Lion 10.7 shutdown hangs

Is anyone else having shutdown problems with Lion. My IMac looks like its going to shutdown correctly but then just hangs. The ony way to shut it down is to press the power key until it switches off. I have tried closing down all apps before shutdown, but it seem to make no difference.

While I understand the frustration of things not working properly, you seem to be grasping at straws in trying to aportion blame.

The Apple guy I spoke to said that there is no fix in Lion 10.7.3 for the OS not shutting down properly.
On the contrary. If it were known that there was a bug in 10.7.3 after it was released, the fix is to upgrade to 10.7.4.

it's somewhat typical of Apple to blame the user rather than admit the product has a fault, as much as I like their stuff.
You have yourself said the problem was with the disk. So it's a hardware fault, not a software fault. Why would they say the software has a problem when the issue is to do with hardware?
TBH, if it's not a hardware fault, its a software conflict with something you've intstalled. I did beta testing of Lion 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 (admittedly not .3) and all these kinds of issues boiled down to conflicts with third party vendor s/w, probably in your login items, launchagents or launchdaemons folders.

  • Lion installed but shutdown is much longer now? Ideas?

    I have installed Lion but the shutdown is much slower now. Snow Leopard shut down in 4 seconds and now it appears to be more like 15-20 seconds. I had to move a few non-compatible apps to trash but that is all I've changed. Any ideas?

    don't know if this helps but i'll throw it in here in case it helps anyone. i too had issues with a slow boot and shutdown since installing lion. i tried many things people suggested in various threads such as repairing permissions and verifying/repairing disk, clearing caches etc. what did work for me however, finding it by accident is... i noticed i could no longer play avi files. i had perian installed. apperntly the version i have needed upgrading so i did and to my surprise, it actually improved shutdown time. my shutdown went from nearly 30 second to just under 10 seconds. it improved my boot up from nearly a minute down to under 50 seconds. it's still a long time to boot compared to snow leaoprd but at this stage any improvement is a good thing. so i guess the things to look for possible causes of problems are incompatible software. either upgrade them to a lion friendly version or uninstall them if none are available.

  • Shutdown hangs up on my Qosmio

    HELP--Not exactly computer illiterate but no guru either.
    Shutdown hangs up on my computer. I get the following messages after I hit "shutdown"
    Nvidia TwinWindow View end now
    TouchEd Window end now
    Config Free end now
    Toshiba Raid console end now
    tfswctrl.exe end now
    By the time I click on "end now" for each of this and get to the last prompt, the computer hangs there forever and I have to shutdown with the off button. This just started.
    Help please!
    Thanks :)

    Obviously those listed running processes can not be ended as usual. Like Joao already posted, try to use system restore tool and roll back the operating system to created system restore point. Use data before it starts. I hope everything will be as before.

  • Lion shutdown Hang

    My Mac OSX Lion always hang up during the shutdown after using iTunes?

    Same problem on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15-inch, OS X Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.5.3.

  • OS X Lion didn't shutdown If I run any office 2011 software! Any help?

    Hi All!!
    I'm having a problem since I update my snow leopard to Lion, when I try to shutdown it never turn off my macbook, it goes to the grey screen and stay forever spining.
    I have another accounts in my Lion, so I start to test on other accounts and I noticed that in the other accounts the shutdown problem never happened, so I verify that the problem is only in my user and not on the system files I think.
    Then I start to disable the software that start on the user login to check and after it finish the boot proccess I try to shutdown Lion, and for my surprise it always shutdown correctly and fast, about 10 seconds to shutdown.
    Well if it's not a software that runs on login proccess I start to run the software that I use everyday to check if some of them is causing the problem, and after some tests I noticed that I if I run Safari, Firefox, Parallels, Things and other software I didn't have any problem to shutdown the macbook, BUT if I run Outlook, Word or Excel 2011 my macbook didn't finish the shutdown procedure and stay forever on the grey screen.
    Whan I'm using theses programs I don't have any problem or hang, I can use it normally, but if I use I can't shutdown anymore!
    Does anyone have any clue or tip or could help me and debug and trace this problem?? I have a lot of stuff and even with a Time machine backup working I dind't like to make a clean install of Lion.
    Thanks a lot and fell free to ask me any other information!!

    Allright, so let's end this monolog. I found a solution. It's not complicated…
    I installed Ubuntu with rEFIt recently and it looks like the EFI has been updated or something like that. The Ubuntu partition was not accessible only via rEFIt but via holding [alt] when starting the Mac and selecting the partition called "Windows" (it looks like the Mac thinks this has been installed with Bootcamp). This means that I could remove rEFIt (if I can access Ubuntu without rEFIt, it would be idiot to keep that software) who was preventing me to restore my OS X partition with the disk utility on the Recovery HD partition.
    So I just removed rEFIt, restarted the Mac and booted on the Recovery HD partition to reinstall OS X Lion and now, everything looks good…
    Glad to help. Have a nice day.

  • OSX Lion Fails To ShutDown

    Hi Community,
    I have a new MBP 2011, that came with OSX Lion Installed.
    The system statred off very well, with super startup and shut down times.
    Along the way the system beagn freezing while under load, and the problem was resolved after installing the latest patches to 10.7.1.
    A few weeks ago, the laptop began developing the following problems:
    1. OSX Lion takes time to shutdown, almost 2 minutes or more.
    2. The Problem has now worsened and OSX Lion fails to shut down completely until I hold on to the power button for a few seconds.
    I checked on the logs for any signs, but being a first time mac user, am not sure how to get to the root of the problem.
    Below is the relevant sectionof the Log files for the shutdown process.
    Any help will be highly appreiated in resolving this rather frustrating issues with Lion.

    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    I'm guessing that you have a Mac Pro 1,1 or 2,1 model from 2006/7. They cannot run Mountain Lion.

  • HT1148 Installed Mountain Lion - Now my IMAC hangs in a short loop (1 sec) at least once every other day.

    Updated my IMAC from Lion to Mountain Lion. Processor 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mag 1067 MHz DDR3. Now (usually when I am running two software items) my IMAC hangs up about once a day or so. It seems like a short 1 sec repeat. At that point the only way to stop it is to shut down using the main power button. Is anyone else having this problem? I never had a problem until I upgraded. I'm 99% sure it must be in the operating system. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Has Apple found this glitch in Mountain Lion and will they be coming out with a fix?

    I was having a similar issue, my 27" iMac would lose the Internet connection, but not the wifi, later I'd find that the machine had restarted giving me a notice that there'd been a kernel panic. It was happening persistently after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    I used CCleaner to clear caches and now two days later I've had no problems.
    I'm relieved that I didn't have to resort to more complex solutions.

  • Applications won't launch, shutdown hangs

    Hi All,
    I've seen posts with similar symptoms to mine, but none with a fix:
    Everything was running fine, then all of a sudden applications refused to launch. First it was System Preferences, then Console.app, then SubEthaEdit - nothing could be launched any more. Running applications worked fine, so at least I was able to save my work and shut all apps down.
    I had a Terminal.app running and was able to have a look at which processes were running, etc. but couldn't see anything that looked like a rogue process or anything which was hogging resources.
    Next, I tried to HUP the Dock, but it went and didn't come back.
    I then tried to log out. Everything was closed, but the background remained and the system did not log out.
    The only button that still worked was the power button - it brought up the restart / shutdown menu fine. But when I selected either restart or shutdown, nothing happened. The mouse was working fine also BTW. I also noticed that while I was able to change the volume with the usual keys, the see-through icons didn't appear - only the 'ping' sound was made.
    The system came up fine, and everything appears to be working at the moment - no problems launching apps etc.
    I checked the Console and didn't see anything particularly out of the ordinary. I saw spindump entries for all the apps I'd tried to launch, but which didn't (they were added to the Dock, but without the 'active' dot underneath them, and I was able to context-click and Force Quit them from the Dock). I also saw hang logs for each app corresponding to the time when they wouldn't launch.
    The only slightly weird thing that happened before all the crazy madness was that my AirPort connection suddenly went wobbly. It lost its connection all together and it took a while for me to convince it to come back online. The AirPort Utility didn't show either base station reporting any problems (I have a TimeCapsule as the main base station and an AirPort Express extending that network out to the office). The system was trying to perform a backup at the time - not sure if that's what was causing the weirdness.
    Next time it happens, I might try HUPping the window server or something to see what happens then. Of course, I'm hoping it doesn't happen again
    Any hints / tips / experiences / etc more than welcome
    Cheers,
    C

    I have now added back all the items which were in my original Logins List except for "Spark Daemon" (a shortcuts manager), which I no longer have on my system. Leopard appears to be running fine now. Perhaps populating the list again was all that was needed.

  • OSX Lion: Mail Starts then Hangs

    Ever since I downloaded Lion, I cannot get to Apple Mail.
    The app tries to start, hangs forever until I close it.
    Is this an effect of MobileMe?
    Anyone else having that problem?

    Ok, so things have improved.  I shut down my machine (a few times), each time ensuring I checked the message that windows weren't saved ...
    I waited for spotlight index to do more of it's indexing.  Then I tried again, didn't work, so I forced quit mail. 
    Then I fixed disk permissions (in disk utility) and shut down the computer (I read this might be helpful for general issues on another thread). 
    Then went back in, started mail and it asked if I wanted to reopen the window (which I assumed meant from the previous session). I said no. Then tried again, this time after a wait, things progressed.  And mail has just loaded.  It took about 45-60 mins to migrate and clean up.
    Spotlight indexing can be located in the top right corner of the screen - menu, if it's indexing it turns into a magnifying glass.  And if you click on it, it gives you more detail...
    Good luck!

  • Linux-ck 3.9.3 disabling IRQ #16 shutdown hang

    Hi!
    It just happened again: my system hangs on Disabling IRQ #16, just ater "Storage is finalized" systemd output. It won't poweroff...
    As title says, i'm using latest linux-ck, with bfq scheduler, atom optimized, from gravsky's repo.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    I have a PF kernel, not CK (and no hp-related hardware), and it happens to me occasionally, but I rarely reboot/shutdown.
    However, I frequently put the laptop to sleep and it just hangs  before shutting down the screen. The sleep LED keeps blinking indefinitely (it should only be blinking during sleep initialisation), and no errors are being printed out, but I suspect it is the same cause as with reboot when the aforementioned printout is visible.
    It affects ~50% of sleep cycles, which means that when I put laptop to sleep, I lose my work 50% of the time.

  • Lion ScreenSaver re-active hang during read my iPhoto pictures

    Hi,
    My Lion cannot display password logon during screensaver is reading my iPhoto pictures.
    Because I setup my screensaver to random display my iPhoto pictures.
    I have an external monitor with my MacBook. Both of my monitors will display iPhoto pictures with screensaver.
    Screen hang if i'd like to re-active from screensaver to normal operation mode.
    That will be fine if screensaver reads iPhoto pictures and start to display them.
    Hang status happen during screensaver still reading iPhoto pictures for 2~3 seconds and before display them.
    Please check what's happen with this kind of issue for current Lion OS X 10.7.3
    Many thanks

    Hi Mike,
    I just saw this post and saw no one has responded.  You might have figured out but in case, I wanted to let you know what I found out.  I had the same problem.  Hard drive failure, they installed a new one and my iPhoto pictures were missing.  I couldn't find them on Time Machine either which baffled (and frustrated) me b/c I just backed up my drive and I was missing pictures from over a year ago. 
    I found this article and it allowed me to at least find my pictures...so they weren't lost after all. 
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16029742#16029742
    As for why they aren't showing up in iPhoto or Time Machine, the lady at the Mac store said it is probably an OS conflict.  Which makes sense since I can see the actual pictures in the iPhoto content file (per the article mentioned above).  However, I didn't have my computer with me at the store to have a Genius person help me resolve the conflict.
    BUT, if you can find the pictures, then maybe you can reimport them into iPhoto?  Just a thought.
    Good luck!

  • Macbook shutdown hanging - dock stays open

    Hey, my first post (excuse the username, I made this account years ago...).
    I've had a problem shutting down my new MBP Retina 13'' recently. Often (not every time however), when I go to shutdown the computer (Apple > Shut down > shut down), the computer appears to be shutting down normally (the menu bar and desktop icons disappear), but then the dock stays open, and does not shut down. I've waited and waited but it doesn't shut down. To get it to finally shut down, each time this happens, I have to hold the shutdown button and select shutdown again, and then after a few seconds shutdown occurs normally.
    I spoke to Applecare on the phone, they told me to perform a safe boot and then it should be okay, and it was for a while until it started again. I went into an Apple Store today, and they said it's 99% likely that it's just something like an app or process causing it to hang. The guy suggested to toggle my login items on and off and see if that fixes it, which it didn't (I only have 2, Dropbox and Caffeine).
    Can anyone relate or have any ways to fix this? It's not that bad, but just annoying enough to bother me. Thanks!

  • Shutdown hangs with pulsing circle

    Lately, when I shut down my imac, the process just hangs on the blue screen with the pulsing circle. Sometimes it does shut down all the way but most times it will not.
    When I do a repair disk, it will shut down for the next couple of days but then go back to the hang.
    Is there a way that I can look in a log or something as to what is making the computer hang?
    Thanks for any help or adivce on this,

  • Shutdown hang if a mounted cifs filesystem is not responding

    I sometimes mount a filesystem over CIFS (quite often a virtual machine). Sometimes I shutdown the virtual (or physical) machine forgetting to unmount the cifs folder. In this situation if I try to shutdown the linux machine, it hangs trying to unmount filesystem, forcing me to do an unclean shutdown (via hardware of the Ctr-Alt-Syst-O key). I suppose the same behaviour will happen if for whatever reason the CIFS server is not responding, so the ability to cleanly shutdfown the machine depends on the fact of having a reliable internet connection and the remote server responding properly. Is there not a possibility to force unmounting an unresponding cifs server? If yes, should it not be a good idea to include it in the archlinux shutdown script.

    We already do this in the netfs rc.d script.

  • Rc.shutdown hangs on shutdown/reboot

    Hi,
    I installed Arch two weeks ago. Unfortunately it hangs at shutdown/reboot. It stopps succesfully the network-daemon and stops at this point. Keyboard and Mouse are responding but I'm unable to log in via a different console.
    The daemon that should be stopped after network is syslog-ng.
    My daemons:
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network nscd portmap fam nfslock netfs ypbind autofs crond gdm)
    I was able to reboot the system succesfully by disabling syslog-ng in the rc.conf and commenting out following lines of the rc.shutdown:
    #!/bin/bash
    # /etc/rc.shutdown
    . /etc/rc.conf
    . /etc/rc.d/functions
    # avoid staircase effect
    /bin/stty onlcr
    echo " "
    printhl "Initiating Shutdown..."
    echo " "
    if [ -x /etc/rc.local.shutdown ]; then
    /etc/rc.local.shutdown
    fi
    if [ "$PREVLEVEL" = "3" -o "$PREVLEVEL" = "5" ]; then
    # Shutdown daemons
    let i=${#DAEMONS[@]}
    while [[ i -ge 0 ]]; do
    if [[ `echo ${DAEMONS[$i]} | grep '^[^!]' | wc -l` -eq 1 ]]; then
    /etc/rc.d/${DAEMONS[$i]#@} stop
    fi
    let i=i-1
    done
    # find any leftover daemons and shut them down
    # these lines cause my system to stop the shutdown
    #if [ -d /var/run/daemons ]; then
    # for daemon in `ls /var/run/daemons`; do
    # /etc/rc.d/$daemon stop
    # done
    #fi
    fi
    # Terminate all processes
    stat_busy "Sending SIGTERM To Processes"
    /sbin/killall5 -15 &> /dev/null
    /bin/sleep 5
    stat_done
    I have absolutely no idea why my system is acting this way.
    [UPDATE]
    I tried using syslogd instead of syslog-ng but there's still the same problem. Why does my system dislike a system-logger this much?

    *bump*
    I have an almost identical problem to this one.  Which would be the most pertinent system, and log files one would need to help me trouble shoot this?
