Lock ups, Difficult starts, reboot/restart = shutdown

My computer locks up and will not "Restart", if I tell it to "restart" it shuts down. The "Restart" button also causes the computer to shutdown.
I checked logs and found this stuff:

I also ran a Hardware Test and all the hardware seems ok.
I've taken the battery out of the PMU and it doesn't seem to have any issues starting without that battery in place.
I'm really confused. Why all of a sudden would my computer hate me like this?

Hi, Daniel!
You can use this Apple Document to test your QS power supply with a voltmeter, without having to remove it from the Mac. It references a different model, but the only difference is that the voltage at pin 22 is 25 volts on a QuickSilver PSU rather than the 28 volts shown for the Gigabit Ethernet Mac. The procedural steps are the same...
Does the Mac restart properly with the battery removed from the logic board? Does the battery test out okay, or can you swap it with another one?

  • System lock ups / cannot start system

    Hello, I am using Slimline S5648HK.
    I have been using the PC for over a year and a half now, and 
    recently I am having trouble with the PC locking up / weird screen (Some fuzzy colors)
    and it auto reboot.
    In most cases, it occures when watching videos.
    There are times where it reboots fine, and same problem occures.
    However, most of the time it shows blank screen not recognizing the monitor
    and I need to manually shutdown the PC.
    After that, I will need to try turning on the PC several times until it shows anything.
    I believe it has something to do with the memory or overheating.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Have you recently made any software or hardware changes/updates?

  • Random Restarts and lock ups

    Hi all,
    I know there's similar threads on this, but i'm experiencing random lock ups and the phone restarting itself at random. It's the "panic.plist" crash several users have complained about. This issue mostly leads to a hardware problem according to the existing threads.
    In my case, this happens about once a month, like a handful of times ever since 12/20/2011 (date of activation). If my hardware was shot, wouldn't this happen several times a week? Several times a day?
    64 GB iPhone 4S w/ iOS 5.1.1 by the way.

    Just an update - ripped the sound card out, rebooted and installed the software for on-board sound - problem solved i can actually talk on vent and the computer boots without errors and hasnt crashed in the past week. Basically was $200 very poorly spent as i cant really be bothered ever putting it back into my system - support told me to download the latest drivers (first thing i did when i found the problem s didnt fix a thing) huge thumbs down for creative - to sum it up - use onboard sound if it works and you want a stable computer.

  • Constant stream of lock ups with Lion 10.7.2

    At my wits end since upgrading to Lion (10.7.2).   I get a constant stream of application lock ups (beach ball) on every app I try:  Firefox (8.0.1) , intermitent connectivity to Internet (although I know my connection is good); App  Store unable to connect; iTune unable to connect to store; Parallels Desktop locks up; Outlook (Office Mac 2011) locks up, Time Machine locks up, and more not mentioned.  None of these seem to occur at the same time; it's more like the app that decides to not work is random.  Firefox is good but App Store will not connect;  iTunes is good, but Firefox will not connect. 
    Each time I'm forced to restart or shutdown only to have similar, but not the same, errors after I log back on.  The errors (lock ups) started right after the upgrade and have gotten progressively worse as the days/weeks go by.  At the point now where the PC is completely unreliable.  It's a crap shoot to find out what is working and what is not.
    I've tried about everything mentioned in the forums -- verified/fixed permissions, used Mac OS install DVD to verify/fix HDD issues; no help.
    Prior to upgrade, I had zero issues running SL -- all of this started with Lion.

    To a point. It will inform you of a system update, as with Lion 10.7.2 for example, but that is not the combo update. I set my Systum Updates to install manually, if I see an OS update, I always go to
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    And choose the Combo update whice is always a little bigger, but a cumulative install as mentioned. Always appears to be more stable.
    Cheers

  • Finding the cause of total hardware lock-ups

    The new build has been running reasonably well, and I've done no major optimizing so far, and no overclocking (yet). However, I've been having infrequent and seemingly random system lock-ups that would appear to be hardware related.
    Last night was about the fourth or fifth of these. I had been working on and off throughout the day on a 4-camera multicamera project, and having no issues at all. This was a TOTALLY different multicam experience than I've had with CS4, where MC was hardly usable. Anyway, I was going to make my last few edits of the night when the system locked up--I had just started playing back a sequence when it happened. No hard drive activity, no keyboard/mouse interaction, no bluescreen--the audio that had started playback, however, got caught in a short loop and made an annoying racket. The only way to return to normal was to hard reboot with the power button depressed. No error or fault is logged in the Windows event logs, beyond the reboot which is recorded as something like, "Your system restarted, probably due to you turning it off... don't do that." The actually fault that perpetuates such a drastic action is not recorded. My initial thoughts were that the RAM has a bad chip somewhere, so I've run a memory test for over 8 hours now, and had 0 errors reported. There were no lock-ups, either--the system has been just humming along that whole time. This obviously does not rule out the RAM, but doesn't make it easy to say it's the problem, either. The only "tweak" I've made to the system is the RAM, and that's by setting the DRAM frequency to 1600MHz; nothing else has been altered in the BIOS.
    The last two lock-ups occured in one day, when I was attempting to export to an H.264 file, through the AME queue, with hardware MPE enabled. At different points in the export, the system locked, with similar results as above. After the second lock-up, I disabled GPU acceleration in PPro, and the export completed just fine. Interesting, I thought. However, I'd done other hardware MPE-assisted exports earlier that day and in previous days, with no lock-ups.
    As mentioned, I'd encountered at least one other hard freeze, and if I remember correctly, I was in Premiere but not doing anything. I'd walked away from the system for a little while, came back, and it was Living Dead on my return. I hadn't been rendering, importing, playing back, or anything else.
    I've been checking my temps with HWmonitor, and there isn't anything out of the ordinary as far as I'm aware. I'm really not stressing the system much, pretty basic and rudimentary edits. The memory test has now done about 600% coverage, and no errors. The bizarre coincidence is that these lock-ups occur when I'm in one of the Adobe programs--but I've never seen software cause a lock-up such as this before.
    So... where do I go from here? The lock-ups seem to completely happen at random, with no particular instigation. Is there some sort of other monitor software I can run in the background that might indicate hardware failures that Windows is not able to catch?
    I'm hoping you hardware gurus can shed some light on this bizarre predicament... thanks in advance for your insight.
    ADDENDUM:
    It would seem to make sense to post my hardware... duh:

    i7-930
    OCZ  Gold 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

    Well, I really wanted Jeff's suggestion to be the solution, but alas, troubles remain. And it would appear that something far more sinister is happening than flaky codecs or software.
    The good news is that I can now reliably repeat the lock-up, each and every time. The bad news is that the lock-up occurs whenever I attempt an export. I'm trying to get a 75-minute multicamera edit onto a DVD, and the moment the actual encode begins, the system goes into a hard hang. I have a number of audio clips that are being used, and I see "Adobe Premiere Pro is preparing audio for export" or something like that, and then once the video processing begins, it's curtains.
    At first, I thought it was something with the hardware MPE--I'm using a GTX 480 with the hack. Editing works well--remarkably well. Encoding is a different issue, altogether, and it doesnt' matter whether I start the export with the Queue button or the Export button. I tried disabling GPU acceleration, and at first, I thought I had solved the mystery--the encode actually began and progressed for about 30 seconds. However, inevitably it would seem, I got the same hard hang.
    The first couple "hangs" were actually system restarts; the Windows desktop would disappear, and moments later, I was back at POST. I then disabled the "Automatically restart" option in Windows, and after doing that, I simply ended up with a frozen system and desktop. I'm not sure those are coincidental, actually; I'm going to test that again this morning to see if I get the restart or the hang.
    I've been checking out my temperatures with HWMonitor, and as far as I can tell, I'm not going off the charts with temperatures. Temperatures do climb (I have HWMonitor as I start the encode) for both the CPU cores and GPU, but nothing drastic, and there is no way that it's getting too hot in the 5 seconds that the encode is running before the hang. What about the power supply? I can see wattages for the CPU fluctuating drastically as the encode tries to begin, which I would gather is SOP for the operation of a computer, but is it possible that I am getting too much/too little juice? I've got a 1000W Cooler Master PSU, the components you see listed above, and 6 hard drives--this would seem to be more than sufficient to me (for my current use), but undoubtedly, the system is pulling more watts as it starts to work harder. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can really disconnect to test this theory, since I need all of the components and hard drives connected to do anything.
    I'm at a total loss, guys, and I'm more than a little frustrated because I've got a pretty expensive paperweight sitting in my office. Unfortunately, I live in a pretty rural area, so finding a trustworthy computer tech locally is a challenge, so I'm hoping that you tech-savvy folks can through out some places to look.
    Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi... you're my only hope...
    Thanks, all...

  • Pages '08 lock ups

    A couple months ago, I started having issues with Pages '08. It would lock up while I was typing, or even something as simple as scrolling the page down. All I would get was the little rainbow wheel and a locked up document. At first I thought it was just the one file I was working on, but now it happens all the time. It locks up so bad sometimes that it forces a restart of the computer. No other programs are having this issue. Should i just reinstall Pages '08 from the disc or what. Cause this has made my main wordprocessing program completely useless. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8

    Update:
    Well I think I got it figured out. For some reason, the spell checker was causing the problem. I've always had it set to "Check spelling as you type", but for some reason that is now causing Pages to lock up. So my work around is to simply turn off the "Check Spelling as you type" option, and now there are no more lock ups.

  • Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?

    Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
    Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

    Hi-
    The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
    Noted possibilities are:
    -Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
    -firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
    -Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
    Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
    Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
    If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
    External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
    I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
    Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected.

  • 8830 Lock-ups

    My 8830 has been locking-up at least once a day, everyday this week.  The indicator light turns solid red the screen goes black.  You can't do anything with it.  I have to hard shut it down by holding the power button down for awhile.  Usually twice before it will finally shutdown.  Then have to power it up again.
    It started to do this a little over a month ago, but then I did an software update which I thought fixed it.  But now it's doing it again.
    Anyone else have this problem or a possible solution to fix it? 

    I've had an 8703e since January. It began rebooting on my on its own. It could be in the holster, sitting on the table, or in my hand being used. It did not matter. the only trends I noticed were: It seemed to do it in the evening and around 9pm CST, this is when I was texting. That stopped being a trend after a few weeks and it was doing it everyday sometimes more than once.
    I turned the phone into Verizon in February and a brand new one was sent to me. It started rebooting after several weeks and it has become more frequent lately (April). It is rare that I am using the BB so I dont beileve it has anything to do with an application. I suspect some reset signal is being sent or a system check is executed causing it to go into a reboot.
    The odd thing I have noticed is that there are blogs concerning several models that are all reporting this automatic reboot. That leads me to suspect it is something with the BB server or a hacker related issue?????

  • Issues (Lock ups) with iTunes 10.6.3

    Hi everyone!
    I've recently updated my windows 64-bit version of iTunes to 10.6.3 and ever since I'm getting slow response times (ok, that actually occured in the preceding version, too) and lock ups by not doinig anything special other than flipping through my music and deleting or adding files. I'm not even talking about synchronization with other devices here, but simple managing tasks.
    Has anybody the same issues or ist it just me. Mr. Google could not help me out on this one
    I'm pretty dissappointed and haven't had any othe bad experience with Apple yet. But this is unbearable...

    You may be seeing something like what is described in this Apple article -> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    If it's what you're seeing, you can try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix or folllow along with the article.
    1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
    2. Enter the following command: 
    netsh winsock reset
    3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
    Note:  If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

  • Multiple Panics, Lock Ups and Freezes

    My MacBook Pro running 10.8.3 has been having some random shut downs and lock ups lately, the latest of which took the internal boot drive totally offline. I was able to recover it after booting to my external recovery drive and running DiskWarrior 4 as Disk Utility simply said I needed to repair the drive before mounting it, but then said it was unrepairable after attempting to do so.
    After the DiskWarrior repair, the Mac booted from it's internal drive like there was nothing wrong, but an hour or so later, I had another lock up where everything froze up and was unresponsive and then after a restart I got another hour or so before it shut itself down and then restarted itself, so I'm obviously less than thrilled with the situation.
    This is the factory drive which came with the MacBook Pro when purchased new in January of this year, so I have a hard time believing the drive is physically bad, though I guess anything is possible. Another thing that has me thinking it's not the hardware is that the machine runs fine when booted to the external recovery drive and has no errors or any of the symptoms I've been experiencing.
    Anyway, I've been looking at the panic reports, but I'm honestly not well versed in what any of this means, so I'm hoping one of the experts can chime in and maybe point me in the right direction as I'm running out of ideas :/

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail in a particular case due to human error.
    For most purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, including App Store products, can be considered safe. Note, however, that at least one trojan for iOS (not for OS X) was briefly distributed by a developer in Russia through the iTunes App Store. That store is under the same oversight by Apple as the Mac App Store, so the protection shouldn't be considered absolute. App Store products may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click anything reflexively.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. Beyond XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT, there’s no evidence of any benefit from other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
    Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
    Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
    Even signed applications should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts or your location for no apparent reason.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software  ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
    ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
    9. The greatest harm done by security software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but if they get a false sense of security from it, they may feel free to do things that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
    10. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

  • Constant lock ups with Leopard!

    I find myself having to hold in the power button to turn my computer off almost everyday now! I am not sure what is causing these constant lock ups! Ever since upgrading to Leopard have I noticed this. Yesterday It happened when trying to open iTunes. Today it happened when I clicked on MAIL. The icon just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. I hit FORCE QUIT and that doesn't work either.
    Do I need to clear something out or get rid of something? Even when I try to restart my computer sometimes that will lock up too! The only way to get around any of these issues is to hold in the power button to turn the whole computer off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Once its back on, then I have full functionality out the computer again but its getting on my nerves that I have to do this all to often!
    I think they are some cool features with Leopard but I am experiencing way to many bugs/problems with it to be 100% happy with it.
    As I am writing this posting, I just clicked on my APPLE icon in the top left of the screen and then clicked ABOUT THIS MAC to make sure I was using the most current version, and NOTHING happened!

    Try reinstalling. It sounds like you did an upgrade from an earlier version that may have been corrupt to start with. You may be able to do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Verify Disk results, confusing.. Can they be the cause of system lock ups?

    I have been experiencing strange freezes on my Mac Pro 2008 system.
    My boot disk is a 50% full 128GB SSD from Crucial and is running beautifully fast however for the past couple of weeks my system often freezes for anything from 3 seconds to 30 seconds and then the Finder restarts.
    After the Finder restarts everything continues running smoothly. As if nothing ever happend, no error reports, no apps crashed, nothing.
    I have verified disk permissions and verified the disk itself in Disk Utility but I am not quite sure what these results mean and if they could be the cause of these random lock ups.
    here are the results:
    Verify permissions for “Boot Disk”
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Group differs on "private/etc/hostconfig", should be 0, group is 20.
    Permissions verification complete
    Verifying volume “Boot Disk”
    Performing live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Missing thread record (id = 5888152)
    Incorrect number of thread records
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Invalid volume directory count
    (It should be 184294 instead of 184295)
    Checking extended attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Boot Disk was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    I would really appreciate it if someone that knows their way around this stuff could help me troubleshoot this.
    As for the problem of the system locking up it does not happen in the same application consistently.
    Often it happens in Firefox but it could equally often happen when working in Photoshop, browsing files in the Finder or trying to access the Spotlight search via the keyboard shortcut.
    When the system locks up I get the spinning beach ball and I can still move the mouse and click and even still access CMD+TAB app switcher, switch spaces and all those things, just applications become non responsive.
    If you need any more details please let me know.
    Thanks for reading,
    Jannis

    These are innocuous errors that you may safely ignore. However the disk error is a problem. Do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

    Hi Guys,
    I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
    This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
    Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

    You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
    Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
    I have bottom left set to spaces
    Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)

  • Can't reboot or shutdown

    It looks to me like there's a crash in Xorg?? And possibly
    something bad going on with rpcbind?
    Is this a known issue? It's interesting that it has only recently
    started happening to me, and on two totally unrelated
    machines (one work machine and one home machine).
    If this isn't a known issue, any tips on further steps I can take
    for debugging?
    Thanks!

    -- Reboot --
    It looks to me like there's a crash in Xorg?? And possibly
    something bad going on with rpcbind?
    Is this a known issue? It's interesting that it has only recently
    started happening to me, and on two totally unrelated
    machines (one work machine and one home machine).
    If this isn't a known issue, any tips on further steps I can take
    for debugging?
    Thanks!
    Im honestly not sure and havent had this issue, but I can give you some troubleshooting ideas. You havent given us much to go on as to what level of troubleshooting youve already done, so Ill offer the basics.
    First, start disabling non-essential services with systemd (by disable I mean not stop but DISABLE where next boot these services wont be loaded). I would start by trying to disable as many of YOUR services (that is, ones that you use on all the machines that are having issues that arent vital for Arch to boot). Reboot (it will hang the first time since the service thats hanging on reboot will likely still hang), and then try to reboot again. If this fixes the reboot issue, enable (or perhaps just start them) half of the ones you disabled, and see if the problem comes back. Just run:
    systemctl
    as root to get a list of units/services.
    If nothing with services seems to fix it, I would start looking at modules. Sometimes people require certain modules to be blacklisted in order for things like rebooting to work (admittedly it seems to me this was more an issue when distros used init as opposed to systemd, but I could be wrong- maybe its just a testament to Linus and Co and their work on the kernel). It would be impossible for me to help you here as you have not given us any data on what your systems are, lsmod/lspci printouts, or any other information. If this is basic stuff youve tried, or if you try it now, let us know how it goes and we might be able to help you...
