How to open APC file?
An often recurring problem with AiroPeek Wireless Trace Capture is that APC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file APC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the APC 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 AiroPeek
In this case, you should first verify that the AiroPeek application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name AiroPeek into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file APC with AiroPeek. Below is a list of programs that support the file APC.
Programs to open APC file
Remember to download programs supporting APC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AiroPeek with APC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the APC file still does not use the AiroPeek program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the APC file with the AiroPeek program.
Step 3. Update AiroPeek to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AiroPeek program with the AiroPeek Wireless Trace Capture file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WILDPACKETS, INC. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the APC file
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 APC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to APC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the APC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected APC 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 APC files changes over time. 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 APC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting WILDPACKETS, INC., 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 file APC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move APC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the APC 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.
