I have a kext file from the macbookpro forums that will let me use 4 finger gestures on my early 2008 macbook pro. I can't replace the current AppleUSBMultitouch.kext no matter what I try to unlock the folder/repair permissions etc and I know I'm in the administrator account. So I need to know the basics of modifying these (and don't worry, I have it backed up etc)
View 13 RepliesI have updated HP drivers twice through Apple's Software Update and each time I get the following error: After dismissing the message I get a confirmation that the update was successful.

I cleaned up all my kext files from Sep 2013 back to address the kernel_task overload, but now itunes won't play (play button works but songs do not move forward), time machine will not restore backup and no audio comes from google chrome. Do I need to reinstall each individual program/application? Will a reinstall of Mavericks work?

Would it be possible to remove the Trackpad/Button from the MB Air and install the Full-Sized Trackpad from a MB Pro. Has anyone else thought about this?

I have an new external hard disk on which I created 2 partitions. One is for my media files and the other for backing up tu image disks.   I, as a user, have «read and write» privileges to the «media» partition and it's folders. Â
Why modifying a file/folder name still requires authorization ?Â

I'm running the most updated version of Snow Leopard on my iMac. I've recently purchased some add on planes for x-plane they were delivered in an installer with a .app extension. When I double click on them the icon does the usual animation to show it has responded to you clicking on it, but then nothing. It will not install or do anything at all, just sits there. I've tried restarting. I've been working with the vender and they are stumped so they just sent me a zip file of the plane for me to manually install, which I've done.
Has anyone ever experiences similar problems, is it some type of setting I might have changed thats prohibiting these from running??..................
I know I can go into each individual file and bring up the "get info" window, then click "hide extension" but I want to hide all extensions for all my files (including anything I download in the future). Is there a setting I can go into so that it will do this for me?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFrom what I understand the main reason the kernel in SL boots into 32-bit is because of potential 32-bit kernel extensions.
Is there a way to find out what kernel extensions a machine has and whether those are 32 or 64 bit extensions? This way I could figure out if I should boot with 32 or 64 bit kernel.
I recently did an erase and install of Snow Leopard. After the install I used Migration assistant to restore all my files. Before it completed I got about 7 messages that extensions were not installed properly and need to be reinstalled. One of them had something to do with my Canon Printer and the other was for my Elgato TV Tuner. I'm not sure what the other extensions were. Is it normal for some extensions to not restore correctly after using Migration assistant?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had a number of extensions - now they are gone (in that they don't load and are not listed in the preferences list of extensions, though they are still in the library). Downloading and then reinstalling is not working - safari reports that they can't be installed.

I am experienced in Excel VBA for the PC. I am finding my way around the Mac using Excel version 14.0.2. I am trying to rename files using Name oldpathname AS newpathname the files have .jpg and .pdf extensions. The files show up in Finder with and without the extension in the file name. I assume I will have to specify the entire file name including the extension. I am unsure what it means when I see files with and without the extensions in their names. On another but related subject, I have discovered the 31 character limit (truncated file names) in names as returned by the dir function. Does Name oldpathname as newpathname have the same problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a set of split files with letter extensions. They are named <filename>.iso.__a, <filename>.iso.__b, and so on. Additionally they continue on to <filename>.iso._aa to <filename>.iso._as. This further confuses me because a Mac will list the <filename>.iso.__a first but a PC will put the <filename>.iso._aa first so I am unsure which is the initial file. I haven't found software that will join them properly. Split and Concat stalls out at 4kb. MacHacha makes a full sized file but it won't mount. Stuffitexpander won't even try, and Ajoiner shades out all the files as they don't end in numbers. I also tried renaming all the files with numbers but this too failed.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust doing some pre-SL install research. I'm curious about running the kernel in 64-bit mode. I have a mid 2009 13" MBP so the hardware should be able to boot into the 64-bit kernel. I don't use a whole ton of 3rd party applications and not many external peripherals so I think I might be able to get away with k64.
But, is there a way for me to check for sure? How do I know if certain apps or peripherals/extensions are not 64-bit? If I click on the apps and use "Get Info" will that tell me? Perhaps there is a list somewhere similar to the SL compatibility wiki that tells people's experiences with 64-bit compatibility. What if I boot into k64 and try to run an incompatible item, will the OS tell me so, or just crash, or just not work, or what?
As far as peripherals:
iPod touch 2G
Mighty Mouse (bluetooth)
i1 Display2 colorimeter
Dell 2209WA

How can I "hide" the .app extensions for my apps? I know it doesn't effect anything but it's a nuisance to my eyes. Also anything that has to do with iLife doesn't have the extension.

I want to use some of the great extensions showcased at safariextensions.tumblr.com but I'm afraid they'll slow down the browsing experience and start up times. Will it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedTwo simple questions:
1) Does anyone know when, in particular, the extensions gallery will go live? Later this summer is a bit vague. I'm waiting on a few crucial extensions (e.g., AdBlock, WOT, Xmarks).
2) Concerning the Search Bar (Bing, Google, Yahoo!), will I be able to add additional search fields via the extensions gallery (provided someone creates them, of course)?
I presently use firefox and found the 'MyCroft Project' to be absolutely invaluable. It allows me to search common websites without having to navigate to them directly (url). If I can get this added capability, I will switch over for good!
