Does anyone know where this came from: /System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Hi MacFam;

If 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.

Why does it appear the message "impossible to utilize the extension of the system /System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext"

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 :
/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext
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.

Back up all data, then either reinstall or remove "CD Spin Doctor" according to the instructions of the developer.

Anybody know how to fix this (System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport)

Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

Find out what that third party software the kext file belongs to and update or use the developers method to uninstall the third party software responsible for it.
I suspect it's a iTunes extension perhaps?
You also can use the manual method of Finder > Go > Computer and opening your drive, then your System/Library/Extensions folder and looking for the file and moving it out onto the desktop, you will need to be in Admin user and use your password, then reboot to clear the random access memory. However this method doesn't remove the parent program you still need to do that.
How to uninstall/install software on your Mac
The kext file wasn't loaded, so it's not running, but removing it from the Extensions folder or uninstalling what put it there will solve your notification problem as that's all it appears to be.

ErlyOnyx clean-up of my MacBook OS X10.6.8 says: /System/library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext "not installed prop

An Onyx clean-up of my MacBook OS X10.6.8 says: /System/library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext "not installed properly & cannot be used" .
I can move it to trash, but how do I "properly" reinstall it? What are the consequences if I don't instal it. I do not us an ethernet connection on this computer.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, copy and paste the entire following line into it, and press the Run button:
do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" with administrator privileges
If it doesn’t work, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /System/Library/Extensions/ as the path, throw the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext item away, and reinstall iTunes.

"/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.
