Hi guys, I got a bit of a baffler here, I am working with a producer friend, and I gave him some libraries to work with so that he could work at home. None of them are licensed libraries nor require k'd Kontakt, and he has 100% legit Kontakt install.

In the file browser, he goes to open something up (like FK-11 Roland Compu rhythm or whatever) (something I bought i believe), and he gets DEMO mode.... Have no idea why. Forgotten keys doesn't pay the draconian NI fee for a 3$ library.....

can anyone answer as to why this may happen or how to fix?

I do know (I wasn't there), that he DID try and add as Library first, and of course got the "No Library Found" message.... but how the heck could that bonk the sample set? Doesn't make any sense to me. He may have been online, but again, can't see that being a problem as he was running LEGIT Kontakt with either a LEGIT library or one that doesn't require any authorization etc....

Any suggestions? deleting some .xml file or whatnot? I just have never seen this, and not sure how it could happen...

thanks so much guys.

 

plomerus! once again on the spot! ..... i'm running to work right now, where would those .plists/.xml files reside on osx? (guess I could look when I get there)....

just makes no sense, ... he has LEGIT Kontakt, using LEGIT Kontakt instruments..., and falling into demo mode, so something must have gotten bonked somewhere..... I had him try and load it from file browser (as he should have in the first place, as they are not "Kontakt Library Tab" instruments....., same issue, ... but again, I was walking him through it over the phone..... am meeting him at studio and a bit will check it out..... maybe when he tried to add them as libraries it created a .plist or whatnot for no reason and that is causing the issue....

always appreciate your help and chiming in my friend!

 

thanks Plomerus, fortunately my friend followed my advice and just recently cloned his boot drive before any of this nonsense, so I am having him bring his backup today to the studio and will just copy those files over (which you kindly made it easy for me to find without diving around! ).... hopefully that will solve this wierd problem...

again, props for the help!

 

Hi there Guru
I'll not bother you with the same questions but, may be you can help me.
I've been reading this forum for 5 days trying to figure out my own issues and yes, it's here but I can't solve my problem.
Since 5 days ago I'm getting the classical issue related at Library disappear in Kontakt5 5.2, actually, I own those Libs. The start to gone when I Add a new lib. (do not remember which one)
May be you can PM me the .nkc, nkx or .nicnt for those libraries.
The list in case you get it is:
1-Best Service Accordions
2-Sample Modeling Mr. Sax T
3-Sample Modeling The Trumpet
4-Sample Modeling The Trombon
5-Sample Modeling The Sax Brother
6-Gospel Musicians Neo-Soul Suitcase Rodes
7-Spitfire percussion
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks a lot "Plomerus" for your replay but I already did what you post and does not works here
Actually, I've clean all my Service Center xml Folder, delete all main and user preferences, uninstall Kontakt, Maschine Kore, I've make all my files visible and trash all Kontact invisible stuff include caches, change the xml SNPID value... etc, etc.. fresh Kontakt 5 5.2 Installed and I get the same problem.
I'll try in another Mac with the same System and the same libraries and I'll post my results. In the same time I can wait for the Guru answer.
Thanks a lot again

Hello everyone.

I am new to the community. I am running PT12 and Kontakt 5 runs good standalone and on Logic but I want to use it on PT12. I know that there is no AXX but does the vst or component should load? Or am I just dreaming?



Any help would be appreciated.

 

Hello there
Kontakt 5.3.1 is asking for an old server in fact old mac pro in my local network (only Macs)
Warning is "The connection to the server failed. May be that the server does not exist or is currently unavailable......)
I don't know how to ckill that warning
It's crashing Pro Tools 10.3.10 OX 10.8.5

 

Does PT12 run any other AU's or VST's without a wrapper? nope, .... so I think your only solution here is Blue Cat's PatchWork... or something like VEP unfortunately!

 

Yeap, that’s what I had to do!!!!

 

cool, everything work out ok?

 

Great!!!!!

 

My old seagate ext disk started the squeak & click sound: everyone knows that this is the beginning of the end for an HDD. So, I copied all my kontakt libraries in a new hdd

Now as I changed the root folder, in kontakt all library disappeared: I have the left column empty: no more wallpapers, nothing.
Question: Is there a method to batch/reload all libraries? (other that load one by one)

 

hmmm recycle.... I have clones of my sample drive that I have at 2 different studios, I have never had a problem with losing libraries, have you opened in standalone mode and told it where the libraries are etc?

 

Hey guys, having a problem with my K'd Kontakt (5.6) on Mac. I have a pirated EW Symphonic Orchestra Library and though it loads fine into Kontakt, when I reopen Kontakt it's gone, which means whenever I have a project that I reopen all the samples go into Demo mode and the Library is removed from Kontakt, so I have to go through each and every track and re-add the sample. To get around this I copied an ninct and edited it (as you do) and lo and behold Kontakt remembers the library and it stays stored after a restart of the application... The only downside is I can't load any samples with Kontakt saying "This patch cannot be loaded, Make sure the original library is properly activated". Does any one have any ideas as to how I can solve the issue with this library?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Hi everyone,

I'm going mad with one of my libraries dissapearing each time I reopen Kontakt. I'm using a k'd version of both. All the other libraries work fine, but this one dissapears every time. The XML file is created and the .nicnt file is there too. Any ideas? Kontakt is version 5.6, and I have deleted and installed the latest version of Service Center directly from NI.

Mac OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan).

Thanks!

 

Just an update. I deleted Kontakt in its entirety, and reinstalled an older version, and it works now. The version that works is 5.4.1.

 

May I ask which Library it was?

 

I would recommend 5.5.1 or 5.5.2 depending on what os you are on... they work fine and are pre-Native Access bullshit...

 

So far, I haven't had any problems with 5.6, either standalone or as a plug (knock on wood), but I have bookmarked this topic for future reference.

Interesting problem: I usually re-save all my libraries and collections after an update. I have a couple of older non-.ninct libraries (DIVA Revamped, Epic Drums 1 and most recently, Audia Imperia Dark Dimensions Vol. 1) that refused to be re-saved, usually with an error message saying that my present version of Kontakt was unable to save it. The patches all loaded up and played fine. This has only happened since v5. I finally ran each library's folder through Permissions Reset and the problem was solved; I was able to re-save the libraries with no problem.

 

If I remember correctly I was originally on 5.5.1 and this problem still existed with this particular EastWest library.
