Brand new iMac crashing often - is it ML??
I just bought my 27" iMac in July, and hadn't any problems for the first few weeks. With upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've noticed my OS is crashing very regularly. It's not a typical Kernal Panic, though, at least not what I'm used to. The iMac will freeze, if there's any audio it'll stutter for a few seconds, and then the screen will go grey (but not the shade that comes from the top down), and a message will come up saying to press any key to restart the computer, or just wait for it to boot on it's own.
Is this a Mountain Lion issue? It wasn't happening during the first few weeks I had this new Mac when it was on 10.7.4.
Here's the accompanying problem report that comes up after every reboot:

That is the problem with kernel extensions. You are always using them. They have modified your operating system. Even the latest versions may not be compatible. You may have to completely remove them.

Video converters from app store and online making my brand new iMac crash continuously, why?
I have downloaded various video converters from the app store and online and it seems that no matter which one I use they all make my brand new iMac (I've had it less than 2 weeks) crash. I've wiped the disk once and reinstalled mountain lion twice as directed when I rang apple and I'm still encountering the same problem.
I would really like to find a way to fix this problem without having my mac sent away for repairs.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or know how I could fix it?Sat Apr 13 17:31:59 2013

Brand New iMac Crash (twice in one day)
I just bought a brand new 27inch iMac 2 weeks ago - its running Mavericks
Today I came home to find the computer switched off. I turned it back on and then later in the day came back to find it off again.
I went to terminal and typed "last" and saw two crashes listed (see below). My question is, how can I find out what caused the crash? Its a brand new machine, has 32gb ram and 3.5ghz i7.

Check the current hbernate mode with this terminal command.
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
The a google search for the options available.
It seems that with certain hibernate modes the system goes into Deep Sleep, Hibernate, and crashes when coming out of it. So if your system is doinig that disable the Deep Sleep, hibernate mode, and test.
The hibernate mode is where the system write RAM data to the Sleep Image files on the hard drive and then is supposed to load that back into RAM when you wake it up. Somewhere in that process the system crashes. -
My brand new iMac is often extremely slow to open applications

Apr 30, 2015, 07:40:38 PM Self test - passedHi, actually it is mostly the Word and Excel for Mac that are slow to launch - but not always ! That's the frustrating thing: it can be quite fast sometimes; and sometimes exceedingly slow (up to 30 seconds). The kind of problem for which you turn in your PC to the store and they never see the issue; until you get back home with it. When it is slow; I try to observe with activity monitor what else is going on. But there is nothing really noteworthy to me.
I am pleasantly surprised that nobody -yet- has mentioned the super obvious fact that I bought a Mac and should not be using Microsoft products like Word and Excel. For me though, it is needed and in fact the availability of Office for mac was the very fact that made me go for Apple anyway and has taken away the last doubts to do so. Sadly the Office product does not really deliver: macro's are very slow to run (see plenty of other support posts and google results). This ticket though is specifically about the launch speed of the application.
About the fonts: the 100 euro Office software sadly did not mention in big black letters that it would create unhealthy fonts on my mac.
So for starting up in safe mode: I'd need to run my mac a very long time in safe mode before I could judge whether the launch speed is in that case ALWAYS fast, but thanks for the tip anyway. How does one delete Fonts ? According to the Font Book app everything was fine with my fonts. -
Brand new imac 27" keeps crashing. I'm running 10.9.2 with all software up to date. It will crash on file tranfers to/from/between external drives, web browsing, word processing, video editing, and even while idling. It used to crash every 15 minutes when I first got it but I reformatted and reinstalled all software. Now it it still crashing albeit less often. This is extremely frustrating because I have no idea what I can do to prevent it from happening!
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.Hmm thanks for the input. Alright. I uninstalled Avast. Was good for an hour or so. I was doing some file browsing and crashed again. Got this message.

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.
If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins. -
Final Cut X Keeps Crashing with Brand New iMac
I have a brand new iMac (3.2GHz Quad-core Intel i5, 8GB SDRAM, 1TB ATA, 1GB GGDR5) and have done almost nothing on it before downloading the trial version of Final Cut Pro X. I was used to Final Cut 7 and wanted to try out X before purchasing.
I have one project and one event in Final Cut X, it's only a 4 minute video of mostly images, some video and two audio tracks. Every time I try and add any effect like a simple crop/Ken Burns or cross disolve to one of the pictures, Final Cut crashes.
Most of the stuff on here says to delete your preferences or repair disk permissions. I have repaired disk permissions and it still crashes. And as far as preferences, it says to use an app from Digital Rebellion to delete any preferences but I don't think I even have any to delete. I went to system folder -> Library -> Preferences and looked for any FinalCut.plist files to delete and there are none.
I'm wondering if certain photos I'm using are corrupted, but it would appear they all are then. I imported them from a file, would it help to import them from iPhoto? Is there something else I could do to fix those photo files? Or anything else I could try to get Final Cut from crashing?Thanks for your reply Russ. I'm not sure what you mean by Preference Manager. Am I looking in the correct place for preference files? (Users > Library > Preferences)
Are you saying that even though I may not find them in the Prefereces Folder, an app like Digital Rebellion would help me find them?
I'll try testing a new project but the problem is I can't isolate the problem clip because it seems to be crashing anytime I try and add effects to any photo. Do you know of an app that I could run photos through to "uncorrupt" them?
And when you say create a new user account, you mean at the system level of the computer? -
I've got a brand new iMac, which frequently crashes, and blames the kernel_task, coreaudiod, FileStatsAgent, PluginProcess or Rome Total War.
I've included the most recent kernel panic.
I've run the dianostics, which came back clea, no issues ( Does this mean I'm out of the woods regarding hardware issues? ).
Any help appreciated.

Thunderbolt Bus: iMac, Apple Inc., 23.10Did this happen before 10.9.2? I have been having issues since 10.9.2 on my Early 2011 MBP and was able to definitively narrow it down to apple's graphics driver logic.
How did I come to this conclusion?
- Boot from my carbon copy cloner bootable backup and open an app that requires the discrete GPU (photoshop), gfxCardStatus indicates discrete GPU activated. Result: No problem
- Boot OS X without any startup items (If you have a problem with the automatic resume launching a discrete GPU requiring app before you get to quit .....hold SHIFT immediately after you start logging in)
- Open the same app under 10.9.2. Result : Screen flashes, gfxCardStatus indicates discrete active, OS X logs me out.
- Install standalone 10.9.2 package. Repeat steps. Result: SAME
- Create new account (in case it has to do with something I am not seeing). Repeat steps. Result: immediate logout (no extensions active etc on the new account)
So now i have a ton of kernel panics and crash reports from the window server from repeatedly testing different variations of my hypothesis. Conclusion: issue with automatic graphics swicthing.
So what I'm saying is it is possible that you do not have a hardware problem, but was just unlucky enough to get an iMac /w 10.9.2 on it. If that's the case then I would just recommend holding off for a lil 'till a fix is released. -
IChat will not launch from my brand new iMac - What do i need to do?
Just purchased a brand new iMac 24". Really nice machine except that iChat will not launch. I click on the icon but it just bounces once and does nothing. Any ideas what i need to do please?
Hi deano68,
Very odd.
OK I think we have at least one app that has not installed properly.
It could also be that a Font is missing. Certain Apple Apps will not launch if Helvetica is not active in the Font Book.
There are two ways to reinstall the Application.
Both are listed here in Ryan's FAQ.
Both methods require that you download the Combo Install and run that as well.
This catches all the iChat Updates that come with OS updates so that iChat and the OS are at the same level.
You might want to try the Combo Update on it's own first before the Reinstall as it often sorts things.
The link in the FAQ to downloads may not work now since the Apple Site has been reorganised.
They are now here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/

Mavericks on brand new iMac is very slow
I have a brand new iMac with the basic configuration and the latest version of Mavericks. I use iLife, iWork, Photoshop, Office, Dropbox and Mailplane as the main programs but it is very slow. I did not restore from a Time Machine backup and installed all programs and files separately but I often get the beachball and the computer is often very slow, it also takes a while to start up. Is there any way to see what is slowing everything down?
When I look at the activity monitor there are hundreds of processes but kernel_task always seems to be using 700mb+.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.Hi, thanks for helping. Here are the results from your program.
In response to the other poster's question the beachball happens with iMOvie, iPhoto, Mailplane and photoshop.
Thanks..---

I have litterally just bought my iMac with 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 and 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 so why is Word barely functioning?! I have more than enough free memory but Word is operating so slowly it takes a full minute for the cursor to stop spinning after selecting a section of the page to start typing in....it is utterly unusable in this state and I am very angry that this should even be an issue with a brand new iMac!
I would really appreciate any help or advice you have to offer.Will not use up a license.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

Brand new iMac freezes constantly! Updates aren't helping!
Hello everyone,
This past Sunday I bought a brand new iMac intel Core 2 Duo with a 250 GB HDD and 1 GB of RAM. At home I set it up with my SAMSUNG 1080p 22" monitor, Apple bluetooth Keyboard and mightymouse, and a Western Digital 350 GB HDD hooked up via USB. I was excited to finally jump on the intel-based Mac bandwagon, as well as experience dual monitors for the first time.
That was Sunday. Tuesday evening I was watching "Rome" on itunes on my Samsung monitor while surfing the web with Omniweb on the iMac monitor. All of sudden, everything locked up. I was able to move my cursor, but nothing responeded to my clicking. I hard booted the system and loaded everything I had going again, and sure enough, it locked up a few moments later. I ran system update, updated everything, then restarted. Time went by and although not immediatly, later that night it froze up on me again.
Fast forward to last nite, and the freezing reached and all time high. 5 times. Each time was when I had a browser open in my iMac window and I had Quicktime playing in my Samsung monitor. I was watching a sports program, with the player fit to the screen.
I have read many posts about intel iMacs freezing late last year, but there was a firmware update that evidently fixed that. I have this update installed, and I have had no luck. I have even contacted Apple Care via phone where I got instructed to unplug everything, plug it back in, start in safe mode, and delete cache. That didn't help me out at all. Am I right insuspecting I have a faulty Video card? I just ordered 4GB of RAM, could this be a RAM issue?When diagnostics are run on a freezing computer and nothing shows, I'll put the program into a testing loop because this means one of two things: the issue is heat related so running the diagnostics several more times will bring on the heat so that the issue shows up or the installed RAM is marginal, just flaky enough to show up now and again but not so far off that a run through of the memory test catches it on the first run.
As I said in my original post, memory is always a suspect in a freezing or kernel panicking computer. And it does tend to top my list. But from what you describe I'm not quite willing to say, "Why don't you just wait until the RAM upgrade arrives?" -
I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.
The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

About four years ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended while I was in undergrad. I downloaded it to my Mac. Since then, I've purchased a brand new iMac. Can I use this same software? I know it's been four years so the software is very updated, AND my new iMac does NOT have a cd drive. This may all be in vain. I'm just clueless! Thanks!
Emalexander89 you are welcome to install Photoshop CS4 on your new Mac. You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.
