Forum: MAC Version Technical Support - Topic: Scanning Files

Just bought the Macbook Pro 15", and installed VDJ. I am a pro, when it comes to setting up VDJ on windows and have been very comfortable with that version. However, as I'm reading in the blogs and have been discovering on my own. There's seem to be some trouble with Mac and VDJ working together. Anywho, had two quick questions to post.

1. I can't seem to scan and save my music files on VDJ. I select the music folder I need scanned, select "Scan for BPM's" and when I re-open VDJ, they seem to have been never scanned. Any ideas?

2. I run Karaoke and music videos at my gigs and want to set up the Mac to the in-house video system which is all analog composite. What do I need to buy to send video signals from the Mini Displayport?

Any help is appreciated.

1) check your folder permissions for your library and vdj...search the forum for more on this

2) http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A should be all you need to go to RCA

OK, I'll check out the info. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks.

Here's an update on my situation.

1.) Adjusted the permissions and files scanned ok.

2.) I bought the Mini Displayport to DVI cable and DVI to S-video/composite cable. Since the two DVI are different types they are not compatible. I found that out when I got home and when I went back to the store, turns out they don't exchange or refund apple products.

So now, I will try out this configuration. Mini Displayport to VGA and VGA to S-Video/Composite.

Wish me luck and thanks for all your help.
