Step 2. Create association of Google Picasa with YTF files
If, despite the installed application, the YTF file does not start in the Google Picasa 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the YTF file with the Google Picasa application.
Step 3. Update Google Picasa to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Google Picasa program with the Google Picasa Font Cache file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Google Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YTF 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 suggests truncating the YTF file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YTF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected YTF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the YTF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular YTF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Google, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file YTF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the YTF file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the YTF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
