Bob Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) MacZip1.0.6 is free and available at download.com....btw, download.com is the most secure, virus-free option for odds-and-ends applications. they do let you filter results to show the free, priced, or free to try programs that apply to whatever search you do. In addition, you can filter based on OS...so you can choose programs specifically made for the Mac. from there, you should be fine extracting from zip files and then you'll be able to install media player.

KevTastic Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Macs are great computers for work and design purposes. But i would never get one for entertainment and general Computer usage. PC's were made for that. Funnily enough i am planning on getting a Mac next year for Video work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that you downloaded the Mac (OS X not OS9) version? Stuffit unzips files and should already be installed on your computer. Why do you have zip files anyway?

Cozmo D Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Macs are great computers for work and design purposes. But i would never get one for entertainment and general Computer usage. PC's were made for that. Nonsense. That statement was true 10 years ago, not now. The only thing that PC's are still better in is games, just because there are more of them. However, all you have to do then is install Windows on your Mac and bingo, you have a PC. :wickedwisdom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I can see your point, but i was talking bout games more anyway Coz. I love the fact that Football Manager runs on both off the same disc. I live with 2 guys. One with a PC one with a Mac. We are all happy :P Any Brits here see the Mitchell & Webb Mac Vs PC ads, they were well funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefCEM Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Just to make it clear, there is no better Operating System than MacOS X. Forget Windows, thats just a overloaded, unsecure copied piece of sh*t. Edited November 15, 2007 by DefCEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cozmo D Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 He cant read those files ether Bob. Either "he" is doing something completely wrong or there is something wrong or missing from his Mac. The fact that "he" couldn't open a zip tells me that stuffit is missing, which should have come pre-installed on the iMac. Did this computer fall off a truck?
