The NDIF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NDIF 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NDIF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NDIF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NDIF file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 NDIF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NDIF 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. 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 NDIF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NDIF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NDIF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
