How to open TIG file?
An often recurring problem with TI Connect Backup Format is that TIG is not associated with the correct program file.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TIG 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 TI Connect
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TI Connect is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TI Connect into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TIG files.
Programs to open TIG file
Remember to download programs supporting TIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TI Connect with TIG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TIG file to open in the TI Connect application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 TI Connect application as the default for handling the TIG file.
Step 3. Update TI Connect to the latest version
If, however, after binding TI Connect with TI Connect Backup Format 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 Texas Instruments Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TIG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The TIG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TIG file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TIG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TIG file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TIG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Texas Instruments help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TIG 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. If possible, you can try to move the TIG 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
