Reinstalled Logic and now loop overview privileges are insufficient

I reinstalled Logic Pro X (10.2) in an (unsuccessful) effort to get Melodyne to stop crashing validation and now when I load a project that contains Apple Loop files, I get the following message:

"Audio file “Classic Rock Riffing 02.caf” does not have sufficient access privileges. An overview can not be saved!"

I have seen similar issues on the discussion board but they all had Logic running on a networked hard drive (or something similar). This isn't the case for me, so I was wondering if there's some way to remedy this. Perhaps my Apple Loops need to be reinstalled or reindexed or something. If so, can anyone tell me how to do this?

Logic Pro X, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Hi

Have you tried saving the project with assets first?

It stops the error messages coming up in that project, however the issue is still there with new projects?

What if you someone doesn't want to keep the audio loops in the project folder?

Someone must have a solution for this, no?

Thanks for your help.

Ok I fixed the permissions issues on my system permanently!

I'm not sure if this is the same issues that other people may have but this is how I fixed my issues.

1. Go into your "StartUpDrive/Library/Audio" Folder

2. Highlight "Apple Loops" folder, and Press "Command I" (Get Info Window pops up)

3. Go down to where is says Sharing & Permissions (open small arrow on left if it's not already open)

4. Click on the Lock at the bottom right, and put in your Username and Admin password in the pop up window.

5. Look at what's there. You should have an "admin - Read & Write" there. If not then that is the problem.

In my case I had...

System - Read & Write

Wheel - Read only (This was the problem on my computer)

everyone - Read only

6. If you don't have "Admin - Read & Write" then Press on the + button on the bottom left hand side, and choose Administrators.

7. When the "Admin" shows up under name column, change the privilege to Read & Write under Privilege column.

8. Make sure the "Admin" rowis selected, then Press on the Star pop-up menu next to the + - boxes, and choose "Apply to enclosed items..."

9. Press on the Lock at the bottom right to lock it again.

This has fixed the irritating pop up error, that I would always get when I used Audo Loops in Logic Pro X.
