If you haven't done this before you might want to wait and read the comments of those who try it to make sure there aren't any pitfalls. I've done this two or three times in ten years and they went fine but I made sure to have a complete system backup around before attempting it.

kext files can render your Mac non-bootable. This is where I throw out the big caution flag and remind you that editing. [ crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. If everything went well - this was the case on my MacBook Pro - the external drive should work right away. Then launch Kext Utility to clear caches and repair permissions, and restart the Mac.

If everything is OK, Mac OS X will ask for a password.

Once it is done on the two chains, just save and replace the original file AppleStorageDrivers.kext by the new.

Normally, just use the beginning of the identifier and it should be enough, so : MacBook, MacPro, iMac, etc. Pay attention to spaces, do not put any between MacBook and Pro. In my case, I simply replaced MacBookAir by MacBookPro to keep a file of the same length.

You must replace one of the values by your model identifier.

By searching the file, you should find two chains of this type: Supported Mac Models MacBookAir Macmini Macmini1 Macmini2.

Then go to /Contents/MacOS/ and edit the file AppleUSBODD with Hex Fiend.

Then go to /Contents/PlugIns/, right-click on AppleUSBODD.kext and choose 'Show package contents' on that file.

Go to /System/Library/Extensions/, right-click on AppleStorageDrivers.kext and choose 'Show package contents.'.

We have to edit a driver file, as follows: I use Kext Utility (search for the correct version for your OS version), but it can be done by hand or with others.

The tests were carried out under OS X Lion, but should work on Leopard and Snow Leopard.ДЄs far as I know, the easiest way to check if the hack is possible is starting up the Mac while pressing the Option key with the drive connected if the player turns on, it should work.ДЇor the modification itself, a file editor (I use Hex Fiend) and a tool that simplifies the update of.

I could not test the handling on many machines I had a 2009 17-inch MacBook Pro (when working), a 2006 MacBook (which does not work) and a 2010 Mac mini on which the hack is unnecessary. But finally, I found it to be more practical than the other drives I tested. It also has two drawbacks: it is quite expensive and its USB cable is ridiculously short and non-removable. It also uses a slot-in, more convenient than fragile drawers, it can play a DVD without changing the DVD drive, as it is considered as 'Apple-supplied drive' by the system and responds to the Eject button on Apple keyboards. The first one is that it is quite nice-looking. It was long believed it was due to a hardware limitation, but it is actually due to Mac OS X, as we shall see.ДЇirst of all, why use the Apple drive? There are several reasons.
