The TMM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TMM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TMM file on each system platform.
What is TMM file?
The file with the extension TMM is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is LexisNexis. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. TimeMap Metadata is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is TimeMap. This was created by LexisNexis.
How to open TMM file?
The most common problem when using TimeMap Metadata is that a specific TMM is not associated with the program. This causes the file TMM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TMM 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 TimeMap
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TimeMap is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TimeMap into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support TMM files.
Programs to open TMM file
Remember to download programs supporting TMM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TimeMap with TMM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TMM file still does not use the TimeMap program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TMM file with the TimeMap program.
Step 3. Update TimeMap to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TimeMap program, it is possible that TimeMap Metadata 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 LexisNexis page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 TMM 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TMM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TMM 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 TMM 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 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 TMM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use LexisNexis help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TMM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TMM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TMM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TMM file again. However, some background programs may block the TMM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
