OS 10.13.3 Blocked Extensions

[marh3]

I'm on a late 2011 MacBook Pro 8,1 with i5 processor. I am trying to connect an audio interface. I have been told that it is due to KEXTs being blocked. In OS 10.13.6 in the Security and Privacy tab Privacy Menu, the last blocked application is supposed to show. There should be a button to allow it as an exception. OS 10.13.3 Security feature added in High Sierra does not allow for this. There must be a way to allow for exceptions.

Hello,

Which brand/model audio interface?

In the Security & Privacy preference pane in your screenshot, try clicking on the General tab and you should see the allow button for the last software being blocked.

Hi Cory, I just spotted your reply. The interface is a Presonus FireStudio Mobile.
In OS 10.13.3 the button does not appear. I believe it was added in 10.13.6,
but Apple is not allowing me to update the OS any further.

Hi,

Maybe this article will help: PreSonus Knowledge Base: Installation Issues with Universal Control on High Sierra Mac OSX 10.13
