How to open SPARSIMAGE file?

The most common problem when using Mac OS X Image is that a specific SPARSIMAGE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SPARSIMAGE 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 SPARSIMAGE 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

Programs to open SPARSIMAGE file

Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with SPARSIMAGE files

If, despite the installed application, the SPARSIMAGE 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. 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 SPARSIMAGE file.

Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version

If, however, after binding Mac OS X with Mac OS X Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPARSIMAGE 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. Usually this applies to SPARSIMAGE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SPARSIMAGE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SPARSIMAGE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPARSIMAGE 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPARSIMAGE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SPARSIMAGE 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. 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 SPARSIMAGE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SPARSIMAGE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPARSIMAGE to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
