External harddrive won't shut down in Mavericks

Hi all,
I have an external hard drive from which I boot OS X Mavericks on my iMac late 2007. In all previous OS X versions, the harddrive would shut down whenever I put my iMac to sleep. Now with Mavericks it won't anymore. It will constantly spin while the computer is sleeping. I have to completely shut down to make the harddrive switch off. Is anybody else expierincing this kind of problem, and does anyone know how to solve this?
Cheers
Oli

*****FireWire and thunderbolt HD interfaces seem to be universally affected. I've seen no exemptions yet to same
Its happening on 80% WD Raid My Book on this board and others, and happening entirely on Firewire and Thunderbolt drives
Its seen on O Raid and 1 Raid both alike.
also occurring on LaCie (Seagate) FW drives.
until resolution , use external USB drives proven to work with Mavericks.

External hard drive won't shut down after switch from OS10.5 to OS10.4.11

i recently chanded my OS from 10.5 to 10.4.11 (as a programme i want to use is not compatible with leopard), but since i have done this my external hard-drive won't shut down automatically when i shut down my mac. i have to switch it off at the plug instead.
can anyone suggest how i can get it to do this again?
i'm a little concerned that i'm damaging the external drive by turning it off manually all the time..
thanks

Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.

IMac won't shut down after using Time Machine

Here is the thing: My iMac (late 2009, 24", 8 GB RAM) won't shut down when I use my external HD for Time Machine. After the back up I try to eject the external HD but the icon won't disappear on the screen, it only gets blank and is not clickable anymore. It is still visible in the menu of the Finder but with no ejection sign anymore. Programs that were open before won't close even if I use the forced shut down function. But it seems like they are closed as they don't appear on the list anymore. When I then try to shut down the whole system the screen goes black and the wheel turns for hours! So that I finally have to shut it down manually.
This happens only after using the external HD for the back ups and when I then try to eject it. If I don't eject it everything goes normal. If I don't connect it everything goes normal. Sure, you might say, hey leave it plugged in then. But as it is a 3 TB HD I also use it for my MBP so I have to eject it
Is this a known issue or a bug in the system of Yosemite? With Mavericks everything worked really well - no problems at all. On the MBP (late 2011, i7, 8 GB RAM) it also works well. So I am kind of annoyed the I always have to shut the iMac down manually which can't be that healthy for the system.
Any insights on that issue are highly appreciated - thanks a lot!
Birgit

Okay, just realized that the same problem occurs with the MBP after rejecting the external HD
Icon gets blank, cannot be clicked anymore, while shutting down the MBP normally the screen goes black and the wheel is turning forever but nothing else happens. So I have to force it to shut down.
It seems to be a general problem with connecting an external HD once in a while for doing a time machine back up regularly and then eject it. So the question is: who has the same problem or does everybody have their HD permanently connected to their Macs for Back ups? Either by USB or WLAN? It never was a problem wit Mavericks and I don't want to permanently back up my system every hour - once a week is good for me BUT this cannot be adjusted in the time machine settings which would be a very good idea.
Any solution is still highly appreciated !!
Thanks a lot,
Birgit

My computer won't shut down

My mac book won't shut down, the wheel continues to whirl and I end up forces the shut down, why is this happening? I haven't installed anything new.

You might want to post your question over in MacBook Discussions
I would suspect at this point that the directory - your filesystem - may be corrupt as a side effect of this behavior, but that there could be a (USB) device or software that is hindering shutting down.
When you reboot, try running FSCK to repair the drive from the command line (single user mode, by booting with the command and s key held down), or booting from the Install DVD, or, from your system backup on external USB/FW drive.
I would start with a SAFE BOOT by holding down the SHIFT key on startup and see if that helps.
Try booting Apple Hardware Test (Disk #1, hold down "d" key on startup) to check the hardware.
Backup. Restore your disk drive to a USB/FW drive - you can use Apple Disk Utility -> Restore or 3rd party software.
I'm sure the other forum will have more.

Premiere Pro won't shut down

Hi,
The problem is that Premiere Pro Cs6 won't shut down or close a project and must be force quit. It will also now allow me to open two projects at once (which can happen when one project fails to close.) However, this quickly leads to a crash.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
It emerged suddenly, right after fixing a problem with a serial number conlfict for Red Giant Color Suite. We repaired the preferences and reinstalled the Red Giant plug, but then the problem emerged. My feeling is it's related. Some kind of goofed up preferences, but how to fix?
Thanks for any help.
Carolyn

Now I find that out. I upgraded to Maverick after we
uninstalled/reinstalled. What fresh hell can I look forward to? I'm getting
to the point where I would rather amputate a body part than update my
software.
All joking aside, should I uninstall/reinstall again?
Right now, my workflow is to save a dated version (save as: name-date)
before I close the project, which i then do by force quitting. It crashes
and my file is saved as a recovery. My theory is that if my recovery file
gets corrupted, I have the most recent save-as version to go back to. God
willing and the creek don't rise, I can go on indefinitely this way, no?

Finder Quits/ CPU won't shut down

When i try to shut down the computer it quits the finder app. and says something has timed out and it won't shut down all it does is quit the finder app.

OK. That's not good. Suggests that the problem is with the system. Sometimes this is caused by a bad cache or log file but it's hard to tell. The next thing to try, then, is to use a utility such as Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner or similar utility - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate - to clear out system, user, and font cache files. You should also repair the hard drive just to be sure:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Also, open the Console utility in your Utilities folder and see if there are any console messages around the time of your last shutdown/restart that might indicate what failed to quit.

Yosemite OS X 10.10.2 won't shut down

I have a 2011 iMac (2.8 GHz, Intel Core i7)
I recently updated to 10.10.2.
Things were working fine, but now my iMac won't shut down.
I go to the Apple in the upper left corner... Click on "shut down"... but then nothing happens.
Normally, there is a little prompt window asking if I really want to shut my computer down, or something, but that window has stopped popping up.
And that's it. My Mac just stays on. I then have to hold down the power button to get it to shut down.
And, now, my screensaver won't come on. Not even if I try to force it on. It just refuses to come on.
Any ideas on what happened and how to fix it??
Thanks!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

HELP!!!
Here are the specs of my machine:
2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
Thank you everyone!!

I have this question too.

10.5.8 won't shut down after bad SD disk removal. It stops all applications but won't get past the final shut down screen.

I had a disk error with a SD disk from my camera. Removed the disk from the card reader and got the Disk Removal Error alert. Then the whole thing froze up on me. Noting else would eject, No other apps would shut down and basically nothing worked. I couldn't shut down so I removed the battery. Restarted the computer ok then tried to repair the SD disk in question. No luck on the repair so ejected it again. Then tried to restart OS and it won't shut down again except everything still works but it just won't shut down.

Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.

Mini Mac won't shut down!

Core Duo won't shut down or log out or re-start but can sleep. Can use terminal to kill processes but it is not an application causing the problem. The output is to a TV via S-Video and am using wireless keyboard via USB.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
Thanks.

Windows won't shut down

I got a iPod nano about a month ago, and installed iTunes on my PC. All is well so far... until I try to shut down. The computer restarts instead. After installing and unistalling iTunes from the cd and apple.com nothing changes. I've tried shuting down all iPod and iTunes related processes in the task manager before shutting down, but the result is always the same.
Called Apple help, and they've never heard of this problem.
Can someone help? I like iTunes to much to give up on this one.

What makes you think iTunes is causing this?
Are you getting some kind of error? Have you looked in your application & system event viewer logs?
I mean, if you've shut down iTunes & iPod processes in task manager, and Windows still won't shut down.....why would iTunes be causing this?

Has anyone seen this before? All help greatly appreciated!

Hi Sebastian,
Thank you for your quick reply. Here's what I tried:
1. reset the install as you suggested, and tried running root.sh again. The exact same thing happened.
2. restored to an openfiler snapshots that were taken right before the failed upgrade. Increased memory on both VMs to 1280M as you suggested. Rebooted the virtual environment and ran the installation again. This time, the root.sh script froze my environment - not enough memory to support this.
3. restored the openfiler snapshots again. Increased memory on one node (odbn1) to 1500M. Ran the install for a single node cluster. It got past this error.
Thank you!!!
Also, thanks for the tip on the ntp.init file. That did eliminate the error for ntpd not running during the installation.

Import to iPhoto. Mac won't shut down..

I imported some of my pictures from my iPhone to iPhoto, I then stopped the import and took out my iPhone. My iPhoto won't shut down now and it says that the import shall finish before I can shut it down. I can't even shut down my macbook, because of this. Anybody who knows what to do about it?

Thank you so much, for the information. This worked for me as well (using force quit). I still have the issue of iPhoto not importing my last set of photos. I did force quit and then restarted iPhoto, hoping the pictures (and one video) would just upload and it still won't import them. I keep getting the same message as before, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete". Only option is to click 'ok". or do a force quit. Have any input about this?

Macbook won't shut down unless i force quit!

Hi my macbook won't shut down unless i force shutdown.... it's been like this for a while so i hardly ever shut it down..... can't even close the case as it will then just continually shutdown and re-start itself on n on n on, whilst shut!!!
It does occasionally shut down successfully ...... but today it shut down fine.... 1st time i tried it for well over a week! But then refused to start up! 1st time it's done this!! it took over two hours to convince it to start!!! Any thoughts would be massively appreciated ..... apple care run out and ZERO funds to have fixed !!! : (( v sad as i love my mac and can't do without it!!!

I tried to run the disk utility and it wouldn't run properly
Exactly what did you do to run Disk Utility and exactly what happened up to the freeze?
I called some place to ask for advice and they said it could be my logic board???
That's an easy answer to give but not necessarily the correct one.
If you have the system restore disc that came with your Mac, boot with that disc in the Mac while holding down the "D" key. That will invoke hardware diagnostics. Run those several times to investigate the possibility that your Mac has a hardware flaw.
