That's a kernel panic and indicates some sort of problem either with the computer's hardware or software. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. It would help to post the panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic.
Meanwhile, try booting the computers into Safe Mode then restarting normally. If this is simply a disk repair or cache file problem then this may fix it.
You can also try creating a new admin account on each computer then booting into the new account. This would help determine if the problem is related to a bad file in the user accounts.

    There are many possible reasons for that.
    Most likely a corrupted cookie or cache file for that site may be responsible.
    On the Safari menu bar got to Safari -> Empty Cache
    Then go to Safari -> Preferences and click on the 3rd symbol from right.
    Click on Details -> type the name of the particular site (e.g. facebook) in the search field and delete all upcoming entry's.

    So just to be clear on a few things:
    Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
    Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
    Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
    I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)
    Thanks again

    HI..
    Read here >  Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5
    Your Mac meets the requirements but make sure there's enough free disk space.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

    My battery is not charging
    Confirm the correct wattage AC adapter for the computer. A power adapter rated for a lower wattage than is required for the system may not reliably charge the computer. For assistance identifying the proper adapter, review Intel Based Mac notebooks: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord--US. Additional adapter troubleshooting is available in Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. If issues persist please reset the SMC.

  • How do I transfer files from one iMac to another

    I have an Intel iMac (2007ish) that has started playing up.  I can no longer start the machine but it will start in Target Disk Mode.
    I have just bought another iMac (brand new 2014), have set it up and was wondering how I now get the files from one to the other.  Usually I know Migration Assistant can be used but as I cannot start the other machine I cannot use this option.  So far as I know, the only option now is to use the Target Disk Mode feature but how do I now get the files and what files do I need to get?
    Any help and advice would be appreciated for my predicament?
    Many thanks.
    Stefan

    If you backed up the old machine using Time Machine or created a bootable clone then simply connect the old machine backup HD to the new machine and launch Migration Assistant (Applications - Utilities - Migration Assistant) and follow the on-screen prompts. If you never created a back up then follow Rudegar's advice and whatever you do begin backing up the new machine immediately. There is absolutely no reason for not having a backup!

  • PGP encryption and moving of a file from one system to another

    Hi All,
    Could you please provide me the necessary information in setting up the below jobs in Redwood CPS.
    a) How can i do pgp encryption to a file in a SAP system?.  Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
    b) How can i do pgp encryption to a file in a non SAP system?.  Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
    b) Can i move a file from one SAP system  to another SAP system(example ECC to BI)?. If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
    c) Can i move a file from a SAP system  to a Non- SAP system?.  If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
    d) Can i move a file from a Non-SAP system  to another Non- SAP system?.  If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
    e)How can i ftp a file  and move it to a different network?. Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
    Thank you in advance.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ramana

    Hi Ramana,
    a) You have a file in an SAP system that you want to encrypt, I you have the full path to the file, you can create and use an appropriate external command to perform the encryption, unless you know of an ABAP program to do that. Once you know which option you have, you can either schedule SAP_AbapRun to run the ABAP to encrypt the file, or SAP_ExternalCommandRun if you have an external command defined for the process.
    b) On the target system, you install a platform agent (license required) and check which command you have for pgp encryption. On Unix, you would use gpg. Simply create a BASH job definition with a String parameter named File and fill the following source: gpg -e -u `whoami` -r [email protected] <${File} > $File"_encrypted"
    b2) Talk to your SAP Basis team, you could use SAP CTS/STMS for that,  you could integrate that into CPS
    c)I imaging the file is an output of an ABAP program ? Run the ABAP program from within CPS with SAP_AbapRun, then the file will be on the CPS server, you can then copy the file to the target host, again, platform agents required on CPS system. You can use FTP, sFTP, SCP, NFS, CIFS (Windows share) whatever your platform requires.
    d) Platform agents required on source system. Target system must have windows share/NFS/SSHD/FTP or whatever you could use for file transfers
    e)Please see the documentation on jftp.

  • Even before I opened Firefox, I got a message saying that Firefox was open and it had to be closed or I had to restart my computer; what can be done to resolve this problem?

    This is a continual problem. Even when I close Firefox and try to access it again, it takes minutes before I can access it again. Today was the first time that I received the window saying that another window of Firefox had to be closed before I could access Firefox when I hadn't even tried to access it to begin with. I don't want to have to restart my computer every time I try to access Firefox each day. Please help!

    [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#close_firefox Item #38]: (#close_firefox)
    :<b>Closing Firefox</b>, avoid getting <b>Firefox already running</b> messages:&nbsp; To properly shutdown Firefox when multiple windows or closing the last window use File → Exit/Quit (or Firefox button → Exit).&nbsp; Closing Firefox with the [X] in the upper right corner closes the window ("Ctrl+W") but that does not necessarily close Firefox if it has subtasks running.&nbsp; If you want to close and reopen Firefox use the "Restart" within Add-ons if you made a change requiring a restart, or install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/ Restartless Restart]" ("Ctrl+Alt+R") which will allow you to take Firefox down and restart without having to check the Windows Task Manager to see if Firefox first actually ended. (See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs Firefox hangs])
    Closing Firefox properly will not completely eliminate having to use the Windows Task Manager to close Firefox on Windows but it will certainly reduce the need to use it often.

    You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • HT1212 i downloaded the ios 7 and i had never put a passcode for my ipad mini; when the device was updated to ios 7 it is asking me for a passcode. what can i do?

    What do i have to do if my ipad after installing the ios7 do not enter because of asking for a passcode and i've never put a passcode and its a new ipad?

    Hi Naqqash,
    An idea for to set-up, you could insert a seperate case structure where the Case Selector is based on a comparison between the "Get Date/Time String" or a timestamp and 1pm, and when that's true, the case launches a sub VI that checks this process, displays the result, then closes when done. In that subVI, go to File>>VI Properties>>Window Appearance>>Custom>>Customize and then check the box 'Show front panel when called'.

  • Mac OS X update (3/19/13) crashes my iMac.  After installing an automatic OS X update, every time I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to print to my Epson R1800 printer (which worked perfectly just before the update), my entire system crashes.

    On 3/19/13 I was printing photos on my Epson R1800 printer using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 with no problems.  I got an automatic Apple OS X software update which I installed.  Ever since, when I try to print photos my iMac crashes.  How can I unistall the OS X update?

    What you are experiencing is called a Kernel Panic and is NOT caused by the OS, they can be difficult to troubleshoot as they can be software or hardware relate. The X Labs writes and excellent article about them, in Kernel Panics. Please read it carefully. In order to troubleshoot your KP you need to post your last KP log, Apple provides instructions for doing so in How to log a kernel panic. Please follow the instructions in that article and post your complete KP report.
    As mentioned previously it is NOT caused by OS X! There are common causes, including RAM issues, outdated applications, hard disks failing etc. By posting your KP log we can look at it and determine if it's software and if it is then point  you to what is causing the issue.

  • Is it possible to import and export Config Toll Configuration  from one sys

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to import and export Config Toll Configuration  from one system to Another system (QUS/PRD), for especific service.
    Kindly let me know the pro and corn of it and step by step process
    Thanks alot for your time.
    Thanks
    AB

    Yes...It is certainly possible but then you would need to bring OS level j2ee filestructure as well and there are lots of changes at OS level in *.properties file and then at configtool level changes related to hostname, system numbers and port numbers etc.
    This is not much difficult but not impossible also if you do it very carefully. Please note that SAP DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS METHOD.
    alternatively, you can use sapinst to export-import j2ee filesystem from source to target which inturn would require to do configtool export/import and then changes at configtool level.
    Do let us know your requirement so that we cud help you in case you are facing any issues.
    cheers !!!

  • I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this?

    I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.
