How to open IWDGT file?
The most common problem when using IWeb Widget Format is that a specific IWDGT is not associated with the program. This causes the file IWDGT 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 IWDGT 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 iWeb
In this case, you should first verify that the iWeb application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name iWeb in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IWDGT with iWeb. Below is a list of programs that support the file IWDGT.
Programs to open IWDGT file
Remember to download programs supporting IWDGT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iWeb with IWDGT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IWDGT file still does not use the iWeb program, it means no 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iWeb application as the default for handling the IWDGT file.
Step 3. Update iWeb to the latest version
If, however, after binding iWeb with IWeb Widget Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 IWDGT 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 IWDGT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IWDGT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IWDGT file. Sometimes virus-infected IWDGT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IWDGT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IWDGT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IWDGT 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the IWDGT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IWDGT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the IWDGT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
