Scott V Saunders Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 HI, I am trying to work out how to install a KEXT file on the osx86 mac. I have the USB ports detected as far as the system profiler shows but none of the attached components are working or indeed registering. I have tried to reinstall and remove all audio fixes and still the same problem is there. I have been advised to install a Kext file that has been sent to me but I dont know what to do and I can find anywhere that will show me . Can someone help?

The Baron Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Go to terminal. sudo -s *password* cp -rf NAMEOF.kext /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NAMEOF.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NAMEOF.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext reboot, and keep your fingers crossed HTH, The Baron Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68944-how-to-install-a-kext-file/#findComment-489974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott V Saunders Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hi, That doesnt work - I have even tried coping and pasting the command you put but adding the name of the kext file and nothing seems to happen, I get messages telling me the file or directory does not exist. is this normal for none of the USB's to work?
