Hi, i allmost smashed my mac today as i tried to open vdj.

It worked yesterday, i need it for some work today and all it says is "internal database is corupted".

I´ve seen this on pc aswell but i dont remember how i fixed it.

After i press ok it says

"Invalid skin file (error line %i in the xml)"

Now i´ve moved all the files to the trash, and erased them, reinstalled and the same prob, done the same thing, tested with both the 12 and 13 vers (13 is the latest) and none of them are working, i´ve unzipped the skins but it did´nt help either.

Ive erased everything i´ve had when i searched for virtual dj. Restarted, installed restarted again, same problem...

Im sp frustrated, coz it feels like i´ve tested it all.

But it wont work no matter what i do.

How do i uninstall programs if it isnt just moving them to the trash as i´ve done.

Or even better how do i fix this problem


Thanks in advance

Best regards from Carl Johannes Drakenberg

as i detailed in my email to you must not unzip the skins

and if they become unzipped in downloading you must zip them back up

or they wont work.


should after zipping the files back up it still wont run
delete this file /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.atomixproductions.virtualdj.plist

then rerun vdj it will ask for your serial ,

and then it will be fixed

you will not loose your database

Same problem here on my Windows side yesterday. "Internal Database Corrupted". Once I get my Nou 4 going I need to sort this also.

ok delete this

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.atomixproductions.virtualdj.plist
run vdj again and retype your serial hopefuly this should clear it up :)

lets try one last thing first

ok go to documents > virtual dj

and open up the file virtualdjdatabase(users).XML
in text edit.

and look near the end

ensure all the song tags are closed


they should look like this
<Song FileName="10 The Ultimate [Original Version].mp3" File Size="11993410" Tag Date="701160438">
<Display Author="KrisSy; Trixta" Title="The Ultimate [Original Version]" Tag Read="1" />
<Infos SongLength="16540416" />
<BPM Bpm="17640" Phase="2352" />
<FAME Is Scanned="1" Volume="8324" />
<Atomix Mix Type="3" Tempostat="1131312" Tempo End="15807792" Cut Start="1131616" CutEnd="16336704" Fade Start="1004544" FadeEnd="16356864" />
</Song>


Notice </song> at the end it is like that some songs near the end dont have this and have corrupted the sheet below them add this tag if it is missing

should this fail

download the free trial of Zap , the uninstaller for mac

and use it to remove virtual dj completely, unfortunately apple did not include an uninstaller in osx !

it should remove all the files for you so you may begin a fresh

That database contains nothing but the samples.

Just delete it, and start VDJ again, letting it build a new one.

Since you aren't loosing anything.

Unless you are opening the wrong XML file?
The PC version has two, where one is the one in use, called VirtualDJ Database(user name).xml

Dont have a mac (yet) so cant say for sure if its the same on the mac

Progress, progress..

I Zapped vdj (hahaha what an app, ill buy it because of the sounds :D) and the install files, loads of files where still there but i thought appzapper would do it...

so i let the remaining files be.

Reinstalled, started, serial, basic skin not ask me next time and then check for uppdates...


It waited a sec and then said database corupted as before, i got ready to slam my head into the table and pressed ok...

The computer looked at me for a second from the camera laying there on the table all depressed.... And then decided to be nice and started vdj without any problems :)


Now all i have to do is downloading the last uppdate again and see if it works...



Thx for telling my macbook whats right and whats wrong. My love for my mac is back again :D




Thank you very much for helping me out on this, you´re a good human being :D

Best regards from my mac and from me Carl Johannes Drakenberg
