Hi everyone, When bouncing I sometimes get error file already exists error = -48. This message comes irregularly. This is a real bug, please answer if anyone has come across the same problem and how you worked around it ! The file is written, you can even write an audio Cd. The problem starts when you want to use it in the Windows environment. Windows does not recognize it as a wav file but rather as a raw file. Definitely something wrong with the file. Any suggestions ? Thanks. Peter Mac Pro 2,66 / Logic 7.2.3

Yes, I have this error too - again it seems to cause no problem and because I don't use the windows environment I had not spotted that particular problem. I would agree it is a definite bug but I've been unable to reproduce it at will Not much help I know - but solidarity.. regards Steve

It seems like I get it (most often) if an existing file is used by the program and I try to overwrite it. Doug

Not sure about the original poster but I am not referring to files that are being overwritten. I get this message everytime I try to mix and bounce a sub out. Even if its the very first time. JP

I had this a couple of weeks ago and it seemed to me that there may be a temp file (or files) created when bouncing, when trying to bounce a second time Logic (or OSX) can't write to the temp file. Anyway, bouncing to a different location fixed the problem. HW

Have you tried checking "ignore permissions" in the "get info" pannel of that disk/partition? Just an idea... Best, Andy -- Andy Hardwake Composer/Producer <http://www.myspace.com/andyhardwake>;

I'm using Logic v7.2.1 on OS10.4.9 I just kept hoping it would be fixed. It's not as though Apple ever reply to your problems..... Regards - Colin

Any change Spotlight is indexing while you're seeing this error?

I just finished a project and every bounce (almost all were new files) to create stereo masters was accompanied by the error message. I don't recall this being so consistent. I do have my default set to BWF. Doug

I remember having all kinds of problems, which in the end appeared permission related, and checking this seemed to have fixed it.

Hi everyone, Thanks for all your replies ! The most important things to remember I guess : - writing to another folder - disk permissions Cheers, Peter
