How to open TKS file?
An often recurring problem with Traktor Pro MIDI Map is that TKS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TKS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TKS 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 TRAKTOR
In this case, you should first verify that the TRAKTOR application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TRAKTOR 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 TKS files.
Programs to open TKS file
Remember to download programs supporting TKS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TRAKTOR with TKS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TKS file to open in the TRAKTOR application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TKS file with the TRAKTOR program.
Step 3. Update TRAKTOR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TRAKTOR program, it is possible that Traktor Pro MIDI Map requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Native Instruments, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TKS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TKS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TKS file. Sometimes virus-infected TKS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TKS file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TKS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Native Instruments, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TKS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TKS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TKS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TKS 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.
