Hi, I want to use Clementine for Mac.
I tried it and it worked out well at first. I keep my audiofiles on an
external harddrive. Once I tried to play music, but the harddrive wasn't
connected. Eversince then I cannot play any music anymore. Even music from
the regular drive. It just won't start playing the song. I tried removing
Clementine and even followed guides on how to completely remove it
(including looking for remaining files in the Application Support
directory, etc. (there were none, though)) but whenever I install
Clementine again, it won't start playing the song. Please help, I'd really
like to use Clementine.
Are you comfortable using the terminal? If so, you can use the following
technique to find and remove all Clementine support files:
First: Stop Clementine, and uninstall it. Then
⌘<space> terminal # select it with the mouse to start the terminal
Each of the lines below that starts with a % is what you should type, NOT
including the % itself AND being sure to hit the <return> key at the end of
the line
% cd Library
% find . -iname '*clementine*'
Shown below is what my system shows when I use that command. Yours should
be similar
% find . -iname '*clementine*' # you type
./Application Support/Clementine # these lines are the response to
your command
./Application Support/Clementine/clementine.db
./Application Support/Clementine/clementine.db.bak
./Caches/org.clementine-player.clementine
./ Preferences/org.clementine-player.Clementine.plist
./Saved Application State/org.clementine-player.clementine.savedState
Now, remove each directory or file. The 'rm' command 'removes' files. The
-rf flags tell the command to 'r_ecursively look for files and folders
below the one specified' and 'f_orce' removal even if the files are
protected from accidental removal. The single quotes are required (you may
use double quotes if you prefer) if there are spaces in the path to the
file or directory that you want removed, and are optional otherwise.
% rm -rf 'Application Support/Clementine'
% rm -rf 'Caches/org.clementine-player.clementine'
% rm -rf 'Preferences/org.clementine-player.Clementine.plist'
% rm -rf 'Saved Application
State/org.clementine-player.clementine.savedState'
Now you can re-install Clementine with good hopes that it will work well.
good luck
