    Macintosh HD/Users/username/Documents/Native Instruments/User Content/Kontakt/

    Remember there is no actual 'Snapshots' folder. The folders located at the path above should simply be named after their respective libraries.

    I'm on PC but as an example, all my snapshots for my Spectrum library are located at
    C:\Users\username\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt\Spectrum

    EDIT - If you use Maschine or Komplete Kontrol adding this path as a User Library location allows you to pull up your Snapshots as presets on those devices.

    Clint try this: make some tweaks to the instrument and click in the drive symbol left to PURGE,a window appear and prompt to rename the instrument and the location to save it. Then move all the snapshots to this location and ready.

    Player libraries snapshots normally located in the Root of Library folder itself i.e
    C:\Kontakt libraries\Evolution Dracus\Library\Snapshots\Evolution Dracus etc, etc
    varies with naming or your folder structure itself.
    Therefore look in Data folder or locate Snapshots however it named etc ect
    Non Player Libraries snapshots kept in
    C:\Users\username\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt\NKI name\
    also remember your user snapshots different to library etc
    Have u batch resaved or something? Are u just getting no snapshot loaded etc?
