Are you a Mac user? Have Trouble accessing our 370Z Service Manual? (Solution Inside)

Hi-Step'n370Z · 03-21-2010, 07:02 PM

I tried to download it, but my Mac won't do it, don't have the right software. the PC guys probably have no problem. Looks like I'll have to buy one.

Simply go to this link and download a free one (look for the newest dates): Free 7z Unarchivers

Hahaha buying a pc because you don't have the proper software to open a 7z file is like trading your Z in because your headlight blew out

Nope! this wouldn't work either. Thanks man, but I'm done trying. My mac just doesn't have the applications to read it, and so be it.

You should be able to read the document with either Preview (included on your Mac) or Adobe's free Adobe Reader. Which Mac OS are you running? Thanks.

I have the service manual and open it all the time in Preview on my Mac. Should work unless you have a very old Mac OS

Mac OS X version 10.4.11

I show Preview in the Applications, so I must have preview, but nothin' works to open the service manual.

Ahhh I'm running snow leopard... I can't remember if tiger's built-in preview opens PDFs...Also I'm a little confused if you are having probs opening the compressed 7z file or the pdf??? Adobe Acrobat reader should open it if you have it installed.

Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard can all open PDFs in Preview. Not sure what the issue is here.
