How to open ITMS file?
The main problem with ITunes Music Store Link Format is that the ITMS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ITMS 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 ITMS 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
In this case, you should first verify that the iTunes application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing iTunes into the operating system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of iTunes with ITMS files
If, despite the installed application, the ITMS file does not start in the iTunes application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iTunes application as the default for handling the ITMS file.
Step 3. Update iTunes to the latest version
If, despite the association of the iTunes program with the ITunes Music Store Link Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ITMS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ITMS file contents when downloading or copying. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ITMS file. However, remember that not every infected ITMS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ITMS 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ITMS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ITMS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 ITMS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ITMS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ITMS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
