Question for Mac Users
I've had some posts relating to the fact of Mac users not being able to unpack my compressed files. They claim it's due to the password not working, but after a double check I had to concluded that cannot be the case. Could it have something to do with encryption? Any clues or solutions to this issue?

StuffIt Expander seems to fail on certain passwords. The files are OK as WinRAR will expand the file without complaint. I thought it might be slashes in the password, but it seems deeper and moe vague than that
When Expander fails, it often will leave behind an invisible directory ".$$ StuffIt Temp..." which can be found with a shell "ls -a" command.
That's what i've been encountering.
I thought it was the password (and hints thereof) being too cryptic for me to understand.
I shall try something on a windows machine later.
Download and use NewzToolz....it will unpack those "rars" for you....trust me ...it works...and thanks for the great music and the sly wit. Word
I just unpacked the William Orbit fine, using UnRarX.
Thanks!
Great work, thanks for all the helpful advice people!
rar_expander works ok for me
"MacPar deluxe" is working fine http://dimmuborghild.blogspot.com/2006/06/those-pesky-rar-files.html
WHEN I CANNOT OPEN A FILE USING THE PASS WITH STUFFIT WHAT I DO IS TO TYPE THE PASS ON TEXTEDIT AND THE COPY-PASTE. IT WORKS IN MY MAC.
UnRAR - no problems the use or inability to use a password falls well under operator error
NewzTools seems not to be able to handle password protected rar-files.
Rar_Expender however works perfectly well.
Thanks to you all for solving the problem!
I have the same problem that moof describes except it is with the windows version of StuffIt. Any body else expereince the problem?
Désolé mais il n'y a rien à faire... rien ne marche pour moi... j'ai l'impression que ton pass est naze...
Sorry... nothing works with me... your pass is a bad one... change it... maybe it's the solution... a shorter one this time... ;)
oh j'oubliais : merci pour toute cette bonne musique!!!
be carefull pax i know where you live!
i might cum and hump ya leg like a good worm should!
I heartily endorse UnRarX ... works like a charm on my Mac ... BUT remember to put the password in before you drag and drop.
