Still trying to load all my music on, when Control:Mac froze.

Now when I try and add or edit anything in Control:Mac all the input fields are black. I've tried rebooting the MC200 and the TwinStore, but to no avail.

Any thoughts?

Reboot Mac. Uninstall and reinstall ControlMac. Worth a try.

This happened to me yesterday after upgrading to 10.7.4

I believe this means there is a bug and a revision of ControlMac is needed.

Just verified that Control:PC is fine.

Must be a bug in Control:Mac.

Swapping Macs doesn't help.

Booted mac on and off, deleted Control:Mac and reinstalled, and all seems well.

One thing that I have found is that I cannot move Control:Mac into a sub folder of Applications, which is slightly annoying.

I've just done a software update on my MBP. I'm getting the dreaded black edit boxes now on ControlMac.

I've tried reinstalling a few times. Deleted using AppCleaner/rebooted/reinstall. No joy.

Also tried doing a repair permissions. Again, no joy.

Any body else got past this successfully?

Cheers
Greg

Same here. Tried the obvious like reinstall.

I think it's a cosmetic issue only, possibly as a result of the Safari changes (Sooloos appears to use the same webkit api).

The data is there, just the background of the box is the same as the text. You can double click on a box and see the text when highlighted.

Reinstalling didn't fix it for me, and AFAIK it is related to the updated version of Safari (5.1.7), which probably means changes in WebKit. Just edited a track name and it works fine.

On my Macbook Pro, it went wrong before the safari update, there was an update before which screwed it up.

I am leaving my mac mini well alone until there is a fix.

OSX 10.7.4 looks like its a bit of a screw up. Its causing audio issues with plex as well.

Avoid for the moment, if I was you.

I'm starting to think it's deliberate, in honour of Steve Jobs...
