How to open DPCACHE file?
An often recurring problem with Apple IPhoto Cache is that DPCACHE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DPCACHE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPCACHE 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 iPhoto
In this case, you should first verify that the iPhoto application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name iPhoto into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DPCACHE files.
Programs to open DPCACHE file
Remember to download programs supporting DPCACHE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iPhoto with DPCACHE files
If, despite the installed application, the DPCACHE file does not start in the iPhoto 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DPCACHE file with the iPhoto program.
Step 3. Update iPhoto to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the iPhoto program, it is possible that Apple IPhoto Cache requires a newer version of the program. 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 DPCACHE 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DPCACHE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DPCACHE file. Sometimes virus-infected DPCACHE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DPCACHE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DPCACHE 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 DPCACHE 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 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 DPCACHE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DPCACHE 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.
