I get "You need to restart your" error message when I boot using "C" ...

Using a OSX DVD, I am getting this error anytime I try booting using OSX DVD otherwise everything is working, though I badly want to re-install new mac box set please help!

Well no it's not that complex. If your machine came with 10.6.5 and you got an OS X upgrade disk that is 10.6.4 or earlier then it won't boot. However if your machine came with 10.4 or 10.5 for example you should be able to boot from the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD. How you boot is:
Insert the SL disc in the SuperDrive and then while holding down the Option button (and continuing to hold down the Option button) reboot. Then your machine should give you the option of booting from the internal HD or the SL disc. Choose the SL disc and after a few minutes it will restart and go into the install routine.

  • When Waking From Sleep: 'You Need to Restart your Computer' Message Appears

    About once a month, when my computer goes to sleep and I wake it up again I get the dreaded 'You need to restart your computer message'. Like I said, it only happens about once a month and not every time I wake it up.
    I did upgrade my memory to 8GB a few months ago but I don't suspect that this is the cause since I only get this message once in a while.
    When I checked my Crash log I found the following info:

    Can anyone interpret this crash log and help me find out what's going on?

    What would help more is the panic.log entry. See, Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic.
    Superficially, I'd say uninstall your Shockwave and/or Flash plug-ins.

  • "you need to restart your system" message

    Hi
    I need some serious help here....It all started a while after installing 10.4.8. At first the system would just crash randomly, i.e. I'd get the spinning ball but I couldn't trace it back to any specific task, it was either when reading from my external drive, or listening to music or reading my mail.
    First thing I did was to take out the 256 MB memory module I had together with my 1GB one, because I know that could cause some problems. But it did nothing. After a verify disk, I got an "Invalid sibling link" thing which I read was quite serious, so what I did was backed up everything and re-installed the whole system deleting the hard disk.
    Soon after install (10.4.8 again) I had a huge problem with my external drive: it would hang for no apparent problem when I was trying to copy files from it back to the hard disk...Especially big chunks of files, like the Itunes music library. The thing is that sometimes if I tried again say three times in the end it would copy the files, so there was nothing corrupted with a single file. From a Verify disk thing my Lacie external drive was fine. I read a post about problems with the power adaptor so what I did was plug it into another socket and after that it seemed to be working ok. Now that I copied everything back, I get the "you need o restart your system" message, again for no apparent reason. I was trying to back up my Itunes library to DVD (seeing that Lacie drives are not that reliable after all), and when I got back to the MAC, the screen saver was on, when I moved the mouse, the screen went grey and the message came up. The DVD was fine, it was just waiting for another one. Same thing the second time. Another time I was just doing ordinary things...so I really can't understand what the problem is.
    I ran hardware test: fine
    Verify disk: fine
    Repair disk permissions: ok
    I disconnected all external peripherals: I got the "you need to restart" message after burning to Itunes anyway
    I really don't know what to do to understand where the problem lies... ANYONE COULD HELP PLEASE?
    I'm desperate.
    Thanks

After i do the restart, a message appears says something like: Mac OS X failed unexpectedly. The problem is that the OS has not failed unexpectedly; i tell it to shut down but it doesn't. Would anybody have a clue as to what is causing this problem?

  • "You Need To Restart Your Computer" Message every time I try to boot up

    I recently installed Mac OS X 10.4 onto my Mac Mini after a licence became available in my home. All was working fine and I updated to 10.4.11 updated safari, flash all that kinda stuff I was missing with 10.3. There was a mega (20.4GB) log file called ARDAgent.crash.log that was clogging up my 80GB Hard Drive leaving it with very little free. This file was there in 10.3.9 but I didn't delete it there and then. After installing 10.4 (I thought maybe it would sort it out - it didn't) it was still there so I tried deleting it. "In use". So I restarted with it moved and as another help topic said I deleted it using terminal. Computer seemed to be running normally and after updating Sockwave Player and a few other things I decided it was time for a restart.
    I restarted and 75% the way thru the blue OS X launch sequence I got the "You Must Restart Your Computer" message. Oh Dear thought me. Ah well, do as I'm told. Next time I didn't get as far. It got to just before it loaded OS X bar and then did the same. So, try launch from the 10.4 DVD - worth a try. Did so and for some bizar reason gave me a blue screen. Ok. So what next? I tried the 10.3 restore CDs that came with the Mini and it looked great. It got to the stage of clicking continue to do tests / install OS X and it crashed giving me the restart the computer.
    I've reset the PRAM and PMU.
    It now crashes with the Grey Screen and Apple logo with the loading sign at the bottom after about 15 seconds after bootup.
    I've got a backup but for some crazy reason it's not bootable :'(. I've got other backups but they're of 10.5 and 10.6 so I doubt the mini will even boot into them so I can have a look at the HD to diagnose any further.
    Any help would be really appreciated as taking it into a Mac Store is near impossible.

    Yes, you are getting kernel panics. A leading cause is memory, however, there are other causes. If you haven't read this, it may help: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

  • "you need to restart your computer" message comes up during shut down

    I seem to have this problem of when I shut my computer down, A box pops up that says i have to restart my computer. This doesn't happen all the time, mostly when i shut my computer down a few minutes after i start it up, like if i just need to print something out really fast. If anyone knows a way to fix this, please post. Thanks.

  • My macbook shows 'you need to restart your computer' message?

    Hi,
    Recently my macbook has been occasionally freezing and then coming up with a message in a few different languages saying that I have to restart my computer. I've heard that this is called a kernel panic. It only happens after I reopen my macbook after it's been sleeping. I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix it, it happens about once or twice each day. Any help?
    Thanks. I'm pretty new to macs so any help would be much appreciated

    Eileen123, welcome to the Forums: this is indeed a kernel panic. The fact that you are able to reproduce it may help track it down and I would suggest you look at Dr Smoke's FAQs on the KP: he puts it all much better. I would suggest, however, that restarting after a KP may just be making things worse and some maintenance would be advisable. If you have the (grey) startup disks, insert Disk 1 and after selecting the language, use the Utilities menu and find Disk Utility. Using that, try and repair the disk, noting any messages that appear (in red).
    Have you installed any new software lately or added memory (these are a place to start). Also add some more details to your information as to which MacBook (processor speed) and how much memory.

    The panic is related to your Cisco software, apparently as com.cisco.nke.ipsec was identified in the dependencies.

  • You Need to Restart Your Computer Message on 2005 iBook

    There are numerous articles already on this and other threads but they don't appear to resolve the problem I have.
    Why bother I hear you ask? Well it is for a poor kid I am trying to help who can't afford anything better!
    I have reinstalled OSX 10.4 with updates - there are no files, third party software or hardware or peripheral devices.
    The iBook only has the in-built 512 mb RAM and the HD would appear to cope with web browsing with Safari and has been through at least 5 restarts without reoccurring until now.
    I was able to copy the Kernal Panic message.

    I do not think it is the logicboard as the iBook is stable via ethernet cable and offline until I switch to Airport.
    Here is the Panic Log taken moments ago which occurred the moment I switched on the Airport card.

    The computer is running via ethernet as I enter this data so would be interested to learn what is causing the issue.
    Certainly agree it is not economic to repair. I am trying to ensure that I have exhaused all options to fix this problem before throwing it out.
    Many thanks

  • Can't get past a grey "you need to restart your computer screen"

    Hello,
    I have a few month old iMac 27" i7 quad core for music use and did an update this morning which consisted of an itunes update and update to the screen firmware and two other things I can't remember. Do the usual install and restart business and am now met with the following error:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x558271): "Unable to find device driver for this platform: \"ACPI". \n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.3.12......................
    Debugger called: <panic>
    Backtrace (CPU 0) , Frame: Return Address (4 potential args on stack)
    7 lines of numbers and letters (please let me know if you need these)
    BSD process name correspoding to current thread: Unknown
    Mac OS Version:
    Not yet set
    Kernal Version:
    Darwin Kernel Version 10.3.0...............
    System uptime in nanoseconds: 322691563
    This is on the grey screen with the multi lingual "you need to restart your computer message"
    Holding shift on startup bypasses the screen and allows me to eject the disk and boot in safe mode or whatever it's called but the bar down the bottom fills up and I'm just left with the rotating bars and the apple logo.
    I have tried a few different suggestions I have found on other threads about holding a certain key to start in safe mode or something to that effect but nothing has worked.
    I have inserted the OSX install dvd that came with the computer and restarted but that did nothing and now I cannot eject it.
    I have backed up a lot of the stuff on there but it will be a huuuuuge inconvenience if I lose the data on this thing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Stephen

    This is called a "kernel panic" (the multi-lingual restart screen). Solving them can be tricky. From the sounds of it, you can probably rule out hardware, but you probably have pretty severe system damage, probably caused by bad hard drive damage. But without more information, it's hard to say. Try looking over [the X Lab FAQ on resolving kernel panics|http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html].

  • Error message - "You need to restart your computer". With Kernel Panic Logs. Please help identify the problem.

    Hi, just now my computer just popped out an error message saying that "You need to restart your computer". I was able to power the iMac back (and i'm typing from my iMac). I did some research about it and it has something to do with the kernel panic..either hardware or software. Since i was able to power back my iMac, i supposed it was software-related problem? Here's the log from /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/
    I'm sorry it was quite long and i have no idea how to attach the text file which i have saved. What could be the problem here? And any suggestions to avoid this from happening again? My heart skipped a beat just now.. Hopefully it was no something serious such as hardware problems..
    thank you!

    Suggest you uninstall SoundFlower, LogMeIn and AirParrot and see if that changes anything.

  • Why does the "You need to restart your computer" error appear when I open Vuze?

    Hi there,
    I apologise that this has probably been asked many times however none of the relevant threads I have come across solved my issue.
    I have the most current version of Vuze and a Macbook Pro (Version 10.6.8 OS X).
    After using Vuze for a year with zero issues, today I have had to restart my MBP several times due to this error message which is displayed in 5 different languages: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."
    This error only occurs when Vuze is open.
    No idea why this is the case. Could it perhaps be a file I am downloading?
    Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Don't unplug the M-box while your MBP is on.

    i did some thing wrong that makes my mac just showing a black screen and amessage says you need to restart your mac .... etc and i wanted to talk to any one from apple and i couldnt get my mac serial number and i could do nothing i turned to some one who formatted the hard desk and i tried to talk to any one from apple but it seems no one care i spent 4 years to be able to buy this mac and i dont know what to do > i will never buy mac again please some one tell me what to do dvd is not working i press on options and nothing happen what showld i do ? through it ? some body tell me what to do or where to go

    Just to make certain, you inserted the original installation disk and started the MBP holding down the C key?  Did the Optical drive reject the disk or did it just spin?  If the former, the lens in the drive may be dirty and needs to be cleaned.  If the latter, you will have to take it to an Apple repair facility.
    Ciao.

    Check with the manufacturer for updated drivers for your tablet.
