zipped files

[mmullen328]

My boss and I work remotely since he lives in Bermuda. He has a MAC and since I use a PC I cannot answer his questions. He says he cannot open a .zip file no matter what he does. Should he download winzip? Does that work on MAC? Thx.

While Mac OS has an unzip utility built it, a lot of people just download the free app The Unarchiver in addition/instead of the system version since The Unarchiver will handle a lot more file types. Just drag a zip file onto it and he should be good to go.

Is the zip archive password-protected? Mac OS X's built in utility for compressed archives can't handle these. Use The Unarchiver instead, like the previous poster suggested.

Not exactly an answer for this problem, but this may come in very handy for you...

I had a real media file archived and was told that this is a unsopported document and it would not open.
