Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with DISKCOPY42 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DISKCOPY42 file to open in the Mac OS X application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DISKCOPY42 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DISKCOPY42 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DISKCOPY42 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DISKCOPY42 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 DISKCOPY42 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 DISKCOPY42 file corruption. 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DISKCOPY42 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DISKCOPY42 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DISKCOPY42 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DISKCOPY42 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
