Kernal panic while updating apple software on my 10,3,9

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what my imac's problem is.
After some time of having my mac off line and unplugged (about a year & 1/2)
I got it back on line and running.
As I was on line the other day everything on the Safari window vanished but the bug image
on the toolbar.
I had to restart with the power button because the mac froze, the mac started up,
but the screen remained black (with some sign of luminosity in an area not black as if off
I shut down again (w/ button) unplugged the mac waited 5 mins,
restarted and all proceeded as if normal.
I inserted Panthers Disc 1, did a restart holding the c key at chime using & did a repair disk in DU
I got a Disk was okay ..
I ran software updates via the Updater these are the ones I did.
2008-10-26 18:15:40 -0500: Installed "Daylight Saving Time Update" (1.0)
2008-10-26 19:37:33 -0400: Installed "Security Update 2004-10-27" (1.0)

2008-10-26 20:16:28 -0400: Installed "Java Security Update" (4.0)
all was fine till I star ted to do the addtional Jave updates (not seen above) the mac had a kernal panic.
I did a restart using the power button as directed,
My screen panel came up Black again,
Powered off again, unplugged for 5 or so mins.
Plugged in, restart & the mac ran as expected again.
I did repair permissions.
NO new ram installed.
No periherals plugged in when updating.
Anybody have any ideas for me ?

Hi,
Yikes!
You said :::
After some time of having my mac off line and unplugged (about a year & 1/2)
I got it back on line and running.
There could be a problem with you logic board or the LCD, but hmm
I wonder if perhaps resetting the PMU may help, I think it maybe worth a try.
Have the person helping you do that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1712
from the article above...
The PMU is a microcontroller chip that is present on the logic board in an iMac (Flat Panel). As the name implies, it's responsible for controlling all power functions for the computer such as power on/power off and some aspects of sleep/wake behaviors.
* In rare occasions the settings in the Power Manager may become unusable, which can result in operational anomalies with the computer. For example, your computer might not turn on, not wake from sleep, or do (or not do) other things.
Resetting the PMU is not intended to resolve issues in which your computer stops responding or applications unexpectedly quit. In general, you shouldn't have to reset the PMU except as a last resort in cases where a power management system hardware error is suspected. Performing a PMU reset returns the iMac hardware, including NVRAM, to default settings and forces the computer to shut down.
Before resetting, try this first...
If you're experiencing issues with your iMac, for most situations, a restart is sufficient. If your computer has stopped responding, try these steps—in order—until the computer responds:
Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape)
Restart (Control-Command-Power)
Force Shut Down (Press the power button for 10 seconds)
Reset PRAM
You should only reset your computer's PMU if none of the steps above resolved your issue. If this is the case, see the instructions below to reset the PMU in your iMac (Flat Panel).
Important: Resetting the Power Manager on any iMac (Flat Panel) will permanently remove a RAM disk (if you are using Mac OS 9), if present, and all of its contents.
Resetting an iMac (Flat Panel) PMU
To perform a reset you will need a Phillips "0" screwdriver. The instructions in this article cover these iMac models:
Best of luck & please keep us posted!

    My Apple TV froze up while updating the software. What should I do?

    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

  • Kernal Panic after update to 10.4.6/Missing HD Space/Won't Startup from DVD

    Sorry to lump three problems together, but they may all be related.
    First - I was getting random Kernal Panics while at 10.4.5, so I attempted to update to 10.4.6. The computer wouldn't even come close to starting up. I got a screen full of Kernal Panic info. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.3, and that's where the system stands now. It's running fine.
    Second - My computer suddenly announced that the startup drive was out of disk space. I looked and the window said 30g. I closed the window and opened it again only to see it at zero k. I dumped some items to get some disk space, but now I can't get my 30g back.
    Third - I want to startup from the Tiger disk like I did when I reinstalled, but it won't startup from the DVD. I'd like to run Disk Repair on the main hard drive. It showed some errors when I ran a Test using the Disk Utility.
    I'm hoping this is all related. The computer seems to be running fine, but I can't update or find my missing space. Any advice I can get on these issues would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Jon

    Is your computer saving a panic.log after each of the kernel panics? You can see by opening Console (in /Applications/Utilities) and looking for it. I'm not at my Mac now, so I can't tell you under what section to look for that log.
    When you try to boot from the CD, are you holding down the 'C' key as the computer reboots? You can also try rebooting with the Option key pressed, which will present you with a list of bootable volumes. It will also give you access to the Apple Hardware Test (if this is the DVD that came with the computer). If you can select the Apple Hardware Test, I'd recommend doing the Extended Test, which will test the hardware, including the RAM.
    For the disappearing disk space, you could have some process that is going bezerk and filling up the log files. In any event, to see where you disk space is being used, download and run Omni DiskSweeper.

  • While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error message that Iphone cound not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
    First did a full back up of  iphone using iTunes
    Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
    Disconnected USB cable from iphone
    Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
    Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
    I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
    Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
    Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
    iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
    iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
    Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
    A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
    A full restore from back-up then occured
    I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
    When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
    iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.

  • ITunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8.

    iTunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8. Please help asap

    Hi tac.sharma,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know circumstances that keep you from updating your iPad can be frustrating. In this situation I would make sure your iPad is backed up to the iCloud, just to make sure your information is safe. After you have that backup, I would suggest following the steps in the attached article to help you through this update process with iTunes. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Best regards,

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    Dear Brian:
    Create a Play List in iTunes.
    Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
    With "Export" opened:
    1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
    2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
    3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
    You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
    Open "Subsonic Web Page".
    Left hand column open "Import playlist".
    In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
    The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
    Click "OK".
    The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

  • Kernal Panic after update

    I just updated Safari, and when I shut it down to end the update, my macbook had a kernal panic. What do I do? Is there any way to undo an update??

    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then Repair Permissions & reboot.

  • Can't update Apple software - can you help?

    As of 2 days ago, and for no reason I can think of, my iMac G5 will not update any Apple software (iTunes, Quicktime etc.).
    The Software Update application (from the Apple menu) will not open, and clicking on its icon from System Preferences produces the error: Preferences Error - could not load Software Update. Prior to this, the function worked fine.
    Trying to update the software 'manually' with the standalone installers for these applications does not work either. If I try to execute the .pkg or .mpkg files that I download from the Apple site, the Software Update icon fleetingly opens and closes again in the dock, but nothing further happens.
    Apple Support (via telephone) suggested this might be a network conflict and suggested a fix (related to Ethernet network configuration) but this has not worked.
    Any ideas for me?

    Does anything in Apple doc.#106695 help?
    Also, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
    Cheers! DALE

  • Kernal panic while using iTunes.???? gulp....!

    Ok aloha I was running along smoothly in iTunes after I moved all my music from my iTunes library from my powerbook and in the middle of a song about 5 to 10 mins after this the system crashed to a Kernal panic screen. I cannot start up when I restart or when I insert start up disk. Called Apple and they sent me to the nearest repair shop. Before I go is there any way this isnt hardware, and if not hardware then software problem is my expense!!! Yikes Thank myself I backed up prior. ANY guesses as what this must me?
    ALoha Reid

    Frequently, you can't boot off the installer disk because you tried the 'C' key for startup, when in fact the Option (also known as the Alt key) key works better. Also make sure no additional peripherals are connected when you try this. See if that works first. Here's an article on the Option key startup:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
    Make sure only to use the disk that came with the computer that installs the operating system or a newer retail operating system disk as this article explains:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    If you can, repair the directory as my FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    If you can't, well, you may have a hardware problem. If your machine is under a year old, you might want to purchase AppleCare so that this and future repairs to damage you couldn't have caused will all be covered under both hardware and software causes for another 2 years.

    Your screen is probably broken in that area and the "ink spot" you think you see is LCD liquid on the inside of the panel that's leaked and spread out.

Maybe you are looking for
