How to open FTMX file?
The most common problem when using Finale Score Template is that a specific FTMX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FTMX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FTMX 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 Finale
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Finale is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Finale into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FTMX.
Programs to open FTMX file
Remember to download programs supporting FTMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Finale with FTMX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FTMX file still does not use the Finale 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FTMX file with the Finale application.
Step 3. Update Finale to the latest version
If, however, after binding Finale with Finale Score Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MakeMusic, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTMX 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. Usually this applies to FTMX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 FTMX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FTMX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FTMX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FTMX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting MakeMusic, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FTMX 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 FTMX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FTMX 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 FTMX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FTMX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
