Can't access file database: Database Error: Disk I/O error
- Live Versions: All
- Operating System: All
The following error messages might appear while launching Live or while accessing the Live browser:
- Can't Access Database: Disk I/O Error
- Can't access file database: Database Error: Disk I/O error
- Database disk image is malformed
To solve the problem you'll need to delete the Live Database.
- Close Live
- Access the Database folder for the Live version currently in use. This folder is located here:
Live 11, 10, Windows: \Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Ableton\Live Database\
Live 11, 10, Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Live Database/
Live 9, Windows: \Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 9.7.5\Database\
Live 9, Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Live 9.7.5/Database/
Note: these folders are usually hidden by default. Here's how to access them - Delete the content of the folder, leaving the folder itself in place
- Restart Live
At this point, Live will need to re-index all the content added to Places. As soon as the process progresses, your presets will start to appear in the respective categories.
