Troubleshooting Problems Opening 3GPP2 Files
Common 3GPP2 Opening Problems
Apple QuickTime Player Removed
When trying to open your 3GPP2 file, you get the error "Can't Open 3GPP2 File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Apple QuickTime Player for - installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your 3GPP2 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: Another 3GPP2-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Obsolete Version of Apple QuickTime Player
Your Multimedia Files For Wireless Networks file is incompatible with Apple QuickTime Player because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Apple QuickTime Player if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the 3GPP2 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening 3GPP2 files are due to having the wrong version of Apple QuickTime Player installed.
Other 3GPP2 File Opening Causes
Even with the correct version of Apple QuickTime Player installed, you can still experience difficulties opening 3GPP2s. If you're still experiencing problems opening 3GPP2 files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:
- 3GPP2 file type Registry entries are wrong
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry 3GPP2 description
- Invalid installation of a 3GPP2-associated program (eg. Apple QuickTime Player)
- Your 3GPP2 can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Your 3GPP2 has adversely impacted by malware
- Drivers associated with 3GPP2 software need to be updated
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Multimedia Files For Wireless Networks file
