AIFF import problems into Logic Pro
Can anyone explain why I can't import AIFF files into a Logic Pro project file?
I've already checked the support page which indicates the following, but AIFF files are not importing at all:

When AIFF files are affected
When you try to import an AIFF file that contains compressed data (known as AIFF-C) into Logic Pro or Logic Express, you may find that you are unable to do this. Instead, you will see this message:
"What kind of file is this?"
For AIFF files, this issue affects only Logic Pro and Logic Express 7.0 to 7.0.1. (See Getting the Logic 7.1 Upgrade).
When AAC and MP3 files are affected
This affects AAC and MP3 files only on Mac OS X 10.4 or later systems with Logic Pro or Express 7.1 or later. The first time you try to import a file, the attempt may fail without any warning. On a subsequent attempt, you see the message ""xxx.aif - what kind of file is this?", where xxx is the name of the file.
When importing a compressed file, Logic starts by making an AIFF copy. The root issue is that these AIFF copies are sometimes left incomplete during the import attempt. On the second attempt, Logic attempts to reference the incomplete AIFF file rather than the original source file, which is why you see the message only on subsequent attempts.
The work around is to locate and delete the AIFF copy, then try again. The AIFF copy will be located in the same folder as the original file.
