Hi... Can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert file formats on a iBook G4?

I can't open files like .sit, .exe, .bin etc... Those are for Windows computers?

The only ones I can open are like .dmg...

Or music files.

Getting a bit fed up because the files I want to download are all in .exe format.
 
.exe means it's a Windows application. Chances are it's useless on anything other than windows. If the exe is supposed to be a self-extracting archive, then StuffIt Expander will be able to extract its contents even though you can't run the program.

.sit is a format primarily used on Macs, although they're not used so often anymore. Use StuffIt Expander to open them.

There are several kinds of .bin files. Some are archives, and some are disk images meant for burning. Two completely different formats, but they use the same suffix. Try StuffIt Expander. It'll decompress the archive type. If it's a disk image, you can mount it with Toast, or burn it to a CD-R with something like FireStarter FX.

You can get StuffIt Expander at http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/download3.html (you don't need to fill out the personal info).
