10.4.6 causing multiple restarts

I just updated two G4 PowerBooks to 10.4.6 using Software Update. After installing, one of them spontaneously restarted three times before reaching a stable desktop. The one restarted itself twice and then presented Mac OS X Setup Assistant, like a new Mac - though I just quit it and the expected desktop and everything was back to normal afterwards.
Scary. But no harm done (I hope).

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303411
With the Mac OS X 10.4.6 system software update, PowerPC-based Macs will restart twice, instead of once, after the initial installation.
not sure why yours restarted 3 times though...

  • Retention guarantee causing multiple DML operations to fail ?

    WARNING: Enabling retention guarantee can cause multiple DML operations to fail. Use with caution.

    From the Ora Docs (10.2) Section - Introduction to Automatic Undo Management (Undo Retention) states the above.
    This would mean that other DML operations if requiring space in undo, would therefore fail with a ORA-30036 error. Is this correct understanding ?
    If so then one way to avoid this ORA error is to have autoextend defined. ??

Not all DML operations requiring undo space would fail; only those transactions for which there is no space left in undo tablespace would fail. And yes this is one of the possible error messages that one can get.

  • What causes multiple entries in my calender events in my iPhone 4s?

    What causes multiple entries in my calender events on my iPhone 4s?

    Hi jeffpetit,
    Here is a link that will help you troubleshoot this issue with the camera on your iPhone:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Bridge causes system restart

    When I close Bridge my system automatically reboots.  It started doing this after working for about a year in CS4 and now continues with CS5.  Has anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks Wolf, I had rolled back my driver and the crashes stopped.  Now
    I've just lost my flick pan and animated zoom capability.  Not as big a
    deal but I was getting to enjoy those capabilities.

    Bridge causes system restart
    What GPU and driver version are you running?
    I had to roll back my driver on a GeForce 7300 GS GPU to version 182.50 in
    order to prevent Bridge CS4 from crashing Windows when exiting Bridge.
    That driver version also seems stable on CS5 except that large Photoshop
    brushes show only partially (which is indicative of bad driver).
    I aint going to change drivers just yet since CS4 works OK with it. (My
    CS5 install is just a trial.)

  • What would cause multiple error lines to appear using validator logic

    What would cause multiple errors to appear for a single line as shown below. I coded Regular Expression Validator with a specific matching pattern and all the patterns work fine. When I key in an invalid pattern on a row I get the following errors dislayed. Why am I getting multiple error lines instead of one. Also when the data in the field is in error the field gets cleared. How do I fix this problem?

    Looks as though my RegEx script is not coded properly so it is causing the problem.
    This is my regex script
    8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
    I changed the script above to the following to slowly build the script back to get rid of these multiple errors that are appearing. When I set my regex script to the following then I just get the one error line.
    ([0-9]{4})
    I thought the regex script was working but when I key an invalid value I get 8 error lines as shown above. That should not be happening. This regex script
    8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
    is to perform the following logic:
    The field I am editing is 4 characters long.
    1) The first character must be an 8 and the next 3 charaters must be any character from 0-9
    OR
    2) The first character must be an 8, the next 0-2 characters must be any character from 0-9, the next non-blank character after any digits must be a wild card character of %
    Examples: any number from 8000-8999, 8%, 8n%, 8nn% where n is any number from 0-9

  • Exchange 2013 Hybrid with O365 - migrated user causes admin restart prompt for multiple other users

    Greetings!  We are in the process of doing some testing and migration in a hybrid deployment with Office365 and Exchange on premise.
    I just completed a migration for an on-premise user.  We have, so far, migrated 3 users in the IT department as initial testing.  The first two migrations were very cut and dry.  The third migration; as soon as I finalized the batch, multiple
    people on our team received messages about having to restart Outlook.  These were users that had not been migrated and were not part of any migration batch, but were members of the same department.  I am trying to understand, under what circumstance
    could a migration of a user cause other users who are still on premise to receive the "admin made changes" prompt in Outlook.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Joe,
    Could you share the migration batch? Note, please hide if there are any sensitive information like domain name and server name.

  • IMac 24" 3.06Ghz crashes intermittently, causes endless restarts

    Hi All,
    I have a 24-inch, 3.06 Ghz Intel iMac that has been crashing intermittently for months now. The crashes seem to happen at mostly random times, but occur more frequently during processor-intensive tasks. Specifically, the crashes almost always happen when I'm playing a game (World of Warcraft), doing a system update thatbrequires a restart or doing more than one thing at a time in iTunes (syncing my iPad, listening to music and downloading multiple podcasts).
    When the crashes happen, everything freezes up and I get the spinning beach ball. No applications are responsive and I'm unable to bring up the Force Quit window. At this point, I have no choice but to do a hard shutdown (by holding the power button). For the next several minutes after the shutdown, starting up the computer causes a series of endless restarts on a blank black screen. The only way to get the computer to start up normally again is to leave it off for a few minutes. Then it starts up without a problem.
    I'm stumped. Thank you all for any help you can provide.
    - Mike

    The CPU is fine. The HDD is pretty warm - 120F would be more comfortable (mine is 123F with nothing much going on), but the fan is trying to keep it down so the system is doing what it should.
    If your HD stays that hot constantly, rather than only when being very active (reindexing Spotlight, running a backup, or other continuous activity) then I'd start to worry some. Generally HDs don't like going over 130F.

  • Nokia E71 sync cause multiple calender entries

    I've got a Nokia E71 and every time I sync between my PV (Windows XP) , Nokia E71 and my iMac i seem to get multiple calender instances of mainly repeating calender notes as birthdays and national holidays. I've tried to remove all the contacts with birthdays from my PC. When re-syncing the multiple calendar items will show up again. Seems that the PC and Mac read the calendar notes differently and hence after every synchronization add the same calendar series of i.e birtdays. Any solution to this annoying problem ?

    if you are only having a few of the units with the challenges, check to see if there has been any other apps installed that may have affected the MfE that you installed on them to interface wtih your exchange server.
    if there are no challenges there, then i would suggest uninstalling the MfE on the devices and then rebooting the device and then reinstalling it back on the device and setting it up again.
    i had the problem only one time in the past and changing the settings seemed not to fix it at all.  but restarting the process did.
    also, there could have been an issue with the coveraget those employees were in with thier handsets which could have prevented the unit from syncing, causing internal confusion, then trying again and backlogging the transfer....just a theory...as sometimes the network locks the data connection and while it shows that it is connected, it is frozen.
    may be a good idea to see where those affected units are "travleing" in relationship to each other to see if the coverage as stated above is an issue.

  • Premiere CC 2014 causing auto-restart?

    I have a MacPro 3,1 with 10.10 and 32GB RAM.
    During editing in Premiere CC 2014, the computer has auto-restarted twice in the past hour.  Both times, I was doing something different in Premiere (dragging several clips forward in time & rendering all video) so I'm unsure as to what triggered it.  The footage is stable and on a clean, problem-free external RAID.  I also noticed that now, two of my 4GB DIMMs are not recognized. (note: all DIMMs have tested positively with Rember, and are of the same manufacturer)  In the meantime, I have removed the two DIMMs in question and now have four DIMMs on the top riser, two on bottom.  The two slots that have caused problems seem to be fine now, but with every restart, things changes—that's why I do not believe the issue to be the actual DIMMs themselves.
    I have the crash report and need to rule out issues in the crash report if there are any.  I will post the report if the smarter people out there believe it to be necessary.  I HOPE the problem is with Premiere, the RAM and not one of the risers.

    I had a similar problem with Arri Amira Prores 4444 footage and found out the cause from the Arri website:
    "When AMIRA footage is ingested into Premiere Pro, the appropriate LUT from the camera is automatically applied as a Lumetri effect, which can be toggled off if necessary."
    The way to switch it off is to right-click the imported master clip(s) and go "Remove Masterclip Effects" , the cause of the baked-in look.
    Hope that helps.

  • Starting HAL causes multiple keypresses

    Whenever I start HAL either from an already running system or at boot it causes every keyboard press to register multiple times. I think it might be related to hotplugging and possibly since I have the keyboard and such configured manually through xorg.conf

    There is something in the wiki related to that problem.  It might be the solution you are looking for.

  • Installing Premiere Pro CC causes a restart

    Hello,
    I wanted to download the Trial Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC a few days ago. Every time it loads, the Computer does a restart after a while so I´m not able to install the program. Sometimes the Adobe CC Desktop doesn`t work well either. Why can`t I choose in which folder the CC installs itself? A reinstall didn`t work.
    I own a Windows 8.1 64-bit pc.
    Best regards from Germany!

    Nobody can tell you anything without exact system info and the event logs. If it "restarts after a while" (of using Premiere pro) then your system is overheating or suffering a memory corruption, which could have all sorts of causes, none of which actually have anything to do with Adobe.

    I accidentally synced and erased conents on my ipod. Is it possible to get my data back?
    Not very likely, even with the use of recovery software. If the content that was on your iPod is not in your iTunes library, then it looks like you may be out of luck. Sorry.

  • Multiple packages . . . multiple restarts?

    When using ARD to push out multiple OS update packages -- many of which would require an immediate restart if installed separately -- is it okay to install them all sequentially, in one task, and put off the restart until all finish?
    My concern is that if one update is intended to modify or add to an earlier one, the changes might not take effect if the Mac wasn't restarted between updates.
    Would it be wiser to restart after installing each update?
    Can anyone assure me this is NOT necessary?
    Thanks

    Depends on the update(s). If one is a prerequisite for another, then they need to be installed in the proper order and restarted before installing the other(s). But generally, if you know that the updates would show up together in Apple's software update, then it is ok to install them together.
    You can run softwareupdate -l on the client to see what Apple would do.

  • Pressing play in Keynote causes computer restart

    HELP, as I was putting together a presentation today on Keynote I went to check my progress by playing it in presentation mode, but when I hit the play button the computer completely restarted!! (And I lost a lot of my work, my fault for not saving) How do I fix this? Is this the result of updating to Leopard? - Yesterday when working on the same presentation I did not have these problems?

    Hi, thanks for looking at it. Honestly, the problem is so intermittent that I can't say for sure, but I did not have the impression that it was any particular slide that corresponded to the shutdown. In the meantime, I did manage to create and use a short slideshow with various animations without a single shutdown (and plenty of "hit play" opportunities for it to happen).
    Because I fear the repercussions of these instant shutdowns on my system, I'm not keen to push it, but perhaps what I will do is install Leopard on a testing partition and try for a while to see if I can make the shutdown repeat (though that will require finding a block of time to do it).
    When I had heat-related shutdowns of a similar nature, I found that it was almost impossible to get any information about the cause of the shutdown -- console logging seems to be uninformative. Is there a debugging tool that anyone can recommend to monitor more verbosely and actively what the system is doing, so that after a shutdown there might be a hope of looking at the logs to see what happened last? (Maybe something like what "Sample Process" does in Activity Monitor, except running constantly?)
