Hello guys,
Im having a very weird problem with Live 4.1.1
For no specific reason, for some sets I open, Live lost all the samples refered to it! So...

On OS X.3.7
I open a Live set XYZ, Live cannot find any of the samples of the set, except those that have been recorded in that set (ie, those who are in the folder Live set XYZ sounds)
I try to open that set in previous versions of Live (4.1 and 4.04), but it's too late, Live cannot find the samples.

So I start up my system on Mac OS 9, where I also have Live installed.
I open the set... Ouf, everything is fine!!!!!!
So I save the set as self contained to make sure that all samples are there when I get back in OS X...
Anyone got the same problem? Most of all, anyone has an explanation?

Hello Ben,

You either have renamed the path of your samples or you have moved them to a different folder. Your sets should load if you give Live the path in the search dialogue. You could also check if you´re logged in as admin and use the repair permission tool from Apples disk utilities.

Hi Christian,
thanx for your reply. I didn't move or renamed my samples, but I ran a an application called Onyx to clean and optimize my system...
Could it be that I deleted some important "link" files? Otherwise, I don't understand...
Cheers

Ben
