The main program that supports this format is MacFamilyTree. This was created by Synium Software.
How to open MFTPKG file?
The main problem with MacFamilyTree Project Format is that the MFTPKG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MFTPKG 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 MFTPKG 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 MacFamilyTree
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MacFamilyTree is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MacFamilyTree into the operating 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 MFTPKG files.
Programs to open MFTPKG file
Remember to download programs supporting MFTPKG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MacFamilyTree with MFTPKG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MFTPKG file still does not use the MacFamilyTree 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MFTPKG file with the MacFamilyTree program.
Step 3. Update MacFamilyTree to the latest version
If, however, after binding MacFamilyTree with MacFamilyTree Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Synium Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MFTPKG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The MFTPKG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MFTPKG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 MFTPKG file. Sometimes virus-infected MFTPKG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MFTPKG 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 MFTPKG 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MFTPKG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 MFTPKG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MFTPKG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
