How to open LIJ file?
An often recurring problem with Apple Photos Data Format is that LIJ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LIJ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LIJ 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 Apple Photos
In this case, you should first verify that the Apple Photos application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Apple Photos into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LIJ files.
Programs to open LIJ file
Remember to download programs supporting LIJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Photos with LIJ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LIJ file still does not use the Apple Photos program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LIJ file with the Apple Photos application.
Step 3. Update Apple Photos to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apple Photos program with the Apple Photos Data Format 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 LIJ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LIJ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 LIJ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LIJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LIJ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LIJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LIJ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the LIJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LIJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LIJ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
