What is FDRP file?

The file with the extension FDRP is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by Apple, Inc.. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. Apple Mac OS Folder Alias is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS. The main program that supports this format is Mac OS X. This was created by Apple, Inc..

How to open FDRP file?

The most common problem when using Apple Mac OS Folder Alias is that a specific FDRP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FDRP, 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 FDRP 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Mac OS X application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Mac OS X into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FDRP files.

Programs to open FDRP file

Remember to download programs supporting FDRP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with FDRP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FDRP file to open in the Mac OS X 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. 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. 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 FDRP file with the Mac OS X program.

Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Mac OS X program with the Apple Mac OS Folder Alias file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FDRP 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 suggests truncating the FDRP 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FDRP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FDRP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FDRP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FDRP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FDRP 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 FDRP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FDRP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FDRP to close. However, some background programs may block the FDRP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
