Everything went swimmingly, except for now I can't seem to unzip files using Archive Utility.app. In any folder under the root path / on Macintosh HD I get following error:Error identifying a writable temporary folder. Try moving the archive to another volume.However, if I move the archive to one of my Firewire external drives and unzip it from there, it works.I've tried the standard Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility, using the diskutil repairpermissions / command and booting into my install disk and trying both of the previous from there. Unfortunatly it didn't solved the problem.I noticed that when Time Machine restored my Mac the /private folder became visible, so I used Terminal and set it back to hidden. Could there be a problem with the permissions of my /private folder that Repair Disk Permissions hasn't fixed?Any more suggestions would be ace as I can't seem to find anybody with the same issue via Google.

Try moving the archive to another volume.Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.Launch the Terminal utility, then type this command:ls -l /(The letters "l" are lower-case letters "L".)What do you see for private and tmp? On my system they look like this:drwxr-xr-x@ 6 root wheel 204 May 17 14:50 privatelrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11 May 17 14:37 tmp -> private/tmpIf the values before the "@" signs and the two words between the numbers don't match, that might explain your problem.

Thanks for your help. jazzido commented Dec 1, 2014 Hi @rkemp. I've tested the ZIP file with several decompressors and they all worked well. Sounds like a problem with your machine (low disk space, for instance). jazzido closed this Dec 1, 2014 Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub. Already have an account?

Hi folks, I've just purchased mac os x a new MacBookPro 15' 2.53ghz, i5, 4gb, and I'm just in the initial phases of getting my bearings and sorting things out. I've downloaded a few accessories, widgets etc to help me out and they've popped up in my downloads stack as a .zip file, now, when I click them I get this message in a Archive Utility window: "Error identifying a writable temporary folder. Try moving the archive to another volume." Can't figure out what to do and can't seem to find much help on a classic Google sweep. I need to get this sorted as I can't download anything that I want at the minute! Slight problem... Any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers now, take care. Thank you. Lee.

September 16, 2016 00:38 Why does Backblaze error with "Backblaze could not create a read-writable '.bzvol' directory on that hard drive." when I try to select a drive for backup? Backblaze uses a hidden folder named .bzvol at the top level of every drive selected for backup. The directory contains a small file to uniquely identify the drive. If Backblaze can't create a .bzvol folder, it will produce said error. Common causes: Disk Formatting: If your operating system can read the drive but can't write to it, it will produce this error. Most commonly, this applies to Mac OS X and NTFS drives. Transfer the files to another drive, erase the disk as Mac OS Extended (HFS+) and put the data back on. Then it can be selected for backup. Permissions (Windows): Show hidden files if they're not already shown: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/show-hidden-files Open the drive's top level in Windows' Computer area If a .bzvol folder exists, delete it. Close the drive's top level window. Right click on the drive itself, and choose Properties -> Security See if SYSTEM is listed. If it's listed, make sure it's set for Full Control. If it's not listed, or isn't listed as having Full Control, click Edit Click "Add", enter "SYSTEM" (all caps) in the Object Names field, and click OK Make sure SYSTEM has "Allow" checked for all columns. Click OK, and OK again. Reboot, then select the drive in the Backblaze control panel Permissions (Mac): Locate the drive in the Finder Click on the drive once to select it Pull down File and choose Get Info In the Sharing & Permissions section, click the lock icon and enter your Mac's administrator credentials Ensure that system or me has Read & Write privileges Select the drive for backup in the Backblaze system preference Was this article helpful? 1 out of 2 found this helpful Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+ Have more questions?
