Native Access stuck on "Starting" for every download.

Chartreuse · 2023-07-13T06:22:03+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Just as the title says. It never actually downloads/installs the library I want it to (have tried many), just says "Starting". It was working great for a few days then this happened. I re-installed it and re-started but the problem persists. What do I need to do to get it to work properly again? I'm on Mac Ventura 13.4.1.

I opened a ticket for exactly this problem 2 weeks ago. At least it is good to see I am not the only one with this problem.

The problem wasn't solved, but I received a few direct download links, as workaround. End of the day, the answer was that Sonoma wasn't officially supported yet, so no further support could be given.

Fingers crossed for a rapid NA update, and with support for Sonoma.

^^ There's 2 of us trying desperately to update Analog Dreams (not very dreamy right now).

My setup is Sonoma and NA 3.7 as well - and that "Full Disk Access" business hasn't solved anything.

I've submitted an official support ticket and NI are pretty good with these ... I'll make sure to post back here if and when I make progress with them.

good day

experiencing the same issue, updated the native instruments portal and have 2 updates to install for massive x and the free orchestra 2 - I have since restarted the Mac (apple M1 Pro, 32 gb memory OS Sonoma 14.0 - this is annoying as one assumes we will get past the 'starting...' phase but its not.

I got a reply from NI Support. Basically, at present, 14.0, Sonoma is not supported by NI and they are working to get it supported. I guess this often happens with a new OS so there's no point complaining. In the meantime they provided me with links to the plugins I was particularly wanting (Session Bassist in my case).

So the solution is to open a ticket with them and they will give you regular download links for whatever you specifically need. Session Bassist will do for me for now, it looks comprehensive enough to keep me busy for a good while.

Well, I guess it depends on product. I was stuck like you, use Sonoma on M1 Pro, granted full access to the daemon and Native Access, restarted my MacBook and the 2 products updated fine.

Same issue here. M1 MacBook Pro, 3.7.0 Native Access, refuses to download latest update to TRAKTOR PRO 3. Shows "queued" and "starting" forever. How absolutely frustrating that I cannot get the software update I need simply because I must use a buggy dedicated downloader.

Same page. Nothing downloads, just a full queue of updates stuck at "starting" or "Calculating time remaining".

Yeah hate to say it but it sounds like it's just gonna be a waiting game for a little while:/

@LordRanekith It's not to do with the chipset but with Sonoma, not yet officially supported and there is a few issues with Native Access, so please get in touch with my colleagues, mention which products you need to install and they should send you alternative links: http://bit.ly/NIsupport_install

@Jeremy_NI

This problem remains since mid-October.

Any updates on the progress please? I am asking because it has been taking a rather long time, and it does seem to affect several users.

Just downloaded another update for Native Access and it still doesn't work for me either.

Same problem for me.

Macbook Pro M1 Pro with Sonoma 14.1.1.

Native Access v. 3.7.0 (b128381 / 1.14.0.0)

I cannot update plugins, the process got stuck after starting with 'Starting....' or 'Calculate Time remaining' message.

Please Native Instruments, do something to fix this issue, thank you!

Today I bought my first piece of hardware, a Maschine MK3. Sat down to install the software and try it out and... nothing. Just Native Access sitting there with "starting" at the bottom, and nothing downloading.

€400 paperweight while I wait for support to mail me a link. Amazing out of the box experience. 10/10.

M1 Mac, Sonoma 14.1.1

Same problem here. Stuck on "Starting..." for infinity. I was excited to try Maschine Mikro MK3 and so far wasted hours of trying to get it set up. Please help!

Jeremy_NI

@mattc_nl I see my colleagues got back to you already.

@Ben v.K. My colleagues will get back to you soon.
