  • My first and gut reaction would be to lose Norton, which, IMO is itself a virus. ClamAV is fine for Macs and there are no virii anyway. Only malware that one has to invite onto the platform. I have had similar problems, albeit in the PC world with similar products in which they would not always act the same way.

Apr 04, 2018 More recently, I got an interesting comment on it. The poster asked if it was possible to get a deadlock with a single lock and an I/O operation. My first gut reaction was “no, not really”, but it got me thinking. So let’s try to unroll the scenario and see if we can reason at least about my gut feeling.

Mac

If you think your Mac might have a hardware issue, you can use Apple Diagnostics to help determine which hardware component might be at fault. Apple Diagnostics also suggests solutions and helps you contact Apple Support for assistance.

Prepare your Mac

  1. Shut down your Mac.
  2. Disconnect all external devices except keyboard, mouse, display, Ethernet connection (if applicable), and connection to AC power.
  3. Make sure that your Mac is on a hard, flat, stable surface with good ventilation.

Start Apple Diagnostics

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:

Apple silicon

  1. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button as your Mac starts up.
  2. Release when you see the startup options window, which includes a gear icon labeled Options.
  3. Press Command (⌘)-D on your keyboard.

Intel processor

  1. Turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold the D key on your keyboard as your Mac starts up.
  2. Release when you see a progress bar or you're asked to choose a language.

View the test results

Apple Diagnostics shows a progress bar while it's checking your Mac:

When testing is complete, Apple Diagnostics shows the results, including one or more reference codes. Learn about Apple Diagnostics reference codes.

To repeat the test, click “Run the test again” or press Command-R.

To restart your Mac, click Restart or press R.

To shut down, click Shut Down or press S.

To get information about your service and support options, make sure that your Mac is connected to the internet, then click ”Get started” or press Command-G. Your Mac will restart to a webpage with more information. When you're done, choose Restart or Shut Down from the Apple menu.

Learn more

On an Intel-based Mac, if you can't start Apple Diagnostics with the D key, try these solutions:

  • Press and hold Option-D at startup to use Apple Diagnostics over the internet.
  • Make sure that your Mac isn't using a firmware password.

Let me apologize, folks. The Infinite Mystery of God’s existence has caused everyone no end of bafflement and trouble for the past 3,800 years, and although I discovered the definitive answer some time ago, I haven’t actually done anything with it, apart from jotting it down as a to-do item in my Palm. That was pure carelessness on my part.

In any event, yes, God does indeed exist, for better or for worse. If you’re unwilling to just take my word for it, consider this: in all of world literature, only two years are also titles of classic novels: 1984 and 2001. And Steve Jobs chose both of those years for Apple to roll out new operating systems designed to blast apart the existing hegemony.

Of course, we shouldn’t take mere coincidence as the sole proof of a Divine Being’s existence. But it does represent precisely the sort of cheap irony you’d expect God to go for. God created the coconut, which provides vital nourishment, fiber, and drinking water, and He included utensils with it (just break off a piece!) so that humanity could readily access and enjoy it all. And then He stuck it 50 feet above our reach in a tree with no branches.

Similarly, He chose to have Chairman Steve make his first play during the year in which George Orwell predicted we would be struggling against a totalitarian dictatorship. And now, during the year in which Arthur C. Clarke predicted we would transcend our clumsy human forms and move to the next stage of cosmic enlightenment, Chairman Steve is back for a second act.

(The Infinite Mystery of why Steve Jobs continues to wear those black mock turtlenecks at important functions remains for the next generation of theologians to ponder, however.)

Thus Spake Jobs

Like it or not, Mac OS X is meant to have the same effect on us as Macintosh System 1.0 had on the MS-DOS world. This time, we are the enemy-and sure enough, Mac users’ grumblings began with Apple’s very first, very cautious demonstration of the Aqua interface.

The more I work with OS X, the more my attitudes and opinions-about almost every aspect of it-flip-flop. I mean, I generally like the Aqua interface, but I worry that Apple has traded elegance for flash. I like the new browser-based Finder, but dangit, it takes up a lot of room on my screen.

And while some people’s first experience with Mac OS X was loading up Microsoft Internet Explorer, mine was compiling GNU source code and excitedly seeing how much I could exploit Mac OS X’s Unix heritage. I’m as captivated by X’s Unix underpinnings as an Adam Sandler fan is by shiny objects. And yet . . . several times in the course of the past year, I’ve skidded around a corner in Mac OS X and found myself transported to the dark, humid realms of lowercase backslash directories when I wasn’t expecting it. It’s dampened my enthusiasm for X every single time. Um, this is still Mac OS, right?

All of this is hot stuff. I can get a lot of cocktail-party conversation out of those comments. But (and I offer this only as a remote possibility) could I be, simply, full of it? Am I evaluating Mac OS X as a brand-new operating system? Or am I just rebelling against having to rethink my 15-year-old definition of the Macintosh experience, as Mac OS X’s architects have done?

Everyone’s going through the same ordeal. It’s delightful and thrilling and frightening. All around me, folks are running around, looting stores, and proclaiming that the End of the Mac is nigh while helping themselves to a couple of DVD players at Best Buy. Others, thoroughly hypnotized by those pulsating buttons, have embraced Mac OS X and are making it do wonderful things that Macs can otherwise manage only in cartoons.

Knee-Jerk Rebels

When we were teenagers, we rebelled against anything and everything that registered on our radar. As we made our way into adulthood, we exploited our rebellious impulses a little more efficiently, focusing them on the issues we deemed truly important.

Eventually, though, we’ve all got to realize that the things it’s most important to rebel against are our own hard-won principles and preconceptions-to realize that sometimes there’s a difference between the Right Way and what we’ve merely come to think of as the Right Way. Our gut-level distaste for something new is less about our reaction to the thing in question than it is about our fears of abandoning the familiar and comfortable.

What Is A Gut Reaction

Gut

The computer world faced that challenge in 1984. Some of us were apoplectic with joy about the first Mac and embraced it right away, even though in many ways it was about as useful as a camel that could yodel Gershwin. Others fell in love but managed to restrain themselves until the Mac became a more practical alternative to the status quo. Still others remain unmoved.

2001 will go down as the Proving Year for Mac OS X. People will buy software for it. Apple will release updates for it. Surely, like the original Mac, Mac OS X won’t be truly finished until it arrives at its equivalent of System 4.0. Until then, we won’t know whether that ending will be like 1984 ‘s, in which our impotence against the will of the collective is proved, or like 2001 ‘s, in which humankind gains the ability to play among the stars.

Regardless of the outcome, 2001 will be remembered as the year in which the Mac community irrevocably grew up. And you’ll see how 2001 won’t be like “1984”: This time, the blond woman in running shorts isn’t hurling a hammer at a video image of Big Brother-she’s throwing it at a mirror.
