    I unrared a file and now I have a folder on my desktop that is 70 MB but the files must be hidden? How do I view the hidden files? Or is there a way to unrar them and them not be hidden?

    I opened UnRarX and then dragged and dropped the .rar file into it. After that it did unrar it. But the folder only shows 5 items out of 28.

    I opened up windows and winrar immediately unrared it without issue and all 28 files work just fine.

    I'd still like to figure it out on how to do it on the mac side though.

    you might try stuffit expander, its the general unarchiving tool for mac. although it once had trouble with a rar that i had. something similar to what you described. it might just have to do with how the rar was made.

    My personal favourite is The Unarchiver. It opens virtually everything.

    Just download the latest unrar for MacOSX - yes, it's command line but console is your friend ;)
