What causes the dreaded black window?

The dreaded black window ("You have to restart ...") started showing up on the eMac about 2 months ago, about the time I upgraded to OS 10.4.11. However, it also showed up when I ran Panther off another disk. I bought the iMac G5 and installed OS 10.4.10. The black window comes up there every two or three days.
Does anyone know what might be the primary cause? Today I got it twice on the iMac, the second time while booting from the first crash.

You are experiencing a Kernel Panic as seen and described in Apple doc.#106227.
Here's more help if you need it.
Please do all the steps in order, even if you don't think you need to do a certain step.

  • HT201401 What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power?

    What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power? I have cleared the open icons and it works for one day then shuts down again.

    Software hiccup, glitch or maybe faulty battery. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if this helps. If still problem that you think is serious enough to fix, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • What is the little black gauge on the upper left of the desktop?

    What is the little black gauge on the upper left of the desktop?  I just received my Omni 10 and set it up today. The screen (desktop) has this stupid black bar (gauge) on it that reads 100. I cannot move it, close it, or figure out what it does. Can any one help?
    Thanks.. sometimes we old guys are a little slower to learn new stuff

    This question was solved.

    I spotted your request when it was 1st posted, but I haven't experienced the 'phenomenon' myself so I've been waiting for someone who had, to post a fix — possibly saving you from some troubleshooting steps...
    If you've already found a solution, updating your original post might help steer others to that solution in the future. On the other hand, we can proceed to trying a few things to narrow-down what's causing that "stupid black" blight on your tablet's screen:
    Right-off, regardless of the cause — just shutting-down then restarting your tablet may correct the issue; if the bar persists after that, you might check via Task Manager to identify a likely suspect under Startup items. Your description suggests a battery gadget or an app which uses the built-in microphone displaying the mic's sensitivity setting — possibly Skype or other 'social media' software. 
    Please update this thread with your current status re. this issue...

  • What cause the ZEN Touch 2 to freeze?

    Hello,
    I've (finally) received my ZEN Touch 2 with GPS two days ago, and it truly is a fantastic MP3 Player. But guess what? Today, for the first time, it really did froze, using the N64oid emulator. When the ZEN is lagging, I'm simply waiting, and it work like a charm a few seconds later. But now, it was completely frozen. Touch Screen, Power button... Tried connecting to computer, no reaction.
    So in a bad mood, I tried reseting the unit, which I'm obviously not suposed to do often, I had a hard time. First, the reset hole is way too tiny!? Even with a paper clip or a pencil mine, this is ridiculously hard!? First, I even used the wrong hole, I though this was the reset hole, so yeah, the paper clip got inside the ZEN... Truly awesome. After all, I managed to remove it.
    And then, seemed like I got it, ZEN resetted, when I thought it was completely screwed, only two days after I received it!
    It seems to work correctly, now. Needless to saw I deleted the data, application and ROMs of N64oid, the right way (Along with PSXoid, which I haven't tested, but is probably similar.). When I first tried Super Mario 64, it was playable, at an OK speed. But today, I tried others ROMs, like Donkey Kong 64, or Tony Hawks Pro Skater, without a doubt, that was asking too much from the ZEN, since I couldn't pass the main menu.
    So now I really hope my ZEN will last,?Creative. I'm in Quebec, got it from California. Needed to ship it to Plattsburgh by Amazon.com, and to be fowarded to my house, since you unfortunately do not ship to Canada.
    I still have a one year warrantee, but undestand me, I?absolutely wouldn't want to ship it to Creative?in?the US, then get it shipped back to Plattsburgh, and then to my home. That'll cost me hell (Again)!
    Alright,?I'll?now like to know what cause the ZEN Touch 2 to freeze? In my case, that was the emulator that was too advanced for the ZEN (And since it doesn't support multi-touch, it's hardly playable without a USB keyboard or gamepad (Possible?), or Wiimote). ?I don't have applications running?in the backgroung, only one at a time.
    How can I avoid my ZEN to freeze again?
    Oh yes, one more question. Why when I start some applications, it instantly shut ("The application [...] (process com [...] has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.") ? How can I fix this?
    Thanks for the reply.

    )?Thanks for the reply.
    I unistalled many 3rd Party APPs (Only /3 were booting, anyways), and I can already see a huge difference with the fluidity of the menu. It's also turning on faster.
    I already uninstalled N64oid, but kept the others 2D emulators, never had a problem with them, they run without lagging.
    What's odd, however, I downloaded Firefox from ZiiO Space, ran it, and the ZEN went pretty much crazy; black screen, I tried to get back to the menu, pressing buttons and all that, and then the ZEN vibrated like hell, perhaps because I pressed the buttons a lot of time. I finally made it, without resetting, but that was freaking scary. Oo
    Uninstalled Firefox. I find it strange that I downloaded it from ZiiO Space, and that it doesn't work like normal.
    I'll try to be more careful while downloading APPs, if I can.
    I appreciate the reply.

  • What causes the Missing or invalid version of SQL library PSORA (200,0)?

    What causes the Missing or invalid version of SQL library PSORA (200,0) in PeopleTools 8.51 Application Designer?

    Could be several things. Bad path, bad version, etc. give us details on your client install. What Oracle client do you have installed. App Designer is 32 bit. If you installed the 64 bit client you might get this error. What OS are you using. PeopleTools version? guessing 8.51 from your other post.

    Hi All,
    What is the difference between Windows Workflow Activities And SharePoint Workflow Activities in Workflows?
    Thanks in Advance!

    Hi,
    Both are developed with .NET framework, per my knowledge, the biggest difference would be the environment they applied to: one for Windows platform, one for SharePoint platform:

  • The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side?

    The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side? Also the the Mozilla Firefox tab on the upper left hand corner changed.
    Its was a red colored tab and now its blue in color. I did not change any thing!

    Hey jimmiet,
    There were some recent ui changes around the downloads manager. What version where you on before? Anyway, you can customize things in Firefox really easily. Take a look at [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|this article on customizing Firefox]] for details. Should be a piece of cake to move the bookmarks button.
    As for the color of the button, you might be in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing]] mode. That changes the color of the button from orange to a purplish color.

  • What causes the display to develop darkened areas?

    What causes the display to develop darkened areas?

    Have you dropped the iPad?
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • What is the "Imported Namespaces" window in Visual Studio Project Properties (VB)

    Hi trogan,
    This is the official document Description from
    How to: Add or Remove Imported Namespaces (Visual Basic):
    Imported namespaces are managed on the References page of the Project Designer. The imports you specify in this dialog box are passed directly to the compiler (/imports) and apply to all files in your project.
    But I think we could understand it better with this document:

  • What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book?

    What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book? And how do I get out of it?

    The Finder is just assigning the wrong kind and icon to what I presume are plist files. Often rebuilding the Launch Services will cure this, but sometimes Finder gets a strange bee in its bonnet about some particular combination of characteristics and what they mean, and it can't be dissuaded. Unless you are opening plist files, and get really annoyed when you double click one and Address Book launches and announces "wrong type of file" you can just ignore it. In my own ~/Library/Prefences folder plists are generally labeled correctly, probably because I have them assigned to open with Apple's own Property List Editor. But there are some other preferences that Finder has decided are something altogether different than what they are: WingNuts Prefs and Saved Games are both believed to be Eudora preferences; a whole batch of other prefs from a dozen differenct programs are described as TextWrangler preferences, and there's a another group thought to be Unix Executables. As long as the program they belong to isn't having a problem finding and writing to them, don't worry about it.

    You need to continue with the Recovery...
    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...
