ZIP FILE TROUBLESHOOTING


If you are using a major operating system your computer should automatically open zip files. Some exceptions and solutions:

  • iPhone/iPad: you will need to use an app like iZip or WinZip to open and store zip files  
  • Android devices: you may need to use a utility like WinZip to open and store zip files  
  • Windows devices: you may need to use Pocket Extractor to open and store zip files 
  • Windows computers: support for zip files is inbuilt however, if you run into problems use WinZip (free trial version) or 7-Zip (free).
  • Mac computers: support for zip files is inbuilt however, if you run into problems use Stuff It Expander

These solutions not working? Contact me (I have not encountered an unfixable problem so far)
