hey ryan - this is the permission issue i have been trying to get you to change via PM.

On your Mac follow these steps: Documents >> Virtual DJ >> Virtual DJ Datababe - Open the "Get Info" oprtion for the Database file. At the bottom ensure that the permissions are set to both Read & Write.

Ensure you do this for your Mac and any additional harddrives that VDJ uses.

When I go to documents and open the virtual dj folder there is no folder or file named virtual dj database. The only folders and files i see are: Language.xml, playlists, plugins, sampler, shortcuts_default.xml, skins, tracklisting, and Virtual Dj 5 User guide

***I also tried doing it on my external HD and all of the folders say read only and it wont let me change it...

Ok mate - it sounds as though your had drive will need formatting to be able to Read & Write on your Mac. Just make sure you back everything up first.

If you have no database file in documents i would suggest uninstalling - downloading again and reinstalling. This is a fundamental part of the software - it needs to there.

im ready to give up on this thing, i've deleted and reinstalled vdj about 5 times now and the database file still doesn't appear

disregard the last post....I now have a database file...lol, it was a permission thing, I wasn't clicking on the little rotary wheel on the bottom and that was the whole issue. Thanks for your help DJ Touchdan, you were right all along. As for the HD, Im going to go buy the seagate HD for MAC and add all of my music videos onto that. It might take awhile to name them all but once its done i should be good to go

One thing you could try before you spend that money - do a google search for a program called MACFUSE. This may help you be able to read and write to your existing drive.

I have never used it so i can't say for sure if it will work - but the idea of the software is to be able to use Windows HD's within OSX.

Give it a go.....let me know how it goes.
