New Kernal Panics after 10.4.3 Update

I have just upgraded to 10.4.3. The computer has kernal panic'd with carbon copy cloner, installation of Logic Audio (plus content disc), and just now, as it was accessing a firewire drive.
The apple hardware test shows up no problems. I have cleaned the cache. Repaired permissions hundreds of times. Reset the pram.
The front firewire port failed a few months ago but with the old os this never caused a problem. (Installing logic audio doesn't use the firewire port)
I understand I could be looking at a hardware problem, but it seems suspicious that this has started to be a problem with a fresh new install. Is it worth any kindly soul out there looking at either the last panic.log or crash report to ascertain whether it is definitely a hardware or software problem.
Or does anybody know of any firewire test or testing utilities I could run?
cheers

If it was a clean install of Tiger, there could be a number of incompatibilities between Tiger and some of your old third party software applications as Tiger and Panther are very different systems.

Kernal Panic after Boot Camp Software update

Hey all here is my dilemma,
I have a MBP 15' 2.66GHZ i7 8GB Ram etc...
Few days ago my internal drive would not boot; So I went to the apple store and they 'determined' that it was the logic board through a very sketchy process of elimination. In the end my logic board was replaced.
On the next day I decide to finally set up boot camp (Big Mistake). Everything goes fine up until I decide to download - Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit. After installation I was prompted to restart my computer after which it booted into Mac and Kernel panic ensued along with the gray screen.
Windows partition works fine, I was unable to boot from CD, tried PRAM reset, Could not safe boot. Target Disk mode formatting the hard disk and then reinstalling Mac OS was successful in reinstalling the OS, but it still does not boot.
Now I am stuck with Windows 7 working and Mac not booting stuck at apple no spinning wheel.
Please help, I really do not know what do to.

I had 2 sucessive kernal panic after down loading the 10.6.8 update Combo V1.1

Can some one tell me if mine has updated the above.
I reinstalled my Snow Leopard on my Mac Book Air 2.1 [128 GB SSD, 2GB RAM, 2.13GHz Intel] using Disk 1 that came with my computer.
I did not look at the Snow Leopard Version after this step.
Then checked for Software Update..which has few one among them was Mac OS X 10.6.8 update combo V1.1
After the download and took me to restart now...which I choose took all 2 third of the way and had a kernal panic.
Restarted in safe mode, ok. Started normally and screen shows a kernal panic log.
Now I could see a change when go to Goole mail that I can log on to my e-mail.(I could not do it just after the Disk 1 installation except on basic HTML)
Also checked on the Apple top corner about this apple where it shows 10.6.8.
Does that mean the install is complete.
Why am I getting these lock up screens?
Regards

Hello QuickTimeKirk, Thank you for your assistance greatly appreciated. Here is my Kernel Panic logs. mine started having lock up screens and hence thought re-install will resolve but I still getting it while trying to install my Snow Leopard. Does it suggest failing SDD on my Mac Book air 2.1? What do you think?

MacBook Pro 2010 crashing / kernal panic after Mavericks update

After we updated our MacBook Pro (late 2010) to mavericks, it has a kernal panic crash not just on wake/sleep, but also when a program is opened (usually 2 or 3rd program).
it happens when plugged in and when unplugged. I have tried a few of the "fixes" but nothing has helped. Doesn't seem to be the power issues some have sugested. Also, doesn't appear to be a HP issues others have also had.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Here is the lastest report:

Kernal Panic after update to 10.4.6/Missing HD Space/Won't Startup from DVD

Sorry to lump three problems together, but they may all be related.
First - I was getting random Kernal Panics while at 10.4.5, so I attempted to update to 10.4.6. The computer wouldn't even come close to starting up. I got a screen full of Kernal Panic info. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.3, and that's where the system stands now. It's running fine.
Second - My computer suddenly announced that the startup drive was out of disk space. I looked and the window said 30g. I closed the window and opened it again only to see it at zero k. I dumped some items to get some disk space, but now I can't get my 30g back.
Third - I want to startup from the Tiger disk like I did when I reinstalled, but it won't startup from the DVD. I'd like to run Disk Repair on the main hard drive. It showed some errors when I ran a Test using the Disk Utility.
I'm hoping this is all related. The computer seems to be running fine, but I can't update or find my missing space. Any advice I can get on these issues would be appreciated. Thanks.
Jon

Is your computer saving a panic.log after each of the kernel panics? You can see by opening Console (in /Applications/Utilities) and looking for it. I'm not at my Mac now, so I can't tell you under what section to look for that log.
When you try to boot from the CD, are you holding down the 'C' key as the computer reboots? You can also try rebooting with the Option key pressed, which will present you with a list of bootable volumes. It will also give you access to the Apple Hardware Test (if this is the DVD that came with the computer). If you can select the Apple Hardware Test, I'd recommend doing the Extended Test, which will test the hardware, including the RAM.
For the disappearing disk space, you could have some process that is going bezerk and filling up the log files. In any event, to see where you disk space is being used, download and run Omni DiskSweeper.

Kernal Panic after failed 10.5.8 update. Think I have made things worse!

My daughter clicked the update button without thinking when notified of a 10.5.8 update. 2 hours later the Macbook Intel 12" was still spinning. She cancelled the update, waited for it to close down and went to bed. Next morning Kernal Panic. I have scanned the discussion pages and carried out all suggestions, reset PRAM, single user mode etc but to no effect.
Originally a second hand purchase about 2 years ago, we dont have the original Leopard installation discs nor some of the apps that came with it (CS3), but have plenty of Time Machine backups on an Iomega firewire drive.
So I used my 10.5 MacBook Pro discs and got the Disk Utility going. No disc faults and drive was SMART Verified. Hundreds of permission repairs and still Kernal Panic on restart. Using same discs I tried to Restore system from backup but drive not visible. Using Disk Utility I tried to restore using the manual option and it allowed me to drag the Backupdb file to the source drive. Being thorough I asked it to Erase and Restore.
After 15 min it had read the files, after another 14 it had verified them, then the message Operation Timed Out, could not complete. Now I have a completely wiped MacBook Drive and no way of restoring the data.
Have checked with local Apple dealer, Leopard 10.5 is no longer marketed and Snow Leopard 10.6 will not allow me to restore an earlier System. He suggested I bought a 2nd hand copy off ebay! This sounds like possibly adding to my problems.
Q1 : Can I use Snow Leopard to restore an earlier system from Time Machine on a wiped drive?
Q2 : Can I use a previously registered copy of Leopard legally if original machine scrapped.
Q3 : Could a third party repairer install a copy of 10.5.6 long enough for me to carry out a System Restore from the Time Machine backup.
Q4 : Have I completely wrecked this mac and should I start from scatch with Snow Leopard?
Any suggestions gratefully received. I am afraid to do anything else in case I make recovery even more difficult. Thanks in advance.

Had I read of your suggestion before I stupidly wiped the drive I would most certainly have given it a try. It would be my first action if i am ever in this situation again. As it is I have managed to find a resolution myself which i include here for any other folk unfortunate enought to find them selves in a similar position.
My frustration at this problem was made greater by being outbid at the last minute on a copy of Leopard on Ebay. I would never normally buy second hand software and find it incredible that Apple do not continue to sell the original product. If they dropped the price by 20% on recently updated system software they would still have plenty of customers, either in my position or 10.4 non intel users wanting to get up to date.
Anyway in a more considered moment I bought a copy of Snow Leopard on the basis that it is an upgrade to 10.5 not a complete rebuild. Sure enough after chosing the language I had the option of the Utilities menu and the Restore System From Backup option recognised the various Time Machine backups on the firewire drive. 1 hour later it was identical to the pre kernal panic episode.
Suffice to say Software Update had now been deactivated on all my Macs.

Kernal Panic after update

I just updated Safari, and when I shut it down to end the update, my macbook had a kernal panic. What do I do? Is there any way to undo an update??

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Repair Permissions & reboot.
If you get more KPs we'll take a different tack.

Do you still have the original DVD's that shipped with the MacBook (10.5 probably)....if so try the Apple Hardware Test (AHT)....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
Also see if it will boot into 'Safe Mode'....

Did the OS update fail?....I see "Mac OS version : Not yet set"

Kernal panic after failed Leopard install

Was upgrading a MacMini from the installed 10.4 system to 10.5. The install reported a problem reading the DVD during the first phase of the install (when the DVD and platform was being analyzed) and before any install started.
Rather than removing the DVD, I went ahead and ran the install a second time, this time hitting SKIP during the first phase. This move the install to the actual install which tried to start but stopped after less than a minute again reporting a problem reading the DVD.
Since I wasn't sure how to eject the DVD from within the installer, I decided to boot using the 10.4 installed system. Within seconds (just after the apple logo was displayed) there was a kernal panic. A complete shutdown and reboot of the Mini failed to solve the problem and the panic occurred again at the same location in startup.
I got help on how to remove the DVD and, sure enough, it did have a water spot which I cleaned and re-ran the 10.5 install which was successful. I'm able to boot the new system with any panic.
I ran a repair disk just to make sure there wasn't some other problem that might have been unrelated to the failed install but no errors (other than a couple APL not found messages) were found.
My intent is to migrate from a G4, now also running 10.5 but this experience has left me a little concerned that there may be a problem on the Mini that may not have been resolved through the successful Leopard install.
Are there other tests or utilities I can run to get more comfortable that the panic is gone before I do the migrate?
Thanks
Tom

Use the Apple Hardware Test program that shipped with the machine and then follow up with running Rember. Once that's done, install Leopard and migrate from the G4, make a bootable backup/clone of the new installation, and then apply any subsequent updates.

24" iMac refurb - kernal panic after apple logo

I received a refurbished 24" C2D iMac on Friday and it seemed to be in perfect condition. Everything worked, and all of the updates were applied.
Upon returning to the office on Monday, there was a kernal panic when awakening it. It also consistently panics at the blue screen before "Loading Mac OS X..." and after the gray apple logo screen.
Starting in safe mode works fine. Starting from CD works fine.
I have wiped the drive and reloaded OS X 10.4.7, with no change, and have updated to 10.4.8 and all the latest updates (including airport 2007_002), with no change.
Apple Hardware Test from the install CD shows that everything checks out ok. The hard drive also passed all tests. I have tried each RAM module separately.
The panic.log file indicates that there may be an issue with the video card:
"invalid frame pointer" and
"Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependecies):
com.apple.GeForce(4.3.8)@0x2c0e6000"
Is there anything I can to single out the video card? Should I just put it back in the box and return it?

First, I'd check this to see if the firmware is actually updated:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacefifirmwareupdate11.html
If not, read the read-me information available. It may be that upon restart you didn't hold down the button long enough for the indicator light to start flashing, which is the beginning of the actual installation (separate matter from the download). Remember that AirPort is an application, and preferably should be turned off post-download, pre-installation, for installation to be trouble-free.

Kernal panic after installing LR3- now after re-install,no privileges

imac
2.4 gHz
300 HDD
3G ram
I installed Lightroom 3 and in 64 bit mode it crashed the system with 'kernal panic'.
Managed to get it working in 32 bit (slowly) but was advised to re-install 10.5.8 as I was getting ACL found but not expected errors when I tried to repair permissions.
I re-installed but now find I have no administrator privileges - so can't do any updates etc;
managed to do: Installer>Utilities>reset password - but it still says password is wrong.
I also had used Time Machine to back up my system : when I tried to restore, the restore button is greyed out - I can select on various items, but that is as far as I can get.
Am at my wits end - don't see why the re-install has caused this problem

If all else fails, you can reinstall Snow Leopard using the same installer disc you used to install it originally (or your grey system discs if your Mac came with Snow Leopard installed). This will not erase your user files but you will have to update the OS & Apple-supplied apps after the installation. This isn't as painful as it sounds if you use the Software Update app immediately following the first normal restart after the installation completes. Software Update is smart enough to pick the most appropriate update(s) to get your Mac back to the latest software, including automatically picking the Combo version of the OS updater if the installed version is more than one minor version behind the latest one.
In fact, given how slow a Time Machine restore can be, if you have a fast high speed Internet connection this could take less time & effort on your part than doing the TM restore. Plus, it guarantees that you get the latest versions of everything & that they are all properly linked.

New Kernal Panic question - Help needed desperate!

Hi All,
This is the first time I have used the Forum and am hoping that someone can help. I'm having a huge issue with my iMac G5. I had iTunes playing two days ago and no other programmes open at the time. I left my desk for no more the 10 minutes and when I returned I had a message in four languages telling me to restart my computer. I have tried this but now when I try to turn on my iMac, the only screen I get now is the kernal panic and then the fans kick in really loud. Now comes the part where you sit there and shake your head at me! I have read that I should press the option key when turning the iMac back on, the only problem is, I don't know which is the option key!! If someone could let me know it would be much appreciated. Also any other advise would be great as I have no idea what to do.

Hi RYork,
Which model of iMac G5 do you have? Is it:
a) one of the original iMac G5's, sold new up til the beginninhg of May 2005,
b) one of the "ALS" models , with a little "light sensor" bump on the back of the grill on the bottom edge of the computer, an inchor two to the right of the big "Apple" Logo, sold between late April and October, 2005, or
c) one of the later models with a built in iSight camera, sold after October 12th, 2005?
THe first step here ideally involves resetting the SMU of the computer. The process differs depending on the model that you have. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733 for the two later models and dot point 2, paragraph 9 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908 for the more complicated process for the original "first generation" model .
You should disconnect all peripherals other than your keyboard and mouse when troubleshooting this sort of problem. USB hubs and USB ADSL routers are particularly common causes of problems, so make sure you lose both of these especially hwile trying to find the problem. As you have indicated that you are suspicious of your keyboard you may even want to try restarting with it disconnected , too, after trying the SMU reset.
The option key is called the "alt" in the UK. Using this is only going to help if you have a second disc with an operating system to start from though. This could be the iMac G5 DVD that came with your computer, or an external firewire drive with a system installed on it.
If your computer is one of the "first generation" models mentioned above it is quite possible that you have a serious hardware problem. There is an "extension repair" program in place for these computers, even if they are out of warranty, because of the well known hardware problems, so check the details of the program at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302181 .
You say that your husband has a laptop, but you don't say whether it is an Apple or not. If it is then it may be possible to undertake some further troubleshooting using something called "Target Disk Mode", so let us know what it is.
But this keyboard has me worried first of all. If an SMU reset doesn't solve the problem, then disconnect EVERYTHING and see if the computer will now start up before going further down the troubleshooting path.
Cheers
Rod

Firefox creates a new dock icon after an add on updates

Often, after I update an add on, Firefox creates a new, temporary icon in my dock. The old icon is still in the dock and clickable to reopen Firefox, but once Firefox opens, the temporary icon reappears unless I replace it with the new icon after every update.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I think about a year ago, but only after an add on updates and I don't know if it happens with all updates or not.

can't believe that i was the only person to have the problem, but no replies whatsoever suggest i was. have now upgraded to 5.0 where the problem has not yet reoccurred.
