Usually, when returning from this state, you'll see a kind of phantom gray
mockery of the start up progress bar screen, which is similar but with a
weirdly different appearance.
I had occasion to work on the last MacBook Pro model with a removable battery
last week, and discovered a weird Appl
Well then, I will take your word for it. (And I'm not Michael, I'm C D.)
Most of my experiences with pram batteries were in the original candy colored
(VW bug) style iMacs. When they got low enough, they would prevent the machine
from booting, but as long as the machine was running, it would run

When you knock the power connector out and the battery exhausts itself, macOS
will cause the machine to hibernate when the battery gets below a certain
percentage, just so that it can keep the state alive like an internal battery
would have, until you power it up again. Of course, if you leave i
Michael,
With all due respect, you are wrong. A bad PRAM battery will cause problems
on a machine that is fully plugged in. They are often subtle and non-repeatable
(hence my procedure to diagnose involving over 48 hours), but they do happen.
In the past I have fixed problems this way, so I k

While this is true, even in the older systems a bad PRAM battery would cause
mischief only when the machine was disconnected from all other power (for a
laptop, that means adapterless and batteryless; for a desktop, that means
unplugged or shut off with the power button, not slept). Otherwise, t
Delete the certificate. Next time you run into a situation that requires that
certificate, a correct one (if there is one) will be refetched; if there isn't
one, you should get an appropriate diagnostic rather than a crash.

Michael,
I think you are misunderstanding what it going on with a bad PRAM battery.
The time being off is a side-effect, not the proximate cause of the problems
(restarts, etc). The problem is that the clock is not trustable (so not always
going the right direction), along with the maintainin
Heh, I had tried that to no avail... until I relaunched Mail.app. Now my sounds

Thanks for the tip!

Well, yes and no.
It's true a system clock time being set badly can screw up the encryption
services, and that's one thing that a dead internal battery will cause. I save
installation packages for all past OSX systems, and to install them I often
have to set the system clock way back to be wit

Maybe a few days midweek.

I have no idea if this is the problem, but back when I was in the
troubleshooting Macs business one problem I ran into was the PRAM battery (yes,
wrong name, but...) going bad. It would cause all sorts of mysterious problems
until replaced.
The way of checking for this was to:

This is unhappy for me also; I have gotten two panics in just about a week.
Absolutely nothing odd recorded in the system log.
Meanwhile, on reboot, I see this message in the log:

I would like to play a custom sound file (.mp3) whenever an email arrives from

In Mail.app Preferences, one can define a rule, but it's limited to choosing

Tried to find the last reboot which *I think* was between 09 & 09:30am.
All I could find in the system log was that it rebooted shortly after 9:00 am
with no specified reason. The other logs didn’t tell me anything that I could
understand but it may be that I have the time wrong and am theref
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for the help !
I'll try that this week-end !

Look at System Information for your current uptime. Compute the time of your
last reboot. Launch Console and look at the system log, the Diagnostic Reports
folders (2), and the CrashReporter folder to see what macOS claimed was the
reason for the reboot.

Hi all:
I keep getting random restarts. Whilst I’m away from the machine it will
perform a restart for no reason I can determine. I have had problems with the
power prefs not sticking but that appears to have been solved.
The machine feels warm but not unduly, so I don’t think it’s temperatur
