The BOM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BOM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BOM file on each system platform.
What is BOM file?
The file with the extension BOM is the System Files file type. The author of this format is Apple. System Files consists of 323 similar files. Mac OS X Bill Of Materials Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Mac OS systems, unfortunately not on others. The File Juicer application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Echo One. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the BOM file. The Mac OS X, Apple Xcode programs will also handle the file when the File Juicer program does not fulfill its role.
How to open BOM file?
The most common problem when using Mac OS X Bill Of Materials Format is that a specific BOM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BOM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BOM 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 File Juicer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that File Juicer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name File Juicer into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BOM.
Programs to open BOM file
Remember to download programs supporting BOM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of File Juicer with BOM files
If, despite the installed application, the BOM file does not start in the File Juicer application, you must create a file 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the File Juicer application as the default for handling the BOM file.
Step 3. Update File Juicer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the File Juicer program, it is possible that Mac OS X Bill Of Materials Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Echo One website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BOM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BOM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BOM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 BOM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BOM 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 BOM 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BOM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BOM 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.
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. Copying the BOM file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BOM file again. However, some background programs may block the BOM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
