Over riding Yosemite to Install Mavericks

If you're running Yosemite, how can you revert back to Mavericks if you want to...

Erase the drive and restore from a backup using Recovery.
OS X Yosemite: Revert to a previous OS X version
If you don't have a backup you can restore from, boot into Internet recovery, partition the drive, then reinstall OS X.

  • Annoying Kernel Panics after installing Mavericks...

    my macbook pro has restarted over 20 times after installing mavericks. I can get as far as my desktop but if I touch a key on my keyboard my screen freezes and my macbook restarts and I get the kernel panic msg.
    I'm able to use an external keyboard fine and also my internal keyboard runs fine in safe mode.
    I've done disk repair, repair permissions, and all that jazz.
    Here is a report from the error... can anyone see what the problem is?

    First thing I'd do is uninstall your ManyCam software:
    http://manycam.com/uninstall/mac
    if that doesn't help, move on to uninstalling the Blackberry software you have.
    Good luck

  • Trouble installing Mavericks over Lion on iMac 12,2; hangs.

    Hi Folks,
    iMac 12,2 16 Gigs RAM, i7  4-core 3.4 GHz 1-TB HD for data, 1-250 Gig SSD for systems - running Snow Leopard on one partition and Lion on the other. (Full hardware description at bottom.)
    Purchased new in New Zealand about 14 months ago from Apple authorized reseller; no AppleCare. Not registered with Apple. No seerrious problems since, until this.
    Ethernet lan connection to Airport and then ISP's modem/router (Telecom New Zealand, . Fixed IP. No problems there, I think.
    Lots of USB stuff plugged in during install, but that shouldn't matter.
    Attempt to install Mavericks on Lion partition while booted in Lion partition failed.
    Attempt to install Mavericks on Lion partition while booted in Snow Leoepard partition failed.
    (Download to Snow seemed to work fine. Installer ran, finished in 20 minutes instead of 35, but when I restarted the computer the startup hung. Shutdown, restart, hangs. Every time.)
    Both installations failed with this hang. Restarts done with verbose logging on show the following, repeating ad infinitum (I stopped counting after it got over 5,100 lines -- no I didn't watch 5,000 lines scroll, I went away for a snooze):
    invalid sandbox profiile for pid <number> (invalid regex)
    Nothing here in the forums, or on the InterWebs about this error or much about a hanging install (which has been identified as one of Mavericks' problems) except to say wait forever (I  think 5,000 lines of verbose logging is forever) or try the install again. I have tried the install again; it hangs at the same point every time.
    There is some stuff on the hacker sites about sandbox and this error, but only for earlier OS versions. The fix for them was to replace the sandbox.kext. I'm going to boot into root in Snow Leopard partition so I can do things to the Lion partition, and change that kextfile?! Yeah, Riiiggghhhhttt. NOT.
    I suppose I could try the install with all USB stuff disconnected -- but I don't believe that's it.
    I suppose the fact that the Lion might not have had the latest software updates to it before I tried to install Mavericks might have something to do with it. I don't believe that's it (certainly is shouldn't be).
    Final recourse might have to be wiping the Lion partition (full erase and clean install) (it doesn't have any critical data saved on it; I do all my work in Snow on the other partition, the Lion is for experimenting).
    Anyone have any ideas?
    TIA and cheers,

    Sorry, bad news for you, depending on your setup.
    The answer (provided by an Apple higher-level tech for which I paid -- no Applecare) was that they don't have a clue, but a clean install works.
    Yeah, Thaaannnnnnnkkkksss. Knew that.
    Clean install (almost) always works (worked) for 25 years.
    You don't say if your kit has everything on one partition, or there are more than one.
    If you have a big hard disk that's not full, has lots of room, but only one partition, with 10.8 you can dynamically create a new partition without losing data. I don't have the details of the process handy, but it's pretty straightforward.
    Then, with the Mavericks installer on the 10.8 partition, and booted to that partition, you can install Mavericks on the other partition (with administrator account). You could use the migration assistant (or whatever) to bring your data over from the 10.8 partition to the Mavericks one. However ...
    You might also want, if your hard disk isn't huge, and you don't have two drives of whatever type in the machine, to make the new partition just big enough for the OS and apps, and keep the data on the 10.8 partition.
    You can tell the Mavericks instance to use the other partition as your Home directory, instead of the Home directory on the Mavericks drive.
    If you have your OS and data on the same partition, and you don't have enough room on your disk(s) for the above procedures, then your best solution would likely be make a Carbon Copy Clone of the drive, wipe it completely, and install Mavericks from some external source other than another partition with another OS, and migrate your data back.
    There is stuff on the Web about making a bootable Mavericks install disk on a flash memory stick.
    But whichever way you end up doing it, you will have to boot into a clean OS on a different partition or disk from the target Mavericks install partition or disk.
    Last caveat: it may be difficult, but not impossible, to maintain your, or multiple users', identity and accounts and where they point, as well as your online IDs.
    Hope that helps a bit. Don't give up, but do take precautions (a CCC backup or a Tiime Machine is always wise anyway) and write everything down as you go.
    FWIW, I'm not using the Mavericks partition for anything, not even experimentation. I'm still using my Snow Leopard, because it works fine (finally) and is the only way to run Eudora. Until, that is, I solve the problem of running 10.6.8 server in a virtual machine in the Mavericks partition so I can run Eudora under Steve's nose with impunity, and so seamlessly it seems to be running under Mavericks, with full integration (through Parallels).
    Cheers from the Antipodes,

  • After installing Mavericks I started to receive my email over and over again.

    (Mail on Mac) I am experiencing a disturbing problem I can't find a previous mention of. Hopefully there's someone who has already been able to solve this.
    My email is, on my wish, (Webmail UPC) not removed from my providers server after download, this for security reasons. I suppose after installing Mavericks the following event repeats itself again and again. What happens is that the email messages received are first seen in their correct alias(account) under/in the Incoming box. Next the same messages (after a period of time or/and after one or more times restarting Mail, this is unclear) are received again within an alias of that account, however the re-received message can be delivered in another alias(account) for example, an emailaccounts given alias, lets say, alias 1a receives a message again... while the original message was addressed to that emailaccounts alias 1b or 1c etc. But alias 1a also gets the message sooner or later. Thus I keep receiving the same messages over and over again in time. Does anyone recognize this problem and even better is there a solution. Thanks.

    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    Or...
    One way to test is to 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, Test for problem in Safe Mode...

  • Can't install Mavericks on external drive on Yosemite system

    I have an app for a camera firmware upgrade that doesn't work in Yosemite and requires installation from a Mavericks system.
    I have an available USB 3.0 drive and have downloaded Mavericks, but when I try to install Mavericks, I get this:
    Ideas, solutions? Thanks in advance....

    Hi JDB38;
    There is no such thing as an Intel G5. It is either one or the other but never both. An Intel tower is a Mac Pro. A G5 is a tower with a PowerPC processor in it. So which do you have?

  • I want to install Mavericks before Yosemite

    Hi,
    I want to install Mavericks instead of Yosemite.
    I have Snow Leopard.
    Where can I find the Mavericks download in the Apple Store?
    There is just the Yosemite download at Apple Store.
    Thanks,
    Luigi

    Per a note from Niel (a long time member on these forums):
    if Mavericks is needed, go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, and contact Apple.

  • Installing Mavericks over Mountain Lion

    I try to install Mavericks over Mountain Lion but keep getting this message: Unapproved caller, securityagent may only be invoked by Apple software.
    Now I am stocked and cannot do anything :-(
    Any suggestions?

    Dang! that was so NOT cool. Same thing happened to me and feel lucky to have found this thread.
    I was stuck in a loop of that dialog popping up saying "Unapproved Caller". I tried clicking OK repeatedly and it still kept popping up.
    Seeing the comment about Safe Mode, I took the gamble and held the power switch on my 27" iMac until it powered off, waited a moment, then pushed the power button again and as soon as the chime sound happened, held Shift key to boot in Safe Mode and that worked just like it did for @Bart2904.
    How in the world would an average user know how to recover from such a situation - it would be bricked computer and a trip to Genius bar. Again, not cool.

  • My mail on my mac hasn't worked since I installed maverick and yosemite neither

    I am not ever so 'techy' but Ive been trying and trying to get my mail to work ever since I installed mavericks. It still doesn't work on yosemite! I tried a few things before but just gave up!!

    Hi There,
    I have similar issues with the whole MS Office solution since I "upgraded' towards Yosemite:
    when I use Cmd+W or the "close" menu option to close a Word file, Word crashes down (I always send a message to Microsoft but I guess this is more related to Yosemite or to its installation; consequence is it become very difficult to close a file, as it re-opens it the next time :-(
    same thing for Excel and PowerPoint
    When I try to save in PDF format a Word file containing several sections, it produces one PDF file per section - wasn't before Yosemite
    Excel crashes down much more often than before because of lack of memory
    Well, if someone has a suggestion, I would be grateful, 'cause it is becoming actually boring - and counter-productive !

  • Can I install Mavericks on a Mac that came with Yosemite pre installed?

    I just bought a brand new Mac with the following specs:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
    It came with OS X Yosemite installed. Though I love all the new features, this new OS doesn't support some important Apps I need to install. Could I say, install Mavericks on a partition of my HDD? I've looked on several forums and haven't found any good answers. Some folks say it's tricky. Others say it can't be done. Could anyone help?
    -Chris

    It cannot be done.

  • I am trying to fresh install Mavericks (it gives me no other choice) on my erased MacBook Pro HD prior to selling on. It does not give me choice to use any other OS. Yet Mavericks is not available. ?? What to do please?

    I wish to sell my 2008 MacBook Pro. Have erased hard disk and when I went to fresh instal Mavericks OSX 10.6 (it gives me no other choice in the disk utility program) It says in the Apple Store, it is unavailable. But because this is done from disk utility there is no operating system or access to choose another OS eg Yosemite.  I cannot download anything using my iMac as that came ready loaded with Yosemite, so it does not show as a purchase. I do not want to use the Time Machine backup as that has all my details, apps etc. in it.    Would the best way be to purchase a disk containing Mavericks the OS that was on it most recently. Can anyone offer advice please? 

    You need to re-install the OS the computer shipped with using the disks that were supplied with the computer. Contact Apple Support and have the serial number of your computer available. They will send you new disks for a small fee.

  • Installing Maverick on my Mac lost almost all of the calendar entries. They are still on my iPhone and new entries move freely to both devices via iCloud. How do I get the entries from my iPhone to iCloud without losing them from iPhone?

    Like many others after I installed Maverick I found that all the calendar history has been lost and most of the forward info has also been lost. Also in order to get calendar, contacts and notes to sync with the iPhone I have had to move to iCloud. Contacts and notes sync fine. new calendar entries sync ok. My iPhone has all the calendar entries that were on the Mac before I installed Maverick. So far iCloud has not overwritten them nor have they synced onto iCloud.
    How can I get all the entries from my iPhone onto iCloud, without losing the only copy of my calendar from my iPhone?
    Thanks Apple for deciding to take over my privacy. I do not want this data stored on a US based server. Fortunately Mail still syncs via my own email provider. I guess Apple will find a way to stop that soon too!

    Greetings Nefertiti72,
    It seems you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing and management. It seems you've removed an email account which contained a number of contacts that are not associated with your iCloud account. I have linked to a knowledge base article which provides more information about iCloud contacts syncing:
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    Learn what to do if you’re having issues using iCloud Contacts. For example, you might make changes to Contacts that don't update across all of your devices.
    You may want to consider importing the contacts from the email account you removed. You can do it easily by following the steps in this article:
    iCloud: Import a vCard
    You can import an electronic business card, also called a vCard, into iCloud Contacts. If the vCard contains contact information for more than one person, each contact becomes a separate entry.
    In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
    Select a vCard to import.
    The contacts from the vCard are added to the All Contacts group in Contacts. You can add the contacts to any other group by dragging them to the desired group.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Bobby_D

  • How i can install Mavericks on new HDD because my mac hdd broken

    i have macbook pro A1286 hard disk damage . i buy new HDD and fix it on my mac , then how i can install Mavericks ?
    i try many times but i cant finish this problem because i cant access to disk utilities or recovery mood because already the hdd is new&empty .
    Please Help
    [email protected]
    Thanks

    It's going to be impossible to install Mavericks unless you have a working Mavericks-USB-installer or an  "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" that YOU have downloaded from the App Store in the past.
    You should use a Snow Leopard install DVD to install 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on your Mac. From there, you can use your  "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" to install Mavericks. If you don't have that, you can download and install Yosemite from the Mac App Store instead.
    If you don't have either a Snow Leopard install DVD or a custom made Mavericks-installer-USB, you should call Apple and buy a Snow Leopard install DVD from them. They're still for sale.
    The other option is to use another, still functioning, Mac and connect the two using a firewire cable. Then you can use Target Disk Mode to install Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac http://support.apple.com/nl-nl/ht1661

  • Installing Mavericks produced "a connection error occurred" in Mail and "connection failed" in App Store

    Dear Apple Support Community!
    I installed Mavericks OS X on my iMac immediately after it was released. I was soon starting to experience trouble with logging in to Mail and App Store. After contacting Apple Support and trying various tips and tricks to no avail, like re-installing Mavericks for instance, I just decided to wait for an update of the OS X to see if that would solve my problems. Unfortunately, that didn't help either.
    I therefore turn to the Apple Support Communities in hope of expert help that will solve my problems.
    Here are the actions that result in error messages:
    Mail > Choose a mail account to add > Google > Continue > Name/Email Address/Password > Set Up > A connection error occurred.
    App Store > Sign In > Apple ID/Password > Sign In > Connection failed.
    I have three accounts on my computer:
    System Administrator, Guest Account and Other.
    I use the “Other” account as my regular account. When I log in to the System Administrator or Guest Account I don’t experience any problems; Mail and App Store work as they should.
    Booting in safe mode does not solve the problem:
    I disconnected all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and removed all aftermarket expansion cards. I booted in safe mode and logged in to the account with the problem.
    I tested the said actions while in safe mode. The problems were the same.
    After testing, I rebooted as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verified that I still had the problems.

    I have had somewhat similar problems as Øystein Ange since upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mavericks in January. But fortunately, I have been able to solve many of them after a lot of trial & error, frustration and sweat! I now long for the more than 2 years of previous Snow Leopard usage when problems were small, few and far between, and quickly solvable. I feel as if Apple has cut me adrift and left me to struggle on my own with the seemingly numerous problems of getting the performance of Mavericks to finally stabilize on my iMac.
    Øystein's Feb. 8th post asks some of the same Mavericks questions that I still have. It would be very helpful to me, and to others I'm sure, if someone/anyone has specific suggestions or solutions on what one could/should do to fix specific problems with newly installed Mavericks OSs, short of a clean, full re-install of the OS.
    I have one admin account plus the guest account on my iMac Mavericks. Does this mean my admin account is a/the root account?! How can one tell whether or not they are logging in with a root account?! What's the distinction between the root account, a user's admin account, and other standard users' accounts?! Could someone please recommend a definitive Apple document describing all the various types of Mavericks accounts, in detail, and how/when/where/why each type should be used before or along with any of the others?
    Why is it suddenly a no-no to log on to Mavericks via the root user account, when previous OS versions had no problem with this?! What's the purpose of the root user account if not to use it to log on to the computer?! If it's so dangerous, why isn't it internally safeguarded from inadvertent logins by casual users?! What damage or harm are we talking about, and why weren't personal-use customers given a big warning about this apparent "booby trap" in Mavericks?! Saying NEVER DO THAT is like closing the barn door after the horse has already bolted, and it explains nothing to the casual user.
    We can't just do a clean re-install every time something in Mavericks hiccups?! Based on my recent experience, and on what I'm seeing in this thread, I would have had to re-installed it a half dozen times in the past 2 months alone!! That's nonsensical. There's got to be a better way of fixing a newly installed Mavericks OS than doing a re-install over and over again. Why don't the Mac diagnostic and troubleshooting tools work in Mavericks' case, as they have done for me on many occasions on earlier OS versions?! What is it about Mavericks that makes it different this time?! Could it possibly have something to do with integration of Mavericks and iCloud; and, if so, what specific cautions should the casual user observe to make sure they don't jeopardize the integrity of Mavericks by doing something similar to logging in from the root account?!
    Many customers need to be brought in out of the dark! Is there an Apple Mavericks expert out there who can advise the customer community on specifically how to apply the existing repair tools to solve specific Mavericks teething problems, without having to revert to multiple OS re-installs?

  • Error message when trying to install Mavericks onto macbook pro.

    Hi Been trying to install Mavericks onto my macbook pro (10.6.8) but the install fails after 3-5 minutes and I get this error message: *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead.
    I have tried to repair the drive through the utility function but I am told it cannot be repaired. I tried the recovery function as well but whilst I am able to select the source (external hard drive with recent time machine backup) the next screen prompts me to select the disk to restore but all it does is search for a drive and there is none there to select.
    Really not sure what else to do. Please help!

    Well some progress has been made so thought i would post what I did, in case someone experiences the same issue I did and maybe this will be of use to someone else...
    Ended up force-shutting my macbook down then switching back on, as soon as the chime could be heard i pressed command R and kept both keys pressed until Recovery mode kicked in.
    Internet Recovery came on which took approx 20 minutes (more about this here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718 )
    Then 4 options appeared
    1) recover with time machine back up
    2) set up and install Mac OSX (with the Lion icon and reference to Lion for some reason, I had Snow Leopard to begin with)
    3) get help online
    4) repair or erase disk using disk utility
    I decided to attempt to repair the drive but use the verification tool first which said the drive was fine??????!!!
    Then clicked on repair disk, this took only a few minutes then it stopped after a couple lines.
    While it was "repairing" the button changed to "stop repair" then changed back to "repair" so I took that to mean it had done what had to be done.
    Then closed the utility screen whch prompted me to restart macbook after selected a drive to boot up from (only one option came up for me)
    Did that and I was back into familiar territory and on my mac as I knew it ie snow leopard.
    I did restart macbook just to make sure and it just booted up as normal, to snow leopard with the maverick install icon still showing in the dock.
    Panic over. Not sure if / when I will give installing Maverick another try though....

  • My Early 2009 Mac Pro won't restart after installing Mavericks

    I have installed Mavericks on my Early 2009 Mac Pro and all seemed to install just fine but when I restart the Mac then it won't get past a grey screen with Apple logo. It seems that it does get reasonabley far into the startup, it gets passed the grey screen with cricling progress thingmy under the Apple logo, then it flashes very quickly and after that it is a grey screen with the Apple logo and no further.
    I did try installing Mavericks when it first came out and I had this problem so I just abandoned and reinstalled Mountain Lion from my Time Machine backup. However I thought that with Mavericks now at 9.1, maybe it would work okay this time but no change. However this time I do want to get it working because the lastest Final Cut Pro X requires Mavericks and I do a lot of video editing.
    Here are the things I've tried which have made no difference:
    Removed all peripherals, so that now nothing is plugged in except the original Apple Keyboard, my Apple trackpad and my Eizo monitor.
    I tried starting it in Safe Boot mode but this made no difference.
    I started it up in Recovery mode and it will start in Recovery mode. While in Recovery mode I checked the startup hard drive with Disk Utility, the drive is fine, as and I repaired disk permisions which made no difference.
    I zapped the PRAM.
    I connected it to my MacBook Pro in Target Disk mode and used ProSoft's Drive Genius 3 to check over the startup hard drive again and check disk permissions and all is well.
    It still will not startup
    I would be most grateful if someone could assist.

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 3
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 4
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 5
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 6
    Boot in safe mode. 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.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 7
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 8
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 9
    Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 10
    This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 11
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
