Kernel: IOSurface buffer allocation size is zero
I tend to receive the above message when listening to Itunes, this message can cause itunes to pause the music and sometimes cause the whole system to crash. Although it does not affect spotify.
I have only recently found out what the problem is, this problem has been going on for a long time. it does get annoying after sometime that your music pauses.
The list of text below has been copied from my Kernel.log and shows that this problem is quite prominent.
Would there be a olution to this? I have previously reinstalled my Operating system, after the reinstallation the problem occurs again. Even after an upgrade to OS X Lion the problem is still there
