Ibook crashed when  watching yahoo video

Hi anyone out there,
I have an ibook G4 made in the end of 2005. Running Tiger 1.4.11. Recently I was watching a news clip on Yahoo and it crashed Safari and then froze the cursor. When I went to repower I got a spinning wheel and the computer wouldn't reboot. . I then opened the drive with Allsoft Disc warrior and rebuilt the drive. It has been working fine for 4 days now and suddenly it did the same thing again today. This time when it crashed Safari I was given a box with error message that said to restart the computer. I did so and then the wheel just spun and I figured I will have to Disc warrior again. All I did was put the disc in while it was on the grey page w/ apple logo and it booted up Does anyone have a clue as to what's happening??

Does this iBook have the original hard drive in it? If so, it is getting to be 4-5 years old. The average useful life of a hard drive is 3-5 years, so if it's the original, it's likely getting pretty long in the tooth.
First thing to do--back up your data and keep it backed up.
Next, go to Disk Utility and see what the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drive is. For a detailed look, download S.M.A.R.T. Utility. You can download the demo and run it several times for free.

My guess is that your hard drive is going south and will need to be replaced.
Good luck!

  • Mac Mini crashes when watching a video online

    I have a Mac Mini Model (2,1) with Mac OS X (10.6.2).
    Environment:
    I use my mac mini as an HTPC. I use a DVI to HDMI converter to connect to a 1080p projector. I use WIRED connection to connect to internet. The sound output is connected to my receiver.
    Problem Description:
    Recently, I have been experiencing system freeze and unexpected reboots while watching videos online. So I decided to do a fresh install of Snow Leopard. For about 5 days, the system worked fine and I was able to watch videos through YouTube, NBC, FOX etc.. The system started crashing again and the following is what i see in the CONSOLE.log file
    * launchd[1] has started up *
    (com.apple.Kerberos.renew.plist[100]) Exited with ext code: 1
    Can someone help...
    Thanks
    Kris

    Our 1 year old mini also crashed trying to watch a tv show from the internet - after about 5 minutes of the show it started automatically rebooting over and over again (10 + times). Now I can't get it to start up at all. We use this with our HDTV as an entertainment machine

  • Can someone advise me why safari keeps crashing when watching youtube videos?

    Safari report after the crash states that something may be wrong with my flashplayer plug-in 10.4 and 10.5.
    First of all I cant update to that version because I have the imac 10.5.8 ios and can only upgrade to 10.3 version so why is it giving me that message???
    I have yet to find an explanation nor a solution for this so if anyone thinks they have an answer I will be more than grateful to hear it.

    You have a Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, and the log is showing a problem with the NVIDIA GPU. "GPU Panic" means a GPU issue.
    Mid 2010 15-inch MacBooks Pro have got a defective NVIDIA GPU that may cause unexpected restarts, black screens, kernel panics... Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Apple is repairing all of these MacBooks Pro for free if they were purchased less than 3 years ago, so make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. I recommend you to print the log

  • Flash Player crashes when watching online video on Win 7

    Hi.
    I have just built a new machine and it's got a pretty good spec but I've been having this problem since I installed windows 7.
    I have tried 64-bit first and then 32-bit version but still had the same problem.
    I can be watchingonline content such as a programme on BBC iplayer or 4OD ( or any other site you'd care to mention) and at some point the whole screen freezes and i'm left with no choice but to press the reset button.
    I'm fairly confident that i've narrowed this problem down to flash player (but not 100% sure).
    This will occur several time per day & is driving me nuts. Everything else about the machine works great but online videos are a nightmare.
    Any suggestions anyone?
    Your help will be much appreciated.
    P.S.
    Yes I do have the latest version flash player.

    Hi.
    No, nothing works.
    Just went in to event viewer and it's saying something about an atikmdag error.
    Been googling and this seems to be linked to ati video cards.
    also stuff about Kernel 41 error but from what i can figure out.. this is a very generalised error.
    Maybe it's not flash? But why does it only happen during streaming?
    Getting wound up with this.
    Want to buy a new videocard to see if that would work but i can't afford to waste the money if its not the problem.
    Why didn't i just buy a basic Dell?

  • My iBook crashes when previewed or after exporting it and sync

    Hello,
    I designed a photography iBook, and added 2 gallery widgets of 20 pics each. My iBook crashes when previewed on my iPad 3 or after exporting it and syncing it to the iPad. It happens after viewing the book and interacting with it.
    I have seen that the gallery widgets behave a bit sloppily when you swipe to the next pic, also the second row of thumbails (pics 11 to 20) don't show properly, some thumbails just don't appear.
    What can I do? delete the widgets and start again? Is the iBook crashing because of them?  Any user having this problem in the past months?
    Thank you!

    I did it, removed both, started from 0 again. Same problem, thumbails dont show for items 11 to 20. The widget in general works a bit sloppily always, no matter amount of items.
    i tried to make images smaller in resolution, same problem.
    only solution: never have more than 10 items per gallery, and split 20 photos in 2 different galleries in 2 pages.

  • IBook crashing when moved, scr saver etc

    For some reason, our iBook G4/1.33ghz/512Mb/OS X 10.4.4 suddenly started to crash/kernel panic crash, 5-6 times per day, often at following occasions:
    1) when battery saver screen saver (screen dimmed by power mgmt, not screen savers like Flurry) leads to a state where iBook cannot be waked, it's not only the screen that's dimmed - ie it's dead. No resets except hard reset will have any effect.
    2) restarting (only 5 sec powerbutton reset will work) after such crash usually leads to a kernel panic. After restarting after the panic crash, it will often crash again.
    3) kernel panic also happens in most cases when computer is moved, even if it's gently. Presumably after sudden motion sensor kicks in.
    Furthermore:
    - Apple Hardware test shows no errors (both several short and long tests).
    - RAMs are Apple native and does not seem to be defective.
    - PRAM and NVRAM have been resetted several times over.
    - preference files relating to power management have been put in trash.

    Hi Leemakiyama,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Have you tried performing an Archive and Install? You can find more information about the Archive and Install feature in Knowledge Base Document 107120.
    You might have corrupted software or hardware that is failing (or failed). I suggest Logging your Kernel Panic so that if you need to show it to Apple, you can. If you don't know how to log a Kernel Panic, Knowledge Base Document 106228 can help out. I also suggest posting bits of the system log (found in console) or crash log (the specific application can also be found in console) and posting it here. That way we might be able to determine what might be going on. Do you have anything connected to your iBook when this happens? You said your iBook crashes when moved, how so? Does it crash if you move the display? You might want to bring your iBook to your local Apple Store/Reseller.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon

  • When watching a video, often the Press Esc to return line in the middle of the screen does not disappear. What can I do to remove it?

    Often when watching a video, TV show on ABC or Hulu Plus, after going to the full screen, the Press Esc to return line in the middle of the screen does not disappear. What can I do to remove it so it does not detract from the viewing?

  • I cannot watch yahoo videos using your service; switch to internet explorer to watch; do I need to delete your serverice and switch to internet explorer?

    I cannot watch yahoo videos using your service; switch to internet explorer to watch; do I need to delete your serverice and switch to internet explorer? I would like that question answered first.

    Hi kaylenmar, I assume videos play normally for you on YouTube and other sites.
    There have been several long threads about Yahoo! videos and what might make them different from other sites. The upshot is that different people have found different problems and different solutions. For example, extensions that filter or block ads or prevent tracking can cause problems, as can the click-to-play feature.
    One approach that worked for most people who mentioned trying it is to switch to Firefox 24, which is in the final two weeks of its beta testing period. You can expect a few more rough edges with a beta version than with the released version. However, it might be worth it if you don't like switching browsers to watch Yahoo videos.
    I suggest making a backup of your Firefox settings folder before installing Firefox 24. This article has tips on doing that: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]].
    Firefox 24 beta is available here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/

    You should be able to click on the change themes button and go back to your original theme.  If all of the text is currently in the book then make a backup before changing back just to be on the safe side.  To do so just click on the book icon and type Command+d (Duplicate).

  • Sound interruption when watching streaming video

    I have an Apple TV and use it to watch Netflix and Youtube.  After upgrading to ios 8,  I experienced frequent sound interruptions when watching streaming video
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?  I have a third generation Apple TV.

    I was able to fix the sound issue by changing the resolution to "720P -HD" instead of "Auto".  Not ideal but it works.

  • IBooks crashes when TOC items tapped

    I have created several iBooks in iBooks Author and never had an issue with a TOC. The current title that I am working on works fine in iBooks for the Mac, but it crashes when some TOC items are tapped on the iPad. iBooks author, iBooks Mac, and iBooks for the iPad are all running at their current versions as well as the device operating systems. The TOC issues aren't predictable either . . . a TOC items may work at one point and crash at another point. Grrr.
    Any suggestions?

    The issue appears to be an iBooks iPad issue (portrait view). I noticed that iBooks crashes when I tap on any TOC item that is listed 12 or more deep in a TOC subcategory. I completely stripped the document to just one chapter, used Lorem Ipsum dummy text, and removed all widgets and any hyperlinks and the issue remains. It has to be a bug in iBooks.
    For this particular book I need a detailed TOC so this is a major issue. Very frustrating!
