silverbullit Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have been able to get my mouse to work with these commands that bugsbunny gave to me. Smart fellow. sudo -s (give password and hit ENTER; if your password is blank then just hit ENTER) chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*.kext rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache kextcache -a i386 -z -k /System/Library/Extensions diskutil repairpermissions / reboot Only problem is that my mouse will stop working after I click the keyboard. Does anyone know whats up. Greatly appreciated as always.

democles Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 me too!! I think we share the same issue here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21886-using-onboard-keyboard-and-mouse-on-laptop/#findComment-193689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
troisd Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Ownership is one part of the problem... perhaps the permissions are wrong? The issue can be fixed by loading up terminal and typing: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \; Disk Utility will not fix the problem automatically.

yourname Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Ownership is one part of the problem... perhaps the permissions are wrong? The issue can be fixed by loading up terminal and typing: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \; Disk Utility will not fix the problem automatically. When i did that and rebooted it came up with a message saying: The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used. please try reinstalling it, or contact the product vendor for a update. Then a second message says the same with this: /Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Trackpad.kext added to it. Did i miss doing something? How do i remove the warning msg's from start up now? Thanx.

Snotz Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 This problem was stated on a previous post. In /etc/rc near the end you will see: if [ "${VerboseFlag}" != "-v" ] ; then /usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow fi exit 0 change to this: if [ "${VerboseFlag}" != "-v" ] ; then /usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow fi kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext exit 0 I was having the exact same problem as you were, before I did this. Now everything is good. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21886-using-onboard-keyboard-and-mouse-on-laptop/#findComment-227595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
