Delayed Slow Shutdown Issues

Alright my fellow Mac friends, I call upon your help.
I have a Mac Pro (specs shown below), that is lightning fast. Startup is less than 10 seconds. Shutdown was great too, until a short time ago.
Within the last 3 weeks or so, something has changed where when I choose restart, it goes right away to just showing the desktop picture and little "thinking propeller", but then just sits for 10-20 seconds. Before this, it would restart within 1-2 seconds.
I've tried digging in console to enlighten me, but no luck. Here is a snippet of my most recent restart attempt. Please let me know if you see anything.

I am getting the same thing on several iMacs. I don't have the exact logs right now, but it very closely matches the previous logs where the loginwindow process is executing the shutdown. It seems like it is happening with a bit of consistency on Sunday evenings. I have checked the Energy Saver preferences and my Retrospect preferences to make sure that there are no shutdown commands coming from those.
Anyone have any ideas why the loginwindow process would be forcing a shutdown?

Possible fix for slow shutdown in Leopard

After messing with a slow shutdown issue on a mini and mac book pro (clean install and intel on both), I finally found a solution for the shutdown taking anywhere up to two minutes.
I noticed that if I logged out first, then shutdown my shutdown time was back within reason. If I killed any extra processes running under my name before I shutdown it would shutdown within about 5-10 seconds. The two processes that solved my shutdown issue were: ituneshelper and tunnelblick.
It looks like the shutdown issue for me has something to do with the shutdown process somewhat hanging on user processes running when a shutdown is initiated. Try killing non-essential programs running under your name in Activity Monitor and see if that speeds up the shutdown.
For some reason checking the ituneshelper and tunnelblick login items under Accounts did not stop them from starting up. I had to completely remove them from the login item list.
Hope this helps someone out there.

If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

Slow shutdown after 10.8.2 - securityd / appleevents

Hi everyone,
since the last update (10.8.2) I have experience slow shutdown time, with spinning wheel also.
I use the OWC SSD 120GB 6GB as startup disk since OS Lion and my machine (Macbook Pro 13 late 2011) used to be extremely fast. Talking about shutdown time, it used to be about 2~3 seconds, but now running 10.8.2 it was increased to 20 seconds.
Using verbose mode it is possible to see:
com.apple.securityd ----- PID is still valid
com.apple.securityd ----- Killability: dirty/idle-exit unsupported
com.apple.coreservices.appleevents ----- PID is still valid
com.apple.coreservices.appleevents ----- Killability: dirty/idle-exit supported
com.apple.launchd ----- System: Still alive with 2/1 (normal/anonym
it repeats 3 times, and after something awas unable to get, it shows
Killing all processes
Does anyone have some idea about what is going on?
Is this bug about the SSD drive? On 10.8.1 I did not notice any issue. It used to be very fast on shutdown...
Thanks,
GCalligaris.

here goes a picture of verbose mode shutdown. Sorry about the poor resolution...
Thanks again!!

MacBook Pro Retina 2013 very slow shutdown

Sorry - posted this inadvertently in the ML-Section.....OK, here we go again...
Hi community, I'm running a (almost) brandnew late 2013 MBPr 15", OSX10.9., 16 GB RAM , 1TB SSD. Startup ist reasonably fast, but the shutdown ist awfully slow. If I press the Power button, the screen gets light grey, after a while a spinning wheel appears and after approx. 50 sec up to a minute the machine shuts down. I didnt't install any crapware such as MacHelper but scanning through the threads in this community I noticed that Parallels seems to cause many issues concerning a slow shutdown and I'm indeed running a Win 7 prof-VM under Parallels 9.
About the first appearance of the shutdown lag I'm unsure since the first few days I didn't shut down the MB but put it to sleep.
So far I've only disabled (and de-installed) Sophos AV-software, iCloud and Synology CloudStation - to no avail. Also I've looked in the Konsole logs which looked quite frightening whith lots of "faults" and such....but didn' give me any clues and repaired permissions. I'm unsure about deinstalling Parallels because I need it for work. Is there any other possibility to determine wether Parallels is causing these lags ?
Compared to my iMac (early 2008, 10.6.8), which is loaded with all kind of data and software (but not Parallels !), the latter shuts down in about 10 secs....my MacBook should make it much faster...
Any suggestions ?

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are outside the safe harbor, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real-world danger of malware attack comes from highly targeted "zero-day" exploits that are not yet recognized.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Random slow shutdowns

Hi,
I've been googling and found some info about slow shutdowns but nothing helpful.
I'm running Macbook Pro mid-2012, 10.8.4 with an SSD. Usually the shutdown process takes 1-2 seconds but at least once a day it gets stuck and takes about 10+ seconds. I'll post my shutdown log. Maybe you can at least tell me what's causing it if it can't be fixed.
Thanks!

In this occasion I normally start with "standard" clearing: delet ALL caches, perform Permission Repairing (with M. Lion Cache cleaner, Onyx or similars) and if you don't get result perform an SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
followed by 2-3 consecutively PRAM restarts.
Cheers
Simon
PS: I do perform cache cleaning and permission repair at each OS update and I do not have 99% of the problems that other may encounter.

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

REAL final cut system slowness problem/issue

I should wait for the post-house engineer....but, I don't want to:
I am having slow-ness issues on this FCP system I'm working on. Before I give you all the schematics of this system, I'll let you know that my temporary fix is copying the 'stuff' on the timeline and pasting into a new sequence.
I smell corrupt media/fx but that's just my AVID bkgd chiming in.
Any help would be appreciated,
Tom

Yeah...I'll try that again but I had to move to another bay on Saturday because the slowness was just rediculous. They have XSAN/AJA systems here and i'm guessing this bay needs a fresh OS and FCS install...but, I can't wait for that.

Some have slow/choppy video streaming, some have problems with large dropbox files, some with app store and some with podcasts.
Which is your problem AdeelRasheed?
Me personally, I have download speed when on wifi.
But only when downloading podcasts...
Running 6.0.1 or 6.1 on iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-80 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g ( 4g/LTE is not yet available from my local provider) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.
Anyone else have this problem?

2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== approx. 2 days ago

I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.

APEX hosted site slow response issues

Hi,
Is anyone else experiencing slow response issues when navigating through the hosted (apex.oracle.com) APEX site. About a 2-3 weeks ago we started noticing that it takes a long time to log into the site as well as navigate through anything
This might sound odd but often times how we would workaround it is by repeatedly "re-clicking" a link or a button to get the page to return. Whenever the site is slow in respnding we wound see "Waiting for apex.oracle.com" in the browser's bottom console.
We see the same issue with IE or Firefox and its only the apex.oracle.com site that has this problem.

As I posted on another thread:
Sorry for the lack of a reply here. With the long holiday in the U.S. and then my past two days of this week, spending at least a half a day each on apex.oracle.com, I haven't been paying attention to the discussion forums. I was unaware of this active thread.
Don't worry Ben, I'm not going to say "It's fine for me". TKyte had identified a bug or two in Ask Tom over the weekend, and I tried to fix them on Monday morning. What should have taken me 10 minutes took me two hours.
This has been my top priority for the past two days. There are some networking issues still being researched. A configuration change was made earlier today which seems to have alleviated the issue, but I'm not convinced that it will be a permanent fix.
Understand that this has not been a database issue nor an Application Express issue. Every time the performance was glacial, both yesterday and today, I examined the database and there was hardly anything going on. It was a hardware (filer) issue a month ago, and it appears to be either firewall or network card or network issue or all three. Regardless, I am embarrassed for Oracle's sake - this should be our flagship for Oracle Application Express, and the past month or two of poor performance can only serve to dissuade from using Oracle and Oracle Application Express.

Macbook pro shutdown issue

Macbook pro shutdown issue when I push the power button it immediately goes into sleep mode

Hello Marrio22,
Thank you for the question. With OS X Mavericks, the power button has new functionality:
OS X Mavericks updates the power button behavior on Mac computers.
Using the Power Button to Sleep & Wake
Tap the power button in Mavericks to put your Mac to sleep or to wake it up:
Tap the power button once to put your Mac to sleep.
Tap the power button again to wake your Mac.
Press the power button for less than a half a second to sleep or wake your Mac. This duration is similar to pressing the Space bar or Return key to wake your Mac. The power button works this way across all Macs using OS X Mavericks, including both notebook and desktop computers.
Accessing the Shut Down Dialog
Press and hold the power button for 1.5 seconds, to bring up additional options:
Forcing the Mac to Turn Off
Hold down the power button for 5 seconds to force the computer to turn off. Important: You may lose unsaved documents if you force the computer to turn off this way. Use this method of turning off your Mac only if it has become unresponsive for an extended period of time. Normally you should shut down the computer by selecting Shut Down from the Apple menu, or from the shut down dialog pictured above.

Macbook air slow shutdown

My brand new macbook air 13" seems to have a pretty slow shutdown time (20s+).
As I am new to mac I spent several days trying to find a fix without any succes.
After a shutdown I just ran a console search for a exit timeout and found the following:
01/11/13 00:04:38,068 com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService[261]) Exit timeout elapsed (20 seconds). Killing
I think this might be the problem but I am not sure which terminal command should be used to reduce the killing time.
Could anyone please help me ?

I've just read on another thread that it could be lion 10.7.1. I can't say this for sure since I immediately restored my time machine backup. I'll re-install lion and check it out, then, I'll put my time machine back.
Pffieuw, wish me luck.

This fixed mine

check DNS numbers are correct, mine was showing the router and greyed out so I added my IP specific numbers
>Restart (not sure if you need this step but I did it)
Page loading improved significantly from very slow to acceptable on some to blistering fast in others
AND emails just flew out really quickly
Also make sure you have the right ports for your IP because I had been given an alternate one to try and that upset the incoming messages

Mavericks very slow shutdown, how to fix it?

Since I updated my 13' late 2012 MacbookPro to OSX Mavericks it won't shut down at all or it takes extremely long (about 1 hour!). Someone any idea how to solve this problem? The only options for me at the moment ar shutting the system down by holding the shutdown/boot button or just leaving my Macbook on all the time, which isn't quite nice .
Hope you guys can help me!

SOLVED slow shutdown as follows:
WhiteHat Aviator was repeatedly showing up as com.whitehatsec.aviator.dmg in Disk Utility. There's no uninstaller, but I removed Aviator by deleting:
Library/LaunchAgents/com.aviator.agent.plist
Library/Aviator (containing com.aviatorupdate.agent, RunUpdate, UpdateAviator, etc.)
Library/Caches/Aviator
Library/Caches/AviatorEngine
Library/Caches/UpdateEngine-Temp/com.whitehatsec.aviator.dmg-etc.
Library/Caches/UpdateEngine.503/Downloads/com.whitehatsec.aviator.dmg
Library/LaunchAgents/com.aviator.agent.plist
Library/Application Support/Aviator
Library/Preferences/com.whitehatsec.aviator.plist
Library/Saved Application State/com.whitehatsec.aviator.savedState
As a huge side benefit, my system no longer hangs for a minute on shutdown!
