Native Access 3 Asking for Admin Password Every Startup on Mac

Kevin Pledger · 2023-03-03T20:26:39+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am running Mac OS 13.2.1 (22D68), with Native Access Version 3.2.0 (3757095 / 1.10.0.0). Every time I start NA, I am prompted to enter my admin password for my Mac (not the NA password). That never used to happen with NA 1 (I never installed 2, skipped right to 3). Why is this? It's not a big hassle, but it sure is an ANNOYANCE!!!!

@iNate The OP specified in the thread and title it was a Mac issue. So please check these articles:

Native Access Error: "Please grant permission to NTK Daemon to install dependencies"

Native Access Freezes on “Installing Dependencies“ at Startup

And if it still happens get in touch with our specialists here: http://bit.ly/NIsupport_install

Thanks for this. I thought I had solved the issue but it's returned this morning. I've given disk access to a few more NI products I rarely use, besides NTK Daemon, Native Access and some others, and issue has gone again. But given your comments I'm expecting it to return. Will post back again if issue does miraculously resolve.

Same issue here. It might help a bit if you set the NTKDemon Service to Automatic start instead of delayed start, but suddenly out of nowhere it may ask for login Data again.

Its a pity that you guys cant fix this Issue. I tried reinstalling on Windows 10 and also Windows 11, but nothing really helps. Who knows if this Error affects nothing else? I mean Native Access has some kind of copy protection for sure, so how do i know that everything is working as intended if even the installer doesnt work 100% ?

May i ask if some of you guys changed your Email recently? I did, and to my suprise in the registry i found the old one and not the one i used to login into Native Access. So mabye somehow this has also to do with the change of an email adress? Whatever, i changed my email back to the old one and also reinstalled windows 10 from scratch. Iam now using Native Acess 1 without any Issues. I didnt know you also can install Kontakt 7 with it and some new library, but actually you can. Wasnt this an restriction in the past? I will upgrade to NA2 once problems are fixed.

Adding NTKDaemon in the Login Items fixed the issue for me as Jeremy_NI was suggesting above. I have MacOS Ventura 13.6.1 and Native Access 3.7.0 was asking the password on each computer start. I had given "Full Disk Access" for the Native Access and NTKDaemon, but it was not enough.

Note: In Ventura, unlike in the picture below, the "Login Items" are no longer under "Users & Groups". Ventura has "Login Items" under "General".

I´m having the issue also (dec 1st) . Is an update coming soon, so we don't have to modify our privacy/security settings? No other app needs/asks such an access in my Mac. Thanks.

same here, it keeps asking me for my password, super frustrating to have to type it in every single time I need to use the app. Apple on Ventura M1 Max all disk permissions are selected properly. I wonder why this keeps happening. It's super inconvenient to look for my password every time I open this

I had this problem on my Mac. Downloading the latest NKTDaemon from this link and installing it fixed the problem.

Why NKTDaemon requires full disk access, etc on every boot? It's huge security issue and I prefer not to give access to everything to some possibly not secure daemon. Why that NKTDaemon can not just use files they are given permission to?
