Step 3. Update Apple Finder to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Apple Finder program, it is possible that Mac OS X Text Clipping Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TEXTCLIPPING file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TEXTCLIPPING file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TEXTCLIPPING file. Sometimes virus-infected TEXTCLIPPING files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TEXTCLIPPING files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TEXTCLIPPING file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TEXTCLIPPING files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TEXTCLIPPING file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TEXTCLIPPING file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TEXTCLIPPING file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
