Kernel panics with external mouse in clamshell mode

Have had more than 6 kernel panics; usually after waking; always in clamshell mode when using a Logitech wireless mouse (with or w/o software loaded) or Kensington USB trackball (with driver loaded but not worth using w/o driver). Does not happen with Apple USB mouse. Does not happen in laptop mode -- haven't tried laptop mode w/external mouse. Always on work Ethernet when in clamshell mode.
Has occurred w/OS 10.4.9 and 10.4.10. Have run extended Apple hardware test w/no results.
Have removed Logitech “LCC” file from user/library/application enhancers.
Have experienced panics w/a variety of apps open/active, including just Safari.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Here are panic logs:

Greetings.
I'm having the same problem as Beanfield. I'm using a MX620 Logitech Wireless Laser Mouse, and it produces several problems under Mac OS X 10.4.10. The micro receiver is plugged to the rear of my iMac Intel Dual Core and altough I've switched it to the USB ports of my Apple Keyboard it still happens.The Kernel Panics (with the Grey Screen of Death) happen mostly when the mouse awakes the computer. Very often, when right clicking or single clicking items, the menus appear and disappear. Dragging items becomes impossible and even after restarting the iMac the problem persists.
It also interfers with the keyboard: sometimes the cursor blinks when moving and when I press any key on the keyboard, it resumes its normal activity. Recently I've added 1 G of RAM, but I've excluded it from the problem since it worked normaly with my now defunt Mighty Mouse. Also, I bought a 500 G Lacie external drive that works very well.
I'm getting very frustrated since this problems began only a few weeks after my purchases, which took in account full compatibility with my system. All drivers are correctly installed so...what's happening?
Best Regards

  • Kernel panics with external Apple modem

    This question has been raised before, but I'm revisiting it in hopes someone may have found a solution.
    I'm getting frequent freezes and failures to awake from sleep, and a number of kernel panics that always implicate the faxmodem:
    Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):

    When the USB modem is not connected I do not get these KPs.
    Apparently there is a firmware conflict between this old Apple modem (I bought it for another machine in 2006) and Intel-based duo-core machines. The Apple Store people tell me the newest Apple USB modems are the same, that is, they have not been updated.
    Any ideas? Do I have to buy another fax modem? I just use it for faxes.
    Thanks.

  • Sleep not working with external screen in clamshell mode

    I have my macbook with Lion operating in clamshell mode with an external display connected as the main screen.
    Although I have set the computer to sleep after 10mins, this never happens and I have to sleep the computer manually every time.
    If I disconnect the external display, or open my Mac and work with both screens, the computer does sleep properly after the set time.
    I can't seem to find the fix anywhere, and the people in the mac store couldn't help me either.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thx,

    How to disable the closed-clamshell mode?
    I think, this is what you're looking for ... maybe you want to uproot that question.

  • Frequent kernel panics with MPB 2.0 with 2GB RAM

    I have been having frequent kernel panics with my MPB. I have 2GB of RAM that came pre-installed from the factory. This seems to happen most often when I am using external firewire drives. Has anyone out there had similar problems?

    I've done the permission repairs. Also zapped the
    PRAM. Ran the hardware test off the installer DVD
    and it immediately came back with an error code
    (4MEM/1/60000000:) and told me to contact Applecare.
    I called Applecare and they were not very helpful.
    The operator I spoke with had no idea what the
    error code meant. He told me that RAM either works
    or it doesn't. The PRAM zap was done at his
    suggestion. Hasn't changed a thing. The kernel
    panics have only grown more steady over the past
    couple of weeks. More frustrating are frequent and
    repeated application crashes (even simple stuff like
    Safari, Mail, Address Book and Preview). Applecare
    suggested I do a clean install of the OS. But it
    sounds like a hardware issue to me. The app crashes
    are occurring in different accounts on my MPB. I
    don't want to spent a half-day reinstalling all of
    my software only to have the issues continue. I'm
    going to try to re-seat the RAM and then make an
    appointment at the genius bar to have them take a
    look at this. It had been running perfectly for the
    first few weeks.
    If you had an error code during the Hardware Test your MBP has a problem. The 4MEM/1/60000000: maybe linked to bad RAM or not seated correctly. If not seated correctly it will not boot, so it sounds like a bad RAM slot or memory stick.

  • Kernel Panic with Stripes

    I've got a 3 year old 15" macbook pro that went into Kernel Panic with Stripes today. There was nothing plugged in except for a power supply. My wife said it was in sleep mode and then she opened it up and displayed the following screen.
    /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
    I've rebooted it a few times and the same thing keeps happening. I also plugged it into another machine and mounted it as a firewire drive and am currently copying all the files over to another drive.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Bad or incompatible RAM is the most common cause of KP's. It could just need to be reset……. to make sure there's a good connection.
    But, in your case.....Video Card? Just guessing from the stripes. Pay heed to running the +Apple Hardware Test+ in the following link.
    Here's a great site for Resolving Kernel Panics. Please do all the steps in order, even if you don't think you need to do a certain step.
    Here's a great MacFixIt article.

  • 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 Panics with 10.4.7.

    So, did anyone else SUDDENLY get Kernel Panics with the 10.4.7?

    Hi, Anapharya.
    No kernel panics on my Macs after 10.4.7 Update.
    See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics.
    My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein.
    Good luck!

  • Kernel panic with larch5.3 building CD!

    Hi, could someone kindly help this.
    I got the kernel panic with larch5.3 building CD. I didn't get any error messages during the creating. The error message of starting system is in belowing words.

    Hi gradgrind, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have added aufs, eject packages. But it seems still cannot work. Sorry for many troubles.
    One think. When I create the iso file, it gives a warning message.

  • Finder crashes with External Drive on Sleep Mode

    I purchased my new iMac 21,5" less than a week ago, and I haven't had a problem with it except for one that it's been bugging me a lot.
    I have a LaCie 1TB Quadra d2 external drive that I use to store footage (since it's HD, the filesize won't fit in my 500TB internal hard drive), but I noticed that sometimes when LaCie external drive enters in Sleep Mode, the Finder freezes and the only two ways around this, is to force reboot, because the Finder won't answer and won't open again, or unplugging the external drive without ejecting him first, which it's not safe for me to do, because I'm afraid of hurting the device, and the files in it are pretty important.
    This happens almost everytime, especially after a long time on sleep mode. I usually leave Final Cut Pro transferring files all night (since it takes a long time) so I kinda need the sleep mode, but when I wake up, Finder and Final Cut Pro won't answer.
    I updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on day one. Is there a way to fix this? Is it normal? I read somewhere that some users were having trouble with external drives on Sleep Mode, but I can't seem to find any further information about this problem.
    Thanks!

    I've got a MacBook Pro 13.3" that's a little over a month old, with a LaCie 1TB LaCie d2 Quadra with USB 3.0, #301542U and I'm suffering the same problems and a few others with it. I've got a partition on it set up as my Time Machine backup drive. I've turned off the Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible in the Energy Saver preferences but I'm still having the sleep problem with it. According to the LaCie Manual:
    By default, your drive will enter Eco Mode after 30 minutes of inactivity in order to conserve energy. To exit Eco Mode, simply access data on the drive and the disk will automatically restart. You can manage this feature using LaCie Desktop Manager. Click the Eco tab.
    The LaCie Desktop Manager (in my case) only takes me to the Energy Saver Preferences in OS X to adjust the time there. Turning off Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible doesn't seem to make any difference, the drive still goes to sleep after 30 minutes. However, after 15 minutes the drive seems to wake back up, but then during the next 15 minutes goes comatose (no power light). Sometimes it will go through multiples of these sleep wake cycles without going into a coma, but eventually it does go into a coma. This happens in between hourly Time Machine backups.
    After locking up Finder, Disk Utility and Time Machine multiple times trying to access the drive in this state I figured out that I could cycle the power switch to regain use of it (with a Finder warning of course) but this will only lead to file corruption eventually and I shouldn't have to resort to this. I've also dismounted it, expecting it to turn off and instead it goes into an extended spin down cycle (rapidly flashing light) and never turns off (or goes to sleep or what ever it's supposed to do) and once again requires turning the power switch off.
    This is just too unpredictible and unrelable for me and as soon as I get the opportunity to do a 7 pass erase I'll be returning to the place of purchase. Based on the reviews of other external hard drives a drive from another company doesn't look to be much better of a prospect so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

  • Kernel Panics with Toast 8

    I kept getting kernel panics with iDVD and Toast 7. I upgraded to the iLife '08 and Toast 8, did all the software updates, and firmware updates to the DVD burner, but I'm still getting kernel panics. The computer's a PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, LaCie Lightscribe DVD dual-layer burner.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    all software is up to date.
    iDVD 5 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). While this article indicates that the application may simply quit, other issues could also appear.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306062
    Again, no mention of kernel panics, but Roxio has yet to release an update to Toast 7 to make it compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). An update is planned for the future.
    http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/Jam/000056T?set-locale=en
    The text of the kernel panic itself may help some more knowledgeable people here to help determine what piece may be causing the trouble. Or if both crashes are related or separate. You can find the text of the panic in the Console utility.

  • Kernel panic with 3TB USB external hard drive

    Hi all,
    I have just purchased a 3TB western digital elements hard drive, and formatted into two partitions (one 1tb mac extended, one 2tb ntfs)  but every time I plug it into my macbook pro I get a kernel panic.  I used find file to look for and remove any western digital or wdc extensions / frameworks, and it still happens.  Here's my kernel panic log... any suggestions?
    I have winmagic securedoc media viewer for mac 6.1.1 installed (needed for encrypted drives at work), and vmware fusion installed, don't know if those are involved in the panic or if its something else... any help is appreciated.

  • Mac Mini mid 2011 kernel panic with Lion Internet Recovery

    My Mac Mini froze while using Safari and watching a youtube video, so I restarted the machine by holding down the power button, then on startup I reloaded Safari, and it completely froze again. This time around, I got a kernel panic on boot. I tried booting into single user mode by holding down the shift key, but that still gave me a kernel panic. So I tried using the Lion Internet Recovery mode by holding down command-option-R when booting. The OS showed the Internet Recovery progress bar, but when it completed and the machine rebooted, I got a kernel panic again.
    Is there anything else I can try to recover this machine, or do I need to take it into an Apple store to have them fix it?  It's a mid-2011 model, so I don't have a DVD drive in it, so I can't use a boot disc, although I guess I could use a bootable USB, but I don't have another machine to create one with.
    I figure if it kernel panics from an Internet Recovery, then that takes my hard drive and anything that was installed on it out of the equation. I've also disconnected all external devices, drives, etc, and only have a monitor and keyboard/mouse attached to it, so that rules out any other devices that might be causing problems.
    Thanks for any advice
    Adam

    Make sure the monitor is plugged in firmly as well as your keyboard/mouse.
    Try resetting the PRAM.
    Reset your computer’s PRAM
    It's less likely to be helpful but if resetting PRAM doesn't help try resetting the SMC.

    If neither of those things work it's probably time to visit the Genius bar.

  • MORE kernel panics with 10.4.5

    ok so i posted that i had kernel panics after updating to 10.4.1 etc. and after i installed the newest security update to 10.4.5 the kernel panics stopped...for half a month. now all of a sudden as april hits my screen keeps having little mini freezes(the curser freezes..then moves again after like 5 seconds..then another few seconds later my screen works again. grr. well apparently i also had "graphics card" panics the past 2 days. now as i mentioned i updated the security update and it fixed the driver issues that were mentioned as a problem with nvidia geforce2 graphics cards. now NOTHING has been changed on my comp and the panics are listing graphics cards as the i had before(listed below)
    now as i type this i have had like 5 freeze ups. i have tried running disk utility and fixed permissions. and after i restarted after kp my screen was ALL messed up and showing lines and much stuff itwouldnt show icons unless i moused over them but my desktop pic wasnt complete either

    hey thanks for your words of wisdom i will work thru to the best of my ability. my post wasnt complete as i would have liked it as my comp was driving me beyond insane so i just posted and quit to "walk away lest i KILL the machine". so i will add to it now. had another kp same ostensible reason. however after i restarted this morning the machine has been acting normal. so at least that allows me to go thru and try some trouble shooting things.
    i have tech tool pro 4.1.1 which i believe is the newest update or at least as new as needed for compatibility and such. i ran it with no reported issues. i also have disk warrior(latest update) and ran that with no reported issues(tho i have heard that the new tech tool is superior). i DO have an external drive(maxtor one touchII). which before a driver upgrade was a source of issue with my system. but that was resolved easily. THEN i updated to the newest system point updates(10.4.1-10.4.4) and had problems with KP again IMMEDIATELY. listing grapics card as problem. well as update 10.4.5 listed nvidia graphics card driver updates in its list of features i managed(with much trouble) to update. still issues till i installed the security update then everything was honkydorey for about 20 days or so then all of a sudden graphics card issues. i WAS wondering if driver support problems could have damaged the card?
    also however i remembered that i hadnt updated the system on my external(which i primarily use for storage and backup but my father installed Tiger on) OH says I that is still using the system that conflicts with the graphics card i will upgrade that...well i cant seem to do so. when i try to install the newest updates(one at a time 10.4.1-10.4.5) onto that system it starts to check the configurations and then suddenly says the installation failed/had errors and to try again. i assume that the packages are ok as they are the ones i borrowed from my father (since i was unable to download myself due to graphics card driver issues) to update my main comp and that worked fine.
    i have at this point disconnected my external drive(temporarrily) as i suspect this contributes to the problem(not sure yet) but i would like to fix the problem not just avoid it.
    i wouldnt have any problem wiping the system off of my external and just using it as storage again but i am not sure how to safely do that without losing my other files (i have over 19thousand music files(all legally bought tunes) stored there from loading my cd collection onto my comp. and not enuf room on my main comp to store them of course) i wonder if perhaps creating a file OUTSIDE they system for the music files should keep them safe? also how do i UNINSTALL a system? i have never done such a thing. or is there a better solution to update the system on my external?
    thank you in advance for any advice you may have for me. and again thanks for the advice listed in the previous posts...i will definitly delve further into that.

  • 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.

    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.

Maybe you are looking for
