My iMac was rock stable, right up until I installed Mountain Lion on it. Then, at random times, it would suddenly reboot. Fortunately, most of it seemed to happen at night – I'd get up in the morning and find my Mac had rebooted.
In 1984, Apple debuted the operating system that is now known as the 'Classic' Mac OS with its release of the original Macintosh System Software.The system, rebranded 'Mac OS' in 1996, was preinstalled on every Macintosh until 2002 and offered on Macintosh clones for a short time in the 1990s. SONAR Mac Prototype. A collaboration between Cakewalk and CodeWeavers. Several months ago, we promised to deliver a SONAR Mac Alpha. To build it, we collaborated with a company called CodeWeavers. CodeWeavers has a technology called CrossOver that is basically a Windows-to-Mac translator, allowing native Windows applications to run on a Mac. A typical computer prototype is a.horizontal. prototype. It's high-fi in look and feel, but low-fi in depth - there's no backend behind it. Where a human being simulating a paper prototype can generate new content on the fly in response to unexpected user actions, a computer prototype cannot.
Weird.
So, I finally got around to investigating the problem – I had't seen any good blog posts on it (most of them were things like take it to a Mac Genius). Finally, I found a hint buried in an Apple forum: the problem stems from Spotlight. The indexes for Spotlight get corrupted, and that causes the reboot. Ah-ha! So the solution is pretty simple – have Spotlight dump all it's current stuff, and build up again from new. Of course, there's not an obviously marked way to do this 🙂
Prototype Game Mac
Go into System Preference, and select Spotlight. Pong2020 (inimod) mac os. Click on the Privacy tab. There probably isn't anything listed under 'Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations:' We're going to add one. Hit the '+' at the bottom, and select your Mac's hard drive, and click Choose. It's now in the list.
Close System Preferences, and reboot your Mac once. Then, go back into System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy, and remove the drive you added. Just click on the drive in the list, then click '-' at the bottom of the list.
After that, everything had been going great! 🙂 No more random reboots for me 🙂
One additional bit: Having Mountain Lion randomly reboot is a lot less painful than when versions older than Lion would reboot. Most of the apps I use are state aware, so for the most part when the iMac comes back up restores all my workspaces to what it was before 🙂
