Bad, bad restart after 10.4.4 update

I just downloaded a series of software updates onto my eMac running Tiger. I have restarted twice and the OS seems to have completely crashed. I have a gray screen with several messages in what looks like DOS (maybe?). These include: "panic(cpu 0 caller ...): Unable to find driver for this platform ..." "No debugger configured - dumping debug information" "Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 0.3.0 Mon OCt 3 ... panic: We are hanging here ..."
I have no response from my keyboard.
This machine has been showing its age (800MHz, 512 RAM), but this is a bit sudden... What on earth should I do???
eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   800 MHz G4 512 MB RAM

OK... a bit further into the problem... booted to the DVD, the disk did need both a Repair and Permissions Repair.
At this point I re-verified everything, half way through the permissions verification, the same thing happened - now this is starting to point to a hardware issue.
So far I've had more luck, getting right into a full re-boot before the same thing happens.
At the moment I've started creating a disk image to an external firewire drive to make sure I can save everything, but I'm not even sure it'll finish that!!!
No problems whatsoever before the 10.4.5 update.
Any further ideas??
Is it possible that there's been a Bluetooth firmware update that may have snarled things up?
Thanks

  • Bad Mux after 4.0.3 update?

    Don't know if my situation is unique, but I think I may have found a bug/issue with DVDSP and/or Compressor. A project I've been working on for almost a year now won't mux properly, since the recent 4.0.3 update. The project is 3 hours 50 minutes long. Before the update I got clean builds that played without a hitch. Now, and this is consistent across 3 machines with the same level of software, the video starts to break up at 3h18m in to the program. This is with both the origanl mpeg2 files compressed BEFORE the update and a new batch compressed AFTER (I thought maybe the originals had become corrupted.) The strangeness is that the VOB files seem to play fine in VLC or MPlayer, but playing either from the build or and image in DVD Player or burning and playing on a set-top result in the aforementioned problem at 3h18m.
    I went back to the original FCP timeline - no problems. Exported both a FCP ref and self-contiained file - no problems with them. Recompressed both in Compressor 2 - each file when viewed in QT Player is truncated to just over the 2 hour mark, but the size of the file indicates it is indeed the full program. VLC and MPlayer both play the complete file.
    Next step was DVDSP. Imported the necessary MPEG files and muxed - 3h18m breakup and halt. Imported the each of the FCP files and let DVDSP compress to MPEG, then muxed - again, same problem. Tried again both ways but left out subtitles - same issue. Left out AC3 - same issue.
    I'm assuming it's happening at the mux because of the original files working before. I think I've covered every variation of compress/mux I could think of. Even uninstalled DVDSP (but not Compressor) and re-installed from disc to vanilla 4.0 - no change. My next task is to uninstall Compressor and re-install to 2.0 vanilla, unless some associated codec is causing the problem.
    I know my project is incredibly long, but has anyone else seen a muxing issue lately?

    Ooops! Seems I have to upgrade - I'm running 4.0.2 (the Dual G5 is usually off-line, editing only.) But, I DO have muxing issues. DVD SP will usually report a muxing error early in the build. I sometimes have to try as many as three times to get it to work (which may include restarting the computer and running build THEN format.) THEN, when I play back the DVD (and I always burn to a DVD-RW, to check it before it goes to my DVD Publisher) although the video (up to 2 hours) plays perfectly (edited in FCP, then exported using Compressor) it's the MENU that breaks up (usually in the lower third)! It's bad enough I'm a newbie and it takes me forever to "concoct" a very simple DVD menu, but then to spend a whole day to get it to burn properly!

  • IMac unable to restart after downloading latest software update (including iTunes 11.2)

    My system is a mid-2007 iMac (Intel) with latest software updates always promptly installed (OSX Mavericks, etc) and 320 GB internal HD, 4GB Ram.
    Today the software updater informed me that an update to iTunes was available and so I allowed it to download the update and then restart the computer. The restart was not successful - the computer display will show the status window progressing as the update is installed and then nears completion, but will freeze at the apparant point of completion and the restart will not complete. I tried restarting several times and it always hangs up and does not complete.
    I then ran the Disc Utilities program - first time I ran it, it identified disc problems with the internal HD  and proceeded to repair them. Following that I trried to restartt and it ran into the same difficulties and did not restart. Subsequently I ran disc utilities and it reports the internal HD to be fine. I've also tried several times to boot the computer and restore from my Time Machine backups and it will not complete the restore. I do get to the screens where I can select the volume to restore from, the volume to restore to, and so forth. After these efforts were not successful, I finally tried to re-download OSX and do a clean system restore, it progressed nearly to completion and then aborted the system installation without completing.
    Since having this problem I've therefore been unable to use the computer in Mac mode. I had just about concluded that my hard disc must be replaced, when I decided to see if I could restart running Windows (bootcamp), and I was able to do that successfully. The hard disc is therefore not damaged, or at least the partition of the hard disc used by Windows is not damaged.
    Is my most likely option to replace the hard disc or is there something I can still do, in order to see if the hard disc can be restored using a saved backup, before I replace it?
    I have the further complication of finding that the Apple store will not replace the hard disc for my computer because it is over 5 years old. I can probably locate a shop such as Best Buy locally who can do that, or I can simply purchase an external hard disc and use that as my primary hard disc until I either replace the internal hard disc or simply replace the computer. Since it is a 7 year old iMac, it would not be surprising to have to replace the hard disc after this length of time. I also see that there are instructions available online to explain how to replace the internal hard disc myself, but I'm unsure at this point whether or not I want to do it myself.

    Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
    Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
    Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
    Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
    That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties.

  • Restart after 10.4.7 update

    I've updated two MacBooks to 10.4.7 since its release, and both have exhibited failures, with the grey restart screen appearing and subsequent failure to boot. The first seemed to come back to life after reseating the RAM, but eventually died again. I got POST chime, then white screen. Can't boot to CD or eject a CD in the drive. Can't boot to Target Disk Mode. Resetting PRAM (never get a second chime) and PMU gave no improvement.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Dual-boot Gentoo Linux

    Sounds like Disk Corruption, not sure what OS, but...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.

  • Can't Log Out, Shut Down, or Restart after 10.5.2 update

    Since updating I've been unable to log out any user, though I can switch between users via fast user switching. Selecting Restart, Shut Down, or Log Out [User] makes any active windows become inactive, but does nothing else. (The same happens selecting restart from the system prefs or an updater/installer.) After the 10.5.2 update I had a major kernel panic that locked-up the whole machine and had to hard shut down. I've had several mini-panics since then, but the machine operates normally otherwise. I did a thorough Apple Hardware test and everything passed. None of the utilities I ran could find any issues. I am able to Restart and Shut Down via the Login Window (under the fast user switching menu). I have to enter an Admin account override, so I'm not sure if this is causing any system damage. I'm very frustrated with my very new computer. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

    This is then not a permissions issue with your existing accounts since it is system wide.
    Your hope is that if you run Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions would fix and Apple Installer installed files (the main system) permissions. Also do a Verify Disk to check for any underlying directory corruption. The safe boot means the issue is not extensions or fonts. There could still be a plugin somewhere screwing things up but it is unlikely.
    If repairing the system file permissions and downloading and re-applying the 10.5.2 combo update does not resolve the issue you have corrupt files in the system and need to reinstall the system.
    There is one more potential source and that is what are known as page faults. These originate with cache files which can't be loaded back as expected. This is a conflict issue and could be the source of the problem.
    You can manually dump the root and system cache but a better alternative is probably to download a program like Yasu. It is configurable, has a simple interface and will repair permissions and clean the cache.

  • Rmbp 15" cant restart after 10.9.1 update!!! HELP

    So i downloaded the 10.9.1 update and everything went fine.
    Until the restart. Its just stuck at the white background, apple logo and spinning wheel beneath it.
    After leaving it for 30 minutes or so, and reading up on people who have had install hangs earlier in the process, I decided to force power down (holding power key down) and restarting.
    Same thing. Just is stuck and that apple logo.
    HELP!!!
    System details:
    - OS 10.9 (before upgrading)
    - rMbp 15" late 2013
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, 

    A couple of things to try. I think you may have a specific version of 10.9.1 that you need and not the 13B42 build that is offered from the App Store or from Apple's download page.
    1. Restart while holding the COMMAND+R keys. Choose Reinstall OS X Mavericks from the OS X Utilities Menu. This should download the full installer for 10.9.1 for your specific rMBP.
    2. If #1 doesn't work. Restart while holding the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys to envoke Internet Recovery. Choose Reinstall OS X Mavericks from the OS X Utilities Menu. This should download the full installer for 10.9.1 for your specific rMBP.
    Both of the above will not harm you data or apps. They will only reinstall OS X.

  • Mac stuck in restarting after 10.9.4 update

    Just downloaded OSX 10.9.4 update.  MAC is newish 13" Macbook Pro Retina.   Download went fine.  Mac screen says "Restarting".  Blue diagonal bars not moving.  "Wheel" is moving.  Been doing this for 3+ hours...
    Have to catch a flight in a few hours...
    Should I do a hard reset or wait??

    I spent the last couple of days replacing the original spinning disk in my late 2011 MacBook Pro to a Samsung EVO 840 SSD. After using Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my disk contents to the SSD, I rebooted and was using my Macbook for a couple of hours. I have 10.9.2 on it. I tried applying the 10.9.4 update earlier today, the screen got stuck at the "Restarting" prompt, though the barber pole progress meter was moving, after an 1.5 hours no progress was shown. I tried rebooting the mac as others have done above but in my case, it bricked the Macbook. I couldn't repair the drive at all. Fortunately I still had my original drive available and I am now re-cloning it a second time.
    Be warned. YMMV if you reboot a Macbook in the middle of an update. I will not be updating to 10.9.4 once it re-clones. I haven't had any issues with 10.9.2., and with all the other threads I've seen with people having issues with 10.9.3 and newer, it doesn't make sense in my case.

  • Mac Mini fails to restart after 10.4.5 update!

    Hi,
    Updated my Mac Mini to 10.4.5 this morning and restarted... now I'm getting the grey "panic" screen telling me I need to restart my computer. This can either happen virtually instantly or, as on a couple of occasions, when the OS X startup screen appears. Haven't tried anything else yet, but has anyone got any ideas before I start re-installing etc.?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Random restart after recent 10/14 update

    I installed the recent update yesterday and ever since have had random reboots. I have tried several manual reboots including pulling the battery but still rebooting on it's own. Anyone else here having the same problem? Posting on other sites indicate that others are experiencing the same problem. Need a fix immediately as the phone is just about useless to use!

    A factory reset fixed the issue for me. Also, another fix without resetting your phone if your are techy....
    As posted in the comments on Android Police:
    "To fix the problem... Turn phone off.....turn the phone on while holding the home, volume up, and the power button.... Release the power button once the phone vibrates, but continue holding the volume up and home until you reach the bootloader screen..... Use the volume rocker the highlight the wipe cache partition.....select by using the power button......once it is finished highlight reboot system now."
    Hope this helps!!!

  • My iMac wont restart after my last update alumni keyboard

    Please help, I am using my MacBook for this, my iMac will not restart after installing the last update, alumni keyboard....., after restarting, pushing the start button, all i see for hours, is the apple logo with the little circle spinning under the logo, please help, i already, disconnected, unplugged everything, used my original keyboard and mouse instead of my bluetooth, but nothing works, even ,power on while pushing option button etc. Anyone else know of this problem.Thanks in advance!

    The long tone is an indication that a firmware update is installing. Do you get a progress bar at the bottom of you screen after letting the power button go?
    Have you reset the PRAM? (cmdalt+PR when you restart the machine)
    Also repair permissions when the machine is up and running.

  • Powerbook won't restart after security update

    I can not get my Powerbook G4 to restart after the latest security update. It acts like the hard drive is not there. What can I do?

    The first thing to do would be to boot from the Install & Restore disc that came with your machine by:
    1. Inserting the disc, pressing the power button, and immediately after the startup chime, press and hold the C key until you see the spinning gear icon appear on the grey splash screen.
    2. After the machine has booted, pick your language, and when the Installer window appears, do not press Continue, but go to the Utilities menu in the menubar and open Disk Utility.
    3. In Disk Utility, choose your normal startup volume in the pane on the left and then click Repair Disk. If any errors show in the window, run Repair Disk again until you see 'The volume appears to be OK' in green.
    4. Quit Disk Utility, quit the installer and attempt to restart into your regular startup volume.
    If that doesn't get you anywhere, you may need to re-install the OS from those disks.

  • Macbook Pro running slow/(crawling) after 10.9.4 update

    I paste in information on the system from EtreCheck below.
    The Macbook is really crawling very slowly.
    It may be a coincidence, but happened when I restarted after the latest software update 1st july from OSX 10.9.3 to OSX 10.9.4
    Regarding How does it behave/How slow:?
    Now, every task that may require the use of resources not recently used (menus, lists etc.) will take exceedingly long time. For example after the desktop appears with the top menu, it will take 3-4 min before any menus can be pulled down, same with dock, 3-4 min to show up. Clicking an app, 3-4 min before launches. Then after launched, some apps may run OK, for example Logic Pro.
    When working in the Finder. Opening a folder may take 3-4 min, before the the file list shows. Then selecting a file - takes a minute before it gets hi-lighted. But is then fast to drag to an open folder on the backup drive. Copying a folder to a backup drive, is also fast.
    Another example: It took two hours from logging in at this Forum, until getting here to post.!! (I'll read answers from another machine)
    What I have done:
    I have backed up with Time Machine,, in addition to manually backing up files.
    I have ran Disk Utility and it reports the hard  disk is OK. I have ran fix permission, only two were fixed. No difference.
    I have reset the System Management Controller (SMC). No difference.
    It is not a network problem, My network is fast and smooth with other devices,
    I don't want to change hard drive 'just in case'. It fast to restore files from the backup. However
    I  have many licences apps and contents which will take several weeks to restore.  I've done that before.
    Is it likely that it is the hard disk that is failing without disk utility having a clue?

    You ask some  (5) questions regarding the output of Etrecheck
    Re #4 :"Have you tried uninstalling the fastestyoutubedownloader.com user launch agent, in case that’s causing a problem?"
    Yes, now I have.  Now it takes 40 min. from powerup to the login screen.!
    My system report  showed as I posted, before the removal:
    "User Launch Agents:
      [failed] com.fastestyoutubedownloader.TrialExpired.GoldFreeFirstWeek.plist"
    I am ignorant about the matter.  I too was surprised to find that item and the conspiracy deamon on my left shoulder had wild thoughts.
    The app that generated the Launch Agent must have been FastestYouTubeDownloader.app,
    It was downloaded as an app and no uninstaller. I think it was supposed to run fast  the first week, and if you paid for it(upgrade license), it would remain fast or else work slowly. I tried it on one file and then threw it in the trash, as I would have no more use for it. But a nagging/promo dialog telling me the trial period was over came up 1st july, while the nagging came up I was notified (by appstore) that a new update of my system required a restart. I pressed that, my system was updated to 10.9.4 and after the update everything was slow. So the conspiracy deamon was whispering that maybe the app had made everything slow, by mistake, and not just the FastestYouTubeDownloader.
    I really don't think so.
    But I think the developers have to leave a mark somewhere to tell them that I have tried the software and maybe they have chosen the User Launch Agent for this?  Then trying to remove it may just cause more problems, since it is not anything I should be able to do for obvious reasons.
    I couldnt see what it was really doing from its content, it seems to me it should do nothing if the application was not found.
    Re # 1 and #2
    I have had these drivers all the time and not experienced problems with earlier versions of Mavericks.
    Also, the ZOOM and the GR-55 is not connected.
    Both had at least their own kernel-extension, a launch agent and a preference panel, but possibly more.
    But I have now tried the Uninstaller that accompanies the GR-55 driver  to remove it.  It gave no improvements.
    Re # 5
    I have apperently two Flash Players, both have the same version number, one is outdated.?

    I have no idea, what the following listing
    Launch Agents:
      [invalid] entries
    may refer to. In my HD/Library/LaunchAgents folder I only have
    "com.zoom.R16DeviceManager.plist" the other entry in the report with same file name with added extension  ".svn-base" I have no idea where is coming from.
    I think this is not my primary problem though? even if  I am curious where it comes from.
    My Conclusions
    Obviously with a boot time of more than 45 min  doing diagosics and tests takes long time.
    The Disk Utility verifies the disk as OK.   Onyx verifies the disk as OK (mabe the same test?).
    I think my maachine is just getting worse.  There must be a serious problem, not  just a fine tuning issue.
    The conspiracy deamon on my other sholder tells me that Apple have decided its time for me to buy a new computer again :-) ,It  would have been a good idea if not for the pain of  reinstalling licensed software which will require a 2 week vacaition doing nothing but restoring, Possibly having to purchase new licences costing more than the computer.
