Kernel Panic Screen Reboots

Just a couple days ago I I was watching a video on Youtube, when all of a sudden I got a "Kernal Panic" error screen as seen here:
I kind of shrugged the error off as a fluke, since most blogs and forums that talk about MacbookPro Kernel Panics are rarities. That usually don't occur again, and if they do often because of either minor issues, or on the otherhand major issues. So thinking it wouldn't happen again I used my Macbook for a while without a problem. Decided to launch Mozilla and start browsing the web (which seemed to work fine for 15 mins or so), when all of a sudden I got a second Kernel Panic error. This happened while a specific webpage was loading up (not Youtube). So that scared me, heck this is a fairly new MacbookPro. I used it again for a bit, and decided to try an experiement. I browsed for a while, then tried to visit the same webpage that gave me the Kernel Panic just before, & bam it happened again for a 3rd time!
Ok so being a bit of a tech guru I decided to run these tests to make sure all is well with my machine:
- Booted into Safe Mode
- Ran Disk Utility under the Recovery Partition to verify the HDD Structure
- Checked HDD Smart status
- Ran TechToolPro v7 to do a thorough Disk Scan of every sector on the HDD
  as well as a Video Memory test, and Memory Test.
- Booted into the Apple Hardware Test program to check my machine with the
  extended test selected
- Verified and Repaired all Permissions errors
- Scanned my HDD with my antivirus ESET CyberSecurity
Every single one of the aforementioned checks I did came out fine. This all took hours to do... The only thing that is never okay so to speak is the permissions errors. Which have always listed a bunch of iTunes errors that show up, but never repair even when it says they did. But that's been that way for almost a year now. I believe there's another permissions error in there somewhere that's also always been there too though (which never repairs). Anyways the only thing I have noticed odd recently is our internet acting weird during the days this happened. Not just on my MacbookPro but on our iPhones too. We're all connected via WiFi, and have noticed some pages not loading, some videos pausing, server messages, 503 errors too I believe. I tried powering off our router and modem twice. But the Kernel Panics I mentioned earlier had still happened even after doing that.
My next step is to call our ISP to make sure all is well on their end. Seeing as I haven't had a Kernel Panic occur while doing anything else, ONLY while browsing the internet. Which I have read on some blogs can happen do to bad network packets. If I'm correct then that might be what has happened. But why in the **** would a MacbookPro restart due to a Kernel Panic error just because of some bad Internet packets coming in? I would have thought pages wouldn't load, not some oblivion style error that reboots the machine! Think about it the Kernel Panics didn't happen during any of my tests which took hours to complete. The antivirus scan alone took 7 hours, on my 750GB HDD. I'm actually writing this post from the very same MacbookPro right now. The only
things I have changed on my machine in the past two weeks was install a MAudio MBox Mini audio driver, iLoc License Key program, & install Pro Tools Express. All of which work hand in hand to make the external audio box work for recording vocals/music. The drivers and software are unsigned from what I recall... I had to disable the "Install Signed Applications Only" section of the Security panel in Mountain Lion before doing so. As far as I know they're the correct drivers for my Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5. The other thing I installed a night or two before the issues started was the newest version of ESET antivirus which installs over the exsiting one. But they're good, I've done this many times and never had an issue. I think I did a Mozilla Firefox update once in the past two weeks too. But they're known for being really good on releases. I've also used my MacbookPro for two weeks since I first installed the external audio box (which connects via usb), and never had this happen. Btw these Kernel Panics happened while the external audio interface was disconnected. Again not something that happened before in two weeks since it's been disconnected many times. I'm positive my machine is fine something I can't really put my finger on made this happen, and I'm scared it will happen again while doing something important!
1. I don't know what to do... Is there something else I can check?
2. Should I still call my ISP to make sure all is well on their end?
3. & why the **** would a Kernel Panic happen due to simple Network Packets (internet) not being received correctly over wifi that would cause a sudden reboot?
Thank You
P.s.
I saved everyone of the Reports that came up after each of the 3 Kernel Panics happened. As per Apples little info about what the reports contain (bunch of garbled words and #'s), they mention to search it for a couple words that referr to serious hardware problems. I never found those words either while using notepad to scan them through.

The previous 2 Kernel Panics I had happen to have something similar to the above report. Which I will post below, hoping that it may help you diagnose my issue. They'll be in two small excerpts, both of which I'd like you to notice starting with "Panic" under the date. There probably is other information of use to you within the excerpt too.

Thank you all very much for your time, I will look into the other suggested methods of diagnosing my laptop in the meantime. Too bad I don't have Apple Care... Hope this issue can be resolved. I'm currently studying and my pockets can't take another hit right now. Like I said before I kind of kept away from using my laptop ever since I got the 3 Kernel Panics. Other then when I tested everything out as I mentioned in my first post that started this thread. But I have however began using my laptop since yesterday to post this, and browse a bit to see if the Kernel Panic would persist. I haven't had a Kernel Panic so far... One thing I did notice is the reports mention something about "Panic CPU," and "BSD process name: Eset" in all three reports. Not exactly in those words I just wrote (since each report differs). But it does lead me to think either I have a cpu issue, or the recent install of the new version of Eset I put on my machine this week has something to do with it? Again I'm no expert at reading these reports so I can't say for certain. And if it was some sort of bug in the new version of Eset antivirus, maybe the constant auto update feature of the program fixed/patched it. Which could be why I haven't experienced another Kernel Panic. Just throwing out some ideas...

    My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

  • PowerBook G4 12" kernel panic on reboot.

    Hello all.
    I've recently obtained a PowerBook G4 12" (1.33 GHz) and I've installed Tiger on it.
    I noticed it kernel panics on reboot and not a shutdown THEN reboot. (or in technical terms, a "cold book.")
    I've also tried installing Leopard on it, but it runs very slugishly, but here's the catch: It doesn't kernel panics on reboot.
    Another thing is that the kernel panic is linked to the AirPort Extreme Card. I repaired permissions and ran AHT, no problems found.
    Could anybody help me figure this out?

    Can you post some of your crash logs? Might be a clue. See Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546
    Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
    Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. What external devices do you have connected? When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices. Do you experience the same problems?
    To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: Testing RAM @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
    Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc (the AHT is on the Install/Restore DVD that came with your Mac)? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
    May be a solution on one of these links.

    powerbook g4 - does not start up...it shows kernel panic screen...how do i fix/resolve this problem?

    In the overwhelming majority of cases, kernel panic indicates a severe hardware problem. Braby and Allan pointed to useful things. If you can boot from CD / DVD and reinstall without any kernel panic, then may be a software problem, but this is less probable. You must check, anyway.
    If you have a 2nd mac around and a firewire cable, you may try to restart the ill mac in target mode and connect it to a healthy mac to see whether it may be used in target mode.

  • 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2010 . Constant Kernel Panic and Reboot

    Hello, im having this issue from six months ago. The problem its a constant rebooting of my mac , when turned on shows a Kernel Panic inform that i copy here. I have contacted the tech support here in my country ( Argentina ) but they can not solve the problem. They told me than cand be a logic board issue, but in all the hardware test the macbook get an OK ! The only strange they discover is a electric problem in the usb ports, but i dont have any problems whith pen drives or usb external disks.
    The rebooting its unpredicible , but in some cases like using the spacebar for previewing files if i do it five or six times it reboots instantly showing then the Kernel Error.
    I really nedd help !
    Thank you, and sorry for the monkey insland English !

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • Kernel Panic & Screen Failures

    I've just had two identical failures in one day on two separate Powerbook G4's running Tiger. There was a kernel panic while playing World of Warcraft, and now the computers' screens cannot be activated. I hear the hard drives spinning, but the screen never comes on. The Apple light on the back of the lid does not light up, the sleep light does not work - in fact, the sleep function does not seem to kick in when the lid is closed.
    My wife's G4 failed yesterday. She was playing WoW, and she reported several kernel panics. Finally her machine failed to boot correctly at all.
    Today, I tried to get it working, employing all the usual methods. I suspected some type of hardware failure. We gave up, she pulled out her old iBook and I played a little WoW on my G4. While simply checking my in-game mail, I got a freeze/kernel panic. I rebooted and the screen stayed blank - precisely the same symptoms as hers.
    These are identical 12" Powerbook G4 1.3 GHz models with 867 RAM (factory-installed) in each. We're on an Airport network and in separate rooms, and not plugged into the same power source.
    I reset PRAM, reset the Power Manager - no luck.
    I get startup chimes (even the second chime for the PRAM reset) and I can hear the drive working. The system is coming up, but the screens and lights are not working for some reason.
    I can boot the machines into Target Disk mode and access the hard drives via this iBook, so the system seems intact. On the affected machines, I can press the Volume up/down keys and hear the audio sound cues. Brightness keys have no effect.
    It would really seem to be a Power Manager issue, as if no power is reaching the screen or anything in the lid. I reset the Power manager to no avail....
    Two screen failures on identical machines under the same circumstances less than 12 hours apart? That's one heck of a coincidence... is anyone aware of a known issue similar to this?
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    No, this is not it.
    I too today expienced a Kernel Panic while playing WoW. This only happened before about 4 or 5 freezes within the game which ended up having to be reset with the powerbutton pressed for 10secs.
    This happened, as I said, about 4 or 5 times, while connected to external monitor and without. This has only ever happened to me today. I reinstalled WoW. Nothing. I thought it was a temperature overheat so monitored the temperature with iPulse, it heated to 55.3 degrees celcius, one fan kicked in and it crashed.
    I then used GioFX's HD 3d screensaver.
    The computer crashed within minutes. What causes these crashes?! It is something to do with the GPU's 3d rendering, but I can't see why it happened today... the only thing I can think of is heat damage, it has been hot the past few days (30 degrees and more ambient temperature) and the laptop's fans have been working full tilt for 2, 3 hours and more while I play.
    I am lucky, as my PB is able to be used (as long as no graphics are intense) but it is, in effect broken.
    I need a response quickly, my guarantee with the seller is running out soon, do I need a GPU replacement or don't I?
    This happened while playing World Of Warcraft 1.11.2(5464) and attached to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

  • Stuck with kernel panic, iMac reboots constantly

    A couple of days ago I got a kernel panic when I tried to switch on my iMac, i.e. I got this screen: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392
    I rebooted, got the same message again before I could do much.
    There was a stuck DVD, so I could not even try to boot from DVD and run a hardware check.
    I searched online, and somebody had written that this problem was fixed after changing a keyboard. I tried that, and it booted OK, was able to eject the disk, and THEN I got a kernel panic message. I rebooted and was able to work a bit, make a time machine backup, etc.
    Yesterday the kernel panic appeared again. I inserted the MacOS Install disk 1, to make a hardware check, but after rebooting, the machine cycled rebooting and rebooting and rebooting.
    Sometimes I got a kernel panic message, but not in most cases. It seems that the problem lies before I can choose the boot mode, since I cannot do it from disk, target mode, eject disk, etc...
    Today I booted without keyboard-mouse connected, and it was OK. Soon after I connected the (new) keyboard & mouse, I got a kernel panic. After rebooting it was same story: it reboots automatically every 10 seconds or so...
    I also tried resetting the PRAM (last resort from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2238 ), and it seems to me that the boot sound is louder, but keeps on rebooting the same...
    I just have one RAM chip that came with the computer, so it's not some RAM incompatibility...
    Any ideas?
    Even if there is a way of ejecting the disk, that might help, I could try to restore the system a few days back with time machine, or run some updates, in case it is a software problem... Otherwise it seems it is a hardware problem...

    Can you boot from the restore disk and use the Disk Utility app to check the disk for errors?
    Restart your Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    Resolving Kernel Panics
    Try ejecting the disk by booting while holding down the mouse, or, boot while holding the Eject key on the keyboard.

  • Weekly Crashes, Kernel Panics, Freezes, Reboot, Shut Downs, HELP!

    I've posted this problem everywhere but no one seems to care or have anything useful to say, so I'm asking you guys now.
    _My current situation:_
    I have a Unibody MacBook Pro 15 inch, 2.53 GHz, 4GB RAM, bought in Late 2008, so it's the first generation of Unibodies.
    It came with Leopard and *everything was perfect and wonderful, until I upgraded to Snow Leopard*.
    Since then, approximately once or twice a week, I get various problems that involve a hard reset of the computer. This is sometimes a *complete freeze, a spontaneous reboot, a power-off without warning, or a kernel panic*. So sometimes the computer will reboot on its own, sometimes it will power off without rebooting, and sometimes it just freezes requiring me to power it off by holding the power button.
    For example, the problem I just had 10 minutes ago can be described as follows:
    The mouse suddenly moves a lot faster than usual, and seems to freeze from time to time. The Skype audio conversation I am having still works perfectly fine. I try to click, press exposé, but nothing reacts. The mouse reacts to movement, but moves way too fast. Then, all of a sudden, the last bit of audio from Skype keeps *looping forever*, and everything has frozen, including the mouse. Then the computer goes black and starts to reboot automatically.
    This has happened many times before. Often, the computer would start to reboot (totally on its own), I would hear the startup chime, and then it would go black again, and start booting *all over again*.
    Sometimes the screensaver just freezes, with random thick grey horizontal lines scanning and flickering across the screen. It won't react to anything, even the Caps Lock key won't light up when pressed.
    I have noticed that these problems only seem happen when I am using the *9600M graphics card*. Not when using the 9400M. This is not for sure, as I rarely use the 9400M.
    However, before you say it's a graphics card failure, let me just clarify that NONE of this happened on Leopard for a year. Absolutely nothing. Now I don't believe that by coincidence, my graphics card failed for no reason right on the day I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    I have talked with a genius and all he could say that he has no idea and that there's nothing he can do. He said it could be RAM or it could be the graphics card, but that's just based on what I told him. He could take the machine for some time and run tests on it, but I can't live without my computer at the moment, it is crucial for my studies, I'd rather have it crash every 4 days than not have a computer at all for a few days.
    _What I have tried so far:_
    I have run the basic Apple Hardware Test, I haven't run the Extended one yet.
    I used Tech Tool Pro's non-booting interface and it shows no problems.
    I repaired permissions more times that the number of atoms in the universe.
    I checked the hard drive for errors using Disk Utility, nothing.
    I will try reinstalling Snow Leopard if the upcoming 10.6.3 update doesn't solve the problem.
    *Then I will reinstall Leopard.*
    Until then, can anyone think of anything that could help? I'm looking for SOFTWARE related issues, not hardware. If my problem is hardware, I'm doomed, as I am out of warranty, and I'm NOT paying any amount of money to fix this as I've only bought this super expensive computer a year and a half ago.
    So, please help me. I'm very annoyed. My 8 year old Pentium III with Windows 2000 is more stable than this.

    Here are two extracts from the Console.app, both generated during the time of two separate crashes, I would like someone who knows anything about the Console messages to have a look through it and check what's similar in both of them, and maybe point to what may be the cause. I found that each time there's something about "64 bit mode enabled" and also something like "launchd[1] has started up". I don't know what these mean but all I know is that these messages were generated during at least two crashes. The way the last two crashes happened were as follows: the mouse started being over sensitive, as I moved my finger over the trackpad, the pointer moved way too fast compared to normally. I could not click anything, and the rest of the screen was frozen, except for the strange mouse pointer. The Skype conversation in the background was still working fine, except that the person reported not seeing me anymore on the webcam. My green iSight light was still on though. Then the mouse froze and in one case the system rebooted on its own, in another case I had to do it manually.
    Here are the two logs:

  • Upgrade to osx 10.6.8 causes kernel panic on reboot

    Hi friends,
    Am reposting this as I have more infomration now.
    Problem: Having installed the 10.6.8 upgrade, (currently running osx 10.6 on a 2009 iMac) then on reboot the machine undergoes a kernel panic.
    General Observations; The machien has given ZERO problems since I bought it. The only peripherals are an USB apple keypad and an apple USB Mouse connected to the keyboards ancillary USB port.
    Diagnostic actions to date;
    1. Completely erased disk, created new partition, verified disk and also verified disk permissions (all good).
    2. Re-installed Snow Leopard.
    3. Cleared PRAM using the option-command-P-R (waited for 4 Apple Chimes).
    Result: Nada !
    System still crashes.
    Geranal Notes: As I live in Malaysia, Lion DVD installation kit is still nto available here.  So I have to upgrade to Lion via the net. However, I cannot upgrade to Lion unless I first complete ythe other 10.6 related upgrades (this is my undertanding).
    Question: Anyone out there with any ideas ? What about the folks over at Apple. This is fairly basic stuff. An Apple mandated Upgrade renders an Apple Hardware platform inoperable.

    A: If your machine had a completely erased hard drive and a fresh install of OS x 10.6 (no other software installed) and you got kernel panic's then it's the 10.6 disk, you'll need to clean it or get a new one from Apple.
    If the new disk also produces the same problem, then it's got to be the hardware.
    B: If your machine is like A, but the kernel panics started when you updated to 10.6.8 (no other software installed) then it's a bad update. Reinstall with the 10.6.8 Combo Update instead. Also c boot off the 10.6 disk and Repair Disk, the 10.6.8 update did something to the drive that it needs repair.
    C: If your machine was fine on 10.6, installed third party software worked, then kernel panics started after the 10.6.8 update. Then it's compatability issues with kext files and 10.6.8 changes.
    The 10.6.8 update borked a lot of third party kernel extension files (kext) installed in OS X.
    What you can do is this:
    Hold the Shift key down to boot into Safe Mode, this will disable the kext files from loading, backup your files off the machine (not TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
    Go around and update all your third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8,
    If you need a clue, look in your System/Library/Extensions and usually the names of the companies are on the kext file names. Sometimes copy protected software will use another companies copy protection system, so it will be under another name.
    Funny thing about kext files, they are not all in the System/Library/Extensions folder to load upon boot, they can be located anywhere the program decides and loaded when the program loads.
    If you have programs that are auto-launching at log-in then naturally so does it's kext files.
    10.6 will run all your present software and drivers for hardware just fine, 10.7 will not and is NOT advised for older hardware. Early 2011 or later Lion is just fine, but you'll likely have to buy all new software to work with it.
    Despite 2GB of RAM being Lion's minimum, 4GB is advised. Also you will need a 64 bit Intel Mac, not a 32 bit Intel Mac (no Lion for Core Duo's)
    Tested, Lion is a hair slower than Snow Leopard
    Check this site to make sure your third party programs are updated for Lion, not many are yet.
    Some are undergoing a rewrite because Apple introduced a MacAppStore and likely told all the developers their programs will eventually have to comply with the restrictions placed there to run on Apple hardware, this means Apple is likely going to close up and we can't install software of our choice just like it is on iPads and iPhones.

  • 10.4.11 Kernel Panics & Auto-Rebooting

    I'm having problems with my servers (a G5 Xserve running 10.4.11 OSX Server & a Power Mac G5 running 10.4.11 OSX Server) and I can't seem to pinpoint the causes.
    The only reason the Power Mac G5 is running server is in case the Xserve poops out on me. The Xserve (until 3 weeks ago) was the only server being used and had run continuously for a year and a half with no problems like this at all
    This is a small prepress network connected to a larger windows network in a printing plant.
    The only clients that connect to these servers are G5 & Intel Macs running 10.5 and 1 or 2 wintel machines running Windows 2000.
    Both machines only have the AFP & Windows services running.
    *The Problem:* Both machines rather frequently either have kernel panics (the grey multi-language descending curtain) or they just automatically reboot. This seems to happen when files are copied across the network (files taking more than a minute or two to copy) to or from either machine. The problem also occurs 90% of the time when I run Software Update on either machine. This also happens when files are being copied to or from an external firewire drive on both machines.
    *Things I have checked:*
    1) I ran an ethernet cable straight from each server machine to a department workstation (to take routers and hubs out of the equation) and the problem persists.
    2) The problem persists even with Xserve RAID/Firewire Drives & Tape Backups/USB Drives disconnected
    3) I checked the RAM, Processor, disks, and volumes on both machines with Techtool Pro and it reported absolutely no problems.
    Any help would be appreciated... this issue is driving me nuts.
    Message was edited by: Doug Pfeifer

    Doug, I have the same problem, my research leads me to believe that it may be a particular 2cnd or 3rd party plug in for quick time or some 3rd party software. I went as far as reinstalling my software with no updating and it worked until I started updating everything. so If you figure it out, let me know.

  • Kernel Panic - imac rebooting please help?

    Hello
    My 2009 iMac continues to reboot due to kernel panic during the past couple of week. It happes several times a day. I cannot find any specific cause and it seems to happen randomly. That is even when the computer is on standby. I hvae searched the web, but cannot find a solution. The problem is getting worse.
    I have tried apple hardware test that detected no problems. I have upgraded the imac last yaer with a Samsung SSD and its running 6 gb ram. It has worked flawless until now. Should I consider buying a new Imac?
    Here is the log:

  • IMac 5K random kernel panics and rebooting

    My brand new iMac 5k (I received 10 days ago) is randomly freezing, then showing kernel panic message and rebooting itself. It happens almost everyday at work with no apparent reason. Already tried reinstallling OS X, SMC and PRAM reset with no luck. The iMac is configured to never sleep, and it happens while using it, so no related with wake-up problems I read everywhere.
    it's a maxed out iMac 5K (i7, 32GB of RAM, 3TB FD and the 295X 4GB VRAM) with updated Yosemite.
    No peripherals attached (except an external USB 3.0 Lacie hard drive with video files for editing), no uncommon sofrware installed (only Final, Avid, Adobe Suite and Skype, Dropbox, etc.) and still happening randomly.
    I had a chat with AppleCare and they told me I have 2 options:
    - Taking it to service for revision.
    - Asking for a refund or replacement.
    Of course, I will not take it to revision (it's brand new!), but I don't know if ask for refund or replacement for a new one, because I readed too many iMac 5K users with similar problems. Does anyone knows if it is a common problem with iMacs 5K? If I ask for a replacement and still happens, can I ask then for a refund?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Leopard Kernel panic - when rebooted main user account is gone

    The title describes my problem well I think. My macbook running Leopard had a kernel panic. When I rebooted, the user account was gone. I booted from the Leopard DVD to reset the password, and reset the password of the root account and a mobile account - to which I have forgotten the password - with admin privileges. Neither one will log on. I'm pretty sure the mobile account will need the domain controller to successfully log on.
    The root user I have never activated, so I suppose I can't use that. And without the ability to log in I can't seem to think of a way to activate it either.
    There's a guest account available. And it works alright.

    Will either of the two accounts log in while booted in safe mode (hold down the shift key at boot time)?

  • I tried to install a new hard drive using Snow Leopard to back up with Time Machine. When I installed the new HD I installed Leopard (10.5) on it and tried to use time machine to restore the backup I had made using 10.6. Kernel panic screen occurred.

    I backed up my system using 10.6 Snow Leopard's Time Machine to an external hard drive. I did this because I purchased a new internal hard drive to upgrade my 2007 White Macbook from 80GB to 320GB. When I installed the new hard drive, I installed 10.4 (Tiger) and then 10.5 (Leopard) and once Leopard was in I tried to use Time Machine to restore my backup from 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and received a kernal panic screen directly after the bootup.
    The screen had code asking for 10.6, so does this mean that the computer is searching for Snow Leopard? If so, how can I do this? Will a bootable drive with Snow Leopard on it be able to solve the issue or will I somehow need to find a way to wipe out this new hard drive?

    Booting From Snow Leopard Installer Disc
    1. Insert Snow Leopard Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Drive Preparation and Installation
    1. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.

  • HT1820 how do you restore the hard drive with install cd after zeroing out all files? when i try to boot install disk or from usb a kernel panic screen appears telling me to restart my computer.

    everytime i try to boot installation a message appears saying 'you need to restart your computer. holddown the power button until power is off then press down power button again'. i read that it was a kernel panic. cant boot into any modes but recovery mode with disk utilities but my wireless internet says no wifi hardware installed and sometimes startup manager. this just started after i erased the hard drive and had it overwritten with zeros. its a macbook pro 7,1. bought it in 2011, i think it was made in 2009. it has 320 gb of empty space right now and nothing ive tried seems to work. please help!!!! there is also no os x installed right now due to me zeroing out the hard drive how do i repair it so it will boot to installation?? i can also enter single user mode but do not have root access?
