Programs to open CLIPPING file

Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X Finder with CLIPPING files

The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 CLIPPING file with the Mac OS X Finder application.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X Finder to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Mac OS X Finder program, it is possible that Apple Mac OS X Finder requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CLIPPING file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The CLIPPING file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CLIPPING files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CLIPPING file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CLIPPING files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CLIPPING file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CLIPPING file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CLIPPING 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. Copying the CLIPPING file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CLIPPING file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
