Imac Retina 5k restarted unexpectedly

Today, whilst editing photos in the new Photos app, my iMac restarted itself. I pressed either the keyboard or the touchpad to rotate a photo and the screen went black (with a click sound), then the Apple logo appeared as the machine rebooted.
There's a chance this could have been a very brief (1 second) power cut, but I've never experienced a power cut like that before. I suspect it was a fault with the computer.
Is there any way of determining this. I've heard of people submitting crash reports - Is this something I should do? It's a new machine (still under Apple Care warranty) so I'm keen to let Apple know if this

The issue has occurred again. This time I was editing a file name in the finder and the iMac just shut down and rebooted with a crash report message. I took a copy of the crash report which I can share here but I'm presuming this is not necessarily useful.
The only consistency between the two crashes is that the shut down seems to occur the instance I press a key on the keyboard (this time I control-clicked a file).
I have spoken again to Apple Care who got me to verify the disk (no problems) and delete some preferences files such as 'LaunchDaemons' and they told me to keep an eye on it.
I'm bumping this topic in case anybody else is experiencing the same issues and may be able to shed light on the problem.
I have some peripherals plugged in such as an external hard drive (My Passport) and an old LED Apple Studio Dispplay from about 2001. Not sure if they could be at the root of this?
Obviously any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

  • IMac Retina has started shutting down several times a day, generating a "Panic Report".

    Although I have had a new iMac Retina since October, it is only within the past few weeks that I have started trying to use it for most purposes. Initially, it seemed to be working OK.  But during the past week, it has started to do peculiar things, such as:
    1. Now, several times a day, it shuts down unexpectedly.  When I boot it back up, it displays a message saying that it was shut down because of a problem.  Then, when I click on the window for a report of the problem, it generates a long “Panic Report”.
    2.  When it boots back up, it automatically opens several windows that I did not have open when it shut down — Safari, Firefox, Excel, Word, etc.
    3. I have 2 external 1gb drives connected for data, and 2 external 4gb drives connected for Time Machine backups.  All of the drives have been formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  However, although Finder originally showed all 4 of those drives, Finder now always omits a particular one of the 1gb drives. Yet,  iDrive and Time Machine continue to recognize all 4 drives.
    4. Several times over the past week, it suddenly popped up a “Jabber" window containing a long transcript of a series of iPhone texts that I exchanged in January.  However, I never installed Jabber (to my knowledge), and it doesn’t show as currently installed on any of my devices.
    I just ran EtreCheck, and this is the report:

  • IMac retina - screen random stripes / grain

    Hi,
    Recently I found an unexpected and weird issue during my work on my iMac, without any reason the screen got lots of grain and diagonal stripes in random way.
    It doesn't seem to be an hardware problem, since I got some screenshots (check below) and the disturbs are visible. After a reboot issue didn't happened again but I'm interested to understand what caused it.
    My specs are:
    Yosemite 10.10.2
    iMac Retina 5K 27-inch, Late 2014
    3.5 Ghz i5
    8 GB
    SSD 512GB
    AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MB

    You have a 1 year warranty, take the machine in for service immediately.

  • IMac Retina 5K - Yosemite 10.10.2 - Update has killed my WiFi! (Before everything worked fine on 10.10.1)

    Hello,
    URGENT HELP NEEDED !
    Imac 2014 Retina 5k with 4ghz Intel Core and 16GB Ram
    Router : Netopia
    Have upgraded this morning my iMac Retina to Yosemite 10.10.2. Before upgrade Wifi worked great, now since upgrade, I lose the wifi connection after a few seconds ! To get it back I have to (a) Reset the router (b) delete the wifi network from Network settings (c) restart my iMac
    I then get the internet back for a period going from 20 seconds to about 5 minutes max!
    In the router log I see on he MAC address of the iMac the computer connect itself, and then I see a message that says "Suspect Connection" and then another for the MAC address of the iMac being "Connection closed".
    No tempory fixes work! I have discussed this with my internet provider (Swisscom) and they have done everything they can do on their side (change router channels etc...) but to no avail. They say this is an Apple issue.
    I am going crazy !
    Any solution is welcome ...
    All the best,

  • 2012 Macbook pro restarts unexpectedly

    My 2012 Macbook Pro with Retina restarts unexpectedly. It might go a day or two without doing it, but then it might continually restart 5 times in an hour.  My computer screen will suddenly go black. The computer sounds like it's still running, but it wouldn't respond.  I have to hold the power button down till the computer totally shuts down, then it takes awhile to get it turn back on and it always says "your computer restarted because it has encounter a problem" or something to that effect.  and then the screen usually turns black again and i have to repeat the restart process until I can log back on.  Then I get the error report message copied below.  I would take it to an Apple store, but the closest one is 4 hours away and I don't get to the city very much.  Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

    MacBook Pro Repair Extension Program for Video Issues

  • When I go to Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    After the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 update When I go to use Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • IMac Retina shuts off USB ports when sleeping

    I have a new iMac Retina i7 with 32GB RAM running Yosemite. Approximately 60% percent of the time, when the iMac goes to sleep, it shuts off all of the USB ports. This includes dumping hard drives without properly ejecting them, as well as shutting off powered USB hubs. Switching the drives and hubs around to different ports does not help the problem, and it appears to be becoming more frequent. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    I too am having hub issues with my 5K iMac. I purchased an Amazon Basics hub, that never worked at all. I returned it and got one made by vantec. I have two external hard drives connected to it, and they always are recognized after sleep or restart. But other things get dropped, like my two printers. I seem to be able to resolve the dropped hub ports by ejecting my external hard drives and then unplugging the power to the hub, then reconnecting the power. When i do, all the indicator lights come on again, and things work.
    I am working with Vantec about this issue, they have been terrific by email, and they are offering to replace the hub. But now I am wondering if something more basic is wrong, like this SMC reset that has been mentioned in this thread. I was about to ask if that was hard to do, but I just looked at the link provided by Ralph, and doing it is easy-peasy. I will give this a try, and try to remember to report back.
    thanks, Peter

  • Win 8.1, iMac Retina 3TB Fusion, Yosemite, Boot Camp fail!

    I've got a new iMac Retina with the 3TB Fusion drive on which I wanted to install Win 8.1 using Boot Camp. I have VMWare Fusion installed and running, but figured Boot Camp might be better for my needs.
    I read the Boot Camp Assistant instructions and it looked like it would be pretty easy to install Win 8.1. WRONG!
    I hooked up a USB HD for the driver download, hooked up the USB Apple DVD drive with the Win 8.1 installer, and started up Boot Camp Assistant.
    Assistant downloaded the drivers, created the BOOTCAMP partition, then I got into the Win 8.1 installer. Reached a screeching halt when the installer got to the point of selecting where Win 8.1 would be installed. Got the error message about BOOTCAMP partition not being an NTFS drive.
    Only one button "Format" to click to make the format NTFS. Confirmed I wanted to format, saw a brief spinning wheel, then supposedly formatting was done. Now Drive 1 Partition 4 lost the "BOOTCAMP" name and displayed no name. The "Next" button wouldn't do anything. I was stuck!
    So no go on installing Win 8.1! Booting back into Yosemite and opening Disk Utility I see the Boot Camp partition, now named "untitled," identified as an NTSF volume!
    I see a number of posts here where by using Terminal it is possible to work around problems with Fusion drives and Boot Camp.
    My solution was to start Boot Camp Assistant and select the third option on the first screen to remove the Boot Camp partition. Well at least that worked!!! So I'm back to ground zero!
    For now I think I'll just surrender and wait for Apple to figure out how somebody, who doesn't want to dig deep into the bowels of Fusion drives via Terminal, can install Win 8.1 on a 3TB Fusion drive (or any Fusion Drive?).

    Thanks Loner T for your response. I don't have any third party NFTS software. At this point I don't think it is worth the effort to attempt to do anything complicated.
    I did take some screen grabs and photos as I went through the install for the fourth or fifth time.
    1) Disk Utility before start:
    2) Create the Windows partition:
    3) Initial Windows partitions:
    4) Windows message on why can't install
    5) Hit the "Format" button, and get this confirmation:
    6) Results in partition name getting wiped, and still no active "Next" button:
    7) Still can't install Windows, hit "Show Details" and get this error message.
    8) Another attempt to "Format" results in the same problem. Still can't install. Boot back into Yosemite. Here's what Disk Utility now shows -- an "untitled" NTFS volume:
    Here's the finder window showing the "untitled" volume:
    The NTFS partition is there, but the Win 8.1 installer can't use it. Yes, it makes no sense, but that's what is going on!
    Here's info from Terminal on CS I see used here if it helps any:

  • IMac will only restart or shutdown from power button.

    My iMac will only restart or shutdown from the power button, it also will not logoff users. It starts ok, but only after a hard reboot?? I have repaired permisions and no change. I have a clone I can restore from but any ideas whats up here?
    The only things that I know I have altered are deleting files saved during migration from Panther (months ago)and running Unbuntu Live CD.
    iMac G4 15 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 728ram

    Are you booting into Ubuntu Linux? Most of us here wouldn't now anything to do with it. If the problem is occurring when booted into Mac OS X, it may be a sign of data corruption in the power management and user settings. Some corruption is easy to repair such as fixing the directory (which I'd only do after a clone). Here's how according to my FAQ:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    And I assume the issue is with your iMac G4.

  • Acrobat XI Pro doesn't work on iMac Retina 5K, "An Internal error occurred"

    Please help.
    I just received my latest iMac Retina 5K 27inch and tried to install newly purchased Acrobat XI Pro, installation went ok, but it give me error message when I open the program:
    " An internal error occurred."
    I tried to install it into my old iMac 2010 and it works fine. Below are system information of my 2 x iMac, can anyone give me some advises? Thank you.

    Hi yang2898,
    If the installation went ok and you are unable to launch Acrobat then this might be due to licensing issue.
    Please check if you have full read/ write permissions to the following folders:
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
    You might also want to check in the root user account of Mac (Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X - Apple Support)

  • Brand new imac Retina and can't enter Apple Diagnostics.  Doing it wrong?

    I've had various issues with my brand new imac retina.  I've spoken with Apple Care about two of them (Finder icon issue; slow shut down) and we're working through it all trying to figure out if it's software and whether the current beta update will solve the problem when it comes out.  They've extended their 14 day exchange to 60 days for me while we sort it out.
    All said, one thing they suggested was to run the Apple Diagnostics by holding down D upon booting.  I've tried running this, it comes to a screen wanting me to pick the language, and nothing happens.  It's like it doesn't do anything upon picking the language, just sits there. 
    The Sr. Tech I was talking with just said "that's strange" but with other things we were discussing he went about focusing on the other things.
    I may try yet another separate call to discuss this with them but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has encountered/solved this issue, see if I'm going about it the wrong way.
    I'm holding down D and I'm connected by ethernet.  This is the new imac retina 5k, 2014.
    Thanks.

    That's might nice of Apple.  Personally, I would not be sorting anything out on a brand new Mac.  I would be demanding a brand new replacement.  One that is suppose to work rigiht out the  box.

    The techs wanted you to run Apple's Hardware Test.  See KB Article:  Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support
    Thanks.

  • External Hard Drive not showing up on iMac retina 5K

    Hi,
    I have an external hard disk WD Passport 500Go. It does not appear on my iMac Retina but it appears correctly on my macBook Pro.
    I have already tried several solutions but nothing seems to work :
    Not visible on the finder
    Not visible on disk utility
    Not visible after running the command diskutil list on the terminal
    I tried to do a SMC and PRAM reset but it does not change anything.
    Did someone already get the same issue or any ideas to resolve that ?
    Thanks,

    Try different cables and also reset the SMC 2-3 times following the directions in:

  • Help updating ATI graphics driver in bootcamp Windows 8.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch) with 4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and AMD Radeon R9 M295x 4096MB

    Help updating ATI graphics driver in bootcamp Windows 8.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch) with 4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and AMD Radeon R9 M295x 4096MB

    Of note there is a new AMD Catalyst Omega driver released earlier in the week that brings 5K resolution to AMD graphics cards. Here is the link (support.ad.com/en-us/download) to the AMD site. But none of these work with my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), Windows 8 bootcamp.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advace.
