What is ILOCK file?

The ILOCK file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Michal L. Wright. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. IData is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is iData. This was created by Michal L. Wright.

How to open ILOCK file?

An often recurring problem with IData is that ILOCK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ILOCK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ILOCK 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 iData

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that iData is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name iData into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ILOCK files.

Programs to open ILOCK file

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

Step 2. Create association of iData with ILOCK files

If, despite the installed application, the ILOCK file does not start in the iData 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 ILOCK file with the iData application.

Step 3. Update iData to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the iData program, it is possible that IData requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Michal L. Wright website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ILOCK 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:

The ILOCK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ILOCK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ILOCK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ILOCK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ILOCK 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ILOCK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Michal L. Wright
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ILOCK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ILOCK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ILOCK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ILOCK file again. 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.
