firebush05 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I can't use my USB mouse/keyboard with this install either. My BIOS settings are set correctly. Anyone have any insight?

sgi02 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 You need to use the IOUSBFamily.kext from 10.4.3 , I had the same issue with my install. It seems to be the only way to get it to work.

Sabr Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 How do I put it on the install disc?? Don't.... Install it, and then from Windows XP, transfer the file under a program called Transmac.

Sabr Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Oh, lol sorry... Ermm, ok, try installing it from VMWare (Workstation 5.5) under Windows. That's what I did. That will probably allow you to install it with mouse and keyboard support. We can figure out how to get the kext accross later...

Mr. Bond Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Or, you can download a handy little program called Transmac (give it a Google). Transmac will let you open Mac drives and images, so it will give you access to all the files on the DVD image. From there, you can take the 10.4.3 kext (from /System/Library/Extensions), and add it to the 10.4.4 DVD (in the same directory). Then burn, and install.

xtraa Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Ah sorry *g* you are talking about the install dvd... lol I was wondering 1. Convert hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso 2. mount it readwrite hdiutil attach -readwrite <dragyourimage here> 3. the problem. You can built an mkext with the desired kext by doing kextcache -k something, but read here http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...indpost&p=39044 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10773-usb-wont-work-on-10445-dvd-install/#findComment-70197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Noor Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 if you want it working when booting from the dvd you need to add a Extensions.mkext with that kext in, you can also install it in vmware where mouse & keyboard work add the kext to the installed os and boot in native hoping that it works Can one copy the ext to /System/Library/Extensions on the DVD, install, and then use transmac from XP to copy the file over to the installed system? i.e. will you get USB support for the purpose of installing OSX 10.4.4/5 by simply adding the ext file on the DVD? I am tryng to avoid having to create a new mext file on the install DVD.

xajez Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'm having the same trouble. Mouse and keyboard work in VMware (where I did the install) but my usb mouse and keyboard don't work in native. I also do not have access to the IOUSBFamily.kext from 10.4.3, and the only one for 10.4.3 on Apple's site is for PPC. After this one, all I have left is fixing the VIAATA kext and I'll be set.
