How to open ATLOC file?
The main problem with Apple Mac OS X Finder is that the ATLOC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ATLOC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ATLOC 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ATLOC with Mac OS X. Below you will find a list of applications that support ATLOC files.
Programs to open ATLOC file
Remember to download programs supporting ATLOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with ATLOC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ATLOC file still does not use the Mac OS X 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mac OS X application as the default for handling the ATLOC file.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Mac OS X program, it is possible that Apple Mac OS X Finder requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ATLOC 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ATLOC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ATLOC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ATLOC 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 ATLOC files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ATLOC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ATLOC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ATLOC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ATLOC to close. 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.
