Hp Envy 5660 Driver For Mac Os X 10.6.8 Te Mac Os X 10 6 8 To 10 9

Installing the software results in non funclltioning or poorly function printer on both of our macs. Each computer has a printer. I get a message that 'System Extension cannot be used. '/System/Library/Extensions/hpPlugininit.kext' was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vender for an update.
An Apple repair shop 60 mi. away didn't seem to have much problem getting one computer fixed today. I reinstalled the software and the printer printed today. I started the set up with a cable connection and then the printer wanted to go wireless. It printed but only did one side of a page. I haven't had the printer for very many months and it did do two sided printing and everything else. I think the problem may have started after an Apple software update. I cannot delete the damaged software. It is protected from my messing up the software.
This computer will go to the shop Thursday morning if I can't fix it before that.

Hi,
click the Finder icon, then click the Go menu and select Computer.
Select your active boot volume, will usually appear as Macintosh-HD.
Browse to System > Library/Extensions and type hpPlugininit into the search bar, select to search in the Exxtensions folder and move the hpPlugininit.kext file to the trash.
Empty the trash, then reinstall the latest driver below:

Note: Be sure to check the HP Scan option to get full functionality.
Please let me know if that helps,
Shlomi

  • /System/Library/Extensions/hpPlugInInit.kext was installed improperly. How do I fix this? iTunes is no longer working and this is the message that keeps popping up.

    First off, you are running an intel not a PPC.
    Second have you attached a USB external drive to your computer? Remove all peripherals and see if the message goes away. Then reattach each peripheral one by one to weed out the problematic one.

  • /System/Library/Extensions/hpPlugInInit.kext was installed improperly How do I reinstall correctly? I can never upgrade software because of this error.

    Go to that folder and delete that file, then reinstall whatever software it was a part of (probably some HP printer software, I'd guess?).

    Interesting .. thank you! Actually I had that external drive, Western Digital, a while back on my second last? or third last? laptop .. the external drive died with a slew of pictures I had carefully uploaded to it :-(
    I won't worry about it anymore :-)

  • Received following message during installation of an iTunes update today (9/16/14): System extension cannot be used. The system extension “//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm not experienced in the inner workings of the iMac system and its programs, so please follow my train of thought as I try to find and understand your reply.
    You wrote that I should check out 'Please see - AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext error on installing iTunes update' and I did so.
    There I found your reply of 9/1014 7:06 PM to j'ski stating: 'There is a larger thread here which you may want to follow - system extension cannot be used AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext .'
    And an earlier Post by Greg Earle of 9/10/14 5:57 PM stating: ' You would have been better off doing open /System/Library/Extensions and then finding the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext kernel extension icon in the Finder window that came up and moving it to the Trash.'
    And a subsequent Post on 9/15/14 at 2:59 PM by Rob Maurer stating: 'This method worked perfectly for me. I am on a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. Dragged the kext file to trash (I use EasyFind. Latest flash player for mac os x 10.5 8download for mac os x 10 5 8. Found the file, Revealed in Finder, dragged to Trash, entered admin password when requested). Downloaded iTunes 11.4 from the website. Installed from that download. Checked for that kext file in EasyFind again and found it had a creation date of 7/29/14 (the trashed one had a creation date from 2009). No more error messages. ITunes opens fine. Everything good. Will not update on my MacBook Pro until they fix this issue.
    All of which leave me wondering - what is your answer/recommendation? Do I drag the kext file to trash, download iTunes 11.4 from the website and install it from that download, check for that kext file again to see if it has a later date than the initial one? And, if so, seed if iTunes opens okay or not? And if so, do not update iTunes again until Apple fixes whatever is wrong?

  • I received this error message: The system extension '/System/Library/Extensions/ACard6280ATA.kext' was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling .. . What is this about? What is ACard6280ATA.kext?

    I'm still with you, just having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that you reinstalled OS X, which is like shooting a mosquito with a cruise missile, yet the problem remains.
    Here is the KB article for your review: Reinstalling Mac OS X
    Admittedly there is not much to it, but it should have eradicated the problem.
    I would guess that the 17 'hp_' messages have something to do with Hewlett-Packard and in fact I do use an HP printer with the computer. I uninstalled the printer software and reinstalled it. The printer seems to work fine, but the kernel extension error messages still keep appearing. I'm inclined just to delete these 17 kernel extensions and then, if the printer doesn't work correctly, unintall and reinstall the printer software again. Sound sensible?
    It certainly does. The only thing I can think of is that the OS reinstallation did not recognize those kernel extensions and left them untouched, AND the HP uninstaller did not remove them, AND the HP installer did not perform correctly. Having suffered through several HP botched software attempts I tend to believe that remains a posssibility.
    If you are so inclined, I would remove the troublesome .kext files as you say, then reboot. Be prepared for the printer to stop working, but once you remove them try the printer again anyway. The vast majority of printers do not require any specific downloads since their drivers are already built into OS X.
    As a last resort try reinstalling OS X again (I know..) and run Software Update to bring everything up to date. Apple released some new printer drivers a few weeks ago.
    Finally, if this doesn't work post the same question as a new topic since I am out of ideas. A new topic will get more attention than unresolved questions with responses.

  • Os x 10.12. Hopefully, i can get some help in resloving the issue below. i updated my harddrive at Techserve and have been getting this message evertime i try to install a new software. Help..
    The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

    That is a third-party extension, so I would reinstall that software unless you wish to try repairing the permissions on the extension yourself using the Terminal.

  • When installing iPhoto 9.2.1 software update, I got this pop up.
    'The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireWDHID.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.'
    Is this a minor matter that can be ignored? Any suggestions on what I should do?

    The faster (and way more recommended) way to do this is to run a permissions repair from disk utility.
    Open Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility -> Click on Macintosh HD -> then in the right pane there is a 'Repair Disk Permissions' button click on this. It should repair all permissions to their proper settings.
    Another option is to manually repair them on this kext only. This involves opening Terminal and running the following commands.
    sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireWDHID.kext
    sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireWDHID.kext
    Otherwise if you don't have any firewire devices it doesn't really matter.

  • I need to install update on Quicktime. I have version 7.6.6. Updates are supposed to be installed automatically. Macbook Pro 10.6.8 can't update to current version? I am told:

    You can use Pacifist to just install that kext if you want from that update file..

  • What's up with this? The drive in question is an 80gb IDE external drive, USB connected.
    System extension cannot be used
    The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

    Could be many things, we should start with this..
    'Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.'
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Anyone find a fix for this? Most programs installed invoke this error.
    The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/ZD1211Mac.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

    That driver appears to be for a Zydas wireless usb adapter. Zydas has been through a couple of different acquisitions and no updates appear to be available, so you'll probably need to delete that extension.
    Regards.
