Extension IOStorageFamily.kext corrupt after cleaning ...
Hi lads,
looking for an easy fix 😉
This is what I did:
Had a couple of very old apps on my iMac, which didn't run anymore. So I uninstalled iFamily (an application for family trees) and my "friendly" 😠 CleanMyMac pops up to help me to uninstall this app.
This is what happens:
When I try to mount any external hard / flash drive, nothings shows, but I get an error msg. that my extension System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext is corrupt and needs reinstalling (or contact the vendor).
Also my system only restarts in safe mode (holding shift at start-up) otherwise I get a no-entry sign.
Now I've seen a similar problem here:

but I'm no good with X11 / terminal / UNIX.
My question:
Can I use UNIX command kextutil to fix my problem or is there another way apart from a system install???
Thx, any help is appreciated.
