4. In System Information window, from the File menu, click on Save… to save your entire system profile in a file. Then send this file to us.

Notes: It is preferable to capture the system profile while the problem is occurring. If this is not possible, capture your system profile even if the problem as already occurred or has not occurred yet. If possible, collect both profiles beforehand and after.

B. To retrieve detailed Kernel Logs, please follow the steps below:

1. Download the DiagCDU script here.

2. Unzip this zip file and double click on the the script file: DiagCDU_v6.command.

3. Then a new file named: CRI_CDU_diag.tar.gz will be generated, please email this file to us.

C. The system diagnosis information (sysdiagnose), can be triggered by pressing Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift-Period, and it may take a few minutes to complete. When ready, the output will automatically be revealed in a Finder window (or it can be manually retrieved from /var/tmp)

Notes: System Diagnosis may generate the file that is too large (such as 20MB) to email to us, please only send this diagnosis file over if you are told to do so.
