skwij Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 OK. This is my second post here. My first was in the 4 page USB *fixed* thread. Stupid me didn't find out how to UNDO or revert things to the way they were, before running/installing the USB fix mentioned there. As I can't access the files on the other harddrive when running from this harddrive (Windoze), I don't remember the name offhand, but I think it was USB family or something like that. Now, nothing works. Mouse, KB, nothing USB or even PS/2 ported works at all. I've been into bios and had a fiddle around there, and I'm now booted onto the "other" Harddrive (gad, I can't believe how much I hate Windows after using OS/X for a while). Can someone/anyone please please help? I'm off to do a search here, but please, any help at all with this would be appreciated hugely. I just want my usb ports to work again! EDIT: System Specs: -P4 630 HT, 3G -ASUS P5GD1-VM -Maxtor 250G SATA (OS/X) -Maxtor 250G PATA (XPproSP2) -Seagate 320G SATA II -OCZ 4@512 DDR 400 2-2-2-5 -Lite-On DVDrw SOHW Dunno if that will help with any suggestions. but a reinstall of OS/X 10.4.5 didn't work. I'm posting from Winblows on the "other" harddrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisam Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Same thing happened to me yesterday and I fixed it !!!!! Don't give up so easily. Here is the solution and I hope it will work for you. I am using 1.4.8 Jas SSE3 release so be sure to get the fix for your current version. Follow this Apple USB fix: http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers...d/usbdebug.html Download IOUSBFamily.kext 2.6.1 and then after it finish go and open the files. Do not install the LOG version. Install the file without log and reboot Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwij Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hey Wisam, thanks for the post! IOUSBfamily is what borked my ports to begin with, so I won't be installing that again any time soon! Anyhow, managed to reinstall 10.4.5 on another HDD, and migrated everything from the initial drive over, and all is good again. I remember issues with the USB started with upgrading to 10.4.7 then 10.4.8, so for now, I'm leaving things alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
