I can't turn off my Macbook pro since installation Mavericks

I can't turn off my Macbook pro since installation Mavericks. When I push the start/power button, a black screen appears. asa I touch anything, the desktop reappears. If I push the start/power button long enough, it shuts down, but I cannot keep doing this forever ? What's happening ? I made sure alle programs/windows quit before trying to turn off...

Hi Biouche,
the first three days after installing mavericks, the choice window you talk about didn't appear at all. (only that black screen and a forced "turnoff click" (which didn't feel fine to hear ;-) But ! AFter the first three days, the choice window did appear again, with the choice to switch off/restart/etc. so evertything back to normal (except, before the installation of mavericks, the choice window appeared already the same second after pushing the start button. Now, it's like you said, waiting 2 full seconds. still feels "scary", but anyway, at least i can turn off the macbook in a normal, safe way again. So thanks for your reaction , a nice day toU2 ;-)

Hi there nina777s,
You may want to try resetting the PRAM and SMC on your Mac as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Can't turn off my MacBook Pro...

Can someone help me with this problem?
I just can't turn off/restart my MacBook Pro using the menu. When I click "turn off" or "restart" nothing happens in 80% cases. I've already reseted the PMU, but it doesn't change much...
If somebody has a clue...thanks!

try resetting pram
try test user account
close apps before trying the shut down or restart option (could be a specific program causing the shut down to hang)

After install Mavericks I can't turn off my MacBook Pro from the power button.

Dear all, prior to install Mavericks in my MacBook Pro, when I pushed the power button it appeared a dialog box which gave me the option to turn off the copmuter choosing the right option.
After the installation of Mavericks,and obviuosly having the system running, when I push the power button it does just nothing.
Does anyone have the same issue? Have someone solved it?
Thank you very much in advance for your answers, for your attention and for your help.
Kind regards.

You can turn off this new sleep feature and restore the shutdown/sleep dialog box to pop up when you press the power button.
In Terminal copy & paste in the following command and then press enter:
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow PowerButtonSleepsSystem -bool no

I can't Turn off My MacBook Pro

I have a new MacBook pro and I'm having problems Powering down. When I go to shutdown it gives the usual wheel spinning then it freezes and nothing happens the only way I can get it to power down from there is by pressing the power button for a couple of seconds.. It starts up just fine. But I shouldn't have to do this every time i want to shut down. Anybody have any ideas

More to say... Say my friend, there is perhaps, a long-term solution to this anomaly. TechTool performs manual and/or automatic maintenance of the hard drive, directories, permissions, etc. and a slew of other useful tasks. The updated DVD version for the Intel Macs is due out in early July. If you have the Extended Apple Care, you can receive the new version now via the link provided. Otherwise, you may soon purchase the product direct from the vendor "Micromat" at the second link provided. In any event, this is what I plan to do once the product becomes available in the Protégé Pro Version. Despite what some may believe, the Mac OS doesn’t always repair itself.

Is it ok to turn off my macbook pro 2011

I would like to know if its ok to turn off my macbook pro 2011 every time its not in use , and its not connect to a power source .

It's ok to turn off your macbook if you're not using it for a period of time. Just make sure the battery is not fully discharged when you do so.
I turn my off when i know i won't be using it for the day.
You can however, just close your lid if you plan on using your macbook a few hours later.

ISight won't turn off on MacBook Pro retina

So I went to turn on my 13" MacBook Pro Retina and the stupid iSight green light is on. I've done a SMC reset and a PRAM reset. I've restarted my computer. I've shut my computer down completely. I've shut my computer down completely and let it sit for a few minutes. I've shut down my computer and let it sit overnight before turning it back on. This light is really annoying and I don't like that it's running on it's own. No, I don't have any apps that turn on with my computer that use it either. I've done all the troubleshooting that I can and I've chatted with Apple support. It's finals week and I don't have time to go to the Genuis Bar to fix this problem. Can someone please help me turn off this annoying, dumb green light?

This procedure may show which program is using the camera. It makes no changes, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo lsof -Fc +D /L*/Cor*/*/*/AppleCamera.plugin | sed '2!d' | cut -c2- | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

Why does caps lock light remains on when I turn off my macbook pro?

I had a problem recently come up with my MacBook Pro Early 2011 15 inch 2.0 ghz computer. The the caps lock light initiates at boot up. When I depress caps lock the light goes off but then only allows capital letters. All sybols associtated with depressing the cap button such as the "at" sign are screwed up. When I turn my computer off with safe mag attached, the caps light remains on. When I remove the safe mag, the caps light goes off. Any clues as to what is going on?
Thank you for your inputs ahead of time.
Bret

You should call AppleCare as soon as possible. 1-800-275-2273
You have 90 days of free tech support from Apple from the date of purchase.
You can return or exchange the computer within 14 days from the date of purchase.
Best.
