How to open CMDT file?
An often recurring problem with Claris Dictionary is that CMDT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CMDT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CMDT 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 ClarisWorks
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ClarisWorks is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ClarisWorks in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CMDT with ClarisWorks. Below you will find a list of applications that support CMDT files.
Programs to open CMDT file
Remember to download programs supporting CMDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ClarisWorks with CMDT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CMDT file still does not use the ClarisWorks 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ClarisWorks application as the default for handling the CMDT file.
Step 3. Update ClarisWorks to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ClarisWorks program, it is possible that Claris Dictionary requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMDT 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 CMDT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CMDT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMDT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CMDT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CMDT file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 CMDT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CMDT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CMDT 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 CMDT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CMDT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
