Panic Kernel Help Please.....I'm Stuck.

Here is the Panic Kernel I am receiving:
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/state95/IMG_0053.jpg
I removed the 1Gb memory I added about 2 years ago.
I then tried repairing the disk using the First Aid option of the Disk Utility on the Installation Disk.
After receiving several of these errors:

This screen then appeared:
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/state95/IMG_0051.jpg
I'm stuck. What do I do now? I don't have a problem formatting the drive to zeros and then reinstalling the OS but first I want to backup my files. Any idea on how I can do this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3) The Installation Disk just says OS 10.3. I'm not sure if it's 10.3.something though or just 10.3.

Hi Deb.
Thanks, once again.
I hope this post will cover the last of my questions.
Previously Corenlius stated the drive I need for the 12" PowerBook is a 2.5" ATA/IDE drive. I found the following Seagate drives in stock at a store near my home. However, I want to make sure they are ATA/IDE drives. According to the website for the store they fall under the category "PATA & IDE drives". When I look at the enlarged photo of the drives I notice the boxes say "Ultra ADA/100".

Do you know if these drives will work for me? If so I'll be deciding between:
- 100Gb @ 7200RPM for 113.95
- 120Gb @ 5400RPM for 109.95
- 160Gb @ 5400RPM for 129.95
Now, hopefully this is my last question.
DiskWarrior built a new directory but could not replace the original directory due to a hard disk malfunctions(which is why I'm purchasing a new hard disk drive). So I used my current PowerBook as a Target Disk and backed up all the data from the Preview Disk DiskWarrior created. Now the folders are all on my current laptop but I cannot open some of them them because I "do not have sufficient access privileges". Do you know how I can change this so I can open them on my current PowerBook?
Thanks,
Mike

  • After update Mac Pro boots to grey screen with Kernel Panic. Help please.

    It would be great if someone can help me out. Yesterday I did a software update of iTunes and osx (it said to ease update to Lion) and now my Mac Pro tower (MacPro3,1) boots to a grey screen, kernel panic, telling me that I need to power down and restart my machine. I can boot into osx via the safe mode but unfortunately I don't have an install disk to repair the system disk. What are my options?
    The machine appears to work in safe mode. I have tried resetting the PRAM. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    In safe mode, I get this error report.

    and here is my system software overview once I have booted into osx in safe mode.
    System Software Overview:
      System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
      Kernel Version: Darwin 10.8.0
      Boot Volume: System
      Boot Mode: Safe
      Computer Name: qdise’s MacPro3,1
      User Name: q2dise (dty61)
      Secure Virtual Memory: Not Enabled
      64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No
      Time since boot: 16 minutes

    There's no point in reinstalling the same driver. It hasn't changed. It's incompatible with the OS update. Contact the device manufacturer to see if there's a driver update. In the meantime, you should physically remove the device so the driver doesn't load. If you uninstall the driver and leave the device installed, that might also cause a panic.

  • Macbook kernel panic during boot + other kernel panics! HELP PLEASE

    Hello,
    I have a w macbook 2,0 ghz duo (2006 edition), 2gb ram, original HD. Operating system: Tiger OsX (updated).
    A couple of weeks ago my mb started to display (during a normal session and even after a stand-by) a big message on screen "Please hold down the power button to restart your computer" etc = kernel panic message.
    I took a look at the panic.log file and it said:
    BSD process name corresponding to current thread: firefox-bin
    So I thought there was something with firefox and, to resolve definetely this problems, I checked my hd using utility then I tried to install Leopard using the DVD(updated again). After installing Leopard I did not receive kernel panic errors related to firefox-bin thread but now I still have kernel panic problems.
    These are the error messages:
    1. When I boot up the mb, it shows the "restart" message or it FREEZES (doesn't boot up)
    2. The log says that the panic error is related to "ACPI" and Io.apple.firewirefamily (what is it???)
    3. The panic.log file just says:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x001A9C68): Kernel trap at 0x001a77f5, type 14=page fault, registers:

    Not seeing any software culprits in your panic log, but boot into Safe Boot and see if the KPs stop. Hold Shift down at startup and give it much longer to boot than normal.
    KPs often can be caused by faulty RAM.

    If this is an isolated incident, I would ignore it.  If not, then there may be third party applications that are a problem or a corrupt OSX among other possibilities.

    any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton to whoever helps!!
    Jason

    Hi Jason--
    Hmm. I'd look at a couple of things. First, most of your panics mention USB in the backtrace, so have you recently installed a game controller or joystick or something like that? Especially if you had to install a driver for it (and had to reboot the computer, which would most likely mean a kernel extension).
    The particular panic you're getting comes from the part of the operating system that manages memory allocation for peripherals. It's saying that it can't allocate that memory because the memory it's trying to allocate can't be used ("not mapped for I/O" in your log).
    Disconnect all USB peripherals except your keyboard and mouse and see if you get the panic. And if you can borrow a keyboard and mouse from someone, you might try that, too.
    Finally, this page has information on how to resolve kernel panics. He recommends you follow the procedures there in order. I especially agree with his suggestion to run the Apple Hardware Test first to rule out hardware failures.

    First, you need to realize that ASC is not an Apple tech support portal. It's a discussion site, to which anyone can contribute. As a result, you will sometimes get responses that are unhelpful. For example, if you ask a question related to kernel panics, you may get answers from people who like to give advice, but don't know what a kernel panic is or what can cause it. Keep that in mind.
    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.
    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 (see below.)
    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 another 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 actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), 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. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
    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 evade Apple's controls.         
    4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. 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. How do you know whether a source 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 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.
    5. 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 never a good idea, and Java's developers have had a lot of trouble 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, Java on the Web is 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.
    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. In Safari, this is done by unchecking the box marked Enable Java in the Security tab of the preferences dialog.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a specific task, enable Java only when needed for the task and disable it immediately when done. Close all other browser windows and tabs, and don't visit any other sites while Java is active. Never enable Java on a public web page that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, password-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 these guidelines, and you’ll be practically as safe from malware as you can be.
    6. 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.
    7. 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.
    8. The greatest harm done by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may behave in ways that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
    9. 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.

  • Help please. Ipad2 stuck in portrait rotation

    Hi. I got an ipad2 for Christmas. It works fine, kids love it etc but since Tuesday it has been stuck in the portrait orientation. I find it easier to work landscape and I player is much better landscape.
    I have tried the suggestions I've already found on here. The slide switch was on mute, changed it to screen position and unlocked screen and it is now back to mute. Have double clicked the home button and the circle icon at the far side is also unlocked. There is no locked icon on the screen. Have put to sleep and have held lock and home button down to reset. None of it works.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks

    There's a fairly standard sequence of recommended steps to run through when an app and/or the iPad itself isn't working as it should. They're laid out in the Troubleshooting section of your User's Manual and have been extensively quoted in these and other forums.
    In a case like yours I'd start by powering down, completely, using the red slider, and then after essentially no delay booting it back up again. I'd actually expect that to work but, if it didn't, I'd next try a Reset.
    Your text hints that you might have tried that already but, given that you didn't use the term and also didn't describe what you actually did, for a Reset (also Hard Reset, System Reset, etc.) you basically
                   a. Press & hold both the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons, ignoring the appearanceof the red Power Off slider bar, until
                   b. It disappears and is replaced by the white Apple logo, at which point the buttons are released and you allow a normal powerup sequence to continue.
    Still not working? Steps after that are limited: You have to re-load the OS and if that doesn't work then you're talking to Apple about repairs or replacements.

    Im not sure why but my memory reader thing i downloaded is always red and low and see a kernel task running? i have noticed slow systems recently which is not good.
    Would anyone be so kind as to help a newbee fix this? i have ran a few reports from the activity monitor (spin dump and diagnostics) but have no clue what now
    Any help please?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Serious? Man , i have only just got it back! its had a new logic board fitted and also a new led display board and its only 5 months old!
    I really don't want to take this back if its something simple, but if you guys think something is not right then i will.
    issues are intermit freezing when just surfing the net ( hard reset needed )
    And also now these intermit kernel panics for no reason, again just surfing the net. ( hard reset needed )
    Apple are lucky i have a sense of humour!

  • I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands

    I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
    initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .

    You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying.    If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

    Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities.  In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs.  You may need them.

  • How do I retrieve photos/data etc. from my iPhone 4 before a completely erasing restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen!  Help please!!!

    I connected my iPhone 4 to my PC to sync all my new info to iTunes/PC, but it said it was not able to recognize it and needs to do a complete restore!  How do I retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 before a complete restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen and won't do anything else!  I tried rebooting the phone (holding the top button and the home button and the SAME "connect to iTunes" screen comes up.  If I restore, I will lose ALL my unsynced photos, apps, and data from the past week (INCLUDING pics from a concert WITH band members!) Help please!  MAYDAY!  My prior backup does NOT contain these photos/apps/data! Ahh!!!!

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • Macbook stuck on white screen with apple logo. help please

    I have a macbook (black model) and while I was surfing on internet it is frozen. so I shut it down and restarted. When I restarted, it stuck on white screen with gray apple logo and seems like booting but nothing happens.
    after that, I restarted again and put installation disc (leopard) without pressing any key and it opened normally. I backed up os with time machine but in one hour it is frozen again.
    restarted again but this time it did not boot normally. so i tried booting from cd with c key, it opened installation screen. I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.
    After all, I tried to erase and install system several times, but after language section when I click agree to terms and conditions, mac freeze again.
    So, I do not know what to do. Any help please?
    Note: I already tried PRM and Safe Mode. (after safe mode it took me to installation screen again and nothing changed.)
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Uptade: Also, opened system profiler and clicked on Serial-ATA, it seems loading but do not show any info. stucked again! help please

    HI,
    *"I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported."*
    You need to select "MacintoshHD 10.5.8 not "disc image" in order to run Disk Utility and Verify and if necessary, Repair the disk.
    That's why you are seeing this dialog.
    *are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.*
    Also, run the Apple Hardware Test.
