That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model.
The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Satellite 2710XDVD hangs at shut down

My Satellite 2710XDVD hangs at shut down, showing the 'Windows is shutting down' screen. I am running Windows 98 SE, bios 7.60. The problem started after installing a Sitecom WL-011v2 card.
When I remove the card (actually, disable it using the control panel pc card manager) Windows shuts down normally. Sitecom says it is a bios problem.
Does anyone have a solution?

I came to the conclusion that the problem is that the PC card is not shut down properly when Windows wants to shut down.
My solution is to disable the PC card when I want to shut down Windows. I made a script using AutoIt v3 to do this, just click on the script and it will disable the PC card and then shut down Windows properly.

Hang at Shut Down... When exactly are drives safely unmounted?

My Mac often hangs at shut down (like many others). I typically get all icons, dock, and menu bar removed and am left with the desktop picture, or sometimes I'll get to the blue screen (after the desktop picture has gone) and get the circle made of straight lines that just continually loop.
My question is: Have the drives unmounted and therefore aren't potentially damaged due to the power being forcefully cut off (holding the power button), or are they still mounted and therefore possibly damaged requiring (to be safe) another round of DiskWarrior magic?
I'm getting tired of spending all of my time running DiskWarrior. Are these fixes necessary?
any thoughts are welcome and appreciated!

Hi! I'd be concerned because the last command that the OS gives at shutdown is for the drive heads to "park" after which the power to them is turned off. If they are not "parking" the heads properly it could cause problems. I'd investigate unhooking the external attached devices to see if any of them are hanging the shutdown but also if you have several volumes or drives attached to the computer if often takes a seemingly long time for the OS to complete the disk chores at shutdown. Have you waited at least 5 min+ to see if it will shutdown? Also if Diskwarrior shows anything in "RED" then the directories definitely are having problems and should be corrected. Often a directory will suffer damage but continue to mount and function until the corruption finally gets so bad it crashes. Regular use of DW usually keeps them in good shape. Tom

IMac hangs at shut down

Hello, maybe someone know what could be with my iMac 21.5-inch: 3.06GHz Intel Core i3,(OS X 10.6.6) Everything was working fine for about a couple weeks, but now it hangs at shut down. I left for a bit thinking it would eventually shut down, but came back an hour later to find it still spinning on the grey screen,I left during the night, but nothing has changed still spinning on the grey screen. The only way to shut it down was to hold the power button.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I don't know if you have managed to resolve this yet? Have you found posts like this one;
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2784084?start=0&tstart=0
Like the person posting in that thread I have found that doing a disk repair has fixed the problem that was preventing my 2011 imac from shutting down.
To do the disk repair hold down the md and R keys whilst the machine is booting. You should find yourself in the utilities app with an option at the bottom to run the disk utility and from there you can run a repair on your boot disk.

Avi files causing Bridge to shut down -- why?

I just installed the CS5 upgrade (from CS4) on my Windows 7 laptop. I also ran the latest PhotoShop updates which loaded ACR 6.3 among other updates. I needed that one in order to process ORF files from my Olympus E-5.
Now, I can see and edit the ORF files in Bridge with no problem. However, if I attempt to open an images folder that contains an .avi file created with my Olympus E-5, Bridge shuts down with a message "Adobe Bridge CS5 has stopped working". The system looks for a fix to the problem, but naturally doesn't find one.
I'm not attempting to edit these .avi files -- they just happen to be in the same folder as my ORF images. I ended up moving the .avi files to a separate folder, and now I can open the images folder. But I don't want to have to do this every time I take .avi movies with my new camera. I download the ORF images with the .avi files from my camera at the same time.
Any thoughts?

I have exactly the same problem and can't work out why. It seems Bridge crashes with the "Adobe Bridge CS5 has stopped working" message every time it tries to diaply any folder containing a video file.
So if bridge is open and I try to import a mixture of pictures and videos from a memory card, Bridge crashes when it gets to importing the video file.
Likewise, if I just open Bridge and then navigate to a folder which contains a video file, it crashes when it tries to open that folder.
I have to resort to the same work-around as the previous poster and use Windows explorer to move all the video files out of the folder prior to using Bridge to view that folder.
My previous versions of Bridge did not have this problem and worked as intended. Does anybody have a solution?

Windows7 hanging when shutting down applying updates

Whenever I shut down or reboot Windows7 I get a message that Windows is applying update 9 of 13, but the "update" never gets "applied" and Windows7 just hangs supposedly trying to apply it. Yet when I subsequently boot into Windows7
and look a Windows Update there are no important updates available, much less being applied.
Something is messed up. How do I fix this problem so that Windows7 does not attempt to apply a mythical 9 of 13 update, which does not exist, when I shut down, and hang my Windows& shutdown or reboot

Download appropriate system readiness tool and run it
http://support.microsoft.com/kB/947821
If the updates that are failing to install are dot net based then you may need to run dot net repair tool.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=30135
Note this is not recommended but is an option:
If you are having problem with single update for example you may right click (in windows updates screen) on it and chose to hide it.
This way at least you will allow other updates to install properly.

ITunes causing hang on shut down. Help!

iTunes 11 has been causing my Macbook Pro 15.4" running Lion to hang at shutdown. I would open up iTunes and it would not respond so I would have to force quit it. Then I proceed to shut my mac down (I always quit all running applications and uncheck the 'reopen windows'), where it continues to hang with that grey spinning wheel. I've left it for over 10 minutes and it still hangs, so I'd have to do a hard shut down. This doesn't happen all the time, but it's becoming quite often now. Please help!

If you forced quit iTunes before shut down then that is not what is causing you the problem. Reboot to the Lion Recovery Disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

MY IPHONE 5 HANGED AND SHUT DOWN, NOW I CANT START IT.ITS NOT RESPONDING EITHER ON ITUNES OR CHARGING.WHAT I SHOULD DO

MY IPHONE 5 SUDDENLY HANGED FOR A WHILE AND THAN SHUT DOWN. NOW SCREEN IS BLACK AND PHONE ALMOST IS DEAD. ITS NOT RESPONDING ON ITUNES AND NOT EVEN ON CHARGING. KINDLY LET ME KNOW HOW TO START IT. ITS SEEMS TO BE DEAD.
THANKS,
ANSAR

Has it recently been exposed to water or any other liquids, perhaps in the rain or a pub. If so, you will have to consider it likely to be dead. Take it to your nearest Apple store for check out.

Pavilion g6 Notebook Restarts upon Shut Down/Hibernate/Sleep after Windows 8 Upgrade

Hello,
I've been dealing with this issue for several months now, since I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8. My computer will no longer correctly shut down, hibernate or sleep- everytime I do one of those things it restarts. To be more specific, it will shut down when I ask it to, but upon turning it on again, no matter what amount of time passes it will restart rather than start up and once the operating system is up it gives a hopelessly vague 'your PC encountered a problem' message. It has NOT shown me the blue screen. The error message is a banner across the screen asking if I would like to submit details. When I close the machine, my settings tell it to hibernate, and upon opening it, it restarts.
Initially, I had another huge problem with windows 8 refusing to update anything- itself, or any of my programs, it would go all the way through the process only to fail at the very end. Everytime it restarted inappropriately it would attept to update, fail, then 'revert changes'. So I did a Windows 8 'refresh' which solved the updating errors and everything should be currently up to date.
HP Pavilion g6-1c40ca Notebook PC
Product Number: A1V30UA
I have a pretty miniscule understanding of computers, but I had a friend do some research for me and he said he couldn't find any other people experiencing this problem. We tried updating all my drivers. The best we could come up with is that Windows 8 isn't completely compatible with my machine.
I would really appreciate some help on this subject and I am a student and I drag my laptop around with me all day and it gets pretty time consuming to wait for it to restart when I need it between classes.
Thanks!
Ella

Hello Ellabelle,
Your computer will not wake up correctly.
It sounds like you may need to completely reinstall windows 8.
Here is a link to all the driver updates for your system.
At the top of the page there is an option to scan now and let HP scan your system for missing and out of date drivers.
Use this option.
Let me know how everything goes.

While publishing an iMovie project iMovie unexpectedly shuts down, why?

While publishing a project in iMovie, iMovie uexpectedly shuts down. Why?

I've been having this problem with iMovie for a few months now, all of a sudden something has happened to my iMovie. It seems to happen only when I insert Picture In Picture option(s) in a slideshow. When exporting the completed Project to Quicktime it crashes. This also happens if I try to Finalize the Project or Share the Project via Vimeo or YouTube. There are a lot of folks out there experiencing this problem, some are finding solutions - I'm not.

[Athlon64] Computer power cycling randomly upon shut down.

Ok, for some reason my machine has started cycling power for a second in a cycle when I power down sometimes.
If I select Turn Off computer from Windows XP, the computer shuts down.
Then, I see the power light blink....the diagnostic lights of the motherboard, all four blink, the fan clicks and spins for a second.
This happens repeatedly. I tried unplugging the computer, then plugging it back in. As soon as I plug it back in, the process starts. The fan spins up, power light blinks on then off...diagnostic lights (all 4) go on, the network plug goes on. Now, this just happens automatically. I do not have to press the power on switch.
It's started happening with some regularity. I usually leave my computer running for days, so perhaps that's why I haven't experienced this problem more often.
Any ideas on what could be happening?

From what you are saying it doesn't sound like it is running well now.
I would do a reset and see if it will post. Then run Memtest86 at the correct RAM timings top see what you get. Otherwise the only other thing I can assume is the PSU went or maybe one of the componants somewhere in the box which will require more extensive troubleshooting. You are going to have to start somewhere.
Oh if you have overcooked the machine set it back to defaults.

Hang upon shut down! Why?
