OS X(Leopard) Keeps quitting, I have to shut down/restart everytime (help)!

I don't know what's going on, but for the last day or two I've come back to my laptop and found that it's completely unresponsive and that I have to turn it off and turn it back on again. I was streaming a video to my 360 when it said it lost connection with the host so I came back to check the laptop and noticed all network activity was stagnant. I have Entourage set to check mail ever minute and had Transmission running so it seemed quite odd. I decided to disconnect from my WiFi Network and reconnect, but when I went up to click on the airport icon a Grey screen came down (from top to bottom) and then message appeared (with the off button in the background) informing me that OS X had quit and that I had to power down or press the restart button!
I suspect this is why I've constantly had to turn it off, but just a few minutes ago was the first time I actually saw the message. When I log back in the same "Error, would you like to send a report to Apple" message appears so I think something is going on with the network or something. Below is the message it was going to send to Apple

Hi
Sounds like a kernel panic, see if anything at http://thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html helps.

  • Proxies for Mac OS X have been shut down. Please help!

    all my proxies have been shut down in mac osx. im trying to find automatic proxy config and i need a .pac file. where would i get one? i am a newb when it comes to proxies so i need all the help i can get. i want to enable HTTP and HTTPS proxies and any others that i may need. please help.

    HelsBels1986, first power the computer down, now wait a few minutes until the machine is complete settled. Now press the startup button and restart while holding down the Option key. This should Open Startup Manager and give you a choice of startup disks, choose the Tiger Disk as your startup drive. Once the disk mount choose English, then go up to the Main Menu to Utilities and scroll down to Disk Utility. Once DU opens choose your start up drive in the upper hand column of the window an run Disk Repair from First Aid in the upper Tabs. Now check the SMART Status of your hard drive at the bottom of the window, it should say Verified. Next select your startup volume in the left column and run Repair Permissions.
    If all checks out go back up to the Main Menu/Utilities/Startup Drive and choose your hard drive and choose Restart.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command

    July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode.

    Attempting to download Maverick it has been running for nearly 24hrs. I have tried shutting down the computer but the setup assistant keeps canceling the shut down.

    Just hold down the power button for about ten seconds and the machine will turn off.
    I'm not sure how fast your Internet speed is but my Mavericks downloads usually only take about 20-25 minutes for a 5.33GB file.
    No telling what will be waiting for your when you power back on... call back if you can't login to your computer.

  • I have trouble shutting down my MacBook Pro using the normal way.

    I have trouble shutting down my MacBook Pro, operating Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I click on the "Shut Down" button from the Apple Menu, the screen fades to blue and I get a scrolling wheel; this lasts up to more than two hours and I still don't get any result, so I end up holding down the Power Button until it turns off. Can somebody help me, please?

    Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.
    And try resetting the SMC.

  • When I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is running and I have to shut down the system

    when I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is already running and I have to shut down my system and bring it back up and wait to log back in. It's quite frustrating.

    Try Ctrl>ALT>DEL then click Start Task Manager, then find the process firefox.exe, then click end program, then try opening Firefox again. <!-- click applications > new task.... > explorer.exe --> done! If that doesn't work, then try re-installing Firefox or going to this link to safe mode area and click continue to safe mode and then try and exit, if this problem still occurs then disable extensions and plugins

  • Have new iMac osx 2.5 intel and a few times now when in mail it starts to lag, rainbow spins and things go awry. Have to shut down and reboot to get it back to normal. Also a sender rang to say his email to me had been opened 140 times.....whats that???!!

    Have new imac 2.5 mid 2011 OS X and macmail has a few times started to lag.....slow to accept writing and the rainbow spins and seems to stop it. have to shut down to get it back to normal. Very frustrating when in the middle of a message. Any ideas whats wrong ....whats happening...how to fix...Also a sender rang me to see if I forwarded their email on, and said that particular email had been opened 140 times.......I did not send on....any ideas about that one also.
    Cheers Rhonda

    Rhonda you Force Quit and app by click the Apple symbol in the upper left and selecting Force Quit... and then select the app that isn't responding and Force Quit it.
    I'm not sure what is wrong with your Mail system but I'd recommend starting over with it. You can find out how in Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc... If you still have trouble then contact AppleCare,  you have 90 days of free phone service with AppleCare......why not use it?

  • I have to shut down and restart Iport CONSTANTLY! Help Me!

    I saw a similar question was posted about this before but it was from a long time ago and involved re-installing the OS. I am hoping an easier solution has been discovered.I have an IMac and for some reason I keep losing connection to the internet. I am using the Airport Extreme as my router. The router seems to be fine. My PC does not have any problem staying connected to the internet. When I look at settings the it appears that I am connected to the Airprt extreme on my IMac but I have no internet. I have to shut down the Iport and then reconnect. Evertime I do I will have internet for 1 second to 2 minutes and then it will drop again. I can't figure this one out! Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In your web.xml file you would have an entry like:
    <context-param>
    <description>If this parameter is true, there will be an automatic check of the modification date of your JSPs, and saved state will be discarded when JSP's change. It will also automatically check if your skinning css files have changed without you having to restart the server. This makes development easier, but adds overhead. For this reason this parameter should be set to false when your application is deployed.</description>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
    </context-param>
    Set the parameter value to true. Restart the server .. after this for any css changes we will not need to restart the Jdev.

    My MacBook just recently today starts to ask me to shutdown/sleep/restart etc after 1 minute of idling. I've reset the SMC twice to no avail. I checked my power settings and everything else and nothing is out of the ordinary. I've looked online and other people have experienced similar problems. Just wondering if anyone have found a solution to this?

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, select that application, and press the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can and use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

    When I close Firefox and then come back to it later a box comes up that says it's already running. It says to close Firefox first but when I hit close nothing happens and the box comes up again. I have to shut down my computer and restart to get into Firefox again. If I can't get this fixed I will start using someone else. Someone told me a way to close Firefox but I forgot what they said.

    Hello Brian.
    You don't need to restart your computer to open Firefox again: you just need to close it manually through your application manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in Processes tab). Anyway, hopefully this support article is what you need:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
    What's probably happening is that you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Since downloading the iOS on my iPad, I cannot download more than one pdf from mail to iBooks.  I have to shut down y iPad and start again.  Any suggestions?

    Since downloading iOS on my new iPad, I cannot downlaod more than one pdf from mail into iBooks.  I have to shut down my iPad and restart it to save a second pdf. Wasn't a problem with the old operating system.  Any suggestions?

    It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
    Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.
