How to open FEXT file?
An often recurring problem with Extensions Manager Preferences is that FEXT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FEXT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FEXT 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mac OS X in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FEXT.
Programs to open FEXT file
Remember to download programs supporting FEXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with FEXT files
If, despite the installed application, the FEXT file does not start in the Mac OS X application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FEXT file with the Mac OS X application.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mac OS X program with the Extensions Manager Preferences 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 FEXT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FEXT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FEXT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FEXT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FEXT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FEXT files. 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 FEXT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FEXT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FEXT 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 FEXT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FEXT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
