System restarts during installation of Mac OS 10.3

To start off, this is my system:
1.33 GHz PowerBook G4
2GB RAM
80GB HD
About six months ago my PowerBook began freezing when I would have it running solely on battery power. It would give me the "You must restart your system" message. At first I thought it was the battery, so instead of buying a new battery, I just used my machine on AC power. That is, until two weeks ago. I began seriously looking into buying a new battery, so before I did that I wanted to make sure it was indeed my battery. Turns out it wasn't. It was a kernal panic. Knowing nothing about kernal panics, I did some research and went through all of the tests to find the problem. I ran the hardware test that came with my restore dics. Everything checked out fine, even the RAM (which I thought might be the problem since it was third party after-market RAM). Finally I tried freeing up considerable hard drive space. PROBLEM SOLVED! I could run off of battery power. But I did read that the last resort is alway a clean install of Mac OS X. Because I wanted to make **** sure that this problem did reoccur, I decided to do a clean install using the restore discs that came with my system. Everything started just fine. It checked the installation disc and began installing 10.3. That is, for about 5 minutes. At that time the system appeare to restart. it showed the grey start up screen. But it stayed at that screen... all night long. After doing a hard retart, I tried installing it again. This time is gave me a kernal panic (system froze, text appeared down the screen detailing stuff I couldn't understand). So for two weeks I've been battling this installation. Sometimes it restarts and freezes, sometimes I get a kernal panic. I'm at a loss here. I have no idea what the problem is. And the worst part is, I don't know how to get the restore disc out.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Here are a couple of articles on kernel panics that might help.
1. What's a "kernel panic"? (Mac OS X)
2. Resolving Kernel Panics
It is never a good idea to install before resolving issues with the computer. The first order of business is to determine what is causing the kernel panics and see if it can be resolved, then to the installation.
Good luck.

  • Premiere elements 13 restart during installation

    I've been trying to install the Premiere Elements 13 trial.  I've tried 5 or 6 times, and each time the installer forces a restart while trying to install Microsoft Visual C++  2012 redistributable package.  After the restart the installation does not complete, there is no icon, and if I try to re-run the installer I get a "Installer Failed to Initialize" error message. 
    Premier Elements 13 does appear in the "Uninstall a Program" listing of the control panel.  But it requires that I install Application Manager to tell me it can not uninstall the program.  If I run Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner it does see Premier Elements 13, and I can clean Elements 13 successfullly, but all that enables me to do is re run the installer, which still restarts at the same point. 
    I've even tried running system restore to reset the system to before I tried to install the first time.  I'm spinning in circles here, and any help is appreciated.  As a long time Lightroom user I was hoping to try Elements 13 to see if I want to purchase. 
    Also note I'm running on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (core i7) running Windows 8.1.  Thanks.

  • The user name or password is incorrect in the CRM system checks during installation

    Hi everyone
    I'm installing CRM 2013 on 2 servers (server 2012) - CRM Full server + SQL Server 2012.
    I created 2 service accounts for this - CRMSVC + CRMSANDBOX (one for sandbox and another one for all the rest).
    I'm getting the following error in the system checks during setup:
    I've verified a billion times that the service accounts and passwords are valid - I even tried using different service accounts - same problem. As for now I also added the service accounts to the local admins groups just to be sure that it's not some permissions
    issue (I also added them to the 'log on as service' & performance logs groups). 
    If i try to use NETWORK SERVICES instead of a service account - the installation goes through flawlessly - no issues at all.
    I'm also gonna say that i tried another installation on a fresh server - SAME ISSUE.
    So for now my ideas are either it's a GPO somehow blocking the service accounts - or some kind of other security issue.
    I also found out that the security event log shows these two errors when these show up in the system checks:
    Inside i found 'NULL SID' entry - it does not recognize the service accounts account and 0xC0000064 in the Sub
    Status Codes
    It's not a typo issue so don't bother - if i write a wrong password in purpose - it actually says that the password i typed for domain\service account is incorrect - here it seems that the service account is not being recognized.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    Not sure you understood my point.
    The installation process necessarily runs under the account of the installing user. The installation will query AD to identify information about the service accounts, and will add them to the relevant CRM AD groups. It is possible that the installing user
    account does not have sufficient privileges on the AD objects for the service accounts to be able to identify them, and to add them to groups. This scenario is consistent with the errors that you get, and also with being able to install CRM to run under NetworkServices
    (which doesn't have its own AD object)

    Hi David
    I understand this, but as far as i know running it under NETWORK SERVICES will add the machine names to the OU security groups - hence the user installing still needs to have delegated permissions on that OU. Anyway as mentioned above - ignoring the checks
    and running the installation solved this and also added the accounts to the security groups - so this whole mess looks like some bug to me - not sure i will ever find out what it was :)

  • ITunes won't install on my system: error during installation of assembly

    Hey everyone. I've been living a nightmare for the past month. I tried to upgrade my system to Windows7 x64 and had major CPU problems. After nearly a month of trying to fix it, I decided to go back to Vista x64. That solved my CPU problem, but now I can't get iTunes to load!
    Here the error message I get during installation:
    An error occurred during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32"version="8.0. 50727.762",processArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424
    Any ideas??

    Doublechecking something, paradox. Head into your Windows Update and have a look at your Update History. Have updates also been failing for you? If so, what error code shows up for the failed updates?
    (Doubleclick the failed updates to see a small window with more information, including the error codes.)

  • Can DiskUtility access the network during installation of Mac OS X?

    Hi,
    I am currently backing up my system using SuperDuper .dmg images and store these on a network server. To restore a system from such an image, I am supposed to start Disk Utility during OS X setup. My question is: Can Disk Utility access the network to access the image on a server or would I have to copy the image to a mobile hard disk first and have DiskUtility access the image there?
    Thanks

    no ideas anyone?

  • Computer restarted during installation

    I was installing Flash Professional CS6 when my computer restarted itself for an update. It froze and then I had to turn it off. When I turned it back on, I opened up the Application Manager again and it said it wa installed already. I ran searches and looked my computer head to toe but I can't find Flash anywhere.
    Then I realized I hadn't chosen an install location.
    What do I do now?

    Hi,
    How exatly you downloaded the Falsh Pro CS 6 ?
    From Cloud or from Adobe.com ?
    Try to remove the adobe applications using the Cleaner tool  : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    After cleaning, try to set the install path and then download and install again.
    Hope it helps !!

  • Elements 13 - PC Restarts During Installation of Visual C++   2012

    Hi,  I have a new laptop running 8.1, and Elements 13 installation always stops at the point it tries to install Visual C++ 2012, which I already have installed.
    I've tried google and nothing has worked.  I've tried creating a new user account, reinstalling Visual C++ separately, running setup.exe as administrator.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cherie.

    This means the DLLs are in use by another process/ program and cannot be deregistered/ re-registered. We seriously can't know, but tools like Sysinternals' Process Explorer might help you track down the program that holds those DLLs captive.

  • System Crash during ERP 2005 (ECC 6.0) SR2 ABAP+JAVA installation

    Hi all,
    I am fairly new to this fascinating world of SAP BASIS and recently got hit by an issue which I faced during an ERP 2005 SR2 (ECC 6.0) ABAP+JAVA installation.
    My Installation Particulars:
    1. OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 (32-bit)
    2. DB: Oracle 10.2.0.2
    3. RAM: 2 GB
    4. Installation type: LOCAL and CENTRAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION.
    I have tried the installation thrice and each time the IMPORT ABAP step (phase 18) comes, 3 parallel IMPORT JOBS runs and after few of them completes the system restarts or crashes abruptly. So as a matter of fact, the R3LOAD which were running had to stop without getting completed, so whenever I start from old installation, the INSTALLATION MASTER throws error and I had to start a new installation. then again, during this phase the system/server/computer crashes.
    The minimum RAM requirement for this ERP installation is 3 GB, so probably 2 GB is not being able to cope up the pressure of the R3LOAD jobs...well, i am not sure of that!
    During the parameter specification, at the DATABASE EXPORT screen I have specified 3 parallel jobs. Well, the question which I have are as follows:
    1. Will I reduce the number of PARALLEL JOBS to 1 or 2, without going with the default value of 3, in order to avoid these crashes?
    2. Can I still install the SAP with 2 GB RAM?
    Please do help...

    Thanks everyone for your valuable replies.
    Well, as far as the OS is concerned, this version (ERP 2005 SR2), is compatible on 32-bit OS also. I am confirmed because I have done this installation on different machines also, prior to this installation, where my OS was 32 bit, but RAM was 4 GB. That is why, I am presuming this to be a hardware issue.
    By CRASH, I mean during that step the computer shuts down abruptly by itself.
    Well, I am starting the installation again, by specifying only 1 parallel job. Let's see if it works or not! If it doesn't then I will have to increase the RAM surely.
    Anyways, if you have anymore informations to share regarding this issue please feel free. I will soon post the UPDATE on this thread.
    Thanks and Happy New Year to all of you.

  • Trying to install iTunes and get this error: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured   Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"

    HELP!!!
    I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop and get this error:
    "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured   Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"
    Arghhhhh!! I've tried different browsers and various other things suggested on other posts to no avail  

    Ok people, I think I have found the solution !
    If you click on the start button from your desktop screen.
    Then in the "search programs and files" field type : apple software update - you can find the apple installer.
    Click on the apple software update line and let the machine run it's course. I recommend updating whatever it wants to , ie: safari 5, quicktime, itunes....
    I then restarted my computer and it seems to be working now !
    Good luck everyone !
