TUR File Extension

What is TUR file?

TUR is a file extension commonly associated with Turing Program Source Format files. Holt Software defined the Turing Program Source Format format standard. TUR file format is compatible with software that can be installed on Linux, Mac OS, Windows system platform. Files with TUR extension are categorized as Developer Files files. The Developer Files subset comprises 1205 various file formats. Users are advised to use Turing software for managing TUR files, although 6 other programs can also handle this type of file.

Programs which support TUR file extension

The list that follows enumerates programs compatible with TUR files, divided into 3 categories based on operating system on which they are available. Files with TUR extension, just like any other file formats, can be found on any operating system. The files in question may be transferred to other devices, be it mobile or stationary, yet not all systems may be capable of properly handling such files.

How to open file with TUR extension?

There can be multiple causes why you have problems with opening TUR files on given system. On the bright side, the most encountered issues pertaining to Turing Program Source Format files aren’t complex. In most cases they can be addressed swiftly and effectively without assistance from a specialist. The following is a list of guidelines that will help you identify and solve file-related problems.

Step 1. Download and install Turing

The main and most frequent cause precluding users form opening TUR files is that no program that can handle TUR files is installed on user’s system. The most obvious solution is to download and install Turing or one to the listed programs: Text editor, Windows Notepad, NotePad++ text editor. The full list of programs grouped by operating systems can be found above. The safest method of downloading Turing installed is by going to developer’s website () and downloading the software using provided links.

Step 2. Verify the you have the latest version of Turing

If you already have Turing installed on your systems and TUR files are still not opened properly, check if you have the latest version of the software. Sometimes software developers introduce new formats in place of that already supports along with newer versions of their applications. The reason that Turing cannot handle files with TUR may be that the software is outdated. All of the file formats that were handled just fine by the previous versions of given program should be also possible to open using Turing.

Step 3. Assign Turing to TUR files

If the issue has not been solved in the previous step, you should associate TUR files with latest version of Turing you have installed on your device. The process of associating file formats with default application may differ in details depending on platform, but the basic procedure is very similar.

The procedure to change the default program in Windows

• Clicking the TUR with right mouse button will bring a menu from which you should select the Open with option
• Click Choose another app and then select More apps option
• To finalize the process, select Look for another app on this PC entry and using the file explorer select the Turing installation folder. Confirm by checking Always use this app to open TUR files box and clicking OK button.

The procedure to change the default program in Mac OS

• By clicking right mouse button on the selected TUR file open the file menu and choose Information
• Find the Open with option – click the title if its hidden
• From the list choose the appropriate program and confirm by clicking Change for all....
• If you followed the previous steps a message should appear: This change will be applied to all files with TUR extension. Next, click the Continue button to finalize the process.

Step 4. Verify that the TUR is not faulty

You closely followed the steps listed in points 1-3, but the problem is still present? You should check whether the file is a proper TUR file. It is probable that the file is corrupted and thus cannot be accessed.

1. Check the TUR file for viruses or malware

If the file is infected, the malware that resides in the TUR file hinders attempts to open it. Immediately scan the file using an antivirus tool or scan the whole system to ensure the whole system is safe. TUR file is infected with malware? Follow the steps suggested by your antivirus software.

2. Ensure the file with TUR extension is complete and error-free

Did you receive the TUR file in question from a different person? Ask him/her to send it one more time. The file might have been copied erroneously and the data lost integrity, which precludes from accessing the file. When downloading the file with TUR extension from the internet an error may occurred resulting in incomplete file. Try downloading the file again.

3. Verify whether your account has administrative rights

Some files require elevated access rights to open them. Log in using an administrative account and see If this solves the problem.

4. Make sure that the system has sufficient resources to run Turing

If the system is under havy load, it may not be able to handle the program that you use to open files with TUR extension. In this case close the other applications.

5. Verify that your operating system and drivers are up to date

Up-to-date system and drivers not only makes your computer more secure, but also may solve problems with Turing Program Source Format file. It is possible that one of the available system or driver updates may solve the problems with TUR files affecting older versions of given software.
