The main program that supports this format is Mac OS X. This was created by Apple, Inc..

How to open HANG file?

The most common problem when using Apple Mac OS X Terminal is that a specific HANG is not associated with the program. This causes the file HANG 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 HANG 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the Mac OS X program installed. This can be achieved by typing Mac OS X into the operating system search engine. 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 HANG.

Programs to open HANG file

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

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

If, despite the installed application, the HANG file does not start in the Mac OS X 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mac OS X application as the default for handling the HANG file.

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 X Terminal 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 HANG 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HANG 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HANG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HANG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HANG files changes over time. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HANG 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 file HANG except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HANG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HANG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HANG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
