How to open ITLP file?
The most common problem when using ITunes LP Album Format is that a specific ITLP is not associated with the program. This causes the file ITLP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ITLP 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 iTunes
The first step is to check if the computer has the iTunes program installed. This can be achieved by typing iTunes 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 ITLP.
Programs to open ITLP file
Remember to download programs supporting ITLP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iTunes with ITLP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ITLP file still does not use the iTunes program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 iTunes application as the default for handling the ITLP file.
Step 3. Update iTunes to the latest version
If, despite the association of the iTunes program with the ITunes LP Album Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ITLP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ITLP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ITLP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ITLP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ITLP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ITLP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ITLP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ITLP 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 ITLP file again. However, some background programs may block the ITLP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
