How to open TEF file?
The most common problem when using TablEdit Tablature is that a specific TEF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TEF 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 TEF 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 TEFview
The first step is to check if the computer has the TEFview program installed. To do this, enter the name TEFview into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TEF files.
Programs to open TEF file
Remember to download programs supporting TEF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TEFview with TEF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TEF file still does not use the TEFview program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 TEF file with the TEFview application.
Step 3. Update TEFview to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TEFview program, it is possible that TablEdit Tablature requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TEF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TEF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TEF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TEF 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 TEF 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TEF file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TEF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move TEF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TEF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TEF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TEF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
