[SOLVED] No waveforms and BPM on CDJ

I've been using Rekordbox for about 2 years with my CDJ-900's without any problem but Recently something strange happened.

Before when i inserted my USB drive into the CDJ-900 the waveforms and BPM would load instanly when loading a track but since recent it stopped doing that.

So now when I load a track in the CDJ, the waveform starts building and no BPM is diplayed just as if a track from a non Rekordbox device would load. With the only difference that the cuepoints are loaded.

Any idea what might caused this and how to solve?

I must note this happened after i migrated my sytem folder to another drive on my Mac which holds Rekordbox but i don't know if this is the cause since the whole systemfolder is the same as before.

This is interesting: i rebooted from my old drive (which contails the original system foldfer from which i made a clone on a new drive). and exported a USB drive from my Rekordbox and guess what.. the waveforma and BPM show directly on the CDJ when loading a track in Rekordbox.

So this was the cause but i still don't know how to solve. Is there an old path in some file that i need to update? Od do i need to re-install Rekordbox? Or isn'tt this solvable at all without returning my system folder to my old drive? I hope not because i used an SSD drive for my system folder which makes my Mac a lot faster.

I reïnstalled Rekordbox but that didn't help.

So i now have a cloned system on my new drive where exporting from Rekordbox doesn't work and a working system on my old drive.

The Rekordbox databases in User/Library/Pioneer are exactly the same on both drives. I can only make a working export if i do it from my old drive onto an empty USB drive. If i update a non working drive on my working system it still doesn't work.

I'm out of clues.. please help!

You need to move the hidden folder as well. http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/20658308-Migrating-Your-Rekordbox-Database

Thanks for the tip but i think it is working now after i repaired the disk permissions with DiskUtility.

I found this topic and i hope it will keep working now:
