How to open MAKO file?

The most common problem when using Mako Template is that a specific MAKO is not associated with the program. This causes the file MAKO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MAKO 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 Mako

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mako is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mako in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file MAKO.

Programs to open MAKO file

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

Step 2. Create association of Mako with MAKO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MAKO file still does not use the Mako 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mako application as the default for handling the MAKO file.

Step 3. Update Mako to the latest version

If, however, after binding Mako with Mako Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAKO 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 MAKO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MAKO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MAKO file. However, remember that not every infected MAKO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MAKO 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 option of recovering data from damaged MAKO files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MAKO 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 MAKO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MAKO file again. However, some background programs may block the MAKO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
