About 10 kernel panics in the past 3 months - looking for cause

Hello,
I have tried searching extensively in the discussions.apple.com and in Google but cannot answer the question myself. I've had quite a number of kernel panics in the past 3 months on a MacBook Pro 13" purchased new in July 2010.
I'll post two reports below but the cause looks to be the following, which I cannot interpret:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x226b57): "thread_invoke: preemption_level -1, possible cause: unlocking an unlocked mutex or spinlock"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.9.37/osfmk/kern/sched_prim.c:1471
Can anyone explain that?
Unfortunately I cannot say anything about what was happening at the time of the kernel panic. There appears to be nothing systematic from my end. It doesn't happen all the time but frequently enough now that it is frustrating if a lot of work / apps are open.
I have read the following http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html but it did not help me out. I did perform a hardware test at boot up by holding down D. Hardware test passed twice without problems.
Thanks
TT Mac
Here are the details of two kernel panics:

What is CIJScannerRegist? I've gotten two Kernel panics in the past 2 hrs

My Mac Pro has been stable for over 2 years now. I've just gotten two kernel panics in the last 2 hours, both related to a process called CIJScannerRegist. Who owns this process and what does it do? I did a ps aux on it and at least found where it is located:
$ ps aux | grep CIJScannerRegist

I still don't know what it does. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok.. I have one question answered but it brings up another. For anyone else that is having this issue, CIJScannerRegist is some daemon that is getting kicked off on boot. At the moment I don't know WHY it is getting started but I have found this. The application is located at: /Library/Image Capture/Support/LegacyDeviceDiscoveryHelpers/CIJScannerRegister . This is an app related to Canon All-In-One printers. I have a Canon Pixima MP800R Scanner/Printer. For some strange reason that escapes me all of the sudden this is causing Kernel Panics. I have a New MBP and an older Mac Pro. Both have SL 10.6.2 installed. Both have the Canon Driver installed. I found that both had an earlier version so I downloaded the latest driver from the Canon website. The one you want is the 45.3Mb file named mp800rosxns10ea7-3.dmg. This has the printer/scanner/network all rolled into one.
What is very curious is on boot my laptop (which does not kernel panic) boots but the process CIJScannerRegist does NOT start. On my desktop however I get the following two additional processes that are running:

You can see process 257 and 254 were started on boot. If I kill both process, I don't get a kernel panic. What I would like to know is what in blue blazes is starting the processes? If I go under System Pref's on BOTH machines, under Login Items there is the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility but only on my Mac Pro am I getting these additional two processes. I did a ps aux | grep Scan and I see the network Scan utility. That is a different process. Something is starting this CIJScannerRegist process. What I would like to do is simply fix that this process is getting started but I'm not sure where in the boot process that this is getting kicked in.
So for anyone else with this issue, the hack fix is do a ps aux | grep Image in a terminal window. Get the process ID of CIJScannerRegist and then do a kill -9 ID# where ID# is the process id you got from the first command. That will stop the kernel panics but still doesn't explain why they are getting started.
I will stop this thread and make a new post on the process as that is really a different question.

My macbook from 2008 which I bought used worked fine for 3 weeks and then suddenly it started restarting and now it restarts, goes to grey apple screen and a code saying something about a kernel panic appears and it restarts again and again. Help?

Restart the computer and immediately hold the Option key down.
Select the Recovery partition and continue.
On the next pane, select Disk Utility and continue.
When DU opens, select your hard drive in the left column, click the First Aid tab, the click Repair Disk.
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

Kernel panics all the time - what is the reason?

during the past few month (must be 3 or 4) I've get kernel panics all the time. there are no specimen programs open. sometimes I've get the kernel right after the start. it is very frustrating because apple couldn't help me so I hope someone know what these panic log means (these are only the three last one):

I have had the same issue since I got my Powerbook (1.5GHz). I'll tell you what I have tried, but it looks like Apple is going to just have to either replace the logic board or the whole computer itself.
Since the very beginning I suspected the graphics card. I really don't know how to decipher the panic.log, but I see NVDA and Graphics repeated a lot in the log. Regardless, I tried every troubleshoot out there, but nothing worked. I reset PRAM, did both hardware tests, fixed permissions, I even erased my hard drive and reinstalled both from the install disk, then from a different OS 10.4 disk. I did an archive and install, a journaled erase, and a complete erase of my hard drive. I even reset the Airport card. I called Apple care and they basically wanted me to do the same things I had already done, so I just took it into the Apple store for repairs. The company they contract their work out to (Flextronics International) did not do any extensive diagnostics, they simply replaced a flex cable between the hard drive and the logic board. I got it back and within a week the kernel panics started again. I took it back in and this time they (Flextronics) reset the Airport card, which made absolutley no sense. I know a loose Airport card causes kernel panics, but by this point they should have done much much more than that. I have been struggling with this for over a month and Apple wants to try one more repair before replacing the computer. It has been extremely frustrating dealing with Apple technical support and customer relations. I haved been extremely patient with them, but at this point I just feel like they have wasted too much of my time on this issue that could have been resolved if they contracted their work out to competant companies.
So like I said. Good luck on getting it fixed. You may be having a different problem, but I tried all the troubleshooting that is recomended to consumers and more, yet my Powerbook is still getting kernel panics. At this point I am just trying to get Apple to fix the problem once and for all. And I think that will involve a new logic board or a new computer.

Kernel Panics all the time. Anyone else?

Ever since i updated my Macbook to Mavericks, my Apple experience has been a nightmare. In the last months:
I've been getting the Aw, Snap! page every fifteen minutes or so in Chrome. I've tried disabling extensions, signing out, downloading the anti-virus and even deleting and reinstalling the application.
Programs crash and become unresponsive all the time.
Kernel_task is really high on memory
My computer restarts at least twice a day, and I get the white screen with black lettering in all the languages. (Kernel Panics)
I've tried to identify what's causing the problem, and most of the apps crash on the com.apple.main-thread
Any fix on this? I'm getting quite neurotic.
Thanks!

Hi, thanks!
I've tried all of your suggestions. It keeps crashing.
Here's the panic log.

I use PSE 11 on Windows 7. I have about 40,000 tagged jpg files in the Organizer. For the past several months whenever I try to back up the Organizer it just freezes. Help!

I use PSE 11 on a PC with Windows 7. I have around 40,000 tagged jpg files in a catalog in Organizer. For the past several months everytime I have tried to back up the catalog, Organizer freezes. I add and tag new items all the time, but haven't been able to back up Organizer since last December. Please help me figure out what to do. Thanks!

I'm happy to report that I've managed the resolve this issue of mine
After a little discussion with customer support through online chat today, I was still advised to try the uninstall and install to see what happens.
So I used the CC cleaner tool first, restarted then started by installing CS2 then CS5 using my serial numbers and made sure that I selected 32 and 64 bit programs to be installed
Anxiously, I restarted my laptop to see if it would reboot okay and thankfully it did *relief!*
Now I can open avi files using 32 bit of Photoshop CS5 without any problems (thank goodness!!)
I think I probably didn't install the 32 bit program when I first bought the installation CD, since I thought I didn't need it but never knew it was still required for editing avi files!!
Surprisingly, I still got to keep both versions of CS2 and CS5 this time around, as CS2 was simply replaced by CS5 when I first installed it two years ago....hmm.
So thank you again gener7!

Terrible service for the past few months, trouble ...

Hi all,
I'm hoping I may be able to get more help here.
For the past few months my phone line has been incredibly crackily and faint, my broadband (not with BT) has also been cutting out for long periods of time making it almost impossible to use.
About 2 months ago an engineer came out and supposedly fixed the fault (I'm not even sure if there was one to fix) only a day later it was back to being crackily and faint.
I called up numerous times and did online fault checks, and nothing came of it, they said there were no faults!
During the past few months I noticed that when the weather is bad (wind, rain, wind and rain, frost) my phoneline is terrible and my broadband connection is non existent. I kept note of this and yup, everytime the weather is bad, so is my broadband+phoneline. It's completely fine when it's dry and calm out.
I contacted BT again (multiple times because the service is terrible) and they said there isn't a fault with my line and that I should call my ISP.
Today I called again because the phoneline was terrible as is the weather, they called my mobile to do a linecheck on the landline, then 2minutes later they put the phone down on me and never called back. I had waited over 30minutes just to get through..
It seems like I'm never going to get this fixed as it's almost impossible to deal with BT on the other end of the phone, and I can't do a fault test online because my internet is dead during the times it is bad..
I also reported that the wire connecting from my house to the telegraph pole is all loose and looks unravled, but they obviously didn't think it was a problem because they wouldn't send anyone out for it.
What am I to do?

I called 151 and reported the fault, they found nothing wrong. As it's intermittent they are going to run a 24hr line test and then get back to me (though he said he'd call in the morning to let me know if an engineer needs to come out.. 24hrs?) fingers crossed the weather is absolutely abysmal tonight!
@HHGTTG If it eventually gets fixed, I'll probably always be waiting to let out a sigh when I see that the weather is bad. Haunted! I hope you're in the clear now.
@surfer157 Perfect, I just bought my nephew a land telescope for his birthday, now i'm going to scope out the wires if nothing comes of the 24hr line test!
My wire is all loose and looks like it has come unravled at the telegraph pole compared to the others that look like they are pulled tightly, so I'm pretty confident it's a similar, if not the same problem you had with a corroded wire. Not confident about getting it fixed anytime soon though...

I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message. This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac. I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message. I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old. Obviously I'm using iDVD. I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem. A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above. I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD. Still the same message came up. I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened. This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened. They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had. The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's. The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message. The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page.
I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work! It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion. I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy. It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems. Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.

Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter. So much appreciated. And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this). Although, you may regret asking for more information. I've added everything I can below.
The process I used is as follows:
Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
Add title to front of clips
‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
Select submenu - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
Change title colours on clips
Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
Try new DVD discs
Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
Change images in drop zones
Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
Try with one clip and no menu pages added
Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
Turn computer off and restart
New hard drive
New optical lense (thing)
New DVD burner
Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
Other points:
I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across. I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went. It burned to disc image successfully.
The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this. That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.
Other technical stuff that I don't understand but you may:

If you can solve this you are better than the 'apple geeks' in the shop and the service technicians in the service centre (and of course me but that's no achievement).
Eagerly awaiting your reply.

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

HT4356 I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto. Version 8.1.2
- What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.9.4
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
When I open iPhoto, only the most recent photos are shown (last 12 months)
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? This has been going on for several weeks now. There are no error messages, but yes, I had an update in the system (QuarkXPress 10.1), and the problem has occurred from that day.
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I tried to find out where the problem came from, but found no solution.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto? No
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Thank you so much for offering help. I am not a proficient user of the system.

You can open the phone app and tap on recents at the bottom of the screen that's about it

My photos are appearing "Last import", "last 12 months" and in my library's "Events", but not in "Photos" in my library. It's been working just fine up until the past 3 months. Dates on the photos seem to be correct.

My photos are appearing in last import, last 12 months and in my events (in library) but not in my photos (in library). I have never had any problems up until about 3 months ago. Did I change a setting by accident? I prefer to view my photos in 'photos' as opposed to 'events'. and btw, all the dates seem to be correct on the past recent months.

Post in the iPhoto foum.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.
