while trying to re-active the four fingers multi-touch feature after an update to 10.5.8, both my keyboard and my trackpad are not working. I tried to replace the AppleUSBMultitoch.kext but still- I have an alert that this file is not installed correctly (every time I turn on the macbook pro)

Someone know what I need to do in order to repair the keyboard & trackpad?
(on Safe mode both working)

it sounds to be a permission issue. I am only familiar with the concept though, so hopefully a better unix user can help you.

Read this link
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-bsd-listing-permissions-of-file/

And Post the permissions associated with the file.

"-bash: $: command not found"
it doesn't work!
and yes, the problem seems to be a permission issue. when I'm doing "repair disk permissions" -it's always repair the same things, and the AppleUSBMultitouch.kext is not on that list!

what directory is the multitouch file in?
the AppleUSBMultitouch.kext is in /system/Library/Extensions/
(Just where it should be)
 
then you need to change the directory before executing ls -l
it should be simple to change, just google it
then post your ls l for the right directory

EDIT: cd /system/Library/Extensions/ should work

what? why should I change the directory? doesn't it supposed to be in system/Library/Extensions/ ??
I'm sorry about those question, I'm kind of new in all of these things!
and, how can I change the directory to cd?
again, sorry about the stupid questions, I'm just trying to understand what I'm doing here!
THANK YOU!

Well that appears to have the problem instead of being root and wheel, its Adva and staff

I found this:
next you need to fix permissions so the kext can be executed by OS user (root/system)
cd /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 KextName.kext
chown -R 0:0 KextName.kext (this will set the ownership on files to system user (root))
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (this will reset all kext caching done by OSX)
Click to expand...

try that but change "KextName.kext" for "AppleUSBMultitouch.kext". No quotes! and Do not copy the stuff in parenthesis. The second line is setting permissions, since it was not commented. And the first line you know changes the directory.

Thats the article. You will probably need to reboot after afterward because these are apparently part of the drivers.

You might also consider checking out this tool
http://cheetha.net/
but try it in the terminal first

If this does not fix everything,
cd /system/Library/Extensions/

type it into the terminal

then

ls -l

then post back again afterward
 
Thanks for helping me! I finally got it right! (after 2 times of Combo update and a lot of terminal things..)

THANK YOU!! :)
