Updated - nVidia 10.9.3 & 10.9.4 web driver modded to skip system check.

not really, i'm more just after the tinker, i do use After effects, but pretty basic stuff and my laptops from 2010, so it's getting a bit long in the tooth any how.

How did you get on, did it work for you?

Any updates for yosemite drivers?

The terminal fix worked on Yosemite, but the .3 update broke it. nVidia hasn't come out with a new driver yet.

Funny enough, with the .2 update my drivers updated themselves through the nVidia preferences panel with no issues.

Edit: decide to press the update button and sure enough, the driver's out.

Edit #2: Just installed the driver through the nVidia control panel with no issues.

that's cool :) will try it out, thanks
 
I have just upgraded my Mac Pro 2009 by adding a 750ti card and since I have never ever had to update any drivers on my Mac before I didn't think about it when I upgraded to 10.10.4 beta. So, no I can't use my new card :(

I downloaded the latest web driver 346.01.02f02 and tried the terminal hack. After changing both the suggested variable in the script and a the setting that checked for "10.10.03" I managed to install the driver on 10.10.4, but after a reboot it still says the driver is invalid.

Anyone know how to get my card working in 10.10.4?

JUst follow the instructions earlier in this thread. It really isn't hard and takes all of 2 minutes.

Are you talking about this hack?
Expand the .pkg

Code:
pkgutil --expand ~/Desktop/WebDriver-334.01.01f01.pkg ~/Desktop/WebDriver
use TextWrangler or other editor to edit var found_hardware = 0 to

Code:
var found_hardware = 1
Delete old .pkg then run this command:

Code:
pkgutil --flatten ~/Desktop/WebDriver ~/Desktop/WebDriver-334.01.01f01.pkg

If so - I have tried that. If I just did this one change in the script it would not install. I changed the OS version and build info also in the script and then I could install, but after a restart it still said it wasn't compatible.

I'd missed that, but you're running a beta OS. nVidia is not likely to publish a working driver until the actual release.

No, I don't expect that they will, so that was why I was looking for a hack of some kind :)

Ideally you should edit the original package by yourself... it's not hard to do.

But that shouldn't break your computer, right? I mean if it explicitly said something like: Hey don´t install! it will break your computer if you don´t compile it yourself I would had compiled it myself...

How can I fix it? I am currently using it with the Internet Restore option...

Wait.

The one that I used was not yours... Besides I have already formatted my drive and reinstalled OS X. I used your version and I successfully installed it.

Your advice seems having worked. I did the found_hardware = 1 trick on the Distribution file for OSX 10.10.1. After having updated to OSX 10.10.3, the WebDriver stopped working, so I repeated the procedure, but the package refused to install. Fortunately, I could easily update the driver at nVidia's Preferences pane. Thanks!

I think my system got messed up while either updating to a new version or during the process of doing it. I wasn't able to install the Service Pack update from Office 2011 either so it was quite fortunate what happened (got a backup of my most important files).

Thanks for the updated version ;)
