  1. I used Fuzzys App Cleaner to fix this issue just so ya know
  2. Mac OSX Security crap is the real issue
  3. 1.7.9 is a bad build and needs FIXED IMO, it aint gonna happen though
  4. 1.7.8 works fine. 1.7.9 works fine UNTIL you try to uninstall it then install 1.7.8 which is what I did here as 1.7.9 was giving me audio glitches.
  5. The Steinberg Uninstaller is NOT uninstalling all the security settings so when you re install 1.7.8 it doesnt ask if you want to allow it so it wont work.

SEQUENCE:

  1. Run the Steinberg Uninstaller App and UNINSTALL the FW driver, MR Console and Extension apps,
  2. Run App Cleaner from Nektony and make SURE to look for anything Yamaha, FW, Steinberg, MR etc and trash those.
  3. Trash any and all MR Console Prefs in USER/Library/Prefs. EVERYTHING should be UNINSTALLED at this point. Continue to next steps

****TRY THIS: Disable SIP in the Terminal to get around this then Enable SIP after you install 1.7.8. and the SECURITY pop up windows shows up and asks you to ALLOW Yamaha.

  1. Reboot your Mac into Recovery Mode by restarting your computer and holding down Command + R until the Apple logo appears on your screen.
  2. Click Utilities > Terminal.
  3. In the Terminal window, type in csrutil disable and press Enter .
  4. Restart your Mac.
  5. Run the 1.7.8 Installer and reboot your Mac
  6. Reboot AGAIN using the same process numbers 1 and 2. This time in Terminal type:
    csrutil enable. Enter, reboot Mac. Those pesky security windows should pop up asking for permission. Click ALLOW when you see one that says YAMAHA

NOTE: Those windows may not pop up as soon as you boot up but they will
