How to open * file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the * file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Mac OS X
In this case, you should first verify that the Mac OS X application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Mac OS X into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open * file
Remember to download programs supporting * files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with * files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the * file still does not use the Mac OS X program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the * file with the Mac OS X application.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mac OS X with Apple Mac OS X Certificate Assistant there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the * 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. Usually this applies to * files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our * file. However, remember that not every infected * file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of * file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular * file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted * files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the * file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file * to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the * file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
