Provide as much detail of the issue here:
Recently purchased my CDJ2000, set everything up and installed rekordbox 1.4.1, everything was working fine. Recently just tidyed up my music library and went to import all the tracks into rekordbox for analysing, only 445 tracks. It started to analyse the files then unexpectedly crashed. Then every time I try to open the program it crashes, do not even get the screen. I did get it to open once and very quickly hit command A, ctr del and removed all files, rekordbox then seem to work, I didn't know about bridging so went to import all my tracks it crashed and I have never been able to open the program since. I have removed the program, and re installed, I have lost count of how many times. Today i downloaded 1.5.1 and installed that still it will not open.
Keep getting the message. rekordbox quit unexpectedly.
Since reloading the program it has never asked me for the key to confirm I am assuming but never get the window, and i have read in many threads about rewording the library, well there are no libraries anywhere to be found on my iMac.
Hope you can help because this is really frustrating.
I look forward to hearing from people.

This is currently being looked at by pioneer but i have found a workaround as i have the same issue.
Open the pioneer folder and drag your datafile.edb to your desktop.
open rekordbox
import your datafile by going to
file > library > backup > restore
Hopefully this should do the trick for now ...
I can't even get to that, i click the icon, get the rekordbox logo on start up, then the program crashes, I don't get the chance to see the main rekordbox screen.
I have also done a search for the library and cannot find the file anywhere on my mac. Really strange thought it would find the library
you need to remove the datafile before you open rbx or this workaround will not work,
you will find it in -- OSX: /Users/yourusername/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox
This is the thing, there are no Library folders to be found anywhere on my Mac.
I have searched the computer and it finds nothing called pioneer anywhere.
Im assuming you need to unhide the folder as you do with windows,
maybe a mac owner can chip in here?
OSX: /Users/yourusername/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox
OK, question answered.
I have been in touch with Pioneer support in Victoria, these guys are really helpful.
They contacted me this morning after having feedback from Japan. Currently OSX Lion does not support Rekordbox, they are currently rectifying and hope to release the new Rekordbox update in November.
Frustrating but at least I only have to wait a few weeks. Luckily I have Serato on my computer, they rectified their issue with Lion a couple of weeks after it was released.
OSX does support Lion, but the problem is still likely your database file. To find your hidden files: http://lifehacker.com/188892/show-hidden-files-in-finder
As @Pionix says, you should move the database file out of the Pioneer folder (as listed) and try launching the program again. If it opens, the problem is 100% your database file. Try importing it and see if that works.
Same problem MAC OS 10.5.8 RB Version 1.51
@Frank > If you remove your database.edb file and start from scratch, the software works fine? Or does it crash again after importing a certain song?
Doesn't seem to be a particular song - started my own thread here - http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/20647303-program-quits-unexpetedly-after-launching-repeatedly
sorry for 2x post, but I realized what was happening to me was a bit different after the fact
Pulse, thanks for touching base, yes I have tried removing the edb file, all it does it remove all my tracks and I have to start again, and again when I import a track it just crashes again, the cycle just keep repeating itself, I rarely get past the "Rekordbox has unexpectedly quit message" I deleted the program again last night and it just keeps crashing.
Now also running 1.5.2 but still not working. Know there is enough memory on the mac, on have standard memory but that is 500GB hard rive and 4GB memory.
@Gill > Are you importing just ONE track to that empty database and it crashes?
I don't even get that far, the problem is I press the Rekordbox icon in my applications panel, the program starts to open up and I see the Rekordbox start up image that you get just before it opens up, then just as it would normally go the the rekordbox program the program crashes and I get the Rekordbox has unexpectedly quit window. with ignore, report, retry etc.
So doing anything to the database file is a waste of time as the biggest issue I have is the crashing on start up, I don't have many programs accept for the standard mac programs that come with the computer plus Serato, Beatport downloader, VLC player, Ableton, Audacity, Bittorrect.
If on the odd chance the program does open I can only drag 2 - 3 songs across and it will crash again, then it reverts back to crashing before the program even opens.
@Gill > Are you importing just ONE track to that empty database and it crashes?
i am having this problem... the program opens fine then when i add 1 song from itunes bridge it crashes?
If I can get the program to open, then yes dragging 1 or 2 tracks across from the bridge crashes. I have Pulse on the case and am hoping he may have some info soon, I think there is some conflict with Lion and Rekordbox, Snow Leopard seems to work perfectly.

@Gill > Thanks, I'm in Miami so not able to get to stuff as fast as normal. ;)
You lucky b@#$%!^&
I am waiting till next year, then there is a group of us from Sydney heading over
Well I managed to resolve my issue, had to make a call to Apple but resolved it, I am now running 1.5.3 fine, all I needed to do was a full clear out of all the rekordbox folders, not just deleting the application. It seems the reason for the crashes was a corrupted hidden file, once I had wiped every pioneer folder off my mac I reinstalled it and bam now I am able to use rekordbox. Hope this helps others having the issue. Took me 5 months but i got there.
