MB 7,1 Mid2010 corrupt nvram

Hi,
i have a bunch of MB7,1 mid 2010 Macbook with problems
Slow start, integrated keyboard and touchpad not responding until 10 minutes after boot.
from network access in system.log appears "cfgethostuuidstring unable to determine uuid for host. error 35"
Seems that reseting nvram and smc should recover them but ...
They have efi password, but i'm unable to change/clean since nvram command said "nvram not working on this platform".
I can't reset NVRAM using keyboard since is password protected.
Boot from install media and using Firmware password util is not working either.
Any magical recipe i can try before sending them to tech support.
Thanks

I lost 4 hours of work.
You can help make sure that never happens again.

  • Corrupt NVRAM - Possibly????

    Hi,
    I have a really funny problem with my iMac 21" Intel Core 2 Duo.
    It boots really slowly and when it reaches that login screen it has a kind of blue hue faded look. The keyboard and mouse clicks are unresponsive but the mouse cursor moves. I can ARD to the machine and the remote keyboard and mouse work fine. However the machine is slow.
    I have tried to rest the NVRAM but I have the firmware password enabled so the keyboard shortcut is not working.
    NVRAM terminal command errors with the command not supported on this system. This is odd is it works fine on the other machines I have which are identical models.
    I have booted to the installation disc and used the firmware password utility but it doesnt remove the password. I have tried altering the RAM but again it doesnt remove the password.
    I have booted to a known good OS via target disc mode and all problems still exist. I have tested the keyboard and mouse and they are OK.
    I'm sure this is just an NVRAM prob but is there another way to reset it.
    Thanks

    Solved.
    I just started taking out RAM and replacing it until it eventually removed the EFI password (had to try both modules a few times each before it work).
    Zapped the PRAM and hey presto all is working sweet.

  • MSFC boot NVRAM error

    Hi, after reloading a Catalyst 6009, MSFC2 boots in ROMmon. I've tried to boot the image from rommon but i receive the following message:
    "Environment checksum in NVRAM failed.
    Bus Error exception"
    What does it mean?
    What can i do?
    does it look a hardware or software error?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    This looks like a corrupted nvram,  I'm afraid there is little you can do from rommon. In your case it seems that it can't even read the environment variable and the device won't boot without it. I agree that usually this is highlighting a bad hardware, see TAC Case collection (unfortunately you won't have access to IOS CLI as suggested there):

  • MBP Mid2010 with kernel panics, passed video tests

    I have a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro that I tried to upgrade to OSX 10.8 in the fall of 2012, but the system was very unstable with kernel panics. I took it to the Apple store and they couldn't find anything wrong, so I reverted back to 10.6. I attempted again to upgrade to 10.8 in Feb and this time the install proved stable. Things ran great until 10.8.4 was pushed and the system has been unstable since. I heard of the issue with the graphics switching and took it to an Apple store again to have it tested, but the machine passed the video test. It was recommended that I try to do a clean install of the OS and see if a particular piece of software was causing the issue. I complied and completely wiped the drive and installed 10.8.4 fresh, but I had kernel panics within a few minutes after the system was installed. I have had over 80 KP in the last month and have no idea what direction to go. I have run Rember memory scan, which returned no issues with the memory.  Any help would be appreciated.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
    The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    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 know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • What is WRONG with my MAC G5?

    Hi all,
    I've posted several times in various forums about a number of problems I've been having that remain unresolved, and would like to appeal once more for help. I have a 6 year old 2GHz PowerPC G5 (2004) with 4GB of RAM, running FCS 6.0.6 and OS 10.5.8. I must reiterate that, despite the computer's age, it was working just fine until a kernel panic in December that has since left the computer feeling sluggish. I've performed a clean install (twice) of both the OS and FCS. I've bought new RAM and reseated in every possible way. I bought a new external harddrive (used to store my media) in case that was the culprit. I even took the computer and display into an Apple Store where they tested it for 2 days finding "nothing wrong with it". Yet even they couldn't get the "High" quality setting back in FCP. It defaults to medium now (unlike before) - which is my biggest concern. The computer's internal drive has 30% free space. The external more than 15%. And naturally, I've repaired permissions and trashed pref files, etc., with no results. Oh! And I've run the Hardware Diagnostics disk, three times, and everything keeps passing. I also just cloned the internal Maxtor drive onto an external Lacie drive and booted up from that - with no obvious improvement. Trying to eliminate the hard drive as a factor.
    One more symptom -- perhaps related, perhaps not -- is that I can no longer put the computer to sleep without it crashing, followed by jet engine fans coming on. This happens every single time. Unfortunately it wasn't happening (as frequently) when I took the computer to the Apple geniuses.
    And last week, when I turned the computer on, the screen remained black. The LED flashed in what I think was a series of three fast flashes. I rebooted and everything has been fine since (with the display).
    I think I've found some suspicious items in the console logs. But I don't have a clue how to accurately read them or fix the problem. Can someone please help me?
    The windowserver_last.log is full of the following:
    May 21 10:57:47 52 kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGXGetWindowWorkspace: invalid window id: a2
    May 21 10:58:33 52 kCGErrorFailure: CGXDisableUpdate: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "Final Cut Pro" for over 1 second. Server has re-enabled them.

    May 21 11:03:52 52 kCGErrorFailure: CGXDisableUpdate: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "Final Cut Pro" for over 1 second. Server has re-enabled them.
    Then there's these ones that keep popping up in the console or system logs:
    24/05/10 1:47:43 PM /Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Pro115 _RemoveTimeTask(), the current time manager task 0x416c943c being removed is also currently executing its tmAddr routine, so unexpected things may result ( Radar #4555679 ).

    (the startdelayed... is probably due to dropped frames during capture with stop/start detection on)
    These ones are less frequent, but still showing up:

    I don't have a clue how to read Power Fractal (suggested to someone else in another post), but here's my score:
    Elapsed time: 1.6 seconds
    Achieving 6261.1 Megaflops
    Color Speed: 10
    Maximum Count: 4096
    One more thing I gleaned from another post are similar istat readings that seemed unusual to that person. Backside fans: 51rpm. ???

    First thing I would do is make your post clear(-er) (I find it easier to break things down into one item per paragraph or into lists); and what HARDWARE tests and steps you have tried - that we tend to repeat over and over with system failures.
    I've posted several times in various forums about a number of problems I've been having that remain unresolved,
    *I have a 6 year old 2GHz PowerPC G5 (2004) with 4GB of RAM, running FCS 6.0.6 and OS 10.5.8.*
    I must reiterate that, despite the computer's age...
    +*it was working just fine until a kernel panic in December that has since left the computer feeling sluggish.*+
    +I've performed a clean install (twice) of both the OS and FCS.+
    +I've bought new RAM and reseated in every possible way.+
    +I bought a new external hard drive (used to store my media) in case that was the culprit.+
    +I even took the computer and display into an Apple Store where they tested it for 2 days finding "nothing wrong with it". Yet even they couldn't get the "High" quality setting back in FCP. It defaults to medium now (unlike before) - which is my biggest concern.+
    +The computer's internal drive has 30% free space.+
    +The external more than 15%.+ 15% is still low and can be highly fragmented, but not germaine to hardware problems.
    +I've run the Hardware Diagnostics disk, three times, and everything keeps passing.+
    +I also just cloned the internal Maxtor drive onto an external Lacie drive and booted up from that - with no obvious improvement.+
    +Trying to eliminate the hard drive as a factor.+
    I'd even say LaCie might just be one more layer of possible problems.
    There are FAQs on kernel panics which:
    A/ Been there, done that?
    B/ Do they need to be listed (again)? revisited?
    C/ panics are hardware almost always, RAM, controllers, sometimes drivers, even corrupt NVRAM
    Does it boot into Open Firmware?
    If yes, redo reset-nvram
    If no, DOA
    G5 Logicboards:
    http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Power-Mac-G5-Logic-Boards-c-24553701074.html
    Power Mac G5 PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz M9032LL/A, A1047 1969C
    NOTE: Power Mac G5 Thermal Calibration Service It is vital for all Power Mac G5 to run thermal calibration after fitting a new logic board or processors, without it, Temperature Control will not be able to detect the system temperture correctly. As a result, it could cause the cooling fans to run at high speed, eventually damgaging the logic board or processors.
    Lastly, I would never run a Mac w/o UPS, which can lengthen life and protect equipment and even the PSU.
    And for $1500 the iMac Apple Store Specials can be a good fast alternative to G5.

  • Macbook Pro 2012 Kernel Panic

    During graphic intensive applications(gaming, netflix, etc), my macbook pro will randomly hard freeze(sometimes it's after a few minutes and other times several hours). I can't access any other applications during this, and I can't force quit using the shortcut. The only thing I can do is press the power button and turn it off. Somtimes I can move my mouse, and sometimes I can't. When I can, it is the colorful pinwheel.
    I disabled automatic graphics switching, and that did not help. I then ran a hardware test, and it was hanging on the memory portion of the test. I took my mac to the apple store two weeks ago with this problem, and they thought it was a memory problem and replaced my memory (sidenote: I had taken my apple back for repairs in last October because of kernel panics. They replaced my hardrive, logicboard, and my memory, but they only put back in 4GB when I originally upgraded to 8GB).  They upgraded my memory to the 8GB again with the replacement, and it seemed fine. I was using it without problems, but now my mac is having problems again.
    Random freezes where I have to forcibly shut off my mac happen a couple times a day, and now I'm starting to get kernel panics. The kernel panics both involved the NVDAResman and Geforce in the extension backtrace. (I've had two kernel panics the past two days). It's also a lot slower starting up, and sometimes it freezes during the startup with the mac icon and the gray backdrop or the login screen forcing me to restart.
    I ran the hardware test again out of curiosity, and it's still hanging at the memory portion of the test. I'm a little at a loss as to what to do.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
    The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    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 know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If it's happened only once, and is not repeated in at least a few thousand hours of use, a reasonable choice would be to ignore it. Machines don't work perfectly. They never will.
    If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You can rule out the first two possibilities by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it as directed in this support article.
    If you've recently upgraded the memory, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts on the memory modules when handling them. If necessary, clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol.
    The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    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 know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Why does my MBP restart itself randomly several times a day? Something about a "Panic Report".

    Ok so my MacBook Pro shuts itself down and restarts at least 4 times a day. Usually this happens when im away from my computer and its been idle or sleeping or whatever it does, however just 30 minutes ago this happened while i was using it and then it wouldnt restart it just kept showing the loading "apple" logo with loading bars comntinuously spinning... I had to shut it down manually and then it took an extra long time to load before finally loading to the user login page. Now generally... upon start up after this "panic" i will recieve a"Panic report" that says something aloong the lines of...

    What the HECK is happening and whats causing this???? How do i fix it?

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
    The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    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 know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • How come my Macbook Air 11inch mid 2013 is running very slow?

    I recently bought it new, then couple months later, the fan would play very loudly, and everything went slow and laggy. I checked activity monitor and it says kernel_task is taking up a lot. Please let me know if there are any ways to make my macbook run back to normal, thank you!

    The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
    Throttling
    When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
    ☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
    ☞ high ambient temperature
    ☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
    ☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
    Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
    If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
    Installed software
    User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
    Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
    Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
    External display
    Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

  • Your Computer was restarted because of a problem

    Hi, I got a Macbook pro last year and it was working fine until a few months back the model is an old A1150 and I am getting this problem. Everytime I turn on the computer it restart by itself after that it works fine and I get this error.
    I have replace my HD and installed the new OS X wich resolve the problem but its back again.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model.
    The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    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 know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
    Throttling
    When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
    ☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
    ☞ high ambient temperature
    ☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
    ☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
    Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
    If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
    Installed software
    User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
    Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
    Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
    External display
    Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

  • Random, Sudden Shutdowns - A redux and other things to rule out first

    Do a google search for "macbook random shutdown" and you'll find many people with similar problems reporting on various forums. At present, this issue has not been picked up by the mainstream PC news media. However, one should also note that only a fraction of those with problems are suffering this particular fault. A large number of other reasons must be ruled out before a MacBook owner should become convinced their machine is one which suffers this problem. Bad RAM, poorly seated RAM, improperly installed hard drive, corrupted OS, corrupted plists, bad batteries, bad chargers, corrupted PMU, and corrupted NVRAM all need to be ruled out first!
    My own MacBook suffered the random sudden shutdown malady and eventually required complete replacement after a logic board replacement did not solve the issue. Some of the MacBooks appear to have a hardware problem which surfaces after a period of use. Many reported their problems starting after a month of ownership. Coincidentally, that also coincided with the release of 10.4.7, but most likely that is not at the root of the sudden, random, shutdown problem.
    (However, 10.4.7 is strongly implicated in a separate MacBook problem - colored vertical lines during boot on some machines. That is probably a separate issue.)
    Description of the Random, Sudden Shutdown Problem
    MacBook suddenly shuts off to a completely powered down state seemingly at random. There are no kernel panic, mouse freezing, or other premonitory symptoms. The machine simply powers down suddenly. The screen goes black. The hard drive spins down and no sleep light illuminates. The machine simply turns itself off.
    The shutdowns may occur on either battery or with AC adapter attached. Some owners report their MacBook is less prone to sudden shut down while on battery vs AC adapter. My own afflicted MacBook would suddenly shutdown on a fully charged battery or on either of two AC adapters.
    The shutdowns occur with either 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 OS loaded. I went through several cycles of clean installs of the base 10.4.6 and the Intel Combo update to 10.4.7 before it became clear that it mattered not which OS was running. Another indicator that this is not an OS issue is that sudden shutdowns can occur in target mode and also when running just the Apple Hardware Test - which relies on minimal software to operate.
    The shutdowns tend to grow more frequent once they begin. They may worsen to the point that a machine will not complete boot up before shutting down. It may take several power up presses to start the machine. Oddly enough, a machine that had difficulty starting up, may be easy to start up several minutes later. It may run for hours or minutes before another sudden shutdown. The frequency is low and random enough that is very difficult to demonstrate this fault to a service technician.
    Some users are able to induce a sudden shutdown by running their CPU's at high load and thus heating up the machine. This is easily done by running the yes command in two Terminal windows. Some users report their MacBook is more prone to sudden shutdowns when their CPU is relatively cool. The bipolar reporting is confusing. There may be more than one type of sudden shutdown being reported. One due to CPU overheating and another due to another hardware problem which has yet to be elucidated.
    Resetting of the PMU and PRAM MAY temporarily reduce the frequency of the sudden shutdowns, but the effect is temporary. Indeed, the effect may not even be real given the randomness of the shutdowns. None-the-less, one must perform PMU and PRAM resets to ensure that some corruption of those devices is not creating a reason for shutdowns. On my own MacBook, resetting PMU and PRAM (four chimes) did not prevent the random sudden shutdowns.
    The sudden shutdowns occur with well seated stock RAM, replacement RAM, and reseated/replaced hard drives. Swapping out and testing both RAM and hard drive helps to eliminate those as the source of the problem. On my own machine, I exchanged the RAM and the hard drive to eliminate them as the cause. This made it considerably easier for the Apple genius to decide it was an internal problem.
    In my case, a logic board replacement did indeed solve the fault, but several days later, sudden shutdowns began again. Presumably either the replacement board has the same weakness as the original or some other component of the machine was the actual reason for the sudden shutdowns. The former is quite likely because the machine was made stable for several days with a new logic board. At that point, I requested to be swapped to a new machine and the Apple Store manager wisely decided to help out his customer. For that I am most grateful. However, it is unlikely that the majority of people will have their machines swapped out, but instead repaired.
    At this time, no official statement regarding cause for or acknowledgment of the MacBook's sudden random shutdown problem has been made. Because the underlying cause has not been revealed, it is impossible to know that a logic board replacement will permanently solve the problem or merely result in the same fault recurring later on the replacement board. Of course, we do not know if it actually is a logic board flaw.
    My advice to MacBook owners whose machines develop the sudden random shutdown symptoms are to...
    1. Get your data backed up immediately. The machine will likely suffer more and more frequent shutdown events.
    2. Revert to stock RAM and hard drive if you have installed after-market replacements. You must do this and see if the shutdowns continue to occur. Otherwise, the first thing blamed will be your RAM and hard drive.
    3a. Perform a PMU reset, by shutting down the MacBook. Removing the battery. Disconnect the AC Adapter. Then, press the power button for five seconds. The reinstall the battery and mains adapter. Restart the machine.
    3b. Reset PRAM by holding option-command-P-R keys down during startup until you hear the chime at least three or four times.
    Resetting the PMU and PRAM are standard procedures you'll otherwise be asked to perform to diagnose your machine.
    4. Do a CLEAN install of the OSX if you wish to totally eliminate a bad OS install as the problem. This will destroy all your data. Alternatively, an archive and install will be helpful without totally destroying your data, but that will not let you exonerate your system files and settings. An alternative is to run Apple's hardware test utility which is found on your OS installation disc. However, an extended hardware test is needed because the shutdown flaw may take hours to surface.
    Note: If your MacBook has become so "narcoleptic" that it cannot even complete a boot up sequence, try holding the power button down until you hear a loud beep. That may allow an otherwise balky machine to start.
    Once you have done the above, and are still seeing random sudden shutdowns, you have largely done the preliminary footwork that you'll need to prove whether your MacBook has this particular problem and not something more common. Then, call AppleCare or visit your Apple Genius to have the machine repaired or replaced. Hopefully, the root cause of this problem will be discovered, disclosed, repaired and prevented. For now, it appears only a fraction of the MacBooks are suffering this fault, but the machine population is still young. Overall, the MacBook is perhaps the finest laptop I've bought from Apple. It will be nice to trust the machine to not lose my work.
    BTW - resetting PMU may induce a separate 10.4.7 related bug which results in your MacBook exhibiting a white screen with progressively more numerous vertical color lines during startup. This appears to be fixable by resetting PRAM and then temporarily changing display resolution to something other than the current setting and then back.

    thanks for the comprehensive info. i experienced this for the first time today. i bought my macbook the day they were released. the shutdown happenned for me after leaving my computer on overnight with no programs running. about two minutes into web browsing it shutdown. it then shutdown in the middle of restarts. i disattached power cord, external hard drive, dvd burner & ethernet & it powered up and has been working for about 20 minutes since.
    this computer has really been a lemon. first my superdrive scratches the **** (just previewed this, i can't believe they sensor the h_ word?) out of discs, then the trackpad button becomes very hard to push. i've been working around those issues using an external dvd burner and mouse, but not sure how to work around sudden shutdowns. i haven't been able to send it in for repairs yet since i bought it cause i needed it's dvd authoring capabilities for a class i was taking, plus i wanted to make sure nothing else went wrong (self fulfilling prophecy?). i was planning on taking it on vacation with me, but guess i better pack my old ibook too (which other than a cd burner which sucked from the start, has been very reliable). i'll send in my macbook when i get back.

  • Kernel_task running above 500% CPU load on my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9.4

    I recently upgrade my Macbook Pro to OSX 9.0.4 and the system is running sluggishly slow, Activity Monitor showing kernel_task always running above 500% CPU load, system fan always running loud at startup but laptop is not overheating.  Below is the EtreCheck report, hoping if anyone can help me fix this issue, much appreciate it.  Btw, I have done the SMC reset, but nothing has helped.

    The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
    Throttling
    When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or a low-voltage reading from the battery, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
    ☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
    ☞ high ambient temperature
    ☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
    ☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
    Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
    If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on battery power, the fault is in the battery or the logic board. If it happens only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That may be normal on some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
    Installed software
    User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
    Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
    Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
    External display
    Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

  • Line through a circle symbol, can't find a way around it! Help please!

    On start up of my MDD G4 I am getting a no entry symbol, a circle with a line through it.
    To give the full background of events, 2 evenings ago the Mac froze up for no reason, at the point I think where the screensaver would’ve activated due to inactivity. There was only mail and firefox running at the time, no videos or anything – this error, or at least the freezing of the Mac (no movement even from the mouse) repeated itself later on that night and yesterday evening as well, although the next evening the Mac wasn’t on long enough for the screensaver to start up. On those occasions the Mac restarted fine. Last night however I got the circle symbol but was able to hold down option key and select my previous drive to start up with, I ran Diskwarrior and it found a few faults with my main larger drive and repaired them and the Mac restarted with the larger drive as it’s startup drive absolutely fine. I put the Mac to sleep last thing at night, however this morning it failed to wake – note that the power lights on the Mac and Apple Monitor were glowing and fading fine as they should.
    When I restarted the Mac via the power button on the Mac it started up fine, I had the Mac symbol with the spinning icon (not sure how you describe it!) as normal, however the fans then slowed down as did the hard drive noise and that’s when the circle with the line through symbol appeared.
    So far I have tried disconnecting all peripherals from the Mac, resetting the PRAM, resetting the CUDA switch on the motherboard, starting up holding X and starting up from my Diskwarrior CD – unfortunately even the startup using the Diskwarrior CD fails to bring up a desktop of any sort and instead brings up the circle with a line through it.
    Can anyone shed anymore light on potential problems or more importantly solutions as I’m tearing my hair out on this one!!
    As further info, there are 2 other additional hard drives in my G4, one of which was my main startup drive for around the last year (a 500Gb drive connected via PCI card), which has worked flawlessly until now. I have tried starting up with this drive disconnected but to no avail.
    One more piece of information which may help is that if I hold down the option key at startup the Mac does see both OSX system on my original and additional hard drives (and Diskwarrior CD if inserted) – however no matter which one I select it goes no further than the line through a circle symbol.
    Many virtual drinks for anyone who can solve this!!!!!!!

    One of the Level 4's, the Hatter (I hope he stops by personally) gave me the following insight:
    The hatter wrote:
    A really badly corrupt directory can prevent booting from any drive or media, because they all look to see what other boot volumes are out there.
    With G4/5's the best way to clear corrupt nvram was to boot into Open Firmware and reset nvram and a good idea to do when swapping drives, memory, PCI cards.
    Try booting after removing or unplugging the hard drive. May need to pull it and put in FW case to recover anything.
    So what could have happened when you crashed is that there was disk damage, probably to the disk directory. If that happened say to a single HD, then according to the Hatter, you won't be able to boot from any drive since there's a kind of checking to see what other drives are boot volumes out. That check could be failing in your case because of the directory corruption.
    You have two HDs in your MDD, so either one or both could have suffered directory corruption.
    If I understood one of your posts, you disconnected the SATA drive, and still saw problems. If so, perhaps your old HD suffered corruption.
    So you might try disconnecting the old drive -- be sure to disconnect the data cable because your Mac will can cause fits if the data cable is connected to an unpowered HD. Then try to boot from the Install CD or even Diskwarrior. I'm pretty sure you can boot from the optical drive even if there aren't any HDs.
    If you can boot from CD with no HDs, then we've got it narrowed down to directory corruption. Thereafter, you might see if you attach only the SATA if you can boot to diagnose the just that drive. If you can, that's great because it would mean your backup HD suffered the damage and not your main drive.
    As indicated by the Hatter, if you've got damage to the SATA, it may mean your best chance is to connect it externally. That way you can boot, thereafter connect and diagnose.

    All updates are installed and I would appreciate some help please.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
    The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    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 know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
