force safe mode?
« on: July 04, 2020, 12:03:58 pm »

Hi –

Is there a way to force a launch of safe mode? MC keeps on hanging when I launch it but the Activity Monitor shows it doing pretty much nothing. Marginal CPU use.

Thanks.

Is it trying to access a resource that's not available, like a NAS?

If nothing else works you could remove the library so it has to start over.
Note that you will be starting with an empty library.
If you have a backup you can restore from that. You will have to reenter your license.

Do Go->Utilities->Terminal
then at the prompt (without MC running)
Code: [Select]
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/J\ River/Media\ Center\ 26 ~/Library/Application\ Support/J\ River/Media\ Center\ 26.bakThen restart MC.
