Hi guys (and girls) I know you know your stuff - so was hoping you may be able to help.

Recently I downloaded the latest version of Safari and from time to time (often when I have a few tabs open) my Macbook Pro (2011 model) comes up with the 'you need to restart your computer' screen. It doesn't seem to happen with safari. I've stopped using Safari for the time being because of this as it doesnt even save what else is open when i have to re-start. Has anyone else had anything like this happen? :confused:
 
I'm confused.
You say it happens when you use Safari and have a few tabs open, but in the next sentence you say, that it doesn't seem to happen with Safari.

I presume, since you have "Safari problem" as you thread title (very non-descript), you meant another browser in that second sentence.

Anyway, since you experience a kernel panic:
About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages
Resolving Kernel Panics
Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic

Maybe post your kernel panic report here and we can go from there.

Also what Mac do you have and what Mac OS X version is on it? Please be as specific as you can.

The source of your problem is cutting edge technology that has not been released yet.
 
Ha ha that'll be it! Mr Jobs has me testing out the new one (shhh) ;) 2010 I meant. Note to self, don't type with a hangover!
