DJ controller not connecting to Mac? - How to fix the common driver issue!
Музыка
A recent update to Mac OS X included improved security surrounding driver installation. If rushed, you may miss this crucial step when installing your DJ hardware, meaning loss of audio and sometimes no connection at all. Crossfader's resident geek DJ Holland breaks down the steps you need to look out for when installing your hardware to ensure a perfect connection every time!

Thank you! This worked perfectly, and your descriptions were much more helpful than the other support articles we'd found!
wow. i've been trying to fix this problem for days without success, and then got it done in 30 seconds after watching your vid. thanks so much.
This video saved the night! Didn't get that message, but when I went into security it was there, as soon as I allowed it sound came through! Thanks!!!
Thank you so much! This vid solved the issue I’ve been trying to fix for 2 weeks! Thank you
Video saved us from a couple hours of confusion!! Thanks guys!
Thank you so much - a lifesaver. I just bought a new mac and cloned everything however the security permissions didn't copy across. Fixed the issue I was having of XDJ-XZ not showing up at all in OBS or Audio Midi Setup.
WOW!!!!!! Out of all the youtube videos I've watched for a remedy - THIS IS IT!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Been messing around for two week over this trouble, Man > Thanks buddy
Nuff respect for this I been around my laptop the whole day trying to figure it out and till I saw your video thank again bro

Thank you! This saved both me and my computer
thank you so much for posting this video.. I also had to search a lot to find out that the driver was missing and then come to the fact that you need to push allow in the settings button what a drag.. thank you
Thank you so much..its really helps for me in Mac
It was a little bit different with my setup, but thanks for steering me to the security settings. That did the job.
Bro, I got that new DDJ 1000srt and tried everything to get it to work but...not until I came across this KZread vid did the problem get solved!!! Thank you so much you are the truth!

How do you uninstall. Just bought this controller. Not sure if it uninstalled
Worked for me, Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for your tips....sorted now!
Bro I think you just saved me!! I literally have a gig tomorrow
Thanks mate, I was about to throw this XDJ-XZ in the trash & plug my DDJ-SZ2 back up. At least the same Power cord from the SZ2 work with the XDJ-XZ so now I have a new spare. Cheers.
i downloaded the audio drivers for the ddj 1000srt.....when i went into system preferences in my Mac and checked the sound option....the audio drivers are nowhere to be found....am i missing something?
I have a ddj-sx and running serato in the newest macOS catalina update, and i've tried this step and so many other steps and I don't know what to do. I get the same error message! "Error. Failed to connect audio!!" As for the ddj-sx there's no drivers needed to run it on the mac but even if there was when i check my MIDI Drivers folder in the audio folder it's empty. So im assuming that's where the problem comes from. It's been about a month now and still haven't found a solution.
how do you uninstall the driver???

Same question.......Macbook pro audio driver installation failed..
I got the mixtrack pro 3, and it used to work no problem. Now when I plug it into my MacBook Pro. It lights up, but it doesn't control Serato pro, it not recognizing the controller I guess because it only responds to the trackpad
Hallelujah!!!! You saved me!!!! Thank you!!!
Can I enable a disable software? Because for error I agree ad install with the bug and I can't repair
I was losing my goddamn mind, thank you very much, Roland and Serato need to add this in the manuals
Ahh, super helpful, thank you!
how do you get the pop up bcuz i followed all your steps and its still not working
Thank you so much, what a blessing. Peace to you and Wealth to your business.
I appreciate your help so much I have the Pioneer DDj-SR2 after 3 day watching your KZread Channel stopped me from returning it to AMS saved by the bell keep posting video im out of Connecticut D.j.Mr.Cee...

Thank you so much brother!
You're a great guy!
Man! Thank you!!!!!!! I was losing my damn mind!
@crossfader Please HELP if you can. I just received the Pioneer DDJ-1000SRT and was having this problem so I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it, but it didn't give me the prompt the second time. I went into Security & Privacy and manually granted permission. Serato DJ Pro finally recognized my controller but nothing much is functioning other than deck 1. None of the channel level indicators are lighting up though they light up when I turn on the controller, so I know they "work" and the crossfader won't do anything. I'm also not getting audio from the headphones. I've done all the "common sense" stuff like setting up the crossfader assign switches and everything up top is set to USB A. I feel like this is still possibly related to the issue mentioned in this video but I've uninstalled/reinstalled the driver multiple times and it won't give me the pop-up anymore. Please help. I'm desperate here and don't want to end up with an expensive paperweight.
could someone help me? i have the xdj rr and does not conect the audio from my mac , anybody has the drivers for os x capitan for the xdj rr? cause in the official page could not find it, thanks
please guys i need urgent help. i updated my macbook pro and my serato Dj-202 sound work. please i need help
Will this fix connection to a Native Instruments Audio8DJ ???
Thanks for this video! This happened to me when I first tried to connect to the DJM-900. However, even after I pressed "Allow", it still gave me the error on Serato. To fix this, I uninstalled the driver, and before installing again, I selected "click the lock to make changes". This way the additional options aren't greyed out, and you can click "Allow" or "Always Allow" from there. I thought this was a one time thing, but the same happened again when I connected to an SZ. It didn't connect after pressing "Allow", so I repeated the steps above. Don't know why this is.

* If you want to use the driver software on a Mac with an M1 chip, you need to change security settings on your Mac by following the steps below. Follow the instructions below to change [the level of security used on your startup disk]. 1) Close your Mac. Choose [Apple menu] > [Shut Down]. 2) Press and hold the power button until you see [Loading startup options]. 3) Click [Options], then click [Continue]. If requested, enter the password for an administrator account. Your Mac opens in Recovery mode. 4) Choose [Utilities] > [Startup Security Utility] on the menu bar. 5) Select the startup disk you want to use to set the security policy. If the disk is encrypted with FileVault, click [Unlock], enter the password, then click [Unlock]. 6) Click [Security Policy]. 7) Set the security policy. Click [Reduced Security]. Select the [Allow user management of Kernel extensions from identified developers] checkbox. 8) Click [OK] If requested, enter your administrator username and password. 9) Restart your Mac for the changes to take effect. Choose [Apple menu] > [Restart].

Hey man . How
I JUST GOT A REV 1 AND I HAVE A EARLY 2011 10.13 MAC BOOK ITS NOT WORKING PLEASE HELP
That's not my problem. The driver is installed properly and is recognized in other user's folders, but for my user login, it isn't -- the software recognizes when it's connected and not, but the controller is just never activated when plugged in. If I login as another user and run the software, it works fine. I've tried re-installing the Rekordbox several times even deleing the Library plists etc. each time but to no avail. It's clearly some user setting or corrupted system file or something, but I can't find anything to change.
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the video im going nuts I am getting exactly what you're talking about except I'm not getting the pop-up I have a 2019 MacBook Pro with an Intel core processor, not the M1 chip I just deleted the driver and I'm reinstalling it and going to connect to the controller is there any other way to get to that security setting because when I reinstall the driver I did not get that pop-up.

I just installed the driver on to my MacOS Ventura and that pop up didn't appear for me. It followed the normal process of going through the license and terms etc but the pop up never appeared. It said installation successful, so I'm guessing in the last 2 years that was fixed?
