Download error: Unable to expand "___" into "Downloads". (Error 2 - No such file or directory).

I'm not sure about adressing the specific problem, but I might recommend unzipping through different software. I highly recommend trying Zipeg -- I've been using it for years (I may have even gotten it in order to work around a problem like the one you're having) and it handles archives very well.

I hope this is helpful!

Are you just double clicking the .zip?

Do you have a link you can post to a sample .zip as an example?

Possible solution if dealling with MobileMe gallery.

I ran into this problem while downloading my mobileme gallery albums and videos. I can't tell if that is where you ran into your problem or not, but if it is, this is what worked for me. Most of my albums downloaded and expanded successfully, however about 5 downloaded and would not expland giving the error you got. After several retries, I selected one of the albums, clicked the settings icon, changed the name (added "-2" to the name). This time the downloaded zip file expanded successfully. This worked for all of the albums that I had problems with.

Hi g_a_s!

Same problem for me. Downloaded my Galleries from MobileMe. Got message:

Unable to expand (File Name) into… (Error 2 - No such file or directory). May I ask, which application had you used to change the name of the album?

I had this problem too and found out the zip file was password protected. Had to use zipeg to get to the prompt of entering the password. Somehow, the archive utility didn't prompt for a password and just gave out an error message.

I'm having the same problem. When I double-click the zipped video file on the desktop, something called "Archive Utility appears on the dock and a box opens with a timing strip. When the process completes, I get "Unable to unarchive [file name] into "Desktop". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)"
