yeah so i bought the mk2 console with the traktor 3 software.

i installed traktor and then went to install the console disk and its telling me "this software cannot be installed on this computer."

i know my computer is capable of it i have a mac notebook and i have enough free space on my drives so i dont get why it wont install.

i also tried downloading the software assuming the disk was dud but the same message comes up so what do i do?

thanks guys!

Hi,

I Am not a Mac specialist (mixing with a 4 years old XP PC laptop), but here are few things to be checked
- type of your platform: PPC or intel vs the type of your driver binary (PPC compatible, Intel Compatible, Universal Binary compatible with both)
- O/S release: Driver architecture & API may change frome one Mac OS release to another

Indeed, you need the correct version of MAC OS X in order to install the drivers, in this case either 10.4.x (Tiger) or 10.5.x (Leopard).

If your are not sure what version you have go to Apple menu > About this Mac

To install the console itself, I would suggest downloading the latest driver, version 5.18, from the support site:

To be sure your console is installed correctly, look at this document:

If everything checks out OK, then move on to Traktor LE.

Considering that your DJ Console was installed correctly, you should be able to configure Traktor as indicated in this document:

Also, once you register Traktor LE, there will surely be an update available , so be sure to install that too.
