How to open LOCK_SYNC file?
An often recurring problem with Synchronization Lock is that LOCK_SYNC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LOCK_SYNC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LOCK_SYNC 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Mac OS X application is installed on the computer. 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LOCK_SYNC files.
Programs to open LOCK_SYNC file
Remember to download programs supporting LOCK_SYNC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with LOCK_SYNC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LOCK_SYNC file to open in the Mac OS X application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 Mac OS X application as the default for handling the LOCK_SYNC file.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mac OS X with Synchronization Lock there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LOCK_SYNC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The LOCK_SYNC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LOCK_SYNC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LOCK_SYNC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LOCK_SYNC 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 LOCK_SYNC file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LOCK_SYNC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LOCK_SYNC 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 LOCK_SYNC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LOCK_SYNC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LOCK_SYNC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
