ITunes make my macbook hang when shutting down

hi folks, i need a genius to help me with my macbook. Every time i use iTunes my macbook won't shut down properly. On shut down process i get stuck on a white screen with spinning wheel, and out of frustration i just have to keep hard booting to shut down. this only happens every time i use iTunes. and in case u are wondering, the symptoms started when i upgraded to lion. I also have downloaded all the recent upgrades on macs as i was hoping it will resolve the issue, but it didn't. Has anyone experience the same problem and has manage to resolved it? Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Not to intrude, but these might help

  • MacMini Hangs When Shutting Down

    Hi all.
    I've tried looking up the answers to this but I have a slightly different issue from others who had issues when shutting down.
    This started a few months ago.  What happens is when I click to shut down the computer, everything starts closing out.  The top menu bar disappears but then nothing else happens.  I'm basically looking at my wallpaper with nothing on it but my dock will still be up.  When I look on my dock the only thing that appears to be active is the "Finder" folder.  When I click on it nothing happens, however, if I right click it says that the application is not responding and gives me the option to relaunch, but nothing happens.  So it seems like there's something going on with the "Finder" folder that is preventing it from shutting down.
    For what it's worth, I did run "Verify Disk" from Disk Utilities that said everything came back okay.  I unplugged any external devices hooked up via USB like my USB hub to see if there was something going on there.
    I have a 2012 Mac Mini.
    In the past, I have let it go all night to see if it would eventually shut down and it won't.  I have to force shut it down.  Ideally, I don't want to do this.  Has anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks!

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the 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 and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Windows7 hanging when shutting down applying updates

    Whenever I shut down or reboot Windows7 I get a message that Windows is applying update 9 of 13, but the "update" never gets "applied" and Windows7 just hangs supposedly trying to apply it. Yet when I subsequently boot into Windows7
    and look a Windows Update there are no important updates available, much less being applied.
    Something is messed up. How do I fix this problem so that Windows7 does not attempt to apply a mythical 9 of 13 update, which does not exist, when I shut down, and hang my Windows& shutdown or reboot

    Download appropriate system readiness tool and run it
    http://support.microsoft.com/kB/947821
    If the updates that are failing to install are dot net based then you may need to run dot net repair tool.
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=30135
    Note this is not recommended but is an option:
    If you are having problem with single update for example you may right click (in windows updates screen) on it and chose to hide it.
    This way at least you will allow other updates to install properly.

  • Left fan in my MBP makes some weired noise when shutting down

    Hi, my model is 2.4 Late 2008, few days ago the left side of my mbp dropped on the table because I forgot to take out the headphone when I stood up.. Now every times I turn off the computer, the left fan makes noises that sound like the fan is touching to the cover (when the fan slows down). What should I do now?
    Thank you very much.

  • IPlanet 4.1SP9 *hangs* when shutting down

    I just moved our iPlanet 4.1SP9 web servers from a Solaris 2.6 box to a
    Solaris 2.8 box and now the port 80 (http) server hangs EVERY time I try to
    stop it. This never happened on Solaris 2.6. I even tried re-installing
    rather than copying the entire server4 directory over and it still hangs.
    This is very annoying. Has anyone else experienced this ?

    Have you checked to see if a file called 'wdnotify' exists under your instance directory? This file is normally created during a instance shutdown, and is supposed to be deleted after the startup. However, if a failure occurs the file may not be removed, and it will then keep you from properly starting the instance.

  • EPM Architect - Process Manager service hangs when shut down via script

    Hello all,
    We have a shutdown script which brings down all of our EPM 11.1.1.3 services. It works perfectly for everything except for one service. For some reason the "Hyperion EPM Architect - Process Manager" service gets stuck in a hung state whenever we run our shutdown script. Here is the section of the script which relates to our EPM Architect services.
    echo stopping Hyperion EPMA Services. %date% %time% >> %LOGFILE%
    sc \\ERPHYBTVXX02 stop "HyS9EPMAWebTier"
    choice /n /t 45 /d y > nul
    sc \\ERPHYBTVXX02 stop "HyS9EPMADataSynchronizer"
    choice /n /t 120 /d y > nul

    If anyone has run into this or has any ideas, I would appreciate any feedback.
    -Bob

    Thanks for the reply. Checking the Event Viewer on the server I did find an application error log related the the service not stopping properly. I forwarded the error on to our EPM consultant who created the script.

  • My macbook pro 2006 fan goes high and then makes a fast beep and shuts down it been happening since i updated

    my macbook pro 2006 fan goes high and then makes a fast beep and shuts down it been happening since i updated it should i update to lion?

    No, this problem should be solved.
    The MBP shuts down when too hot, to protect itself. First see if it is a process running astray: start Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities) choose <all processes> and click the %CPU column: are there processes that are using more than 50% cpu power? If yes click it and quit it, and tell us which one.

  • My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before

    MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before?  I've only had this for about 3mos.  I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

    Hi S,
    Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

    My MacBook Pro recently shut down on me all of a sudden. When I restarted it, it popped up with a gray box with 'OS X Utilities,' then listed various options such as 1. restore from time machine backup, 2. reinstall OS X, 3. get help online and 4. disk utility. what do I do now? I have not backed up to Time Machine in a few days, so I'm not sure I should restore from time machine backup, is there something else I can do? Help!

    Guitar21,
    your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

    Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
    In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:

  • Macbook slow and shuts down when battery indicator is not empty

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 17'' macbook pro bought mid June 2007.
    Three weeks ago I noticed that my macbook pro would shut down at 20% battery (if I was not plugged) and would not start back until I plugged it in. I figured it was a battery problem. However, my macbook started getting really slow with the little 'volleyball' icon appearing more and more often without having to use lots of different of programs in parallel.
    Also last week I realized that now my macbook pro shuts down automatically at 67% battery! I checked the little button behind the battery and when this happens it shows to me 3 out 5 light indicator. So I'm guessing that the battery is not dead and yet my computer shuts down.
    I resetted my SMC (I think that's what it's called) and repaired my disk... I have not reformatted it though.
    Can someone help me out? Is the fact that my mac is slow related to its shutting down prematurely?
    For info: my battery is 2y old and has 360 cycles.
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
    Cheers
    aqualover

    Good on resetting SMC.
    You should properly calibrate your battery:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284
    If that doesn't fix the problem, contact AppleCare about a replacement. Battery warranties were extended to 2 years and maybe you still have a warranty:

  • OSS hang up when shutting down

    Hi!
    Sometimes, when shutting down, OSS just hang up... and I have to hard switch power off...
    I think that that happens when the "server" nfs is down... but I have "linked" folders from it using the soft option, not hard...
    Is that related? any idea?
    best regards!
    luciano

    Some things to play with:
    I guess the first thing to check is System Preferences, Energy Saver. Click the button called "Schedule" to see if somehow the machine has been instructed to startup at some time. You might also have a look at the checkbox "Startup automatically after a power failure". Is that checked?  I think I might try trashing the relevant preferences, but I can't find them at the moment to tell you where they are.
    I would have a look at the application Console in your Utilities folder to see if there are any telling system messages.
    Resetting PRAM and/or SMC is probably worth trying as well.
