Nope it didn’t help, i think it happens to seldom for a screen recording to make it clear why it happens…

Hi @Johan_Rosenberg1,

  1. Are you running any other applications in the background like a TimeMachine backup, iCloud backup, virus scan or something ?
  2. The next time you notice this, can you please capture a Sample Process using Activity Monitor on your Mac while the issue is occurring?
    a. Please make sure that you collect the Sample Process while the issue is occurring.
    b. Open Activity Monitor: Locate and open Activity Monitor on your Mac. Usually found in the Utilities folder within your Applications folder.
    c. Select CPU: In Activity Monitor, ensure the CPU tab at the top is selected.
    d. Choose djay Pro: Scroll down and locate the djay Pro App process in the CPU list.
    e. Sample Process: Click the gear icon (Actions) in the Activity Monitor toolbar and select “Sample Process”.
    f. Save the report: After sampling, save the generated report for submission and further analysis.
    g. Upload the report: Upload the report to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the file here.

Thanks!

Hi @Johan_Rosenberg1, you could try the following process to reset the iCloud state:

  1. Quit djay.
  2. Make sure you have a backup of your djay Media Library.djayMediaLibrary file on an external drive or in the cloud.
  3. If you have previously disabled iCloud for djay Pro in System settings, please make sure it is re-enabled for djay Pro. https://help.algoriddim.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014702832-How-do-I-enable-iCloud-syncing-on-iOS-and-macOS
  4. Open the app Terminal.app
  5. Run this command: defaults write com.algoriddim.djay-iphone-free CMCResetCloudKitState -bool true
  6. Launch djay

This will reset the cloudkit state and should clear up the issue. After this, it’s recommended that you leave iCloud sync for djay enabled to prevent caching of Cloudkit and the growth of the djay Media Library.

Hello! It’s been a week since my last reply. I’m going to consider this topic completed for now so I can focus on others. However, please feel free to respond and we can definitely revisit this. Thanks!
