With new update, Machine 2.1.5 gets hung on one VST and unable to Launch Progra

I tried deleting my Machine 2 folder by holding Finder with alt button and then going into Application Support, Native Instruments, Machine 2. The video by Native Instruments support said on my next startup from my Mac would automatically do a reload and scan to “fix any VST scan hang-ons. It didn’t! The same exact “Predator PL” was stuck again and I could not do a startup. I have Rob Papen’s Predator 2 and 3. Both work just fine in Komplete Kontrol and in my Ableton and Cubase Daws. I don’t see a ‘Predator Pl” except in my Components folder. Don’t see one in VST or VST 3 pluggin folders. I tried deleting the “Predator Pl” component, and I still have the same problem. Interesting that when I did take out that file, my system didn’t ask me to put in my password to make a change. So, I know how to get my Machine 2 started by putting in a “-‘ intro the PlugSys so it doesn’t do a startup without a scan. I can load all the Machine add on Libraries and the Samples contained in them. I have been using Native Instruments products for at least 30 years. I know my way around the softwares, but I am stuck here. Native Instruments should take down the Instruction Video saying deleting the Machine 2 File inside of the hidden files in Native Instruments absolutely will fix any startup problems. I tried it twice and it just doesn’t work. I am a loyal musician who will share what I know and don’t know within the community. I know a lot of answers, just not the one since doing the update to Machine 2, 2.15 which has caused this problem. Again, my Komplete Kontrol is scanning and working perfectly. Look forward to someone’s help.

Yes. I followed N.I fix of deleting the Machine 2 file that can only be accessed by holding the alt and clicking on Finder which shows me The Machine 2, which I then have to delete, so the next time I try to start the program it will do a total database scan which opens up Machine 2, however, no access to my long list of pluggins. I can use only the N.I. Add on Libraries and all the sounds contained in them. Next time I try to launch the Machine 2, I get hung up at the exact same place of my pluggin scan with is “Predator Pl”.Fortunately, my Komplete Kontrol scan runs perfect. Is this what you referring to? Thank you for taking the time to look at my problem. I really appreciate that!

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I tried it and deleted it. Same problem, however? How about reloading Machine 2 in NATIVE ACCESS? It says Machine 2 is only a 315 MB. I have not tried that yet. I really appreciate your response. I am glad it fixed your problem and thank you for replying to mine.

I should add that “Predator Pl” is only showed as a Component. Not in VST or VST 3. The weird thing about this is my computer allows me to delete it without having to put in my password? Also weird is when I delete “Predator Pl” it still hangs on pluggin scan startup? ?????

Next question.

‘How do you get rid of IK Multimedia’s time out FX that I didn’t want in the first place. In order to scan my pluggins, I was asked during the scan….

Item Times Out

Continue or Buy

I needed to push Continue each of the at least 10 times this appeared during the scan. My Garage Band won’t open due to this. To be honest I really don’t like IK Mutimedia. Exception is Syntronik 2, however, the company is constantly bombarding me with adds and “Buy this, once we reach this amount you get…..”

I would love to get rid of the Item Timed Out. “Continue or Buy”!

Thank you for the people who wanted to help me on the hung up VST on my previous request. I guess if you want to know where anything is put a question in your question request at the top of your Mac desktop computer.

STILL NEED ANY INFORMATION ON STARTUPS ON MACHINE 2 & GARAGE BAND.

Looking to see what is going on and how to stop VST scans on startup of Machine 2 and GarageBand. I get the following which I keep getting repeated and repeated and repeated. The problem shows up as follows.

”CONTINUE OR BUY”

i need to select continue to do this only on the startup VST scan. Once I keep pushing, CONTINUE, after 10 or so times the repeated “CONTINUE” finally ends and Machine 2 is up and ready to go.

My other problem is the exact same thing for GarageBand, except it crashes on startup every time.I am unable to open GarageBand.

Interesting that my Ableton Live 11 Suite, Cubase 11 Pro, Reason 12 Suite and Komplete Kontrol don’t have any problems on startup. I mentioned some more additional information above this comment. Appreciate your help, all-ways!
