Two issues: iMac randomly reboots after watching Netflix, and left fan randomly turns on

Two issues: iMac goes into kernel panic and reboots after watching Netflix in HD, and left cooling fan randomly starts. Is this RAM or logic board?
Specs:
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac12,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
Processor Speed:          3.1 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          20 GB
Boot ROM Version:          IM121.0047.B1F
SMC Version (system):          1.72f2
The fan issue has been there for a while, but the kernel panics, AKA crash and reboots started after I got new Crucial RAM for the 2nd time (returned and replaced the two 8GB sticks, because the crashes were worse). Are the chances that I got 2nd batch of RAM likely, or is there logic board issue here?

You should post the most recent panic report. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742

My iPod 4 (2010) randomly reboots after 5.1.1 upgade to iOS6 (WDT timeout).

My iPod 4 (2010) randomly reboots after 5.1.1 upgrade to iOS6 (WDT timeout).
After reboot I cannot power it with Power Button. Have to do Power + Mac, hold to 10 sec and than it will go ON. After 1 minute when it will go to sleep it will start randomly reboots.
Diagnostics & Usage Data log is shoving multiple "panic" error with Debug message "WDT timeout".
Any Advice what is wrong? With 5.1.1 it was running like charm.
Very disappointing.

Try the following:
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

When I first attached a cable from iphone6 to hdmi on tv, I was able to read kindle on tv. After watching movies and playing Pandora from iphone to tv through the cable, I can no longer read kindle through it. What settings do I need to change?

Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-...
You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:

Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.

Unfortunately, only adobe can help you with that, as most people here are just posters such as your self and don't work for adobe.
If you go here and use the Chat now button (bottom of page), they should get you up and running by resetting your activations.

My screen stays in landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to portrait like all other video sites (Amazon Prime) does. Any way to fix?

My screen stays in Landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to Portrait like other video sites like Amazon Prime does. It is not locked so I don't know why this happening. Any help is appreciated.

I can't swear to this because I do not have the Netflix app, but I believe that the most recent upgrade to the app requires you to watch the movies in landscape mode now and it cannot be changed.

Ipad 3 randomly reboots after last update

Last night I updated the IOS to 6.1
now the Ipad randomly reboots
Even when it sits idle

Same issue with my iPad 3. Happened with 6.1.3 and still happens after upgrade to 7.
It's nearly full, perhaps that's contributing to the problem. Apple doesn't seem to know how to do memory management properly, nor QA, for that matter.
Also, they conveniently forego the troubleshooting tools present on other platforms. So the only way to get some insight is to bring it to the "Genius". Problems with that approach are: most often, the "Genius" isn't that bright a bulb and won't find (or won't be willing to spend time to search for) the root cause. Also, they now require an appointment, and that's a major PITA. I just don't have the time to deal with them and their ways to disguise shortage of qualified support resources under fancy terms.. My next portable device will be a slate!

Random reboots after upgrade to mavericks

I recently upgraded from Lion to Mavericks (from App Store), and now my iMac reboots at random. The developer preview had similar issues, but there was a preview update that resolved this issue. The iMac is a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 16GB RAM. I didn't have this issue under Lion.

I also have issues with kernel panics since upgrading to 10.9, occuring randomly, at average 5 x a day of use (mid 2010 MB Pro 6,2, 8 GB Ram).
Already the install was near to impossible due to kernel panics. Did not have this before. I did a clean install from a selfmade bootable usb drive, because 10.9 would not install over the previous system with lots of diverse problems (unable to install on hd etc.) this was a very bumpy ride so far.
Bought a new hdd because was suspecting that (now from 320 GB Hitachi to 256 GB Sandisk SSD). I attach my latest panic report. Maybe anyone has a clue? I am not so much into the matter. Hopefully 10.9.1. will resolve this and the update will be released today ;-)
Will think twice about doing a .0 upgrade next time (actually I skipped both lion and ML for stability concerns, and now: voilà).
Any help will be appreciated

Can't get imac to reboot after it locked up

hello,
did a hard shut down and can't get imac to reboot, all i get is the spinning wheel.
the computer is about 6 years old and i recently upgraded to leopard.
the system seems to be running more slow in recent months.
is there a way i can reboot it using the leoplard disc? if so how?
thanks, Owen

Try this to start:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Droid Random Reboot After OS Update

I have a Droid 2. The phone ran an OS update. Android version 2.3.3. System version 4.5.601.A995.Verizon.en.US. Build number 4.51_57_DR2-31
Randomly, when I wake up the phone from sleep and touch the screen it forces a reboot.
Also, and randomly when I power down the phone, it looks like it is off but a few seconds later it boots on again.
Has anyone has been experiencing a similar problem? This didn't happen before the OS update.

I am having issues with random reboots. It happens several times a day, twice so far in 4 hours this morning. If I am some place I would normally put the phone on silent, I have to remove the battery because the reboots are not silent. My screen will also freeze at times and a battery removal is the only cure. Sometimes during a reboot, it will hang on R2D2 and again, a battery removal is the only recourse. I was going to attempt a factory reset but since I see that hasn't worked for some, I may not bother. It is a time-consuming process.

SBS 2011 Standard SP1 - Randomly rebooting after svchost crash

Last week 10/22, my SBS 2011 server began restarting randomly anywhere from every 2 hours to as long as every 4 hours. In reviewing the logs, it appears that an svchost process crashes (in Application log) which surrounds ntdll.dll and then many services
crash and the System log shows a request by RPC to restart the server.
I have seen similar threads but none of them end up with a solution or viable suggestion.
No changes were made to the server on that day but since this began, I have installed all updates to drivers and the OS but no change.

Hi John,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm whether do any change (install any update or third-party
application) before this issue occurred?
On current situation, please run
sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files. Would you please let me know whether you updated the BIOS and the hardware drivers? Please check if drivers need to be updated and Windows Updates need to be installed. If possible, please perform
a clean boot and check if this crash issue still exists.
In addition, troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to analyze the crash dump file to narrow down the root cause of the issue. Please refer to following articles
and check if can help you to analyze dump files.
Crash dump analysis using the Windows debuggers (WinDbg)

Random Reboots, way too hot and rapid battery drain...

This is by far the worst phone i ever had. I got the phone a couple a days a go, no apps installed and turned off WIFI, NFC, and BT. Still, the battery lasts for max 4 hours, and thats standby. I also does random reboots and it's pretty warm until I completly shut it down. About 39 degrees celsius. There is no availible update for the phone. I've done several factory resets, but nothing seems to work. Where is the Blackberry support lines for Norway ? I havn't been able to locate any norwegian suport what so ever.. This is too bad for a company like RIM. I'll tell you what. I'll return this crappy piece of **bleep**t first thing in the morning on monday, and I'll never buy a Blackberry again. I cannot sit and wait for a update. I expect the phone to work nice out of the box, and this phone doesnt. I'll buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 instead.

Yes, I got the phone a couple a days ago, and due to non-working entrerprise-activation, I've done a couple of resets. Finaly I got the enterprise-functions up and running, but now I have all other sort of problemes.
And why would I cause all syncing ? I just sit back and watch the battery meter run low. I don't even use it for nothing.
You said "several factory resets, not a couple. Make up your mind.
tidyboy0558 wrote:
I cannot call Telenor for blackberry support. Thing are a little different in Norway.
"things" are not different in Norway. The "thing" is that you are paying Telnor for support and you aren't getting it. You need to demand that they escalate your issues to BlackBerry Technical support. With your monthly service you are paying them for support.
tidyboy0558 wrote:
About the OS update, when I try to update OTA,the phone keeps on saying that there is no update availible...
Please, don't waste your time, if you feel like that. I'll return the device anyway. I'm complaining because the device does not meet my expectations, ether the product spesifications, and RIM does not offer ANY kind of support in Norway, even they selling their products here. Hopefully someone at RIM will read this.
Again, please don't waste your time.
lol, why are YOU wasting your time coming here to whine and complain about something you have no idea what you're speaking of?

Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared. This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch." I purchased the entire season and had watched one show. It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5.
About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook. while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing.
Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass. After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available.
I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs. I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time. Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering.
Any ideas?

This may help

As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p

Is there a cable I can use for iPad one to watch Netflix and play apps on my HDTV? I bought the hdmi connector but it only works on iPad 2.

I bought the hdmi and didn't realize you can only use it for iPad 2. I want to be able to watch Netflix through my iPad 1. And also play my apps on my big screen is there any cable out that will let me do this on my iPad 1.

Unfortunately, that's a limit with the original iPad.

3GS randomly reboots after 5.0.1 (WDT timeout)

Hi all,
I have since a few months a 3GS which was in 4.x, and never had any problem of any kind.
I upgraded to 5.0.0 when this released was issued, no problems while upgrading, and although I noticed my battery lasted less, I had no major issue.
When 5.0.1 was released, I was happy to notice it addressed some battery issues, so I quickly updated my 3GS.
Since the first 5.0.1 I experienced 3 to 5 minutes constant hard reboots, ie after 3 to 5 minutes, even while doing nothing, the iphone powersoff and on (apple logo) and reboots, forever. (battery charge was >85%)
If I removed the sim, or put the phone in airplane mode, the reboots disappear.
I then tried a restore from iTunes, thinking an app may be the problem, and after the restore, I had no single reboot ... for 3 days !
One afternoon, It started rebooting every 1 to 1h30 hours...it did so 5 times that day. And after these 5 times, no single reboot for 3 another days.
Last night, to try some battery tests, I let it drop to 5% battery charge, and switched off, then switched on. Since then, 3 minutes systematic reboots.
I had to put it on airplane mode to prevent this.
I noticed the reboot always causes a "panic.plist" log in the event logs, which error is a WDT timeout (the log enumerates tens of processes and is truncated...)
The number of applications in use at the moment is not changing the behaviour, I can have 20 open apps or nothing, the phone reboots.
I'll try another restore, but seems a weird issue, with the carrier or when the phone tries to hangup on a cell..
If someone has any clue ?..

I also having exactly the same problem as what you described (panic with wdt timeout....) The reboot seems to be random. Airplane mode with wifi on is okay (no reboot).
However, I noticed I have this problem 2 days ago while I still using ios 5.0. Then I install 5.0.1 and restore my data from icloud backup. I did not get any reboot while the phone slowly restore my 1000+ photos from icloud until it completed 900+ photos. Then it start to crash again and again and again. Now, I swtiched to airplane mode and it seems to be okay. However, we should be able to make/receive a call with iphone, right? It's not ipod touch.
I'm from Thailand. Carrier is AIS. Nothing to do with Orange. My phone is 3gs unlock.
