How do I edit a .kext file in snowleopard 10.6.8.

I have a usb to serial converter uc-sgt. which uses the prolificusbserial 2030 chip. There is no specific driver for this device but prolific make a generic driver. I found a tutorial on how to edit the .kext file and insert the correct hardware and vendor id to make the generic driver work for this converter. But snowleopard 10.6.8 will not let me overwrite the .kext file I keep getting the error "this file has been installed improperly and will not be used"  What can i do.
all the other tutorials related to kext problems suggest reverting to a previous version but that is not an option in this case.
thanks for your help.

This article has the necessary information
what I was missing was running the commands sudo Chown and chmod on the file to change the ownership to root.

  • How can I edit a mp3 file and drop it in an iMovie project?

    I wish to edit an mp3 music file so that I can drop a piece of it into an iMovie project. iMovie's audio tools are very rudimentary---one can reposition a music file, shorten it, etc but cannot pick a piece of it to complement a movie segment.
    So I dropped the mp3 file into GarageBand. I deleted the first section of the song, then selected the 16 second piece I wanted to include in my iMovie, using the copy command. Then I pasted the piece into a new GarageBand project screen. The piece wouldn't play, and when I selected "export" the piece neatly went to where I wanted it, but again with no sound.
    So simply: how do I edit an mp3 file (cutting a piece of it) and then save it so I can apply it to an iMovie? Help!

    it should have played, but you can do it easier by exporting just the section you want:

  • How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0

    My company - [name deleted by host] purchased Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0. for me
    How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0
    I need to edit - copy, extract text, add text, etc. from existing PDF files to SAVE my changes,
    or create a new PDF file from an existing file.
    This is very important for me to be able to do my job effectively.
    I spent over 2 hrs the last few days, and another hour today, still can't do it.
    PLEASE respond ASAP with a solution.
    Thanks in advance,

    PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
    You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

  • How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

    How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

    Well, you don't. Editing a PDF is a difficult and fraught business even with the most expensive software.
    But PDF Pack lets you export to Word; then often you can edit in Word. Now you can make a new PDF. It might look like the original, or it might not. If small changes matter you might be out of luck. ON NO ACCOUNT USE THIS FOR GOVERNMENT FORMS.

  • How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

    How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

    Depends on the extent of the edits. You will need Acrobat in any case. If the edits or minor, you can use the text edit tool. For major edits, you need to request the original file be sent or see if you can Save As a DOC or related file type. PDFs are not really structured for editing and you are asking for a lot of grief if you want to do much. Exporting is the best way, or even better simply asking the author for the original (non-PDF type).

  • How can I edit my PDF file on cloud?

    I cannot figure out how can I edit my PDF file on Acrobat Pro cloud version.

    Hi abulr60330783,
    I've checked your account, and couldn't see what version of Acrobat that you have. You may be referring to the Acrobat DC which Adobe announced this week, but that isn't available just yet.
    So, for the time being, you'll need to use Acrobat Pro XI or earlier to edit PDF files. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,
    Sara

    How do i edit an eps file in illustrator? I've downloaded the file from shutterstock but don't know how to edit the text etc.

    You need to first check if it is editable text.
    Go in outline mode (View > Outline). Then check if the text in filled black or just outlined. In case it's outlined, you can't edit it.

  • How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?

    Hi All,
    How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?
    Any ideas, solution, suggestions.
    Regards,
    Rahul.

    Hello Roach,
    First, thanks for your quick response.
    I am using a Solaris 10 (Sparc ) machine , I want to make sure that no set uid programs get executed in /tmp partition.
    Currently I am modifying the value in /etc/vfstab to and adding the value in Mount Options as nosetuid, and restarting the system as a result when the system is rebooted the /etc/mnttab entry is populated accordingly and setuid programs are not executed in /tmp partition.
    But I want to avoid the reboot.
    I am planning to update the /etc/vfstab as well as /etc/mnttab file directly so that the reboot can be avoided.
    I found some function related to /etc/mnttab i.e
    (i)getmntent
    (ii)resetmnttab
    I will go into more details about it now
    Regards,
    Rahul.

    I purchased Pro so I can edit my pdf doc and it still won't let me edit it. How do I edit my pdf file?

    You say it won't let you edit it. What do you mean
    * You don't know how
    * The can't find the tools you expect to find for editing
    * You know how to edit, but you can't select text to edit at all
    * The tools are there but greyed out
    * You get an error message (what?)
    * Something else?
