Jul 26, 2011 Replacing the machkernel file with the 10.6.7 version from my emergency back-up restored everything to normal. I experienced the same issue after applying the MBP Software Update 1.4 which installed a newer version of the mach kernel, turned out the new Combo updater has the same newer version of that file. Step by step instructions: 1. Open Finder and browse to the location of your downloaded Leawo installer, double click the dmg file. Double-click Leawo setup file to start installation. As the program opens you may be warned: this is an application downloaded from the internet, are you sure you want to open it?

But third-party drivers might still be available for older devices that do require a driver. Always check for software updates before connecting the device to your Mac for the first time.
