How to open APPLEDOUBLE file?
The main problem with Apple AppleDouble Resource is that the APPLEDOUBLE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file APPLEDOUBLE 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 APPLEDOUBLE 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 Mac OS X
In this case, you should first verify that the Mac OS X application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Mac OS X into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support APPLEDOUBLE files.
Programs to open APPLEDOUBLE file
Remember to download programs supporting APPLEDOUBLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with APPLEDOUBLE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the APPLEDOUBLE file to open in the Mac OS X application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 APPLEDOUBLE file with the Mac OS X program.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mac OS X with Apple AppleDouble Resource 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 Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the APPLEDOUBLE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The APPLEDOUBLE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to APPLEDOUBLE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the APPLEDOUBLE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected APPLEDOUBLE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of APPLEDOUBLE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair APPLEDOUBLE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, 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 APPLEDOUBLE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the APPLEDOUBLE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the APPLEDOUBLE 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.
