How to force shut down

Since upgrading to Lion my MB Pro it locks up.  How can I force a shut down? 

Press and hold the power button for a few seconds.
Is it occurring on just a specific app or apps? If it's individual applications, you really should force quit the program, rather than the Mac. Run the Disc Utility to check permissions, as a start to diagnose the problem.

  • I cant force quiet or relaunch the finder. it says"not responding". Although other apps are running just fine. I've tried restart several times/force shut down several time. I am using a mac book pro retina, Mavericks 10.9.5.Nothing works. Any idea??

    How do i quiet finder?i can't force quiet or relaunch finder. it says'  "finder not responding". Therefore I couldn't shut down. I've tried to force shut down & restart several times. but still finder won't quiet. Any idea please???? I am using a macbook pro retina with Mavericks 10.9.5.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/
    com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks I have to force shut down to close frozen applications

    Hi all,
    Since upgrading to Mavericks I have experienced several times that sometimes when an application close a simple force quit is not enough. The application will disappear from my dock but remain on screen with the spinning ball, and any instances of the application I try to open will also freeze instantly. The only way to clear them is to do a force shut down via the power button on the back of my computer. I have experienced this with Mail, VLC and Finder so I do not think this an issue with a specific program. If anyone is having the same problem or has an idea of how to fix it, it would be much appreciated

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Constant Forced Shut-downs due to some sort of kernel panic...

    Hi there, I'm currently running OS 10.4.10 and over the past month or so I have been having some serious issues with my macbook making me force shut-down. Most of the time it ocures when i leave my computer for a few minutes. I come back to a screen that is locked up, displaying a message in multiple languages telling me to hold the power button to force shut-down and restart. I called applecare and they told me my phone support was over, however the person I talked to stated that it was a kernel panic. I've searched many things but nothing has really helped. I've tried disk utility, I've tried re-installing 10.4.10 but I still have the issue. Does anyone know what the heck is going on??

    Hi--
    Do any of your panic logs have anything in the backtrace section? If so, that would be most helpful to see. Also, do you have any third party drivers installed, like a driver for a mouse or some Firewire or USB peripheral, like an audio interface?
    How much RAM do you have? And how many chips? You might have a bad RAM chip that's causing the panics. If you have two chips, try removing one and see if the panics go away. If not, replace it and remove the other chip.
    This page has detailed instructions on how to track down a kernel panic. Perhaps it'll help you, but be sure to read it carefully.

  • Macbook pro froze during partition. after force shut down it, a part of hard drive lost

    2011 15' Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion.
    I was trying to use Bootcamp to install windows. Somehow I got confused and used disk utility to partition my hard drive and get 100gb for windows (before that it was 500 gb with 260gb free). And after 10 minutes the computer froze and I could do nothing but force shut down it. Rebooted and disk utility shows that it has 160 gb free space now. I repaired disk and permissions but none of them worked.
    How can I get my 100 gb back? Help pls
    Thanks

  • How can I shut down iPhoto when unresponsive?

    I have received a pop up window that "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work  with this version of iPhoto" as I attempted to download a photo from Facebook. I attempted to opt to "Quit" this option seeing as I did not plan to available as this update was being performed. I clicked onto the "Quit" button and now iPhoto is frozen, pinwheel reeling, cannot Quit iPhoto, no force quit option available. Afraid to turn off the computer (running Lion OSX) in case my photo library will become corrupted. Help! How do i shut down this app safely????

    Thank you, i will try this option. Only thing is i did read another person having this problem and he did shut down his computer and now his photo library in unaccessible!!! Ugh. I do have an external back up hard drive. I sure hope that my photos are on there to reload into iPhoto!!!!
    I did try to place my mouse over the iPhoto icon @ the dock and held down the control key with no results in shutting down the application.

  • Waking from sleep requires Forced Shut Down on two different g4 iBooks

    Two different iBooks, a 12" 1.33 and a 14" 1.42 . Same behaviour on both iBooks.
    Each is running 10.4.4, Each has 1g RAM. Neither have any unusual third party software or hacks. Both exhibited this behaviour prior to 10.4.4, and both had 10.4.2 as the original install, then 10.4.3.
    Both go to sleep after three hours, display is set not to turn off before then. They will operate properly for days at a time, but approximately once or twice per week they will have gone to sleep normally, the white light blinking. I'll tap the keyboard to wake up, and the white light will stop blinking but nothing else happens. The cd drives don't make their usual start up racket, nor does the hard drive or fan spin up. Only doing a "Forced Shut Down" by holding down the power button and then restarting will bring either one of them back to life.
    I have already Reset the PMU several times over the past 6 months with no change in behaviour. I have also reset the PRAM on both units sucesfully, however that also has not changed the behaviour.
    Were this happening on only one iBook, I'd consider it a fluke, but having it happen on both a 12" and a 14", and having read of the others with the same isssue leads me to believe that it is not a unique issue, and is either a hardware or software flaw. Since the advice in every one of these complaints has been rest the PMU and Reset the PRAM, and since this has failed to correct the situation, I'm curious as to whether there is anyone on thes Forums that has knowledge of the problem and a proper fix.
    As the issue is truly random and can not be duplicated on demand by manually putting the machine to sleep the "geniuses" have as yet not provided a solution. All I would like is an acknowledgement that there is an issue and that there is hopefully a fix in the works. Even just an acknowledgement that, "it sometimes happens" would be helpful.
    Sorry for the long rant, but I keep seeing the same issue brought up over and over again, with the same non-solutions. Any other suggestions or clues would be very much appreciated.
    ibook G4 1.33ghz 12, 1.42ghz 14   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Nothing, No one..... So out of the hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions, of iBooks sold in the past year, I somehow managed to snag the only 2 that display this problem. Those odds are staggering. A 12" 1.3G4 and a 14" 1.42G4, purchased two months apart. Both in the original factory state, and they both display the same sleep issue, and yet somehow this is unique to my experience.
    The sarcasm is intended, and after having to do a forced restart, and then wasting an hour running tech tools to make sure there are no disk issues for the third time this week, this is getting old. I'm not asking anyone for a magical fix, all I'd like is confirmation that the issue is being investigated and will hopefully, eventually be resolved.
    Thank you......

  • My Computer has been freezing all of a sudden in the last week and i have to keep doing force shut downs!!!

    My dad usually helps me fix this stuff, well go figure he is on vacation and a day after he leaves, the computer starts giving me problems. im so angry with it right now i might throw it off my balcony...
    The loading icon randomly starts spinning sometimes and wont stop, requiring me to do force shut downs in order to make the computer usable again.  sometimes it does it right away, sometimes it does it after ive been using the computer for a bit... for a while i can switch windows until it completely freezes.  i cant click anything, cant force quit any programs or anything, and i the spinning beachball never goes away!  the computer isn't hot either when it crashes! SO FRUSTRATING! it was perfectly fine until the last week or so. im anything but a computer genious, but i ran the disc utility and it says the drives are fine.  things ive done in the last week.  done the updates that the app store was pestering me with, updated corel painter 12 with the most current patches because that started randomly crashing. well now painter works and its the computer crashing X.x
    I dont have extensions on my safari aside from adblock. and i only have 2 apps downloaded and corel painter is the only software on the mac side of the computer.  parallels has an adobe suite on it but Corel is the only thing that has gone through changes recently... 
    i dont know what to do... i need to work on projects and the computer keeps making me lose progress and keeps giving me frustration. please help if you can...
    I've never used the forums before so i don't know the right category, but if its wrong im sorry.  if you can just move it into the right one...

    Back up all data immediately, if you haven't already done it.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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
    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.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    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.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • 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.
    Regards
    Tanmoy

  • What is a memory alert and how do I shut down background apps?

    What is a memory alert and how do I shut down background apps?

    It's when the internal memory doesn't have enough space to operate apps or the phone.  You should do two things.
    1)  Double-tap your Home button.  You should see a row of apps at the bottom of the screen.  Tap on one and hold down until it wiggles.  Hit the red x in the upper right of the icon.  Do this for all icons.  Don't worry - you're not deleting the Apps, you're just shutting them down from multitasking
    2)  Do a hard reset of your iPhone.  Hold down the Home button and Sleep button.  Keep both held down until you see an Apple logo.
    This should clear the memory.
    Good luck!

  • How do I shut down from the login window in mountain lion using the keyboard

    how do I shut down/sleep/restart from the login window in mountain lion using the keyboard?

    Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply.
    Yes in standard start-up as it is and in recovery mode I still get the same message about Disk Utility being unable to repair the disk so I should back-up and restore.
    Some posters have said that booting into safe mode should unmount the installer and allow rebooting back into Lion, that would allow me to back-up the files properly, as my last back up was (as is often the way) not too recent.
    But I think your suggestion looks more likely to be he correct way to do it, and I'll take the hit on any data that I may lose.
    Thanks again.

    ===== END OF THREAD DUMP ===============

    Hi,
    This is a one off issue which occurred when there are thread dumps originating from WLS trying to determine if there are stuck threads in the system.
    The upgrade to R28 is pertinent because these code level changes will not be feasible to be backported and that the code level fixes are included in R28.1.1.
    Please upgrade the Jrockit version to R28.1.1.
    Mark If this helps you.
    Regards,
    Kishore
