[Solved]Back from holyday updates made my computer fail (kernel panic)

Yesterday I came back from 10 day holyday and after updating quite a lot of stuff (being honest I didn't remember what since the number of packets to update was quite large) and after a reboot I got this
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3350/dsc0065vs.jpg
(sry for the bad shot but I think it's the best way to avoid errors copying lines)
and ofc even with fallback can't get to log
I hope somebody can help me since I'm a newbie so I don't know where to start to fix this
Thanks in advance

How do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

how do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or over the air with an email account that supports it, and there are several that do which are free.
Not a good idea to depend on the iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair. If the contacts are available elsewhere as designed and intended, it doesn't matter if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data.

Leopard Disk made my Mac Pro Kernel Panic

I have used original OSX 10.5 Leopard Disk to repair my mac pro HD, but it made my Mac Pro Kernel Panic. It was strange that the Mac Pro install disk one can success enter install mode!
Although I have conducted RESET PRAM procedure, the Leopard disk still made the mac Kernel Panic.

I would like to ask if you upgraded your graphics card and if so, that it might require a later OS version than the DVD.
Two, I never use the DVD to repair permissions (Apple warns users to not use the DVD to do so now with Leopard); or to repair disk drives.
You are better off setting up a bootable hard drive for emergencies; a bootable clone of your working system; and, TimeMachine, so you have more than just one backup set or method.
Kernel panics are caused by hardware otherwise, most often due to 3rd party devices and even cables, including Firewire or USB.

Installed updates FROM apple. Now I have a kernel panic

Ok, I tried to install my updates from apple. Now my Macbook just says i need to re start. I have tried to just re install the OS. It is not even allowing me to do that. It says kernel version. Darwin kernel version 9.5.1 Attempted to get Macbook fixed, but like most people, I don't want to drop $250 on the problem if i can fix it on my own. ANY help is appreciated.

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Repair permissions and then run the Repair Disk option from your install disc.
Instead of installing from Software Update, go to Apple's download site & download the rest of the downloads manually. For the OS, download the combo version.
Repair permissions after the installations and restart your computer.

User Tips: Kernel Panics

Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) caused kernel panic

I installed the Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) and Safari Update 3.1.2 and now I can't access my main startup drive +(the problem started immediately after I restarted my G4 after installing the Security Update 2008-004 -- I got the gray screen with the Apple logo, but it froze there and never got to the login screen).+
My G4 PowerBook (laptop) is running the update just fine -- no kernel panics.
I have a 2nd internal HD on my G4 (desktop) that I use for just such emergencies. The only difference is the 2nd HD does NOT have the Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) and Safari 3.1.2 update. +(Last security update was Security Update 2008-003.)+
I did gain access to my main startup HD at one point and it worked fine until I shut it down +(I unplugged all peripherals (FireWire and USB) and, somehow, got it to startup correctly, then I plugged everything back in).+
*But, the next day, I was back to square 1 when I didn't unplug all my peripherals.*
If I have to unplug everything to startup every time, then I'm going to yank my hair out!
The Mac OS Update software is surely to blame for the kernel panic, 'cause I don't have to do it for the 2nd HD without the 2008-004 Security Update.
Plus, once my G4 is up and running on the 2nd HD, I have total access to my main startup HD. TechTool Pro (v.4.1.1) found no problems with any of the files on it, including the Volumes and Finder Info files, which all tested free of any errors.
According to the not-so-helpful advice from "experts," I'll need to reinstall the MAC OS 10.4.x.
HOWEVER, I want to know if I start from my original DVD 10.4.3 install disk, what happens when I start installing all the updates, including the Security Updates?
*Do I STOP at Security Update 2008-003 (PPC)?*
Because I DON'T want to reinstall the OS or my applications over again and AGAIN!
Apple, PLEASE, fix this Security Update!

Hi again!
I'd have been asleep maybe a few hours ago, if not for
the late fireworks (from 3 PM until about 12AM) - so,
I am awake and a bit peeved at the scofflaws blasting
many illegal fireworks near my second home in the city.
(Normally, I live in a mostly quiet and beautiful mountain
area that is very Alaska; the largest city is not so nice.)
Back to your inquiry; if you start up in SafeBoot (hold
shift key down until you get Login screen and it says
SafeBoot; then login) and repair disk permissions
before installing the Combo 10.4.11 update, as a
standalone download file with the package on the
desktop; it should work.
Whether or not it would actually resolve the issue is
yet another matter. There could be an underlying
problem which may be better resolved if you could
make a bootable complete computer drive clone
of the hard disk drive contents, and either see if
a third party utility can scan and fix the hard disk
drive (if it is the problem) or you could get a new
one; and then -either way- clone back the system
onto a new or repaired hard disk drive.

{There may be some other hardware or ?? cause
behind the kernel panics and so it would be a
good idea to have a clone of your drive's content
on a bootable external FireWire enclosed HDD.
-I like mine, it has its own power supply and is
not reliant on the USB or FireWire to get power
from the computer; which could be faulty...}

I just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive and copied over a backup from time machine now I have a kernel panic message (you must restart) - what do I do now?

If you're able to boot, 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, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally 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.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

IMac 7,1 running 10.5.8 can not access recovery mode, during update to 10.6.8 kernel panic

Good day everybody.
I'm facing next issue. Having iMac v.7,1 running 10.5.8. EFI and SMC firmware update is done.
Trying to update to 10.6.8 thru bootable USB drive. After rebooting showing kernel panic. Made Apple Hardware Test (long one, took around 90 mins) no issues found. Trying booting in Single User Mode, showing "0x7" error.
My attempts to boot in Recovery Mode (cmd+r) completely ignored. Im not sure if there is one.
I tried to Boot in Recovery Mode via Bootable USB with 10.6.8 on it, holding "option" (alt) button, two scenarios, other complete ignore and keep booting to login screen OR again same Kernel Panic.
Guys need some help.
Im ready to change parts, but no idea was that HD or RAM or whatever else.
Some photos attached.
Thanks to everybody in advance.

Recovery mode is only available in Lion (10.7) and later OSs. You can only upgrade to Snow Leopard by booting with an SL disc. You can get it from http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 causes immediate kernel panic

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I have tried twice to no avail now to install the keyboard firmware update. I'm curious if anyone else has encountered this problem.
Given that I haven't had any keyboard problems, I am guessing that I can just ignore this update.
Note that contrary to the comment accompanying the installer that it will launch automatically, I had to start it manually both times.
Leopard's quality of updates has really tanked in relation to Tiger's. I have never seen a kernel panic before upgrading to Leopard... in fact, until Leopard, the kernel was so stable with Tiger that I was lulled into thinking that Macs don't have kernel panics. Leopard has provided abundant proof now to the contrary. I think that's a shame.

You should also report this to Apple at <http://www.apple.com/feedback/> so that they can check whether there is a bug in the update or somewhere else. If they receive several similar feedback messages it will alert them to a problem. Generally they don't respond directly unless they want further information such as a copy of the installation log.
You could also attempt a re-instal in safe mode (startup holding the shift key until the Apple logo appears. If you haven't recently done so use Disc Utility to Repair Permissions and see whether this finds any problems. Even startup from your installation dvd, select language, then choose Disk Utility from the top menu and Repair Disk. All of these processes may allow the installer to complete its task.
Note that some firmware updates are slow completing their tasks and usually they advise that there should be no other activity on the computer until the process has completed. I've seen it mentioned that the computer may look to have frozen but to wait - not for ever though!

Updated to Tiger and get kernel panics

Hi,
I updated my desktop G4 (quicksilver) to Tiger last week, and have suddenly started getting kernel panics. I am not sure what to do about it, other than trying to reinstall Tiger. It didn't happen the first few days of Tiger, so I am not sure it's the OS. Do I need to be worried about my drive? could i lose information with this?
I do have one bad hard drive inside the machine which crashed in November; I haven't removed it yet. Would removing that bad drive correct the issue? There is a 2nd drive in the machine that is fine and an external firewire drive that is now my main book drive.
Or could the panic be the result of peripherals, such as sound cards, MIDI gear, printer? or something like software? I use a lot of 3rd party software and have updated quite a few of them in the past week, since updating to Tiger. I did call Apple Care and they suggested removing all external devices and apps...way too much if I don't need to do it.
Help?
Thanks
Kat
G4 powermac Mac OS X (10.4.8) also have macbook intel - 10.4.8

Wow -
What an incredible answer. I am posting the panic log here, but I remembered that I recently just plugged in my MIDI yamaha clavinova to my sound card, and that's when the panics began. Could be a coincidence, but I unplugged it to see if they stop.
I will also remove the bad drive. It crashed in November. Disk first aid was unable to repair it and the genius at the apple store told me that something physically broke inside the drive, so there is no salvation for it. I was able to recover most data before it all disappeared, luckily. I just haven't gotten around to removing it and reinstalling the original apple drive.

Can't update to 10.6.8 kernel panic and pcscd.pub wrong block count

Hi there, as the title said, I cannot update to the recent 10.6.8 v1.1 (nor v1 for what it matters). All seems going fine till the iMac reboots, then a kernel panic is generated. Only way out is to reinstall 10.6.7 COMBO.
Both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior agree on the issue, they both say they have repaired and the iMac goes into kernel panic with again pcscd.pub block count error (should be 16 instead of 17). Re-installing 10.6.7 everything is happy again.
Any idea? Hard disk tests with Disk Warriors show nothing and the HD is journaled.

See
What is a kernel panic,
Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics,
Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ,
Resolving Kernel Panics, and
Tutorial: Avoiding and eliminating Kernel panics for more details.

Boot from 10.4.8 Install CD causes kernel panic

I spent 3 months convincing my boss that I would not settle for anything but a Mac for a new laptop and that I would rather use my old beat up G4 than the best Dell had to offer. My incesant begging finally worked and I got one. Not one day after taking it out of the box, I broke it.
Long story short, I installed boot camp (which was successful) and then was attempting to use Parallels to 'boot' the Boot Camp partition inside OSX (new feature in parallels apparently), of which I was not succesful. Though, everything operated ok until I rebooted, deciding I would ditch the parallels stuff for now and be satisfied with a dual booting Mac. I rebooted the Mac only to find that it would not only not boot the Mac partition, but the Windows partition failed as well.
What does work:
I can boot single-user mode fine on the mac partition, but if I try to 'mount -uw /' I get a kernel panic.
Doing a 'diskutil list' just hangs as do other diskutil commands.
I can successfuly boot a windows install cd.
What doesn't work:
I can't boot the Tiger install DVD that came with the laptop (fails with a grey screen after a minute or so of loading). Reviewing it in verbose mode (command-v after selecting the cd) indicates that it also ends in a kernel panic similar to booting the mac partition (though I don't know if it's exactly the same).
Anyone got any ideas? I'm fine with formating the entire disk and starting fresh but I can't get it to boot from the install DVD.
Should I 'erase' the disk from single user mode and retry? I'm afraid do destroy the only maintenance interface I have.
If details of the specific panics would help, I'd be happy to try to copy them.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I fear I'm going to have to show up at work on monday only to report that the brand new laptop of which its' unsurpassed stability I've been preaching about for months, is not working. How humiliating.
thanks,

Rustin--
Would this be covered under the complimentary 90 day
service if it's not a hardware issue?
I'm pretty sure it would, but I can't say for sure. The only fly in the ointment might be that Boot Camp seems to be involved, so I don't know how they'll react when that topic comes up. Boot Camp isn't really supported, I think, since it's pre-release. But, on the other hand, you should still be able to boot from the DVD and wipe the hard drive if you want.
I have a store
near me that I bought my first G4 from but have never
gone there for support. Should I get there early in
the morning for this?
Is it an actual Apple Store? Look in the list under the center picture on this page:
http://www.apple.com/buy/
If so, go to its page and click the link just above the calendar to make your reservation. Then just show up at the store a little bit before the reservation time, in case they're running ahead.
If it's not a corporate store, I'm not sure what to do.

None of the updates could be installed. Kernel panic

Today I tried to install the two updates that apple had in store for me:
IPhoto
Thunderbolt
The installer asked me to reboot and I said yes.
After a while, the installer said:
None of the updates could be installed.
I pressed the only button: restart
After staring at the canvas background for over 5 minutes, I hard-rebooted the iMac.
Now I get a kernel panic when I boot!!!
What to do?
iMac 2011
Mac os x. Latest update
Wouter

Ditto for me: kernel panic...repeatedly.
What do I do if I am running Lion Server?! When I attempt to reinstall Lion it tells me:
"You cannot install Mac OS X on a server volume. You need to use Disk Utility to erase this volume before you can continue to install Mac OS X."
Well, I don't want to erase my volume...so how do I recover?
Thanks for any help, it is much, much appreciated.

HT6541 How do I get my pictures back from the update? They were photos synced from my previous phone and now they are gone. Please help!

i Just got an iPhone and I did not have icloud or iTunes yet. My photos from my previous phone were synced to my new phone and after the update they all disappeared. Please help me recover my pictures

If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup). If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost. Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your photos are lost too.
If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

Syncing back from iPod to iTunes in computer

computer does not recognize my iPod Touch as device and cannot sync from iPod back to it after op system reinstall

Does the iPod work?
If not
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I get my old apps back from before update

I need my paid apps back but I can't find them

If you created a backup, you can restore from that.
Launch iTunes. From the menu bar, click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
If there's a backup available, you'll see it there.
And, you can see your Apps under Library on the left side of the iTunes window.
And go to the App Store on your iPod. Find a previously downloaded app. You should be able to re download without repurchasing.
