How to open $ID file?
The most common problem when using Steinberg Cubase Compressed is that a specific $ID is not associated with the program. This causes the file $ID to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the $ID 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 Cubase
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Cubase is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cubase in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support $ID files.
Programs to open $ID file
Remember to download programs supporting $ID files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cubase with $ID files
If, despite the installed application, the $ID file does not start in the Cubase application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the $ID file with the Cubase program.
Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cubase with Steinberg Cubase Compressed there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the $ID file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the $ID file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file $ID or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected $ID file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of $ID file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged $ID files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted $ID 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the $ID file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the $ID file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the $ID file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
