Consistent Missing File Error When Reopening Projects in Logic Pro

Has anyone else run into this?


Every time I open an existing saved project, Logic gives me this message:


“The audio file ‘(name)’ was not found in its expected location.”


I always check the “Copy audio files into project” box when saving, and the files are definitely in the right folder. This only started happening over the past week.


As you can see in the screenshot I attached the files are right there in the exact folder Logic is looking in, but for some reason it still can’t find them.


I’ve tried using the “Search on all mounted volumes” option but that usually pulls in the wrong versions from other projects with similar file names.


The only workaround I’ve found is manually locating and relinking each file which is super time-consuming when dealing with 100+ audio files.


I’m on macOS 15.4.1 and Logic Pro 11.1.2. Apple Support wasn’t able to help, so they suggested I post here. If anyone’s experienced this or has a fix, I’d really appreciate the help.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.4

I'm having the same issue. I'm also 15.4.1 and Logic 11.1.2

This is a nightmare. I'm a full time composer and every single session needs the audio files relinked by hand. The search function does not locate anything. When I took the time to relink a session some of the files were wrong and one of the files was even playing reversed. I need help desperately.
