After using iTunes my Mac doesn't shut down!

My MacBookPro doesn't shut down after using iTunes. I have try anything and the apple support can't also help me.
I can only stop my Mac with the power button. If I don't use iTunes I have no problems to shut down the Mac.
Have anybody a similar problem and can help me? Thanks

It's so curious...
I found something at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17590111#17590111
I'm not sure whether this issue caused by Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist.

  • After using PSCS5, my Mac will not shut down normally.

    Whenever I open and use PS, then close it down, my Mac will not restart or shut down; it gets as far as that ‘wheel of death’ which keeps on turning, turning and turning, I presume forever.  Force quitting PS permits closing down normally.  I have uninstalled PS, reinstalled it to no avail.  Thinking that my harddrive might be the problem, I ran it through TechTool Pro and that did not help.  So I must have some file responsible for it.  No other programs, Adobe or otherwise, cause this.  Any ideas?
    Mac OS 10.6.8      PS  v.12.1

    Have you reset your preferences?  A reinstall will not affect this file.
    Start PS and immediately hold down Cmd + Option + Shift keys.  You should get a reset window.

  • ITunes preventing Mac OS X Shutting down

    Whenever I start iTunes I am unable to shut down my Mac Pro.   Latest versions of OS and of iTunes.
    Same behavior whether I quite iTunes or leave it running before shut down.   When quitting iTunes it does actually appear to go away.
    However, something is lingering on that is getting in the way of a shut down.
    Any ideas?

  • After using PC Suite, windows won't shut down

    Hi,
    I'm using bootcamp on a Mac(laptop),
    running Win XP, SP2
    PC Suite 6.84.10.3
    Nokia 6288
    I connect to the internet via bluetooth and everything works fine until I diconnect. Most of the time when I click disconnect(and every time when I ttake the phone away till the signal disconnects), it won't connect again. Infact, it actually no longer searches for devices, will not detect the phone any more when I go through the "Get Connected" process.
    What's really annoying me is that windows will not shut down. It hangs on a blank blue screen after shutting everything else down. It also will no longer sleep or hibernate.
    I feel that its running something heavy in the backgrownd as my laptop gets quite hot after a while.
    This is a major problem not as its so damn annoying, but cousing Windows to crash constantly and hard rebooting windows couses damage and ongoing problems with windows. We know this operating system has plenty enough problems as it is.
    Any help with this issue would be massively appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kia

    it sounds to me that the driver for the bluetooth radio is failing on you.
    to prevent the computer from going to sleep, etc, the driver must be stuck in a wait state without a timer providing failure detection. you may want to send a bug report to someone (i imagine that would be apple, but i dont know - it's certainly not nokia, and beyond the scope of what microsoft ships with windows).
    on my powerbook i sometimes have a similar issue as you have described (in macosx, not windows, since i dont have an intel chip). when i have this problem, my bluetooth preferences cannot display my laptop's bluetooth name. perhaps you see this issue too?
    in macosx you can turn on/off the bluetooth radio. when i power cycle my bluetooth radio my problems subside. i believe this is due to the driver being unloaded (regardless of its failed state) and reloaded again when the hardware is once more available.
    i don't know how to turn on/off bluetooth radios in windows. microsoft's bluetooth implementation is notorious. their initial offerings lacked basic features all over the place (microsoft just extended their serial port drivers to tunnel through the bluetooth hardware - so in lala land bluetooth was nothing more than a serial port). i'm sure they've improved it since i lasted played with it, but i don't know that they've added everything that your hardware supports.
    maybe try using nokia's macosx software instead, and synchronizing between osx and windows via OS provided tools?
    good luck,
    -jared
    edit:
    what i mean to say is, perhaps use Parallels instead of Bootcamp. connect to the internet via macosx and share the internet connection from macosx to your windows apps.Message Edited by bitflung on 16-Oct-200705:03 PM
    N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
    (N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

  • After Leopard Install PPC MAc restarts then shuts down

    SO, I installed Leopard on a PPC mac 1.2 gig hz mac with firwire and DVD and 1.5 GHZ of memory. The install went okay (actually upgrade from last OSX), I got the Installed Okay message. The system shut down and restarted and then shut down again. That was it. What did I do wrong or what should I do. This is a family pack, I installed Leopard okay on my Macbook 1.8 ghz laptop just fine. Why will it not install on the Power PC mac? It is G4 AGP graphics. Is that the problem?

    You do not need another drive to do Migration, You need another Mac to do a migration. I see that you have a MacBook 1.8 ghz laptop, use that Mac to migrate the account, you can delete it off of the MacBook after you send it back to the AGP. besides this will save all of the setting and account information for your daughters Mac. Currently I have a 60GB HD on my AGP and it is able to operate Leopard and Home files just fine, Now to handle the the very large files and storage of archive data I have an external 160 Lacie HD Firewire. BTY. The AGP can only handle a Max of 128 GB HD (master). Anything larger is not used, even if the HD is partitioned, Slaves and external HD are OK for larger storage. Additionally after you have done all of your backups and save files and apps. You might want to try an "install and archive" first. Some AGP users have had success with it. I did not and had to do a complete reformatting. FYI. My current 60GB HD used to be my slave drive. I had the original drive HD as the Master and both were internal. the AGP provides the plugs and bracket inside the AGP for two drives. But the original drive started to go bad and I have to image/clone the drive and moved the Master to the 60GB HD and moved the data that was on the 60 to the new external 160.
    Additional: Make sure that you set the jumpers to either master or slave on the internal HD, and you can only have one master HD. Check HD information on how to set jumper for each brand.

  • When using iTunes it stops working and shuts down.

    I am unable to use the program at all, wether I am trying to sync my new iPod Touch or just to play music. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling the program and I am holding off on that until I find out if I am going to lose all of my music or not. Somebody, please help me.

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite my mac doesn't shut off. The off button doesn't work

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my mac doesn't shut off.  The off button no longer works. I want to shut the thing off.

    Jehreth,
    On my Macbook Pro you have to hold the power button down a moment till a little window pops up and asks what you would like to do. Also you can go to:
    (  ) Menu > Shut down ...
    to shutdown your Mac. Or are you saying that these options do not work?
    Hope that helps,

  • My Mac won't shut down after upgrading to Panther

    I recently upgraded to Panther 10.3 from Jaguar 10.2.9. After Panther had installed successfully, I used software update and I'm now running Panther 10.3.9. However, since then my Mac won't shut down. It doesn't hang or freeze - it just does nothing at all.
    I've made sure no applications are running or have frozen. I've tried booting up from the OS X disk and running Disk Repair, and I've also tried using the 'fsck' tool. (I entered '/sbin/fsck -f' in single-user mode). Nothing has worked.
    Now each time I want to shut down, I have to force shut down. Can anyone help?
    800 MHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.5 GB SDRAM

    Hard shutdowns can cause disk damage. You are better off leaving your Mac on until the problem is sorted.
    Have you disconnected all peripheral devices (unmount firewire drives before disconnecting) except Apple keyboard and mouse and tried shutdown? Often peripherals can kick back a signal to the cpu preventing shutdown.

  • When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

    When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Blue screen/Computer shuts down is almost always a hardware malfunction or a driver problem.
    Make sure your video driver is up to date.
    If it is, then the next suspect, in my mind, is overheating, make sure all of the fans in your CPU case are working properly.
