How to open TBT file?
The main problem with Timbuktu Pro Remote Control Software is that the TBT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TBT 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 TBT 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 Timbuktu Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Timbuktu Pro is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Timbuktu Pro in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TBT with Timbuktu Pro. Below you will find a list of applications that support TBT files.
Programs to open TBT file
Remember to download programs supporting TBT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Timbuktu Pro with TBT files
If, despite the installed application, the TBT file does not start in the Timbuktu Pro application, you must create a file association. 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. 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 Timbuktu Pro application as the default for handling the TBT file.
Step 3. Update Timbuktu Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding Timbuktu Pro with Timbuktu Pro Remote Control Software there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Netopia, Inc., a Motorola Company page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TBT 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:
The TBT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TBT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TBT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TBT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TBT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TBT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Netopia, Inc., a Motorola Company
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TBT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the TBT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TBT to close. However, some background programs may block the TBT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
