Any way you can give an updated code to work on the new OS.. sorry but i'm a Mac newb so i have no clue how to adjust the code to work on my OS. thanks in advance!

If you are in full screen mode and leave that space, you will get a black screen. Its a known bug. I use spaces during my sets all the time, I just stretch trakor to its maximum size, rather than using full screen mode. Maximize Traktor but don’t do into full screen mode.

This is fairly common with the 13″ macbooks, but a replacement battery is easy to obtain for around $50.  To be  fair, this was somewhat my own fault. To be even more frugal I use the same laptop for everyday use and djing, which may not be the most prudent thing to do. If you cant afford separate laptops, make sure to turn off any interfering programs before djing. There is a nice DJTT guide to doing this automatically here.

Thanks for the tips. Also switch off "Spaces"! I was running Traktor in fullscreen and wanted to load a track in deck B by pressing CTRL + Cursor right. Spaces switched to my second desktop. When going back to my first desktop again, Traktor stayed with a black screen, not reacting to any keyboard shortcut. I had to restart Traktor and my set. System: Mac OS X 10.6.4, Traktor 1.2.6 Really nice article! Thanks for the tips.
