+FMT15 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 So I ran the my finds PQ and got the email. Im trying to download it to a zip file for a stats page, but when I go to open it, it says there is no application that can support it. I have a Mac, not sure if that disables me from being able to do it? Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 What do you want to do with the PQ? Most folks have a third-party program (like GASK) that they want to update with their recent finds. If you do not have such a program on your computer, the 'My Finds' PQ is pretty much useless to you. Quote Link to comment
+FMT15 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah I wanted to upload it to MyGeocachingProfile.com (Wasn't sure if i could say website here) to see what it's all about. GSAK wont work on my mac so I was trying something else. Quote Link to comment

I don't have a Mac, but from some searching it sounds like your operating system should natively support ZIP files, so you should simply have to double-click on the ZIP file to extract the GPX file. What operating system are you running? Maybe it's an old one that doesn't support ZIP files. Quote Link to comment

+FMT15 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Okay I didn't realize I needed an application to download the files now. I got it, thanks for the help. Think i'ma try the Icaching app in the macbook app store. Thanks again guys! Quote Link to comment

It does you no good whatsoever. Just open MyGeocachingProfile -- you should have a shortcut or icon on your desktop. It will pick up on the My Finds download by itself, or you can direct it to do that. At this point, you (I think) need to save or have it apply the new data to the program. You should be all set.

Yes! That must have been what I was doing wrong. Thank you very much, got it all squared away now Quote Link to comment
