Also having Kernal Panic issues

I am also having issues with a Kernal Panic. My new refurbished MBP was working fine for a couple of days and now all of a sudden I got a couple yesterday and have gotten 3 today. I called tech support this morning and we checked for errors and reset the permissions. If you could help me with the logs as well that would maybe give an Idea of where to start..thanks. Below is the logs. Also the only thing I have put on the machine is Skype and I also transferred pictures and Itunes library from my pc based laptop to this machine using a usb flash drive. I dont know if that would have anything to do with it.

Chalk me up as having this increasingly frequent error as well. I never noticed the problem for over a year but upon having the machine returned after some repairs I seem to get it all the time. I'm averaging once a day but often multiple times in a day. Mine seems to be tied to Safari and high internet use (just surmising).

  • I'm having kernal panics even in single user mode

    My new Mac Pro has been having kernal panics left and right. I've done everything suggested here plus everything the Apple people have been telling me to do both on the phone and at the local Apple store. Nothing helps and the last call I made the Apple tech suggested I install a new hard drive which he is sending me. I also have his extension number so I can call him when the install is done. In the meantime while I'm waiting for the new hard drive I manage to reinstall the system after a couple of tries and just for grins boot into single user mode and let the computer sit for awhile. When I get back I find the computer has once again crashed and this one line stands out "simple lock deadlock detection". What this means I have no clue but I'm beginning to suspect what I have is a real lemon. If anyone has some insight they'ld like to share on this I'm open to suggestions.
    P.S. And just to let you know I've done the following:
    1. I've booted into safe boot mode and it crashes
    2. I've booted off the install DVD and let it stand and it crashes
    3. I've disconected everything but the mouse and keyboard and it crashes
    4. I've reinstalled the system numerous times and it still crashes
    5. I've taken it to the local Apple store where they replaced the memory and it still crashes
    6. I've called the Apple help line and followed their suggestions which included unplugging the computer for 15 seconds to clear the SMU and it crashes even worse.
    7. I've zapped the pram and reset the nvram and it still crashes
    8. Even when I left it at the local Apple Store where they used their monitor, mouse, keyboard, and power cord it still crashes
    9. It crashes on startup from time to time
    10. And last but not least it crashes in single user mode even though I've done fsck -fy and then let it just sit
    11. Oh yes and one more thing, the crashes are completely random and unpredictable.
    Mac Pro duel core intel xeon 2.66mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Well I finally resolved my issue, hopefully. Upon installing the new hard drive I had no problems for a week or so and decided to add a second drive and put my old system on it and see what would happen when I booted from the second drive. All went well for a week and then boom the crashes began again. I then switched back to the new drive with the fresh system and all went well for a little over a week when boom the panics returned. I called Apple and they made an appointment for me at the local Apple store. After looking at my files which included about 7 phone calls and several visits to the Apple store the best solution was a brand new Mac Pro. All this has been covered under warranty which is awesome. The only crashing I've had to date had to do with something called "mdimportserver" whatever that is. I also can only use one ethernet connector which is strange. I figured it might have to do with the new hard drive so I booted over to the old drive and everything is working fine except for the ethernet port which I haven't tried yet. I figure for now it's best to let that sleeping dog alone since everything else is working so good. When I'm sure this new Mac is working ok I'll wipe the new drive and use Super Duper to clone this system over rather than use Apple's migration assistant which evidently didn't do such a good job of migrating my system over. I'll let you all know how it goes several weeks from now hopefully.

  • Fixing kernal panic issue necessary before updating OS?

    I've been using 10.4.11 for nearly two years and it usually crashes once or twice a day. I've posted my problem on this forum twice and none of the many suggestions solved the problem. I've replaced my hard drive and had the memory checked and reseated. Keeping any peripheral equip unplugged seems to help, but not always. The kernal panics are totally unpredictable. It can happen when any software is running or none. It can crash on Shut Down or Start Up. It's never consistent.
    I'm getting a little tired of it, to say the least, and have purchased Leopard with the intention of installing it (Erase and Install option), naively assuming that may solve my problem. But I've recently read that kernal panic issues should be solved BEFORE upgrading system software. Is that true? If so, I may just upgrade to an Intel-based Mac and junk this G-5.

    At the very least, you need to be able to run 10.4.11 without having kernel panics. That may mean you have to do an Erase & Install of 10.4 and run without having any other applications installed and see if the machine is still crashing.
    Installing 10.5 on a system that already has issues is not a good idea at all.
    I took a look at your thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8863122
    Possible culprits for your issues:
    Graphics card
    Modem
    I see this bit in a couple of your logs:
    com.apple.driver.MotorolaSM56K(1.3.1)@0x9bd000
    dependency: com.apple.driver.AppleI2SModemFamily(1.1.2)@0x9b2000
    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOSerialFamily(6.0.1d20)@0x3da000
    Do you have any software by Motorola installed? (This could be a piece of hardware too; I'm not well-versed in how desktop Macs are put together!)
    This bit also appears:
    com.apple.GeForce(3.4.2)@0xbe4000
    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.4)@0x398000
    And that could indicate problems with your graphics card.

    Are you getting the KP on startup, after its booted?
    If you startup in Safe Mode (depress Shift key during startup), does it KP?
    Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
    Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. What external devices do you have connected? When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, keyboard and mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
    To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: Testing RAM @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
    Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc (the AHT is on the Install/Restore DVD that came with your Mac)? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
    May be a solution on one of these links.

  • Yet another kernal panic issue

    I'm having kernal panics too....
    My iMac starts up with no startup chime, and then it starts up OK, but then when it gets to the part when the login window comes up, its just a blue screen, and every 3-5 seconds the little "startup spinny thingy" comes up for about 1/5 of a second. I call it the blue-screen of death. I'm pretty sure its the memory, and I'm preforming all the tasks apple says to do on the support page. I've heard of people saying that buying a new keyboard or slapping the mac would work, but it doesn't for me. Usually I just reboot in safe-mode and all goes away, but now I can't boot up in safe mode OR hear a startup chime.

    Please read this in conjunction with my responce to your other post. 
    Have you tried disconnecting all external devices (standfast the Apple mouse and keyboard) and seeing how that goes? You may also wish to try removing the SODIMM RAM and Airport card if present). Some questions for you:
    Have you added any hardware/software recently?
    What does the Apple Hardware Test disk report? (Here's a more extensive RAM checker.)
    Do you have another Mac/External Firewire Hard Disk (they can help troubleshoot).
    cheers

  • I'm also having a music issue.  When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything.  I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

  • Still having kernal panic

    A quick history....a week ago I migrated data via firewire from my old G5 to my new intel based iMac and a kernal panic occured on the G5. I've read all sorts of docs and fixes, not much of which makes sense to me, and I'm still having problems. Now the kernal panic occurs immediately after user login. The only devices connected to the G5 are the keyboard and mouse...though I guess the mouse is connected to the keyboard.
    I don't have my old install disc so I can't do the hardware test that was recommended, and as I can't boot up, I can't test my RAM either. Please help.

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Kernal Panic Issue

    I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6 from Apple's Install DVD on a brand new HD (I did this from another Mac via USB)
    I then installed that HD into my wife's iMac (2007, model identifier 7.1). I also upgraded the RAM from 2 to 4GB. All seemed to go very smoothly. It booted up perfectly. Just like a new Mac (welcome animation).
    I used Software Update and updated system software to 10.6.5, using the Combo update. Rebooted perfectly.

I started changing preferences, adding printers, etc. All was fine.
    Then I started getting a VOLLEY of error messages, many of them in a row, necessitating many OK enters. This happened after changing sharing privileges:
    "Impossible to use the system extension. The extension system "/System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIfamily.ketx" has not been installed correctly and cannot be used. Try to reinstall it or contact the producer for an update" 

    Again, this type of message appeared many times about a large number of extensions. It seemed to go away.
    Then with the computer shut down, I plugged in a Firewire 800 external hard drive (powered down) to prepare to bring in her data. I rebooted and then I got the following grey screen Kernal Panic message:
    panic(cpu0caller 0x55bfa5) "Unable to find driver for this platform ACPI " SourceCsche/xnu/xnu-1504.9.17/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1389
    I keep getting this message, even with the external HD not connected. I put the old RAM back in, assuming the new RAM might be bad. Same problem.
    It will not let me start up from Apple System DVD! It kicks out the DVD and shows the grey screen Kernal Panic messagemessage.
    I cannot start up using SHIFT key or COMMAND-S key or the COMMAND-V key to use the "fsck -fy" command. Nor can I do a hardware test by holding down the D key at startup. Nor does a PRAM reset help.
    Any help with this?

    The initial error you described sounds like the result of a badly performed update:
    Frank Cioffi1 wrote:> "Impossible to use the system extension. The extension system "/System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIfamily.ketx" has not been installed correctly and cannot be used. Try to reinstall it or contact the producer for an update" 

    This is the message you get when the owner/permissions of a kext are not correct (usually when someone manually installs a kext without repairing permissions).
    panic(cpu0caller 0x55bfa5) "Unable to find driver for this platform ACPI " SourceCsche/xnu/xnu-1504.9.17/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1389
    I haven't seen this before but it sounds like it is related... the problem is to do with accessing things, (permissions)
    What exactly did you change when you say "changing sharing privileges"?
    Also when booting from the install DVD make sure it's actually trying to boot from the DVD by ether holding down "c" as soon as you press the power button... or holding down "option" aka "alt" and then selecting the DVD from the boot menu.

  • Kernal Panic Issue (Need Help Decoding)

    This morning after booting up my Mac Pro, I received a Kernal Panic message on the screen and had to reboot in safe mode.
    I disabled any startup 3rd party applications and also disbaled any login startup applications.
    After doing this I was able to start up successfully, but after about 10 minutes of running, my screen would fade to black from the top down and then the machine would restart itself.
    I did this a couple of times and thought I would post here to see if anyone could help decode my kernal panic info.

    I always like to see the simple hardware profile / system profile (always leave out serial number though)
    Is Netflix or Silverlight using Java? did you see the other user earlier today with Q about those also?
    System is nearly 7 yrs old, FBDIMMs go bad, the original graphic cards are due for upgrade if you have not.
    Still have your OEM DVDs? Apple Hardware Test is on one.
    Also, consider installing 10.6 on another fresh format drive and do all the updates and 'watch' before making more changes. You cna use Setup or Migration Assistant. Lion runs well on these systems too.
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $32 
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    Hardware Monitor
    http://www.bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
    This can make a huge difference in your system performance, best $100 investment I made in mine.
    SSD: Samsung 840 128GB
    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Series-120GB-internal-MZ-7TD120BW/dp/B009NHAF06/
    And one of thse:
    ATI Radeon 5770 http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC742ZM/A
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-ATI-Radeon-5770-MC742ZM/dp/B003Z6QH6M
    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/726537-REG/Apple_MC742ZM_A_ATI_Radeon_HD_5 770.html
    I'd start with a pair or two of the FBDIMMs, probably over due and these are top quality, $32 (I gradually replaced all mine to have 16GB now).

  • My MacBook is having Kernal Panics

    My 2008 MacBook [Running OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard)] will for no reason show the restart screen with the five language which indicates a Kernal Panic. It's happening often and I need asistance on how to repair this.

    A kernel panic is usually, but now always, caused by hardware, with memory the leading cause. First thing I would do is to run the Apple Hardware Test (you'll need your original OS X disks for this).
    Also see this FAQ on resolving kernel panics.

  • Hi, I have 13 inch macbook pro early 2011 which is having Kernal panic on a regular basis?

    If ny one can help regarding this issue i have osx 10.7.3.
    Kernal panic is on a regular basis and my mac has corporate image of the Lion
    Some times the kernal panic is with software some time with CPU.
    Need help?

    Try a smc reset:

  • I am having kernal panic problems.

    I have had Kernal Panic problems over time.
    It happened when I was running Second Life in my 4GB MacBook Pro.
    Yesterday I had 8 GB installed (Kensington) and it has Panicked twice.
    Here are my Panic Notes.  Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?
    Thank you,

  • Am i having Kernal Panics?

    Every so often an application stops responding and must be force quit. After it is force quit a window pops up saying ______ quit unexpectedly. This is normal. What isn't normal is when this happens to OS X. The screen suddenly goes black and the fans start going full blast. I then must manually shut off my imac and restart OS X. Once it boots up the same window pops up saying OS X quit unexpecedly. Are these kernal panics???

    Rather than wait (or limp along) why not run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Loop mode. If it passes, then run Rember/Memtest to insure nothing adverse there with RAM.
    Backup and do a full Zero-All Erase followed by a clean install. Then sit and watch for a week before adding any drivers, extensions, and avoid anything that truly modifies the system, aka "haxies."
    You may just have corrupt plist (preferences) or cache (user, system, library, can be fonts, or application). Always a good idea to trash all the internet cache and temp files that build up.
    And repair your drive from a 2nd clone that you keep (ie, don't update with your possibly corrupt working system, use another drive for that) just for "emergency repairs."
    Bad sectors on the drive, faulty memory, can then lead to corrupt files, filesystem, directory - it "snowballs" and escalates.

  • If I run disc utility (thinking probable startup issues, also had kernal panic?) will i lose data?

    Hi
    I'm having problems starting up macbook - I get the chimes and if I leave the wheel and apple symbol for long enough I get the instruction to restart in different languages - plus the old style type to the left with something about Darwin Kernel. Don't think this is too regular but seems to happen judging by online  feedback.
    So i think it is something to do with the startup and have discs - have tried turning on holding down C with disc inserted - but if I go through to run disk utility, will i lose data...I'll admit to not backing up work, as most stuff online but few pictures and settings which will be annoying to an upsetting lesson to learn, if I lose them..
    Anyone have any thoughts please?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You shouldn't lose anything, but note that Disk Utility may modify the filesystem, and if this fails, you won't be able to recover your files. It's important to have a backup.
    Instead of trying to repair the drive, I recommend you to start up in safe mode by holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting up. There are different reasons for a kernel panic > http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3742

  • Kernal panic issue help

    ive been getting the must restart screen usually coming out of sleep and after restarting sometimes ill have to do it 3-4 times ive done my homework , still happens after unpluging all pereferals ,ive reset PRAM ive reset pow mang unit, ran disk utillities not only archive but did full erase and install and after e&i was not having prob. slowly added pereferals over a few days like lexmark z23, seagate hard drive (for backup only) a microsoft intellimouse expl 2 wireless mouse thinking that when must restart problem occurs, at the report to apple sceen afterward the dates within it would help find specific issue but none of the dates within. ive done all applesite has suggested. my printer and mouse software says its for macosx can anyone give me some feedback or sugestions
    what can it be and can anyone make sense of the error report after problem restart if i were to post it? thanks a million

    HI, ken.
    See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics.
    My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, following the instruction in the order specified, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein. While you may have done some of the things cited in the FAQ, the order in which they are done can be critically important, hence the roadmap.
    If you post the panic log, I will endeavor to see what it can tell us. Instructions on posting the panic log are also found in my FAQ.
    Good luck!
