What is Mac OS X?

Mac OS X is an operating system developed by Apple. It is praised for its stability, security, and ease of use, an important quality for novice users. The 10th installment of Mac OS offers many advanced capabilities, including pre-emptive multitasking and memory protection. It can run multiple applications simultaneously without interferences and is very CPU-efficient.

Associations of Mac OS X with the file extensions

Mac OS X opens the files:

The primary purpose of our website is to provide the user with a list of software programs that support a particular file extension, as well as that help to convert them to another format. Mac OS X supports 211 different file extensions, that's why it was found in our database. The following tables provide information about the association of Mac OS X with file extensions. If the Mac OS X program can be used to convert the file format to another one, such information will also be provided.

What can I use this information for?

This information is especially useful when looking for a way to open a specific file. If you already have Mac OS X installed on your computer, you can check which file extensions it supports and look for the data you need in this specific format (or to what format you should convert the data so that you can open them in the Mac OS X).

I do not have a Mac OS X yet. Where should I get it?

By far the most safe way is to download Mac OS X directly from the developers's website. If you are going to download the Mac OS X from a website that offers a database of downloadable software, you have to reckon with the fact that when you install it on your computer, you will also install the unwanted extras. Please, pay special attention to this.

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?

File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.

Select the first letter of the file extension you are looking for
