Can not save, "The system cannot find the file specified"
I have been using the same setup for years (WIN 10, details below), recording to a mapped network drive. I just upgraded from PT11 to PT 2020.5 and now I can open and play/record existing sessions, but I CAN NOT SAVE any sessions to the network drive (save new, save existing, save as, or save a copy). Basically out of commission.
I CAN save to my system disk, but the system isn't built for that and the disk has limted capacity (just wanted to mention that I CAN save somewhere). All other apps I use can still save to the network drives normally. Error examples: Could not save as "songname_v1" because The system cannot find the file specified. (2) p:\ProTools\_SONGS\songname\songname_v1\myhwQSJBdw yrMBBB\bfqxQSJBczyrMBBB:AFP_AfpInfo. Could not save a copy in "Copy of songname_v1" because The system cannot find the file specified. (2) p:\ProTools\_SONGS\songname\songname_v1\gxbhSFMBrh fcQBBB\bqfmSFMBrqfcQBBB:AFP_AfpInfo. PC: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-00xx Windows 10 64-bit AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8-Core processor 3GHz 16 GB RAM Beringer U-Phoria UMC1820 ProTools 2020.5.0 Network drive is on a Synology Diskstation DS212+ with about 200GB (20%) free. I have been Googling this for days, and have toyed with disk permissions, but can't find the solution. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

Re: Can not save, "The system cannot find the file specified"
Hi,
In the workspace window. (Window>workspace) is the drive set to R (Record) in the 2 columns labelled A and V (Audio and video) If its set to P (Playback) or T (Transfer) it probably wont allow you to save the session to it. you can simply hold the mouse over and change to R in the columns. Chris

Re: Can not save, "The system cannot find the file specified"
Hi Chris. Thanks for the reply. It has been impossible to find support. :)
Yes, the drive is set to R (Record). Any other ideas? Do you know what kind of file that is that it says it can't save? (\gswxYMYWhrsyJBBB\pmvyYMYWvvsyJBBB:AFP_AfpInfo) Seems like some kind of hidden system file? |

Re: Can not save, "The system cannot find the file specified"
Hi everyone!
Same problem here: Even the drives are marked as R (record), I get the error: Could not save as "SESSION_V2" because Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. (2) l:\Client 02\SESSIONPATH\fxsmWSPBzyfgPBBB\vmzmWSPBszfgPBBB:A FP_AfpInfo. (The german line says: The System can not find the specified file.) This all on a SYNOLOGY Network Drive, we are working on since 6 years without ANY problem! On a 2nd SYNOLOGY Network Drive (worked before as well) we have the same issue!!!!!!! Any Samba Error in Pro Tools, Filesystem problem? AFP-Apple Error ? Windows 10, PT Ultimate 2019.12 AND 2020.5 on Hewlett Packard Z400. Best mcfid. |

Re: Can not save, "The system cannot find the file specified"
Very interesting mcfid. Thanks for sharing that info. I will also research this from the Diskstation angle. Please let me know if you make any progress with your ProTools/Diskstation setup.

Re: Can not save, "The system cannot find the file specified"
I do the same on my end.
As far as I remember, there was a quiet DSM Update not very long ago... What I do now is to try to figure out, if Synology is to blame by stepping trough all the SAMBA/CIFS/AFP Networking parameters. There is nothing to be found on their website with "Pro Tools...AFP_Info". Lets stay in touch and if I find something out, I will let you know! Cheers from Austria, Stefan. |

Re: Can not save, "The system cannot find the file specified"
Yes, in the Diskstation log I can see that an update was applied right around the time that this problem started for me. I have opened a ticket with Synology. Let's keep in touch on this. Thank you again!
