Can't unzip .zip files... (ERROR 2)

johnmansfield's solution works for me.

Hi, I had the same problem...

It turned out to be that the zip file was encrypted and Archive Utility (Default program to extract zip files in Mac) is unable to extra encrypted files.

Try this:

1-Go to the Mac App Store

2-Search for an app called "The Unarchiver" and install it

3- Right click on any zip file, select get info and change the default program to be opened with to the unarchiver (If one of your files has the same problem I suggest to apply this to all similar files)

4-Open the file and enter the password

I hope this was helpful, if not please let me know

Didn't work for me. Still gave me same error

By far the best solution, I find The Unarchiver more effective than the terminal solution. It gave me the results I needed.

HI there 🙂

This problem is easily fixed, simply redownload the file using an ethernet connection 🙂

If that works for you, that's an indication that something is very seriously wrong with your usual network (presumably a wifi network).

Downloaded Unarchiver from App Store and it fixed the problem. Thank you those, who suggested
