How to open SITD file?
An often recurring problem with StuffIt Archive is that SITD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SITD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SITD 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 StuffIt Expander

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SITD.
Programs to open SITD file
Remember to download programs supporting SITD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StuffIt Expander with SITD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SITD file still does not use the StuffIt Expander program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 StuffIt Expander application as the default for handling the SITD file.
Step 3. Update StuffIt Expander to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the StuffIt Expander program, it is possible that StuffIt Archive requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SITD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The SITD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SITD file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SITD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SITD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SITD files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SITD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SITD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SITD file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SITD file again. 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.
