How to open QTC file?
The most common problem when using Apple QuickTime Support is that a specific QTC is not associated with the program. This causes the file QTC 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 QTC 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 QuickTime Player
In this case, you should first verify that the QuickTime Player application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing QuickTime Player into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open QTC file
Remember to download programs supporting QTC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickTime Player with QTC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QTC file still does not use the QuickTime Player 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the QTC file with the QuickTime Player application.
Step 3. Update QuickTime Player to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuickTime Player with Apple QuickTime Support there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 QTC 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 QTC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 QTC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QTC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QTC 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QTC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QTC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 QTC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QTC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QTC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QTC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
