The Application Location error is a purely cosmetic issue with Native Access 2 that should not effect performance / installation success.

If you wish to resolve the cosmetic behaviour, please carry out the following steps:

go to Macintosh HD > Applications
rename the "Native Instruments" folder to "_Native Instruments"
create a new folder and name it "Native Instruments"
now please move all the folders you have in "_Native Instruments" into the newly created "Native Instruments" folder
after everything has been moved and the "_Native Instruments" folder is empty, it can be deleted

Set a path to your right application and good is.

I dont know what you mean

What you have there is the default path, so... if your instruments work ok, then maybe it's just a visual bug inside Native Access?!

You could try these steps:

@Rich_NI Hi

I have the same issue and I did what you said but still I can't download anything from the app.

I have a MacBook m2pro and I use MacOS Sonoma.

What should I do?

UNREAL! I went through THREE Kontrol keyboards and now I see this, and it worked. This info should be EVERYWHERE, added to a printer flyer in every box, on every social, or…maybe FIX IT yourselves.

So basically this issue happened due to the ownership of the folder "/Applications/Native Instruments" belongs to root.

What you need to do is changing the ownership of this folder to your user with this command and restart Native Access (The answer above by Customer Care is actually doing the same thing):

sudo chown $USER /Applications/Native\ Instruments/
