Intel Mac :: Osx Lion Kernel Panics?

Apr 19, 2012

it seems osx is less stable than it used to be. My iMac 20.1 2011 osx 10.7.3 15 seems to crash and recover all by itself about two times per week. Its happens more if I try to run Aperture or Excel but happened this morning as I was writing a few notes on a pad and I was not actually using the machine. I see reports of problems with Chrome - but I've got firefox installed for web work, and this morning only had LibreOffice open with iTunes running in the background. 

Long discussions at Apple, genius and by phone have not helped. I am usually told "I have no trouble running all my macs on Lion."  I have no problems with my old mbp upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and still battling on well. 

Console dump for the latest incident:

19/04/2012 11:38:22.959 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: (com.apple.ReportCrash) Falling back to default Mach exception handler. Could not find: com.apple.ReportCrash.Self

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Kernel Panics In 10.7.4

May 10, 2012

I kid you not,  ever since I updated 10.7.4 last night, I've had at least 3 kernel panics, plus it wouldn't wake up from sleep. 

Sometimes it seems to crash for no reason at all -- the computer will just be sitting there and I won't be doing anything; granted, I'm sure a skillion processes are running, but no more than I would usually run. 

Where are the pertinent logs hiding so I can share them with some wise soul?

Intel Mac :: Kernel Panics, Crashes And Automatic Log-offs?

Mar 25, 2012

In the last 2-3 weeks, for lack of a better phrase, my iMac has gone to ****. I get several kernel panics a day, apps crash all the time (Chrome, VLC, Quicktime, MS Word, etc.) and about a dozen times a day I am logged out of my user account with no warning. I have tried everything I can think of. I repaired permissions, I checked my disk, I disabled flash in Chrome, I uninstalled a lot of unnecessary apps and plugins. Nothing has helped. Could this be a Chrome issue? I've heard kernel panics aren't generally related to apps but it's the only program I've been consistently using during each panic/crash/log off (however, this could just be coincidence as I always have my browser open). I'm on Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Would upgrading to Lion potentially fix this? Should I reinstall the OS and start from scratch (which I would rather not have to do, as I have 500 GB of files & this would be time consuming)? This is my first Mac & while I'm generally a pretty tech savvy person, all my experience with fixing computer issues is on PCs. 

Here is my last kernel panic report:

OS X V10.7 Lion :: ESATA Kernel Panics In Safari 5.1.7

May 13, 2012

I'm experiencing kernel panics whenever attempting to load drives using the browser-based interface for the HighPoint Technologies RocketRAID Quad eSATA 6 Gbit/s for Mac controller. This began occurring immediately after updating to Safari 5.1.7 (OSX v10.7.4). 

All my eSATA peripherals are therefore completely unusable. Rather than using Time Machine to back up to the last update, has anyone got a workaround? Either using Terminal or Firefox or something else? IE?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Frequent Kernel Panics Seem To Happen Primarily When Using Adobe Premiere Pro

May 28, 2012

I seem to be having constant kernel panics when using my 2011 iMac (OS X 10.7.4), they seem to happen primarily when using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and happen from about 5 minutes of using the program to about 30. Even if I am not using adobe though the kernel panic still happens after about 30 minutes. I uninstalled Adobe and all seemed fine, so I attempted to reinstall it, but part way through the process it kernel panic's again. I was wondering if it could be when I am doing stuff on system intensive programs, so I tried running a game of Civ V, and that didn't seem to have any problems.

OS X :: How To Log Kernel Panics Automatically On 10.6.5

Nov 18, 2010

I tried to locate /Library/Logs/PanicReporter according to this link to no avail. I'm not happy with logging using verbose mode and having to retype it all up. I also don't have it in a network of macs to allow for this technique and I feel as if there's a pretty obvious way of capturing these reports that I'm missing.

MacBook Air :: How Many Kernel Panics Too Much

Jan 9, 2011

I have had the Macbook air 11.6 for five weeks now and it has been rock solid except for a couple of kernel panics. Once when I first got it I got a kernel panic in Safari. I only use google browser now. I got a kernel panic two days ago. I went to open the lid and it did not come on. I found out there was a kernel panic. I am afraid if I take it to the genius bar they will have me reinstall the OS and add one app back at a time to see what is causing it but since they are so infrequent this is obviously not convenient. Also I have had my IMac 24 for three years and have tons more junk on it and have never got one panic.

OS X :: Kernel Panics On Two Machines?

Sep 8, 2009

Can kernel panics on one machine somehow cause panics on another machine. My situation, I recently started using a BC338 esata card in my mid 2007 MBP running Leopard. Never had panics before but since trying to use this card with an esata drive I've had 5 kernel panics. I also have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard which has had two kernel panics during times when the MBP had panics. Can these be related? Before using this card, I never had panics on either machine?

MacBook Pro :: Kernel Panics On OS X 10.6 With 6GB RAM

Apr 3, 2010

I am currently planning to upgrade my 2gb RAM and I heard that my model supports up to 6GB of RAM, hence I am planning to upgrade to that size cause Aperture uses lots of memory and I use Aperture a lot. I am planning to get it from here: OWC 6GB PC5300 DDR2 667MHz DIMM Upgrade Kit. Everything is cool and all until I find out that some users are having kernel panics on OSX 10.6 with 6GB RAM (which is what I am using). It is now 10.6.3, so anyone care to report if it is safe to use 6GB or the problem still exist?

OS X :: Kernel Panics After Sleep?

Apr 20, 2010

I've been having a lot of Kernel Panics (you need to restart black screens). I've only just worked out that they almost always occur after the mac has been dormant. For instance, I'll leave the machine on (and the black screen/sleep mode activates instantly), after twenty minutes I come back to the machine, it comes back to life, but within a minute or so it crashes. This seems to be the pattern, it very rarely crashes mid-use. Safari is also nearly always loaded?

Power Mac G5 :: Booting Up And Kernel Panics

Oct 10, 2007

Last week, after completely normal use, the computer booted up to a screen with the finder icon / flashing question mark. After a few more atempts to power up i started getting just the grey apple screen with spinning wheel and loud fans. I was advised by a friend to boot from the install DVD by holding alt when powering up. When i try this, after selecting the DVD from the boot up options, I get kernel panic and the message " panic: We are hanging here...". Then nothing.

Mac Pro :: Getting Kernel Panics When Monitors Connected

Apr 8, 2008

I've been using my new Mac Pro with no issues for several weeks with the same hardware setup & OS all along. Suddenly I'm getting kernel panics. It happens when I startup from the system drive or from install disc. And sometimes when I startup it just hangs on the blue screen with no desktop coming onto the screen. It started happening after I did a Carbon Copy Clone of my system drive onto a firewire drive, & when I came back to my computer several hours later the screen was black & white stripes. I've been on the phone with apple care several times and even took my machine to the genius bar today where they recommended a stress test and said I would get it back in 5 - 10 business days (gasp!). Of course there were no kernel panics while I was there (for an hour, and at home I'm getting them every few minutes), so I decided to take it home & check it over myself in a process of elimination.

I've removed all third party ram, and have 2 hard drives installed - the system drive & the drive I use for time machine. The RAM is listed as OK in system profiler and the HD's are verified with Disk Utility - also disk permissions verified & repaired on the system drive. I have 2 Acer monitors - model AL2016W. I tried plugging in one at a time in each DVI port for a total of 4 tests - each with a fresh startup. There were no kernel panics. Then I plugged them both in at the same time, started up, & got the kernel panics. Tried this twice with the same results. With or without any applications open, it's the same. Within 2 - 4 minutes I get a kernel panic when both monitors are plugged in. Later, I got kernel panics with just one monitor connected. So my question is; What could be the reason it's getting kernel panics sometimes & sometimes not? As I said, nothing has changed in my setup since I got the machine - and everything was running fine since mid February.

During my testing I have these connections:
One or two monitors. Power cord. Apple wired keyboard & mouse (these were not connected at the time this started happening so I have eliminated them from the possible source of trouble.) All bluetooth devices are powered off & no other external devices are connected. I just completed the Apple Hardware Test & it detected this error: "4HDD/11/40000004.SATA(0,0)" Does this mean there's something wrong with a hard drive? If so, which one?

Mac Pro Early 2008 2.8 Mhz 8 core
OS X 10.5.1
2 gigs original "apple" RAM
HD 1 - Samsung F1 (system - 750 gigs of which 420 are being used)
HD 2 - Hitachi (time machine - 1 TB)
2 Acer monitors DVI

OS X :: Getting Kernel Panics When USB Hubs Plugged In?

Feb 10, 2009

I have become increasingly frustrated and angry at my MacBook in the last few weeks. Nearly every time I plug in a USB hub, I get a kernel panic. When I send the report to apple, this is what comes up near the bottom of the window:


Code:
Backtrace continues...
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.baltaks.driver.DoubleCommand(1.6.5)@0x3441b000->0x34420fff
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOHIDFamily(1.5.3)@0x709000
com.apple.iokit.IOHIDFamily(1.5.3)@0x709000->0x741fff

Sometimes there's a USB HUB written in there. What is going on? I've tried switching from a rather generic hub to a Belkin one, and most recently I just plugged in my aluminum keyboard and immediately got a KP. They've been happening with regularity over the past while, all when I unplug or plugin my USB hub with an iPod touch, keyboard/mouse, USB drive and headset (though recently I've been removing peripherals). I'm about to do an archive and install (assuming my MB works long enough for me to download the combo updater) but want to kill this bug soon.

Mac Pro :: Repeated Kernel Panics / How To Avoid It

Feb 20, 2009

I began having freezes unrelated to any new software or behaviors. The hardware check showed no problems with the hardware or memory, so I cleaned out the inside of the computer, used Disk utility, AppleJack, Mac Janitor and reset p ram (all said it was OK, then the freeze came back), and finally zeroed the hard drive and reinstalled OSX.

It was stable for a few weeks then the freeze happened again followed by repeated kernel panics. I went thru all the steps above again but finished with an archive and install and created a new user admin account. Until this point the freezes and KP were on all three user profiles. But now this new user admin is fully functional while the others are still messed up.

OS X :: Having Huge Number Of Kernel Panics

Feb 24, 2009

New to the forum and unfortunately with a problem. Just got a new Mac Pro 8 Core over the weekend and Im having unusually high number of Kernel Panics (more in a couple of days then I have for the past 10 years with my other macs). I have tried to see if anything in particular causes it (ie Programs that cause the crash, time intervals, etc) and nothing can be ruled as the cause at least not that I can notice. It has happened wile using PS (CS4), Aperture, Google Earth, Safari and just in sleep mode. Here is one of the Kernel Panics along with system info. ps. The Mac started kernel panics before I loaded two additional hard drives and the wireless card (pci express).

OS X :: Constant Kernel Panics On IMac

Apr 10, 2009

My computer is having constant kernel panics. I have had about 10 in the past 18 hours, and I am starting to freak out about it. Here is the info from the error report:

BSD process name corresponding to current thread: firefox-bin
Mac OS version:
9G55
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 9.6.0: Mon Nov 24 17:37:00 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.9.59~1/RELEASE_I386
System model name: iMac5,1 (Mac-F42786A9)

The part that says BSD process name corresponding to current thread has changed every time. When I have apps open, it will read the name of the apps extension but if I don't run anything it will say "system kernel" or something.

PowerPC :: G5 Having Kernel Panics 3 To 4 Times A Day

Jul 24, 2009

The computer I am having problems with is a Mac Dual 2.7 Ghz Power PC G5 with 3.75 GB DDR SDRAM. Moved premises at start of year - had to have a new ethernet adapter card fitted but no problems for about 4 months. Then it started having Kernel Panics. It got to the stage where at one time it was 3 to 4 times a day. Took it to a local repair shop who put it on test but said they couldn't find a problem. Within 10 minutes of my switching it on it went again. They changed a memory board. Still no change. Changed Ethernet adapter card. Still no change. I have a print out of the latest system & console logs I can email if that will help an expert.

MacBook Pro :: Keep Getting Kernel Panics On New 15" I7

I got a new 15" i7 MBP w/7200 RPM and hi-res anti-glare last Thursday and since then I've had a number of kernel panics, three today

Any suggestions on what it could be or what I should do?

From the looks of it it has something to do with the graphics card, maybe the auto switching feature.

MacBook Pro :: Ram Related Kernel Panics On A MBP?

May 25, 2010

i have a 2.2GHZ intel core duo 2007 MBP, which once ran Tiger and is now running 10.6.3I had the graphic card break down associated with such models, and it was replaced thanks to the extended care plan-I originally had 1Gig of ram, but 1st got an extra 2Gb of danelec ram, and finally another 2GB- it ran fine for a year or so-then I started getting these kernel panics, which seem to be ram related-on tiger- I changed the HDD, switched to snow leopard, and they continue, they're apparently RAM related, yet what is odd is that they can be reproduced with any RAM combination involving 2 sticks- the original apple 1Gb + any of the two GB ram sticks, the 2GB ram sticks together-- it's all the same, the screen goes grey and i'm told to shut down the computer

with one ram stick it works, apprently avoiding the issue-i've moved the ram around, checked the slots, reset the PRAM,yet the issue is still there.now i know that I should be using paired ram, and will do so in the next coming months when I can afford it- yet what has happened to make the make the MBP seemingly refuse two sticks of RAM when it didn't before ?I'd also need to know that this is not a logicboard issue if it's possible- the logic board was changed due to the NVDIA bug, so it's a year old or so-I'm running it on the 2GB danelec as I type, no issue, the samsung ram works as well, and so does the 1GB apple ram, in any slot, yet two slots of ram causes the kernel panic crash- the area near the ram slot also seems to get very hot
