Audio File Not Found Dialogue Box - How To Stop From Popping Up

Hello:
I had to delete useless audio tracks from Logic Pro 9. Naturally I get the pop up box that says certain track not found in it's location. Then the instruction as to how to locate it. then the the buttons: skip all skip search locate. Well as the tracks have been completely deleted, and the bin has all ! next to the tracks, is there any way to stop this dialogue box appearing, as in "do not show again," or am I a slave to clicking on skip all to get to the recording tracks? Thanks for any advice

Hey Thanks, Seeren....nothing more than one big duh....but I didn't know....and clearing out the tracks still hasn't made my macbook pro run faster!
Thanks, again

Logic X EXS24 - audio file not found

I know this question crops up often and is usually a Garageband/missing downloadable contents issue but that's not the case here.
I'm a long time Logic user (pre Apple) and can usually work my way around issue or find answers online, but I'm completely stuck with this one.
I've been running my current setup for about eight months now (new Mac Pro, latest versions of Logic Pro and OS) with no problem at all.
I have an extensive sound library stored on external drives (Pegasus2) via Firewire and everything has been zipping along, then yesterday for no know reason EXS24 suddenly gives me the "audio file not found" message when trying to create a new instrument.
All previously created EXS24 instruments load just fine as the audio files were copied onto the project drive, but Logic no longer sees the library on my external drive.
The external drive is working just fine (troubleshooting shows no errors or issues) and I can access it just fine, load sounds into other applications etc), I can also manually drag individual samples into my EXS24 instrument so that it "sees" them, but very impractical to do this with so many audio files, and obviously that's not how it's supposed to work.
I thought I had found a workaround yesterday by making an alias of the folder containing the sound library and copying the alias to User/Music/Audio Music Apps and that worked while I was working yesterday, but on loading Logic today the problem is back.
I've reindexed the drive in question with Spotlight..
As mentioned, this setup has worked for months (and for years on my previous hardware) but suddenly Logic can no longer see those files via EXS24.
Any suggestions as to why this suddenly happened, and more importantly, on a permanent fix?
B.

It doesn't really matter where you put the samples, as the EXS will search for them when you try to load an instrument that references them.
The reason why the "davidfelton" bit is in there, is that the location of the samples is stored inside EXS files. At load time, if the samples are not at that location, the EXS will search for them, and once found, will write the new location back to the EXS file so it doesn't have to search next time.
If the EXS cannot find your samples, then open the EXS preferences and make sure your default search locations will find the files (ie you don't have it set to look on one drive, when the samples are on a different one).
Or you can use the project managers "resolve" function to update the sample locations to all the EXS files in one go.
Any probs, post back...

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

Logic Pro X: Audio file not found?

I have Logic Pro X, and this problem has never occurred before but...
I was mixing one of my songs and everything was perfect, then I made sure to save it.
As I reopened literally 10 seconds later (not sure why I even closed it) it was showing me a message that said "Audio file not found"
At least 12 audio files went missing out of nowhere. It's only the files recorded from Logic that are not found.
I tried to locate them through my Finder but I don't know where my audio files are stored onto my macbook, and it doesn't seem to be in an easily accessible place.
It's just weird because they were all fine just before I closed Logic, then they disappeared.
I checked the audio bin in Logic and they seem to be there but they seem corrupted.
If anyone can help, or at least show me where audio files are stored on your mac from recording through Logic, that may help.
Thank you.

To clarify:
Logic Pro X
I have also experienced this issue as a result of having recording delay set other than zero, and rectified it by returning to 0.
Otherwise,
[Command 8] or
Window > Open Project Audio, select audio files that appear flatline, click 'Audio File' menu at top left, click 'Refresh Overview(s)'.
No way I know of to auto-enable this.

When i try to open my projekt in logic pro x it say audio files not found?

when i try to open up a projekt in logic pro x it say audio files not found why is this heppends?

This error typically means the audio files you used in this project are no longer found in their original location.. (did you move or delete them?) or you have renamed the audio files..... or they were located on an external HD etcand that drive or disk is no longer available.... because its not plugged in.

I have been sampling new imported drum loops. And if I adjust region to song or time strecth it updates the audio file in the library. How to stop this? I lost the original setting to one loop. automatically doing it ??

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Audio file not found. Please help restore??

Arrgh! Hopefully someone can help me! A section of recording has gone missing from my podcast made in Garageband 3 and I have no idea how to get it back!
The podcast was intact when I saved and closed down for the night, then in the morning when I opened the file, a message box popped up saying 'Audio file "Recording#586.aif" not found! It gave me the option to search for it, which I did, but nothing came up.
I've tried searching my computer and servers, but nothing again.
I have no idea how this could have happened! The strand of lost recording is in the middle of the podcast and the rest of the file is unaffected. Unfortunately, the strand was recorded separate to the preceding and following strands, so I can't recover the missing file by extending out the other strands. ****.
If anyone has any suggestions or can offer any help, I'd be super grateful!
Thanks

Ah okay, that's handy to know, thanks. But that shouldn't affect the original files that I'm salvaging, right?
I'm able to retrieve the unedited GB project files using FileSalvage, but that end bit of the recording is always missing. Even though these are the original files and nothing's been edited or chopped away.
The only thing that I can think might have caused this mysterious disappearance is that the segment that's gone missing is the very end bit of the project, and the recording only stopped because GB automatically stopped it. Due to lack of space or recording capacity or something. Maybe there wasn't enough memory or something to conserve that final segment. I don't really know...

"Error Result code = -43" AND "Audio file not found"

In Garageband I was trying to click Join, but kept getting "Error Result code = -43"
What does this mean?
Also, I thought saving the file and restarting Garageband would help, but upon re-opening the program BIG problem: the file (just this one, others are opening fine) has this error message upon opening "Audio file “07 I See the Light.aif” not found!"

mcgregorsgal wrote:
so do I have to basically start over?
for that one recording, it looks like it.
the error -43 is a system level error, so i HIGHLY doubt this will help, however you can ctrl-click the project file, choose Show Package Contents, open the media folder and preview any audio files in there to see if the missing file is there, but in all likelihood, you will need to re-record it

Guitar Lesson 2 - Audio file not found

This is the error I receive when I try to load "Guitar Lesson 2" of the "Learn to Play" lessons. (Audio file "Guitar2GTRs2MiXv3.caf" not found.) I've tried deleting and re-downloading the lesson several times. I found the missing file but only when I browse to it myself, nothing appears in Spotlight. This is the only lesson I'm having this problem with. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for referring me to the proper thread. It works fine now. I was deleting only the downloaded lesson not the cached lesson file. Hopefully Apple will check into this.
~
1. Quit GarageBand.
2. Goto /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Working Copies
3. Delete the Guitar Lesson 2_Chords - G, C
4. Start GarageBand up and enjoy Lesson 2.

Audio file not found - deleted

(I've read some of the old threads about this, however none of them seem to have a solution as far as I can see.)
So the problem is that I'm regularly receiving error messages when I open a project, which say "Audio file x not found", and this repeats for all the audio clips previously recorded. The "search" function is pointless because the lost audio clips are nowhere to be found, not even in the recycle bin.
To say that this is annoying is an understatement - when you've spent a day working on a song only to find that everything has been deleted it is very very annoying. And this is simply NOT acceptable behaviour for a program - I mean, it's not a bug ... a bug would be that it changes an audio effect every now and again, or changes the timing ... deleting all the audio tracks recorded is a SERIOUS problem, and I don't want to use Garageband again until I feel safe that it's fixed.
I should add that I recently did a clean install of OS X and that didn't seem to help. Yes, I've repaired disk permissions, that didn't help either. Interestingly I hadn't experienced this problem while I was using M-Audio's fast-track for the mic. It's hard to say that it's connected but I've been using a Samson USB mic for the past 9 months, however the problem only really started in January/February. I'm using GB 09 (v5.1, 398), on a mid-2009 Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6.7.
If you have a solution, I promise I'll give you a credit in the album notes of my next EP. Thanks!

The same thing just happened to me. I spent a whole day working on a song rough draft and opened it up to work on it again and it had resorted back to a saved file from days before. I know I had saved it because I had opened it up this morning and it was fine. I restarted my macbook pro and it was all gone. Now I have to rearrange the drums and record guitar and vocals again. Big problem apple....not cool.

Old problem new angle:EXS24 instrument audio file not found -but its THERE!

So I know this has been posted on before, but I've read the forums and my problem seems slightly different.
Was trying to open tenor sax, or alto sax.
Created a new EXS24 track. In the Logic Studio Library it comes up with a long list of folders, bottom is '12 Legacy Instruments', inside that all there is is '05 Horns and Woodwinds' and '08 Drum Kits'. I go into Horns and Woodwinds, there are my instruments. When I click them it says not found.
I checked in my finder window, (application support/Logic/Sampler Instruments/ 12 Legacy Instruments/05 Horns and Woodwinds). They ARE there. So that baffles me.
Now, someone said on another forum its because they arent in the right place and SHOULD be in garage band (application support/garage band/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/12 Legacy Instruments/05 Horns and Woodwinds), so I copied them from the previously described Logic destination to there.
They STILL aren't working. It seems like Logic is looking in the right place but it says it cant find them?!
Please help!
(P.S - Annoyingly if it comes to reinstalling Logic Studio, I don't think I can do that. I bought my Mac Mini off ebay, and have forgotten the admin password, and have no OS discs to reset it. So until I can do that, I can't install anything (as you need the admin password. Any solutions that don't involve reinstalling Logic gratefully welcomed!)

What I think you have to do is refresh the Spotlight index. Open the prefpanel Spotlight, go to the Privacy Tab, put all your disks on it (just drag 'm), close the panel, reopen it, remove the disks, close the panel, let your Mac sit for an hour or so while it is creating Spotlight indeces from scratch. Use *Activity Monitor* to check if Spotlight is done indexing. If you see MDS or MDWorker still active (=using CPU), it is not done.
O and BTW, you should create an account for yourself of which you do have the admin password, or you will not be able to solve many possible problems.

GB 5.1 on MB Pro 2.5Ghz Intel DC - Audio files not found!

Please can somebody help!!
I have recently lost all my recorded parts; the loops and software instrument parts are still present.
The songs still shows where the parts were recorded, but there is no waveform.
When I start up GB, it says that certain files were not found and gives the option to search or skip. It never finds the file.

You have to install the MUI files as well... for English:
dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\en-US\WinPE-SecureStartup_en-us.cab"
This applies to any package that installs executables, it'll have a seperate MUI package that has to be installed or you get a non-sense error about memory that can't be read. Also, MS thanks for the wonderful error message, really went the extra mile to
throw everyone under the bus.

"Audio File Not Found"

What do I do to stop this message from popping up every time I open my Logic project?
I've deleted all my tracks in the project and started fresh so there's no recorded files in the project and there's only one track and this still comes up. If I click skip, it comes up about 10 times (I know skip all would only require once but I just want it to stop).
I'm recording with 5 mice at one time and if we get off time I just hit the delete key on the file like in this image.
Am I deleting these files incorrectly or something?
EDIT: I tried find this question in the forums already just to make sure I wasn't asking something that had been answered already.

Hi
Open the Project Audio Browser, select all the files and regions that you don't need ( use Edit:Select Un-used) and delete.

VIDEO: Weird blinking on "Save As..." dialogue box - how to stop?

I captured a video of my issue; please view it at http://youtu.be/WcCzcvNs0NY to really understand what is happening
Whenever I attempt to save a Word or Excel file (the 2 apps I've noticed the issue with the most), I always have this weird blinking in the Save As dialogue box. In addition, the entire Save process is painfully slow - whether I'm selecting the Save To folder, or creating a new folder, or renaming the file I am saving.
What gives? I have the most updated version of Office so I can't think what the issue is. I should mention - this problem started after I "upgraded" to Yosemite

Before updating to 3.6.8, I was able to view the site just fine, but now it can't find the language file, and I have no idea where to get it from.
