Major Fail!
This was not the first time he’s been caught with his pants down! 
Major Fail!
There’s an APP for that!..
that really makes me think about selling this desktop beast and getting a backup laptop.
redundency is so important.
we even have a thread about it
Trueth. I think the most redundant thing I have are my cables
Just saying rolling with a bootable external harddrive is never a bad idea though it has its obviously limitations with bandwidth.
Word. I cant belive someone thats gets paid ALOOOOOT of money dosnt have a back up laptop. U SIR FAIL!.. fuck even i have a backup laptop or two just in case. Fucking amateur your doing it wrong.
Can we link this thread to “When is a DJ actually considered a “DJ””??? please please please please.
the more famous you are, the more are mistakes like that legit…
“its the pc’s fault not his, he is an artist!”
he is supposed to be a “pro artist”, pro have backup plans.
Dude! In all fairness he’s just a kid, and probably never in a million years thought his mac could crash this bad.
his mac crashed? bs more like someone spill a drink on it or he was so drunk he tought it was a Frisbee
I can’t believe that someone who makes music, primarily his type of music which is all done electronically doesn’t think to have anything as a backup.
Bring your own cd and stick it into the cdj for christ sake.
Go into the crowd and ask who has ‘your’ cd and throw it in there…something atleast.
no one who owns a mac thinks itll crash
Not really a full blown crash, but I had to reboot my iMac today.
truth = 1
delusional mac fanboys = 0
I wonder what the issue was that it took guys from an Apple store to try and get it fixed..?
Also, what the hell time was it. I dunno any Apple stores open that late or is the article getting a few facts skewed?
According to his Twitter the laptop could not “find the hard drive” and he has rescued his Ableton sets.
Anyhoo, not having a back up is unforgivable. He should probably have another laptop with a mirror of his set on it or a bootable HD.
I know i have. Maybe its not always with me but if im in my home town its only a 15 min drive to get it and if im out of town ill have it or CDs.
Maybe, he cant DJ without Ableton? Anyone know if he can DJ with cds?
Lacie Rugged… Saved my life twice. O.o
Amen… when my MBP logic board went tits up i had to bust out my old iBook.
My backup on the LaCie rugged was my saviour for 2 weeks. Solid piece.
which is probably why it didnt get fixed. apple geniuses dont fix anything, ever.
they just go “oh hey, its broken! let me get another one for you from the back!”
all it takes to be an apple tech apparently is the skillset of a stockboy. if clicking next 3 times in techtool wont fix it, then its off to the stockroom!
