Can't open .bin files downloaded from Belkin's site

I can't get firmware updates from Belkin's website to open. Supposedly they're in .bin archives including instructions and the firmware. I even updated my Stuffit Expander to version 10. No luck.
If I drag the bin file onto expander it pops up a dialog box (that goes by too fast to read in less than 7 or 8 tries ) but there's never anything expanded to the desktop (the folder where the .bin file is).
This is the file I need http://www.belkin.com/support/download/downloaddetails.asp?download=993 and I've tried also to open files from this page too http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&aid=5027
Can anyone make a suggestion on how to get this file expanded or is the linked file just a corrupt file? Thanks.

Did you take the trouble to read the install.pdf file located on the same download page as the firmware file?
I actually read the instructions elsewhere on that site. I don't ask for help without trying to find the answers on my own. For example, before posting, I did both a Google search on "can't open .bin files" and also did a search on the discussion boards too. Or was that a rhetorical question?
It gives specific instructions on installation.
I wasn't asking about installation instructions.
You don't open the .bin file with Stuffit. It's not an archive. It's actually a binary file.
Stuffit Expander was listed as the default application when using CMD-I AND elsewhere on that site it said it was a Mac archive .bin file. The fact that it's NOT a .bin archive file is news to me. Thanks.
If you continue to have a problem contact Belkin's tech support. Apple Discussions does not provide support for third-party products.
I wasn't asking for support with a Belkin product. I was asking for help getting what I thought was a Mac formatted .bin archive open using my Mac. I provided a link to the file because I thought perhaps it was corrupt.
No need to get your knickers in a bunch.
Thanks for explaining that it's not a .bin archive because obviously I was not going to figure that out on my own based on what I read elsewhere.

Acrobat Reader can't open PDF file downloaded from the internet

I downloaded the following pdf file from the internet and saved it to the desktop. When I tried to open the file I got a message saying Acrobat couldn't open it. I do not have trouble opening other PDF files. There is something about opening certain PDF files from the internet that is causing this. Is there a setting in the PDF preferences that is causing this or some security setting.

It seems that Safari is unable to export the document as a PDF because the exported file was zero bytes. That's why I couldn't open it. I tried Firefox and did a File>Save. It saved the file as a PDF which I was able to open. So proglem solved.

Can't open any apps downloaded from the internet after installing application loader update and messages beta

I've run into an unusual problem recently. I think it it related to two recent software installs.The problem only started after i installed the new application loader.
My issue : I'm unable to open application I downloaded from the web. I get the following error message below.
Question: Has anyone else run into this issue and do you have a solution?
Thanks for you help.
P.S I haven't tried rolling back the lastest softwarte installs yet. I'm hoping I can avoid that.

When I press cancel nothing happens. I can do nothing and it still won't load the program.

My PowerBook G4 pops up an error when attempting to open a file downloaded from the internet. Help?

When I attempt to open the application that IS compatible with Mac it says "Safari can't open the file "blank" because there is no available application to open it" How can I get an application to open it?

What kind of file? Have you tried setting an application to open it in Get Info?

Can't open .bin file (trying to install windows media player)

I'm trying to install windows media player on my brand new macbook pro. I downloaded the .bin file and have installed Stuffit Expander. When i try to open the .bin file, stuffit opens to the progress window and tells me that its preparing but nothing happens. it just freezes on me. i've openeother .bin files with no problem. How can I open this .bin file?
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I hope you are aware that the Windows Media Player plug-in will not work with Safari because it's not a universal binary. Furthermore, WMP is no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead you should download and install Flip4Mac (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
Although the WMP plug-in for Safari will not work on an Intel Mac, the player will work fine through the Rosetta emulator. If you are insistent upon using WMP with Safari, then after you install WMP and the plug-in, select Safari's application icon, press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the option "Open using Rosetta." This will force Safari to run as a PPC app.
If Stuffit Expander will not open the .bin archive then check to be sure you are using the current version of it. If you continue having problems then try using TheUnarchiver instead (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) It's also possible you have a defective download.

Can't open word files sent from my 9500 to E90

Can some one please help me,
word documents sent to my E90 from my 9500 won't open,
message says :Unable to open file not supported,
It all started with data mover, Contact & Calendar entries are fine but document folders are recognised but won't open,
Nokia suggested using drag & drop, using Pc suit
with the 9500 connected drag all wanted files from the phone into my Pc then connect the E90 and reverse the process, files appear but I can't open them,
Then I was told to e-mail from my Pc as an attachment,
did'nt work either, doesn't matter how you get the files into the E90 you don't seem to be able to open them.
So, is it possable to get word files into an E90 from a 9500
Thank you.

Open Word file in 9500, choose "Save as" from the Menu and you will have an option on one of the buttons at the right of the screen regarding the Format. Press that button and choose MS Word format. If you save all your Word files like this you should be able to open them on E90.
This is from memory alone. If I was not clear enough, please let me know and I will give you more detailed instructions. Good luck.
Me again, opened and a file in my 9500 and saved it in MS Word 97 then using Pc Suit copied it from one phone into the other, but once again I get the same message (Unable to open.. File type not supported)
I don't know if all E90's come with the same programs pre-loaded, in mine I have a program entitled Quick Office in which it says you can open and manipulate Word files along with Excel and also Lotus Notes but first you have to purchase and download software from Nokia to activate it,
I have found that if I go into Quick Office and write a document in word then save it, I get the same message as above when I try to open it,
As I said in my previous message, I suspect I will have to purchase the Quick Office software from Nokia,
I look forward to hearing your thoughts,
Kind Regards.

ERROR OPENING PDF FILES DOWNLOADED FROM INTERNET

I have a problem when I download a pdf file from Internet and I try to open in throughout Acrobat Reader. It appeared one error saying "The file path is not valid". What can I do?.

Hi there,
I found this can happen if the file does not download correctly. When this happens, simply try redownloading the file and wait until it has fully downloaded before doing anything else with the browser.
Does that work now?

I have a problem with opening PDF files downloaded from anywhere!

I can view them ok in Safari, but when I save and download them, they are displayed with the Preview image and will not open.
When I click them, a message says that 'the file may be damaged or not recognised by Preview'.
I have cleaned up my computer (apple help ) but still, the problem remains. I downloaded the same file to my MacBook pro, and it saved it in the usual PDF format, (completely different image from above), and opened perfectly well.
I have checked the settings in Preview and they seem to be set correctly so that Preview will open PDF files.
What next?
I am desperate!
Jennifer

See if you can delete any Adobe PDF plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/. Then quit and re-open your web browser and try again.

Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite cannot open word files downloaded from email.

I have recently installed OSX Yosemite on my late 2010 macbook air. Since upgrading I have been unable to open files in Word that I have downloaded from my email. Old word files seem to work fine. My university has given faculty access to "Office 365" and that is what I use for my email. However whenever I try and download a word file from my email the computer opens word for a second - I can see the first page of the document - and then immediately closes. This happens regardless of whether or not I open the file from my computer in my desktop or in my downloads folder, or just download another copy from my email. The word file works fine on another windows computer, it's only on this mac that Office 2011 crashes every time I try and open this new file. Please advise?

A web site for the community I live in. I can get into the site but when I try to open a PDF file all I get is a grey screen. I can open PDF files from mail, and other sites.

How to update the codec on laptop 2 open my files downloaded from camcorder

I recently purchased a Sony HDR-TG7VE Camcorder and have downloaded the software for this onto my laptop, however after downloading the movie clips onto my laptop I am unable to open the files.
I contacted Sony and they said it is a problem with my laptop and I need to contact Toshiba to update the Codec.
The message I am getting is "Windows cannot open this file. To open this file windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.
what do you want to do - use the web service to find the correct program
- select a program from a list of installed programs"
I am using windows vista business 32 bit operating system.
The camcorder is an HD camcorder.

It is really irresponsible to get such answer from cam manufacturer.
They offer product and they must support you with this. it is logic that recorded files should be open on every PC desktop or notebook.
Following their logic everyone who hast this cam and want to watch movies on PCs must contact PC manufacturers for support. It is really crazy.
I don't know nothing about this cam but usually you should have some software dist with software that can help you to watch the movies or maybe to convert the files in other format and watch the movies with standard players like Windows media player or VLC player.

Error while opening PDF file downloaded from database Blob column

Hi All,
I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type*
or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Kanika

Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
Here is the code snippet ..
byte[] buff;
buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = is.read();
int b = is.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
if(blobDomian != null) {
TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
am.getTransaction().commit();
This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
Any thoughts from your side ???
Thanks
Kanika
The problem is resolved.
Changes made are instead of
InputStream is;
used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
and after
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = bis.read();
int b = bis.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

Can't open *any* files downloaded by Firefox

I am running Firefox 13.0.1 on a Mac Powerbook under Mac OS 10.7.4. Firefox seems to download the files very nicely, but when I try to open them, I have gotten the error message "File does not exist" and it mentions my download folder. There's more to that error message, but I don't remember and I can't reproduce it. Now I'm getting "Preview can't open the .pdf" or "File not recognized". I've disabled the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI plugin, and that hasn't helped the problem. Safari downloads the same files just fine, so it seems to be a Firefox problem. Please help!
Thanks,
Amerie

Please update to the current Firefox 14.0.1 version to see if that fixes the problem.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

Do you have any Anti-virus software installed that may be causing this?
