I created some tracks at a friend's home studio and am trying to import the wav files into logic to arrange them. When I try loading them (dragging and dropping them), I get the following message: "Insufficient access privileges for operation, result code -5000". Since we created the wav files, I wouldn't have thought their would be any sort of protection on the files. Am I doing something incorrectly? PS - I had the same problem when I converted some old band tapes to CD using a standalone cassette-CD machine. When I import the files to edit, same error, then each time I launch the session, Logic tries to re-import the files. Thanks, Kevin

You don't mentioned what OS you're using... if you're on OS X try Get Info on the wav files and make sure your permissions are set correctly. Also check the file's association -- I noticed that Logic will allow me to import AIFF files that are currently set to open with either BiasPeak or Logic, but not others - I have to change the association first before Logic will allow me to use them.

I'm on a Mac, exchanging files regularly with a writing partner who uses Logic for Windows, so we ran into the same problem. I found that I can select the WAV files and the folders containing them all at once and change Ownership & Permissions using Get Info (command I) only once. I don't have to repeat the process for each file.

Go to "Get Info" from your FILE pulldown menu and check to see if your Privledges allow to to "read & write" or just "read". If the file is set to "Read Only" change it to "Read & Write" and everything will work fine. It's an OS X "permissions" thing.

I did forget to mention that I am running OSX. Again, thanks. Kevin

It always happen when files imported on a mac from a PC burned CD. Remember to change privileges.
