What is BBFW file?
The file with the extension BBFW is the System Files file type. It was designed by Apple, Inc.. Additionally, the System Files category contains 323 of other files.

How to open BBFW file?
The main problem with ITunes Firmware is that the BBFW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that BBFW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BBFW 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 Apple iTunes
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apple iTunes program installed. This can be achieved by typing Apple iTunes into the operating system search engine. 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 BBFW files.
Programs to open BBFW file
Remember to download programs supporting BBFW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple iTunes with BBFW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BBFW file still does not use the Apple iTunes program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple iTunes application as the default for handling the BBFW file.
Step 3. Update Apple iTunes to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple iTunes program, it is possible that ITunes Firmware requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BBFW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The BBFW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BBFW file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BBFW or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BBFW 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 BBFW files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BBFW file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BBFW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the BBFW file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BBFW 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 BBFW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BBFW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
