external hard drive does not show up + Activation key

Hi,

I have a mac book pro mid 2012, o.s. el capitán + ddj-sz + rkbx 4.06

Since the very begining my external hard drive was not shown

in the explorer tree.

What can i do to see it.

On the other hand, it happened by now 3 (three) times when i open the rkbx 4 that i have to insert the activation key. What do im doing wrong?

Thank you!

Thank you.

This has been an issue since day 1, rather than provide the workaround I provided, rekordbox seem to want to just let people struggle.

im sure they're working on it, but if you search through this thread you'll find a post of mine on how to fix it (a solution that works, but it doesn't fix the issue rb has)

failing that, google how to create a symlink on Mac of your hdd replacing the original music folder :)

Hi Rob Many thanks for your input. For me this a is major issue. I have more fun playing with RKBX 4, but i must keep on using Traktor due to this. I really expect Pioneer fix this in the near future...

No problem, heres the link to the post I made about this, hope it helps, certainly allows you to use RB4 and a 2nd drive (mines internal, but it should work with external too) its a workaround until pioneer manage to find a proper solution anyway :) https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203939083-Tutorial-How-to-enable-RB-to-see-folders-on-a-2nd-HDD-Partition-OSX

Hi Rob,

Many thanks for your effort and kind attitude. However i should wait till pioneer finds a solution, as i'm afraid to lose/break all my other softwares database.....

Really appreciate your help.

@Roberto > External drives can be shown without any additional kludging or work-arounds, it just depends on the configuration of the drive and the mode of rekordbox. Can you provide a bit more detail?

As for the license needing to be re-entered, have you verified that your user has permission to write to the rekordbox folder? I would suggest you try repairing the permissions via the First Aid tool in the Disk Utility application (found under Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility).
