When I try to create a new library I Get this
I cannot find the file shown in the screen shot and as stated before Iāve tried to delet all Audirvana files and re install a fresh copy. I get the same screen as shown in last post. The file mentioned does not exist.
It is here:
Apple hide the Home Folder in User Library at some time depending on OS Systemā¦
When you have clicked your Home Folder, and cannot see the Library Folder in there,
just do a āācmd Jāā to show the folder settings preferences and see at the bottomā¦
click Show Library Folder and then youāll have access to the rest forever.
Close Audirvana
Go to Userā¦ Home Folderā¦ Libraryā¦ Applications Supportā¦ Audirvana Folderā¦
Trash All the files in that folder (that is your database of music, back it up! or not) .
Did as you suggested no joy. I can get Audirvana + to work fine
Did it opens and ask for a library folder at start?
I forgot to write restart mac after deleting the databaseā¦
You can delete the database and in same library go the the preferences folder and delete the audirvana prefs then restart mac, then restart audirvana
Same result same message. Audirvana+ creates new libraries at will.
I did aii those things again now its aking for my regisration code I enter it and nothing happens
you want the totalā¦ here it is 
if this donāt work Houston, you have a problem with your filesā¦ try redoing it by selecting less folders to see what makes Audirvana not workingā¦ by the way, what Audirvana version are you using and what OS on macā¦
Big text, but fast doing itā¦
Start fresh Audirvana by deleting those filesā¦
If you have Playlists that are important export them first to desktop and save them in a folderā¦ when Audirvana is reset, you can re-import them back in one shot. sadly to this day, the folders they were in if so, are not back, you have to do them againā¦
Before doing this, maybe you should not connect after deleting those files to Roon, Tidal or othersā¦
Install Audirvana alone with your databaseā¦ if working, log to Roon or else after.

Starting for new Audirvana:
Close Audirvana
Go to the Main Library Folderā¦ PrivilegedHelperTools folderā¦ Trash All the files in that folder from Audirvana (that folder install SysOptimizer) Go to the Main Library Folderā¦ LaunchDaemons Folderā¦ Trash All the files in that folder from Audirvana (SystemOptimizer and prefs files) Go to Userā¦ Home Folderā¦ Libraryā¦ Applications Supportā¦ Audirvana Folderā¦ Trash All the files in that folder (that is your database of music, back it up! or not) Go to Userā¦ Home Folderā¦ Libraryā¦ Cookiesā¦ Trash com.audirvana.Audirvana-Plus.binarycookies Go to Userā¦ Home Folderā¦ Libraryā¦ Preferencesā¦ trash com.audirvana.Audirvana-Plus.plist and com.audirvana.Audirvana.plist in that folder (those are A+ software preferences) Go to Userā¦ Home Folderā¦ Libraryā¦ Cachesā¦ com.audirvana.Audirvana-Plus trash the files in that folder
Restart MAC.
This will reset pretty much Audirvana like new. You will need you serial number.
Open Audirvana, enter serial, choose a library folder at first it will sync in top middle of main windowā¦
LET IT GO, even better donāt try to adjust windows or edit files, even playing music while it is not finishedā¦ youāll see the progress bar goingā¦ Could be long the first time depending on how large your library is, and MAC is fast or notā¦ go to sleep if it is too long
Then when finished, shut down Audirvana, yes close it before playing a songā¦ That way you will have your database from stratch saved without crashing.
Then copy the .sqlite file to somewhere else as a backup, then open Audirvana, and try to play a song.

keep entering serial number and nothing happens
Joy, thank you for helping me get this thing going again, god knows what I did to screw it up. Thank you so much.
Hello @kissov, have you changed the location of your database? it seems to be at the root folder which is not accessible with write access. You may have a damaged preferences file.
To reset it, open the Terminal application, and enter the following two commands:
defaults delete com.audirvana.Audirvana-Plus
defaults delete com.audirvana.Audirvana
Please note youāll be asked for your license key when youāll relaunch Audirvana for the first time after this.
