What is AAP file?

The file with the extension AAP is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by Heikki Ylinen. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. Apollo Advanced Playlist appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Apollo. This was created by Heikki Ylinen.

How to open AAP file?

An often recurring problem with Apollo Advanced Playlist is that AAP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file AAP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AAP 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 Apollo

The first step is to check if the computer has the Apollo program installed. To do this, enter the name Apollo into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file AAP.

Programs to open AAP file

Remember to download programs supporting AAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Apollo with AAP files

If, despite the installed application, the AAP file does not start in the Apollo application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AAP file with the Apollo program.

Step 3. Update Apollo to the latest version

If, however, after binding Apollo with Apollo Advanced Playlist there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Heikki Ylinen website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AAP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 AAP file. Sometimes virus-infected AAP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AAP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AAP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Heikki Ylinen, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AAP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AAP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the AAP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
