The main program that supports this format is Mac OS X. This was created by Apple, Inc..
How to open TERM file?
The most common problem when using Apple Mac OS X Terminal is that a specific TERM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TERM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TERM 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. This can be achieved by typing Mac OS X into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TERM with Mac OS X. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TERM files.
Programs to open TERM file
Remember to download programs supporting TERM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with TERM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TERM file still does not use the Mac OS X program, it means no 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TERM file with the Mac OS X application.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mac OS X with Apple Mac OS X Terminal 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 TERM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TERM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TERM file. However, remember that not every infected TERM 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 TERM file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TERM 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 TERM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TERM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TERM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TERM file again. However, some background programs may block the TERM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
