Hi,

I just decided to switch my serato to mac and bought a mac book and installed 1.8 on it..

MAC OS X Version 10.4.10
Processor: 2 Ghz intel core duo
1 GB ram


Whatever i do (import, crates etc) disappears when i restart the program...

Also, im getting the USB sign every now and then when i connect the hardware--i never got that on my pc..

Please help,

Thanks

I tried downgrading to previous versions of SERATO but still nothing..as soon as i exit the software all crates dissapear!

Thanks

hi ceasar k,

can you check that your music/scratchlive folder is read/write? select it in finder then press apple+i to bring up the info panel on it.

try re-naming the scratchlive folder with ssl closed and restarting.

My bad..i think it was because my music was located on the windows partition..it worked now! Thanks..

Regarding the USB sign that keeps popping up every now and then..any settings i should make on my mac other than turning off the airport?
