iMac 10.9.4 software updates last week is apparent cause of my Corel Painter X3 now crashing. I ran Disk Utility check - no probs there. I reinstalled Painter X3 (after first uninstalling X3), still no success.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
My iMac ( late 2012, 27", 3.4 GHz i7, 16 GB RAM, 3TB Fusion Drive, OS X 10.10.1 ) has taken to randomly restarting for no reason that I can find. It seems to be mostly when I am not actually doing anything, but, as I say, it's random. It did it five times in about half an hour the other day, then it didn't do it for a day or so, but it just did it again, which prompted me to ask. I have run Tech Tool Pro 7, and everything has passed. I have repaired permissions ( there were lots ). What next?

Just after my warranty expired I developed what I suspect will be an expensive problem. Upon awakening from sleep my computer cannot recognize the internal HD. I total freeze. If I power down & reboot everything works. If I boot the computer from an external HD clone of my internal HD a can put the computer to sleep and wake up without a problem EXCEPT:When I do this the computer removes the internal HD icon from the desktop and Iget a dialog box informing me that the internal HD was improperly disconnected.

I can't open my iPhoto because I downloaded OS X months ago. I am sick of the App Store icon showing I have two updates - iPhone and iMovie - that I can NOT update. Also I am blocked from getting into iPhoto to boot!!!! Here's what's on the screen when I try to update these programs.Â
Update Unavailable with this apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.  I purchased this computer and did not return, cancel, or refund one thing in it. We could not complete your request.There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null) how I contact the App Store?

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6.

Take the imac in to a certified mac shop and they install leopard but wipe everything else on my harddrive. NO SONGS, MOVIES, FILES, all of it lost! I fork out hundreds of dollars to upgrade and fix the problem yet Im still getting burned! IS any of my stuff anywhere to be retrieved? This is leading me to never purchase an apple product again!

Sometimes when I my computer shuts down unexpectedly, then I start up again, all the programs I had open previously open again automatically. How do I set my prefs so it won't do that?

My son has a 2010 iMac and it crashes about once a week. I've serviced it with Disk Warrior twice. The first time it found a problem with the Volume map, but the second time nothing. How to read the Console crash report? As this is a total crash, I can't find any reports under the various application tabs that fit the dates in question.

I have a feeling this is probably due to insufficient RAM or overheating, but some input would be nice. My iMac has a 60GB HDD, 256MB PC133 module, 700MHz G3 CPU. It is currently running MacOS X 10.3.9. When I am in Safari, it seems that if I visit some sites (heavy data ones), Safari seems to "unexpectedly quit." When running SNES9X emulator, I can play for a while, then the iMac freezes or tells me to restart it.

Sometimes my Mac crashes, with graphic glitches.This doesn't only happen using OSX. So I think that it is an hardware issue. How can I do? I've paid 2000 euros only 3 years ago. I don't want to change my computer again! Please, don't say me to update my OS. I've downgraded to SL because Lion.

Pretty sure my external hard drive has crashed. I have unplugged and reconnected the USB, restarted the mac but it is just gone and the Mac can't find it. Â
I keep my itunes and iphoto files on this hd. I use Time machine as the back up. My question is if I buy a new external HD, how do I recover everything from the time machine backup?

Here's an interesting one for all you intelegent people out there. Â
I have a 2011 iMac running Lion. I have a USB harddrive connected which stores digial versions of all my DVDs so that I can stream them to my AppleTV. Has no issues with it before now. A moment ago my Mac crashed and had to be restarted by holding down the button at the back (first time ever!!). When i turned the thing back on, the drive didn't mount so I went into disk utility and repaired the drive which resulted in it mounting. Â
Here lies the problem, I can access files on my drive in every other folder but the Movies on. See the below video. [URL]
have I lost my 660gb+ collection of movies?Â

How do you recoup software from the app store after a crash? It's not like the old days when you bought software on CDs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt was bad sign and I had to take my computer to the Apple service.
The intern disk had to be replaced and they told me that they can't recover the date ( not in theyr shop)
How works the data recovery once the disk is out of the computer ? Is there necessarily a "white room" process wich is very expensive ?

ok so i suppose the inevitable had to happen. and so my mac OS X crashed badly within a few days of my getting this new MBP!
i had a short word document open in 1 workspace some firefox tabs in another, and was checking out the movies in my ext HDD (formatted with NTFS).and suddenly i start seeing this multi colored round icon which i guess is the cousin of the windows hourglass. after trying unsuccessfully to force quit, i was forced to hut down using the boot up button. yes, the same procedure that wreaks havoc on the HDD.
- so my questions are - what to do if even force quit doesn't work ? its surprising that it didn't in this case, as i have used ubuntu for almost 3 years and never had the OS crash on me! of course there were a few application crashes but the force quit always worked. and there was the keyboard shortcut - Ctrl+Alt+Del.
- also what is the norm with macs in this regard ? do they crash often and for the flimsiest of reasons as in my case ?
- probably i am not aware of the Mac OS equivalent for the Ctrl+Alt+Del function that almost always works in ubuntu. so is there some key combination that is guaranteed to work in the even that even force quit does not?
every time i go into my movies folder itunes crashes

A few days ago I found that launchd was constantly using around 14% of my CPU (via iStat), which drastically lowered my battery life and caused my CPU to reach 75 degrees Celsius and higher. Initially I thought that SL just needed to do something, so I ignored it. But it has persisted for a few days now, so I decided to do something about it.
I checked the Console and nothing appeared to be repeating itself, so what I did was use MainMenu to perform a batch of system maintenance tasks, and then left my Mac on overnight to see what Console would report. Besides hourly instances of "kernel" running "iCalHelper" and "SubmitDiagInfo", there was nothing else.
However, launchd lowered its CPU usage to about 3%, but it is still constant and my CPU is still at a constant 40-50%. Activity Monitor says the following processes are (constantly) taking only 1-4% of the CPU:
coreservicesd
launchd
mds
WindowServer
disnoted
activitymonitord
...and others
The CPU is reported as 35% User and 20% System. But I am not running anything besides Activity Monitor.
I recently purchased a PowerBook G4 it had 512mb ddr2 ram as standard so I went out and bought a 2gb stick for it. After removing the 512mb stick and installing the 2gb stick it worked fine, and then it started to crash without anything being done, so initially I borrowed a known to be working stick of the ram and put that in and the errors keep coming up? Even with the original stick it seems to be crashing for no apparent reason. Before I installed the new stick it was working fine the the 512mb stick, but she still does it with the original stick.

After about 5 minutes of using it (cold boot) it will either have a kernel panic, freeze and go into a blue (bondi blue I think) screen, or shut down. I ran an extended AHT on it and after 10 minutes it shuts down (black screen) then goes into a boot loop (screen stays black and system chimes once every 2 seconds). If the system is warm it will not boot (goes to blank grey screen). The consol reports something with the NVRAM (havent had the ability to post the log yet).

I had Mavericks previously installed on my iMac mid 2007 and was promoted to upgrade to Yosemite which I did. Now when I try to open iPhoto and it reads unresponsive in red letters on the force quit window. When I select and click force quit computer then freezes. I am however able to open iTunes but when I plug my iPod in computer then freezes.

I have an iMac that is now close to two years that I have been a little unlucky with. Two times the harddrive has crashed and had to be replaced. Last time I managed (learned from experience) to make a TimeMachine back-up. I can see on the external drive that 160gb are in use but I am unable to gain access to the files. The main thing is a lot of pictures that i would really like to recover. It is now about 4 months ago this happened so new pictures have been uploaded in the meantime.
