How to open CONTENTS file?
The main problem with MAC OS X is that the CONTENTS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CONTENTS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CONTENTS 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mac OS X is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mac OS X in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CONTENTS files.
Programs to open CONTENTS file
Remember to download programs supporting CONTENTS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with CONTENTS files
If, despite the installed application, the CONTENTS file does not start in the Mac OS X 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. 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. 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 CONTENTS file.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mac OS X with MAC OS X there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CONTENTS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CONTENTS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CONTENTS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CONTENTS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CONTENTS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CONTENTS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CONTENTS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CONTENTS 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.
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. It is best to move CONTENTS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CONTENTS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CONTENTS file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
