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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to QTS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QTS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected QTS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the QTS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QTS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted QTS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move QTS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QTS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QTS to close. However, some background programs may block the QTS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
