How to open GP5 file?
An often recurring problem with Guitar Pro 5 Tablature Format is that GP5 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file GP5 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 GP5 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 Guitar Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the Guitar Pro application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Guitar Pro 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 you will find a list of applications that support GP5 files.
Programs to open GP5 file
Remember to download programs supporting GP5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Guitar Pro with GP5 files
If, despite the installed application, the GP5 file does not start in the Guitar Pro application, you must create a file 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. 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 GP5 file with the Guitar Pro application.
Step 3. Update Guitar Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Guitar Pro program, it is possible that Guitar Pro 5 Tablature Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Arobas Music page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GP5 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GP5 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. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GP5 file. Sometimes virus-infected GP5 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GP5 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GP5 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Arobas Music, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GP5 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the GP5 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GP5 file again. However, some background programs may block the GP5 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
