DJM 900 Firmware issue

My first DJM 900 was replaced due to issues with another DJM 900. which I just received. The firmware on this mixer is 1.11 I am using a mac book pro with10.6.8 after I download the v120 app and place the djm 900 in update mode when I select the app to open. the app does not take me to the set up screen nothing happens. I thought it may be a bad download so I download the app again and I still get nothing. When I go into the systems/network the Ethernet is yellow and there is a ip address and sub. When I open recordbox the djm 900 works and everything is connected. I tried going straight from the mixer to the mac with a Ethernet cable and still no luck trying to get the djm 900 updated to the new update.
Any help would be appreciated. I called pioneer teck support they could not help and said I should try the forums

firewall?
That's what I thought, I have all firewall off and on the previous DJM 900 I had no problems updating firm. There is no difference from when I had the first DJM 900 and 2nd
Make sure that nothing is connected to the Mixer but the power cord (ie RCA cables, Link cable….)

I tried again, with no cables except the power cable and the Ethernet to the mac. All fire walls are off still no luck. Any chance the other DJM mixer which was bad had an address which its trying to read?
make sure on your network card it's set for DHCP. So it can negotiate a ip addres with the DJM900.
You may possibly have one of the old units that were recalled. I would call in Pioneers with the serial number.

Thanks iamel, I suspected that apparently same ash had 3, one I bought then returned do to recall, 2nd one has a defect, now they are checking the 3rd one to see if it's part of the old batch............ Called teck support twice today. They were no help or did they give me any directions I was told to post on the forums. I am very disappointed in there phone support. After I hung up my 15 year old son laughed and said that guy just totally blew you off..........
Thanks for everyone's support on the forums I really appreciate it
I see you posted this issue to two different threads; the other says you've resolved the issue, so I'll consider this solved!
i know this discussion is fairly old but i am having the same issue with my mixer which i purchased today. can someone help plese?
When I upgraded the firmware from 1.20 to 1.21, the color dot for the ethernet connection on the MacBook Pro was yellow (not green). It had an APIPA address (something in the 169.254.x.x range). I was able to upgrade the firmware on the DJM-900 fine from a 2011 15" MacBook Pro. I'll have to check the OS version but from a quick search on the Internet, it's 10.6.6, 10.6.7,10.7, or 10.7.2.
Same here - I updated the firmware from 1.2 to 1.21 (the instructions were shocking - some Chinese field worker must've typed them) via a standard LAN cable to my iMac. The indicator was yellow, not green, but it worked anyway. I ensured that all fields in the Ethernet connection window were empty (i.e. no DNS).
