Hello,

I am using  Lacie Big Disk Extreme to stream my EXS samples. On my Power Mac
it works well, but on my iMac I regularly get the old insufficient
privileges chestnut. It's not read only etc, it's not disk permissions.
Within the same folder some files will work and others won't (it's mainly my
Vienna Symphonic Library stuff.) I've been told that sometimes Logic screws
up permissions in the OS itself through some sort of bug. Does anyone know
if this is true, and if so do I have to reinstall Logic? Would that even
work? I know other people are having this problem but no one has given an
explanation that doesn't insult the intelligence of the complainant!

Hi Ash,

Strange that some files in a folder do work and some don't. Have you 
ever tried to enable <Ignore ownership on this volume> ? (Maybe 
individual files are locked or have slightly different permissions)

Another suggestion: are the EXS instrument files on the iMac resolved properly?

Simple ideas, no offence intended.....  :-)

The OSX get-info window button that applies permissions to enclosed  
items often does not work fully.  I have no idea why that defect is  
there but it has happened to me.   I was able to solve it with this  
free program:

BatChMod

download from: http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/

This program can set permissions for folders, groups of folders, and  
also apply the permissions to every file within the folders.  It's a  
unix script with a graphic interface that accesses capabilities  
hidden in OS X.

If you use it, be very careful to read and understand the  
documentation and make sure you are doing exactly what you intend to  
do, since it can change permissions on many folders and files at once.
