Fails or refuses to shut down.

I have a new Macbook after working with Macs for years.
At the end of the day I try to shut down my Mac book. It seems to shut down.
When I get up in the morning, it is up and running.
It is either not shutting down or re starting without a command to re start.
It seems to do both.
when I searched the forum, there were many hits on shutting down when people did not want the Mac to shut down. But this problem is refusing to shut down or failing to shut down.
Any ideas?
Duane Campbell

When you select "Shut Down" from the Apple Menu, wait for the screen to go completely black and make sure that the fan has stopped running. Sometimes it can take awhile to completely shut down.
Also, try resetting your PMU.

  • Satelite C660 refuses to shut down

    Hi all,
    hope someone can help, my laptop is refusing to shut down and I've no idea why.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    On this virtual way it is not easy to say why this happen but probably OS is blocked somehow.
    What happen when you press shutdown button?
    Maybe by some running process in the background.
    Before you use option for shut down, stop some running software that you can find in notification area (notification icons).
    If this will not help restart your notebook, do the same again and open task manager. Check if some of running processes has extremely high amount on memory. If yes stop it and try again.
    Maybe playing a bit with background processes you will find out what is wrong there.

  • Computer refuses to shut down/log off

    I have a MacBook running the latest version of OS X and it's exhibiting some very peculiar behavior. As the title suggests, it refuses to shut off or allow users to log off, furthermore, some applications don't open or work properly. I ran a verify disk and permissions and they've come back with zero errors. What should be my next step in troubleshooting these issues?

    Hello,
    If your MacBook refuses to Shut Down, try this using the keyboard command for Force Quit. Command + Option + Esc. That will bring up the Force Quit window. If there any applications running, they will be listed there and your computer will not shut down until those processes stop.
    As for applications not opening. Try locating and send their preference files to the Trash. I'll use iPhoto for an example. It's preference file looks like this:
    com.apple.iphoto.plist It's located here: MacintoshHD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. In that Preferences folder are the .plist folders for the applications you use. Send the .plist files to the Trash. It's ok.. your MacBook will create new .plist files for you You will have to reset your preferences on these applications but considering they aren't opening anyway, this might help.
    Also, if you haven't already done so get a good disk utility that you can run to clean out caches and log files and repair permissions all in one fell swoop. I use Onyx, it's free and it's here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html Download and install Onyx. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and reboot.
    Hopefully something I've suggested will help.

  • IMacs almost always refuse to shut down

    Hi,
    I have at home 2 iMacs and a MacBookPro, all running the latest OS.
    My 2 imacs have big trouble shutting down. Sometimes they do, but mostly they don't.
    Especially the most recent one (ALU) causes problems.
    I shut down, nothing really happens and after a while i get the message (for instance) "iCal refuses to shut down", while iCal wasn't even running anymore. I click ok, re-shut down, and after a while he tells me it's iTunes that refuses to shut down. Same thing, iTunes wasn't even running.
    This is driving me crazy... my iMac hasn't shut down normally for more than a week now...

    They're connected to the same router which never shuts down. There was never a problem before with this.
    Both of them have a seperate LaCie disk that i use as a backup with time machine.
    I don't know what NAS is. There's no central location for iTunes or iCal. The errors can mention other programs as well (excel, ...).
    I do have two MobileMe accounts (family and workrelated).

  • HT1199 my computer displays grey screen and apple logo for 10 minutes or more during start up and shut down. sometimes it refuses to shut down . this issues started after installing OS lion. what do i do?

    my computer displays grey screen and apple logo for 10 minutes or more during start up and shut down. sometimes it refuses to shut down . this issues started after installing OS lion. what do i do?

    I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
    First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
    That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset  and SMC for good measure.

  • Help, my mini REFUSES to shut down/restart

    Hey guys.
    I'm looking for some help figuring out what is making my mini hang on shut down.
    My icons all dissappear and then I just see the osx backdrop. From there the system refuses to take any keyboard input, though I can move the mouse around. It will just stay there untill I hold the back power button down long enough to force a shutdown. When I reboot it says osx shut down unexpectedly. I try to look at the log by clicking on that option but the log never shows up. My mini is two weeks old and running Tiger.
    Thanks for any help,
    Kal

    All the icons dissappear but the normal apple backscreen stays. It never gets to a black screen. No the pinwheel is not spinning. I no longer have any usb devices plugged in. I have a g4 1.42 mac mini. I did not import any data from a previous system.
    I have tried to reinstall osx but due to it not being able to restart it will not complete he install. I have left it on the screen for hours to see if anything would happen, but nothing.
    I think I may just return it and get another. It just seems too new to be having such a problem. I have put very little software on and it is all mainstream software that should have no problems.
    Thanks for the help guys. If there is anything you guys can think of that
    I may do please let me know.

  • Occassions where Mac Pro refuses to Shut Down/Restart

    I have a Quad 2.8 Mac Pro (Early 2008) and have been frequently running into a problem where both Leopard (and now Snow Leopard) refuse to close my programs and shut my computer down when I ask it to.
    This started roughly 4 months ago and started as just a minor nuisance. Since I use Boot Camp and run two operating systems I tend to restart often. I also always shut my machine down when I go to bed.
    When I click shut down or restart the window for the logout countdown shows up. I go ahead and click to have it do it instantly and the machine will just sit there. Usually it will come up with an error saying a application refused to be shut down. What's odd is it is usually a program I don't even have open anymore. I can force quit every application I have open and it will still sit there.
    Anyone seen this before? I don't even know where to begin.

    Check on Activity Monitor if there is a process that is hanged or something... there is got to be a process that is not responding to the kill signal and you might have to force it to die for the shutdown to end...
    once you find what process is hanging you can start working out why is it not closing and fix that problem...

  • Root.sh fails - asm won't shut down

    I am trying to instal clusterware 11gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. This is all running an Oracle Virtualbox environment, using ASM for the cluster disk in an openfiler. 32 bit installation, 1GB memory allocated to each node environment. I had to ignore errors for the following:

    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.

  • Reader Refuses to Shut Down

    I encounter a problem (not related to Adobe) and was forced to terminate the download of a file from the internet. Not only would Adobe Reader REFUSE to terminate (close via the "X"Box or Refresh the page), it refused to allow Windows Task Manager to open. As the Adobe file was quite extensive in size, I was forced to shut down the computer to solve the problem, thus loosing all of the information on the other program I was using. Eventually, AFTER I held the computer's "ON" button down for 5 seconds to shut it down, the Task Manager window appeared and informs me that it cannot open due to Computer Shutdown being in progress.

    Force quit iPhoto from the -menu > Force Quit menu.

  • Macbook refuses to shut down, restart or log out! :(

    Hi,
    Ive been having the troubles of not being able to turn off, restart or log out my Macbook after not shutting it down for a while ( like 1 or 2 weeks just kept putting it to sleep when it is not in use ). When I tried to shut down or restart it, the top bar and everything else went off leaving ma dock behind, it then just froze and kept saying that it cant shut down due to some random application have failed to quit! (e.g most usually firefox and Finder) eventhough i have already quit all my applications!
    Does anybody know what the problem is? Is this usual if you dont shut down your macbook for a couple of weeks? Please advice!
    Thank you very much,

    Hi
    Holding down the power button for about 10 seconds will force the macbook to turn off. This is only recommended as an emergency measure.
    When you restart, I recommend you download either Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner and use it to step through the various maintenance activities it offers, including deleting all stored cache files.
    You should perform this maintenance once a month or so (although you don't need to routinely clear out the cache files).

  • Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down.  And now won't boot from install DvD

    Please some one help me ...
    A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
    B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
    C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
    D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
    E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
    I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
    I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • OS X refuses to shut down

    Anyone know how to shut down my imac? Aperture is frozen and won't stop. This prevents my system from shutting down. Anyone knows a solution?

    Thanks for the star.
    As long as you don't have to do it repeatedly, it's ok.
    When an app freezes like Aperture did, it could mean there's an underlying issue. If the iMac freezes again when you have Aperture running, might want to boot from your install disk and run Disk Utility to make sure everything is ok.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.

  • OS X 10.5 refuses to shut down & fails to instal updates ...

    iTunes 7.5
    Quick Time 7.3
    iPhoto Update 7.1.1
    Repeatedly available software is downloaded automatically but fails to install
    as during restart OS X 10.5 fails to shutdown ( Blue Screen Loops ). Forced
    shutdown and restart fails to install previously downloaded updates. How do
    I resolve this issue? OS X 10.5 is pretty useless with out updates and restarts.

    Clutch marketing move, Apple. Way to straight up demand money for an update.
    Snow Leopard (10.6) is not an 'update', but a newer Operating System than Leopard (10.5).  Apple like Microsoft does not charge for updates but does for newer Operating Systems. 
    It is a common business practice that allows for the development and sale of newer products.  Without the benefit of revenue income, newer Operating Systems would cease to be offered.
