This was unbelievably helpful. I've been frustrated with this issue of Live for a while now. This was exactly the fix I needed. Props to you. Big Xanga Props.
THANK YOU!!! I'm just starting to use MultiTracks in Ableton, and I couldn't figure out why the files wouldn't load in 11.3. Appreciate the Windows path in the description as well. I'm surprised that Ableton still has not added that options.txt file in later updates, but at least the fix is easy.
Well, it didn't quite save me. I followed the steps, and now I get an error that says "Can't repair pointee IDs since they're non-unique within a single track." Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
@@fromstudiotostage Good to know, Will, thanks! Man, what a pain. My "file" is actually about 40 different triggers for LightKey, which I use to program my lights.
I was having the same problem that you taught to fix in the video, after doing the process that you showed, I tried to open the project in question and now the following message appears "Cant repair pointees Ids since they're non-unique within a single track" Do you know how I can fix this problem too?
That’s an issue that doesn’t have a solution yet. I would either re-do those files or downgrade to 11.1 till it’s fixed. I’d email Ableton’s support so you get the fix once it’s available
Hi Will, I'm still having this issue after adding the Options.txt file and restarting my computer... I have the Apple M2 Pro Chip on the MacBook Pro. Running Ableton 11.2.11
Hey brother, any chance you could help with the corruption error (unknown Compound Stream Type) on Version 11.3.21? I've tried this method and had no luck!
Same issue here bro after downgrade from live 12 beta:((( I hate this Ableton shit because of issues like this. Why they are not warning users before we start use earlier version????
hi, thanks for this, I know it's 2 years old, now,... and I am running 11.3.35 ..... but I have just tried this approach, and it didn't work. I'm still getting the same prompt _ "Note IDs are not unique" . Can you help me out ? thanks again
Doesn't work for me. After placing the txt file and open my projects i get: "Can't repair pointee IDs since they're non-unique within a single track". And this also happend to all backup files in that project. :-(
Now it says "Can't repair pointee IDs since they're non-unique within a single track" - I'm trying to add midi data to cue lightkey changes if that is important to know? Shall I just go to an older version?
Is there a way to make a file from a slightly newer version (both Ableton 11) work in an older software version? Like a converter? I have Version 11.2 on my laptop, but the version on the studio computer is 11.1. Now I can no longer open my files. :( Update is not an option, because this computer is not connected to the internet and I also don't have permission to do so.
Thank you so much, i will give it a try. But before doing that, There was one specific plugin that caused this issue for me. I got some files to work again by replacing the plugin. Will this impact my other projects? I dont want those to suddenly go corrupt
The same thing happened to me. The error went from the "The document ***** is corrupt and cannot be loaded. (Pointee IDs are not unique)" message before the options.txt file, to the "Can't repair pointee IDs since they're non-unique within a single track" after the options.txt file. My OS is Windows too.
HELP: Lightkey Live Triggers not working with live 11.2. It says: “Can’t repair point IDs since they are non-unique within single track”. what can I do?
If it’s just one song, I would re-format that song in a previous version of Live. If it’s every song, I’d reach out to Ableton to see what they say and downgrade to 11.1 in the meantime.
Thanks for the video! That is a really tight facial camera shot. Just some kind feedback maybe make it less cropped in. A view a little zoomed out more would be better in my opinion as this close in view kind of makes the viewer not feel as comfortable. Just my 2 cents. Nothing against you at all. It would be the same regardless of who's making the video it's just a super super up close view. I think instead if it's zoomed out enough to see your head/shoulders and upper torso area it would be a much more comfortable shot!
@@fromstudiotostage No offense or criticism meant, you've clearly helped quite a few people here. but i was wondering, if it is changing the default behaviour of live, maybe it is better to put in the script, open the projects, re-save and remove the script agin, to make sure future projects work conform the current protocol? I'm no coder, so no idea.
I'[m getting this error merssage: Database Missing The product database could not be found. Did you install this software properly? I can't tell if this is from Ableton or one of my plugins.any idea? I tried this solution but it didn't work for me. Always great content .Thanks will.
I got a problem that says there was an error when closing the app because of the preference cfg carpet, I got that error all the time and I don’t know what to do, it’s very frustrating to the point I have to restart the computer to finally close the app, I don’t know what to do, any suggestions?
This fix worked for me for a while, but now it stopped working. I tried uninstalling all of Ableton, reinstalling 11.2.10, and inserting the options.txt file under preferences with no luck.

Thanks a lot, Will. You are faster in publishing this fix than Ableton support 🙂
Thanks! In fairness to Ableton’s support, they gave me this solution, so I’m just faster at recording the video :)

Thnx, it works perfectly now. Should I repeat the process after each Live's update?
Will THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I was going crazy you saved our Sunday Set!!!
Happy to help!
Hey! So I installed the file into the ableton live library but it didn't work for my lightkey live midi triggers. any ideas?
I have Ableton 10 Lite, will this method still work?
You're the man! Thank you!
help me 😭 ableton can't repair pointee ids since they are not-unique within a single track
Is there a way to make a file from a slightly newer version (both Ableton 11) work in an older software version? Like a converter?

If it's just audio files, drag those to an older set.
I wonder why Ableton didn't fix this on 11.2.5, ALL my older sessions show as corrupt, of course I fixed them with the options.txt file. Thanks Will!
They will! 11.2.5 was mainly for Note, I imagine this next one will solve it
Yup, excellent. You are awesome. Thank you!
Thank you so much, i will give it a try. But before doing that, There was one specific plugin that caused this issue for me. I got some files to work again by replacing the plugin. Will this impact my other projects? I dont want those to suddenly go corrupt
Only certain files (seems to be older files) are corrupted.
this didn’t work for me - can you do an updated video for the most recent update
Is there a reason why Ableton isn’t showing up under preferences?
Didn't work on my Windows. It says the IDs are non-unique pr single track.
This is a different issue that Ableton hasn’t fixed yet. You can re-format that file or downgrade till they fix it.

Worked! Thank you
11.2.6 not working any more. Some updates around this?
So, what does the 'RepairNonUniquePointeeIds' actually do? It's nice to know it fixes problems, but i'd like to know what i'm actually changing.
It’s fixing a code-level problem
