How to open .bin files on Mac?

Hey, I was wondering, how do we view .bin files on Mac computers? The .bin files that I have are generally movies, so I want to extract them sumhow to allow me to watch the file. In Windows, I would usually use a program called Alcohol 120% to mount the image on the harddrive, and then open a media player and watch it thru there...Im not sure if anyone, knows what Im talk about.. but thanks

There's no such thing as .bin video format.
".bin" is normally an extension used by a CD image file. CD image itself is a "snapshot" of a CD disc that can contain virtually anything -- a software, a VCD movie, an SVCD movie, a game, X rated images, etc.
For .bin files, you should always try open the .bin file first -- think it as a helluva big "zip file" that fits usually perfectly to a single CDR disc.
For opening such image, you have two options -- you can burn it to a CDR and see what it has inside it after you've burned the disc.

How to extract .bin file on mac?

Dear Team,
How to extract .bin file on mac os ? please help me
regards,
kalai

Although the link posted by the other responder shows .bin files to be a copy of RAW CD or DVD data in my experience most .bin files are some type of configuration file mainly used with internet routers and other pieces of PC/Networking equipment.
Just where did this .bin file come from and what is it associated with that you are trying to open on your Mac?
If it is a router configuration file that you downloaded you don't open it on the Mac. You log into your router and go to the update firmware section and browse to that file stored on your Mac hard drive and let the router handle opening and updated the routers firmware.

How to open mdb file in mac os?

seems mac office doesn't contain access, so is there any other app can open mdb file in mac os?
hopefully it is right to ask such question here.
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks a lot!

I just bought your app and it's the BOMB! Meaning it works, not that it crashes. I just wasted over an hour with some aftermarket driver ($39 if I bought it) for Open Office and got some little dribble of my tables after a setup that was agony. Your app opened the files in 1 second to a perfectly clean interface and exported them just as nicely to my choice of several things that can open in Filemaker. I love guys like you : )

How to open .php files on mac

when i tried to click to listen to an audio online, i get this message "the flip for mac plug-in needs your permission to run it".
Then i clicked "run" and get this:
"Track.php
QuickTime Player can't open "track.php" because the movie's file format isn't recognized.
To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
Thanks.

What am I massing here? A .php file is not a movie or sound file. It's script (text I believe). It's on the server. Even if you downloaded it you couldn't do anything with it other than steer at the code (text). Wiki has as good a definition as any as to what php files are.
I would assume that when you click on a php link on a web site it cause code on the server to do what is instructed by that script. If it's to play a movie or sound or whatever that that is what the script is instructing the server to do.
If you clicked on a link and got the error you saw in your first post then there is a problem with that web page's html (another scripting language) and it's access to executing the .php file.
Some references:
Learn PHP - A Beginner's Guide to PHP Programing

I guess the answer to your original question in the title of this thread -- how do you open .php files? -- you don't.

You can use Gmail to view XPS files. It's fairly easy: attach/upload the XPS file and send it to your own email address. Then open the new email and hit the "view" button.

How do you open .bin files?

I'm having trouble opening .bin files. It tries to open using StuffIt expander, but no dice. .dmg files are no problem. Anyone got any ideas?

Try opening StuffIt Expander first, then dragging the .bin file onto the application's window; if StuffIt Expander won't expand the file when it's dragged onto it, the file may be incomplete or corrupt.

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.

HOW TO OPEN WINDAT FILES

How to open windat files which come along with E mails from microsoft users ?

That is priceless, "you can ignore winmail.dat...." No I can't. They are often a drawing or purchase order I require for a job.
I am running outlook on my mac and I still can't open them. All my other devices open these attachments no problem (none of them are apple). The people sending me these attachments are using macs. The only thing that has changed since I started encountering this problem is my hardware. I still use outlook, I have the same email address. The PDF attachments are being sent by the same people in the same way. When I had an iphone they opened on there too. Why do all the people on this forum keep blaming microsoft. Why can't macs read microsoft RTF, much like gmail or yahoo manage to do.
I cannot go asking busy project managers to send me attachments in a different format simply because I bought what I thought to be a decent computer.

How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
To repartition:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
