertised, in the world of electronics: hardware and software.

That's what I did on my other computer. Now Adobe Reader is trying to open all my zips and says that it can't duh!

If you click once on the icon to high light it and then press command i you will get an info window. About half way down the window is a triangle with Open with.
Click on that and then use the drop down menu to pick the correct application. There will be a dialog that asks if you want to open all these types with the same app.
Unarchiver sports a simple user interface. Users can click and drag individual files from this window to the Finder, and even open files directly from the archive. And the toolbar offers a few more features.
Having said that, there are a few downsides. And you can, with Zipster. Go ahead and download Zipster. Hopefully this will be the last time you do that. The application you can drag to Applications, just like you do for other programs. The license takes a few more steps. Zipster once cost money, but the developers have since decided to give it away. They did not remove the copy protection scheme, but include a free license with each download. The catch: you have to install it yourself. Do that and you can launch Zipster.
You can unmount a ZIP from the Finder by clicking the eject button. Failing that, you can use the menu bar icon. Still, it works quickly and is fully integrated with the Finder. Browse All iPhone Articles Browse All Mac Articles Do I need one?

Just tried that and it works too. Because I suspect the free version of Stuffit Expander which I assume you have may not either. I have Stuffit Deluxe. Use The Unarchiver it's free. I deleted the file when you didn't respond. I'm not going to download it again. If you can't open it in the way suggested above, you're getting a corrupt download.
Post if that happens. If you are having trouble with any of my suggestions then your copy is corrupt. Its MB so the possibility is a bit higher something went wrong along the way. Download it again. By the way, with any of the methods I suggested, did you even get a prompt for a password? It's definitely corrupted if you didn't. Jan 29, PM in response to gert In response to gert
