The Unarchiver is good, I recommend it.

 

However, if for whatever reason it doesnt resolve your problem, I ended up installing the command line version of rar (cant recall where i got it tho - google is your friend).

 

rar -x blah.rar

 

should work for blah.rar, blah.001, blah.002 etc.

 

hth.

If it still doesn't work, try extracting the first file, usually .00 or .01, with all the other files in the set placed in the same directory. If that still doesn't work, then you could be missing some files. Make sure you have ALL of them in the same directory before attempting to extract them.

Can you extract them in Windows? How exactly do the file icons look like in Windows? As in, do they have the WinRAR icon, (the purple, blue, and green books strapped together) or something else? If they end with .001, .002, etc., and have a blank icon, (no particular file association) try renaming all the file extensions to .r0# (as in .001>.r01 or .002>.r02) and then try to extract them with the latest version of WinRAR in Windows. If even this doesn't work, then you're on your own.

Well, if you tried all of the above in OSX and nothing works, then I guess the only option you have left is to extract the file(s) in Windows and then copy the extracted file back over to OSX.

Open up terminal, assuming you have unrar installed, cd over to the directory containing the files, choose the first one, eg, *.00 or 01 whichever it is, and run "unrar -e filename.00" and it should do the rest for you. IF you don't have unrar installed, or have any idea what terminal is, you're on your own....
