    If you have any advice on how to fix it that would be greatly apriciated. I'm taking it to bestbuy tomorrow if the problem prosists

    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.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • HT2368 Hello, I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware, need help. Thanks

    Hello,
    I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.5
    Need your help.
    Thanks

    Also, according the the 1.4 update page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL974
    It will update the Boot ROM version (on MB 5,1) to MB51.007D.003.
    Yet I have (MB 5,1) Boot ROM version MB51.007D.B03. Weird again!
    What a mess Apple. Considering how important firmware updates are you'd think they could make this a little clearer.
    Anyways, again, I don't think we need it.

  • My macbook pro is stuck on grey screen with apple symbol in center with the progress circle under it continusly spinning. After I had turned it on. Prior to turning it on I had to force close and shut down a few hours prior. Please Help?

    Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
    In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
    Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
    First: Shut down your computer completely
    Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
    Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
    If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
    If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
    Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
    All the best.

  • Just got a used airport base station. Set it up and getting wif signal. when I try to hook up on a computer it asks for a security key. where can I locate key?

    just got a used airport base station. Set it up and getting wif signal. when I try to hook up on a computer it asks for a security key. where can I locate key?

    If you mean the hexidecimal equivalent of the alphanumeric password, then you can find this via the AirPort Utility, as follows:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
    On the AirPort Utility's menubar select Base Station > Equivalent Network Password

  • Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click  Applyand test.
    If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

  • Detecting airport card in MacBook Pro unibody Mid 2009

    I own Mid 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody. Airport was working fine, but now says No Airport card installed. Curious how I can check harware is present(no loose card). I saw other software related suggestions but did not resolve.
    Shouldnt the airport card be listed under System Profiler --> Hardware ?
    I see Airport under System Profiler --> Network, but only  Software version details are present.
    Many Thanks!

    I have a 15.4" 2.66GHz Mid 2009 MBP on 10.6.1 and I am having a similar problem. I honestly do not recall having the issue before installing Snow Leopard. The problem I have is it seems whenever it first wakes from sleep I can instantly use the keyboard and enter my password to unlock it but the touchpad is almost completely unresponsive for the first 5 - 10 seconds then it starts responding some, but like was mentioned if I swipe with 2 fingers it seems to respond as it should with just 1 finger. After approx 1 minute or so it seems to fully wake up and then my touchpad works normally from then on. So it seems to only happen when first waking from sleep.
