1st Method: Open it in another program.

When you double-click APF files, your computer attempts to open it in a program associated with APF files. If there’s no program associated with APF files on your computer, the file won’t open. To open the file, download one of the most popular programs associated with APF files such as Unknown Apple II File, Fax2000 File, or ATO Profile Editor File.

2nd Method: Take a hint from the file type.

The APF file extension usually indicates it's under the umbrella of Audio Files. However, if it’s another file type, it might not open with one of the programs listed above. Take the following steps to find the file type:

  1. Right-click the file.
  2. Click “Properties” (Windows) or “More Info” (Mac).
  3. Locate the file type under either “Type of File” (Windows) or “Kind” (Mac).

3rd Method: Check with the developer.

So you’ve tried using a different program, you’ve confirmed the file type, and your APF file still won’t open. Even if these methods were unsuccessful, you might still be able to reach out to a software developer for help. Use the chart below to find the developer for each of the programs mentioned above and contact them directly for assistance.
