IMac will not shut down or restart using the apple menu

I have an iMac running 10.7.3 that will not shut down or restart using the apple menu. The only way to get this machine to shut down is to hold down the on/off button on the back of the computer. This has been a problem for quite some time and may have started with Lion, but I’m not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Hi...
Before you shut down, make sure you "quit" all open applications. Applications are running if you see the small blue reflection under the app's name in your Dock.
If necessary, you can force quit apps... several ways to do this. One, from your Apple menu > Force Quit or using the Activity Monitor located in /Applications/Utilities.
If it's not a question of open applications, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Mackeeper has been known to cause more problems than fix, all the posts here say don't use it and offer instuctions on how to remove it, which is not as easy as just dragging it to the trash.
I am willing to guess that some of the third party software could be the issue.
Try a safe boot:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Starting up in “safe mode” may help you diagnose problems you’re having with your Mac.
Note: To print these instructions, open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print.
Shut down your Mac and wait 10 seconds.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.
If you still have problems I would take it to Apple, there seems to be something strange going on here.
You search remove mackeeper on this forum, and get rid of it.

MacBook will not Shut Down or Restart

My MacBook will not shut down or restart from the apple menu, nor from any other dialog box that pops up, after an update, for instance. The only way I can turn it off/restart is by using the power button. I have tried archiving and installing OS X, but I am still having this problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi Henry,
Help here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
Second, make sure you have all your updates. Click the Apple logo in the Menu then click Software Updates.
Reset PRAM by holding option-command-P-R keys down during startup until you hear the chime at least three or four times.
Resetting the PRAM is a standard procedure for the problem you are experiencing.
Also, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. DU is located here:
Applications/Utilities. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU and reboot.
If you need further assistance, please post back.

My iBook G4 will not shut down or restart without force

I have huge issues with my 20 month old iBook. For the last two months it has been acting completely out of character.
The issue that's frying my head completely is the fact it won't shut down or restart by itself. I always have to hold the power button until it dies. When I start it up again, the screen is at minimum brightness every time, and I don't know why that would happen.
Not only that, but every program freezes at the one time at least 4 times a week (I use this thing every day). And, when one program stops responding, even force quitting doesn't close it, I have to force the whole system to shut down and restart to be able to use the program again.
I have never had any problems with this machine until two months ago. In fact, I had been boasting to my friends for the prior year and a half about how it had never crashed on me. Why is it starting now, and going all the way?
Would it have anything to do with a wireless router? Or an external hard drive? Right before all this crap started happening, I bought myself an external 80Gb hard drive because I was struggling to find space on this 27Gb internal hard drive. I was always running on 1-2Gb, and now I'm running on 8-9Gb of space. Around the same time, a housemate of mine talked me into sharing my internet connection with him via a wireless router. The router was connected to my iBook, and caused some speed problems, not with the internet but with my system. That project was abandoned after about a week because the housemate was never able to keep an online connection. And since then, my laptop's been screwed up.
I'd like to know reasons for why it's going screwey, and if I have to fork out stupid money to fix something that's supposed to be still working.

MacBook Pro 2013 will not shut down without restarting.

I got a macbook pro a month ago and it will not shut down without pressing down on the power button. Using the normal Shut down options only restarts the computer. I have done all the disk utility repairs, installed new mountain lion, reset the PRAM several times, and ran software repair from doing the shutdown hold D. I also checked to see if the PRAM is good, and it is Ok in systems utilities. It will also restart when i have not touched the computer for 10 or so minutes and will go to locked user log in.
I really don't know what else to do. If you need more details let me know. Any advice?
Thanks

Thanks!
I tried this and discovered something new. I noticed that if the computer is charging while shutdown, the computer will still restart. However, if the computer is charging and you shutdown, then unplug the charger, it will remain off. It will also resume normal shut down and sleep if you shut down while unplugged, now. An idea why it will still restard while plugged in though? If not i very much appreciate your help so far!

IMac will not shut down or restart

Only a "hard" shut down works (holding the main power button for 5 seconds). I don't think that action does my directory any good! This started when my automatic software update launched and had an unsuccessful installation of QuickTime 7.6.2, and Safari 4 public Beta. I removed Safari and used Firefox to get Safari 3.2.x. I was then able to install QT 7.6.2 after several attempts.
But, my machine will not shut down! Any suggestions? Thank you.

HI Kenny,
Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
If that doesn't help, try resetting the PRAM/NVRAM.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer’s PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values.
Make sure your important data is backed up just in case.

G5 will not shut down or restart.

Spec: PowerMac G5 1.8DP with 3GB RAM, 1TB disk, OS 10.5.8.
I've had this problem before, but always solved it by using either Repair Disk Permissions, Disk Warrior or Cocktail cleaning all caches and corrupt pref.files. But it won't help this time. Have to shut down manually. I thought it might be the HD, so this is swapped with a new WD Caviar Black 1TB - system cloned from the former sys.disk using CarbonCopyCloner 3.3.4. Got two systemdisk (to keep one system SUPERCLEAN for ProTools HD DAW), and the CLEAN system shut down or restart the normal way. So it seem to be 100% software related. Any tips? Thanks.

Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Macbook does not shut down or restart. It stops at an blank white screen with the cursor moving around it. Updated to the latest software

I have a Macbook Air 13.3" 2012 model. For a couple of days my Macbook does not shuts down. It just stops at a blank white screen with the cursor still hovering around it. I have to shut it down forcefully every time using the power button.

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
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.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

MacPro will not shut down or restart

My three weeks old MacPro has never shut down or restarted. It stops on the blue screen and needs to be crash started.
I have repaired permissions, used TechTools for maintenance and have all software up to date.
Sleep functions are OK.
A question: should I have the hard disks spin down when possible in the system preferences?

I first went in the System Preferences under the Apple menu. There in Accounts - Login items there is a list of applications or files, which can be removed by pressing the MINUS button. I was quite reluctant to delete these, and indeed 1) it didn't help, and 2) I had to reinstall them afterwards, since e.g. Extensis Suitcase Fusion (a font utility) needs to be loaded at startup. For some items you can do that from a dialog which pops up if you click on the item in the dock, for others you may have to reinstall the application. So do this last - after the next step I describe - and if you do, take a screenshot first so you know what was in - I did that, and it helped.
The real culprit was one of the items in (Main disk)/Library/StartupItems
I had there files called
comapcpcpestart, Parallels, ParallelsTransporter, Portfolio NetPublish Server
which I removed and didn't reinstall - the APC display software provided by the APC company isn't really needed if you have standard mac APC cards, since it's already there, and the others I didn't use.
With this, the problem went away. If I needed the above, I would reinstall them one by one to check.
Please leave me a note if that works,
Good luck,
Adrian
PS By the way of sleep, the wonderful freeware called Sleep Display works and the only good screensaving on LCD displays: turning the backlight off so it doesn't dim so much over time.
One of my former twin 23 in monitors had the backlight replaced after 3 years, and became noticeably brighter than the other one.

Such an error is always caused by inconsistent files in the Firefox program folder (application.ini and/or platform.ini and possibly others) and your only option is to reinstall that version of Firefox, either via the software repositories or the Mozilla server.<br />
Be sure to delete all files in that folder before copying the files from that tar.bz2 archive.<

MBP not shutting down or restarting

Hello guys!
A few days ago, I came across a strange problem on my macbook pro: I wasn’t able to log out, restart or shut down using the apple menu, nor using the power button, which just won't respond.
When I try to restart, nothing just happens. No spinning wheel, nothing. The only way to restart is to use sudo reboot in the Terminal.
This problem started short after I installed a program called “FontForge”, but uninstalling it didn’t help, nor did recovering the system from an older Time Machine backup (from the time before I installed the FontForge).
Finaly I thought it could be something about the SMC and I reseted both it and the PRAM, but without any success. Then I did a re-installation of Mac OS X Lion using Lion recovery, but still no difference and now I’m beginning to feel quite clueless.
Although the problem isn’t life-threatening, it’s very annoying and I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
(Just so you know, I’m running Mac OS X 10.7.3 on a MacBook Pro 13” mid 2010)

There could be a couple of things going on here. First, I would start the cpu in recovery mode (cmd+R). Select disk utility and repair disk as well as repair permissions. After, I would start up in safe mode (hold shift) and then remove user library cache and sys library cache folders. Restart CPU, if should now shut down and restart without a hitch.

Computer not powering down

Something interesting cropped up today - my iBook will not shut down using the normal method. I tried Apple>Shut Down>Shut Down, I tried Apple>Shut Down and then letting the count down expire, and lastly, when I hit the power button, I clicked on the Shut Down button there. No such luck. The only way to get it to turn off is to hold down the power button.
The only thing new is a SanDisk 1 gig flash drive "cruzer," but I was able to use the normal shut down routine last night after using the flash drive for the first time (and the flash drive has not been plugged in until after the boot up is completed). Nothing else has changed - no downloads since the last Office update about a week ago.

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Resetting the PMU should take care of it.
