How to open AIFC file?
An often recurring problem with Compressed Audio Interchange Format is that AIFC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AIFC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AIFC 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 iTunes
In this case, you should first verify that the iTunes application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name iTunes in it.

Programs to open AIFC file
Remember to download programs supporting AIFC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iTunes with AIFC files
If, despite the installed application, the AIFC file does not start in the iTunes 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 AIFC file with the iTunes application.
Step 3. Update iTunes to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the iTunes program, it is possible that Compressed Audio Interchange Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AIFC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The AIFC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AIFC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AIFC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AIFC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AIFC 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AIFC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AIFC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the AIFC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AIFC file again. However, some background programs may block the AIFC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
