Why is my iMac with a new drive hard gel?

My iMac is constantly freezing top/beachballing randomly (often when I'm only running Safari and browsing on Facebook). When I check the activity monitor, the main user is a task kernal. I can't understand what it is!  I did a scan of EtreCheck and he found "failures" involving mainly Adobe. But I can't say what is causing these kernal task uses as well as constant accidents (daily). I have a brand new computer (less than 6 months) and a hard drive hybrid very new (one month) 4 t. I have three external drives connected via a hub USB (backup discs), so I don't know if that could be causing the problem. It is not material, because I had the computer for Apple three separate times and got the new hard drive. And of course, the problem can be reproduced by the technicians. Any ideas? My man repair said the last thing he can think to do is wiping my hard drive completely, then put it manually only the back files that I use. But this is not like a big challenge for me, especially if one of the files that I use is the cause of the problem. Help! Thank you. (I've posted this earlier in response to another thread, but thought it might get more responses as a separate discussion.)

Please after the release of EtreCheck

<https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6174>

<http://etrecheck.com>

so we can see it.

The kernel_task is the heart and soul of Mac OS X.  Often called the kernel of the operating system. The ILO is the lowest level of the software on the system.  It is in control of everything.  Planning tasks, manages memory, performs i/o asked, etc...

You can try to start in safe mode

<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564>

It's just an experience, but it will NOT load one of the additions of 3rd party, you can have on your system.  If things are more stable in safe mode, it is a strong indication that there is some 3rd party additions that by interfering with your Mac.

  • Satellite P100-257 does not work with the new drive HARD WD SATA II 320 GB

    Please could someone knows how to solve my problem.
    I bought new HARD drive to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite P100-257:
    Western Digital SATA II WD3200AAKS 320 16 MB
    (Originally was installed Toshiba MK6034GSX 60 GB HARD drive)
    When installing Windows XP (from Toshiba disk recovery or all other disks), when the Installer starts copying the files to the temporary directory HDD (after HDD format) encounter a problem like "cannot write files to the HARD drive.
    I tried to format the drive before installation (even to split to 2 smaller logical drives).
    Also I have updated the BIOS at 2009-03-04.
    But nothing changes.
    What is the problem?

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive has been recognized because you can receive the error message about the Master Boot Record.

    I think that there is something wrong with the partitions on the HARD disk.
    I put t know how you formatted the HARD drive, but I think that you must first reinstall the operating system on a partition in order to check the functionality of the HARD drive.

    Once you have started using the Windows XP disk, try to create more than one partition and this format to NTFS. Then follow the installation of the OS!

    Thanks for the reply with the details,

    You can activate the Device Manager to view hidden devices by following the steps mentioned below:

    To work around this behavior and display devices when you click Show hidden devices:

    1. Click Start, point to programs, point to Accessories, and then click command prompt.
    2. At a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

      Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    3. Type the following command a command prompt and press ENTER:

      Start devmgmt.msc

    4. Troubleshoot the devices and drivers in Device Manager.

    For more details: click here

    Uninstall all software and drivers for printers:

    When you need to uninstall a driver completely, the best and safest method is to use the uninstaller of the device (if it has one). If you have added the device to your system with a Setup program (as is the case with most of the graphics card and sound card drivers, for example), you can uninstall it as you would any other program.

    1. Click Start, type uninstall program, and then press enter.
    2. In the uninstall window, which appears, scroll through the list and find your device or drivers. Double-click the entry to start the uninstall process.

    Sometimes devices will not have an uninstall program or the uninstall program will not appear in the list. In these cases, you can use Device Manager to remove the driver completely.

    1. Click Start, type Device Managerand press enter.
    2. Find and double click on the category of the device you want to uninstall (for example, the graphic card would be listed under display card) driver.
    3. Right click on the device, and then click Uninstall.
    4. Windows prompts you to confirm the removal of the device. Click OK to remove the driver.
    5. Once the uninstall is complete, restart your computer as soon as possible.

    Once the above steps are done, click here to download the full software features for your printer and follow the Setup process to start to use your printer again.

    I would like to know if these measures worked for you.  If they did, it's great!  Give us some reinforcements by clicking on the solution and laurels, buttons that help and others see that we have the answers!
    Good luck.

  • Can I access on my iMac with MacBook cd drive

    Can I access on my iMac with MacBook cd drive

    You can if share you it on the network.   But you need to enable the sharing of files on the CD while it is inserted in the Mac by reading the information in the file menu, select it in the Finder.      Unfortunately the MacBook not having Firewire or love at first sight, you cannot use Disk Mode target using the player.

    It can be slow, is it a USB - C ethernet card or WiFi.    If you want to make sure you get the highest possible speed a USB optical drive should work fine.  http://www.MacSales.com/ made a few that actually work very well with Macs.

  • Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

    And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

    This SSD model will be compatible?

    Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

    Thank you very much

    Guy

    Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

    The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

    With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

    Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

    do I have to remove the keyboard?
    wath is the GB limit

    Hi Theo,.

    HARD drive is mounted on your machine fest, and it is not easy to change. First you have to remove the keyboard, then view and top of page coverage too. If you want to do it yourself, be careful. If you do something wrong, it can be very expensive.

    It is not easy to say which is the limit of the HARD drive, but I'm sure you can use 10 GB with no problems. Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Perhaps, they can give you specific information.

  • New drive HARD &amp; OS errors-&gt; HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    New drive HARD & OS errors---> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Can not install Win XP on another hard drive

    I work with a...
    HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Original SATA HDD is loaded with Windows 7 Pro.

    In order to install a program using this PC as a digital video recorder
    I installed the video capture PCI card and related software. I had problems
    associated with software and Windows 7.

    I know that the software works with Windows XP.
    Do not want to remove the original HDD, I tried my win7
    to replace the HARD drive and do a clean install of XP.

    I get the same error during the installation of the OS.  I tried different
    SATA and different XP install disks.

    The error I get is shown in this photo.

    Original HP HARD drive is a Hitachi 160 GB

    I tried 2 known to be good SATA drives.
    Seagate 500GB
    WD 80 GB

    I checked the bios settings and even revenue tio rear BIOS
    default settings.

    I get this error even with everything I tried to do.

    This happens during the OS install just after or during the process of the installation of temporary files are current

    written to the HD.

    When I re - install the original HD loaded with Win7, everything works as it
    expected.

    Any ideas on what] s going on here?

    Hello:

    The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.

    Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.

    Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/m-p/114120#M17758

    The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.

    The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller.  If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.

    Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.
