How to open BASECONFIG file?

The most common problem when using AirPort Utility Setting is that a specific BASECONFIG is not associated with the program. This causes the file BASECONFIG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BASECONFIG 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the Mac OS X program installed. This can be achieved by typing Mac OS X into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BASECONFIG files.

Programs to open BASECONFIG file

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

Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with BASECONFIG files

If, despite the installed application, the BASECONFIG file does not start in the Mac OS X application, you must create a file association. 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 select the desired program. 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 BASECONFIG file with the Mac OS X application.

Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Mac OS X program with the AirPort Utility Setting 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 Apple, Inc. page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The BASECONFIG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BASECONFIG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 BASECONFIG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BASECONFIG 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 BASECONFIG 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BASECONFIG 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 BASECONFIG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BASECONFIG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BASECONFIG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BASECONFIG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
