How to open AIFR file?
The main problem with Audio Interchange Format is that the AIFR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AIFR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AIFR 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 Windows Media Player
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Media Player is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Windows Media Player in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file AIFR.
Programs to open AIFR file
Remember to download programs supporting AIFR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Media Player with AIFR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AIFR file still does not use the Windows Media Player program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 AIFR file with the Windows Media Player application.
Step 3. Update Windows Media Player to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Media Player program with the Audio Interchange Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AIFR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AIFR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AIFR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AIFR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AIFR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AIFR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AIFR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AIFR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AIFR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AIFR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AIFR file again. However, some background programs may block the AIFR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
