Fresh Install, Fully Updated Leopard Server Keeps rebooting on its own

Just upgraded to Leopard Server from Tiger.
Fresh, new install, fully updated.
Only software installed is Retrospect 6 and Drobo client.
My Server keeps rebooting by itself after 5-10 after logging in.
Won't reboot on it's own if I don't log in. The services are running in the background.
But once I log in as admin, after 5-10 mins, it will reboot on it's own.
Any ideas are where I should start looking on how to resolve this?

You're going to get to try to isolate this.
Any details from the crash report? (Applications -> Utilities -> Console.) Basically you're going to have to dig around in the crashes, and (if there's nothing obvious there) then, well, "try different configurations and different stuff".
This could be bad memory or a bad sector somewhere on the disk, for instance. Or a bad processor. Or a corrupt file. Or a bug in whichever Leopard Server baselevel is involved here.
Some steps and some options...
Disconnect all external hardware.
Run the hardware diagnostics for whichever box is involved here.
See if the box crashes if you log in as some other user.
See if the box crashes with no external hardware, or with no network connected.
If the box isn't under warranty (and any user crashes the box) (and if you're familiar with and comfortable with working inside static-senstive electronics gear), crack it open and reseat everything.
If the system is available to restore or you can blank and install, reinstall everything and leave both Retrospect and Drobo, and see if it crashes. Then add one or the other and see if that crashes stuff, rinse, lather and repeat.
Or you can call up Apple and ask for help.

Since installing Firefox 29, my router constantly reboots on its own

Since installing Firefox 29, my router constantly reboots on its own. Is anyone else having this problem? And could it indeed be caused by Firefox?

Do you have any security software that may undo changes and restore a previous setup?

Z10 keeps rebooting on its own 10.2.1.2977 version installed

Reboots about twice per day randomly on its own. Has been getting worse lately.

Hello,
First, please confirm your OS level...is 10.2.1.2977 your "Software Release" or your OS Version? The OS version is the number that is the most important.
If .2977 is your OS level, then it is not terribly current. There were at least two more versions, in the .3nnn range, after that, as well as 10.2.2.1531...all of which are more stable than what something as old as .2977 would be. So, rather than trying to fix what you have, I recommend you instead update your device to something more current.
Via the on-device as well as LINK methods, you will be restricted to what your carrier has allowed:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-Smartphone/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-OS/t...
But, via Sachesi or AutoLoader, you will be able to use any version for which you can find the proper files:

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Given what you describe, I would recommend you use the AutoLoader method, and indeed use this process:
Take a full backup via LINK
Manually copy all of your data files from both Device and Media card to your computer
Fully document your configuration (email accounts, screen layouts, configuration preferences, etc.)
WIPE your device
Load your OS via AutoLoader
WIPE your device
Restore from the backup taken
If things operate normally, then stop here
If things do not operate normally, then redo the process starting at step 4, but at step 7 restore only your Settings and nothing else, and reconfigure the rest manually from the documentation you created in step 3.
If things still do not operate normally, then again redo the process from step 4, but skip step 7 entirely and instead manually reconfigure everything via the documentation created in step 3
Good luck and let us know!

Ipod Classic 120G keeps rebooting on its own

I bought this new ipod 120g classic and it keeps on rebooting by itself randomly. This happens like around four to five times a day. When I click something it turns off and just shows that apple logo sign for a while. Is there a solution to this problem? I have done the software updates but doesnt seem to handle it

I have the same issue. My brand new iPod Classic was working fine with firmware 2.0. I just synched up and downloaded the 2.0.1 update, and the thing has rebooted in its dock 3 times in the last 20 minutes.
Model is an MB562. Thats the generation 2 iPod Classic. Its two weeks old.

My I Mac keeps rebooting on its own

Check and make sure you don't have any programs that need to access the machine (Eye TV???) and that faxes or bluetooth peripherals don't wake it.

Photoshop CC 2014 (fresh installed and updated) does not recognize my graphic processor (NVIDIA GTX 840)

Photoshop CC 2014 (fresh installed and updated) does not recognize my graphic processor (NVIDIA GTX 840) but instead only a Intel HD 4600. How do I ensure that PS is using the full phardware power of my notebook. My OS is WIN 8.1 Thanks for your help, Meik

In the end it was the NVIDIA software - excluding PS as application for support by high performance graphic processor to save energy - activated NVIDIA card use for PS & LR all fine now.

Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

Will CUCM reboot on its own after installing ciscocm.refresh_upgrade_v1.1.cop.sgn

I'm upgrading a server to 8.6 and i've installed ciscocm.refresh_upgrade_v1.1.cop.sgn.
These were the last couple lines from the console:

02/23/2012 23:08:48 Waiting for CLI/GUI to show cop install success before terminating all CLI/GUI sessions
02/23/2012 23:08:48
SUCCESS: Successful install of refresh_upgrade_v1.1. All GUI and CLI sessions will terminate shortly. Tomcat will be restarted, which can take several minutes.

A system reboot is required when the upgrade process completes or is canceled. This will ensure services affected by the upgrade process are functioning properly.

Will the server reboot on its own, or do I need to manually initiate a restart myself?

Hi Michael,
Aaron is most correct here (No doubt +5)
The final reference you are seeing via the cli output;
A system reboot is required when the upgrade process completes or is canceled. This will ensure services affected by the upgrade process are functioning properly.
is in relation to the actual 8.6 upgrade process, not the refresh.cop
The details are in this great doc from Ryan;

My iPad mini keeps on rebooting on its own, any idea why?

my iPad mini started rebooting on its own about a few days ago.
it keeps on doing this after I use it for a little bit.
sometimes it is a few minutes, other times it may be after a while.
sometimes it happens when I just open the cover .

Checked and I bought it last October, so it is under warranty.
Chatted with Apple support and they asked me to restore to factory defaults.
Spent 40 minutes restore it to factory defaults and it still does it.
They made me an appointment for store tomorrow and if they can confirm it, they will most likely replace the unit.
I am glad it is under warranty, but it was very close to one year.
Hopefully this does not happen again in another year.
It seems to happen a lot when i use the cover.
So....is this a reoccuring problem with the magnetic cover switch???

MacBook doesn't reboot on its own, but will from Startup Manager

I have an early 2009 13" MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. About a week ago I attempted to use Boot Camp to install a Windows partition, and for reasons that don't matter to my current problem, I gave up on that and used the Book Camp Assistant to remove the Windows partition and return to a single Mac OS partition.
Since then, if I reboot the machine and just let it reboot on its own, it will stop at a black screen that says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I have to power off the machine to reboot from this point.
However, if I reboot the machine and hold the Option key to get the Startup Manager, my hard drive will be shown which I can then select and it will boot Mac OS like normal. After that it will run like a champ.
Any idea how to fix this short of a fresh install?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Glad to help.

Ultra not booting, reboots on its own, display - possible solution for all.

I had a problem for a few days where my Ultra 24 would stop (the screen would freeze for a sec), the fan would make a lot of noise and the PC would reboot on its owns. Sometimes it would be on a loop or not start up at all.
I perused through these boards and saw other people with similar issues and solutions. (Mine was to take out MB battery and reset bios).
This fixed the problem but it eventually came back at least once a week.
Anyways after calling Sun and spending a lot of time on the phone I determined that this is related to the graphic card. You'll notice that the nvidia driver these workstations come with are really outdated drivers (mine was the quadro nvs 290).
After I updated the driver (05/08) the problem has gone away and graphics perform MUCH better.
I am running running Solaris 10 and XP.
Hope this helps some of you out.

We have a T-Mobile corporate account with several of these 8120's. We have had them since mid-July and now 3 out of 10 of them are having the reboot issue as well. We, however, do not have or use any memory cards in them, so I don't think that is the problem either. We've reinstalled the software (they had the same version as the newest already installed) as tech support has suggested, and still the problem happens. It happens sometimes when the phone is idle, but most of the time they reboot during a conversation. This is quite annoying as they are business phones and it takes 3-5 minutes for the phone to complete the reboot process. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
