How to open SAVER file?
An often recurring problem with Mac OS X Screen Saver is that SAVER is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SAVER 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 SAVER 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 Mac OS X
The first step is to check if the computer has the Mac OS X program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mac OS X in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SAVER files.
Programs to open SAVER file
Remember to download programs supporting SAVER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with SAVER files
If, despite the installed application, the SAVER file does not start in the Mac OS X application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mac OS X application as the default for handling the SAVER file.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Mac OS X program, it is possible that Mac OS X Screen Saver requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAVER file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SAVER file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SAVER file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SAVER files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SAVER file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAVER file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SAVER 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SAVER file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
