IMac reboot when 120gb is connected

Hello!
I write trying to find solution to my problem. I have an ipod classic for 5 months and everything was ok. Put yesteday i connect my ipod to my mac and... as i plugged in, the screen gets darker and a message appears telling that i must reboot my mac.
There is nothing i can do appart from push the power button. I try to reboot the ipod, i connected to a pc, to format... but always the same.
The only thing different is before connecting de ipod i connected my new iphone 8gb.
Any suggestions?

Make sure that the PRAM battery is under 4 years old.
Then zap the PRAM.

IMac reboots when attempting to update OS X 10.8.2

Hello,
I have a mid 2010 iMac 27"
I am running OS X 10.8.2
I have a notification that an update is available and a restart is required. When I click to do this the iMac reboots and then starts to install the update. After a little while the iMac reboots and I get the grey screen and then the message which says my iMac has been restarted because of a problem. I can then log in as normal.
This also occurs when Office 2011 attempts to install a software update.
Anyone got any idea's? I am trying to avoid reinstalling my OS

Try installing 10.8.3 through the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640 After installing it, install the Office update.
If you continue getting kernel panics, the next start you should see a window telling you that your computer turned off because of a problem, so press "Report" and copy here what you see in the white box

WRT54GS v5.1 auto reboot when wireless device connects

Hi,
I'm using the linksys WRT54GS wireless router v5.1
Current Firmware version v1.50.9, Sep. 14, 2006
The problem that I have is that everytime a new device connects to the Router wirelessly, the router reboots itself.
After the reboot, everything seems to be working fine. This becomes quite annoying when it comes to gaming and another family member turns on their laptop and then I get disconnected by the router because they are connecting.
What I have done upto now is reset the router after doing the FirmWare Version update and the problem still occurs. (The problem was still there even before I had done a FirmWare Update.)
Is there a way to solve this problem? because I have read about a few other problems just like mine on the forums and they don't seem to have been resolved.
Or will I have to go back to PCWORLD to see if I can get a refund / replacement?

I do not see a "keep alive" option. I use the Automatic Configuration - DHCP because I have connected, a CABLE MODEM provided by my cable provider Telewest Blueyonder
The router just reboots when the wireless laptops connect. The wired desktop (this PC) loses connection as it is rebooting and regains connection after the reboot. Then both PC and Laptop work fine.

Extreme router reboots when trying to connect to disk after 7.1.1 update??

I just brought my new AE-n router home not more than 2 hours ago. I connected a USB disk to it and it was discovering it and was able to transfer quickly to it.
However, I updated my firmware to 7.1.1 and whenever I try to manually connect to the disk, my router restarts itself. I've tried resetting the disk and unplugging the router. I have not changed any settings other than the firmware.
Anyone have an idea? Can I try putting the old firmware back on? Thanks.

Ok, I did that. UPDATE:
I downloaded 7.0 and 7.1. I installed both and also tried resetting the router after each firmware install.
The problem occurs when I try to manually connect to the disk using the disk utility. After I'm prompted and enter my login info, the disk light looks like it's being read and immediately after, the light turns amber and the router reboots.
I'm currently using 7.1. I can get the disk to connect fine when I reset everything, configure the router to my specs and then turn the USB disk on. HOWEVER, once I turn off the disk and then turn it back on, I can try to connect to it and the router will reboot again. Obviously I want the option to turn my disk off at night. 7.0 didn't even work at all, barely.
Any ideas??

Brand New iMac freezes when external display connected

I'm having an issue where when I plug my Apple VGA adapter to my brand new iMac, it completely freezes. As soon as I unplug the adapter, it unfreezes. Also, if I plug in the adapter without the vga adapter, it does not freeze until I plug a vga cable into the adapter. Can anyone help me with this one?

Turns out that the solution is patience. After allowing the iMac to sit frozen for some time, it eventually starts working.

System reboots when USB device connected

I have a new motherboard (MS-7104), and sometimes when a USB device is plugged into the USB ports whilst the computer is turned on, the computer will restart. This happens around 50% of the time, and there is no pattern to the device or port that is used.
The USB ports worked fine on my old MSI motherboard, so it would appear to be something related either to the new motherboard or to the drivers.
I have the latest motherboard drivers and Windows updates, so I don't know what else to try, or why this problem is occuring. The USB jumpers are connected correctly onto the motherboard.
Board - MS-7104 (P4M800)
CPU - Celeron D 2.26 GHz
512 MB RAM
Windows XP Home with SP2

Power Supply is the silver box that you plug your AC power main cord to your chassis, and it has many cables coming out to plug to your motherboard to provide power. That's the power supply. It does not have any software interface for you to access to know what it is. You need to physically take a look at the power supply itself, and tell what each voltage rail's current rating is - +12V, +5V, +3.3V, -12V, 5V-stby.

I howard has an iMac, and when she tries to wake the Mac from sleep, she has to reboot it instead.

I Howard have an iMac, and when trie to wake the iMac from a 12hr to 24hr sleep, i have to reboot it instead. I am Running snow lepord. I tried resetting thr PRam but that work as a temporary fix. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this.Thanks

Hi Howard,
Snow Leoprd/10.6, or Lion/10.7?
What all, especially USB things are connected?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

WRT54G (v7) reboots when notebook connects

Hey folks!
I really have a weired issue here...
My WRT54G (Version 7) was running just perfect for a couple of years already... I've bough a new Netbook recently and when this netbook connects to the router it takes about 10 seconds and the WRT54G reboots itself again and again.
You know, I really see a lot of PC problems, but this one just odd
Just like I said it was running perfect for years.
I have two notebooks here:
- My old one (ASUS X-52SA, running Win7 Ultimate)
- and the new netbook: A Lenovo S10-3t, running Win7 Home premium.
When I'm working with the ASUS, everthing's fine. I've sent a "ping 192.268.1.1 -t" from it to the router and the WRT is responding well.
As soon as I connect the Lenovo to the WRT (not matter if I'm doing this via WiFi or LAN-cable!!!) the ping will show about 3 timeouts on the ASUS. The ping is OK then for another 7 seconds before it goes dead again. This goes on and on...
On the Router itself I can see that it's really rebooting then.
- When the ping times out, the router really is rebooting (all LEDs are off, shorty after it all of 'em will flash for a short time).
- And it's rebooting and rebooting and rebooting...
I really haven't seen this before in my whole career...
I though I would just update the Firmware and everything's will be fine - until I found out that the v7 cannot be upgraded somehow...
Does anyone of you guys have an idea what the reboot could cause?
(I'm sorry for my grammar - English is not my native language )
Best regards,
Michel

Check if you have static ip assigned on Lenovo computer.
If yes, then set it on “Obtain an IP automatically” to do so follow this link .
If it is already on “Obtain an IP automatically” then try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware of the router.
To do that first download the firmware from here and then follow the below mentioned steps
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now login to the setup page of the router and check the firmware version of the router it should be updated.

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Wrt54g reboots when only vaio laptop connects

Running the wrt54g with no broadcast ID, MAC filtering, and WPA.It works great for all laptops I have except a sony vaio which does eventually work but only after it causes the router to reboot. This is mainly annoying since when others are connected the reboot can affect them. Once the router reboots [first time], the sony can be reconnected (as long as the router is powered up, it seems to remember something) and the router will not reboot a second or third time. I have done what I can with sony but alas, no joy. Other than this one laptop problem, I experience no others. Also upgraded to firmware 8.2, same problem. any suggestions? newbie22

I have bought a WD My Book World Edition to use for back-up of my iMac, but when I try and log onto the drive with Apple time Machine (back-up software) or connect in any other way I get the message 'There was a problem connecting to the server "MybookWorld.local" The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
[1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
[2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
[3] Switch to advanced mode.
[4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
[5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
[6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
[7] Make a note of the IP address
Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
[8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
[9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
Code:
ssh [email protected]
[10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
[11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
Code:
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
[12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
Code:
sh install_netatalk.sh
[13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
[14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.
