Hi,

So I recently bought a flashed Geforce GTX 780 for my 2010 Mac Pro running Mavericks, after installing the Cuda driver 6.5.37 and the web driver 334.01.03f01 everything worked fine.

Today I installed Apple's latest security update 2015-002 1.0, and now the NVIDIA web driver is incompatible and it's forced me to use the default driver which means I can't use half my programs.

Can anyone else confirm this issue? Are there any options here? My day job depends on getting this up and running ASAP so any assistance would be appreciated.

Just move the NVDAStartup kext from extensions to the desktop. Right click the kext and choose Show Package Contents and drill into the contents folder. Then, open info.plist and change the NVDARequiredOS to 14C1510. Install the kext with your favourite kext installer and reboot.
It's a fix until nvidia releases new drivers. The security update changed the build number although it did not change the version.

Hi, I checked in Library/Extentions and I didn't have a NVDAStartup.kext there. I tried downloading one and I opened the package contents but there was no info.plist file. I'm new to all of this so excuse my ignorance.
 
sytem/libary/extensions....

thanks so much worked perfect :)

"The security update changed the build number although it did not change the version."
Thats why i did without being afraid

but so the driver should work like before

take a look in this files content - (remove"Fixxed_") - use kextbeast or so - should work

I downloaded your NVDAStartup.kext and tried to install with KextBeast and KextUtility, but it said that installation failed due to the extension not being from an identified developer. Here's the message:

"The kernel extension at “/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext” can't be loaded because it is from an unidentified developer. Extensions loaded from /Library/Extensions must be signed by identified developers.

Please contact the kernel extension vendor for updated software."
 
y ccause u need ur kext and edit plist... mine is for 10102

How did you install Mavericks on a PC if you don't even know the basics? I think you have to do a lot of reading. This should be a 2 min job including reboot and it's obvious that you will struggle doing it.
Go read on how to install kexts from unknown developers.

I'm not being funny but you are not trying that hard, if you have an error the first port of call would be to google the error and find out why you are having that error
