Do I have the right program?
If you don’t have a program installed on your computer that’s compatible with IPSW files, you won’t be able to open one. See if you have one of the most common programs associated with IPSW files listed below.
- iPhone/iPod Firmware Update File
What type of file is it?
When you can’t open IPSW files, try to figure out the file type. This can help you find the right program to open it. Usually, IPSW files are considered Misc Files. However, you can look up the file type to be sure. Start by right-clicking the file icon and clicking “Properties” (“More Info” if you’re on a Mac). Then look for the file type under “Type of File” (“Kind” on a Mac).
Can a developer help?
When you can’t open IPSW files, a software developer might be able to help. The developers for the programs mentioned above are as follows:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| iPhone/iPod Firmware Update File | Apple Inc. |
Try contacting one of these developers to find out how you can open your IPSW file.
Can I use a universal file viewer?
A universal file viewer is the way to go when you have IPSW files that can’t be opened by any other program. Install a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download) and see if it will open your IPSW file. Remember that if your file is not compatible, the universal file viewer will only open it in binary format.
