How to open PNA file?
The main problem with PhatNoise Audio Format is that the PNA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PNA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PNA 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 PhatMac
In this case, you should first verify that the PhatMac application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PhatMac into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PNA with PhatMac. Below you will find a list of applications that support PNA files.
Programs to open PNA file
Remember to download programs supporting PNA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PhatMac with PNA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PNA file to open in the PhatMac application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PNA file with the PhatMac program.
Step 3. Update PhatMac to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PhatMac program with the PhatNoise Audio Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PNA 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PNA 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PNA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PNA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PNA file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PNA file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PNA 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. Copying the PNA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PNA file again. However, some background programs may block the PNA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
