I tried downloading the patch yes.. but it is a .bin file that apple is trying to open with quick time.. How do i apply this patch? Im assuming i have to put it somewhere... .can you please help me apply it?

Not sure why its opening in quicktime. You need to extract it with StuffIt or something like TheUnarchiver. There's a file in there that you run after extracting the .bin file.

Right click, open with, then pick StuffIt or TheUnarchiver. If you don't have either you'll have to download it.
