A little help please..
I have looked on forums, you tube, manual, asked friends, raised ticket and still cannot fix my vdj problems. If anyone would kindly help if they know how to fix this would be wonderful & greatly appreciated.
Back Story:
I have been a DJ for over 12years and been using Vdj for the last 3 smoothly with no hiccups. These last few months have proved difficult to say the least and I am hitting every road block there is.
Details:
I have 2 Mac Book Pro's I will refer to one as 'old' and the other as 'new' but both the same spec and year, the 'new' one is just new to my set up.
I was using vdj pro 7 on my old Mac before it crashed and could not hold the amount of songs on its internal hard drive. I then purchased an external hard drive and continued to run vdj 7 on my mountain lion (as back then the El Capitan proved to have capability issues with vdj, so stayed well away from it. There were a few teething issues using it like this but managed to work around and solve the issues in the end.
I then purchased a my new Mac which already had El Capitan loaded. This was my perfect opportunity to see if all can work and would then update my old Mac as soon as I knew all is well. I purchased a second external hard drive and duplicated it all on the 2nd external hard drive. I downloaded the vdj onto my new laptop and hit a road block.
Problem no1. (With old Mac)
I can no longer gain access to iTunes at all as it says I need a new version. Clicked on search for updates but I am all updated.
My vdj 7 still runs and no issues with that, only that I cannot purchase new songs to play.
I believe the problem is that it is linked somehow to the new Mac and El Capitan hence the newer iTunes (fair enough) so... Let's get El Capitan and vdj working on my new Mac and update my old Mac in a bit...
PROBLEM 2 (with new Mac)
When I open vdj 7 on my new Mac running El Capitan it shows the iTunes folder and playlist but all the songs say error when loaded onto a deck.. Unless I type search and select then I works. I have checked path etc as I had this problem with my other Mac but can not figure it out. I have check clean fix etc.
Problem 3 (on new Mac)
I have tried using v8- which I never gave up until this point but a friend suggested it so I did.
I opened v8 I can see iTunes but no playlists underneath.. Can't seem to find it anywhere... Went onto iTunes and shows path in advance settings.. But still does not show. I know in v7 you can right click and set alternative base folder but don't have that option in v8.
Concision:
I'm pretty well done for... 2 macs and nothing working right. Please help.
