Hi everyone,

I just installed VLC player and apparently it changed the regular .bin file association to VLC Player and now I can't install any new software packages that have a .bin extension.

Is there any way that I can restore the original file association or remove VLC player as the default app for .bin files?



Thanks,

I just got a new macbook yesterday and I'm new at this

    - Do Get Info (Apple-I) on the File

    - Select "Open With..."

    - Select your application

    - Click "Change all..."



    Done!

    Thanks,

    But what is the correct application that should be associated with the .bin extension? What do I change it to in order to install .bin packages?
