Mac mini freezes regularly - log file enclosed - what do I need to do?

Hi,
My mini crashes every couple of days - and has to be rebooted. I've been updating the OS and software regularly but it continues to freeze and has to be rebooted each time. I'm enclosing a typical log file from a crash. Any help / insight about what to do to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jay

  • Mac Mini freezes during log out

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Mac Mini among many other MACs, all running 10.5.8. It has two accounts: an Admin and a user one.
    A couple of weeks ago, I encountered a quite disturbing _freeze on this machine only_: each time I try to logout from the user account, the desktop disappears, followed with a blue screen and a rotating dial; after a while the rotating dial stops and the computer freezes. The only workaround so far is to hard reboot the Mac.
    I run Onyx 2.0.5 systematically; nothing seems to be wrong.
    I have carried out such a logout every week for maintenance purposes, since the machine was bought early 2008; I never faced this problem until recently. I did not install any additional software in the meantime, although I keep the existing ones up-to-date. Also note that the user account does not freeze if I just turn the Mac Mini off from the menu bar.
    Any ideas welcome, before I consider rebuilding the whole system.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    To whom it may concern, I finally fixed the problem.
    I use a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse on the Mac Mini. It seems that the Logitech Control Center 3.1 interacts poorly with Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    Now that I have disabled LCCDaemon in the start-up items of all users, I can logout from any session seamlessly. In addition, it appears that login is faster than before.
    I hope that it helps someone else!

  • Mac Mini First time... What do i need?

    Hi everyone,
    i just bought a Mac Mini Server for my small company with a bunch of IMACS (5 to be exact). We were before on Windows Server 2000 with all pc's. A **** of a difference with the Mac's. The Macs were very easy to connect to the Window Server 2000 and until now everything seem to work BUT it's now time to concentrate on the installation of the Mac Mini Server...
    We used to have the Modem for internet + a router with cables for each machine to connect to the server... *Is the Linksys router that i have still necessary with the MAC MINI to connect all the machines to the server or is it WIRELESS????*
    *If one of the IMACS client is about 100 feet away (in the warehouse) would it be able to connect to the Mac Mini Server wireless or do i have to connect it via Cable?*
    Also, anybody has any suggestion to give me on how to set up these 5 client machines?
    Thank you
    William

    Welcome to  Discussions!
    You should be able to connect computer to computer wirelessly, but that's called an 'ad hoc' network and probably not your best way to run your network. You should still use some sort of a router, and you could use a wireless router.
    However...
    A wireless network will never, ever be as secure as a wired network. Every form of wireless network security has had an exploit of some sort discovered for it so far. A wire you've run won't suffer a 'man in the middle' attack. It also won't lose connectivity because of an errant device in the same wireless band. with a modem and a router, you have one point of penetration to guard. Don't give up the wires over the dazzle appeal of a wireless network. Any critical or sensitive data should be sent over wires.

  • Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?

    Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?

    Thanks for getting back so quickly. But, it worked. I did what you said and now it works doing a normal boot to in both Windows and Mac. I wonder what went wrong, as both operating systems didn't boot (I tried numerous times).
    Anyway, thanks.

  • Mac mini freezes and then screen fragments

    Our Mac Mini freezes up constantly. Some days it happens after a few minutes of running and other times after a few hors. After the computer freezes, the screen fragments. We seem to have enough memory and so not certain what the problem could be.

    Hi AKS,
    Maybe you have got a temperature problem affected Mac Mini as our Mac Mini Server. You can read about it here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/13242219#13242219
    Such problems sometimes gets worse by time so I suggest you should run the EFI test and then contact Apple service before running out of guarantee.
    Good luck!

    How do I enable TDM?
    Make sure both computers are turned on and awake. 
    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
    Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.
    How do I exit TDM?
    To leave TDM, press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac that is in TDM. You can also exit TDM if you shutdown or sleep either computer or detach the cable.
    Can I use a third-party keyboard or older Apple keyboard to enable TDM?
    Some older Apple keyboards and keyboards not made by Apple may not allow Command-F2 to toggle display modes. You should use an aluminum wired or wireless Apple keyboard to toggle TDM on and

    Did you ever find a resolutution to your issue? I have a similar issue after installing Mavericks where the Arris modem goes to sleep when my iMac does, even though other devices on the network are actively requesting data. For the time being, as long as the iMac doesn't sleep the network is fine.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    If I understand correctly, you've converted a file and now want to download it and remove it from your Acrobat.com account. Is that correct? What happens when you try to download it from https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you get an error?
    Once you've downloaded it, you can delete it from your account by selecting it and clicking the trash can icon.

  • I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 what do I need to do to upgrade to the latest version of software??

    I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 what do I need to do to upgrade to the latest version of software??

    Depends what MacBook version you have.
    Go to  > About This Mac > More Info > hardware overview (should open at that usually).
    Check the model identifier (MacBook4.1 or similar)
    Check Processer Name
    Processer speed
    Memory
    Specs for Snow Leopard (10.6.x)
    And for Lion (10.7.x);
    Note that the memory quoted in those specs is absolute minimum for each OS - 106 really needs at least 2GB and Lion 4GB

  • What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    10.5.8 is the last free update available for your system. If you wish to upgrade to newer versions of Mac OS X, you will first need to purchase and install a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available.
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, you then will have the option to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, if you wish to do so and your system will support it.
    Regards.

  • I have a Mac BookPro 0S X 10.6.8 what do I need to upgrade

    I have a Mac BookPro 0S X 10.6.8 what do I need to do so Im ready for when the new Mountain Lion comes out this summer? Do I need lion first if so what one?   I have always used a PC so if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it..

    Far as anyone knows, some 64 bit Mac's will be excluded as not having enough graphics muscle to handle Mountain Lion.
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/02/whats-keeping-mountain-lion-off-of-som e-64-bit-macs.ars
    If your on 10.6.8, my advice is to stay there, you have the maximum range of available software for that OS X version and all third party hardware, games and utilites etc., are still working fine for that OS version.
    Right now some developers are transgressing to 10.7 Lion, many have started or not going to at all,
    A lot just got blindsided with the 10.8 announcement as Lion has only been out several months.
    You can see right here what I'm talking about, still a mixed bag with 10.7.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Actually you don't need to upgrade to 10.7, if something messes up on your machine your left on your own or have to call in a profe$$ional to rescue you.
    There is no "must have" on Lion 10.7 really for most users to justsify the risk upgrading and many feel the drastic changes are unrealistic, it's just Apple pushing the envelope and changing the OS just for the heck of it to sell new hardware.
    10.6 is the fastest, best OS X version Apple has ever made. Plus third party software is plentiful.
    Until the same conditions exist again, I don't advise buying a new machine or OS upgrade until it does in your case.
