Unpacking .bin files

I'm trying to find a way to unpack a .bin file, stuff it won't do it (duh). Does anyone know of any freeware to unpack bin files? I'm having a hard time finding one myself...

Try The Unarchiver (www.macupdate.com or www.versiontracker.com.) Stuffit Deluxe will indeed open .bin files.

  • Unpacking a rpm.bin file in SuSE Linux

    At the LinuxWorld conference I got a "Forte for Java 4" cd which has j2se 1.4 SDK as well as Forte for java 4 in three editions and something called j2ee BluePrints. The Linux version of the SDK is in packed form and needs to be unpacked once it is copied from the cd to a folder on the machine. How do I unpack the file so I can install it using the rpm manager?

    You're probably gonna feel a little silly, but here's the answer:
    cd /mnt/cdrom/../j2sdkwhatever.rpm.bin .
    chmod a+x j2sdk*.bin
    ./j2sdkwhatever.binI usually get the tar.gz file myself, so I can put it where I want it (usually /opt).

  • OS 9 doesn't recognize .bin file

    Hello All:
    I downloaded iTunes for my friend as described in this article:
    Hi -
    You can download iTunes 2.0.4 from this Apple KBase article -
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120073
    but my friend's Mac won't recognize the .bin file. How do I get it to recognize this file type, or is this really another problem?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    Hello Don,
    The only sensible solution in this case, as you have already pointed out, would be to obtain an appropriate Mac OS 9 install CD; both for StuffIt Expander and in order to have a bootable disc at hand.
    If an install CD is not yet available, and Bob would like to try other ways to get StuffIt Expander in the meantime, here are some additional comments:
    There is a Stuffit archive format, .sea, which can be decompressed without using Stuffit Expander. ".sea" stands for "Self-Extracting Archive" - the archive itself contains sufficient program code that it will run and decompress itself when double-clicked. I suspect that the reason that format is not used for downloads is that it acts like a program (if you do a Get Info on one it will be reported as being an application program) - and so probably has vulnerable codes.
    Yes, that is the way I see it, too. Since a PC, normally, cannot handle the resource fork of the file, the "clickability" of the .sea would get lost without a protective outer "shell" of MacBinary (.bin) or BinHex (.hqx) encoding. You would not be able to launch the built-in unpacking program of an unprotected .sea file, but it should be OK to regain the data portion by dragging the file onto a StuffIt Expander program icon (or by opening it from within StuffIt Expander). Not very useful for downloading StuffIt Expander itself, that is, if one does not have StuffIt Expander.
    For older Macs, with a built in floppy drive, I usually recommend getting a ready-to-use version of StuffIt Expander for Macintosh via a PC . This is how it works: Begin by downloading the MACDISK.EXE file here onto the PC. Prepare an empty 1.44 MB PC-formatted diskette through the FORMAT A: command in DOS or the "full" formatting option under Windows. Launch the MACDISK.EXE program on the PC. Follow the instructions on screen. The result will be a Mac-formatted floppy, complete with a StuffIt Expander 4.0.1 installer. Once installed, in a suitable environment, the 4.0.1 version can be used to decode many files. If a newer StuffIt Expander version (e.g. 5.5) is needed to handle certain decompressions, a download from ftp://ftp.allume.com/pub/archive/mac/StuffIt_Expander should now not be too difficult.
    With a more modern Mac, without a built-in floppy drive, the situation gets more complicated. Even with access to an external USB floppy drive, one can not assume that the 4.0.1 installer will run on the new machine (and if it does, the 4.0.1 program may not).
    There are PC utilities for Mac disks (an old freeware application called HFVExplorer could once be found via a Google search) which can internally process MacBinary and/or BinHex files while placing the decoded result on a plain Mac-formatted 1.44 MB floppy. This means that one can download a .bin or .hqx StuffIt Expander program file as it is (for instance, directly from the aforementioned ftp site) onto a PC (without attempting to decode or decompress in a PC file system surrounding), and then decode it while in transit to the Mac floppy. With a USB floppy drive at the Mac end, this will improve the chances to get a properly working version of StuffIt Expander.
    Some web browsers and certain email programs may be capable of directly decoding at least BinHex files. This would per se make it possible to download .hqx files from the above site, or having .hqx files sent by a friend. However, without a functioning Internet connection that would not be of any use in this very case.
    Another possibility might include decoding encoded files sent by a terminal emulation application over the telephone lines, provided that a program of a corresponding type is installed at the receiving end.

  • Can't open CS 5.0.4 Premiere Pro because of bin-file error.

    I'm on an:
    iMac
    OS X 10.6.8
    12 GB RAM
    3.06GHz
    I've had trouble with CS5 so i upgraded to CS5.0.4 PP and I cant open my project. It's a large project, over an hour long movie. I've spent over 7 grand of my own cash on it and a year of my life. This means the world to me to fix.
    whenever I open Premeire it says :
    Reverb
    Can not open bin-file.
    i understand that is an audio plug in error and i've been searching for it 10 hours. I know if i find it, remove it from the folder, it will open with all my reverbed audio gone. I'm fine with that, I can not for the life of me figure it out.
    I'm begging for help.
    Thanks,
    Brett.

  • How to output executable Bin file under linux from java

    Hi
    im beginner in java under linux and i want to out put my java programs to be bin files that can run
    if this not possilble
    how to run the output jar files with just double click ?
    does i have to run sh file that do the hob how?
    thanks in advance.

    say your main method (application's entry point) is located in a class com.my.Class,
    then first you create a text file (say, manifest.txt) that contains this line:
    Main-Class: com.my.Class
    [/code}
    and then you append this to the jar's manifest as such:
    jar cfm yourjarfile.jar manifest.txt [additional files you might want to add]

  • 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.

  • What's the meaning of the various .bin files used by SAM?

    hey everyone,
    I'm trying to understand why exactly there are so many .bin files used by the SAM, and how to compile each one of them.
    My .rc file for the simulation contains:
    load bin reset.bin 0xfff0000000
    load bin q.bin 0xfff0010000
    load bin openboot.bin 0xfff0080000
    load bin nvram1 0x1f11000000
    load bin 1c1t-md.bin 0x100000
    load bin 1c1t-hv.bin 0x180000
    load bin disk1.img 0x1f40000000
    I don't understand why I have 3 different files - reset.bin, q.bin and openboot.bin when I would have expected only one bootfile.
    I also don't know what's the meaning of the 1c1t-md.bin file (what md stands for).
    If anyone could clear this subject for me, and also point me to the sources of each such file (if they exist in the project, and assume they do, at least for most of them), I'd be grateful.
    Thanks,
    Mintz Yuval

    Hi,
    Sorry I haven't replied sooner.
    I get your project now and it sounds pretty cool.
    Let me answer your last question first. The service processor resides a separate motherboard running independently of the N2 processor. The SP and N2 processor communicate via a I2C link which allows the SP to read and alter the state of the N2. The cpu, caches, NIU, memory, etc. are all connected by this link. Once the N2 is running, the SP and the N2 firmware may exchange messages via a mailbox protocol over the I2C.
    nvram1.bin is a configuration file that is OBP specific. On HW, it would be a little ROM that obp reads during the boot. Since it's in memory, SAM doesn't make any assumptions about it. You can remove it or rework it to suit u-boot.
    disk.img is the contents of a virtual disk which contains the root filesystem. This is essentially a ram disk which has been added to SAM's version of the hypervisor and/or obp. On HW, the firmware does not support this kind of virtual ram disk. For SAM, I'm pretty sure that obp is extended to create a device tree node for the virtual disk. Hypervisor may not know about the virtual disk.
    Since disk.img is a UFS (or other Solaris-oriented) filesystem, you will probably want to replace it with a ext3 or Linux-oriented filesystem. Since Linux has direct kernel support for ramdisk, you might be able to build/configure the kernel with the location of the root filesystem image in memory. Or this might be a u-boot option.
    As to 1c1t*.bin and reset.bin. On HW, the service processor is responsible for discovering all the devices and cpus on a system and writing the machine description file (e.g. 1c1t*.bin) and the reset firmware (e.g. reset.bin). These files are used during boot and various resets to initialize or reinitialize machines state for the cpus and all the i/o devices. Since SAM doesn't include a service processor, these files are static and created completely outside of SAM. The md*.bin files contents must match the configuration of cpu's in the sam.rc file -- firmware will fail if it tries to run code on a strand that is missing.
    The md and reset.bin files are used during the boot process to set-up CMT registers and do a little bit of i/o device initialization. SAM doesn't support reset modes such as warm reset.
    I hope this helps. Let me know if you need me to track down more details.
    Cheers,
    Stephen

  • H-61MU-E35 (B3) 4MB BIOS Chip Vs 8MB BIOS BIN File - WinBond 25Q32BV

    Hello,
    I have MSI H-61MU-E35 (B3) motherboard with Ivy Bridge Processor, and everything was working fine,  Using Windows XP, I may have updated BIOS with different model no, so upon booting I was getting message that "BIOS File Not Found..."  In past, I had posted message in forum and got Big help but nothing worked nor message changed...
    So, finally I build Rayer's circuit to flash BIOS using SPIPGM Software utility. 
    Rayer's SPI Circuit and SPIPGM software is working fine. I am also able to write BIOS and retrieving it back and also comparing with what was actually written, and able to compare to make sure, its writing correctly.
    BIOS Chip Detected: Winbond 25Q32BV  (4MB)  Datasheet is Attached
    I also read Chip number visually, which is matching with what's detected by SPIPGM (Rayer's software)
    Product Page: us.msi.com/support/mb/H61MUE35_B3.html#down-bios
    Issue is:
    I have Ivy Bridge Processor and this motherboard supports Ivy Bridge Processor only with BIOS version12.x above.
    (1) All Ivy Bridge Supported BOIS BIN File size is 8 MB  and BIOS Chip size is 4 MB
    Question is: How it's possible to write 8MB BIN file with 4MB BIOS Chip ?
    There are 4MB size BIN File with older version, but that does not support Ivy Bridge Processor and with Ivy Bridge Processor in the socket, system will not boot to even say something.
    Using SPIPGM utility, when I tried to feed 8MB BIN file to BIOS chip, it's complaining me that, File Size does not match with BIOS Size...

    Hello SVet,
    THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !!!
    I downloaded your BIOS file using SPIPGM into Chip..... AND....
    After 6 month later... finally My dead board is live again and booted Windows XP as original....  Amazing....
    Agian... THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !!!

  • File corrupt-Multiband-Cannot open bin-file

    This error is KILLING me...I have had to resort to an auto save file twice where alot of re-work was required...I am losing my confidence in Premiere for getting jobs done.  I close file...its working fine, then I open it and I get an error that says:
    Mulitband
    Cannot open bin-file
    then program crashes...what is going on...I cannot find any documentation on this anywhere!
    Thnks

    What version of Premiere Pro?Have you installed the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) update? That update fixes a lot of problems.
    What operating system?
    What kind of footage are you using? Is it just happening with one specific asset?
    Has this always happened, or did it just start happening?

  • How to install rpm.bin file with rpm

    Have downloaded Java...rpm.bin for Linux. rpm doesn't recognize bin file. Can't find doc to explain what utility converts rpm.bin to simple rpm. What do I use? Thanks.

    It took me some time to figure it out,
    once you downloaded the j2sdk...rpm.bin file, it is a self installation file,
    1) make sure the file is executable
    #chmod 755 j2sdk1.4.0_01.rpm.bin
    2) execute the file
    #./j2sdk1.4.0_01.rpm.bin
    this will install the package and inflate the rpm...
    good luck.

  • Lenovo M58 (7360-AEG) - need original BIOS bin file

    Hello everybody!
    I think I have a BIOS problem with Thinkcentre M58.
    I try bios recovery procedure with .iso file, jumper, etc, but nothing happens.
    So I will try to programming bios chip with bios programmer. I found some bios files, but not the correct one.
    If somebody can help me with original bios .rom or .bin file, I will be very grateful.
    I save the present file and I see it's 4096KB, but files that I found are 2MB or less.
    Thans in advance.
    Happy weekend to all.

    No worries, Liken, as I already wrote, I was trying to flash 65cn13ww, and it failed for some reason.
    Being curious, I started the laptop again with F2 to check the current BIOS version, and what did I read: 65cn13ww!
    Yep, the same BIOS that I was trying to flash.
    I think Lenovo has a lot of explaining to do.
    But then again, when I follow some threads, I don't think Lenovo gives a sh...., seeing that most forum visitors don't get ANY answer or are still waiting for one.
    Shame on them and I'm very disappointed, particularly about Lenovo's attitude towards the loyal customers!

  • Cant open the bin- file ??

    I dont know why but recently my premiere project wont open whilst others will. i have a hunch it may be because my project bin in the project has over 1000 clips in it. i have 4gbs of memory on my imac. has anyone else ever had this message whilst it loads up then crashes-
    DeNoiser2 - could not open the bin- file
    i know i posted this 2 days ago but if anyone has a fix i so desperately need it.

    The .bin file is an image file of the router's firmware.  It does not need to be "opened" or "unzipped".  The .bin file is loaded into the router "as is".

    If you have no luck with decompression tools available within Lion or Snow Leopard, you might want to consider that either those Atari ROMS are simply not decompressible with or without existing tools, or that perhaps they were originally compressed using something else.
    After I read your post, I thought maybe there is a functional Atari emulator for OS X that would have tools to deal with those Atari ROMS. That lead me to the Hatari emulator sources. Among the pre-requsites for building Hatari, was also obtaining and building Zlib from Github sources. Apparently, Zlib is its own compression/decompression animal that appears to used for .png data compression in libpng. It apparently will also deflate compressed data within PDF files.
    It is a stretch to presume that Atari ROMS may be compressed with Zlib, but since nothing else may have worked, it might be possible that the Zlib library could be the can opener you need. It may be worth reading further.
    On the Zlib site, they have a link to a heavily documented stream I/O source file called zpipe.c. There is a downloadable copy of it. You do not need to download the Zlib library code or anything else. Just get this zpipe.c file. I have Mountain Lion and the zlib include file and library are already included in the OS, as they are in Lion. I have not found any Zlib command line tools in either OS X release though.
    I have Xcode 4.5.2 and command-line tools installed in ML. You won't need Xcode itself, just the command-line GNU C++ compiler. You need to open zpipe.c in the editor of your choice and change the following line only:
    From                               To
    #include "zlib.h"                #include <zlib.h>
    Now, save the file.
    Compile it in the Terminal (on Mountain Lion 10.8.2, the library file name is libz.1.2.5.dylib)
    g++ -O2 -o zpipe zpipe.c /usr/lib/libz.1.1.3.dylib
    I got a clean compile on Mountain Lion with the 1.2.5 version.
    I haven't been amazed in awhile, so if this works, it will be worth it.
    You would use zpipe in the following manner from the terminal to possibly deflate [ -d ] a COPY of an Atari ROM file.
    zpipe [ -d ] < Atari ROM file > Dest File
