Maschine MK3 Play Button in Ableton and Plugin Issues in Standalone

benjammin33

First off I want to say that I used to have the Maschine MK3 and had no issues, but I was running it on my Windows PC. I purchased a MacBook because my Windows PC would have issues with processing, so I thought okay I will get a nice updated MacBook for all of my music stuff. I don't know if the issue is with my configuration, hardware, or software related. I loved my Maschine MK3 as it didn't have many issues. I had to sell it when I moved. A few years has passed, and here I am with a Maschine MK3 again.

All of my folders and files are in the correct locations in the drive. I will provide screenshots here. My issue is that when I use Maschine 3 Standalone, I can use the play button but a lot of the plugins don't work so the groups aren't always complete. When I run Maschine 3 as a VST in Ableton 12, I can't use the play button at all. It wasn't like this in the past from what I remember. I was able to use it in the same manner as how it works in Standalone. I would be happy with a work around in either Maschine 3 as a VST or Standalone. I am at a loss on what to do, and am frustrated that I can't simply play and enjoy my Maschine MK3 for the purpose that I bought it for. Instead, it has become a piece of equipment where I only troubleshoot when I turn it on. Will someone please help me to solve this? I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe I am simply overlooking something.

I have a few questions, and I'm not the only one with this issue. When I load some of the groups specifically the "Goldy" group from the Aquarius set, I am getting this missing plug-in message. What is wrong with this? I have Reaktor, and it loads up in Ableton perfectly. Also, what do I need to do for the play button to work in Maschine 3 when I have it loaded up in Ableton? I don't get the plug-in missing error when I run Maschine 3 in Ableton, but when I run Maschine 3 standalone I get these missing plug-in errors. 

The second problem I have is when I run Maschine 3 in Ableton, the play button doesn't work. If I can find a permanent solution to this play button issue that would be great as I can start to focus on making music with my Maschine MK3 instead of spending all of my time troubleshooting. 
Please reply and help me to find a solution to these issues. Most of the plugins are working now in Maschine 3 so I'm not sure why there were errors in the beginning because I didn't really do anything special.
