How to open APLT file?

An often recurring problem with Mac OS X AppleScript Applet is that APLT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file APLT 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 APLT 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 AppleScript Editor

The first step is to check if the computer has the AppleScript Editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing AppleScript Editor into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support APLT files.

Programs to open APLT file

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

Step 2. Create association of AppleScript Editor with APLT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the APLT file to open in the AppleScript Editor application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the APLT file with the AppleScript Editor application.

Step 3. Update AppleScript Editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AppleScript Editor program with the Mac OS X AppleScript Applet file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the APLT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the APLT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected APLT 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 APLT 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.
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 APLT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file APLT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the APLT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the APLT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
