Can't shut down cause it says calendar is stopping it?

For over a week now each time I try shutting my Mac Book Air it says iCalendar is preventing it.  It suggest I quit iCalendar and try the shutdown again.  However, when I do I get the same warning that iCalendar prevented the shutdown.  I don't know what to do!!!!!  I try doing the update to the operating system but that requires a Restart and when I try it I get the same error message and I go back to the same issue.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to quit Calendar. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Hi there, go in to the utilites of you applications folder and find "Mail" then go stop processes.
    If you cannot find Mail then open mail up and follow the process as above.

  • My macbook won't shut down.  Had MacDefender and followed all instructions for removal but still get told can't shut down cause their processes are running.  Any suggestions?

    I followed all directions and quit all processes, emptied trash etc.  When I try to shut down I get pop-ups telling me apps are running even though I quit them.  I can't install upgrades because I can't shut down.  Doing a hard reboot doesn't help at all.  Any suggestions?

    If any of the apps won't quit on you in future, try ti kill them in Terminal:
    killall Finder
    then hit enter
    If you don't know the official app name (how OS SX sees it), go to COMMAND_OPTION_ESCAPE and see the official name in the running app list.
    The power button method above works 100%, but will bypass saving of session states for all services, so your OS X could be unstable after reboot and won't remember some settings you had prior to shuting down. Use it only as a last resort.

  • HT5361 I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open.  It says to close mail and continue shut down.  Problem is I can't open or close mail now.  Can't shut down my computer at all.  What can I do?

    If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
    NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
    When you power back on, the Mac should reboot.

  • I can't shut down or restart, it keeps saying Photos are being imported to the photo library"

    Hello
    I have a Imac. I can't shut down or restart. It keeps giving me a pop up "Photos are being imported to the photo library". I can't even quit iPhoto.

    If you open iPhoto again and it won't shut down normally force quit again and do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Can't shut down my Mac desktop

    Ok, so I bought a Mac to get away from PC's, and only after two days of having it, I can't shut it down. I thought Mac's weren't supposed to have this problem. Here's the deal: I downloaded MS Office and then ran the software update. It said I had to shut down Mozilla in order to finish the install. I have tried force "quitting" Mozilla, but it won't shut down. So, I tried to stop the installation and when I force "quit" it it tells me "The Window can't be closed." So, I tried to shut down my mac and it says I have to stop the install in order to shut it down. Are you serious? I bought a Mac to get away from this problem, unfortunately I am still stuck with silly little issues like this! Please help! What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions and Mac-computing.
    First, what have you done to try and force quit Mozilla? Do you mean Firefox? Did you try control-click on the dock icon? Or from the drop-down click on force quit? Or command-option-esc?
    How did you download MS Office? From MS or another site?
    How did you try to shutdown the Mac?

  • How can i shut down depreciation for an Asset for few days??

    Hi Friends,
    How can i shut down depreciation of a particular Asset for few days say 5 days??
    I have done the necessary changes in Time dependent tab like checked asset shut down and in AFAMA i changed the shut dawn as YES.
    The only problem i am in is "how can i maintain the 5 days like from 10.05.2009 to 14.05.2009
    If i go to MORE INTERVALS then only From date is available over there.There is no To date opition.
    How can i maintain To Date??
    Plz suggest.
    Regards,
    Sumaya

    Hi
    Go for shut down approach. But your depreciation key should allow shut down. check your depreciation key configuration
    In asset master data
    Go to time dependent terms,
    Define the appropriate time interval for shutdown
    Set the shutdown indicator
    The system does not calculate the depreciation for the shut down period,
    The useful life of the asset will increase to the extent of shutdown period.
    When you remove the shutdown indicator, system automatically resumes the depreciation calculation.

  • Can't shut down / restart after Leopard upgrade

    The installation went ok - I had to unplug all peripherals for it to reboot at the end of the install.
    Now when I want to shut down or restart, it just doesn't. After a while it brings an error message that it can't shut down because an application (e.g. firefox) doesn't want to quit. Even if I close all running applications, it still comes back and says it can't close Finder (at that point, there is no menu bar on top anymore, however the application bar on bottom is still there - showing now application active. And then it just sits there. I have to push and hold the power button for it to switch off.
    Anybody any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks -

    Yes. I know. If you could type everything about the problem, it would be too long for anyone to read.
    Be patient, because I would like to track down where you are getting this "hang."
    If you "Quit" (via command Quit) all open appications except Finder (verify this by opening the Apple icon --> Force Quit and verify that nothing except "Finder" is showing); disconnect all external firwire and USB devices; and then choose shut down, do you still get a hang?
    If it still hangs, and you get the message that you can't shut down because some application will not quit, then open Aptivity Monitor (Applicaitons --> Utilities), are any of the processes listed displayed in red?
    I think that the deal is that you've got an applicaiton hanging that is preventing a system shup down. I bet we can find the culprit.

  • Can't shut down computer. K9A2GM

    Hello!
    I have a strange problem, I can't shut down my computer. What happens is that I turn it off and windows shuts down and the screen says "turning off computer" or something. Then it's like that for like 15 minutes then everything goes black and the graphics card fan turns on at 100% speed. Then I have to press and hold the power button for 4 seconds to force it to shut down. I can't make it go into rest as well, the same thing happens.
    It all started when I bought a new graphics card ,Powercolor HD 4850, and installed it. I forgot to connect the power chord to the mainboard so when I started the computer the it started to beep and warned me that the power chord was disconnected. So I turned it off and connected it. When I started it again I got a message:
    "Warning!!! The previous overclocking had failed , and system will restore its default setting. Press any key to continue..."
    But since I had a USB keyboard that didn't work in BIOS I couldn't press any key. So I removed the battery to clear the BIOS and then it worked...but with this annoying problem instead.
    I have asked in several forums but they didn't know how to solve it. You're the experts I suppose...If you solve this one I'll be very grateful. My electrical bill is skyrocketing at the moment...

    Hi guys!
    I tried your suggestions but none of them worked so I finally reinstalled Windows. And it worked fine at the beginning, I could turn it off with no problem. I was later that night, when I was about to turn the computer off for the day, that the problems started. Windows update had downloaded some updates so it said "Installing updates do not turn off computer." It had 69 updates to install so I let the computer on over night. When I woke up the next day it was still on, back in windows. The problem was back...  What is different from my old problem is that the computer doesn't freeze this time.
    I reinstalled windows once more but the same thing happened.
    What happens is this:
    I turn it off, the screen says "turning off computer" but nothing happens. After like 5-10 minutes a blue screen occurs and it says somewhere on the top DRIVER_POWER_STATUS_FAILURE or something, can't remeber exactly. Then it restarts itself.
    This is starting to get annoying now...

  • My update does'nt finish, and I can't shut down!

    bought my n95 today, charged the battery for 10 hours, and then after talking to some friends decided to dowload the latest software.
    Well, I did everything right. And suddenly my phone shut down, with fullcharged battery, and I just did as it said, and took out the battery, and pressed "retry",
    and now the updating of the software has stopped. it's not updating!
    I'm afraid to disconnect the cable, because the updates says that if I do do, my phone may stop working. And I can't shut down the update-window.. PLESE HELP ME SOMEONE? I just don't have time to bring my new phone in for service, so it HAS TO WORK! heeeeelp, PLEASE?
    /Alexandra

    Hi xcarmen
    Unfortunately that is just the worst time to get "phone recovery" message and it is highly likely that you will now have to visit a Nokia Care Point to have the software re-installed. Once the USB connection has been broken, Nokia Software Updater fails to recognize the attached device.
    I am not saying that it would have made the slightest difference here, but you are advised in FAQ to NSU to plug-in mains charger when updating phone software.

    Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

  • Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

    iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop.  Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

    iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
    And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
    Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
    Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
    System boot drive
    Media and data folders and such
    scratch
    backup
    etc
    I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
    If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
    Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
    You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
    Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
    Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?
