First kernel panic in years - anyone have any thoughts?

I can't even remember the last time I had a kernal panic and all my old material about translating them seems unhelpful - anyone have any thoughts about this:
Sat May 28 21:16:16 2011

Thanks for any suggestions!

Linc, could I ask you to look at my log as well? I started having kernel panics just about everyday a few weeks ago. I thought it was related to Intellij IDEA software (coding IDE), but now I am getting panics even when not running that. The latest log is below. Thanks!

  • After years without a problem, I am suddenly unable to remote share my work computer at home.  I haven't done any updates recently and did not make any changes.  Anyone have any thoughts?

    After years without a problem, I am suddenly unable to remote share my work computer at home.  I haven't done any updates recently and did not make any changes to the setup.  It was working Monday night and stopped working Tuesday morning.  I am at a loss for what could have happened.   Anyone have any thoughts?

    it sounds like your work changed something on their network.  Try asking your IT people if they recently blocked any ports related to remote management or changed their firewall settings to block incoming connections.

    Hi,
    Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
    This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

  • I HAVE ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 10.  I used to have many options on the "Disc Menu" to set up my DVD.. and now it is very limited..almost no templates. I try to sign in to my account through Premiere and it will never sign on.  Anyone have any thoughts??

    I HAVE ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 10.
    Problem #1   I used to have many options on the "Disc Menu" to set up my DVD.. and now it is very limited..almost no templates.
    Problem #2   I try to sign in to my account through Premiere and it will never sign on...just keeps acting like its trying to but never connects.  Anyone have any thoughts??

    With versions earlier than 11, there is no more Sign In. If you get any message to that effect, ignore and cancel out of them. You should be able to move forward to your import, editing, and exports using the program nonetheless.
    As for the disc menus, those marked photoshop.com plus members only are no longer available to you in versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 11. You may see the thumbnails for those members only items, but they are no longer available to you in Premiere Elements earlier than 10.
    Interestingly, many of them are found in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as part of the program with no need to purchase them or have any special membership in anything. Adobe has promoted Adobe Revel as a replacement for photoshop.com, but that has no impact on this disc menus issue.
    This all has to do with Adobe discontinuing photoshop.com and photoshop.com plus et al.
    If you need to download regular disc menus for Premiere Elements 10, please review the following
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE 7, 8, 9,10: Content Download
    Bottom lines:
    1. No more Sign In for Premiere Elements 10
    2. No access to photoshop.com plus (members only) disc menus
    Any questions or need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

    i added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

    Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
    If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine. 
    This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file

  • I am trying to use the business card template, but every time I go to copy/paste, my original image won't paste, and everything else disappears.  Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    I am trying to use the business card template.  But every time I go to copy/paste my original image (which I have grouped according to directions) it won't paste, and everything else disappears.  Anyone got any thoughts on this?

    OK I'll bite.
    What business card template?
    What directions?
    What Pages?
    What OSX? Somehow I don't believe the Mac OSX 10.5.8.

  • Lion gave me a first Kernel panic in years

    Hello,
    I hadn't seen a kernel panic in many years
    I got one this morning on Lion
    What happened, is that my mouse batteries (logitech V470) were going down
    so I changed them as I did so many times
    Whwn the mouse restarted, with a blue signal looking for connection
    Lion gave me a kernel panic
    Nothing else was active (as apps) on the computer !!
    Hope it is related only to the mouse
    Just don't like kernel panics.....

  • Some odd results... anyone have any thoughts?

    Hi - I have quite a few sequences that I've exported from FCE 4 to compressor, and imported in DVDSP4. I've created a track joining all of the sequences together. It's worked well so far. Recently, I did a batch export from compressor, and got some wierd results, that shows up in DVDSP. (I've never done a batch export before). When I try to simulate the playing of the sequence, I get a green screen, and in the track, I get hollow squares. I've tried to re-export to DVD one sequence as a test, and that seemed to import fine. Does anyone have an opinion on the greenscreen/squares wierdness? Btw, the audio seems just fine.

    Hey Ira, how are you?
    Sounds like a bad encode/corrupted asset or perhaps you used a codec that was not processed properly.
    You can also try deleting the PAR/MPEG files beforre going through encoding again or delete preferences just in case

  • I'm suddenly getting the kernel panic message and constant restarts when connected to the time machine wireless network. if is switch to the BT network, all fine. no help found so far as to what's wrong or how to correct, anyone have any thoughts...

    Recently upgraded to mountain lion in order to buy the new tall tower for time machine backups. had to get technical support to help with set up as it wouldn't play ball with two computers. all working fine up until last week when the iMac started getting backup error messages. then system restarts independently when using time machine on the time machine wireless network. only stops restarting when I switch the wireless network back to he bt one, which is a pain obviously as can't back up to time machine then.  it has to be a problem with airport utility or something wireless but all says all up to date with software etc. all still works fine backing up from laptop on the wireless network, just the iMac is not happy. any help or thoughts very much appreciated.

    Hi, many thanks Bob, what you say is not unthinkable at all, although it does answer the question
    "what could I do *instead* of ..." rather than the one I actually asked, but seriously ...
    Shutting down might be an answer, although it would clear out my tmp directory - which I might not want to have to sort through looking for things I want to save every time I go to work, and also, now that nvram doesn't seem to work for disabling the boot chime, it can get a bit embarassing booting up in a busy meeting if I have forgotten to mute before I shut down. There are all sorts of other issues, such as editing documents, loading web pages and so on that I would have to set up again.
    Your suggestion of letting Apple know is a good one - thank you for the link.
    Take care,
    Mark

  • First kernel panic in 3 years... why?

    Guys,
    I'm not really worried about this since it's my first Kernel Panic in 3 years. But, if you have any idea why it happened based on the log below, I'd like to know, so I could avoid doing whatever I did wrong... thanks.

    It looks like something with the smb filesystem, possibly when you were accessing windows shares over the network?

  • After updating to IOS7 I have lost a years worth of pictures and my wi-fi keeps dropping out.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    After updating to IOS7 I have lost a years worth of pictures and my wi-fi keeps dropping out.  Anyone have any similar problems or suggestions?

    Re wifi:
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Hi - I have just bought my first IPAD and I need to transfer from my MAC a 'recipe file' consisting of many, doc and docx files - I have also just bought Keynote to do this but I can't seem to transfer,, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

    Hi - I have just bought my first IPAD [3 rd gen, no wifi] and one of the things I want it to do is to accept transfered word files
    preferably as folders from my MAC - I just bought Keynote but it doesn't seem to work. My files are all doc and docx so I think
    perhaps looking into it more I should have bought Pages instead,, but I don't want to spend more money on another app if
    possible. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
    The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
    Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

    You need to give some more info.
    How are you publishing your site - iWeb FTP or another application? If the latter, is the encoding set to Unicode (UTF-8)?
    Who is giving you this message - the server?
