If you DO have a file named *.bin, but the kindle isn't letting you "update this kindle" .... are we sure it's the RIGHT bin file? They only work for the correct model, so having the wrong one may give this same problem.
The previous suggestions you made, finder and safari were already setup like that. I am stuck at step #2. Doing a factory reset. The reset works but it wants me to start personalizing it again. At what point in this process am I supposed to be able to plug in the the kindle and have the mac recognized it?

I have the kindle plugged in and am copying the bin file over to it. I know it is the correct bin based on the file name. Once that's done, based on past performance, after unplugging and letting the kindle boot up, it will ask me to start updating it with stuff like connecting to wifi before I get to a menu screen. Is this correct, that I will have do to some of the personalization?
