Beautiful!! Sweet!!
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed. Peace, Love, and Light, Jon C.

Hi there, as a quick pointer - from one of my apps licensing code. Assuming that MACAddress is the beasty UInt8 struct, the following should work: NSString *addressString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x",MACAddress[0], MACAddress[1], MACAddress[2], MACAddress[3], MACAddress[4], MACAddress[5]]; Cheers, Volker Am 19.02.2009 um 19:26 schrieb Jon C. Munson II: Namaste! Per Apple's GetPrimaryMACAddress sample (found in Technical Note TN1103), I can obtain a MAC address for a given Mac. However, when I try to output that address to the screen, I get nothing. So, my issue is, what do I do with the return value found inside that sample so that it is output in the "standard" format of a MAC address? The return value from IO Kit is a UInt8 struct which is filled with the bytes of the MAC address. I need to convert that to an NSString. Which I did using stringWithUTF8Format - the raw conversion works fine. However, due to the actual characters in the string, the return string isn't valid. I'm guessing I need to do some further conversion prior to passing back the actual string, but not sure what, nor how. It looks preliminarily to me that I need to change the UInt8 byte array to an array that contains the hex values of said bytes - is that correct? If so, how do I do that (as simple as obtaining the character codes?)? I know that may be a noob question, but I'm not usually delving into the lower levels of such stuff so I don't remember - sorry!
