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.

Programs to open SHUTDOWNSTALL file
Remember to download programs supporting SHUTDOWNSTALL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with SHUTDOWNSTALL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SHUTDOWNSTALL file to open in the Mac OS X 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mac OS X application as the default for handling the SHUTDOWNSTALL 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The fault may also lie with the Mac OS X program, it is possible that Mac OS X Log requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SHUTDOWNSTALL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SHUTDOWNSTALL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SHUTDOWNSTALL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SHUTDOWNSTALL file. However, remember that not every infected SHUTDOWNSTALL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SHUTDOWNSTALL file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SHUTDOWNSTALL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SHUTDOWNSTALL 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SHUTDOWNSTALL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SHUTDOWNSTALL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
