Unable to unarchive on Mac

Asked By Jeffrey L Vogel 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/10/2013

Hello,

I am running Mac Operating System and trying to download some CDs of mp3boo.

After I download these zipped files and try to unzip them an error displays ‘Achieve Utility

Unable to Unarchive “01a Vowels.zip” into “Downloads” (Error 1 – Operation not permitted.)’

I am using Archive Utility and can’t resolve this annoying error message.

How can I fix this problem? Have any suggestion?

Thanks for assistance.

Unable to unarchive on Mac

The error might be because it is a bad zip file.You can try downloading it again.

Also, you can try unzip -t in the command line prompt to verify a file with .zip extension. This will point towards the root cause of this issue after which you can fix it. It is probably not a zip file or it is just one part of an archive containing multiple files.

Secondly, try to discover what kind of file it actually is if it does not belong to the family of zip files by using file command.
