Kernel Panik Issues + TextEdit recurrent bug (autorization is refused/can't open textedit docs)

Hello all,
I'm on a MacBookPro, OSX MOuntain Lion 10.8.5, ca. 18 months young/old, and the computer has had ongoing issues ..actually since day 1....
(It's been bought in france because of the need of an "azerty", i live in germany - i write here in english for the sake of getting as much possible readers and increase my chance of answers..)
None of the 2 returns to apple store or official repair stores have fixed them. It seems to be "software issues", so they say..The problem is, no one is helping to help me fix them : after a little while of speudo improvement, the issues came right back.. (The last repair try was shortly before the end of 1 year apple warranty.. : it didn't change sh**,  and although i had 90 days warranty on that repair from the date of repair on, apple never EVER replied to my 8 or 10 emails..probably considering i had no right to get help anylonger, nor at least the decency of a response at all..)
Anyhow, here are the problems :
computer is generally pretty slow
shockwave crashes on Google Chrome (although there is no double with flash player in the plug ins - i checked)
Pages on ANY browser take sometimes up to 40 sec to load (using safari and chrome, rarely firefox)
As soon as not ON a tab left open on browser, the page is first completely WHITE (takes up to 30sec for content to appear)
Safari "forces the refreshment of all page and tabs open" at least once, sometimes 5 times a day
Computer freezes sometimes completely
..and crashes down completely, sometimes so hard that i can't even shut down properly (exit through the "physical" start button as only chance)
Computer sometimes freezes but by making a restart on his own : screen beomes blue, gray, everything dissapears, big start button symbol appears on screen with message in several languages and computer restarts on his own..
Rainbow ball spinning became my best worst friend..
Even Force-Quitting programs can take 2 to 4 min until the force quit window appears...
Computer generates aliases or copies (?) of documents, that can't be open anyway, adding things in the name of doc such as "NAME.rtf.sb-0352fd77-9bU6Yb"
Mac sofwares (and NO other!) crash or freeze on regular basis (such as : textedit, safari, iphoto,  preview etc.)
Dashboard always takes 10 to 40 sec to make information/content appear
blablablaaa...(there is more...)
Note : i mostly only have those programs open at the same time : safari, chrome, itunes, text edit, and sometimes on top : iphoto, preview - So, nothing crazy here, for a machine that is kind of new...
I know so far what i must be dealing with probably is an ongoing KERNEL PANIK..and maybe more/other issues on top..
Fact is, knowing alone does not solve the problems....
..So I'm regularly making a check of the disc as well as repairing autorizations via "disk utilities"
such as starting with alt+command+ r+p which became kind of the only desperate thing i try to do on regular basis..(not really solving anything either..)
If anyone could help, on any of those issues, please, come forward!!!
(ps : and no, i don't want to switch to maverick...rEAlly not....^^ - in case that is you advice.. because reinstalling all the system has been done previously twice or three times and is USELESS!)
The issue that made me make this move to ask for help here though today, which i m presenting separatel, y is :
TextEdit shows a recurrent bug since a few weeks - all my search attempts on the web led to nothing (but basic help for people who don't know how to make a command+i and change the autorization to "read and write").
What happens is that out of the blue, TextEdit shows an error messages on ANY docs that i try to open, it says i don't have the autorization and tells me to go to "information" and change the autorizations.
Fact is, this is happening on ANY docs that i have, and changing something in the "information" window doesn't change anything at all.
The only thing that "helps", is to shut the computer down completely and restart..
But the issue reappears every second day...
Also, TextEdit refuses for me to make PDF's out of a document ; the error message says (in french, so this is a translation of mine) "PRINTING: the printing has failed" (and that's IT, no more info..)
Sometimes this pdf issue happens without the autorization issue ; but when i have the autorization issue, i seem to always have the pdf making issue.
Also, texedit sometimes does not allow me anymore to save a new doc..It might open the window to do so, i might be able to name the doc and click on "save", but the doc appears nowhere and still show "no title" on the open doc itself..
Help anyone ?
I'd be eeeeendlessly grateful..

  • The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

    A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last week

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

  • How can I open textedit documents using Word without the document looking like gobbledygook?

    Word documents from other computers open in Textedit on my macbook pro (10.6.8).  When I try to open them with Word -- by using "open with" or changing the preference in "get info" or just by dragging the file to the Word icon on my dashboard -- I get a window asking what I want to convert the file from.  No matter what I choose, the documents open as a jumble of symbols.  Is there any way to change this?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! 

    That's true, and that's what I've been doing, but I use dropbox to work on documents on different computers, and pasting things into new documents makes it more difficult to keep things organized.  I'm hoping there's a way to created a Word document on my macbook air, put it in my dropbox folder, and then open it as a Word document on my macbook pro.  Is that feasible?

    Firstly, I'd disconnect the USB Ethernet device you are using.  Secondly, I'd boot into safe mode to see if the panic is being caused by VM Fusion's extensions.

  • Microsoft Issues Fix for Bug in Malware Protection Engine

    Microsoft has issued an update to its core malware protection engine that fixes a bug that could allow an attacker to gain LocalSystem privileges on a vulnerable machine if a specific set of odd conditions exist.
    The vulnerability in the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine is a privilege-escalation bug, so an attacker would already need to be authenticated on the local system in order to exploit it, the company said.

    You can export the management pack via powershell.  That will "unseal" the MP.  You can then go hack around in it and fix what you want, then reseal it.  The only issue is that you will have to Delete the one that is in your management group
    before you import this hacked one and if there are any updates to this MP in the future, you will not be able to import the updated one without deleting the one you hacked.  Also, hacking a sealed mp and re importing it with your changes, might break
    any support contracts you have with MSFT.

  • New Kernel Panic Issue (Followed Your Advice)

    I posted a thread a few months back about a friend who is having a persistent kernel panic issue. Some of you got back to me with some consistent advice- boot off the install disk, run a diagnostic. I haven't seen the computer since, but recently my friend took a job and left his computer here for me to see if I can fix it.
    I popped the install disk in and started the computer holding the "d" key as instructed. I am getting something I have never seen- a constant repeating:
    "! OUCH !!! : mshdlr loc zero not zero ! 00007007000000000h @:eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh"
    This just repeats itself up the screen, over and over. Eventually, the hardware test box came up. I hit next, it started all over.
    This is a 20" Intel iMac running Tiger 4.11. HELP ***?!?!?!

    iCrane128:
    can this be because I am using my gray install disk from my 17' Intel iMac on his 20" Intel iMac?
    It can, indeed. Do you have the original disks for the computer you are testing?

  • TextEdit problems: causes spinning ball/freezes, can't make it default app

    I'm having some serious problems with, of all things, TextEdit. On an iMac running 10.4.11 with TextEdit v. 1.4 (the standard version for Tiger), I've been having the following two major issues:
    1. About once per day, or at least once every two days, for absolutely no perceivable reason, while typing in TextEdit, I get the "spinning beach ball"; the same pattern happens every time: I wait about 6 minutes for the beach ball to stop spinning, then I try to "save" my open document; this causes another six-minute spin/wait, after which it saves. Then I try to "Quit" Textedit, and after another six-minute spin, it finally quits. Then, any successive action on my part -- clicking an application icon in the dock, or doing command-option-escape to force quit things, or basically anything at all, causes the spinning ball to return, and this time it will not go away. I've waited as long as two hours, and it just keeps spinning. Command-option-escape does nothing -- no response. Nor does command-period, or anything I could think of. The only way out of the freeze is to press the power button and turn off the computer. Terrible!
    This ONLY happens when I am working in TextEdit -- no other application causes the problem. And it only happens when I have an unsaved TextEdit document topmost on the screen. It has happened at least 30 times now, consistently, so it's not a one-time glitch. It has even happened when TextEdit was the ONLY application running -- so it couldn't be another application causing the problem. I had thought that "Classic" was causing the problem, because I often have Classic running to use a legacy OS9 application, but even when I restarted the computer and did not ever launch Classic, I still got the TextEdit-freeze problem.
    2. None of my TextEdit documents have TextEdit as their default launch application. Yes, I know about single-clicking the file, pressing "command-I" and in the Info box changing the "Open With" application to "TextEdit," and also then clicking on "change all" so that all similar files are opened with the same application. When I attempt this, it apparently makes the change, but in fact nothing happens: even after making the change, double-clicking the files does not launch TextEdit. In fact, it launches nothing at all, because when I check command-I again, the launch application has reverted to either "None", or to something mysterious called "ams1108.html", which not only is not an application, but it doesn't even exist on my computer (I searched for it).
    HOWEVER, if TextEdit is already running, then when I double-click on any of my text documents, they will then open in TextEdit. But if TextEdit is not currently running, they won't open in it.
    This applies to any file that has a visible or hidden "txt" or "rtf" or other normal TextEdit-compatible extension. Basically, any text file.
    What is going on? I thought TextEdit was the most stable, most reliable application in all of Apple-dom. And I've been using it for years and years, but this problem has only recently started in the past couple months. I have no memory of making any changes to my computer that could have precipitated the change. Also: are these two problems related to each other?
    I really don't know what to do. Any suggestions for fixing this problem would be appreciated. (And no, I don't have the original 10.4 install disks, so I can't re-install TextEdit, unless it can be downloaded somewhere). Thanks.

    OK, Carolyn, I wrote down all my prefs (glad I did), trashed the prefs file, restarted, relaunched TextEdit, reset all my preferences to my liking (which had reverted to default settings), quit TextEdit. Then I tried double-clicking some text files -- and the same problem (#2 above) persists. None of my TextEdit or text files have TextEdit as the default launch application -- they're still all either "None" or "ams1108.html". And, as before, if I try to change it to "TextEdit" in the file's info box, then click on "change all," it does not work: not only does it not change all the text files to be TextEdit, but clicking "change all" will cause the file in question to revert to "None" or "ams1108.html". However, if I only change the default app for that one file to TextEdit, and don't click "change all," then it will stick -- for now at least. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if after a restart they all changed back to "None.")
    The short assessment is: trashing the prefs did NOT fix problem #2 above. It may or may not have fixed problem #1 -- hard to tell immediately, since the only way to find out is the use TextEdit for two days.
    So, setting aside problem #1 for now: any suggestions for fixing problem #2 (default app can't be changed to TextEdit by clicking "change all")? I have thousands and thousands of TextEdit files I use, so changing them all manually one-by-one isn't feasible. Thanks.

  • Error message on Satellite A200: Can't open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver

    Hi,
    I have Satellite A200 laptop
    When i start the windows(vista) I get the following error: *"Can't open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver.* " !!
    I've installed all drivers and the error remains.
    I've installed all the drivers from the Toshiba website , but the issue remains.
    Device manager shows me that every device is working properly.
    Has anyone got an solution?
    Thanks

    ACPI is the power management facility for your Windows Operating system. If this is failing you may have to run a system recovery on your computer. You can do this with the hidden partition on your hard drive, however this will erase all of the data on your machine. If this doesn't solve the problem, you may have to consider getting your hard drive checked for bad sectors as this may have failed.
    Hope this helps. :)

  • Bug: Logic 8 Can't open ANY of my pre L7 files

    I know this has been discussed before. For some people, opening pre-L7 files in Logic8 works fine. For others, it's a problem.
    But today I realized just how wide spread this situation is. Logic 8 will not open ANY of my pre L7 songs. NOT ONE.
    That's literally hundreds of songs and projects on my hard drive that I will have to load into L7 one at a time to 'translate' so that L8 can read them. I call this a BUG because it's directly the opposite of what the manual claims Logic 8 can do:
    "Opening Pre Version 8 Songs
    You can open Logic Pro 5, Logic Pro 6, and Logic Pro 7 songs in Logic Pro 8. When
    loading a song or project created in a pre-version 8 Logic variant, the format will be converted to the version 8 format. A Save As dialog will open, allowing you to save the project with a new name. The original version song will be retained."
    I'm only posting this in the hopes that all of you experiencing problems with older projects will please LEAVE FEEDBACK on this topic with Apple. I don't want to lose access to years worth of archived work, and there's no good reason why L8 should lose the file import ability it had in L7. I do have L7 on an older machine, so I can laboriously translate the files 1 at a time if I have to. But keeping L7 and L8 installed on the same machine is problematic. And it's crazy to have to do this at all, since it's a basic functionality L8 should have if Apple would only get around to fixing it.
    So please let Apple know if this matters to you. (Unless it doesn't and I'm the only one affected... just my luck).
    The weird thing is that the "Can't Open" dialog that comes up on my system specifies that the files can only be opened by "Logic 7.2.1 or earlier". Wonder what was so special about 7.2.1???
    ?

    Yup, and yup. I can run Logic 7 on my mac fine. And Logic 7 can import and play all my L5, 6, and of course 7 projects without a problem.
    But Logic 8 CAN'T.
    That's the problem. We're talking about literally hundreds of projects, and NOT ONE of them loads properly in Logic 8. Not a single one.
    Clearly something in my default template makes Logic 8 unhappy. Don't know if it's the number of busses I use (16) or the effects routing or... who knows? What I do know is that a) Logic 8 should be able to open legacy files if it is to deserve the name "Pro", and b) I definitely do not have the time to open several hundred files one at a time in L7 and resave them.
    And, even if I did resave all my version 5 and 6 projects in L7, the reality is they would still load improperly in L8 because of the revised bus/aux routing. When I open any of my L7 projects (which always ran just fine in L7), Logic 8's environment page gets completely messed up. The scroll bars stop working, making it impossible to see the channel you're working on.
    Yes, I've emailed Apple's black-hole-o-customer-support. The silence has been deafening in response. If I weren't so lazy and cheap I'd be on Pro Tools I guess... But I know Logic like the back of my hand and I have work to do. Problem is, I'm starting to hate Logic like the back of someone else's hand which keeps slapping me in the face.
    Ho and Hum.

  • Pages 5.0 can't open iCloud documents.  Has anybody run into this issue?

    Here's the story:
    I upgraded to Pages 5.0 and can't open .pages documents saved in icloud.
    It does not seem to be a file incompatibility.  I am creating files in Pages for Mac, saving them to iCloud.  They are immediately unable to re-open. 
    I only get a message saying:  The file “{file name}.pages” couldn’t be opened.
    Documents can be created without issue.  If they are saved to my local drive, I can open them again.
    Obviously, this makes it very difficult to use Pages with any other devices because document syncing is impossible.
    Details on my system:
    Mid-2010 13" Macbook pro
    2.4 Ghz core 2 duo
    8 GB ram
    OS X 10.9

    I was also experiencing same issues without being to open Older Pages Docs from iCloud in Pages 5.  I followed suneson Recommendation and process to the T...    Works perfectly. 
    Important to note you do have to do the second part in order for it to work completely.  I tested just the first half and still had issues.  Once Disabling and Re-enabling Documents and Clearing Cache - works perfectly now.  Thanks Suneson!
    Suneson process:
    Move all of your iCloud documents to a local folder (offline).
    Go to the iCloud preference pane i System Preferences.
    Click Manage... and delete all Pages data.
    The Next Step is required:
    Go back to iCloud preferences and uncheck "Documents & Data".
    Check it again.
    Delete ~/Library/Caches/--anything related to Pages or iWork--

  • HT203175 I have no problem signing on to iTunes my issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix it. Thanks

    I do not have a problem getting in the iTunes stores. My issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a pure virtual function call R6025. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to create a new account? Do I have to uninstall and re-install? Thanks

    Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate any input here.
    If someone from Adobe could GUARANTEE that this problem would go away if I
    purchased CS4, I would pony up the cash and do it. However, I'm skeptical
    about that because I just saw someone else post a message on the forum today
    who is running CS4 and getting the exact same runtime error as me.
    I'll try un-installing and re-installing as Admin, and if that doesn't work,
    maybe I can find a used copy of CS3.
    In the meantime, I'm also wondering if a Photoshop file can carry any sort
    of corrupt metadata inside it once it has errored out? Reason I ask is, I
    had to port all of my old PSD files to the new computer, and I only seem to
    be getting this error when I attempt to work on one of the files that
    previously got the runtime error when they were sitting on my XP machine.
    When I create new files from scratch on this new computer, they seem to be
    working just fine (at least, for now).
    If so, I would probably be smart to never open those troublesome
    "errored-out" files again.

    I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

    I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
    In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
    Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
    Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

    Barry

  • I can not open my Safari. It quits unexpectedly. The issue happens with a single user account. It does not happen to anyone else in my family. Please help.

    I can not open my Safari. It quits unexpectedly. The issue only happens to a single user account. It does not happen to anyone else in my family. Please help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

    I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

    Exactly what did you do?
    The correct steps are
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary
