The Mac OS X programs will also handle the file when the Apple ColorSync program does not fulfill its role.
How to open SYNC file?
The main problem with Apple ColorSync is that the SYNC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SYNC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SYNC 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 Apple ColorSync
In this case, you should first verify that the Apple ColorSync application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Apple ColorSync into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SYNC with Apple ColorSync. Below you will find a list of applications that support SYNC files.
Programs to open SYNC file
Remember to download programs supporting SYNC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple ColorSync with SYNC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SYNC file still does not use the Apple ColorSync program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 SYNC file with the Apple ColorSync program.
Step 3. Update Apple ColorSync to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple ColorSync program, it is possible that Apple ColorSync requires a newer version of the program.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 SYNC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SYNC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SYNC file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SYNC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SYNC 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 SYNC 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SYNC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SYNC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SYNC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SYNC 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 SYNC to close. 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.
