Router Firmware update
I have a Belkin 4 port router and iiNet tells me I need to get the latest firmware update. V.41 However when I download the .bin file it immediately opens to a .img file which the router will not recognise. The Mac man at iinet tried to do the same with same result. Apparently the Belkin update will not work on a Mac. Has anyone tried this or has any ideas?

Re: Router Firmware update
Lloyd, The .img file is, in fact, a disk image file: IMG files, which were used by Mac OS 9 and earlier versions of the Mac OS, were replaced by the newer .DMG disk image format in Mac OS X. Google gives more, eg: http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/img So you would need to first open the .img fie (try disk utility) Then the firmware update file should be apparent on the opened disk image away you go (hopefully!)

Lloyd Hi Lloyd If the router has to work with a .bin file (which it may do), then you could try the following. If you are using Safari, go to Preferences. Under the general tab, untick Open safe files after downloading. This should then just download the .bin file without turning it into an image file, which you can then point the Belkin router to, to work with. That should then work. Hope that helps.

Re: Router Firmware update
When I have downloaded similar files in the past I have found that OS X will open the file and show the contents, but also keep the original file intact in the place that I downloaded it to. This might be a stupid question, but have you tried looking in the place where you downloaded the file to see if the .bin file is still there?

Modem fireware update
Thanks Shay and others. I was using Safari which gave me the .img file. I tried with Firefox and it gave me the required .bin file which the router recognised. It is now upgraded and my VOIP phone is operating correctly again. I will get back to the iiNet Mac expert and let him know.

End of an Era
http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/16/1647211from=rss Apple has quietly discontinued AppleWorks, in the week that the company's spreadsheet solution, Numbers, debuted in its iWork suite. The AppleWorks website now directs users to the iWork section of the Apple site. AppleWorks was introduced before the Macintosh in 1984 and began its long twilight as abandonware in 1999. --- -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
ilife08
Having been unhappy with iMovie08 I was then stricken with the will not export syndrome with iPhoto08. This is well documented on MacFixit and elsewhere and is apparently due to plugin problems with addon plugins that are brought in at installation from the previous version. In my case a trashing of iPhoto and an effective clean reinstallation solved the problem. Others may have a period of tooth gnashing and head scratching so hope this helps. Apart from a real dumbing down of the capabilities of iMovie, which the special download of iMovie HD for 08 takes care of, I am only mildly enthusiastic about iLife08 - it seems pointed fair and square at the easy canned options approach, which is fine but the more sophisticated bits should not have been hidden in the process.

Re: ilife08 Specs
I read on the apple feedback pages that the reason for some of these problems is that the specs for running the software is quite high and a lot of people are using computers than don't meet the specs.
