Remember to download programs supporting QD9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Omnis Studio with QD9 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QD9 file still does not use the Omnis Studio program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Omnis Studio application as the default for handling the QD9 file.

Step 3. Update Omnis Studio to the latest version

This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the TigerLogic Corp. (Omnis Technology Corporation) website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QD9 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 QD9 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our QD9 file. Sometimes virus-infected QD9 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of QD9 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QD9 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QD9 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move QD9 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QD9 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
