Recommended Posts

Hi, i bought this:

http://de.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-2-Port-Hidden-Inside-USB-3-0-USB3-0-to-Expresscard-Express-Card-Adapter-Converter/890018770.html

 

I also read here:

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6562-gmyle-expresscard-34mm-to-usb-30/

and downloaded GenericUSBXHCI.kext.zip

 

Where do i need to put this kext file? It´s still in Downloads now. 

 

Maybe i don´t need this file or another one?

 

The card is recognized as you can see in the picture but it´s not reading from my USB 2.0 HD. As i read USB 3.0 is able to read from USB 2.0 devices, isn´t it?

You can place/copy/move the kext to /System/Library/Extensions or /Library/Extensions, then repair permissions and rebuild the cache. On next reboot, the kext will load and your card should be working as you expect.

 

To repair permissions, open up Terminal and enter the following commands:

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions (or /Library/Extensions)
sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions (or /Library/Extensions)

To rebuild the cache, enter the following commands:

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions (or /Library/Extensions)
sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
