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 can I uninstall the Safari extension "Facebook Photo Zoom?"

Hello,
How can I uninstall the Safari extension "Facebook Photo Zoom?"
Thanks,
lenms

Sorry, den.thed, I've looked 'til I'm blue in the face! There is but ONE radio button--the "Install Now." Once you've clicked on it and the extension installs, that same radio button greys out and you can (barely) see the word "Installed" on it, and there is no other button available (see the image below.)
I've never seen software where you could not uninstall an extension.
Thanks,

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.

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).

You are very welcome, glad to be able to help.
Macs are different than PCs, so much easier to use. But it takes time to figure out where everything is.
See things like:
Brad Miser, MacBook Air Portable Genius - a great overview book about the machine.
David Pogue, OSX Macericks, the Missing Manual - massive amount of details about Mac OS X operating system.
And there are many more resources. But you did find one of the best help resources, the ASC...we are all fellow users here to help each other out. Stick around, ask questions, there is always someone with the answer.

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

[not loaded] com.kodak.print.printerdock.merge (1.0.0) Support

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 do I uninstall extensions from my mac?

How do I uninstall extensions from my mac? I'm trying to uninstall the Greatdy System Audio and Sunflower extensions. It would really be nice if macs had a comprehensive program to uninstall programs and plugins.

Open Extensions preferences in System Preferences. That is if you mean Yosemite extensions. Otherwise, use any uninstaller provided by the developer or read the following:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

How can I uninstall the Skype Toolbar extension?

Firefox 3.6.17, Windows 7- Want to uninstall Skype Toolbar extension. I have disabled it but the uninstall button is greyed out. I went to extension folder in profile to delete but it is not there?

use - about:config and search for skype. in the extensions. part use modify (there is no delete) - Firefox team please note - need a delete here. Anyway, modify to remove these extensions and all should be okay. doesn't work with the mystart malware as this is still on your PC and therefore when Firefox starts up, it puts itself back into the extensions. this may be the same with some toolbars.

How do I delete specific Kernal Extensions?

Running OS 10.10. I've been trying to get rid of Kaspersky (uninstalled w/ their uninstaller, threw parts in trash, library & launch purging, etc etc - a real pain unfortunately) and I thought I had it all gone. I used EntreCheck and found that there were still some Kaspersky elements. Here is what the report says, is there a way I can delete or edit these? I don't know how to find this on my HD.
Kernel Extensions: ℹ️
/Library/Extensions
[loaded] com.kaspersky.kext.klif (3.0.3a40) Support
[loaded] com.kaspersky.nke (1.6.3a13) Support
And there was one other non-related item but I thought to remove/edit/delete it too if possible
Startup Items: ℹ️
HP Trap Monitor: Path: /Library/StartupItems/HP Trap Monitor
Startup items are obsolete and will not work in future versions of OS X
Kindest,
Jim

You can try this method:
Download and run Find Any File to search for any files with "the application's' name" and the "developer's name" in the file name. For example for your two kaspersky files you'd do two searches:
1 - Name contains "com.kaspersky.kext.klif"
2 - Name contains " com.kaspersky.nke"
Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop for deletion. if you're asked to give your Admin password do so.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.

How do I uninstall or reinstall itunes when the itunes.mls file is missing and won't do either without it?

How do I uninstall or reinstall itunes when the itunes.mls file is missing and won't do either without it? Have done a search for the file extension on PC and two external hard drives. Doesn't show up.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
