Step 2. Create association of Adium with ADIUMMENUBARICONS files
If, despite the installed application, the ADIUMMENUBARICONS file does not start in the Adium application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ADIUMMENUBARICONS file with the Adium program.
Step 3. Update Adium to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adium with Adium Menu Bar Icon there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Adium Team website and install the latest version.
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ADIUMMENUBARICONS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ADIUMMENUBARICONS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ADIUMMENUBARICONS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ADIUMMENUBARICONS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ADIUMMENUBARICONS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ADIUMMENUBARICONS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The Adium Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ADIUMMENUBARICONS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ADIUMMENUBARICONS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ADIUMMENUBARICONS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ADIUMMENUBARICONS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
