How to open DT_ file?
The main problem with Macintosh Data Fork is that the DT_ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DT_, 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 DT_ 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 ResourceAccesor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ResourceAccesor is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ResourceAccesor in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DT_ with ResourceAccesor. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DT_ files.
Programs to open DT_ file
Remember to download programs supporting DT_ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ResourceAccesor with DT_ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DT_ file to open in the ResourceAccesor application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DT_ file with the ResourceAccesor application.
Step 3. Update ResourceAccesor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ResourceAccesor program, it is possible that Macintosh Data Fork requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DT_ 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DT_ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DT_ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DT_ 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 DT_ 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DT_ files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DT_ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DT_ file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DT_ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
