After system crash I can't report the problem!

This has been happening for perhaps a month now. I'm doing nothing special, no special hardware on my PowerMac G5. The screen suddenly goes dim and I get a must reboot now message. I do so, and upon reboot I am given the option to report the crash. I click to report the crash... but NEVER GET THE CRASH REPORTER.
Has anyone else experienced this? It's frustrating because lately OS X has been crashing like Windows. This happens several times a week - 100% unacceptable. Can I get it to start working? I'd at least like to report these frustrating crashes.

It sounds like your RAM or directory have gone bad. Test the directory theory first:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
And if no issues are reported with the hard drive, and no third party peripherals are connected, try replacing the RAM entirely. RAM may go bad anytime, even RAM purchased directly from Apple, though less likely. In addition, there is no RAM test that is able to diagnose all bad RAM, though if bad RAM is detected by a hardware test, then you know it is bad.
These four language screens are known as kernel panics which I have discussed at length in my FAQ here:

  • My iPod automatically purchases apps, how can i report the problems by using email, is there emails than i can use?

    I'm from Hong Kong and this is my first time using this.
    In the past few months, my iPod had been automatically purchasing apps/updates/points I had not notice it until this few days when my email showed that I had purchased apps for more than $100USD.
    So ireally want to report these problems to Apple about cancelling my purchases. I did once before and it suceesed. However, this time when i try to used iTunes to report the same problem about my cancelling purchases, it did not allow me and it came straight to Apple websites. I tried it thousand time, and it still doesn't work.
    Therefore, my question is than is there any other way that i can contact with Apple Store such as through e-mail.
    If any one knows what is the email or any other way, please reply.
    Damon

    Try going to Apple Support, and e-mailing them from there.  If you got hacked, they will probably be able to cancel the purchases.  They are great.

  • Project file disappears after iMovie crashes. Can I recover the file?

    Working on an iMovie 9.0.9 project when the SBOD starts up and then the program crashes. I reopen iMovie but when I attempt to open the file it  no longer shows up in the Project folder window. The file still appears in the iMovie Project folder on the external hard drive were it was stored, just not within the program. Attempts to recover the file from Time Capsule backup result in the file opening with no content. All attempts to open it from that folder result in nothing showing up. This is the second file I have lost  in the last week. I've been working on this project for several days and have been able to open the file each time until the crash. Never had this problem before I updated iMovie in mid-May.
    I'm running  an iMac Early 2008, with  2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor,  4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory, Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, Software  OS X 10.8.3. Using an Iomega USB 1.5 TB external HD for file storage and Seagate 3TB HD for Time Capsule.

    If you use Acrobat's Searchable Image (Exact) then the image is untouched and present.
    If you use Acrobat's Searchable Image the image is still present but has be "tweaked" by Acrobat so the image isn't the "original" (not "exact").
    If you use Acrobat's ClearScan the original image is gone. Recognized characters are replaced with an Acrobat internal font. Characters not recognized are left as a bit-mapped image.
    As the first two above still have the image you can use Acrobat XI to Save As Other and select a supported image file format.
    Be well...

  • Please help: fail to recover after system crash

    Hi all,
    I tried to start our directory server after system crash due to hardware failure. Error log shows:
    [17/Apr/2010:01:35:15 +0800] - WARNING<20488> - Backend Database - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - Detected Disorderly Shutdown last time Directory Server was running, recovering database.
    However, the recover process seems never ends (I waited overnight...). While CPU usage of ns-slapd grows continuously, the server has no response (e.g. ldapsearch waits forever). I make copies of db before starting ns-slapd and thus I tried several attempts:
    1. start as it is.
    2. remove db/log* and start
    3. remove db/log* and db/__db* and start
    4. remove db/* except db/NetscapeRoot and start
    All attempts have the same result - recovery goes on continuously.
    Then I tried to remove db/* and run restoreconfig with an old configuration backup. Then ns-slapd can be started. However, when I do ldapsearch testing:
    ldapsearch -h localhost -v -D"cn=directory manager" -b "" -s base objectclass= namingContexts
    ldap_init( localhost, 389 )
    Bind Password:
    ldap_simple_bind_s: Invalid credentials
    I'm sure the password is correct, and also tried modifying nsslapd-rootpw in config/dse.ldif and corresponding userPassword in configuration file created by saveconfig before restoreconfig.
    Again, all attempts have the same result - invalid credentials. I can see BIND cn=directory manager attempts in logs/access, but also see following line in logs/errors:
    [17/Apr/2010:21:59:08 +0800] - INFORMATION - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - get_entry: entry cn=directory manager not found (error 32)
    I'd like to know:
    * if there any other method to make recovery process complete successfully?
    * if there is anything missed/wrong in the restoreconfig process?
    I tried several days but can't make it. Would anyone please help?
    Sorry that we're still using old versions 5.2 patch 5 on Solaris 5.9 on v440 machines...
    Thank you very much.
    /ST Wong ([email protected])

    I hope you have a export of LDAP data backup in LDIF format, if so, please stop the instance and remove all the files from your db directory which includes .db3 and log.* and __db* and then do a ldif2db.
    Once import is complete, start the slapd process.

  • Workflow continue after system crash.

    Dear Workflow expert,
    I have customized the standard leave request workflow to a 2 level approval  workflow. However, sometimes the workflow will suddenly stop without any error and I need to go to tcode SWPC (execute workflow after system crash) to continue the workflow.
    Anyone can tell me in what circumstances that the workflow will fall into this category, because it like happens quite frequently.

  • TA25225 Display Flickers in my 21" Imac Intel. This happened after the fan noise in my machine. I also reported the problem and gave to the service centre, but the problem still persist. Please help. I purchased it 3 - 4 weeks ago

    Hello,
    I purchased my imac intel 21" 3-4 weeks ago and in the 2nd week i faced an issue with the machine. When i switched on in, there was a fan noise and a white screen. The machine had hanged. I reported the problem and gave to the service centre. After testing for a week, they said that there is no problem with the imac. Again i faced the same problem after receiving it from the service centre. They again tested the machine for 3-4 days and reported as no problem with the machine. Couple of days back, I received the machine from the service centre, and on the same day when i switched it on, there are flickers in the display. Please help me solve the issue. I am from India. The service here is very bad.
    Hope for a resolution
    Thanks

    Hello RedDevil07
    Yes I agree with seventy one. It's common sense to do this, especially now. I would also contact AppleCare and report this issue with them, it will get documented and you will have a caseID that you can refer to when talking to them in the future should this issue go one.
    Be polite with AppleCare and your AASP. Hopefully everyone is being honest and trying to help you and not what might appear to be the opposite.
    Patience is a virtue, but I thoroughly understand your frustration.
    Let us know how it goes, we are here to help in whatever way we can.
    I encourage you to contact AppleCare to report this experience and get their recommendations. There is an expectation that you should have that AppleCare is there to help you as a customer. I am sure they will too!

  • When the system status says icloud is OK but it reports "encountered an error when connecting to the server", where do you report the problem, or how do you connect?

    When the system status says icloud is OK but logon reports "encountered an error when connecting to the server", where do you report the problem, or how do you connect?

    Yes i am hoping staff here will look into things, even if i can not get the speeds back what i previously had for near 6 months it would be nice to know why i can not and why the download has dropped by around 10Mb and why my upload is now inconsistant.
    Ironically the post concerned got edited because i actually posted the full rather silly reply the Indian call centre made babbling on about down rates rather than the uprate i queried with them.
    Bit of a shambles really no real way on BTs web site to contact anyone with regards to broadband issues.
    The form which you kindly suggested and i appreciated your help ended up in the hands of someone who either did not bother to read the query or just had such a poor grasp of English they did not understand the query.
    Pretty pathetic really when BT are the largest telco in the UK. I think ill be taking my broadband business elsewhere regardless at the end of my 18 month contract, while im sure staff here are wonderful and may even yet help me, i do not particularly want to go through the almost like pulling teeth pain of getting any future issue looked at.
    They are great at quickly fixing voice line problems and have a great test on their site. Broadband side of things and support for that though seems a shambles.

  • RMAN-07527 After System Crash

    We recently had a system crash (hardware issue).  When the system came back up I noticed an error in the event log (ORA-19816) that instructed me to use CATALOG RECOVERY AREA in RMAN.  When I did this I received an RMAN-07527 error indicating that the copies of the redo logs and archivelog files that are duplexed there were not created using the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter.  Can I just delete these files?  Will Oracle recreate them if necessary?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    RMAN-07527:
    Reason: File was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter
    Cause: This message should be accompanied by other message(s) indicating the name of file that was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter. One of the following scenarios caused this error: 1) This is an archived log file and was created when the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter was set explicitly to flash recovery area location. For example, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1="location=+FRA" where "+FRA" was also your DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST value. 2) This is an RMAN backup file and was created in a flash recovery area using the FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. 3) This is an online log file or current control file and was created prior to setting the flash recovery area. 4) This file fits none of the above scnearios and is not supported by the flash recovery area.
    Action: All of following actions will resolve future occurences of this error: 1) To create archived logs in flash recovery area, set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to "location=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST". Do not explicitly set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to a flash recovery area location. 2) To create RMAN backups in flash recovery area, do not use the FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. All of following actions will resolve current problem: 1) If this is an archived log file or an RMAN backup file, use the CATALOG command to re-catalog the files. 2) If this is an online log file or a current control file to be managed by the flash recovery area, re-create the file using the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter.

    Dear Apple Support,

    This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
    After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need  to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
    After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
    I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
    I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
    What will I do? Please help.

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

    Have you tried doing turning the battery level display off and then General -> "Reset all settings"? You won't loose any data and that should do the trick.
