To begin with, I don't know a single thing about coding, computers, etc. It'd be nice of computer masters if my question could be answered in detail (ex: type this in, screenshot, if possible).
First of all, I received several .zip files on my MacBook Air. I don't even know what kind, but the whole thing is around 31.5 cm wide and 23 cm long.
I think the .zip files contain .img files, probably more than 4000. The reason behind this huge file is because we're making an album of a bunch of pictures. However, I'm not sure if these images are screenshots or .gifs.
For some reason, the files that I receive look like images to me, but the extension sometimes says .gif instead of .img.
Now, when I try to open the .zip files, a notice that reads:
Cannot read archive data.
to which I usually press 'Ignore All' or 'Stop'.
Since 'Stop' is highlighted in blue, it looks promising. I press on it, and it says:
Cannot read archive data.
The same thing happens when I press on 'Ignore All'.
I tried to look for a solution already, to which this one website told me to use something called Terminal. (The .zip file's name is memories.)
I assumed that the .zip files were corrupted, so (as the website told me) I entered:
zip(enter)-F memories.zip --out please.zip
This didn't work. This showed up:
Fix archive (-F) - assume mostly intact archive zip warning: No .zip file found (If all you have are splits (.z01, .z02, ...) and no .zip, try -FF)zip I/O error: No such file or directoryzip error: File not found or no read permission (memories.zip)
I tried the following:
-FF memories.zip --out please.zip
Still didn't work. This showed up:
Fix archive (-FF) - salvage what can zip warning: could not open input archive: memories.zipScanning for entries...Could not find: memories.z01Hit c (change path to where this split file is) s (skip this split) q (abort archive - quit) e (end this archive - no more splits) z (look for .zip split - the last split) or ENTER (try reading this split again):
I stopped here, as I didn't have a clue what to do next. Can someone please help me...?
