Often forced to restart ....
Hi,
The last few weeks when opening the computer quite a few times gets grey and a display ask me to restart ..... does anyone know what this means and how to change this?
Gr. Ron.
Hi,Sorry to hear your suffering these. These are called Kernel Panics. Kernel Panics can be caused by poor software drivers, some USB devices, bad RAM to name but a few of the reasons.
The best advice on how to solve these is to work throughDr Smoke's guide to clearing Kernel Panics. I've had to return cheap RAM I've bought in the past that was causing my Kernel Panics on my iMac - but I've also had Kernel Panics on earlier versions of OS X due to removing a USB Floppy Disk drive whilst the computer was asleep.
If you work through the guid you should clear your issue.

Can anyone tell from this log why my mac keeps crashing and forcing a restart?
Can anyone tell fromm the log below why my iMac keeps randomly crashing and forcing a restart? It is happening way too often now and it's driving me crazy!
Only just a few days ago I wiped my drive clean and installed a fresh OS copy of mountain lion, I then though it may be a Ram issue but a thorough test said everything was ok and I had a memory monitor window open last time it crashed which showed that barely any of the memory was in use!?
Really need some help here guys!
Thanks in advance!

com.apple.kec.corecrypto 1.0Right so I decided to erase my harddrive completely using disk utility, then went on to install a fresh version of mountain lion (both by holding down cmd-r when booting up)
With a fresh system I tried what had previously casued a kernel crash, which wa copying a video to my downloads folder, selecting it and then hitting spacebar to preview it, the video plays fine for about a minute then it jolts, freezes and then retarts with a white screen saying I need to restart.
Below is the report, im so confused!

Hi,
Suddenly while working with Firefox if I happen to drag the vertical scroll bar, a very abnormal behavior occurs. My screen dances up and down for a short time before either going black or getting restored but with no clicks working. The only way to resume is to force a restart of the system.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
DeepakThat didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

Mountain 10.8.2 do not like '.exe' file at all !! IT gets Hanged and then Force to restart
After Update with 10.8.2. The System get hang (stuck)
I had to do a forced restart, several time and even a ReBoot in safety more.
AND I FIGURED OUT WHY :
I realized that in one of my folder (Download) I had an ".exe" File; Than have been downloaded (because i got Parallel Desktop that neable window7 to run under the Mac), and causes the problem (system is hanged)
Then when I reboot in safety mode I deleted that file. And Then everything went OK.
But when I plugged my USB key, I got again my system that turn to stop... Then again Force to Restart, remove the USB Key.
Guess what!! In the USB Key (at the root) there was again some '.exe' Files...
In conclusion :
There is an issue with that new release of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 that cause the system to get hang, when "Finder" meet an '.exe' file.
It occurs only when you open your "Finder" then go throughout some folder where you have placed some '.exe' file. Then your system will not respond anymore. You got to force the restart
Just to make it clear, of course I do not want to run an '.exe' file under Mac.
But If like me you have Parallel Desktop in order to run Window7 or 8; you might have some '.exe' file that are located in your Mac Folder…..
Then, when you open 'Finder' and you walk through your folder and meet an '.exe' file, thus you system will freeze!!
Work Arround Solution, that's only happen if your '.exe' File is not associtaed to be open under Window Explorer (if you have Parallel Desktop, of course).
Then, make sure to associate the extension '.exe' to Window Explorer, if you have some '.exe' File that are located in your folder or USB key,
Otherwise your system will freeze and you will have to force the restart.
CheersThat right I do not need to have any .exe file in my Mac environment; but having
installed Parallel Desktop (to have a Window Environment, due to business matters)
you might have from time to time some of that files ins download area or in the USB key.
The Test I made is very simple : I placed an .exe file in an USB Key; then plug in to my Mac
then from Finder open the folder where was that exe file…. Guess what ???
My computer get FREEZE (no respond)… I got to reboot.
Then I do not know what's going on. With the previous version (10.8.1) I never got such of issue ?
Here is the log beofre I had to restart:

MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart
Hi, as mentioned in the header : MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart
After the battery drains to 0% the computer switches off.... *Makes sense*
Once I put the charger power chord back in for an extended period of time I hit the power button and then see the login screen.... *Makes sense*
However it won't let me type into the login box therefore having to force a restart and lose any saved data or data open when it died of battery. *WEIRD*
This happens every time my computer runs out of battery. I understand that obviously not letting the laptop die is a good idea, however it seems like there is something wrong as it allows me to login yet won't let me type anything...
Any solutions? Anyone else experience this?
I have an early 2012 MacBook Pro - 15 Inch Screen.Hi s4mboy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd start with resetting the SMC and PRAM on the MacBook Pro:

I would back up your Mac, erase and reinstall. Then Migrate your user data from the backup.
Uninstalling Tuxera is a troubleshooting process. You don't have to keep it uinstalled, just long enough to test to see if it is causing the problems.
However, if it doesn't happen regularly, it would be hard to determine if it was the cause. And, as I mentioned, I don't think it would be the cause. -
HELP! I just downloaded pics from my Canon 7D to i photo. I was near the end of editing and the computer froze (started spinning). I forced a restart and went I got back to iPhoto all my work was gone. Any suggestions?
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks,
EricI have tried both remedies mentioned above. I double-checked and my network is listed in the wireless advanced settings. It's the only network in my list. Airport is at the top in my Network Preferences as well.
I was hoping the update to 10.5.8 would help but the problem keeps occurring. One thing I have tried is leaving the "Closed Network Option" unchecked for my AE. Now, I am discovering when exiting sleep mode, I see my network but when it tries to connect, I receive the error "Connection Timeout". This happens on both computers.
The only thing that works the most consistently is unplugging the AE and plugging back in. Once I'm connected, it works great.
I tried using iStumbler to see if there were any other networks using the same channel but that looks okay.
I guess I can try using a different security setting other than WPA2, but then that is not really a solution. I'm about ready to just try some other newer wireless solution. It used to work flawlessly. I think until 10.5.4, I had no issues. -

Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

When I remove iPod (shuffle), I'm forced to restart computer
I have seen some posts about iPods forcing a restart upon connection, but my problem is when I physically remove the iPod (after ejecting it), I then get a message from iTunes that I must restart my computer. The message is right, because everything is frozen up. This is the first time I've had this kind of issue with the iPod (it's a year old). I seem to recall having downloaded the latest version of iTunes right before this started happening. Any advice would be appreciated.
Do you have any other USB devices connected?

Forced second restart required after every s/w upgrade
As the subject title says...
on one of my two G4 Macs, after every/any software update that REQUIRES a restart, the restart never completes on it's own. I can actually hear the HD NOT having any disk activity. It just hangs when the screen goes from grey to blue with the spinning sprocket thingy.
If I hold the power button in until it forces a restart (iBook) it then reboots fine and the second attempt. Why?Why?Why?
This started maybe 2 years ago and never went away. It's just annoying more than anything else.Could be many things, we should start with this...
"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 Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD...

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

I have a dialog box in Mac OS calendar that says "moving calendars to server account. It has totally locked up the Calendar app. I have forced quit, restarted the Mac as well as Calendar but I can't use Calendar at all. How can I restore Calendar?
No one have any idea as to what's going on with my issue?
A lot of people do, if you take a look at the More Like This widget on the right side of this page.
Try signing out and back in to iCloud in System Preferences. -

Hey aristoklis,
To start off, I would try resetting the SMC to see if that resolves the issue. You can read how to here:

Hi my MacBook for some reason keeps, on forcing me to restart. It a grey box in the middle of the screen. I went to disk utility fixed problems but still the force to restart pops up
Sounds like you have a incompatible at boot kernel extension file.
Do the #8 Reinstall Just OS X method + Software Update fully here and other Steps as necessary.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Any third party software that fails to work, check with the developer for a update and compatability with your OS X verison before applying.
