as far as i know you just go into your itunes movies and select file at the top toolbar. then you press add file to library and find the quicktime file. it should work

download 7zip. i think its for mac, if not, see if they have winrar for macs. a .rar is a compressed file, you need a file decompressor to open it....

a .rar is an archive, kinda like a .zip. You need to download a program to extract the files from the archive.

I think 7zip is only for windoze, but its def legit.

but anyway, just google 'rar mac' or something, its not hard to find something that does what you need

-Get a .rar program...Just google .rar programs for mac
--The .rar files should of all been downloaded into one folder
Go to the folder and right click one of the .rar files
-And than click the option that says something along the lines of "extract all files to a single folder" or something like that
-Than they should all extract into the folder u chose and become a .avi or .mov or w/e

That should help. If it doesn't just google how to extract .rar files.
