I get kernel paic upon boot.  I did that hard drive cleanup and reinstalled Lion.  What about memory?  Anyone think I need to upgrade my memory?  I have 8 G of upgraded RAM. (20 inch iMac core 2 duo)

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.

  • My hard drive died, how can I get my pictures back from iPad onto a new library on the hard drive?

    Hi there,
    I have a Mac Book, and as it's a little older, and was getting full, I moved my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. This external hard drive was always plugged in, and iPhoto used it as it's store so to speak.
    However, the hard drive has died which means I now have no access to any of my photo's.
    As I sync both my iPad and iPhone to iphoto in it entirity, at the minute I have ALL my photos on both my iPad and my iPhone.
    How can I recover the photo's onto my mac or new hard drive from the ipad or iphone? I don't dare plug either in at the minute as I don't want the Sync to remove the photos.
    HELP! Please!
    James

  • I had my hard drive redone and reinstalled itunes losing all of my music. How do i get my 300 plus songs back on my pc for hearing pleasure?

    I am worried that i have lost all songs which i purchased through the store. I cant access the music but in the account history i am able to see that i did buy and download into my library. would like to know how i can get all music and movies back where i can enjoy them again. thanks for your help.

    What country are you in ? In some countries you can re-download past music purchases, but films can currently only be re-downloaded in the US (and not all films). Have you not got a backup of your purchased content on, for example, an external drive ?

  • How do i download video from iphone 4 to a Mac Compatible Seagate GoFlex external hard drive, drag and drop loads an icon without any data?

    I took some video over christmas using my iphone 4 and ever since i have been trying to back up these videos for safe keeping.  When i tried to back up to my computer's c drive only the smallest file would load, the other 2 the icon would appear but no data was present in properties.  so i then tried to drag and drop to my seagate 3tb GoFlex hard drive and i would also get icons but no data.  It seems to me this would be a simple process anyone know the answer? I have windows xp and can seem to move everything else around without any problem just seems to be video as the problem?

  • How can I format my primary HD and reinstall Lion?

    So my iMac has been running very slowly lately, and I've had some tech issues (see the fruitless help thread at http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?p=634569), so I'm tempted to just wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall Lion.
    I have a backup HD, so I should have sufficient hardware to do this.  I just have a couple questions about the mechanics:
    1. How do I format my primary hard drive?  I assume this is straightforward.
    2. Is it possible to reinstall Lion without an install CD?  I downloaded Lion off the App Store, and I'd hate to think that because of that I'm stuck with the installation I have.
    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    Summary
    OS X Lion includes a new feature called Lion Recovery that includes all of the tools you need to reinstall Lion, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical discs.
    And buried in the link is also this:
    the storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install Lion
    Formating a disk is done with Disk Utility.

  • How do I get out of the "no bootable device" screen?

    I am doing a clean install of both operating systems and successfully deleted the windows partition, and reinstalled the Mac partition. When I got boot camp assistant started and it restarts to prepare installing windows, I am faces with the "no bootable device" screen. It says to insert a boot disk. Currently the Mac snow leopard disk is in the drive (in order to access certain disk utility functions, etc) but I can't get the disk out. I've tried force ejecting in every way and it won't eject.
    So I try to boot back into the Mac partition by holding down option/alt, and it doesn't work. It just goes straight to the same no bootable device screen. How do I get out of this? Every suggestion I've seen is to hold down option and boot into Mac and I can't do that. It's almost like the keyboard does NOT respond at all while in the boot up process, can't force eject by holding keys, can't boot into anything by holding keys. Solution?

    an update on this in case anyone else runs into this problem. it turns out the mac os x install disk got rubbed the wrong way or something and was mucking up my entire computer by just being in the drive. i couldn't get it out, so i took  it down to geek squad and they forcibly removed it.
    after that i was able to hold down option and get into the mac partition i created earlier, which i wasn't able to do with that disk in the drive.
    now i can most likely get back to installing windows on my partition, however the drivers are located on that install disk...so i'm going to be looking for ways to get around that.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10 seconds. After you see the logo, you can release the buttons.

    Questions:
    Is the app store looking to my hard drive for traces of aperture to determine whether it has been purchased or is it looking at some kind of purchase history within the app store?
    Is there anyway to wipe my hard drive clean of aperture files or wipe clean my app store purchase history so that i can start over?
    If none of this is possible, does anyone have a possible solution?
    If i were to redownload aperture (currently for free since it won't let me pay) when a subsequent update comes out (say it goes from version 3.2.2 to 3.2.3) can i then elect to buy aperture, pay the fee and will it appear as a purchased app and allow me to get upgrades going forward?  Would any data be compromised with this?
    1. Do you have a backup connected to your Mac that contains the app? If so, yes the MAS can detect that and believes that the app is installed.
    2. If the app no longer appears in the purchase history on the Purchased pane in the MAS, then it would seem that Apple has taken care of that.
    4. Updates, such as you describe are free. Upgrades are not. An upgrade is a new paid version of the app, such as v 3.0 to v 4.0.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.
