Kernel Panics with Brand New Macbook Pro

Hey guys,
I've experience two kernel panics since purchasing my Brand new MBP three days ago. I really just want the problem to end, this is a new piece of equipment, it should function perfectly. At the time of the panic I had a Lacie 1TB USB HD plugged directly into the computer, a 4 port usb hub on which a USB keyboard and thumb drive and mouse were plugged in. I was running Transmission, Safari, iTunes and simplify Media. I opened my system prefs to edit my geektool arrangements and the panic happened.
Here's my system config at the time of the panic:

Both panics have been reported to Apple promptly after they happened. Any help is really appreciated. As I said before, I just really want my computer to work with no issue. The thing's brand new!
Also: since the panic I have moved the usb keyboard from the hub to a port directly on the computer.
Thanks for your help!

Remove all the external devices you have connected. If any of the USB peripherals required installing software such as drivers, then you should uninstall the software as well as disconnecting the device to prevent panics. If no kernel panics occur after using the computer this way, then the problem is related to one or more of the peripherals you are using. Based on the panic log information the likely candidates are one or more of the USB devices you are using.

Kernel Panic with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement on Macbook Pro Retina 15

Hello,
I'm getting Kernel Panic with grey "Death Screen". This happends 5 times. On 5-th of January (3 times) and on 8-th (2 times).
All the cases according to Consol reports have similar symphtoms:
panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff802aeb7e75): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7face2557e, type 13=general protection, registers:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace:
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(196.0)[F79878E3-8CF9-3ACF-B578-2CE 754CA61F8]@0xffffff7face0e000->0xffffff7face36fff
This line (besides many others) is different in reports
BSD process name corresponding to current thread: WindowServer (2 times)
And other one quicklookd, WebProcess and Web Service.
I sent all reports to Apple Support as MAC OS asked me about. BTW I can publish them again here.
Firstly, may be it's possible to figure out the reason of panics: Is this the SW or HW problem?
Guys at service told me to bring Macbook AS IS. But if this is the SW problem I can clean / reinstall OS etc. myself.
And (after cleaning and/or reinstalling) if the problem is in HW I'll be getting panics again. So I can bring to service Macbook with new history of panics.
So what is the probability of HW problem in such a case. When all reports point to the same .kext file.
Thank You in advance.
Cheers,
Victor
P.S.: Computer is new, I didn't change configuration, OS etc.
Installed programs under question: m3tag (Tag Editor - recompiled by somebody from WIndows program with some similar to CrossOver env.)
Adobe FlashPlayer Plugin

Thanks for reply.
Exactly - MP3Tag Wineskin port. I also think that here is the reason. This port is up-to-date (10.8.2 compatible) but very inacurate - I found many garbage in MP3Tag package. And the original Windows program is very old - 1984(?).
I removed this program from computer and I have to get a try for some period of time.

Kernel panic on brand new MacBook

New Mac user here - just got a MacBook two days ago. The first one they sold me turned out to be DOA (which they discovered when they went to upgrade the RAM to 1 gb, so at least we found out before I left the store). The store swapped it out for a working model and installed the additional RAM.
Had a bit of a scare tonight when I went to turn it on and the screen was very dark - could barely make out the words that said I needed to restart the system. Since I've heard that Mac is so much more stable than Windows, this concerned me (especially with the first MacBook being nonfunctional).
What might have caused this? Panic log is posted below:

Hi aaronpaul;
So you used the old speak softly and carry a big stick method of computer repair. I like it even though I am unsure as to how effective that method is.

Problems with brand new macbook pro

I have recently recieved my macbook pro 15 inch, intel core 750gb hard drive laptop. And i am experiencing some annoying problems. Firstly I plug in the charger and it will say not charing (although it will be the power source) and it takes a few goes to get it to charge, secondly, i have some logitech Z506 speakers and while listening to itunes, it seems t fluxuate in volume, and drops in and out, but when watching movies or shows its fine. Also my screen seems to be a lot darker then the old mac book pro. Is this just my eyes or is there a difference now. The last problem i have is when i have my macbook pro to full (through my speakers) and my speakers down, it sounds tinny and distorted with crackle, so then i have to turn my laptop down and my speakers up.

Hi There,
Make sure that the charger connection is free of dust and debris which can cause the charger from connecting properly. I would also suggest doing an SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 Read through the instructions carefully before attempting the SMC reset.

Kernel Panic on brand new Mac Pro

It happened afer the Finder freaked out from a search on a large network volume (1,3 TB). Tried to use Apple Remote Desktop to restart the machine, but the startup process stopped with the blue screen and the spinning cog-wheel.
After a forced restart (button on front) I got presented with the dialog saying OS X was restarted unproperly.
The log comes below.
Any ideas?

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

Why did my brand new macbook pro come with Snow Leopard instead of Lion?

I JUST bought a brand new Macbook Pro assuming that it would come with Lion, but it didn't. My brother who just bought an Air the day before me got Lion with his computer. Shouldn't new computers come with new software? I'm confused. Can anyone help me?

Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
I am running Snow leopard.
I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
Thanks

Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
Hope that helps.

Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

My brand new MacBook Pro won't turn on. What's the deal with this?

I got the thing yesterday. Sat down with it last night and everything started up fine. I set up my account and then it was time for updates. Naturally, I said yes to the updates. They downloaded, they installed, and that was the last time my brand new MacBook Pro turned on. I've checked to see that the battery is fully charged. I've tried plugging into other outlets. I've tried removing the battery and the power cord and pressing the power button for 5 seconds. Nothing has worked. When I put my ear up to it while pressing the power button, I can hear it try to start and get about 2-3 seconds in to start up and then a click and nothing. Does anybody have any idea what the heck has happened here?

I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!

Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

Brand new macbook pro 2012 (no retina display) 95% battery health with 5 cycles? is that okay?

I know, another battery related question. I have recently bought a brand new macbook pro (no retina display), I calibrated the battery at least twice since Ive had it and it states that I am at 95% battery health with only 5 charges. Is that normal or should I bring my macbook in to be checked? Id like to get this settled before school starts in September since I depend on my macbook a great deal.
thanks !

Full cycle? 100%, of course.
How you get there is another matter. It can be a battery killing full discharge that will certainly ensure a brief life. Or a leisure set of discharges down to 20%, 30% or more. When they all sum up 100%, winner! You've got a cycle!!
Apple recommends you enjoy your Mac and don't obsess too much on battery stuff. Just exercise the electrons every so often by bringing it down to, say, 20% and charge it back up. Going all the way down to the bitter end, when the Mac forces itself to sleep is sort of ok too and won't do (too much) damage, provided you don't make it an engrained habit. We all forget the power brick occasionally and get caught out in the wild with whatever charge was left inside.

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

My brand New Macbook Pro with Retina Display is slow.

Just today I got a brand new Macbook Pro with the Retina Display. Last week I got the same one except the base model ($1300). Today I decided I wanted a much faster one with better storage so I decided to exchange it for the higher end model ($1500) with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd. When I went to speedtest.net, the results were really dissappointing. I got 65 ping, 15mbps for download speed, and 2mbps for upload speed. My previous new Macbook got a 13 ping, 20 mbps for download speed, and 6 mbps for upload speed. I've restarted my computer many times but got the same results (even with different browsers). Does anybody know why is this?

Hi gluMoster,
It's frustrating when laying out your hard earned cash on technology to find out that it just doesn't fix your issues. Fortunately it sounds to me that your issue is your network and/or internet service provider. The "speedtest" only checks your connectivity to various servers on the internet, and doesn't really test out your laptop.
For a hardware(laptop/desktop) test I recommend geekbench which can be found at http://www.primatelabs.com/geekbench/ the tools here will test your machines processor and give you an idea of your hardwares speed.
To remedy your problem I would first check your wireless router (I am assuming your laptop connects to the internet wirelessly) and see if it is atleast N capable. I see routers all the time that are B/G that get old and just can't deliver the speed that new and added network devices and websites require to function frictionless. If your router is an N or better yet an AC, then we'd need to look at your modem or your service provider. If you have ATT DSL, there have been reports, somewhat confirmed, that they are dialing down things on the DSL side in order to persuade their customers to move to Uverse, but you didn't hear that from me
If your router is ok, and the modem too take your laptop and sit it relatively close to your wireless router/access point and run the speedtest again. It could be that some new piece of furniture, or maybe even cordless phone is blocking the wireless signal to where you use your laptop most.
Best of luck,
damon
