Ok, this worked for me:
Download the following file:
http://web1.evenbalance.com/downloads/cod4/mc002301.mac
After the file is downloaded place it into the install path
>pb/dll folder.
Finally.

Have you tried right-click on the link and save as?
And sometimes it saves it as mc002301.mac.mac, if so change it to mc002301.mac.
This is what I suggested above - I really don't understand why some people are still complaining. Have they saved all files into the correct folders?
I'm sorry but how do we know that is not a virus? I can not find it anywhere on the www.evenbalance.com website. What is with the web1 part of that url?
can you explain where on the site to find that link if i go to the evenbalance.com page? It's not on the download page
See my other post above - it had the evenbalance link to the manual downloads page (Mac users are supposed to download three files).
Thanks for that. I'm just a little untrusting of websites that are just slightly different to the main site.
Yeah been there, but I'm sorry that link you provided does not have a link to that .mac file.
There are only two mac files on that page, both of the .htm files.
That is clearly where the confusion is coming from. The link that MrNeo posted to the Aspyr support forum has an Aspyr rep pointing to the link.
It's not on that page you link to however (at least not for me and I dare say most people with this problem)

I confirm that this link does work and you have to put it in the right places, there are 2 places you need to put it. Here is a link that will help you because I dont feel like explaining it http://support.aspyr.com/entries/214...lems-with-cod4 and I once again say it did work for me and will for you as long as your not a noob.

NO the link does not work here - NOISE
Link does not work in Safari

What the heck is a .mac file? Is someone trying to spread virus crap?

Finally success - use the .mac file
If you correctly recreate the two required PB folders and insert the downloaded .mac file in both, it works.
Made a new PB folder on the desktop.
Dropped the .mac file into it.
Opened pb_setup on this new PB folder, select COD4, browse to find this new pb folder
Run Check for Updates.
Look in two folders:
Applications/COD4/Data/PB
User/Library/Application Support/COD4/PB
Trash both PB folders.
Replace with your newly created PB folder w the .mac file.
Open COD4, enable pb.

The first link i posted isnt a clickable link, you right click it, save it, then show in finder copy it and drop it in you "dll" file. the second link explains it fully.
Well forget my solution above. KICKED after 5 mins.
Forget my solution above. KICKED again after 5 minutes. Dannngitttt!

Playing once again, 20 minutes straight. Success.
Having run the pb_setup and updated CORRECTLY, there are two files not mentioned until today. One is called, "fix.html" and the other, "pbsec.htm" that will go into the HTM folder, making sure the new "mc002301.mac" file is in the PB folder.
On my computer I have two PB folders:
Applications/COD4/Data/PB
User/Library/Application Support/COD4/PB
I made one new pb folder on my desktop and placed it in two places mentioned.

I'll say it one more time, dude follow what i am saying, your ways are complicated and dont work. This works, i posted this on my clans forums: This link will not take you anywhere when you click it so don't try, http://web1.evenbalance.com/downloads/cod4/mc002301.mac this is like the update files that didn't work. So right click it and save it, then go to show in finder and copy it. You are going to post it in two places, first go to your "pb" file and paste it in "dll" under pb like you did with the others that didn't work, next place is go to Finder-->Name--->Library--->Application support--->Call of Duty 4--->pb--->dll and paste it in there. You should have 3 files in each place that i mentioned (two should have already been there) Any questions you have just xfire me: flclaxds
Once more, the three files to be downloaded are here:
http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-cod4.php
(one security file + two PB files).
It worked for me, so I don't understand why it shouldn't work for the rest of you.
