The last couple of days when using my older mac laptop, A black box pops up telliing me to power off my computer? what is this about?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Sounds like you got a kernel panic. Check this link.http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS3742 This link shows what you need to do. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201753 If we see the panic report, someone may be able to help you.
Sounds like a kernel panic OS X: About kernel panics - Apple Support If you can post a recent panic report it may shed some light on whats causing it Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic - Apple Support
Ok that's probably what it is. What exactly is a kernel panic anyway? I did sent a report to Apple like the pop said. Now what do I do?
We wanted you to post a copy of that report in here, so someone could look at it and possibly help you. I posted a link about kernel panics did you read it all including the links inside it? Kernel panic's are basically conflicts in your system. They can be hardware or software related.
ok here is the report: mind you I have no understanding of any of this stuff.

Now that I posted all this internal stuff about my computer, I'm a little nervous about some one in the hacker world gaining access to my computer. Do I need to worry here?
You've posted no information that will compromise your security.
Before you do anything make sure that you have a complete backup of your system and files. Start up from your original install DVD or a Snow Leopard retail disc and run Disk Utility. Repair the hard drive, not permissions the drive.
I am not sure how to back up my files and my system. I don't have the original install DVD either.
PLez i need help for App stor if i wante dawnlode for evre thang he need iOS 6.0 i dont no for where
Hi there. You need an external drive to back up you internal drive, ether manually on using time machine. You can go to the online apple store and get a Snow Leopard install disk for $19.99 Could possibly have them at local apple store also.
What does it mean when a black box pops up telling me to shut down my mac
