Topic: Repairing database on Mac

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hey guys. I had my mac serviced and now my Mac username is different from what it was previously. I restored VDJ from the backup that I had. But when I run VDJ, my songs cant load now because the database points to the file using my old username. I'm trying to fix this by opening up the VDJ database and replacing the old username with my new one. However everytime I try to open up the database with Textedit or any other word processor I get an error which says

"The document “VirtualDJ Database v6.xml” could not be opened. Text encoding Unicode (UTF-8) isn’t applicable."

Any ideas how I can solve this? Thanks.
