Need help with Recurring Kernel Panic- [ WITH LOGS ]

For the past two weeks or so I have been getting a lot of Kernel Panics. Most of them happen when I select Restart or Shutdown. There have also been cases of Final Cut Pro crashing regularly, but I thnk the Kernel Panics are far more important to diagnose. I have not changes any hardware for at least a year. The machine has 4.5gb of RAM and 40% of the system drive free. I have run Disk Utility to repir the disk as well as the permissions, all coming back with no errors. The ONLY thing that I can think of that changed is that I purchased and ran Disk Warrior 4. It seemed to help tremendously with performance, however, it is the only thing that I can think of that has changed. I am also suffereing from some performance loss as well. I get at least one Kernel Panic a day. I have no idea what the KP mean, but they all look similar. I have posted the two latest ones below. Any help as to what might be causing this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I would be inclined to think you probably should re-install. The fact you said DW helped with performance indicates it found problems. My experience with OSX has been that mine has run pretty much perfectly for 3 years plus even though I tinker a lot and try out apps and have several dozen apps installed along with several haxies. It runs just as fast as it did when I first installed it as a fresh install. DW helps fix directory errors but it's not designed to do anything else. You could have bad blocks on the hard drive which could be causing the problem. I would erase using the zero data option and reinstall fresh. Ideally you would do this on a second partition or on another hard drive. If you only have one hard drive now is a good time to invest in another one so you can have a bootable backup for problem solving. Tom

  • Recurring Kernel Panic with Mountain Lion

    I have a recurring kernel panic on OSX 10.8.2 but I've been getting it since 10.7 with this mac. I've replaced the hard disk and stress tested the RAM for hours and have yet to find any problems.
    Thanks in advance for helping me to troubleshoot this.
    Here's the readout of the latest panic:

    You have a number of suspects but SoundFlower and Little Snitch would be my main suspects.

  • Help! Recurring kernel panic.

    I am getting a recurring kernel panic on my macbook pro running Mountain Lion, which happens on shut down. It is after an auto install of firmware for my wi fi router. Could it be a virus? Or someone getting into the router? How do I fix it? Thanks so much.

    This is not related to malware or hacking. Can you post your latest kernel panic log?

  • Help with recurring kernel panic

    Hello,
    I am a relatively new Mac user (past 8 months) and have had this MacBook Pro for the same amount of time. I am having a problem lately (w/in the last few months) where many different apps (Firefox, Parallels, Photoshop, Smultron, etc) that I run shut down intermittently and without warning. Also, now, several times a day, I will get a kernel panic. I am not sure what is causing this, and would appreciate any help you can offer. I thought this may have been caused by Parallels or Firefox, but I see this occur even when I don't use Parallels all day long.
    Here is the latest kernel panic:

    Hi, just to update what happened.
    I ran through a lot of suggestions listed by nerowolfe and just couldn't get it figured out.
    I went back finally and did another Apple Hardware test, this time using the one that comes on the Apple install disc. (Previously, the TechTool Deluxe one did not detect any problems.) The Apple Hardware test finally found a bad RAM stick, so I removed the first stick of RAM and rebooted. No problems since then, so I am replacing it (still under warranty) with another memory stick.
    Thanks for the links, and this is another example of the kernel panic being the cause of bad RAM. If nothing else, just do the obvious, remove one stick at a time, to see if that fixes the problem.

  • Need help deciphering a kernel panic report

    Last night, right after watching an iTunes movie, my mini had a kernel panic, the first ever. It was very hot to the touch.
    This is the model I have: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-core-2-duo-2.4-mid -2010-specs.html. It's standard except for the memory, which is maxed out at 16GB. It's running Snow Leopard and has never given me a moment of grief until last night.
    This is the report. Any help locating the source of the panic is appreciated:

    Hi, thanks for the suggestions. They are both reasonable. However, I would like some help deciphering the report to learn what actually happened --or as close to that as one can get.
    Thanks again.

  • I need help deciphering a kernel panic. Anyone? :)

    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Preferably both. You must be absolutely certain that you can restore everything to the state it's in now.
    Launch the Disk Utility application and select the icon of the internal drive (not the boot volume below it.) Check the SMART status of the drive in the lower part of the window. If it's anything other than "Verified," the drive has to be replaced.
    Otherwise, boot from your installation disc (if running Mac OS 10.6.8 or earlier) or from your recovery partition (if running Mac OS 10.7 or later; command-R at startup), and reinstall. After rebooting, run Software Update. Test. If the problem is gone, you're done.
    If the problem persists, boot from the installation disc, from a local Time Machine backup volume, or from another bootable device, launch Disk Utility, and partition – don't erase – the internal drive. This operation will destroy all data on the drive, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Create a single partition with the default options. Install the Mac OS again. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you import the data from one of your backups. For details on how this works, see here:

  • Need help identifying a kernel panic

    Hi all,
    I've been struggling with my iMac now for six months or so.  At the worst of things, I couldn't boot up in anything other than safe boot.  I did end up identifying a stick of 4gb Corsair ram as the culprit, but after pulling it I am still having freezing, just less frequent.
    Here is the most recent panic:

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Persisting kernel panics with mountain lion (clean install)

    hi, I could really have some help on recent kernel panics I am experiecing on my 2009 MacBook Pro with Mountain lion installed. Here and there I have been doing some reading but I am not a techy, most of it I do not understand.
    Last kernel panic occured while I was copying a large file (998mb) from network storage. Before a fresh install kernel panics happend literally any time and I could not pin point any reasons.. At the moment I have no third-party software installed except Spotify...
    I also have recently replaced my HDD with an SSD. Currently 8gb of 1066mhz memory is installed
    This is log of the latest kernel panic:

    If there is someone out there that could help, I appreciate it very much...!!! This is getting very annoying
    thank you!!

    I noticed that the:
    last loaded kext at 488188985519: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDC          4.1.22 (addr 0xffffff7f85a9c000, size 16384)

    Now, before I go any further, I'd like to point out that diagnosing, and actually eliminating, kernel panics is very tricky. There are several causes that are very well documented on the internet. However, you can run all those tests, perform all that voodoo, even reinstall the OS... and continue to have kernel panics. That said, here are some notes:
    What brought me here in the first place is that, since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, I've been having the same frequency of kernel panics as you.
    My frequency of kernel panics using Snow Leopard and Lion averaged once a week.
    On Snow Leopard I could actually reproduce the kernel panic by USB tethering my iPhone. This was a widespread and well-documented issue for people with early 2011 MacBook Pro's, and Apple supposedly fixed it in an update. Supposedly...
    Updating to 10.8.1 didn't fix the problem for me.
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've stopped using Spotify, as that seemed to be the worst culprit (on my machine). Keep in mind, there are thousands, maybe millions, of users who aren't having kernel panics while using Spotity on Mountain Lion, so that's really only one data point. Also, Spotify recently updated it's own software that may have fixed a kernel extension problem but I haven't used it enough yet to report anything.
    I took my computer to the Apple Store in 2011, and I recently spent an hour on the phone with Apple Care. No dice.
    My kernel panic logs don't seem to have a common denominator as to the cause (Spotify, USB...)
    Just when I think I see a common denominator like when I'm using a certain USB port, or a secondary display, there will be a kernel panic when neither of those things are happening
    You''ve got a lot going on with your machine: upgraded memory, SSD...
    Taking all that into consideration, be cautious not to jump to conclusions. No doubt, it's a combination of factors. For example, it could be certain MacBook Pro's that have certain video cards, USB, Spotify, Flash... I mean, really, it just starts heading down a dangerous path of speculation and conjecture, so I'm leaving it up the Apple engineers at this point. And, of course, always back up.
    Anyway, you and I and whole lot of other folks out there are having the exact same problem since updating to 10.8.0. Add to that the issues that many of us are having with Safari, Mission Control... and it spells out one thing: the price one pays for being an early adopter. By all means, follow the steps outlined here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11045
    and perhaps here:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    and use @baltwo's excellent recommendation:
    http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/
    Hopefully, that will fix the problem that you're experiencing but I'm betting against it. Most likely, 10.8.x will fix or at least improve this issue.
    In the meantime, here's the good news: because of the autosave state features introduced in Lion, a kernel panic has gone from being a potentinally devestatingly destructive event to a minor (albeit inccessant) nuisance. It never hurts to compusively hit Command-S but even so, I'm happy to report that I can't think of a single kernel panic that has resulted in substantial data loss (read: work). In fact, there are worse things than restarting your computer, and reallocating memory that's been leaking from Safari...
    Anyway, unless you're one of the those affected that can't even boot, I'd recommmend stopping short of reinstalling the OS. Wait for a stable release, and then when you have a slow week, perform a clean install. Then begin the process of installing fresh versions of your apps one-by-one. Also, by then, third party developers will have had time to update their kernel extensions, etc.
    In other words, follow the hypocratic oath: thou shall not harm. We were all good before Mountain Lion, so let's not fix what isn't broken by tinkering with our systems too much.
    Best of luck to you!

  • Kernel panic with larch5.3 building CD!

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

  • Kernel panics with external mouse in clamshell mode

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

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

  • Frequent kernel panics with MPB 2.0 with 2GB RAM

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

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

  • Kernel Panic with Stripes

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

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

  • Kernel Panics with Toast 8

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

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

  • Kernel Panic with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement on Macbook Pro Retina 15

    Hello,
    I'm getting Kernel Panic with grey "Death Screen". This happends 5 times. On 5-th of January (3 times) and on 8-th (2 times).
    All the cases according to Consol reports have similar symphtoms:
    panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff802aeb7e75): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7face2557e, type 13=general protection, registers:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace:
    com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(196.0)[F79878E3-8CF9-3ACF-B578-2CE 754CA61F8]@0xffffff7face0e000->0xffffff7face36fff
    This line (besides many others) is different in reports
    BSD process name corresponding to current thread: WindowServer (2 times)
    And other one quicklookd, WebProcess and Web Service.
    I sent all reports to Apple Support as MAC OS asked me about. BTW I can publish them again here.
    Firstly, may be it's possible to figure out the reason of panics: Is this the SW or HW problem?
    Guys at service told me to bring Macbook AS IS. But if this is the SW problem I can clean / reinstall OS etc. myself.
    And (after cleaning and/or reinstalling) if the problem is in HW I'll be getting panics again. So I can bring to service Macbook with new history of panics.
    So what is the probability of HW problem in such a case. When all reports point to the same .kext file.
    Thank You in advance.
    Cheers,
    Victor
    P.S.: Computer is new, I didn't change configuration, OS etc.
    Installed programs under question: m3tag (Tag Editor - recompiled by somebody from WIndows program with some similar to CrossOver env.)
    Adobe FlashPlayer Plugin

    Thanks for reply.
    Exactly - MP3Tag Wineskin port. I also think that here is the reason. This port is up-to-date (10.8.2 compatible) but very inacurate - I found  many garbage in MP3Tag package.  And the original Windows program is very old - 1984(?).
    I removed this program from computer and I have to get a try for some period of time.
