Full Version: Apple SMBIOS extension fix for CS3 crashes

Downloaded the link to the Apple SMBIOS extension that everyone was raving about in the several posts just ahead of this (from Nickhamm). It won't actually open on a Mac, but is it even for a Mac, or just a PC? I'm having the same crashing problems on my Mac ever since I installed CS3. Any magic fixes for that? Thanks for any help for a non-technical graphics person.

It's for Hackintoshes i.e. PC's running mac os X. Probably won't do anything on a real mac...

Hi, I just ordered Adobe's Production Premium CS3 yesterday. Are you saying that it will give the same crash problem on a Mac Pro that the Green Dem... version gives on the hackintosh prior to installing the AppleSMBIOS.kext? That will really be disappointing.

I have no idea. I don't have a MacPro, but an older Mac, which is why I'm probably having the problem.

Wenle Z. do a bit of searching, come on, it's on his blog freely available for download.

adplus: AppleSMBIOS is a kernel extension file that belongs in /System/Library/Extensions

again, do a bit of searching to find easy answers.

Don't forget to repair permissions if you place the kext in /System/Library/Extensions, and then remove the Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache from /System/Library wink.gif

Does this fix work on PPC macs? and if not is there a similar fix out there?
