All of a sudden my files are Read Only

Post by ikojoe »

From out of the blue, when I try to Save a wav files I'm hit with an error message saying this is a Read Only volume and that I cannot Save or Save as. This includes files that I have previously opened and named. Why oh why is this happening? Thanks.

Are you using the App Store version? If yes, this sounds like a sandboxing issue. Please see

http://www.hairersoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2045

on how to transfer your license to the non-App Store version. Regards,

Martin

Are you trying to save to a networked hard drive? I've heard of occasional situations where there are problems saving to external drives mounted using the SMB protocol... Regards,

Martin

I am a solo piano player. I record to a Yamaha pocket trak. I download my files to an external hard drive, Amadeus is on my Mac drive. I have used it this way since the turn of the century. I have not changed anything anywhere at any time only now for some unexplained reason, my new files as well as files I have loaded AND NAMED cannot be opened and re-saved...Pro is telling me they are READ ONLY...

The Get Info shows several things...I took a screen shot but do not know how to insert an image into this post...I will send two images to your email address and I hope that is alright and/or permissible...at first I thought the new iTunes update went in and changed the settings in Amadeus where it says Open With...it was set to iTunes (the new red button version) and I changed it to Amadeus but with no positive result when I went to see if Amadeus would save a file. Still has a "Read Only" window pop up and I made a screen shot of that as well...sending that too. Now I have a license for Pro, the Manager says it is to "never expire" but whenever I open the program from shut down, it will ask me to download the program...I ignore the prompt, the program opens and in the past I have imported files, tweaked them and saved them with no problem..[/url]

Could you try using the version at

I suspect that this will fix your problem. Regards,
