The TU file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TU files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TU file on each system platform.
What is TU file?
The file in the TU format belongs to the Developer Files category. It was designed by Holt Software. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Turing Source Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open TU file?
The main problem with Turing Source Format is that the TU file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TU 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 Turing
In this case, you should first verify that the Turing application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Turing in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TU.
Programs to open TU file
Remember to download programs supporting TU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Turing with TU files
If, despite the installed application, the TU file does not start in the Turing application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Turing application as the default for handling the TU file.
Step 3. Update Turing to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Turing program with the Turing Source Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TU file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TU or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TU files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TU 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TU to close. However, some background programs may block the TU file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
