How do I restore IOUSBFamily kernel extension?

Whilst trying to get a USb device to work in Parallels I followed some advice on modifying the IOUSBFamily extenion to allow Parallels to take control over the device.
It made no difference. I copied the backup file back into /System/Library/Extensions/ but now OS X will not detect my USB printer. Clearly I have messed up the USB drivers.
I'm trying to avoid a full reinstall. Does anyone know how I can restore the IOUSBFamily kernel extension?

Solved by reinstalling 10.4.8 combo update (intel).

  • Kernal Panic after attempting to install IOUSBFamily Kernel Extensions

    Wondering if anyone can direct me on how to "Restore" my Original IOUSBFamily files? Tried to install what I thought was "updated" Developer IOUSBFamily from Apple's website but on Re-boot my MBP won't start up at all. Keep getting a message "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" (black screen with a grey power button behind the text).
    I'm 100% sure of two things; 1st - Yes I'm an idiot for installing something I wasn't sure of 2nd - the cause is the IOUSBFamily drivers I installed.
    Luckily I have my old hard drive here and I can get my MBP booted using it via an external enclosure with USB Cable. The Apple Support article I read indicates "you can use Terminal to restore the original IOUSBFamily kernel extension back into the /system/library/extensions".
    Already tried the obvious - tried copying the "extensions" folder from my old drive to the corrupt drive and no go. Anyone know how on earth I restore the old files?
    Many thanks to any who can offer assistance!

    If all else fails, you can reinstall Snow Leopard using the same installer disc you used to install it originally (or your grey system discs if your Mac came with Snow Leopard installed). This will not erase your user files but you will have to update the OS & Apple-supplied apps after the installation. This isn't as painful as it sounds if you use the Software Update app immediately following the first normal restart after the installation completes. Software Update is smart enough to pick the most appropriate update(s) to get your Mac back to the latest software, including automatically picking the Combo version of the OS updater if the installed version is more than one minor version behind the latest one.
    In fact, given how slow a Time Machine restore can be, if you have a fast high speed Internet connection this could take less time & effort on your part than doing the TM restore. Plus, it guarantees that you get the latest versions of everything & that they are all properly linked.

  • How do I uninstall a kernel extension

    I recvently installed the drivers for a USB graphics tablet.
    But it didn't work as well as I'd like so I no loner use the device.
    There are no un-install instructions with the device, and no un-install instructions on the manufacturers website.
    When I email them they just say they don't support Mac OS X despite the driver being in the box!!!
    Now that I've unplugged the device, my system log is full of dozens and dozens of these messages....
    Jan 13 12:53:48 localhost kernel[0]: IOUSBInterface: family specific matching fails
    Jan 13 12:53:48 localhost kernel[0]: IOUSBInterface: family specific matching fails
    Jan 13 12:53:48 localhost kernel[0]: IOUSBInterface: family specific matching fails
    Everytime I boot I see dozens of these messages repeated over and over.
    So how can I un-install the driver for this device?

    Without knowing exactly what was installed...
    Kernel extensions can be found in /System/Library/Extensions
    There should be a .kext bundle corresponding to the driver you installed. Delete that to uninstall it. Be very careful not to delete the wrong one though!

  • How to get rid of kernel extension under maverick

    Hello,
    this kernel extension (com.globaldelight.driver.BoomDevice          (1.1 - SDK 10.5)) seems to be causing kernel panic and shuts down my computer randomly. Could you please explain how to unsintall it
    Thank you in advance

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and (unless otherwise specified in this comment) I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Kernel Extension

    Hi all!
    Can anybody please tell me how do I load a kernel extension at boot?
    Thank you very much

    I'm trying to install speedit.kext
    (It would have been better to give this information in your original post.)
    OSBundleRequired property is not set in Info.plist of the kext so it is not loaded at boot time. To force it to be loaded at boot time, I guess you may add the property to the Info.plist (But this is not recommended in the Apple's document I mentioned above). Or you can create a StartupItem to kextload speedit.kext and put it into /System/Libray/StartupItems/.
    But I don't reccomend these methods. I guess speedit.kext is still under development, and loading it automaticaly at boot time may have a possibility to make your Mac unbootable (well, you may be able to use SafeBoot or single user mode but...)
    A safer way would be to create a shell script like
    #!bin/sh
    sudo /path/to/install.sh
    and register it as your login item (you will be asked for password every time you login).

  • How to remove Kernel extensions, Slow Restart 10.7.5, Should I really upgrade to 10.9?

    Hello everyone, after spending a few days reading various posts about similar topics, here is a breakdown of my question: 
    (I made a Time Machine backup on an external HD, even though EtreCheck says "Not Configured")
    1:  I used EtreCheck to diagnose my laptop, and I do not know how to locate the Kernel Extensions in the computer to eliminate them, or "solve" them.  Can I find them with Finder?  If so, do I just delete the files?  How else can I pinpoint the issues EtreCheck shows me?
    2:  I am experiencing the "15 second waiting period" with the gray spining wheel when I restart, which only started happening about three weeks ago.
    3:  After multiple attempts, it seems that Mavericks 10.9 is finally downloading from the App Store, but I would rather not upgrade if I don't need to, since 10.7.5 has been working well until now. 
    MAINLY, this is important to me since I am using Abelton Live 9 with a new 64-bit Saffire Pro-14 firewire audio interface, and it has started clicking during playback, which cannot be solved with buffering/latency fixes.  This is the main reason I got this laptop (for audio production) and I want to make sure it continues to function at the highest level for that purpose.
    To be clear, I have not experienced a "kernel panic" that requires me to shut down...  I am simply trying to maintain my system for optimal performance by deleting problem files.
    Thanks to anyone who can give me some basic daemon/kernel hunting instructions.

    OS X upgrades don't cause problems, they reveal them. Every OS X upgrade since at least Jaguar has elicited complaints ranging from crashes, slowdowns, reduced battery life, everything short of an outbreak of hives. Most problems reported on this site are directly attributable to incompatible system modifications and poorly written or otherwise ill-conceived utilities. They exist in roughly the same proportion that have existed with every OS X upgrade since Jaguar, at least. Apple has no way to fix problems caused by software they did not develop and cannot control.
    In your case, one definitely problematic system modification is the PACE anti-piracy app that does not appear to have been updated since Snow Leopard. I do not know what software you have that may require it, but it should either be updated or uninstalled before upgrading to Mavericks.
    There are others that could be a concern including a launch daemon curiously named "com.hidden.deamon.plist". Well-written software should not be attempting to hide anything, but perhaps that was just an unfortunately chosen name. (Edit to add: read http://hiddenapp.com/support/installation/how-uninstall/ - it doesn't appear to have been updated for Mavericks either.)
    If your boot time is excessive then an impending hard disk failure may be the cause. You must have a backup strategy, and rule out hardware failure as the possible cause of that symptom. If you have a backup strategy, then upgrading to Mavericks carries no risk whatsoever. If you don't like Mavericks, you can always restore your system from its backup. Merely having a backup often seems to preclude the need for it.
    I upgraded many portable and desktop Macs of various ages and configurations. In every case not only was the upgrade completely uneventful, every Mac enjoyed quantifiable performance improvements. None of them have the notoriously problematic software or incompatible hardware modifications that seem to have caused others misery though. In broad terms those can be categorized as third party "anti-virus" or "security" junk, "cleaning" or "optimizing" utilities, any number of invasive Google services including Chrome, and similarly ill-conceived system hacks.
    In your case the only potential concern with which I am familiar is PACE. Since I have no way of knowing what software you use I can only speculate what may require it, but I seem to recall PACE is or was used by Avid Pro Tools. Does that help?

  • How do I remove an unnecessary kernel extension?

    I ran an Etre Check this morning and found I have a kernel extension that I do not need. It has likely been on my computer since I bought it new and had my old Windows files migrated to my iMac by the Apple Store. I do not now, nor have I ever had, a Kodak printer, so I think this just got loaded with Kodak Gallery when I had a Kodak camera.  All my photos were migrated to iPhoto and Kodak Gallery does not exist on my mac.  It shows up as a kernel extension on the Etre Check report but is listed as an (unloaded) Application in my System files.  I tried to drag it from the System files to Trash but that resulted in everything listed below it being highlighted which I certainly didn't want.  It does not show up under Applications in Finder.  Here is how it shows up in the report, which was otherwise normal.  Thanks for any help with this.
    Kernel Extensions: ℹ️

    Thanks for your response. I couldn't delete it in the Systems files that way.  I finally found it under Applications Support in Finder and was able to drag it to Trash. 

  • How to restore my kernel?

    After upgraded the kernel, I find my sound card can't work fine as before.
    How to restore my kernel to kernel26-2.6.16.16-1 ?

    well what have you done to try to get it work with the new kernel ?
    did you clear out /etc/modprobe.conf of all sound stuff?
    what soundcard do you have?
    but if you really want
    pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.16.16-1 ?
    that is if that kernel package has not been removed from your cache

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by this recall.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
    Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they might still be covered.
    Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired free of charge, and you don't want to pay for the service, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.
    If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    my mac mini is running very slow all of a sudden, how can i restore it's speed?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
    The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window. If you don't see that line within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
    When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Kernel Extension Loading Order

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with PGP v10.0.1. I get a Kernel Panic (KP) after I install it and the support people at PGP say it’s a problem with the way the Kernel Extensions (kext) load in OS X. They have incorporated PGP Whole Disk Encryption (WDE) into PGP and it really screws things up. With PGP v10 installed I get an instant KP when I start and I have to do a Safe Boot to even get my Mac started. They say I have to rearrange the way the kexts load and I was suppose to download a file to my Desktop and run the following commands from Terminal:
    cd Desktop and press Enter
    Then type sudo ./kernelpanicfix
    and press Enter
    then reboot the machine when prompted
    This gave me the following output from Terminal:
    sudo: ./kernelpanicfix: command not found
    I opened the file I had downloaded to my Desktop and found the following:
    #!/bin/sh
    if [ `id -u` -ne 0 ]
    then
    echo "Please run this command using as root (using sudo)."
    exit 1
    fi
    # A potential workaround for already installed systems:
    # Working from a home directory in Terminal.
    # 1. Make a copy of the kext:
    rm -rf /tmp/PGPwde.kext
    cp -r /System/Library/Extensions/PGPwde.kext /tmp
    # 2. Make a backup copy (just in case).
    cp -r /tmp/PGPwde.kext /tmp/PGPwde.bak.kext
    # 4. Change IOKit to IONVRAM
    sed -i ".bak" 's&<string>IOKit</string>&<string>IONVRAM</string>&' /tmp/PGPwde.kext/Contents/Info.plist
    # 5. Restore the kext
    chown -R 0:0 /tmp/PGPwde.kext
    rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/PGPwde.kext
    mv /tmp/PGPwde.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
    # 6. Update kextcache
    touch /System/Library/Extensions
    # Wait at least a few seconds for kextcache to complete
    echo "Sleeping while kextcache does it's thing."
    sleep 15
    echo "PGPwde.kext has been update. Please reboot."
    Clearly these are commands I was suppose to run and not something that would work with the commands I was given. I don’t write code so I’m not sure if what they are sending me is correct but they have sent me the wrong commands before which fortunately didn’t hose my system, and it is clear that they aren’t communicating with each other. One person is telling me to run commands on a file that turns out to be, in my opinion, jumbled instructions containing the commands I am suppose to run in Terminal that are from an entirely different person.
    First, I am very concerned about rearranging the order that the kexts load and ending up with a Mac that will never boot, or recognize my external FireWire drives. Second, they clearly aren’t communicating with each other, and I’m afraid that someone that really doesn’t know what they are doing is writing these commands and I’m going to have major problems because the Terminal commands they send me are wrong. Note that they have already sent me the wrong commands which fortunately just gave an innocuous output.
    I have the following questions:
    1) Are the above commands correct that are in the jumbled mess that was in this Desktop file?
    2) If the Terminal commands are correct how badly am I going to screw things up by rearranging the kexts the way that they are telling me to do them on my Mac Mini?
    3) Could this cause problems for me in the future when I upgrade to OS X.6 or any future OS?
    4) I have a Boot Camp partition running Windows XP. Will this affect that partition?
    Can someone please advise me on this. I’m great with hardware but not with Terminal commands. You people are far smarter than I am so I really need your advice on this.
    Thank you in advance,
    Paul

    I wouldn't quite say that. I would say it is a problem with PGP.
    They have incorporated PGP Whole Disk Encryption (WDE) into PGP and it really screws things up. With PGP v10 installed I get an instant KP when I start and I have to do a Safe Boot to even get my Mac started. They say I have to rearrange the way the kexts load and I was suppose to download a file to my Desktop and run the following commands from Terminal:
    1) Are the above commands correct that are in the jumbled mess that was in this Desktop file?
    Those commands look pretty safe. It is only mucking around with PGP kernel extensions. I don't know why they just don't fix the originals. Whatever name that files happens to have, you can run it with "sh /whatever/name/it/has".

    What do you mean "this"? Issuing these commands? No. PGP itself, absolutely. You aren't on 10.6 yet? You are having this much trouble with PGP on a 3 year-old OS? Why do you want this software to begin with?

    No

  • Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

    Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

    That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
    Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
    or <br />
    right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
    Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

  • In latest version of MF there`s missing button, which was in previous version: between buttons back/forward and the typing bar there used to be little flash, which showed few last pages I have just browsed. How can I restore it?

    If you mean the drop marker then you can still get the History of the Back and Forward buttons if any by either Left-Click and hold for a second or by Right-Clicking them.
    If you still want the drop mark there also then there is this Extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
    Also the abbreviation for Firefox is '''Fx'''

  • How can i restore my backup from hard drive, it says files modified by OSX

    Hello
    Before i update my mac i backup all my files to the external hard drive after i update it to OSX (10.9)i can not restore them, due to new update i had to change my hard drive thats how i lost all my files
    please guid me how can i restore my files
    regards

    Not familiar with the Mac file structure either but you can transfer the entire content of your Firefox profile replacing entire content of a firefox profile you created on new HD. For me copying over a few files was out of the question all of the files are updated and I wasn't about to reinstall 150+ extensions and set up configurations for everything and to do that for that 20 profiles and .ini file. Except for 3 most didn't have a lot of extensions but it would be rather impossible.
    I copied everything from the Mozilla folder down in the user libraries so all my profiles were set, it did something similar for application libraries.
