What to do about a kernel error

I have a Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive for Mac and am running Mavericks.  I am getting an intermittent notice of an error
Kernel extension is not from an identified developer
The kernel extension at "/System/Library/Extensions/Seagate Storage Driver" is not from an identified developer but will still be loaded.
Please contact the kernel extension vendor for updated software.
I am running the latest version of the driver -- is there a way to make this go away or to edit the kext to sign it?

Thank you.  There is no instruction for this I can find from Seagate.  And since it did not happen under 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) it is due to a change that Apple made to the system -- therefore it is an OS X matter.

  • What to do about a "File Error"

    Alright. Here's my sad story. When I go to turn on my iPOD, I get the little apple icon. It then goes to a "File Error" screen (the little folder with an exclamation point). I've tried to fix it, I went through all the little things that apple says to do. But, better yet, MY COMPUTER ISN'T WORKING! So, naturally, my iTUNES isn't working. I cannot get iTUNES to read my iPOD, and I cannot get my sisters computer to read my iPOD. What can I do?

    Take it to the nearest Apple Store and let the staff there format the iPod on one of their Macs. Take it home and re-format it for Windows by downloading the latest iPod updater and run RESTORE.

    I'm still with you, just having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that you reinstalled OS X, which is like shooting a mosquito with a cruise missile, yet the problem remains.
    Here is the KB article for your review: Reinstalling Mac OS X
    Admittedly there is not much to it, but it should have eradicated the problem.
    I would guess that the 17 "hp_" messages have something to do with Hewlett-Packard and in fact I do use an HP printer with the computer.  I uninstalled the printer software and reinstalled it.  The printer seems to work fine, but the kernel extension error messages still keep appearing.  I'm inclined just to delete these 17 kernel extensions and then, if the printer doesn't work correctly, unintall and reinstall the printer software again.  Sound sensible?
    It certainly does. The only thing I can think of is that the OS reinstallation did not recognize those kernel extensions and left them untouched, AND the HP uninstaller did not remove them, AND the HP installer did not perform correctly. Having suffered through several HP botched software attempts I tend to believe that remains a posssibility.
    If you are so inclined, I would remove the troublesome .kext files as you say, then reboot. Be prepared for the printer to stop working, but once you remove them try the printer again anyway. The vast majority of printers do not require any specific downloads since their drivers are already built into OS X.
    As a last resort try reinstalling OS X again (I know...) and run Software Update to bring everything up to date. Apple released some new printer drivers a few weeks ago.
    Finally, if this doesn't work post the same question as a new topic since I am out of ideas. A new topic will get more attention than unresolved questions with responses.

  • I'm getting this error statement: XULRUNNER error: platform version 6.0.2 is not compatible with min etc max etc6.0.1 - what is this about and how can it be corrected?

    This is what I think may have happened. The other day, Thursday Sept 8th, I shut down my pc in the middle of a Firefox upgrade. Now when I try to access Firefox on my pc, I get this error message:
    XULRUNNER Error: Platform version '6.0.2 is not compatible with min Version >= 6.0.1 max Version < 6.0.1
    What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?

    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

  • What is it about InDesign CS5 that someone would get this error message?

    Hi,
    What is is about the .swf file that is generated from the InDesign CS5 interactive workspace that someone would get the following error message when they go to view the site I created?
    "This file may contain newer information that this viewer can support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe suggests that you upgrade to the latest versions of our Acrobat products blah blah blah."
    The site doesn't seem to work for four Mac users, but works fine for at least one PC user.
    I'm trying to figure out how to save the .swf file down to Flash Player 9, which I've done by exporting a .fla file, then adjusting the Publish setting in Flash CS5. But that throws a wrench into the works...all the animations go haywire by continuously looping and the scale of all the text elements on the first page is much larger than it should be.
    Thanks, Steve

    this usually happens when a user moves or deletes files in the finder - a sure way to upset iTunes.
    did you move or delete files in the finder ?
    I cannot locate the song.
    if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?
    if the files are really gone, and have been purchased from the iTunes store, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

    I keep getting an error message when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone to my iMac, as follows:  The iPad "_________" cannot be synced.  An unknonw error occurred (-50).  Does anyone know what this is about - thanks.

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:

  • Kernel Error Panic

    I recently bought a new MacBook 2 months ago. About a month or so after receiving it I began to receive kernel errors (the gray box with all the different languages in it). I bought the MacBook with 1GB RAM and a friend installed another 1GB for me (now it has 2GB). From things I have been reading, I am wondering if this is the cause of my kernel panics. It seems to happen mostly when I am using iChat. Everything else seems to be working fine. iChat freezes on me quite often. I have reformatted my computer once already and thought that things were going well until 20 minutes ago when I got a kernel error. I reformatted thinking that would solve my kernel error problems. I am not in the US right now and won't be able to take my MacBook into a store for another 6 weeks at the earliest. What should I do in the mean time? Should I reinstall the original RAM and then take the computer in when I get back to the states? Any advice would be appreciated... I am not that computer savvy. Thank you!

    As pointed out by J.C., the most likely cause of your problem is the 3rd party RAM you've installed. Try replacing it with the original RAM that came with your system. This is exactly what the Apple techs will do if you take your machine to an Apple store. If the Kernel Panics stop, then this confirms that the 3rd party RAM was the cause. If not, you'll need to explore other options.

  • Kernel Errors!!!

    Hi All I have a 15" PB Aluminum 1.5ghz with 1GB of ram. Just bought off a friend and when I did a fresh erase and install of OS X 10.4, repaired permissions and rebooted I get the kernel error telling me to hold down the power button and restart. So I did this and when it restarts I get the grey apple background with a load of writing all over it. How do I try and figure out what is causing the problem. Is there a way to get into the system to access the log files as I cannot get OS X to boot into the system. I also ran tech tool pro from the DVD and that says everything has passed such as processor, memory etc....
    Help Please

    I don't think it's OS X (10.4.11) that's causing the problem as I did erase and install about 3 times, verified the HDD and repaired permissions and no errors.
    That should take care of any directory errors. For now we can consider the directory to be in order.
    Also the HDD is new so I am guessing it's not that either as the previous owner had kernel errors with the old HDD.
    Well, that does not necessarily eliminate the problem. It may be that the issue which the previous owner had was not necessarily the HDD itself. Could be a faulty ATA ribbon cable, or even the ATA Controller on the logic board. If you have a firewire HDD available you could install the OS on it and try booting from it. Indeed, you can pull the HDD, install it in a Firewire Enclosure connect it to the computer via Firewire and see if the problem persists.
    the Airport Extreme is factory installed and I have nothing external attached and no applications installed at all yet.
    The AE card can become loosened in the socket either from internal heat of the computer, or maybe jostled when the HDD was being replaced, or it may be failing. Pulling it out, cleaning the contacts and reseating it securely may or may not make a difference.
    I can only begin to guess that it is the RAM as the original RAM has been removed and replaced with a new 1GB stick (Not Crucial RAM by the way).
    That is definitely a possibility, but not a certainty. If you can get ahold of the original RAM and install it just for testing, it should help determine whether the RAM currently installed is the issue.

  • Kernel error when restructuring

    Every time I try to restructure any Essbase database because of I have added or removed dimensions I get a message about an Essbase kernel error.Then I have to kill the esssrv.exe of the application that contains the database because I get a message from it telling 'Client commands are currently not being accepted'.What can I do? I need to add an attribute dimension to my database and I can't.Please help.Thank you.

    It might be a good practice to add dimensions after exporting leaf level data out and saving them as a backup, clear the database, add the new dimension, reload and recalculate.Also, it is recommended not to changeany dense dimension members on a fully loaded cube. The restructuring would bevery time consuming and likely to crashthe server.NM
