Traktor Pro 2 Uninstaller Issue

Hey guys,

I need some of your DJTT Traktor wisdom power to help me out. :stuck_out_tongue:

I recently sold my S4 and unregistered the software. After that I uninstalled it from my MBP. I then installed Traktor LE which came with my X1, in order to upgrade to TP2 and keep on going.

Now this is where the issue comes. When I opened Service Center after reinstalling it didnā€™t update itself, and it was still showing that I have the S4, TP2 and TLE installed, when actually I only have the LE installed? I tried to see whats up and get it updated but no luck for me. So I emailed NI and they replied saying that I need to completely remove Traktor from my MBP and reinstall from fresh.

The thing is I donā€™t want to do this as I donā€™t want to lose all of my hard word beatgridding my tracks. Is there a way to reinstall, get everything updated (Service Center) and keep my beatgrids and settings?

If I completely remove Traktor and reinstall again I will lose everything right? What can I do to avoid this? Thanks in advance guys! :slight_smile:

i would say to back up your traktor folder, and use a appcleaner to wipe the program clean, install LE run service center and register.

You can try to reinstall service center.

I canā€™t find it in NIā€™s site so Iā€™m attaching their app (Mac only). It should do the job. Like JesC recommended, backup your NI folder located by default in User/Documents/Native Instruments/Traktor 2.0.X

Alternatively, you can try this http://www.native-instruments.com/knowledge/questions/456/Uninstalling+NATIVE+INSTRUMENTS+Software+in+Mac+OS+X

The locations that refer to Traktor are:

  • Macintosh HD/Applications/PRODUCTNAME folder
  • Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/com.native-instruments.PRODUCTNAME.plist
  • Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/PRODUCTNAME
  • Macintosh HD/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/com.native-instruments.PRODUCTNAME.plist
  • Macintosh HD/Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/PRODUCTNAME

The other affect their producer line.

EDIT: the app doesnā€™t work with Traktor, but iā€™m keeping it here in case anyone needs to remove Service Center, a Synth/Sampler, drivers, etc.

^this!

its important to get familiar with your OS.
No need for any 3rd party ā€œapp cleanerā€ when you know how to properly maintain your computer! :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for your help guys, youā€™re all awesome! :slight_smile:

So everythingā€™s sorted out and in tip top shape now. I backed up my NI folder, used the uninstaller followed some of NI suggestions and reinstalled TP2.

Now all is good and in order. Thanks once again guys, I knew I could count on my fellow DJTT buddies! :wink:
