Macbook pro seems not to be shut down normally after adding one more user account

after i have created a new user account and i tried to shut it down, it does not appear a white background on the screen to let me know if the pc was in the process. After few second the screen becomes black and it shuts down.
I tried to turn on the pc and it works normally but when i shuts my pc down, the same problem appears.
I have already delected one user account but the problem still appears.
I am not sure is it ok or not?
i am a new user to apple product.

I experienced the same problem. What I noticed that problem seems to occur more often when bluetooth is switched on. For instance, today I wanted to switch off bluetooth connectivity before switching off laptop completely. The bluetooth icon in menu bar from some strange reason froze completely, rest of programs and OS were working fine. When I wanted to switch off the laptop it happened again, it froze and the only way to switch it off was to hold power button.

  • MacBook Pro will not finish a shut-down.

    I have a repeating problem. Starting with 10.5.5 on my 2.2 ghz MacBook Pro 15" (mid-2007) I began having big problems getting it to restart and to shut-down. I was getting ridiculous hangs.
    I would find my machine in the morning with the fan still going and looking like it was shut down. I would hit the ON button and nothing would happen. So I had to hold down the ON button for a long time until a full manual shut-down occurred, and then I could restart my machine. This happened with most, but not all of my restarts, and just about all of my shut-downs.
    Then I upgraded to a unibody MacBook Pro 15". I migrated my user, and then found I still had the problem. I was convinced it was a problem with 10.5.5. I had a lot of Finder trouble also that started right after that update.
    Well, I thought all was well with 10.5.6, but it was not to be. I am still getting a lot of hangs, but mostly only with shut-downs. My restarts seem to make it through.
    I am very frustrated, and wondering what to do. I am thinking of calling Tech Support, as this is happening on a new machine.

  • Macbook Pro mid 2012 unable to shut down normally

         I'm currently running Mavericks, and recently my mac has this problem where it will randomly become unresponsive to the shutdown signal, no matter how long I wait, and I am forced to hold down the power button until it shuts down that way. Paired with this issue is the inability to open new applications (the application symbol bounces in the dock like it should, but instead of opening it just disappears and nothing happens) and to save currently open files, regardless if this is in something simple like TextEdit or a program like Eclipse. In this last case, I just get an error message that straight up says "unable to save file," so I can't even leave my mac on at all times as a temporary solution because I'm unable to do any work without losing it.
         I'm unable to reproduce this problem at will because it just happens for no reason at random times.
         Usually after the hard shut down I can turn it back on and it will boot normally and everything will run smoothly until the next time this happens again, which can be as soon as 20 minutes later. Every now and then, however, I get this weird thing
    and my mac just freezes, forcing me to hard shut it down yet again.
    Anybody know what the problem could be? Also, I'm new to this forum so if I didn't provide enough information just let me know and I'll do my best to clarify.
    Many thanks.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

    Hey Sarahbetts,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the MacBook will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced.

    My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
    Help.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

    It is possible that you may need a new PRAM battery.

  • HT4628 My macbook pro will not automatically reconnect to the wifi after a sleep. This has started after having upgraded to mountain Lion (10.8).

    Hi
    After I have installed Mountain Lion (10.8) - my macbook pro will not connect automatically to my preferred wifi network. It used to do that on the previous versions. It seems that the mac does not recognize the preferred network, as it asks me to choose a network after evey sleep/restart. I have modified the network preference to have my preferred netwrok at the top of the list. I have tried with/without checking the "ask me before joining a new network". It still behaved the same.
    Thanks

    Try making a new network connection and renewing the DCHP lease as detailed here:

  • Went from Mountain Lion to Yosemite on 2009 MacBook Pro.  Safari now randomly shuts down; Word doesn't work properly; iPhoto will not upload pics from iPhone; EVERYTHING is horribly slow.  How to I go back to Mountain Lion?

    Is there a way to go back to Mountain Lion after updating to Yosemite?  Yosemite has caused nothing but problems in multiple programs.  Mountain Lion ran fine.  Not sure why I even updated.  I am NOT a computer guru so instructions I have read for the many Yosemite fixes blow my mind.  Should I be taking my MacBook Pro to the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store (2 hours away)?  I have been a Mac user and lover for many years and am SO frustrated and disappointed in all of it right now.  Please advise on what a non-tech frustrated Mac user can do.

    Technically, you can downgrade if you have the following:
    Your computer must be elligible to run Mountain Lion. If your computer came with Mavericks or Yosemite out of the box, you can forget it.
    You need an already existing Mountain Lion installer file. If you still have that somewhere, for example in your Applications folder, or anywhere else, it's usable- note that it needs to be originally downloaded with your own Apple ID and password. If you made a Mountain Lion USB installer or DVD back then that would work too. If your Time Machine back-ups go back to the days of Mountain Lion or Lion you could check your Applications folder from inside Time Machine and restore it to your computer.
    To not have data loss you need a Time Machine back-up that goes back to when you were still running Mountain Lion. Please note that this will revert your data to exactly the date that you choose. If you installed Mavericks 2 months ago, you will loose 2 months worth of data.

  • Macbook Pro turns back on when shut down....

    Hey there. So I have a Macbook Pro (obviously) and here is what has happened lately. When I shutdown the computer, it shuts down, but then instead does a restart and comes back on right away. Now, I am 100% sure that I am hitting Shut Down, not Restart. Any idea why this happens? Any idea how to fix it once and for all? Thanks so much!

    I have the same problem, but mine doesn't start back up immediately. I shut it down at night, wake up to go to work with the computer still turned off, come back 8 hours later and it turned itself on. Unlike others in this forum who have reported similar troubles, this issue happens whether I close the lid or not.
    I have only made 2 recent changes to the computer at the time it started occurring: started using a Bluetooth keyboard and installed Leopard. So today I shut off Bluetooth to test, and the same thing happened. If you have recently installed Leopard, our issues may be one in the same.
    I'm going to try resetting the PRAM and SMC tonight, to see if the Leopard installation broke the settings on those 2 chips. I suggest that you try the same.

  • MacBook Pro won't Sleep or Shut Down

    My MacBook Pro won't go to sleep or shut down.
    Sleep
    The behaviour is the same whether I press the power button and choose 'Sleep' or whether I choose 'Sleep' from the Apple menu. The computer stays awake, but it loses the ability to respond to Keyboard Shortcuts, such as those used for Expose, and can get stuck in some Apps. If I close the lid the computer stays awake but the screen blacks out. Re-openning the lid does not re-illuminate the screen so I have to force shut down and re-boot.
    *Shut Down*
    The behaviour is erratic. Sometimes the computer simply ignores me (although it does close the 'Are you sure you want to Shut Down now?' window), and sometimes it goes to the blue screen with the progress circle and hangs.
    *What I've tried already*
    - Resetting the SMC
    - Checked the Firmware versions are the latest

    Sorry for the repost. New to this forum and I hadn't seen the answers to the last time I brought up this topic here:

  • MacBook Pro (retina late-2013) randomly shut down and now won't turn on again

    My first submission on here
    I recently bought a MBPR a few days ago and was working seamlessly. Today I had taken it off charge to watch a couple videos and talk to a few people online. While I was doing this, the MacBook Pro was rested on a couch so I'm certain ventellation was fine.
    Then at one point it shut down unexpectedly. I was able to turn if back on, thinking it might be battery but as it booted back up I saw that it was on 65%. I then continued to use it and by the time it reach ~60% it shut down again. This time I wasn't able to boot it up again at all. I pressed the pwer button, plugged it into power and pressed it again and even tried an SMC reset. The AC's indicator LED flashed from orange to green (as it is suppoed to with SMC resets) but it would still not turn on after I pressed the power button again.
    Please help, this computer is brand new and I am not sure what could have caused this.
    Thank you

    I have picked up my brand new MBPR on the 4th as well, and last night restarted for the first time after software update ( mavericks ) and after 3 hours hours of grey screen with spinning wheel called APPLE who again never knows what they are talking about because they keep saying " we never heard about that " when I called about the same issue on my 17 inch 2 months ago. So I called 3 times this morning and when I let them know that I am quite " puzzled " that every time I mention a Maverick Issue suddensly my call gets disconnected, and nobody calls me back when THEY SWEAR they took notes of my call bacl number. Last call a few minutes ago, I spoke to a supervisor and talked for 45 minutes about all issues and when he expressed concern about me recording the call I told him " You guys record my calls, so where does it say where I couldn't record yours if I wanted to ? " and the supervisor hung up on me... Way to Go APPLE!!! I've been an apple devotee since I first got my apple lisa in 1984 but they have only been going to " s*** " the last 2-3 years.
    So DIGGLY, do like I will this morning and return your purchase!

  • MacBook Pro goes grey screen, then shuts down randomly

    My MacBook Pro (just purchased 3 months ago, not retina) shuts down unexpectedly. The screen goes grey, then it just shuts down after a few minutes. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to fix?

    You need to reset the SMC on your Macbook.
    * Shutdown your MacBook Pro
    * Connect the power adapter to your Mac
    * On the MacBook's keyboard, hold down the Shift+Control+Option keys and the Power button at the same time
    * Release all keys and the power button at the same time
    * Boot your Mac as usual

  • Late-2009 Macbook Pro 10.9.2 Random Shut Down

    My Macbook has started intermittently shutting down while in use anywhere from 10 min. to 4hrs  after startup. I took it to the Genius bar where they advised me to unistall Chrome and remove several Launch Daemons. After removing those, my computer ran well for 3 days after which it began shutting down again. Today it began to shut down (screen off, indicator light off), resist restart (would not power back on for over 15 mins), and then switch back on without going through the normal startup procedures. AHT said that everything was in working order and I have already reset the SMC. Currently I can't keep my computer on for more than a couple minutes at a time so I will post my kernel panic log ASAP.

  • My 2012, 17" macbook pro starts, gray screen and shuts down.

    Anybody knows why my 2012, 17" macbook pro is starting with gray screen and mac logo and shuts down after?
    I have Mavrick on. Last night i tried to use itunes and got an error for the first time. It said " itunes was corrupted or not installed correctly" . There is no reason because i listened to music just day before. After working on some docs i shut down the laptop. This morning when i tried to start up it didnt happened. Tried all shortcuts to do recorvery. It said " mac HD and Recorvery HD" both are blocked and not accessible.
    Ran another doagnoses, checked hard drive and got errors.
    I cant see why hard drive might be damaged.
    Plz help me out. I didnt do any backup and dont ant to reformat it.
    Thanks
    -Soleil

    Well, i tried different things. First tried Recorvery start. It showed mac HD and Recovery HD but i couldnt choose any, said it was locked.
    When i diagnosed the hard drive, dont remember exactly but it ran the HD test and on red showed Hard Drive damaged.
    Tonight after putting this questions here i tried again Online Help option, i could see all my folders, files, applications but couldnt open any. It was using Safari.
    Not sure whats going on. All started with getting slow and i didnt turn the laptop off "was on sleep" for few days till last night.
    Like i said before, last night i couldnt start iTunes, but didnt pay attention to it and shut off laptop. Only if i knew it wont start up again.. :-(

  • MacBook Pro won't boot and shut down on its own.

    Hi, I am running a Macbook Pro. My problem is that the OS froze during use, and I could not move the cursor. As which point I force shut down by holding the powerswitch. From that point onwards I could not get the machine to boot, it keep getting stuck at the grey screen with Apple icon. After loading at the grey screen for 15-20 mins it shuts down on its own.
    I've tried to reset SMC (shift-control-option + power button) and PRAM (Command-Option-P-R) but it dint work. Please help. Thanks.

    It appears your problem occured after you upgraded to 10.8.2, but if you did it right after the SSD and RAM switch then it's hard to tell exactly what is causing the issue.
    I advise returning back to factory, hold command option r boot and wipe everything and reinstall 10.8
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If the problem continues, then make a warranty/AppleCare call, hopefully you didn't strip the screw heads or leave any other tell tale damage inside.
    If your fine on 10.8.2 for some time, then switch the RAM and do a hardware test extended or Rember or Memtest to make sure the new RAM is not the issue.
    If that's fine then Carbon Copy Cloner to the external SSD and hold option key down to boot from it and test that.
    Then do the internal SSD switch and test that.
    Take your time, Mac's are so finicky and you can't just slap this or that and expect it all to immediatly work like it should.
