EGOvoruhk Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 dont want to be rude but come on....how hard is it to delete a file.... how did you manage to install in the first place.. If he upgraded to 10.6.2, very. He wont have access to the GUI, and will need to delete it by command line. I'm assuming he doesn't know OS X command entries, hence his question Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197295-deleting-sleep-enabler-kext/#findComment-1329069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmanz Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Correctomundo.. I had installed Snow 10.6.1 but updated to 6.2. My questions was if it can be done only in terminal or should I partition it install Windows , and then look for the file to delete? I was wondering if there was any type gui app as my terminal experiences are minimal. Thx again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197295-deleting-sleep-enabler-kext/#findComment-1329204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinnggoff Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 its easy to delete...just use macdrive for windows delete it frow windows os..then restart cpu with -f flag Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197295-deleting-sleep-enabler-kext/#findComment-1329222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuruu Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 if windows is already installed, you can use macdrive. alternatively you can boot from your install media. once loaded you can open terminal. do something like mount_hfs /dev/disk0s2 /Volumes/Snowy/ and then you can delete the file that way with the command rm -rf /Extra/Extensions/SleepEnabler.kext hope this helps give you an idea of what is required. if it's all too much, getting hold of macdrive would be easier for you, if you have it handy.

OSX86GURU Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 In order to delete it you could try one of a few things, a. another mac to hook the drive up to in order to delete the file, b. windows software like macdrive if you have a dual boot system, c. boot with the -v -x -s boot flags, navigate to S/L/E and issue the command rm -R sleepenabler.kext, d. Boot from the installation disc you used to install snow leopard and open up terminal. Once again navigate to S/L/E and issue the same command as above.

rakela Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I could seem ignorant, but i have the same problem. Do i have to enter any other command after that which deletes the sleepenabler?
