How to open POZ file?
The most common problem when using Poser For Mac is that a specific POZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that POZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the POZ 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 Micro Poser
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Micro Poser is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Micro Poser into the 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 POZ files.
Programs to open POZ file
Remember to download programs supporting POZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with POZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the POZ file to open in the Micro Poser application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the POZ file with the Micro Poser application.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Micro Poser program with the Poser For Mac file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the POZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the POZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 POZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover POZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the POZ files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair POZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Smith Micro Software, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted POZ 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 POZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the POZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the POZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
