install the driver automatically.

The PL-2303 Mac X driver only supports V10.1.X so you need to upgrade
first your OS X by SOFTWARE UPGRADE.

and mouse since these devices are not supported.

or "kextunload ProlificUsbSerial.kext".
5. Remove driveríAto type "rm -r PL2303.kext" or
"rm -r ProlificUsbSerial.kext".
Q4: After I completed installation of the PL-2303 MAC X driver under OS
10.2, a warning will appear saying that "ProlificUSBSerial.kext" has
problems and there are three buttons that can be selected.
What does this problem mean?
A: This problem occurs because the PL-2303 MAC X driver was compiled
under OS 10.1.X. So when you install the driver under OS 10.2, it will
show this warning message. User just need to select the "Fix and Use"
button to make it work under OS 10.2.X.
