Apple Dmg File Zip Cannot Extract

If 7-Zip cannot extract your DMG file, then you should try DMG Extractor and, optionally, decide whether its worth buying the professional version.

In addition to extracting DMG files, you can use 7-Zip to extract most types of compressed files out there, including ZIP, CAB, ISO, RAR, and WIM, to name just few.

It also lets you create your own compressed files in ZIP, WIM, 7z, and a few other formats.

Choose Extract Files to select a folder where the files are extracted, Extract Here to extract files to the same folder where the DMG file is, or Extract to foldername to create a new folder named after the DMG file and extract the files to that new folder.

The free version works well, but it does have some limitations.

You can browse the files right in the DMG Extractor window if you just want to see whats inside the DMG file.

You can extract all files to the desktop or a folder of your choosing, or you can extract only files youve selected.
