After no solution via support: has someone the "installing dependencies" problem in v340 in NA2?

Hi there,

after an update to the newer interface and contacting the support with no solution: has someone experienced the issue, that after restarting MacOS and starting Native Access 3.4.0. it always wants Admin credentials to install "dependencies". I did all the support suggested me to do.

I once had this exact same problem a few months ago (had still that old logo on it). And all I remember is, that the support gave me a newer beta and then it was gone.

I also looked for a newer version, but it is only still 3.4.0

Also, before downloading I cannot see the exact version, now I have downloaded this same version 5 times...

Perhaps someone at NI or someone with deeper knowledge of MacOS together with NA has an idea, why this happens over and over again?

Same here. I have to enter admin password every time I start Native Access. Is there any solution?

And is that real problem? You just click when you run NA2....

I had it on Win for a year or so over multiple versions.... 3.4 is the first, that does not need to ask to install, or does not install... On Win.

Yes, I have deleted that new Version 2 and installed Version 1 with the old interface. And it uses only half of the disk space.

Yes, on MacOS it's annoying, because you have to put in the Admin-Password by hand. And the thing is, there was also one version of the old NA, which had the exact same problem and after downloading a patched beta, it ran (handed out to me by support). If noone doesn't report such bugs, they don't patch it.

But for me it is ok now, because I downloaded an old version. I don't need that fancy stuff, just wanna watch out for any updates.

A probable fix: make sure NTKDaemon is starting at OS boot. I can't say 100% for certain how to do this since I deliberately disabled it (I have my own ways around the 'install with password each time' issue, which probably won't work for most people, and I want to reduce the number of unnecessary processes running at all times), but I think this is how I had it set up before: Open settings to Login Items ('Cmd-space' and type login, select 'LoginItems' or open Settings and search), click '+' under 'Open at login' and browse to NTKDaemon (mine is at '/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/NTK/NTKDaemon.app/Contents/MacOS/NTKDaemon') and add it to the list of login items.

On some systems it seems the installation of Native Access doesn't correctly register the daemon as a login item, which causes this problem. NA isn't able to detect that it is already installed and reinstalls it (once again failing to register it as a login item). I recall someone from NI said they're working on this.

You could also downgrade to NA1, but I would not count on that long term, nor on whether it will install all newer products. NA2 works well for most people most of the time.

The fact, that all bigger Vendors tend to run processes at startup also bothers me. E.g. Adobe CC starts 5 Processes, even if I don't use the software. Should be started, when I run an Application.

I have installed the last version of NA1 and it is looking out for updates, but doesn't find one, so it stays (for now). And it works fine.

Hello! Do you solve this problem now? I met the same problem yesterday so I turned to NA1, but I found that NA1 cannot install Ozone 10 Standard. Only NA2 can install Ozone 10.

Yes the problems are gone, after the appropriate updates have been made. So Sonoma works. Let's wait to upgrade to Sequoia now. I hope, there will be working solutions for Sequoia soon, too. But for now I will stay at Sonoma.
