I just received the palm pixi plus, it is from at&t, but I need it Unblocked because I live abroad and have no data plan in the USA, so I'm following the instruction from:

https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/developing_on_an_unactivated_device.html

    Download the activation-bypass tool, which is available here, and save it in the location of your choice.
    Boot your device into recovery mode, as described above.
    Run the activation-bypass tool from the command line by issuing the following command: java -jar devicetool.jar

When I download the devicetool.jar to my MacBook, it does not work, it download as a folder, and I cannot run the activation-bypass tool

How can I solve this issue?

Is it a problem of the devicetool.jar for the Mac?

First, make sure you have Java installed on your Mac. If Java is not installed, then you won't be able to run this file. Most 3rd party archive managers treat .jar files a simple archive file whereas Java will run it as an app.

Hi, thanks for your answer. YES I do have JAVA SE6 in my MacBook, and once I download the devicetool.jar it opens with a Jar Launcher (13.6.0) and the StuffIt Expander, but opens as a Folder (with 3 folders inside: com, org, META-INF) and I cannot execute the devicetool.jar

Sounds like StuffIt Exander is opening the file. I don't own a Mac, so I don't know how to do this, but can you force the file to open with another application (maybe control clicking on it and selecting Open With) Then choose the Jar Launcher?

It seems that the problem is related to this issue that I found in another Forum: "can't run .jar file using java launcher in Mac OSX 10.6" 

I don't know how to solve it.
