Update Kernel Panics : Steam For Mac

• Update Kernel Panic Steam For Macos

The latest kernel update of opensuse leap is suffering from kernel panic. I was playing a game on Steam and all a sudden I got a kernel panic. I manually shut. Mac OS X 10.6.5 and 10.6.6: Kernel Panics After Update. By SK 0 comments Last updated January 9, 2011. If the tool finds a problem, try temporarily removing or replacing the module and check for persistence of the kernel panics. Downgrading to Mac OS X 10.6.4.

Hmm, let me see, how about all the.ing time? I have a DP 533 with 1.5 gb ram and two times 40 gb ATAs. Happened with 10.1,.2,.3.4. And now with 10.1.5. I can run logic under 9.2.2 Ok but OSX on my machine is seriously flaky.

Oh and the drive that it was on completly crashed switching back from classic and had to be zeroed. Still get panics and endless spinning beach balls. Anything that you can think of has probably caused a panic, launching an app, quitting an app, trying to save. My favourite was the back button in IE5. Oh and before you ask, Apple were useless and frankly unpleasant. Hmm, let me see, how about all the.ing time?

I have noticed an increased frequency in kernel panics. But not sure when it happened.

I put 1.5 GB of RAM in, upgraded my secondary monitor card (PCI), installed a SuperDrive, upgraded the OS at every update release. It's definitely not 'OS9'-bad. I get about one every 1-2 weeks of up-time.

It usually happens when doing a Sherlock find, launching Maya, ummm. Doing something processor intensive while iTunes is running. FCP3 gave me a panic once. Not sure about any concrete details though. Overall, it's still pretty stable, but I DO get the occasional panic every one or two weeks.

Some never have them. Some people sneeze and they get one.

Update Kernel Panic Steam For Macos

My favourite was the back button in IE5. Oh and before you ask, Apple were useless and frankly unpleasant. Have you done a complete wipe and reinstall of OS X? If not, do it and don't install any additional software.

Run it with the default software for a while and see if you get any panics. If you don't, start adding additional software 1 app at a time, and take some time testing before adding more. If the problem persists after a clean install, it's 99% likely (or thereabouts) a hardware problem. Try removing all but 1 of your RAM modules. If you still get panics, switch the 1 you left in for another one.

Try this a couple of times to rule out bad RAM. If it's not the RAM, take the machine in to an Apple authorized service center and get it fixed.

Kernel panics are extremely uncommon on OS X. quoteOriginally posted by Scott F.: I wish I was more methodical about bug-tracking, but I guess that's why I'm not a QA/QC Engineer. I have noticed an increased frequency in kernel panics.

Some people sneeze and they get one. Scott The occasional panic once every two weeks or so is totally unacceptable for OS X (although that's considered quite good for windows ). It's probably a hardware issue, since you added quite a bit. If you can reconstruct a panic so that it occurs every time you do a specific sequence of tasks, you'll have a much easier time isolating the cause. For instance, if it panics every time you launch maya while iTunes is playing, you can then start removing the additional hardware 1 item at a time and then seeing if you still get the panic. You should also write down everything it says on the screen for every panic.

It's much more helpful for diagnosing, and Apple would probably like to hear about it too. quoteOriginally posted by pasta: The occasional panic once every two weeks or so is totally unacceptable for OS X (although that's considered quite good for windows ).

Well, the second display card is a PCI Radeon Mac Edition. I added a Pioneer SuperDrive.

The new RAM, etc. My gut-instinct is that it. I was gonna make a half-hearted hypothesis. But in all reality, I have no clue. I guess I'll write down the 'code' from the next kernel panic.

(Too bad it doesnt auto-save it to a file on the desktop for you.) heheh! Compared to OS9. Once every week or two is a WET DREAM.

Pre OSX, I was crashing on average 4-12 times a day. I just took it for granted that running a Mac meant force-quitting, rebooting and hard-restarts. Running OSX is a DREAM!!! Maybe I have lowered expectations, but to me. It's like going from a used Honda Civic to a New Lexus and complaining that the heated seats don't warm-up quick enough.

That example is a bit extreme. I think I'm just gonna do a 'Clean Install' (Format the drive & all) when Jaguar (10.2?) is released. Let's hope that does the trick. quoteOriginally posted by dobby: I support over 80 G4s (all types) all running OS X 10.1 and above. They have never had a panic although they are only used for one to two specific applications. I have only every seen 2 or 3 panics in the 3 years I have been exposed to the Mac world and those have been on my test boxes while surfing and I only use IE so I will blame MS.

Dobby Not to be confrontational or antagonistic. But hasn't OSX only been publicly available for just over a year.? Kernel panics only happen in OSX. In another thread, someone was boasting about using OSX with no kernel panics or problems for 4-years. It was either a typo, someone typing-out-their-ass. Or I just don't know about early alphas or something.

Help me please! I got a kernel panic on EVERY start up on my pismo/400mhz/192MB. I have that problem since I installed 10.1.5 but I don't think thats the problem. Probably something wrong in the system, but I have no idea how to solve that problem. I can reset the PowerBook on the backside and start up, then it starts up, with time reset to 1970. The next time I start up I have the kernel panic again.

I tried NortonUtilities with no success. Thanks ben. quoteOriginally posted by Scott F.: Not to be confrontational or antagonistic. But hasn't OSX only been publicly available for just over a year.?

We were using Mac OS X Server 1.2 then the PB OS X.

In rare cases, your Mac might encounter an unrecoverable issue affecting all open apps. When this happens, your Mac must be restarted. This is sometimes due to what is known as a 'kernel panic' because an underlying part of the operating system (the 'kernel') has determined there is an issue that requires a restart. If your computer experiences a kernel panic, a message may appear for a few seconds explaining that the computer has been restarted: 'Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up.' After a moment, the computer continues starting up. Once your Mac restarts successfully, an alert message appears, 'You shut down your computer because of a problem.'

Click Open to re-open any apps that were active before you restarted. If you believe the issue may have been caused by one of the apps that you were using, click Cancel instead.

If you don't click anything for 60 seconds, OS X automatically continues as if you had clicked Open. Note: If your computer is unable to recover from the issue, it may restart repeatedly, and then shut down. If this happens, or if you see the 'computer restarted because of a problem' message frequently, see the Additional Information section of this article for guidance. Once you log in, OS X lets you know that, 'Your computer was restarted because of a problem.' Click 'Report' if you want to see details related to the issue. You can also send these details to Apple. Sending these reports helps Apple to investigate the kinds of issues that cause panics to occur.

Viewing the report may also provide additional clues as to what caused the issue. Note: If you find the term 'machine check' in the 'Problem Details and System Configuration' field of this report, it may indicate a hardware-related issue. See the Additional Information section of this article for guidance. Click OK to send the report to Apple, or close the window to dismiss the report. If the issue doesn't happen again during the next few weeks, the issue is likely resolved. OS X Mavericks helps you correct kernel panics related to software you may have installed. If the cause of the kernel panic is known, Mavericks offers to help you disable its related software:.

If 'More Info' appears, click it to see more details about the issue, including possible workarounds or resolutions. Selecting the option to 'Ignore' does not alter the software that may be related to the issue. 'Move to Trash' moves software that is likely related to the issue to the Trash, but the Trash is not automatically emptied. When you select this option, an additional sheet appears:. Click 'Restart' to disable the software that may be responsible for the issue. When prompted, enter an administrator name and password. Click 'Move to Trash'.

After restarting, the related software is in your Trash. Click the Trash icon in the Dock to see which software was removed. Of the software to see if an update or more information is available. Empty the Trash if you want to permanently remove the third party software. Diagnosing a recurring kernel panic can be difficult. If you need help with this process, consider bringing your Mac to a or an for help. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, (available in some countries and regions only).

Tip: To help diagnose recurring kernel panics, record the date and time it occurs, and any information that appears with the kernel panic message. Was the computer starting up, shutting down, or performing a particular task when the recurring kernel panic happened?. Is the kernel panic intermittent, or does it happen every time you do a certain thing? For example, were you playing a particular game, or printing at the time?. Does it occur only when a certain external device is connected, or a device is connected to a certain port? To try to figure out if the issue is related to software or hardware, use the computer with a fresh installation of OS X on an external drive.

Start the Mac from. If a kernel panic still occurs when started from Recovery, there is likely a hardware issue. See the 'Hardware troubleshooting' section below for additional information. Open Disk Utility and use 'Repair Disk' on your Mac's internal hard drive (named Macintosh HD by default). Important: If Disk Utility is unable to repair the internal drive, you should back up your important data immediately and if possible, reformat the drive. Consider bringing the Mac to a or an for further diagnosis. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service.

If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries and regions only). Connect an external drive with at least 10 GB of free space. Note: Make sure the external drive does not cause kernel panics, and is the only device on its USB, FireWire, or Thunderbolt port. Connecting the external drive and its cables to another Mac can help make sure the drive does not cause kernel panics. Start up from the external drive. Use to install all updates until it reports 'Your software is up to date.'

. Don't install additional software on the external drive, but instead use the Apple applications to surf the web, view QuickTime movies, email, print, scan, and/or other activities.

Continue using your Mac for the amount of time it would usually take for the issue to occur. If a panic occurs, select the 'Hardware troubleshooting' section below to further diagnose the issue.

If a panic does not occur, select the 'Software troubleshooting' section below article to further diagnose the issue. Go to the next section if you have no devices attached to your Mac. Turn off your Mac. Disconnect all peripheral devices.

If you have a desktop Mac, make sure all you have connected is a display and Apple keyboard with Apple mouse or trackpad. Turn on your Mac. Use your Mac for the amount of time it would usually take for a kernel panic to occur. If a kernel panic does occur: Proceed the next section to check the internal RAM and third-party hardware.

If a kernel panic does not occur: Power down the Mac and connect one peripheral device at a time and test until a kernel panic occurs. Note: A combination of peripherals may be the cause of a kernel panic. Disconnect one peripheral at a time to see if it causes a kernel panic by itself.

If the kernel panic does not occur, continue to add peripherals until you find the other peripheral needed to cause the kernel panic. Turn off your Mac. Reseat the Apple RAM, and remove third-party RAM and third-party internal hardware. If you do not have the Apple RAM that came with the system, reseat the third-party RAM. Turn on your Mac. Use your Mac for the amount of time it would usually take for a kernel panic to occur.

If the kernel panic does not occur: The third-party RAM or internal third-party hardware may need to be replaced. If a kernel panic does occur: Bring your Mac to an Apple Store, or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service and support. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, (available in some countries and regions only). Disconnect the external drive used in the above test to determine the kernel panic is due to a software based issue.

Start the Mac from and reinstall OS X on your Mac. Start from the installation of OS X you just created.

Use to install all updates until it reports 'Your software is up to date.' . Download and install any third-party software updates before reinstalling third-party software, especially drivers and kernel extensions. Examples include:.

Virtualization software. Drivers for add-on third party display cards. Anti-virus software. Networking software (especially software which enables third party network devices). Add-on file system support software; for example, software that lets your write to NTFS formatted media.

If the issue continues, you will need to erase and install OS X as follows:. Start the Mac from. Complete a disk image backup via Disk Utility of the internal drive to an external drive with enough free space.

Erase the internal drive using Disk Utility. Install OS X. Start from the internal drive. Use to install all updates until it reports 'Your software is up to date.' . Re-install your third-party apps and copy your user data from the disk image backup you created in step 2.

Note: Avoid copying data from the /Library and /System folders on your backup disk image. You can check kernel panic logs for more information. The kernel panic text is added to the log after you restart the computer, assuming that you did not reset PRAM (the kernel panic text is stored in PRAM until you restart). In Mac OS X v10.6 or later, the logs are located in in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. Information that may aid developers in the investigation of a software issue may be in the log. The information may also provide clues as to what may have caused the kernel panic.

– This technote addresses kernel panics: what they are, how to read panic logs and how to debug the code that caused the panic. – This technote explains how you can enable remote kernel core dumps used to collect data about the kernel panic. Note: If you are a software developer, booter settings and debug flags may cause different symptoms for kernel panics.
