How to open STUB file?
The main problem with Mac OS X Stub Library is that the STUB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that STUB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STUB 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mac OS X is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Mac OS X into the system search engine. 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 STUB files.
Programs to open STUB file
Remember to download programs supporting STUB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with STUB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STUB file to open in the Mac OS X application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the STUB file with the Mac OS X program.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mac OS X with Mac OS X Stub Library there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 STUB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 STUB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 STUB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected STUB 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 STUB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STUB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STUB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the STUB file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the STUB file again. However, some background programs may block the STUB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
