Help - FSM Manual is for PC only

KBrummer-KY · 05-21-08, 02:41 PM

I can't be the only Mac out here? I just tried to log on to the FSM manual and it's for PC only. Does anyone know a way around this. Has anyone downloaded it to a PDF. Would you be willing to share or sell.

Thanks.
Kevin

I run Parallels Desktop which allows me to run Windows XP/Vista on my Mac.

Not sure what FSM you're using, the online TIS service is a PDF, which is savable to your drive. If you bought one of the $9 manuals off Ebay, that may be the case.

The FSM tech support tells me you can't get to the PDF unless you are on a PC running explorer so they can use a specific plug-in.

If you are getting the PDF another way, please let me know and I'll see if it works.

It's TIS (Toyota Info System) that you're talking with? On my PC, using Firefox, I just click on which module I want and it opens a PDF, which has a save icon.

You could try on of the cheapy CDs on Ebay, I think that's just someone who'd used the old way of auto downloading all the PDFs and has burned them to a disc. Or, just get the paper FSM.

Yes, TIS tech support. Sorry.
Well it sounds pretty straight forward and I have Firefox on my mac. I'll give it a shot. & see what happens. Thanks for the help.

you should be able to save the viewed PDF in either firefox or safari. you could also (right click [control]) the link and use the save linked file. that should do it on your mac.
