Constant panic mode

• Urgent assistance needed please: boot after Sierra panic mode installed attempt

  Hello:

  I just tried to install Sierra on a Macbook Pro 11.1.

  The installation failed and the screen is black.

  It seems that I'm in panic mode and I can not start any OS.  He goes through a boot loop and then ends with a black screen with a "forbidden" symbol (just a circle with a slash through it).

  Any help is appreciated.  Fortunately, I have a backup, so this isn't the end of my world, if I have to restore my data through the recovery, but if there is another way I can fix it without doing that, I'd love to hear it.

  Thank you.

  This one?

  

  This means that your Mac can not find an operating system to load.

  Read on screens, you see at the start of your Mac - Apple Support, which suggests "Try reinstalling OS X, using OS X recovery."

• After trying to install the updates. my computer is now stuck in constant reboot mode while showing "Configuring updates 3 of 3 0%, do not turn off your computer.

  Visa update problem

  After trying to install the updates.  my computer is now stuck in constant reboot mode while showing "Configuring updates 3 of 3 0%, do not turn off your computer.  I tried to follow the instructions provided here because it seemed to be the same problem.  But when I restart and hold down the F8 key so I can boot into safe mode, I tried selecting safe mode and I get the same results, and I tried again by selecting the option 'Disable automatic reboot' which seems to be an option on the same page with the option of safe mode.  Whatever it is, the same message comes back and I can never get to where I can see my desktop to click 'start '.  I can't get out of this cycle.  I installed the update because it said I needed to install it.

  *************************************************************************************************************************************************

  Turn off your computer by holding the power button for about 20 seconds.
   
  Start your computer in safe mode: press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears
   
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure:
   
  • Click Start
  • Click on Control Panel
  • Click on system and Maintenance link.
  • Click on the system link
  • In the left pane, click Advanced system settings
  • Locate the startup and recovery area, click the settings button.
  • In the startup and recovery window, uncheck the box next to automatically restart.
  • Click OK in the startup and recovery window
  • Click OK in the System Properties window
  • Close the system window
   
  After that... While STAYING in safe mode I do a system restore and maybe try a manual install of the update later.
   
  For the sake of space I refer you to the article about how to proceed.

• Constant panic kernel_task - Mac

  Hello, can someone help me identify the problem for re-occuring kernel_task panic? I several times a day for the most part, when the computer is closed and sleep. I sometimes other panics and restarts where the main reason stated in the report that is noticed or Photos.

  I got my computer twice to the approved service but they only run the hardware tests that showed negative issues.

  They did own OS X install twice and I did not recover the backup system, but transferred the data only as a copy. There are only original material installed and no software other than Apple one.

  I tried the memory resets, recovery mode (now D) and the other stuff found here.

  Thank you for your advice. MIC.

  This panic was not caused by a third-party software. If the problem recurs, the possibilities are:

  1. A stale or corrupt kernel cache
  2. A damaged OS x installation
  3. A flaw in a device, if applicable
  4. Corrupt the nonvolatile memory (NVRAM)
  5. Internal hardware failure (including incompatible memory)
  6. Obscure bug in OS X

  You can already have excluded some of them. Some may not be applicable.

  Rule # 1 by starting in safe mode , then restart as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion drive or a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  You can exclude #2 and #3 in reinstalling the operating system and tests with non-essential devices disconnected and removed aftermarket expansion cards, if any. Sometimes a clean reinstall may solve a problem which is not resolved by reinstalling in place.

  Corrupt the PRAM, which causes panic from time to time, may be excluded in resetting it.

  If your model has replaceable memory by the user and you have upgraded modules of memory, reinstall the original memory and see if there is any improvement. Make sure not to touch the Gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Spare memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.

  Apple diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, as generally unreliable, sometimes detects a fault. A negative test may not be depended on. Run the long version of the test, if necessary.

  More than a screen connected is another trigger for OS X bugs reported.

  In the category of obscure bugs, damage the data on a file server, such as a Time Capsule backup - can sometimes trigger a panic. If necessary, remove all the network devices and see if the panic stop. If you use Time Machine, disable it temporarily in its preference pane.

  Otherwise, an appointment of 'Genius' in an Apple Store, or switch to a different service provider authorized to have the tested machine. You may need to leave for several days. He is not much of interest to do this, unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens quite often that he is likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise, you can be said that everything is fine.

  Print the first page of the report panic and take it with you.

• How can I set default values to set the Mode in the config of the AO?

  Hi, how can I set default values to allocate mode in the config of the AO. To be precise, in the attached vi, I need to set the Mode allocate in the AO Config to ' use FIFO memory (6) ' if the value inside the structure of my case is false and 'no change (0)' if the value inside the strusture case is true.

  Create two constants for Mode allocate input (right click > create > constant). A place in the real case of the structure of the case and place it in the case of false. Their son in the same tunnel (border of the structure of the case), then the tunnel of wire to the pole to allocate the AO Config Mode. I do not have traditional DAQ installed, but who should do it.

• The screen of my laptop not turn on after being in mode 'sleep'

  Let me start by saying that I am a novice in computer repair, so advice please put in laymon's terms! My problem started a few weeks ago, when my Dell inspiron 1526 would not resume when I opened the lid of the laptop.  (I rarely have to cut the power, just close the lid) When he started to arrive, I have to cut the power and turn off several times to get my computer to come back.  I did research on the internet for a solution (because I had resorted to all leaving the lid open).  I found one that worked for me... I did the following:

  Click on the start menu, then right click on "computer" and click Properties.
  Click the Manager option of devices on the left.
  Under "System devices", one of the first should be the appliance close the lid.  Right click and click on "Update Driver Software".
  Click "Browse my computer...". ", and then"Let Me pick from a list... ". »
  Uncheck it "Show compatible Hardware".
  In the list on the right, scroll down, select Manager of Volume and click Next.

  It was running great until the other day when I accidentally clicked on the Start button and then put the computer in mode 'sleep'.  Well now the computer screen lights up not at all.  All my family and I spent the weekend all put under tension of the laptop then turn it back, nothing will do.  I am now in panic mode since I use my computer to work from home as well as to take some college courses online! I found a lot of advice on this subject, but all of them are to be able to actually see what is on the screen! I need to know how to put the screen on the first!  I tried to take out the battery and unplug it but that no longer works. I know the computer becomes power b/c I can hear fans and restarting, but the screen does not light.  Help, please! From what I read it seems that it is a big problem with windows vista users!

  Hello

  Since it is not initialize, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more help with this.

• Firefox crashes

  After the update to firefox43.1 this morning (19 December), firefox is in constant crash mode. I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 or 4 times still nothing does not. When I click to open it, a minimized screen appears with two 'new tab' button located in the upper part and the start of firefox tab page (3rd from the left).

  This hangs there for a few moments, then I get firefox crashed and had to close the message. What happened today at least a dozen times. It worked perfectly until this last updated and I had to download Google Chrome
  just to get in line... and it sucks. I really want to come back on Firefox... Please help. I tried to attach images/screen-dumpsters and file errors, but they do not load upward.

  Thank you.

• Why I can't import exported TB LiveMail files?

  Just installed TB b/c LiveMail stop working (was in constant send mode). Set up TB and can get and send messages to the server. Restarted. LiveMail is now working... Exported "all." Back to TB, I can't import. Process seems to be stuck after choosing 'All' and then clicking. Nothing happens. Seems stuck or frozen. All other running programs fine. (OS = Win7).

  To import an address book which is in .csv format.

  You can use the instructions below, but it can help you to change the column headers in your .csv recorded file to match these headers used in Thunderbird. Any .csv file can be opened by using for example: Excel. See this link for a list of the used column headers:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Import_address_list_from_text_file
  • In Thunderbird, open "address book".
  • "Tools" > "import."
  • Select "Address books" and click "next".
  • Select 'File (LDIF, .tabtable, .csv, .txt) text' and click 'next '.
  • Find the registered .csv file and click 'open '.
  • You may need to map the column headings to match those of Thunderbird.

• Mac Pro end of 2013 will not launch apps. most mouse clicks are delayed to the point of making it unusable.

  Hello community,

  I have a problem with my Mac Pro end 2013. I bought it in August of 2014. It has always seemed to be a little weird, but I attributed this to the usual first generation bugs and not-so-stellar OSXs from the end. When it was available, I installed the latest update of El Capitan, 10.11.5,, and it seemed that Apple had finally deceived. Since the update, I enjoyed the use of my MP as much as other Macs I've owned over the years (a Performa, G3, G4, G5, several iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini - 14 in all).

  Yes, computer on my MP was nearlly nirvana, that is, until a few days ago. It started when my mouse became very unresponsive and I just thought he needed a couple of new batteries. I put fresh packaging as engergizers in, but it did not help. The slider was slow and jerky, and sometimes it is completely frozen. I paired a new mouse, also with new batteries, the Member and experienced the same thing. Basically, the mouse was unusable. The slider control would come and go at random. I do not think that to restart faster, (which surprises me, because, in the past, I had to do quite often to operate properly). But I restart, and it seemed to clear up the problem at the moment. This strange mouse behavior happened at least a dozen times since the beginning, but generally, it did not last long and lightens without rebooting. I noticed that often happens during Time Machine backups are in progress, or when another CPU-intense activity is happening.

  Unfortunately, it seems that this problem of mouse was a harbinger of things to come. Today, I started the MP of his sleep and clicked on Mail. Nothing happened. It confused me and left me puzzled for a while. I clicked on my browser, Google Chrome, and even once, nothing happened. I thought I should go in my applications folder and try to launch Mail from there to see if that would work. All the time that I did, I got a message window that says: "Cannot open the application"Mail.app"because it may be damaged or incomplete." Immediately after you read this, another window message, just like this one open and said the same thing for Google Chrome - "Unable to open," etc. Icons for Mail and Google Chrome in the doc are now passed to the application icon generic Apple, (the white sheet with the 'A' in the lower corner). Each application I click on since waking from sleep today gives me the same result. Nothing opens the application icon in the dock or the original file in the applications folder. Another very strange thing, it's clicking on a file opens the file in the application it is native. Strange, Yes, but I was able to open Google Chrome, clicking on a saved URL, and I open TextEdit by clicking on a saved TextEdit document. But the application does not open by clicking on its icon. I thought it was very unusual.

  With this weird behavior also come a slowdown in response time of the mouse and keyboard. It is so slow that it makes the work on the machine, for all practical purposes, impossible. It takes 20 or 30 seconds to register a click. But, adding to the quirkiness of everything that happens, once an application is open, like TextEdit, the mouse and the app seem to work almost as if nothing was when working within the App on the other hand, the responses to the mouse by trying to use the finder or open a file from the desktop are very slow. A note on this: when I first the computer woke up today and ran into problems, I tried to open the applications folder and when it finally opened, there is no list of applications. In near-panic mode, I immediately tried the folder my documents to see if my personal files were intact, but no they had also disappeared, or so it appeared. I discovered later, having left the files open on my desk for an hour or two, that files showed later upward. It was a great relief. But the icons on several applications from the applications folder had changed to the generic Apple icon, for some reason any. I rebooted into Recovery Mode, but he wasn't able to do anything there except performing first aid on the hard drive, which showed everything be ok. I didn't restore from a backup at this stage. I had another option to try everything first. Re-boot after that nothing changed.

  The option I mentioned was to try Disk Warrior on it. I ran the latest version and rebuilt on the hard drive, checked the material, and all that makes the software, I forgot. It took about 45 minutes to run. The result was that it showed some things which have been corrected, probably 8 or 10 items, any rang critics. I said a short prayer and restarted. Nothing has changed. Everything that I described before was exactly the same.

  Exasperated, I came here to see if it was what I could glean conversations that could help me. I have not found something really substantial to help me solve the problem, unfortunately. What I found was that I'm certainly not the only person who has experienced problems of 2013 end MP of catastrophic proportions. It is obvious that there is a serious problem with this Mac.

  For those who have had smooth sailing with them, be very happy. If I was. The question came out of the blue. Yesterday, I would have been there with you praise. I hope your luck tends and you never have to experience this level of frustration with a product. I mention this because some seem to dismiss the issue as flukey. But I must say, in all honesty, anyone denying the MP has a problem either whistling through the graveyard or they are so pro-Mac that they are not prepared to allow even a small flaw in the Apple armor. They are good people, but they are in denial. I know how easy it is to refuse to acknowledge the existence of even a slight stain on the first brand hand. I have fought wars of Mac - PC at the time where we didn't know what a Mac - but almost every designer in the country. We labeled Mac users quietly the balls also odd, unconventional and offbeat. But we knew we had the best product. We knew that when the rubber meets the road, in particular regarding graphics, we would spank a PC each time. The years 90, and even the first part of the century was a time when serious computer users aligned on one side of the road or the other, Mac or PC. A lot of animosity arose between the two camps, especially on the side of the Mac, because we were the underdogs, rather despised by the majority. We felt the need constantly to get our message to the number overwhelming dominate the PC users. It follows a sort of tacit animosity. And it became a proposal for a war similar to many Mac users, myself included. For people who lived in that time and have subsequently become more and more immersed in all things Mac, the war is raging on. This is the meaning behind my description of those who are "so pro-Mac". Again, it is easy to understand why this mentality still exists. It was not easy for us guys good back in the day. But it is now time for rational people watch mentality 'til-death-us-part and face the facts, which also means recognition of all prejudice deeply seated, illogical. This member is not good. There is a real possibility that it could be much worse than not well. Time will tell.

  On the side of those who are unwilling to admit there are problems, of course, the argument will be, given all the members sold, he's going to be a dud or two, it's just human nature to be less - than perfect. I accept that. For my money, however, after having lived what I have with my Congressman and to hear the facts given on this site by several owners of the MP - and the absurdity of the incredible problems they have known - that any rational thinker must know at least the idea that means that we deal with a lot more here than the occasional, inevitable dud.

  The bottom line is, my problems are not isolated. It is clear that Apple has a product that fails to a very rare rhythm of the brand. Once again, I have owned for a decade of Mac, all shapes and sizes, but I've never had anything that happens to one of them that comes close to this type of failure. How disappointing it is to me, who has worn the coat for Apple products for nearly 30 years.

  I doubt if there is something that everyone in the team of technical advisors here at the Community Board of Apple can do to help me with this problem. I'm not somehow devaluing at your service for Mac users. I certainly welcome any help you can offer. I know you have helped countless others to find solutions to the problems. But it's a little different for you now with this model of MP. Your best efforts seem to be a bit anemic on this topic. And it's not your fault. Apple isn't talking, then you are here on an island of yours, grasp at straws to try to help. I congratulate you on that, but nothing I've read has shed significant light on this which seems to be a mess of real, first Apple class - currently without a viable solution.

  Yet once again, I welcome any suggestions and thank you in advance to address even. I will definitely check here in the coming days to see if he has the answers.

  In my view, the prudent thing for me to do now is to make an appointment at my nearest store from Apple, an hour and a half and let them begin to set. I'm not too optimistic about a full success to resolve the issue during the first visit, based on the experiences of other contributors. And I rejoice in water and the lift back repeatedly to do things, as seems to be the rule rather than the exception. But in this regard, fortunately, I'm retired and now do occasional projects at low pressure. It's great to not have the MP to put food on the table like I did for many years using my trusty ol ' G5. I don't know what I would if I still ran my business full-time and depends on this MP. Small businesses rely on their equipment to work. The major failures, such as this MP seems to display with regularity can quickly put a small company out of business. This failure is not a walk in the park for me, but I really feel for those who invested heavily and who depend on every day, only to have this mucking things up, i.e., when it is not in the repair shop.

  Finally, I write my thoughts here to express my disappointment in commiseration with other owners of MP end 2013. These are users who were as delighted as I when Apple eventually replaced the G5 with this elegant, state-of-the-art piece of equipment. Like many others, I jumped directly into the train without reservation, and I paid their price without any reluctance. Plunking down to $4 k for it, adding on 27 "display Apple and then having to buy an external drive now makes me a feel a bit embarrassed, at best and, at worst, as an easy mark. The result is, I wasn't expecting this new MP to throw myself into a sort of computer euphoria, I expected just to work as it was announced. The only thing I added on and I thank God, I did it, was AppleCare. Before this saga is over, Apple will probably want that I had refused it.

  I have not read all what you posted but I think a clean installation, even to an external and test simply install would probably tell a different story. I think you did an installation "backup" probably from a backup of TC. I also think that Legacy Applications from a backup OS x and third-party would be not beneficial. Try it, see what improves.

• Recovery does not work wth my Qosmio G30-137

  Hello everyone, I have big problems with my Qosmio G30-137. I tried to put the system in the State of origin using the recovery disk. After booting from the floppy, the procedure starts as usual and gets to the language screen. Then the trouble begins. After selecting the language the error next watch-up and the process breaks. The worst is that the computer starts not more that a recovery is critical.

  Error message:

  IOCTRL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO.------ ------PHYSICAL DRIVE 0
  The device is not ready

  It seems that the software can not see the drive. However, in the BIOS, both drives are visible and shown OK. I put the raid parameters to different options and I also tried swapping hard disks or restore with a single disc. Nothing worked! Panic mode...

  Thanks in advance!
  Frank

  Hallo Frank

  Have you tried to boot from another bootable CD/DVD?
  Try please use Microsoft WXP / Vista CD/DVD facilities. It will be interesting to see if the facilities procedure ends on the same point.

  But in my opinion, there is a problem with the HARD drive.

• How to control the current program view lab for a power E3631A agilent

  Hello

  I wrote a program to view lab for agilent E3631A triple output power supply in constant voltage mode, and I want to update to operate in constant current mode also. But I can't find any function in the Instrument of e/s, which is related to the current but only the current limit I already used to write my programs to the constant voltage mode. How can I do this?

  Thank you

  When the current exceeds the current limit, the power supply will be running constant.  The food isn't really have one running constant set.

• T61 does not start

  I saw major emergency and in full panic mode.

  EU back from lunch and my T61 screen was black. Handlebar space bar and the mobile mouse does not wake. I used the power button / stop to stop.

  The computer will not contribute to that. When I push the power button / green lights appear and it is as if it was about to start, then I get a series of 3 beeps. Long-term follow-up of two short films (beeeep beep beep). That's all.

  I removed the battery and let it set for awhile, battery has been replaced and got the same result. I was not able to get anything to display on screen - just three beeps when I try to start.

  I have a T61 with Windows 7 (7662CTO).

  Help, please!

  
  

• guidance inertia temperature control

  Dear people,

  I would ask for advice from experienced people in control theory.

  Recently, I'm working on a very interesting device, it is called inertial guidance vacuum calorimeter (there is a type of isothermal calorimeter). I'm doing a new LabView program for this camera, and I try to increase its stability/accuracy as much as I can. This calorimeter can measure heat sample level micro-watt powers. The principle of measurement is the following (see attached diagram):

  We want to measure the heat flowing from the outside door-sample, this is done via Peltier (thermoelectric sensor) sensor. To obtain valid data, temperature must be very precisely constant everywhere in the calorimeter (isothermal method). The inner parts of the calorimeter thermally protected against ambient temperature with blank shields and high radiation. Double room empty closed circulates water through a heat exchanger, the heat reservoir.

  For thermal stability, there are 3 loops controlled:

  1 control loop. : this controls using PID, (method of classic platinum resistance 4W) constant water temperature

  2 control loop. : this is the first step to stabilize the temperature of the inner part, PID loop classic platinum resistance and drives a pump to Peltier heat between the support and the "base". This can achieve only a constancy of temperature around 0.1 mK.

  3 control loop. : when the ultimate stability is reached with the control loop 2, it is off, and his conduct of the current production constant value. Now the loop3 begins, and that's the tricky part: there is a cylindrical copper heavy 'inertial mass' with high calorific value (much higher then the base) standing on the base. Because it has a high calorific, even temperature fluctuations very tiny in the performance of temperature-controlled database a measurable voltage in the thermoelectric sensor between inertial mass and the base. This value is measured by the meter nanovoltage (Keithley). So I use this value to control the heat under the base pumps.  In principle, if there is no heat flowing between inertial mass and the base, we are in thermal equilibrium.

  With this concept, it is possible the stability of temperature range well below nanokelvins!

  Recently, I play with the control settings, but only using simple PID controls (I have the PID toolkit). The method explained above is a kind of analogy of inertial guidance in mechanical control. I wonder if someone could give me advice or direction how I could further improve the stability of this control. Perhaps some more advanced control system? Feed-forward?

  Thank you very much for the advice,

  Kind regards

  If I follow correctly, the feedback control loop 3 is measured using the Keithley via GPIB.  And these readings take approximately 0.6 seconds. The control loop cannot work faster than the measurement system (unless you want a lot more unstable!).  Most high precision instruments offer a compromise between resolution and speed.  I took a look at the profile of 2182 and it seems you may have need of any resolution, so accelerate may not be an option.

  The approach of bottle neck is probably a good with all that you have done so far.  It will help you to avoid putting too much time into something that won't make much improvement.

  Another thought: how noisy/drifty are power supplies/amplifiers driving Peltier devices?  I worked on a system several years ago, where the objective was stability uK ~ 10 and noise and drift in the power circuits were the main limitations.  Most of the engineers designing such devices never think of parts per million or fractions.  Especially with the slow return of nanovoltmeter, drift or noise in the power circuts could be important.  Also look at how the constant output mode that the external loops are open loop constantly.
