iodyne provides a system extension to enable unique functionality for your iodyne device, including Thunderbolt NVMe Multipathing and Storage Handoff for Pro Data, and Find My and Digital Label customization for Pro Mini. We'll guide you through the installation steps here, based on your Mac hardware.

For Mac computers with Apple Silicon only, this requires modifying Startup Security Policy before installation to only enable authenticated system extensions to load. Although this setting is labeled “Reduced Security” to indicate that a non-Apple extension will load, this change does not affect System Integrity Protection or other macOS Security features.

For all Mac computers running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, you will need to allow the system extension to load from Privacy & Security System Settings during installation.

For Mac Computers With Apple Silicon Only

  1. Shut down your Mac from the Apple  menu.
  2. Press and hold the power or Touch ID button to launch into Recovery Mode. Release the button when the screen reads “Loading startup options…”
    Startup Security Utility displays “Loading startup options…”
  3. Click Options, then click Continue. If prompted, enter the password for an Admin account.
    Cursor selects Options to launch Recovery Mode
  4. In macOS Recovery, select Startup Security Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Selecting the startup disk
  5. Click the Security Policy… button to modify its settings.
  6. Change the Security Policy from Full Security to Reduced Security, enable the option to “Allow user management of system extensions from identified developers”, then click OK. Note: This policy change only allows authenticated system extensions to load, and does not otherwise affect system security. For more detailed information on security policies, see Apple’s support article.
    Selecting Reduced Security policy, then “Allow user management of system extensions from identified developers”
  7. Enter an Admin password when prompted, then click Continue.
  8. Restart your Mac from the Apple  menu for the changes to take effect, then follow the instructions below to install the software.
     

For All Mac Computers

  1. Launch iodyne.pkg from the install volume, and follow the normal installation process.

     

  2. Enter an Admin password or use Touch ID to authenticate when prompted, then click Continue. Proceed through all the installation steps.

  3. iodyne Install notifies you that upon installation, macOS may prompt you to enable the system extension. Click OK to install the extension.

  4. Upon installation, macOS may notify you that a System Extension has been blocked from loading. Open Privacy & Security System Settings by clicking Open Security Settings when prompted, or from the Apple  menu if not prompted, to permit installation to complete.

  5. Select Privacy & Security in the sidebar and scroll down to the Security section, (beneath Privacy), and click Allow next to the notification that reads “System software from developer ‘iodyne, LLC’ was blocked from loading.” to permit the system extension to load. Note: The Allow button may disappear automatically if not acknowledged within 30 minutes. If this notification is not present, restart your Mac, and return to the previous step.

  6. Restart your computer when prompted to load the system software.
  7. Following restart, launch iodyne.app from the Applications folder, approve the License Agreement and register with iodyne Cloud, then verify that your Pro Data device is visible from the Usage tab or the Devices menu.
