If you have problems with your disk, use Disk Utility on your Mac to test and repair it. An external device doesn't work properly, or your computer won't start up. Outlook for mac opens but cant press any buttons. “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again.
If you are experiencing problems with your MIDI Controller/DJ Hardware not connecting or behaving correctly, there are a few things you can check first which hopefully will ensure successful operation with Serato software. Often overlooked, but the first thing we recommend is testing with several different USB cables to connect your device. Also, certain USB ports on your computer can function better than others. It's good to experiment with ALL ports on your computer before moving on. Now try checking that it is being recognized. If your Operating System is recognizing your controller correctly, then it will more than likely work with your Serato software. For Windows: When you plug your controller in Windows should search for the drivers automatically (or it will ask your permission to). Some controllers require special software or drivers to run - these maybe on a disc that came with the controller.
If you do not have this go to the controller manufacturer's website and find it there. Sometimes Windows can install devices incorrectly.
This usually happens when the device is recognized as being something else, other than the expected name of the device. We can check what your computer is recognizing your controller as by going to the Device Manager. This is usually found in: Start > Control Panel > Device Manager ( Pictured above) Your MIDI controller should show up in either: - Universal Serial Bus Controllers OR - Sound, video and game controllers Most controllers will show up with the name of the manufacturer or the name of the controller. If you have identified the controller in either of these lists and it shows up as something else, right-click on it and select uninstall. Now unplug then re-plug the controller to your computer and let Windows search for the drivers again. If it installs the controller incorrectly again, or there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the device logo please start a and give the moderator a detailed description of your issue and setup.
For Mac: Some MIDI devices require mac drivers. If your MIDI controller is a class compliant MIDI device which doesn't require drivers you can check to see if it shows up here: Go to: Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Window > Show MIDI Studio (⌘2) Your MIDI device driver should show up as an icon as the example above shows. Sometimes even though this icon is shown in the MIDI Studio, it will not connect first time. Download tsk 4 for osx. You can disconnect your MIDI device and then with your device icon highlighted, select 'Remove Device'. After doing this reconnect the MIDI device and the driver icon for this device should reappear. Now check to see if your device has been recognized. If you have tried everything above but are still having problems then the next step is to check that your MIDI controller is communicating (sending/receiving) MIDI messages with your computer. This is the basic functionality of MIDI and if your controller is not communicating with your computer then it is not going to work.
