How to open TOOL file?
The main problem with Apple Mac OS X Terminal is that the TOOL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TOOL 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 TOOL 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Mac OS X program installed. 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TOOL files.
Programs to open TOOL file
Remember to download programs supporting TOOL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with TOOL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TOOL file to open in the Mac OS X application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TOOL 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. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The TOOL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TOOL file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TOOL file. Sometimes virus-infected TOOL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TOOL file. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TOOL 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 TOOL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the TOOL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TOOL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
