10.5.2 upgraders read here - reboot "loop"

I just upgraded a Mac Mini (Core 2 1.6) to 10.5.2 here at work today. The machine went from 10.4.11 to 10.5 via an OS upgrade (not an erase and install). After installing the update the machine rebooted itself 5 times (never making it to the desktop). On the last bootup the machine made it back to the desktop. It now appears to be fine.
So, long story short don't panic if your machine reboots itself a few times. It (may) be ok!

this happened to me also. 4 reboots rather than 5 but still... Maybe because I used the combo update?

  • IPhone stuck in reboot loop - too many apps installed?

    Hi guys!
    Starting some months ago, I've had nothing but problems with my iPhone. However, I've been dealing with most of these or even solved them.
    But now I'm stuck on a reboot loop for a few days and don't know what to do.
    When did it start? I think it was in May when I first got panic.plist, ResetCounter and SpringBoard-CrashLogs under "Diagnostics and Usage". Following this, everytime I rebooted my phone or the battery was empty, it could take some more minutes than normal for my iPhone to boot. This loading time increased and increased, in October it once took more than two days for my iPhone to reboot. I now have really thousands of those ErrorLogs. The Apple support on the phone couldn't help me either. Additionally, the phone performed some cruel changes I can't explain: Once the language was changed, once the photo gallery had to be restored (the iPhone did that on its own).
    However, sometime in November the iPhone crashed, and I was already thinking that it would now last a few days until I could use it again. But somehow it was done within 15 minutes. Without any error or reboot loop. The last two months I haven't had any problems with this until the battery was empty three days ago.
    Since then, I have had the iPhone plugged in so the battery doesn't get empty and it's stuck on the bright Apple logo. After about 210 seconds the logo gets dark, then the screen is completely black and it's starting the same procedure again. Sometimes I get the vibration, sometimes the loading circle (white wheel of death!), but everytime it just starts over again.
    I am pretty sure this problem appears because I have more than 1300 apps installed (yes, this is a very huge number, but I remember Steve Jobs saying that, with the folders in iOS 4, it would be possible to have a few thousand apps installed), 4000+ photos, and so on. I am pretty sure it's not a hardware, but a software problem. In detail, it's about the SpringBoard. The iPhone 4S only has 512MB RAM, so it's hard for it to load 1300+ app icons into its memory (which it has to because the SpringBoard has to run without any lags). Only in some cases it's able to boot that up, but I have absolutely no idea which cases these are and why it has run well for the last two months, but beginning with the new year stopped to work.
    Furthermore, the panic.plist entries all say that the problem is a watchdog timeout. Apple's iOS seems to allow the devices only to take up to two minutes (always around 120 seconds in the CrashLogs) to boot up, then probably another 120 seconds to launch the SpringBoard process (which explains the watchdog timeouts in the SpringBoard-CrashLogs).
    I will not restore the iPhone because I unfortunately haven't backed up for a long time and there have been many data changes since the last backup.
    So altogether, I tried to collect all the information I know here, but that's really not enough. Apple unlikely wants to help me, the phone support was really nice, but even asked his superior, who couldn't help either.
    My questions to you folks now are: Do you have any more information regarding panic.plist's, watchdog timeouts or reboot loops?
    What would your advice be? Any chance to get onto my data and back it up? Or is waiting the best solution?
    Would it be better to try several hard resets, or let the battery run empty and start the whole process again, or just let the phone plugged in so it tries to reboot on and on until it's hopefully successful sometime?
    And: Would it maybe increase the loading time if I would take the SIM card out of the iPhone, so the chance to have an successful try would be higher?
    Note: I am still using iOS 5.1.1 because I am completely sure that I'd have to buy an iPhone 5 to run 1300+ apps on iOS 6.

    Okay, some more information about this.
    Apparently there is a 'watchdog' that listens whether the iPhone's software responds or not. If it doesn't, it forces a restart, and also creates a panic.plist entry (under Diagnostics). Unfortunately the responding time is only 120 seconds. The problem I have now is the so called 'Application Map'. To ensure a smooth browsing through the different screen filled with apps, this map is regenerated everytime the user installs a new app or deletes one. Because I have more than 1300 apps installed, generating this Application Map usually takes more than two minutes. I can only hope that sometime in the next days my iPhone will be able to do this in less than 120 seconds (like it has done that several times before).
    I still can't explain why everything had been working great during the last two months. I have probably installed some new apps, but also deleted other ones, so the number of total apps didn't really increase heavily.
    However, I've read about some possible solutions to this problem (without restoring - which would solve the problem only temporarily anyway):
    Hard-resetting the iPhone until the screen is completely black, then wait a few minutes, then turn the device on. It's possible that this has to be repeated several times, but for the user who posted this it resolved the issue.
    For all the (in this case lucky) guys with a jailbreak: SSH into the iPhone, then temporarily move the watchdog located under /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/mobilewatchdog.bundle to a different folder, the iPhone will boot up after a few minutes. Then just move the watchdog back. It's a shame that apparently jailbreak users can resolve this issue, while normal users can't.
    I also want to note that this problem has been appearing since iOS 2, which came out more than four years ago. It would be really no big deal for Apple developers to change the 120 seconds to e.g. 300 or even more. I've found hundreds of threads, not only here, where users complain about exactly the same issue. I don't have any hope that an Apple employee will ever read this, but if so, please keep that in mind. I don't understand why Apple has done nothing to solve this issue.
    However, if you have any more ideas, please reply here. If there's anyone around here who has managed to successfully install more than 1300 apps on his iPhone (or iPod touch), please post that.

  • Intel iMac stuck in reboot loop

    Since the last few days, my 6 month old Intel iMac is stuck in a reboot loop.
    Configuration:
    Model Name:          iMac
    Model Identifier:          iMac12,1
    Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
    Processor Speed:          2.5 GHz
    Number of Processors:          1
    Total Number of Cores:          4
    OS: 10.6.8 (with patches applied as they become avaliable)
    It is connected to a UPS at all times.
    I always put it to sleep at night. Sometimes it stays in the Sleep mode for a couple of days (i travel and wife does not use for some time). But it always would "wake" up from Sleep on a keyboard touch. Magic mouse battery died a few days ago, so put in a new pair of battery, had the usual problem of "pairing", fixed that and continued on.
    (Coincidentally, it almost also marks where my problems started).
    Now, when i press any key, the iMac reboots. And then just before it looks like it will show the wallpaper, it reboots. and this continues on - sometimes 10-15 times. I press the power key and switch it OFF. Press the power key again, no go - stuck in the reboot loop. Run the Apple Hardware Test (exhaustive one included - it reports no issue found). Do a SMC reset (take off the power cord from the back of the iMac for 35 seconds) and put it back. Switch off the mouse and attach a USB mouse and press the Shift key to boot into the Safe mode. This works! Installed Pacifist to check for any non-Apple kernel extensions, none found...
    Since AHT reports all fine - can hardware be ruled out?
    Could it be the magic mouse? Need to try it (just wary of the reboot loop )?
    If it is the mouse, is it covered in the 12 month initial warranty (I am in India)?
    Console log reports this line:

    Is it the HDD?
    Any/all help is appreciated. I am going to carry it in to an Apple Care tomorrow, but was curious to see what the community had to say.
    Thanks,

  • PRS-T1 stuck in infinite reboot loop after failed firmware update

    Hi,
    I tried to update the firmware, but failed when updating to version 1.0.07.05070. Tried to 2 times. The first time it failed I simply tried again. The second time, it took a lot longer to reach the failed to update message, but it did cause the ereader to reboot.
    Now, it's stuck in an infinite reboot loop on the "Opening book" page. The progress bar on that page stays completely empty, lasts for about 30 seconds, and reboots again. This will go one until the battery is dead or indefinitely if plugged in. 
    I have tried pressing the Home + Menu buttons, but they seem to have no effect.
    Please advise if there is anything I can try to revive it?
    Thanks in advanced.
    David
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Kiroken,
    Here is what I have observed:
    - After a hard boot (reset + power button during 3+ seconds), if I don't do anything, it will reboot every ~30seconds.
    - If I press and hold the Home and Menu buttons, no effect. The same as if I didn't press anything.
    - If I press the Forward + Back buttons (2 & 4), it does not reboot after 30 seconds. Instead, the orange light on the power button blink every ~2-3 seconds.
    - Any other key combinations that I have tried have no effect.
    I have tried with and without several rescue sdcard. No difference. No improvement. In every case, the computer never sees the reader. If plugged into the power outlet, it seems like the battery charges alright. It does not appear to charge if plugged into USB port.
    That's all I know. If I can't fix it, I might be forced to turn it into a coaster or maybe a cutting board for the kitchen.

  • IPod touch 4g 6.1.6 stuck in reboot loop after trying to restore

    My ipod touch 4g has a really bad battery and only works if you have it plugged in and charging, but I've never had this problem before. I unplugged it from where it was charging and it died, of course. But when I plugged it into my computer to sync it, it started an endless reboot loop with the apple logo. I tried putting it into dfu mode and restoring it, I've tried doing it on three other macs, and the I've let the battery drain since it dies when I unplug it. Still dont know what the problem is. I cant take it to apple cause I dont have apple care on it and they cant help because the battery doesnt work anyway. Help is much appriciated.

    See if y misse anything here:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You do not need AppleCare and it is free.

  • Downloading app and now it is in a reboot loop

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Yup...Safe Mode:

    If your BB OS is not corrupted, that should allow you to remove the latest installed app. If your BB OS is, however, corrupted, then a whole different set of activities will be warranted.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Endless reboot loop iphone 4s

    The story is, put them ios 6 .., test the week, then decided to 5.1.1 - put and here begins the endless reboot loop ...

    You're not making much sense. If you installed the iOS 6 beta, you will hve to take your question to the discussion group provided for registered developers to discuss it.
    Beta software can not be discussed in the public forums.
    If you are not a registered developer, you are out of luck (not to mention, a thief).

  • SOLUTION for the never ending reboot loop when charging

    I used my iPad until the battery was completely flat, then when I went to charge it, it got stuck in the never ending reboot loop where it shows the Apple logo for about 30 seconds, then shows the home screen for a split second before shutting down and repeating the whole process again and again.
    So here's what you need to do to fix this problem without having to restore or plug into iTunes.
    1. Plug in the charger
    2. When the Apple logo appears, unplug the charger
    3. As soon as you see the home screen appear, plug the charger back in. You need to do this quickly as the home screen only shows for a split second
    4. The loading wheel should appear and shut down the iPad
    5. Leave the iPad for a good 30mins or so just to get some battery life into before you start using it again.
    And that's it!

    Figured I'd start recording the errors I get in the Installer Log:

  • Mac Mini, Yosemite reboot loop (** GPU Hardware VM is disabled)

    I have a mid-2011 Mac Mini that has started to reboot spontaneously. I have ruled out hard drive and replaced RAM, but this is still happening. After several of these, the machine gets stuck in a reboot loop, from which it doesn't recover. I managed to get video of it in verbose mode, and the last line is:

    The machine will run (seemingly) indefinitely in Safe Mode. Anyone have any ideas? This feels like it might be a GPU issue to me, but the fact is it does seem to have started since I upgraded to Yosemite.

    Thanks Brett, but I'm quite well past all of the suggestions in that page. Hence my post.
    The OS is not actually booting, and certainly isn't telling me it recovered from a crash. As I said in my post, "I have ruled out hard drive and replaced RAM, but this is still happening. After several of these, the machine gets stuck in a reboot loop, from which it doesn't recover."
    I have filmed it in verbose mode in order to catch the last log line. I am able to run commands in single user mode.

  • Neverending Reboot loop

    Hello I have a real weird problem,
    I've updated my Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.1 and now in an neverending reboot loop. My MacBook (2Ghz Core Duo, 2 GB Ram) starts, then I get a grey screen with Apple Logo, then after 2 minutes, the computer reboots and so one....
    To stop this (infinite) reboot loop I need to put the Leopard DVD in the drive and wait for an unknown time of reboots to finally get the login screen. After that I can log in and use Leopard without any problem.
    I have no clue, what is going wrong, I've checked the Startupitems ( none, deactivated the Time Machine)and reset PRAM several times...
    I'm really upset because I really don't know why the MacBook is rebooting and needs the Leopard DVD to correctly boot ???
    Thanks a lot for your help !

    You have to stop here. Never modify an OS that is not working properly!
    Install of Leopard with Update 10.5.2 : endless boot loop
    Sometimes "You need to restart your computer" message
    OK, we knew it would not help.
    Clean install of Tiger: works wonderful
    Clean install of Tiger + Upgrade to Leopard : endless boot loop
    Something is wrong with one or more of your Tiger apps.
    Once started (after a random number of minutes, going from 5 to 20 minutes of reboot loops) Leopard works without any problem and is very fast.
    Bad RAM???
    I bought my MacBook in June 2006 and it has 2Ghz and 2 GB Ram. Apple Hardware Check was also ok.
    Here is an excerpt of a "strange" message coming when I boot in verbose mode
    BSM Auditing present and then reboots
    panic cpu 0 caller 0x001A7BED) : Kernel Trap at 0x001a1ca2
    Backtrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0
    BSP process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task
    Mac OS version:
    Not yet set
    kernel Version:
    Darwin Kernel Version 9.10.0
    System model name: MacBook 1,1
    I'm really disappointed. It seems as if Leopard can't boot correctly with early MacBooks !
    What else could I do ?
    Sounds like RAM going bad or a HD going bad.
    You have done marvelous sleuthing. I am quite sure you have some kind of marginal hardware problem that does not show up all the time. Beware that Leopard is a very demanding system on hardware. Is all your RAM from Apple?

  • P6N SLI Platinum – endless reboot loop. Need help!

    P6N SLI Platinum – endless reboot loop. Need help!
    Configuration;
    Windows XP Pro, SP-2
       On old hard drive (Maxtor) I installed in the new case
    OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply
    MSI P6N SLI Platinum
    EVGA 256-P2-N550-T2 7600GT
    INTEL Dual Core E4400
    MEMORY tried two different ones;
       GeIL Esoteria 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
       Kingston Value Ram 1GB 667MH (of course tried in different slots, stick @ time)
    NEC DVD player/burner
    Old Maxtor IDE drive W/OS (I have new Seagate serial but won’t install it until I get everything else running.
    Computer goes in an endless reboot cycle. First, showing a black screen with small parallel white hash marks. Can pull up Bios but that’s as far as I can go. At first, I thought the high end Geil memory might be at fault. But after installing the more generic Kingston I get the same looping.
    In Bios, it is reading all my hardware; CPU, memory, hard drives, temperatures, voltages, etc. the only thing it doesn’t specifically show is the Evga video card. I don’t know if there is really any place it would show except in Hardware Profile.
    One other thing, Bios is showing the NEC as the Primary IDE Master and the Maxtor as the Secondary IDE master (although I have tried it both ways). I generally like to boot first from my DVD then go to hard drive.
    I don’t know where to go from here. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Clickman

    two replies;
    To Vernonion
    With JUST new Sata drive & DVD I get message "Reboot & select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device & press a key" in other words, install windows. No flashing anything.
    To Maesus
    Yes, have tried boot sequence every which way  . DVD functions as I ran Memtest for 4 hours last night.
    I think I will use the information mentioned in the 3 links V gave me earlier to "repair" the OS on my old Maxtor drive. It is partitioned with OS in one area by itself, docs in another partition, programs another, etc. so I wouldn't lose any work. At worst, I might have to reinstall some programs. At best, I accomplish what I set out to do.

  • P67A-G43 B3: Cannot POST--reboot loop on formerly working system--out of ideas

    So I bought a computer today off of Craigslist.  I demoed it before buying, running CPU and GPU benchmarks and playing a bit of Skyrim.  Everything looked good.  I put it in my car, drive for 10 minutes (no big bumps/turns to speak of) get it into my apartment, plug it all in and *BOOM* the computer starts for a sec and then powers down, going into a loop, doing it over and over till I hit reset.  6 hours later, I have made no progress, hoping someone here might have some suggestions.
    Specs:
    P67A-G43 B3 board
    i5 2500k CPU
    16gb GSkill DDR3 1600 Ram (2x8 gb)
    Geforce gtx 480 video
    Corsair 650W PSU
    What I've already done:
    First, I re-seated ram and video.  Same issue.
    Then, I tried re-seating the motherboard, took it out and screwed it back in (thinking something came loose and caused a short).  No dice.
    Next, I tried resetting CMOS (unplug power, hit "reset CMOS" button, took battery out for 5-10 mins, replaced).  The computer boots!  But, no video.  No harddrive access.  No nothing, other than the fans, as far as I can tell.  I restart, and it's back to square one (with the infinity reboot loop).  This behavior is repeatable, IE if I reset CMOS, it gets it out of the loop for one start, but there are no other changes.  It doesn't constantly restart, but it's not giving me anything more than that, and the restart behavior returns as soon as I power off.  In fact, if I short the Power On switch on the board to turn the power off, the system comes back on about 2 seconds later with an infinite loop.  Strange.
    Then, I took everything out of the box, re-assembled on a breadboard with bare minimum components.  With CPU and No RAM, the behavior is the same (including the reset CMOS behavior).  Ditto if I add a stick of RAM (tried it with both sticks, in a bunch of different slots, no difference) and if I add the video card in.
    Additionally, I've re-seated the CPU heatsink, no effect.  I've checked the pins on the CPU for any bent pins--I saw none, everything looked normal as far as I could tell.  On the back, all pins look good, except for two that seemed to be touching on one of the PCI slots (this PCI slot does appear slightly bent forward on the front).  I took a knife and carefully made the pins not touch, like the rest of the slots, but this seems to have had no effect.
    So, I've got what should be a pretty sweet rig sitting on a cutting board right now unable to do anything.  I consider myself reasonably technical, but I'm out of ideas.  One thought I did have was I wondered if there was any way to upgrade BIOS with the board in such a state?  Maybe by USB?  Doesn't seem like I can though.  Also, this system was working fine TODAY, and apparently had been working fine for a while, so wth, why now?  Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm tearing my hair out.
    One additional note: the green tag on the motherboard w/ BIOS description says "E7673\IMS1A0"
    Many thanks!

    Since it was working fine before it got into the car and within 10 mins there's problems. I think it could be some of the power connections to the board or the PSU suddenly gone bonkers.
    The reason for pointing out these two hardware is due to the fact that they have not been changed out with another similar hardware for testing yet.

  • Msi z77 mpower. higher than 8gb = reboot loop. help.

    Hey guys I'm posting this in hopes that maybe someone could figure out what is causing my new build to reboot loop without post if I added anything higher than 8gb of ram stick. I updated the bios to latest non-beta version, drivers all updated, and made sure that all connectors were correct and properly attached.
    Here is my build:
    i7 3770k
    Corsair H80 liq.cooling
    MSI Z77 Mpower Mobo
    Corsair Vengeance 16gb (4x4gb) 1600MHz [9-9-9-24]
    Asus Geforce GTX 670
    Corsair AX850 psu
    2 WD Black 1gb HD
    Win 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1
    Everything is at default options since I didn't want to overclock without including the full 4 sticks of ram. Whenever I add a stick into slots 1 or 2 while having a stick in either(or both) slots 3 and/or 4, and attempt to start it up, the mobo's debug shows 55(early memory initialization) and then gets stuck in a reboot loop. It boots up fine if I only add 1 stick in either slot 1 or 2 but if I add either a stick in slot 3 or 4 or add a stick in 2 while having a stick in 1, reboot loop occurs. I've searched everywhere for similar problems and actually did find one on this forums, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162331.0, except that the thread starter's problems were about getting the reboot loop problem after he has overclocked his system and nothing about the number of ram he has added.
    fyi: the mobo names ram slots(from left to right) as slots 3, 4, 1, 2 (in case anyone gets confused reading what I have wrote above)
    Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Honestly, it doesn't matter what slots are what number because I cannot add a 3rd stick (more than 8gb) without pc going into reboot loop and or any variations of dual channel setup without pc going into reboot loop.

    Sounds like maybe the DRAM V. is being set too low by the BIOS. Raise it to 1.55-1.575v's and see if that resolves it.
    using your #1 image, if i try to add stick in dimm1&3 or dimm2&4 it would reboot loop. If I tried 1&4 or dimm2&3 it would reboot loop.
    If i tried dimm3&4 it would reboot loop.
    BUT if I did dimm1&2 like I have it right now, it would boot up with no problems. I have already tried raising the DRAM V with no luck as well.
