AlphaTheta Rekordbox software glitches

  • For macOS only

Trivia: remove FwUpdateManager altogether if not really needed

Removing the software entirely from the system will surely solve the issue.

You can install your own update software for AlphaTheta/Pioneer\ DJ devices individually without the firmware manager.

Zombie processes by FwUpdateManager

Massive number of <defunct> processes parented by the FwUpdateManagerd as follows:

loginuser 801 1 801 0 1 S ?? 0:06.30 /Applications/Pioneer/FwUpdateManager/FwDownloader.app/Contents/Resources/FwUpdateManagerd.app/Contents/MacOS/FwUpdateManagerd

The FwUpdateManagerd is under /Applications/Pioneer/FwUpdateManager/FwDownloader.app/

You need to kill the parent process to clear all the zombie processes.
