Ableton Forum

I did the upgrade to 7.0.1, and was tired of having three different versions of live in my program list.

I removed/deleted live 6.0.7 and live 6.10, and things are working fine.
the only issue seems to be that live thinks samples are missing, but when i click to find out more they can't seem to track down what is missing.

How do i make live stop pestering me with that bold red bar?

yep, still there.

I had the same problem, and it seemed to be caused by uninstalling Live 6 after installing 7. However, now other people have had different install/uninstall combinations (or haven't had Live 6 on the machine in the first place, before installing Live 7), and are experiencing the issue as well.

I'm guessing it's a pretty rare bug, as there aren't more posts about the annoying bright red notification of "missing samples" ...

See here: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79235

I got rid of the message by ghosting back to the Live 6 setup I had. Then I installed Live 7 again, and just let version 6 be as it was. No more red note.

I have also had this problem, but never resolved it

So you decided to sit it out?

I mean, after a while, did it go away on its own or did you have to wait until the next update to have it disappear? Or are you currently seeing the red bar, but let it be?

Well it was with one particular set, I reported it in the beta forum, nothing ever came of it...

Gotta pick your battles

This is happening to me

How can i fix it???

I´m having a problem in Live 7 where if I open a new live set and record something before I have named and saved the set - when I save the samples go offline. I seems there is something fishy with Project Temp i.e. the project Live is supposed to use before you actually save.

I know, I can just save before I do anything, but it´s a bug and it is annoying...

At the moment, it seems that reinstalling Live 7 might be the best idea. That is, before Abes comment on this and give some advice for a specific cure.

+1 for missing samples that aren't missing. After installing 7.0.1, I uninstalled 5, and 6.0.1. I left 6.0.10 on it though.

Reinstalled 7.0.1 and now it's fine.

I had the same error message "Samples are missing" in the status bar below, but no samples were found to be missing in the File Management.

This error occurred when I installed Live7.0.1 Update and deleted Live7 which according to the Add/Remove Programs on WinXP listed two files (Live7 occupying 212.00MB and Live7.0.1 occupying 121.00MB), so I deleted Live7 to free up system resources, BAD DECISION !

At Restart, that error showed up and my USB/MIDI Keyboard (Akai MPK49) no longer was communicating with Ableton. The solution was simple..........I reinstalled Live7 and also re-installed (setup.exe Live7.0.1), now MIDI is sending messages and no Errors in that bright red bar about missing samples anymore. I hope this solves your problem.

I had the same problem after installing 7.01 after I had 6.10 and 7.0. I had something like 20,000 samples missing!
I reinstalled my computer from scratch. Now it's fine. I sure hope not everyone has to take this drastic step.

Have it as well. Red bar saying "missing samples", but when I click it, I get an empty "missing samples"-list. Also, if I go to manage files for my library (or empty project) it says that no samples are missing...

Really annoying, I'll try to reinstall...

reinstalling worked for me.
