Can't get my 4trak to work with my MacBook

I have a 2013 Apple MacBook and a mint condition Numark 4trak. Have been Doing with it for years. Love it, no issues. My MacBook was using Yosemite operating system. I only use the laptop to DJ with so there was no need to ever update the operating system. I made a playlist years ago for my iPhone. For Christmas I got a new iPhone 16 and decided I wanted new music on my phone from my DJ library (if I would have known now what would happened I would have just left it alone). So when I tried to sync my new iPhone with my MacBook it said I needed a more current operating system. It said Catalina OS would work. I was able to load some new jams on my phone. Then I was checking my laptop to make sure everything else works fine.Then i realized mt traktor was not working. So I tried updating my traktor which requires me to use 14 or higher OS. But I looked up my laptop info, on a 2013 MacBook the highest I can go is 13 OS. I'm freaking out. I need this laptop it is a workhorse and never had any issues for over 12 years. And the 2013 MacBook is the one ALL DJ'swant. I love my 4trak it is an awesome mixer. Please help me figure out how to get these two devices to live happily together like they have foe years… I turned down 2 gigs last weekend and have a chance to spin tomorrow night if fixed…. I contacted Numark first and they said its a software issue and contact NI…. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Your hardware is likely 32 bit and latest macOS that supports 32bit apps it is Mojave. I believe that you can install up to TP 3.8 on 32 bit OS.

Hello,
what traktor version do you use? You can see here what version is compatible with your os, and even download links are in there if needed. I also don't really understand the problem to be honest, is traktor not starting or the numark 4trak making problems.

The numark is only supported up to Mac os 10.12 as you can see on the website. So it's not a traktor issue, it's a numark issue, they don't provide newer drivers. Maybe you can go back to your older os version, I'm not a mac user myself but that should be possible.
Good luck the numark is a really nice controller, hope you get it back to work.

What mac is version are you now using? 13?
One thing to keep in mind: I think 4trak is one of those hybrid controllers that is currently broken in tp4, should be fixed in an upcoming patch.
