Why do I get a kernel panic during large downloads?

Since I got my new MacBook Pro, it's been doing kernel panics during large file downloads.
Getting rid of Chrome seemed to help but today the panics are back. I just started up in Safe Boot mode and the downloads (two files, approx. 500 and 300 MB, respectively) completed downloading without incident.
While I'm checking out my startup items, has anyone else seen this problem? I didn't have this problem with my Core 2 Duo.

I took a look at the dump and saw a reference to an Elmedia Player kext. I remembered that in another thread someone mentioned this giving some trouble, I uninstalled it. I'll keep an eye on it to see if the problem comes back.
Here's what I've got:

Why do I get a kernel panic every time I unplug my g17 and use battery?

My laptop has given me fits for a longtime, so much that I usually use it more like a desktop and try never to disconnect the ac power. Every time I unplug and use the computer's battery, it works fine for a while, then eventually I get a kernel panic.
Sometimes, it's so bad, I have to force quit/restart up to 10 times for the laptop to start up again. Sometime it starts, but the screen doesn't.
I used to love this computer, now it's a pain...
Thanks.

Why did I get a Kernel Panic?

I got my first Kernel Panic on my early 2013 15' Retina Macbook Pro while browsing in Google Chrome. I've had many system freezes in the past, where I can't even force quit, and can only hard reboot.
I've attached the log file for the kernel panic below. Could someone be so kind as to tell me its cause and how I could potentially recreate it?

Use the uninstallers that came with the software. Hard to know exactly where they are. True .kexts are in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

Why do i get frequent kernel panics on my G4?

I got bought this powermac g4 and it had no os, so what i did was formated the HD-took about 4 hours to format and wipe clean the HD. After that i did a fresh install on OS X 10.4-that went well. Then i did the updates to make it from 10.4 to 10.4.11 and thats when i got the 1st kernel panic. I shutdown and replaced the ram (thinking that would be the problem) with two chip set of 512MB making it 1GB. That still didnt fix the issue i still got another kernel panic. Next i reseted the PRAM and no luck still kernel's appear. I cant figure out what the problem only that maybe it could be the HD. Well the HD is a SCSI type so it makes it an external HD ( that what the system profile tells me) and i do not have an internal ATA in the machine to test it out. I need some help im frustrated i would love to use my g4 instead of my g3.

Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html
Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, kbd & mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
May be a solution on one of these links.
Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ

Resolving Kernel Panics
Avoiding and eliminating Kernel panics
12-Step Program to Isolate Freezes and/or Kernel Panics
To check that RAM isn't a problem, look at this link: *Testing RAM* @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM
Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
A couple of Tips.
1. Before you install an update, ALWAYS repair permissions using Disk Utility. (Did you do this?) Then after the update is installed, repair permissions again.
2. I only use the Software Update window to determine what System related software is available for update. I don't use the auto update feature because there could be the possibility of a data "glitch" during download, which results in system startup/operational problems. Then I go to Apple site & download the update file. Then I install it.
For an update to an application, like iTunes, I use the auto update. If there is a problem with the update, you can reinstall the application, but it doesn't cause startup problems.
 Cheers, Tom
PS - Did you check to see if your Mac required a firmware (Boot ROM version in System Profiler) update. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 If an update is required, the update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install OS X.

Why do I get a Kernel panic when moving files to my desktop?

I am running Lion10.7.4. I have started to notice an annoying problem when I copy files to my deskdop from an email attachment or external drive. As I am moving them I get a split second "checkerboard" pattern on my screen. Any thoughts from anyone as to whats going on to cause this? Thanks!

Performed a TechTool diagnostic last night. Got passing grades on all benchmark tests. I wonder if it has anything to do with a firmware issue. I am having trouble upgrading to the newest EFI version for Lion. Got a call into Apple support for a chat. Thanks for your help!

Kernel panic during downgrade attempt from Lion to Snow Leopard

Hi guys,
I am experiencing two issues with Lion so I decided to downgrade to Snow Leopard using my Time Machine backup.
So I rebooted, held the option key down, booted from recovery disk, selected the option to select a time machine backup. I picked the latest 10.6.8 save.
Then, I waited for recovery... After completion, I noticed that I could not access my System Preferences anymore in SL. So I realised that I should have done the first steps using the option from the SL disk instead of the recovery disk.
I restarted with the SL disk in, tried to boot from the disk and got a scary kernel panic every time I tried (right when it tried to boot from the SL disk). I do not know what to do, I simply want to go back to SL backup (from my time machine) before Lion upgrade.
But, my only option to boot up is with a Lion DVD...
Any help would be greatly welecomed!
Thanks!

Just wanted to let you all know that I figured out why I was getting the kernel panic error: I was using an old SL upgrade DVD (the very first that was available in Apple stores when SL came out) instead of the install DVD that came with my iMac.
I just tried to boot from the right DVD and it worked fine. This thread can be marked as resolved.
Thanks!

Kernel Panic during Installation

Recently, Tiger (in my macbook) has been experiencing crazy problems. Programs refuse to start, quit suddenly, the OS X get kernel panics, and other issues. So I went to the this Apple message board and ask. I tried various solutions; they all work, BUT the problems would return and new ones arise. The main solution was reparing disk and its permissions. It worked at first but troubles persist. So then I decided to reinstall Tiger through archive and install. It almost finished but once it was setting up iwork, everything stopped for an hour until I manually shut the computer down. I attempted another try, same problem. So I moved onto erase and install. Everything worked out well until I came to the setup info screen. Things were going fine until BAM, kernel panic. I shut down the mac again and it loads os x. Now i'm afraid things will repeat itself. How often would one get a kernel panic during installation (in this case info setup)? I just want everything normal.
Mac mini, MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB, 1.25GB Ram (respectively)

How often
would one get a kernel panic during installation (in
this case info setup)?
Um...never? Kernel Panics are never something you should encounter on any sort of regular basis. Sounds like it could be a bad hardware component, most likely the RAM. Has it been upgraded since you got it?
Anyway, I'd take it to an Apple Store or get on the line with AppleCare asap.

Why, even after reinstalling everything, do I get frequent kernel panics?

I get frequent kernel panics, and nearly all of my applications crash on a regular basis.
Re-installing my system software and every application has done nothing to solve this problem.
I'm running Snow Leopard on a 7-year old intel imac.
Could this be a power supply problem?
Help!

Hi WZZZ,
This is my log for today's events. I simply copied and pasted everything dated September 30.
Is there a better way to display this information?
It looks like multiple things are happening here:
- Suitcase Fusion is a font-management utility.
- Partition Terra is a portable Hard Drive which contains backed-up files as well as applications.
Thanks for your help,
David

Kernel panic during Leopard 10.5.3/4 net-installation

Hi,
We have built universal Leopard images on net-install server. I am getting kernel panic during net-installation of 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 images on old iMac bubble G4 machines. These images's net-installation works perfect on latest machines like G5, Intel MacPro, iMac G5.
I am not getting any problem with 10.5.2 image with this old bubble machine. But this problem occurs only after 10.5.3 images. Here is a small part panic trace, (Sorry, I couldn't get full trace since there was no way to copy it)

Hi Rohit;
It appears your Leopard question has been posted in the OS 9 forum. You might have a better chance for an answer if you report over in the Leopard forum.

10.4.5 to 10.4.6; now Kernel Panic during boot

I upgraded my G4 tower last thursday to 10.4.6 and then shut it down for the weekend. Now eveytime I try to boot, I get a Kernel Panic either during the boot or within a few minutes / seconds of logging in.
Is this something that can be fixed with the Disk Utility? Could it be a hardware issue?
Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Kernel panics can be either hardware or hardware driver issues, or directory issues. If your data is backed up, you can try repairing the directory. If your data is not backed up, recovering from such a scenario can be difficult.

can any one help me out here, tomorrow I am going to boot it into target disk mode and install from a G5 onto the powerbooks HD doing a CLEAN install and then I am going to try booting it from a DVD and doing another CLEAN intstall just cause I dont trust a firewire install for some reason. I would like to avoid all this mess if possible. ANY HELP PLEASE, either respond or email me tend0 at mac dot com. thanks

haha oh man thanks for startin slow with me, but we are passed that tested RAM, start up items, prefs, tried makin a new user account, as I stated before I can not boot from a DVD/CD.. that was one of the problems so I cant run anything that involves tageting the main HDD while its mounted. I have also repaired perms, ran fsck, tried booting up DiskWarrior(didnt boot from the CD), etc. if any one knows this perticular kernel panic string and can point out what the conflict is I can resolve it but other than that I have ran the run of the mill check to see if everything is in order procedure again and again.

Kernel panics during boot and other fun

It started a few weeks ago when my iMac G5 wouldn't wake up from sleep (it had to be restarted). Last week I started getting random kernel panics, and yesterday after one such panic it would no longer boot.
Also last week the computer beeped three times instead of the normal boot sound, although that only happened once.
Usually it will get a kernel panic or simply freeze during the Apple logo/pinwheel screen. Sometimes it will crash before the screen even comes on (denoted by loud fans). A few times it froze on the blue screen.
I took out the RAM and reseated it, but that didn't solve anything. It is the original RAM that came with the computer, so that's probably not the problem. I zapped the PRAM, and that didn't help, nor did starting in Safe Mode. I guess I'll try booting from the Leopard disc next.
Any idea what this might be, and if I can fix it without bringing it in for service?

Can't get past Kernel Panic!

I left my macbook running acquistion yesterday for about 2 hours and when I returned I could not wake it from sleep. I forced a shutdown holding the power button and now every time I turn on the macbook I am instructed to restart it, in several different languages. This screen comes up just after the "ping" when I turn it on and after the apple logo appears.
So far I have tried taking the battery out and holding the power button down for 5 seconds. Resetting the PRAM with "apple" "option" "p" and "r". Restarting in safe mode holding the "shift" key. Attempting to reboot from the instal CD disk 1 holding either the "option" key, the "x" key or the "c" key - when I do this the spinning gear appears for about 90 seconds and then reverts back to the restart kernel panic screen. I have also tried starting from the power source alone without the battery inseted. No Luck. And I ran a check of the hardware, holdig dowm the "d" key on start up with the disk inserted. No problems found.
I have no other external devices attached and I have made no modifactions to my Core 2 duo macbook that I got out of the box 3 weeks ago.
I am going to take it down to the store tomorrow unless anyone can think of a fix I have not yet tried.
Thank you for your help!

Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. If you still get the kernel panic, then you have a major hardware problem. Take it in for service.
If you can boot successfully from the Snow Leopard DVD:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow 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.
Now, boot the computer into Safe Mode and operate for a while to see if the kernel panics cease. You can
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Also, see OS X- How to log a kernel panic. Locate the panic log and post it here for us to examine.

Why do I get a spinning wheel during a youtube dideo when my ISP download speed is over 30 meg?

Why do I get a spinning wheel during a youtube dideo when my ISP download speed is over 30 meg?

You may have a 30meg connection onto the internet but a page will only come in as fast as the server can deliver it. A popular site like YouTube will have very many concurrent users making page requests, and the nature of YouTube's content means that each connection is very data intensive. If you are trying to access a particular popular video, or if you are trying to access YouTube at a peak time when a lot of other people are trying to access it at the same time, like early evening say, then the server may be struggling to service all the requests hence you may experience a delay in viewing your video irrespective of the speed of your internet connection.

Lightroom 5 color labels appear dark causing mac pro monitor(s) to go black, have to restart, get a kernel panic os 10.7 5

I have a Mac Pro 12 core, with a Nvidia Quadro Pro 4000 video card. I have been using lightroom with this video card since 2011 without a problem. I updated to os 10.7.5, which apple says it is the latest f and now when i use lightroom (after about 15 minutes), my monitor goes black, which i am sure is a video card issue which involves lightroom settings, and i have to restart my system. After restart I get a kernel panic report. I unistalled lightroom, and had no crashes. I reinstalled it and i started to get computer crashes again. (not lightroom crashes but computer -) When i open lightroom, the color labels appear saturated and much darker than usual. I took a screenshot www.jlanceimaging.com/lrscreenshot.jpg.
Since updating to 10.7.5 i have had this issue with lightroom and the video card.
I also went into photoshop an unchecked the graphics processor but still got the crashes.
and last;y, i opened up lightroom 4 and had no problems

You don't say what, if anything, you have done to test, resolve or rule out causes, so you can always assume hard restarts, freezes, and not safe shutdowns will make for more problems (corrupt files, file system, directory, etc).
Running Apple Hardware Test; Reset SMC; repairing your drives; ruling out cables, controllers, external devices, even drivers for printers and other devices.
If you are on a UPS, it should be 1000VA or larger (1300-1500VA). If there are other devices and you could be exceeding the load on circuit breaker, also worth looking into and sometimes requires adding a new circuit line.
