Logic can't find Ultrabeat samples after swapping hard-drive-HELP!

Hi!
I have just replaced my 'audio' drive with a larger one. From 280Gb to 1Tb. Woohoo
I named the new drive exactly the same thing as my old drive, Same format (Extended Journaled) Copied the entire folder structure across intact - and as far as I can see - all the paths to all my audio are exactly the same as they were on my old drive... Even the cute icons on the shortcuts in my sidebar are now automatically linking to the correct places in my new drive.
BUT...
Logic now can't find anything. Well lets be more specific, When I try to load a song there seem to be two types of files it can't locate:
1/ Ultrabeat samples. Ie: the .aif and .wav samples that I have loaded into my own custom Ultrabeat instruments. When loading a song a dialog box appears asking me to find these audio files for it...
Not such a 'show stopper' you may think, but I have anywhere up to 10 Ultrabeat instruments in a song - and, of course, each one has up to 20 samples... Multiply by 50 songs - yeah - you get the point - this is nightmarish
2/ Audio files referenced in the song itself with long file names. Logic seems to be finding audio files in the song with short file names, but then comes up with dialog boxes during song load asking me to find filenames that are TRUNCATED! argh! So instead of the file 'Kik-Reggaeton warm 01' I am asked to locate 'Kik-reggaeton wa#16E59'. Now I have a lot of reggaeton kicks!! Which one does it want? And note also - that in the audio files associated with the song - none of the file names have been truncated! So which one is it looking for????? Corrupted look-up table? Wha?????
Just to clarify too:
-Logic 7.2.3 (961.9)
-PPC G5, 2.5Mb Ram
-Osx 10.4.11
And the system drive has remain unchanged! I have just swapped out my drive with all my Audio on it. So my /user path and so on remains unchangted.
This is driving me NUTS! I have a beautiful big new drive to play with, am bursting the seams of my current one and have an album to finish... I've looked on every Logic forum and group I can find and there is very little reference to this kind of problem, but I'm sure some-one else must have come across this before... There are some very cool tools in Project manager for resolving this kind of problem - but they only apply to EXS instruments and songs - not Ultrabeat instruments!
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Dan

Well, I just tired the cloning approach, using 'Carbon Copy Clone', and unfortunately...
The problem remains.
Can anyone help here? Does anyone have a contact within the Logic development team?
Below is the problem again in as concise format as I can make it, can any-one forward this on?
Thanks for any help...
THE MAIN QUESTION
Does the Ultrabeat Instrument in Logic 7 store some form of unique Drive Identifier in it's path information for each sample it loads (in relation to user loaded samples - not preset samples.)
THE PROBLEM
I have an internal 'Audio' Drive (300Gb) in my G5, which I would like to replace with a new drive (1000Gb). But when I copy all my data across (including all my sample libraries) and then run Logic - Ultrabeat no longer can find the samples on the new drive. Of course - since I have hundreds of Ultrabeat instruments each with up to 24 samples referenced, having to find and point to each sample would take a looooong time.
Furthermore, internally Ultrabeat seems to be truncating long file names, so asking me to find "KIK-File name tester f#F15C.wav" and of course I have many such files with the differentiating number at the END of the filename - so I cannot tell which file it wants.
MORE DETAILS
-Logic 7.2.3 (961.9)
-PPC Dual 2Ghz G5, 2.5Mb Ram
-Osx 10.4.11
I have tried Carbon Clone Copying the data from old drive to new drive. The Drive Names are the same, so as far as I can tell the entire path for the samples should identical... Other applications correctly find files on the new drive. Mac OS resolves paths correctly to the extent that custom Folder Icons display correctly on the new drive.
Ultrabeat asks me to find both samples with short filenames, and long filenames. The long filenames it asks for are truncated in the 'Ultrabeat:Please Locate:filename' window.
Furthermore, some SONG data is not found - any file referenced in a song with a long file name is asked to be found by the truncated name.
'Audio file "bustarhymes-touch_it#F14C.aif" not found!
Audio with short filenames ARE succesfully found by the song.
This is not so bad because with Project Manager I have some tools to locate samples, but these tools do not apply to the Ultrabeat instrument - which is my main problem.
Any help or advice, please contact:

  • Can't find iCal URL after my hard drive died!

    So after buying a brand new iMac G5 in November, only to hear my hard drive fail on Monday, I bought a new MacBook Pro today.
    Only now, I've lost the URL to my published iCal.
    I've entered the path ical.mac.com/username/calendar to no avail. Any tips?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Where can I find an Apple certified internal hard drive?

    I have a December 2006 MacBook Pro that I upgraded RAM and hard drives (twice) from OWC. After having Apple replace the display and the motherboard (again twice) I've been having boot problems. My local Genius Bar told me to replace the RAM with my original RAM and see if it solves the problem.
    Well, it seems to solve it, but my internal HD shows up as "Failing" in disk utility. I cleaned off my original 120GB HD and installed the OS (Snow Leopard) and whenever it's plugged into firewire, the system will boot automatically to it rather than the internal drive.
    There's an Apple logo on the original drive, so there's something about it that the Mac likes. There seems to be something to the "official" Apple hardware deal.
    My problem is that the Apple Store doesn't seem to sell either internal drives for notebooks or memory for MacBook Pros as old as mine.
    I can take it back to the Genius Bar to find out if they can sell me the right stuff without having to install it themselves, but I'd much rather do it myself, so I don't have to let go of my computer, which I use every day.
    Any thoughts? Apparently I can't trust the hardware that OWC sells. Does this make any sense?

    Where can I find an Apple certified internal hard drive?
    At Apple
    But if you want to spend less ..... OWC have a great selection and are very Mac Friendly

  • ITunes can not find my music on external hard drive

    Had to redo my hard drive; had all music on external hard drive; copied iTunes folder onto external hard drive. Now that my desktop hard drive is clean, and new iTunes downloaded, it can not find my music on the external drive which I have always used. Is there some setting I am missing, do I have to copy music onto CPU?

    Hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes. You will get the option to navigate to the iTunes folder on your external drive. In the iTunes folder point it to the iTunes Library.itl file.

  • Can't recover my system after a hard drive crash.

    Hello
    My hp DV6-3123tx's hard drive crashed because of a collision
    Steps i did:
    Got a new hard drive and fit it in.
    Using recovery DVDs tried to format it.
    Everything was good but when the system reboots to install drivers it just gets stuck at the starting page (on which hp is written). I waited for hours together but it doesn't recover from that state
    P.S: I had removed CMOS too after my hard drive crashed but restored and saved it's default settings in BIOS before the above mentioned steps.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, here's an alternative option you could try.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Logic Can't Find Audio Files After a Time Machine Restore

    My hard drive crashed so I was forced to restore by using Time Machine. Now when I open some of my old projects they cannot find certain Audio FIles. These Audio Files seem to be files not ordinarily found in the Audio Files Folder inside the project folder, these files have the same names as the "Undo Data" Folders. These files are not physically there when I search the older backups in Time Machine. Im assuming that these are Virtual files created by Logic within the Undo Data. How do I get them to become recognized again???
    Please Help!

    "audiofile.caf" means an audio file (surprise!) in Core Audio Format. IOW, a generic term for anything you might like to deal with in Logic. The implication is that it thinks you want to do something with a file (it understands you are attempting a drag-&-drop operation), but it doesn't know anything about the file — not even its name.
    There are other ways to get audio files into your arrangement, so you should try those ( e.g.: +Audio > Import Audio File+ ). Drag-&-drop is just one method; the others are equally good, & if they work, we can take it from there. Meanwhile — you are sure you are dragging the actual file, & not an alias? Or some other 'not-the-actual-file' type thing?

    Hi, I followed the directions several times to transfer my PC files to my new MackBook Pro....says complete...but I can't find the files...any idea what I did wrong? Thanks!

    Check your user accounts to see if Windows created a new one. I've read it does when migrating. Check for the files in that account, if it did create a new one.

  • Windows Vista can't find Firefox.exe on my hard drive, but it is there. How can I get Firefox to run?

    Hey merodi,
    I dont fully understand your problem here,
    1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
    2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
    3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document.

  • Can't find imovie file on my hard drive

    I have a imovie file on my hard drive that I can't find. I really want to delete it so
    that I can free up some room on my hard rive. It's at least 15 gigs big. I tried using the search icon in the upper right hand corner and I tried using the 'find' option under the 'finder' menu, searching for any files over 5 gigs in size. Can anyone help me find this file so I can get rid of it?

    An iMovie project is a package, not a file; the actual files inside it are smaller. Use a tool such as WhatSize to locate it.

  • Can't find my files on external hard drive

    My old computer (iBook G4) recently died, and I extracted the Hard drive from the computer. I got an external enclosure for the hard drive and got it up and running, and it shows up on my MacBook Pro.
    My problem is that I can't find the files I really want, which were in the "Users" file. I can get to the Users file, and it says that there is 15GB in the folder, but when I open it there only like two files, and I even checked the hidden folders and they simply weren't there. Any ideas?

    I'm guessing it's related to Permissions have you tried repairing them on the old volume ?
    Did you try running Migration Assistant to see if it can see the content you want to bring over ?

  • How can I find saved movies on my hard drive?

    I am trying to clean out my hard drive by putting a lot of pictures and videos on an external hard drive.  I went through all my saved videos that were in Iphoto and transfered them to the hard drive and then deleted them. 
    When I open up my storage information it still says I have 84 GB of videos on my Macbook Pro hard drive, which doesn't make sense because I just transfered and deleted 77 GB of video.(Had 84 to start with)  I tried searching the hard drive but I have no clue where else the videos could be saved. 
    Can anyone help??

  • I can not find my photos from external hard drive

    I installed seagate external hard drive as my back up and time machine is on. I went to iPhoto and I am not able to see my albums.  Did I lost all my pictures?   How can I retrieve it and put them back on my iPhoto?  The external HD is being used as the main portion and it shows that there is no photos.  I am using iPhoto 9.6.1. 

    No idea what you mean by "main driver". Are you saying that you copied/backed up your internal hard drive to the Seagate and are now using that as your boot up?
    Also do not know what you mean by "drag/copy master to iPhoto".
    Your photos should be contained in your iPhoto library (your Home folder > Pictures)
    To make it clear for us:
    are you using your regular internal hard drive to work with?
    do you have iPhoto there and is it working with your photos?
    did you use Time Machine to back up your system to the Seagate?
