How to open UPF file?
An often recurring problem with Nokia Phone Digital Photo Format is that UPF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that UPF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UPF 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 Nokia Suite
In this case, you should first verify that the Nokia Suite application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Nokia Suite 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 UPF files.
Programs to open UPF file
Remember to download programs supporting UPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nokia Suite with UPF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UPF file to open in the Nokia Suite application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the UPF file with the Nokia Suite application.
Step 3. Update Nokia Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Nokia Suite program with the Nokia Phone Digital Photo Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nokia Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UPF 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. Usually this applies to UPF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UPF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected UPF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UPF 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UPF files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nokia, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UPF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move UPF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the UPF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UPF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UPF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
