"/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext"
Hello, I have this; "/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext" How can I fix it from Terminal?
Thank you!
Do you see the file in the location indicated?
Do you have a backup of your hard drive and can you find the component on it?
Sometimes running a Snow Leopard updater may install the component if it has been updated since the original version of Snow Leopard. In the end you may need to reinstall your operating system using your Snow Leopard installer disc. Alternatively you can extract individual components from an installer disc using the Pacifist utility.
Kappy: How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components - http://discussions.apple.com/message/9044169 and another https://discussions.apple.com/message/17864069
Before doing any of this I would boot from your installer disc and run Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Components should not just go missing and this may indicate more serious issues with your files.

I have just updated my Dymo Label Program. It installed just fine, then the above statement appears stating that this extension was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. I don't know what it is from nor who the vendor might be. The label program installed fine, but it will not print, and I keep getting a statement that my printer is off line. I get it back on line and it goes off line each time I try to print. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
It's a component of an obsolete third-party system modification called "Spin Doctor." Follow the developer's instructions to remove it. If you can't find those instructions, see below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

Hopefully, i can get some help in resloving the issue below. i updated my harddrive at Techserve and have been getting this message evertime i try to install a new software. Help...
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.That is a third-party extension, so I would reinstall that software unless you wish to try repairing the permissions on the extension yourself using the Terminal.

Error message: /System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext
All of a sudden I keep getting this error message:
The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -

System/library/extension/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext
Hi MacFam;
every time i update any of my many music software like Reason/Record/Recycle from Propellerhead or Cubase to even my itunes i get a message that say there is an error in the system/library/extension/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext file, but whatever it is that im updating, the software runs just fine, no problem that i have notice. this is starting to annoy me and i would like to know how can i fix this annoying problem thanks to all for the future helpIf you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

As seen in this picture:
Thanks.It seems to come with Roxio Toast or CD Spin Doctor.
The location must be as your message showed :

To find it, you should be able to select the line of text above, then ctrl-click it in Safari & choose 'Services - Reveal in Finder' from the contextual menu. Alternatively, copy the text & paste it into Finder - Go menu - Go to Folder. -

"/System/Library/Extensions/PACESupport.kext"
After finally installing Snow Leopard today and updating to 10.6.4, I've been getting this error message appear sporadically:
System extension cannot be used.
The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/PACESupport.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try re-installing it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.The extension is not an Apple-supplied one. It is an obsolete anti-piracy extension, suppled by Pace Anti-Piracy, Inc. & installed with a few applications such as older versions of Cubase. See Apple > Support > Discussions > Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Installation & Setup > PACESupport removal for more info about it & how to get rid of it.
