Fix damaged RAR file and CRC error - Mac
Firstly download all the files without any interruptions and ensure all the RAR files are of the size as specified on the download site/link.
Download Mac OSX port of the RAR program, from http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm. Decompress the downloaded file.
Open the terminal and drag the file named rar from the decompressed folder to the terminal window. Then make sure there's a space, then type "r" (without the quotes). Then make sure there's another space. Then drop the file you want repaired onto the terminal window (it'll give the path and name of the file). Then make sure there's another space, and type "Users/yourname/Desktop" or wherever you want the fixed file placed. It may be easier to just drag and drop the folder where you want it placed onto the terminal window again so there's no chance at typos.
Then hit "return" and the repair scan will start. if the file has a recovery record, it will say that it was found almost immediately. Then it goes about repairing the file. Depending on the size of the file, it may take a couple minutes.
Note that the file will have the prefix "fixed" appended to the beginning of the filename. You'll need to delete that once the repair process has completed before you attempt to join the files again.

External hard drives are just one of the many data storage options available to consumers, and they're typically pretty easy to configure with both Windows and Mac computers. If Mac users find their computer no longer recognizes their external hard drive, they may be able to resolve the matter without extensive Mac repairs.
