Hi,

I'm not sure what error 1728 means, but you should try to repair permissions using the provided tool in Mac OSX.

Hi,

All I found while googling it, is:
"error -1728 errAENoSuchObject: e.g.: specifier asked for the 3rd but there are only 2. Basically this indicates a run-time resolution error."

Doen't say much. Can you try to CTRL click the file, and choose 'show in Explorer' (or is it Finder on the Mac?)

Can you access the file?

Regards,
Amaury

Yes, the files do exist! I can still load 'em onto channel wether it's an effect or instrument or an audio file and i can reveal them in finder after choosing "show in finder"

Hi,

Which exact version of OSX are you using? And what file type are giving that error? Are there several file types, or are they always the same? (Aiff, wav..)

regards,

Hello, Amaury
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.8.
this occurs to any of the file types. It can be an audio or a preset file (instrument/effect).
Moreover, even when i try to save changes to the tweaked preset and replace the existing one, i receive this message and then i have no choice but to save it under another name.
It's really annoying

Hi,

Okay, I have an element of answer: Do you use File Vault? It is found under the system Preferences, in the Security section.

It is a file encryption system, and it seems that the method used by Live to delete file does not allow to use it.

For now, if you use it and need it for sensible information, you could create a new user account with fileVault OFF, just for music.

Amaury,
i do appreciate your attention to my problem, but the File Vault is switched off and then it cannot be the reason i guess.

I find it a bit odd - cause no one else posted here with the same problem. really don't think that i am alone with it

Hi,

Don't you use any other file encryption system?
