Forced to restart computer

For the past two days I have received a warning message that said I need to restart my computer in several languages. I have never seen this message before and have been using a Mac for years. Today it stopped during the middle of a WebX Training session and it was quite inconvenient. What is going on? Have I got some type of bug going on. Anybody else had this problem and if so is there a solution other than restarting? It freezes it up so you have no other choice.

Kernel Panic - generally hardware, can be running too hot, have a bad cable, tends to require trial-and-error to rule out what it isn't first to find what it is causing it.
a panic is an unrecoverable system error
When the kernel crashes on Mac OS X, the system displays a panic message. At this point the system will have to be restarted. But before hitting the power button, how can one find out what caused the crash?
This technote addresses kernel panics: what they are and how to debug the code that caused the panic.

When I remove iPod (shuffle), I'm forced to restart computer

I have seen some posts about iPods forcing a restart upon connection, but my problem is when I physically remove the iPod (after ejecting it), I then get a message from iTunes that I must restart my computer. The message is right, because everything is frozen up. This is the first time I've had this kind of issue with the iPod (it's a year old). I seem to recall having downloaded the latest version of iTunes right before this started happening. Any advice would be appreciated.

Do you have any other USB devices connected?

At times when dragging the vertical scroll bar my computer screen oscillates up and down for some time before going blank or not responding to any clicks requiring a forced system restart. What is wrong?

Hi,
Suddenly while working with Firefox if I happen to drag the vertical scroll bar, a very abnormal behavior occurs. My screen dances up and down for a short time before either going black or getting restored but with no clicks working. The only way to resume is to force a restart of the system.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepak

That didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

Mac Mail won't open after waking computer up. Have to force quit & restart

Hi there,
My mail won't open 85% of the time unless I force quit and restart my computer. Then, after my computer goes to sleep, I click on the stamp on my dock, and nothing happens. My computer says its still open. I've tried quitting mail and reopening from my Applications folder. I've deleted the icon on the dock and tried to access from Applications, but still, nothing happens, and I have to force quit my computer and restart over and over again to use the mail.
Any one have an idea for me? I have my gmail and another personal email set up as IMAP. Could there be a glitch in the way I set that up? Mail seems to come and go fine, when it's active.
Thanks in advance for your time and any help

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm having the exact same problem and it really just started a couple days ago.

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Restart-Computer remotely with Local Admin

Hello;
I manage my company's server and AD infrastructure, containing hundreds of Windows 2012 R2 servers. I also patch all of my servers monthly. The biggest challenge in patching servers, is the fact that they need to be restarted every month, in
order for the patches to finish installing.
We have a certain group of servers, that need to have their restarts specifically scheduled. The services offered by these servers are managed by a specific group of IT Pros. However, this group of IT Pros do not have Local Administrative permissions
on these servers (nor do they need it to do there jobs).
I would like to enable this group to remotely restart these servers every month using the 'Restart-Computer' powershell command, without granting them Local Admin (that way, I won't need to get up at 3am every month to do this myself). I've tried adding
them to the following "User Rights Assignment": "Force shutdown from a remote system" and "Shut down the system".
But, they still get an "Access Denied" error message. What am I missing? Is this even possible? I've searched for hours now, but with no luck.

Thank you for the reply, but I had already tried those suggestions. Here's what I've tried so far:
First, as I mentioned before, I've added the admins to the following "User Rights Assignment": "Force shutdown from a remote system" and "Shut down the system". Then I temporarily added the admins to the "Allow log
on locally" user rights assignment so that I may log on to the server as the admins and prove that the admins can indeed restart the local server. From the server console, the admin was able to launch a powershell session and run the "Restart-Computer"
command, and the server restarted perfectly.
So that part worked just fine. But I would like to get the admins to remotely restart the servers, without granting them the "Allow log on locally". Another thing I tried, was to create a new remote PSSession, and then run the Restart-Computer
command from there. At first, the New-PSSession gave me an access denied error message. That's when I ran the Get-PSSessionConfiguration command, and I noticed that the "Builtin\Remote Management Users" group was allowed access.
So I added the Admins to that group on one of the servers. Now the New-PSSession command worked. But the Restart-Computer still gives me an Access Denied error message.
Here are the commands that I am using.
First, running the Restart-Computer from the admin's workstation:
Restart-Computer -ComputerName SERVER01
Second, running the Restart-Computer command from with a remote PSSession.
New-PSSession -ComputerName SERVER01
Enter-PSSession 2
Restart-Computer
Either way, I get an access denied message.

MDT 2012 State Restore Phase hangs at Restart-Computer Task

Background:
MDT2012 only for OSD. Configuring Win7 Enterprise x86 for Reference Image creation with Apps installed.
Configuration is being done with a VMWare VM.
Problem:
I have an issue where the sequence hangs on a later Restart Computer task. Applications finish installing successfully according to the logs. I have no idea why it stops.
I have a couple restart computer tasks earlier in the sequence that all run fine. only after some applications are installed does the Restart Computer hang up.
If I force a restart at that point I get the "dirty environment found" error. If I select to not start a new install my previous sequence picks up and continues where it should.
When hung up the computer is responsive as I am able to check the logs. The SMSTS log says the reboot was successful, but it didnt actually happen.
Here is the last bit of the SMSTS.LOG file.

I have tried reordering the list of apps. I am continuing to enable and disable app installs. I was hoping people would have come across this and had a fix for this.

How to I keep Firefox installed, after shutting down or restarting computer?

After a successful install, I use Firefox, all is great. Problem is, when I shut down, or restart computer, all shortcuts, start menu Firefox, etc. no longer work, and icons are all windows icons, and all the shortcuts, etc. say files had been moved. I uninstall, restart coomputer,install again, successfully, and, same thing again. I am having to uninstall/install everytime I am restarting computer. Is there something I am suppose to check or uncheck after installing? Like compatibility mode, or something? My os is vista home premium 64bit. This happened the first time and everytime.

Click the Apple icon, then choose Force Quit. In the list of programs that comes up, Mail probably has Not Responding next to it. Choose it and force quit it.

My iPhoto won't open or close on Mac. I can't restart computer as it says it is open, but it won't display.

My iPhoto has always worked fine. Now I can't get it to open. Light under it in the dock is illuminated but the app won't open or close. Tried to restart computer but message indicated I had to close iPhoto first. I tried closing everything else and shutting power off, then turning back on. Illuminated iPhoto app on dock remains and I still can't open or close. Is this a common problem? I've never had this happen. I have over 5,000 photos - I'd hate to lose them!

Thank you. It would not Force Quit and I got no error messages and Apple icon indicated all software was up to date. However I think the problem is solved. I used Spotlight and typed in iPhoto. When i clicked on iPhoto icon there was a message that photos needed to be upgraded. I selected upgrade and it now works!
Yes, the upgrading of the library was standard with this latest iPhoto update. Glad to see you are up and running again.

Mountain 10.8.2 do not like '.exe' file at all !! IT gets Hanged and then Force to restart

After Update with 10.8.2. The System get hang (stuck)
I had to do a forced restart, several time and even a ReBoot in safety more.
AND I FIGURED OUT WHY :
I realized that in one of my folder (Download) I had an ".exe" File; Than have been downloaded (because i got Parallel Desktop that neable window7 to run under the Mac), and causes the problem (system is hanged)
Then when I reboot in safety mode I deleted that file. And Then everything went OK.
But when I plugged my USB key, I got again my system that turn to stop... Then again Force to Restart, remove the USB Key.
Guess what!! In the USB Key (at the root) there was again some '.exe' Files...
In conclusion :
There is an issue with that new release of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 that cause the system to get hang, when "Finder" meet an '.exe' file.
It occurs only when you open your "Finder" then go throughout some folder where you have placed some '.exe' file. Then your system will not respond anymore. You got to force the restart
Just to make it clear, of course I do not want to run an '.exe' file under Mac.
But If like me you have Parallel Desktop in order to run Window7 or 8; you might have some '.exe' file that are located in your Mac Folder…..
Then, when you open 'Finder' and you walk through your folder and meet an '.exe' file, thus you system will freeze!!
Work Arround Solution, that's only happen if your '.exe' File is not associtaed to be open under Window Explorer (if you have Parallel Desktop, of course).
Then, make sure to associate the extension '.exe' to Window Explorer, if you have some '.exe' File that are located in your folder or USB key,
Otherwise your system will freeze and you will have to force the restart.
Cheers

That right I do not need to have any .exe file in my Mac environment; but having
installed Parallel Desktop (to have a Window Environment, due to business matters)
you might have from time to time some of that files ins download area or in the USB key.
The Test I made is very simple : I placed an .exe file in an USB Key; then plug in to my Mac
then from Finder open the folder where was that exe file…. Guess what ???
My computer get FREEZE (no respond)… I got to reboot.
Then I do not know what's going on. With the previous version (10.8.1) I never got such of issue ?
Here is the log beofre I had to restart:

MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart

Hi, as mentioned in the header : MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart
After the battery drains to 0% the computer switches off.... *Makes sense*
Once I put the charger power chord back in for an extended period of time I hit the power button and then see the login screen.... *Makes sense*
However it won't let me type into the login box therefore having to force a restart and lose any saved data or data open when it died of battery. *WEIRD*
This happens every time my computer runs out of battery. I understand that obviously not letting the laptop die is a good idea, however it seems like there is something wrong as it allows me to login yet won't let me type anything...
Any solutions? Anyone else experience this?
I have an early 2012 MacBook Pro - 15 Inch Screen.

Hi s4mboy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd start with resetting the SMC and PRAM on the MacBook Pro:

Message "you need to restart computer" when shutdown Mac OS X or WIN7

On my book Pro with Mac OS X 0.7.2 i creted a new Bootcamp Partition and i installed WIN7 Ultimate. When installation was completed i installed Bootcamp driver. Now i'm able to login with OS x or with Win7 and both system seems to work properly.
When i shutdown Win7 or OSX a gray window is displayed with this message "YOU NEED TO RESTART COMPUTER. HOLD DOWN YHE POWER BUTTON UNTIL IT TURNS OFF, THEN PRESS THE POWER BUTTON AGAIN."; this message is displayed in 5 different langueges; under the message is displayed a black icon with the force shutdown / restart button of the mac book pro.
I follow the required procedure: if i choose to restart with OS X an alert essage is dispayed : "COMPUTER WAS RESTARTED DUE TO A PROBLEM"; dialog suggest to send notification to Apple; this message is displayed in my original language: Italian.
Some one can help me please?
Thx

That is hardware and driver issue and to resolve you are probably going to have to find what was installed and uninstall, and disconnect the device.
AppleHFS.sys can have trouble mounting drives.
To write to Windows, NTFS driver (Paragon-Software)
To stop using AppleHFS, again, replace with a Windows HFS driver
- if that is the cause
Apple does not support mounting RAID while in Windows.
Reinstall won't help. And you can't avoid forever.
Also boot from Windows 7 DVD and repair - go back to prior restore point.

Forced second restart required after every s/w upgrade

As the subject title says...
on one of my two G4 Macs, after every/any software update that REQUIRES a restart, the restart never completes on it's own. I can actually hear the HD NOT having any disk activity. It just hangs when the screen goes from grey to blue with the spinning sprocket thingy.
If I hold the power button in until it forces a restart (iBook) it then reboots fine and the second attempt. Why?Why?Why?
This started maybe 2 years ago and never went away. It's just annoying more than anything else.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then 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, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD...

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
