Problem seeing existing libraries on MacOS 15.3.1 Sequoia with Access + Kontakt7

marston660

Kontakt 7 is not seeing my existing libraries on my external RAID. There is a giant compilation- like 7 TB - of many years using NI software & instruments. Has anybody updated to MacOS 15.5 (current latest version) with good results ?

OR had problems with Native Access 2 not seeing your existing libraries. Any tweaks, tricks, etc or feedback would be appreciated.

I've tried a bunch of things, but no success yet.

@marston660 I believe there can be issues with RAID drives and Kontakt. Please get in touch with our support if needed: https://bit.ly/NI_Support_All

Basic things to check are these :

ALL NI apps including NTKDaemon and DAW must have full disk access. : How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

and disks must be of correct format : Notes on Network Drives and Disk Formats

And quote Kymeia : if using Sequoia then N.I. apps must be added to the Local Network

Also then do not use Clean My Mac.

Be sure that you are using latest version of Native Access for your OS as well as latest version of kontakt 7

Thanks PoorFellow. Thanks for your input. I have some of the apps on the Local Network, but haven't figured out how to get the other ones on there. I might need to reformat my RAID, maybe that would help. I've been using SoftRaid for quite a while, which I believe has finally come to support APFS.If that's the issue, it kind of sucks, since all my other software is fine with the current setup, although that did occur to me, so thanks for the the links.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Alas then I couldn't say for sure , but these things can result in all sorts of problems so they are part of the Mac 'checklist' . Maybe @Jeremy_NI could do a quick evaluation and give his opinion ?

Thanks again for your suggestions.

You are very welcome 🙂

Thanks. I got a few more items on the local network and things seems to be better. I installed a couple small instruments from NI, and those are working fine, but also do a fresh backup of the RAID tonite and then I might just erase it… and start fresh. I don't have anything I have to do this week, so I might just wipe the RAID and install the stuff I really need, and see how it does, especially with some of that Spitfire stuff. I should really just get another NVMe or two - we'll see.

Thanks for your help
