Programs to open TMB file
Remember to download programs supporting TMB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Timbuktu Pro with TMB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TMB file still does not use the Timbuktu Pro program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TMB file with the Timbuktu Pro application.
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The fault may also lie with the Timbuktu Pro program, it is possible that Timbuktu Pro Connection Document requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Netopia, Inc., a Motorola Company website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TMB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TMB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TMB 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 TMB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TMB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Netopia
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TMB 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TMB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TMB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
