Programs to open IMY file
Remember to download programs supporting IMY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Coding Workshop Ringtone Converter with IMY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IMY file to open in the Coding Workshop Ringtone Converter application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 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 IMY file with the Coding Workshop Ringtone Converter application.

The fault may also lie with the Coding Workshop Ringtone Converter program, it is possible that IMelody Ringtone Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMY 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 IMY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IMY file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IMY file. However, remember that not every infected IMY 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 IMY 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IMY file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IMY 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IMY file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 IMY file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
