How to open JIA file?

The main problem with Digital Photo Navigator Album is that the JIA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that JIA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JIA 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 Digital Photo Navigator

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Digital Photo Navigator is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Digital Photo Navigator into the 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 JIA.

Programs to open JIA file

Remember to download programs supporting JIA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Digital Photo Navigator with JIA files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JIA file still does not use the Digital Photo Navigator program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JIA file with the Digital Photo Navigator program.

Step 3. Update Digital Photo Navigator to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Digital Photo Navigator program, it is possible that Digital Photo Navigator Album requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Victor Company of Japan, Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JIA 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:

The JIA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JIA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JIA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JIA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of JIA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JIA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact JVC
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JIA 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 JIA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the JIA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the JIA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
