    Hi

    I have a strange problem. I have a 2010 17" MCP that I am attempting to install the latest Rocket driver into (v 1.3.5). Problem is that even after the installer gives me a success notice and I go through the customary shut down and wait 1 min. and restart the driver does not show up in my mac info extensions pane. Hence I can not get my mobile rocket to work....Really strange thing is the .kext file is showing up in my System/library/extensions folder. Dang thing doesn't seem to want to take.

    macbook pro6.1
    core i7
    2.66GHz
    2 cores
    4Gb ram

    SMC 1.57f16

    anyone one out there with this problem? and i have repaired permisions as well with no luck.

    thanks in advance

    did you contact RED support first? try emailing deanan@red.com?

    Should really give them a crack before posting this in the COMPLAINTS section. ;)
    Kind regards,

    Well... yes, I have been going through tech support with Jonathan at RED and Devon at Maxx for about a month now. I am using Red User as a last resort really. I am hoping that someone with a similar set up can confirm that either they have not had this problem or yes they have and here is the fix. I am thinking it is a driver installation problem and as such maybe an MCP issue. Thoughts?

    Thanks in advance

    Forgot to mention that both Jonathan and Devon have been super generous with their time and effort on trying to figure this problem out. Thanks to you both.
