Corrupted iTunes and CDSAudioCaptureSupport
Help requested.
4 days ago I received my new iMac 2.8GHz 27" i7 and started to migrate from my old MacBook Pro. I used the migration function over firewire and at the end of the process I received the following message:
'System extension cannot be used
The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/CDSAudioCaptureSupport.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update'
I clicked OK and then went looking for further information on google and these support forums. There is very little mentioned about CDSAudioCaptureSupport that I could find. Maybe it has something to do with Toast Titanium 10?
So I didn't find an answer to this issue or a way to reinstall the CDSAudioCaptureSupport extension. I tried opening a few applications and everything seemed to be working until I came to open iTunes.
When I try to start iTunes (as installed when the iMac was shipped to me, I get the following message:
'This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.'
I reinstalled iTunes for the system disk provided by Apple but I still get the same error. I have also reformatted my hard drive and done a vanilla reinstall of the OSX10.6.2 - again from the disk provided by Apple. I have also limited the migration assistant and now not moved any user accounts over - I just migrated the applications and machine settings.
Still I got the same 2 messages listed above.
Each reinstall is taking hours to execute and now after 4 days I am getting frustrated by such a poor experience!
The only other information I can give is that I want to keep my all of my personal information such as mail, iTunes music, address book, etc. and reinstalling all of my applications would be a complicated and time consuming task. One that I want to avoid if possible.
Does anyone know what to do from here?
Thanks,
Steve
