Programs to open T$AB file
Remember to download programs supporting T$AB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Timbuktu Pro with T$AB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the T$AB file to open in the Timbuktu Pro application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Timbuktu Pro application as the default for handling the T$AB file.
Step 3. Update Timbuktu Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Timbuktu Pro program, it is possible that Timbuktu Pro Address Book requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Netopia, Inc., a Motorola Company website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the T$AB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to T$AB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file T$AB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected T$AB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the T$AB files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 option of recovering data from damaged T$AB files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Netopia, Inc., a Motorola Company
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted T$AB 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move T$AB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the T$AB 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 T$AB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
