How to open DCPY file?
The main problem with Disk Copy is that the DCPY file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DCPY, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DCPY 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 Disk Copy
The first step is to check if the computer has the Disk Copy program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Disk Copy in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DCPY.
Programs to open DCPY file
Remember to download programs supporting DCPY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Disk Copy with DCPY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DCPY file to open in the Disk Copy application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DCPY file with the Disk Copy program.
Step 3. Update Disk Copy to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Disk Copy program with the Disk Copy 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 DCPY file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DCPY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DCPY file contents when downloading or copying. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DCPY file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DCPY 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 DCPY file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DCPY 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DCPY 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DCPY file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DCPY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
