Step 2. Create association of Apple Finder with INETLOC files
If, despite the installed application, the INETLOC file does not start in the Apple Finder application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 INETLOC file with the Apple Finder application.
Step 3. Update Apple Finder to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple Finder program, it is possible that Internet Location requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INETLOC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INETLOC file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INETLOC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INETLOC 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 INETLOC file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular INETLOC file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file INETLOC 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move INETLOC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the INETLOC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INETLOC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
