Having Problems with Kernel Panics and an External Hard Drive

I've been having Kernel Panics for a month now and have yet to resolve the issue. I know about Dr. Smokes guide to resolving them, but I'm working on a time-sensitive editing project in Final Cut Pro and therefore have not had time to fix my computer.
I am using an OWC external hard drive for the project, and today when I had a kernel panic and I rebooted my computer as I normally do. But, this time, my external hard drive icon was not on my desktop, and a message popped up that said, "The disc you inserted was not readable by this computer." Is there anyway to remedy this so that my computer reads my hard drive?

Have you tried using Disk Utility to repair your ext. hard drive as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption?
Cheers!

Problem with Time Capsule and an External Hard Drive.

I want to Back Up a new WD External Hard drive with Time Machine to My Time Capsule. It is formatted to FAT32, as I read here that it should be. It is excluded in the Time Machine Settings Settings and I try to delete it with the Minus Sign, but for some reason it won´t let me. I tried to add and delete a few folders from my Mac Book, and it works every time. It just won`t work with my External Hard Drive and it is not being backed up. What should I do?

I agree with Kenichi, MS-DOS FAT-32 is great for sharing files between windows and Mac, but even it has a single file size limit of 4GB.
See > http://www.macworld.com/article/51972/2006/07/ww_drives.html
For the External HD to work as a Time Machine backup the drive needs to be Partitioned and Formatted as he suggests, GUID Partition Table/Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)
For some great help Partitioning and Reformatting an External Hd, check out the following article by Ken Stone:

Backing up Mac HD with Time Capsule AND an external hard drive

I am sure that this question has been asked one way or another but I can't seem to find the exact answer.
I would like to back up my Mac HD with the Time Capsule AND another hard drive essentially to create two backups. Should one fail, I still have another copy as a precaution. The Time Capsule will be my primary back up because my external hard drive is usually switched off and will only be turned on from time to time to perform "less frequent" backups.
With Time Capsule AND the external hard drive on, will Time Machine just update the backup on the external hard drive without becoming confused with the other copy on Time Capsule? In other words, can Time Machine distinguish between two different Time Machine Backup files and bring them up to date accordingly?
I understand there is an archive function on the Time Capsule, which would also serve the purpose. However, I am wondering if there is another way.
Thanks.

I don't think it's possible to configure Time Machine to back up to two locations without modifying its settings frequently.
You might consider using that external drive to hold a bootable backup. You can create such a thing with either of the utilities SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you pay the registration fee for SuperDuper! (~US$28), there's a mode where it will back up only what has changed, which makes the backup operation run quicker. (Carbon Copy Cloner may offer a similar feature.)

Kernel panic and possible bad hard drive? HELP!!!

I've been running my G4 iMac without any trouble for just shy of 4 years now. On Monday night I clicked on a menu on the Netflix web page and the computer crashed. I later figured out this was a full on kernel panic.
I happened to have Tuesday off so I spent my time backing up as much of my files as I could. While backing up the computer would occasionally have another kernel panic and freeze. Sometimes the screen would look like this (http://www.tallgrassrestoration.com/kernelpanic2.jpg), sometimes it would look like this (http://www.tallgrassrestoration.com/kernelpanic1.jpg). Eventually it just stopped starting up, as of now it just gives me a folding icon with a flashing question mark on it. I got all the files I really need burned onto DVDs, but there are still many files I would rather not lose.
I can boot it up from the OS 10.3 install disk, but the installer software does not recognize the hard drive, i.e. it does not list it as a location to install the operating system. The Disk tools does recognize the hard disk but comes up with a nasty error when I try to 'repair' the volume and will not proceed. The erase option looks like it would work, but I'd rather not go there... yet.
So I believe I have a hard disk issue. Because I don't hear any associated noises I am hoping its not hardware related, but rather a corruption in the sector where the system software is store.
Does anyone have any advice how I can proceed? Is there any way I can just use my wife's iBook and treat the iMac like an external hard drive and remove the last of my files that way? Any way I can repair this problem without wiping out or replacing the hard drive?
thanks,

A couple of years ago I accidentally bought and installed two incompatible modules. I would get Kernel Panics 3 or 4 times a day. When I removed the factory module these KP dropped to a once every day or so. I would suggest you monitor closely for a while longer until we can be sure that both modules are good.
It's possible it was the RAM seating but I'd be more suspicious than that; you could always try re-installing it.
Most RAM comes with a lifetime warranty so even if it was some time ago it's worth contacting the reseller.
I use a magnetic screwdriver with torx bits too, but did keep it away from all the chips and boards.
Let us know how you get on.
cheers

Kernel panic when using external hard drive for library

I have been using an external hard drive to manage my iTunes library for over a year. As of today, I have had three kernel panics when trying to use iTunes. I was downloading a purchase from the music store and the first panic occurred. Subsequent panics occurred immediately on startup of iTunes. Using the guest account (with default internal drive library settings), everything works fine. Both drives have been verified by Disk Utility and all software is up-to-date. No clue how to proceed.

Yes, but you need to have the external drive on and mounted when starting iTunes. You can add the external HD to your log in items list in System Preferences -> Accounts to handle this.

Problems with moving iTunes to an external hard drive

My laptop is on it's last leg, and I am backing everything up onto an external hard drive. When I sync my itunes to my phone, I want it to sync from my external drive instead of my pc. I followed the instructions given here.... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 Including move the original iTunes folder into the recycle bin and changing the location to my external drive. When I open iTunes, there is nothing in my library...no music, apps, playlists, nothing. I go to the advanced tab and check the location and, the location STILL shows that it is in my C drive, which is my laptop, and not the H drive that I changed it to. I have tried unsuccessfully many time to change it to the H drive. Also, it doesn't matter how many times I throw the itunes folder into the recycle bin, it keeps reapearing in my documents/music folder, but instead of the 15 gb, it only shows 56 kb.
I appreciate any help I can get on this!!!

What you needed to do was copy the entire iTunes folder from the C: drive to the external, then hold down shift as you start iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. At that point you browse to the libray on the external open it, and it just works.
At this point it sounds like your media is one the external drive but you may have thrown away the files that tell iTunes what is in your library, playlists, ratings, etc. If iTunes is looking for a library in the "standard" location, and it isn't there, it will create a new blank one for your. If the last library it connected to is anywhere else it stops with an error.
The 64k question is, can you still find a copy of the original iTunes Library.itl file that used to be on your C:\ drive. If you've not emptied the trash the largest recent file will be the one you want. If those have gone files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder may possibly be useful for recovering your playlists and other info...

Having problems with Kernel Panic screen on iMac 17" 1.83

I have this iMac that was running fine the we had a power surge and the computer started crashing with the Grey Screen with the darker block in the center that said I need to restart the computer. Finally it would not even come up with out crashing. I removed the hard drive to use on my Mac Pro to retrieve the files and it took forever but I finally go them. Then no matter what I could not reformat the hard-drive even though SMART said it was okay. So I replaced the hard drive, installed Snow Leopard and all the updates. Everything ran fine for a day then started then it started crashing again. i finally erased the harddrive from my mac pro by firewire and the iMac was in transfer mode. But now I can not get Leopard to install from the DVD. It shows the errors below:

I don't know that system profiler really tests RAM. I don't know about your model but some Macs come with an Apple Hardware Test disc for that kind of thing. There's also RAM testing utilities such as Memtest and Ramber. From reading I get the impression testing for bad RAM can be finicky and requires long runs. Sometimes it is easiest by removing chips and seeing how things run in different configurations.

Good job on getting it all working again.

My final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months. I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer. it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help

my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months. I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer. it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me. I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5

What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
See if working on the main disk is any faster.
USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go. And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too. FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

HELP! Problem with KERNEL PANICS!

Hi everyone!
I have a serious problem with kernel panics - it doesn't seem to be connected with a certain type of program, but seems to be completely random. I have reinstalled my OS X and updated it, but the kernel panics just keep on coming and if possible it actually seemed to make matters worse! Now it doesn't always show the bar at the top of the screen when I turn it on, and sometimes programs like iTunes and Safari, just won't work until I restart the mac. I've also done a harware test - no faults detected. I had an idea that it might be AutoCad causing it, as it started sometime after I installed it - it was also the first program I reinstalled after OS X reinstallation - but I haven't used the AutoCad a whole lot and the panics happen way more often.
I am completely at a loss now as I'm not exactly a computer expert. If anyone can deduce something from my most recent panic log which could help me find out what's causing all this, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi everyone!
I have a serious problem with kernel panics - it doesn't seem to be connected with a certain type of program, but seems to be completely random. I have reinstalled my OS X and updated it, but the kernel panics just keep on coming and if possible it actually seemed to make matters worse! Now it doesn't always show the bar at the top of the screen when I turn it on, and sometimes programs like iTunes and Safari, just won't work until I restart the mac. I've also done a harware test - no faults detected. I had an idea that it might be AutoCad causing it, as it started sometime after I installed it - it was also the first program I reinstalled after OS X reinstallation - but I haven't used the AutoCad a whole lot and the panics happen way more often.
I am completely at a loss now as I'm not exactly a computer expert. If anyone can deduce something from my most recent panic log which could help me find out what's causing all this, I would greatly appreciate it!

I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says - 'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error.

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609. Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2. My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

Hi,
I have the check box on a second Partition but not on the Time Machine one
I forget what I did now to get this called "Recovery HD"
For the rest try https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4055 User Tip that links to Pondini's work on Time Machine.

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting. Anyone having problems?

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket. When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash. Anyone having problems? Help.

Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

Since upgrade to ios6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and connecting to App Store and iTunes store

Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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.
