Logout/shutdown hangs half way through repeatedly

When I attempt to logout/restart on my iMac, most of the time all the visible apps close but then the desktop picture doesn't go away and the computer never completes the logout/restart process.
I am assuming (perhaps wrongly, since I don't know much) that there is a "hidden" app in the background that is still running and nixing logout. However, no error window or indicator appears. Is there a way to figure what is stopping this logout/restart process?
The issue is intermittent, making it tough to trouble shoot. However, it happens on both of our home iMacs, as well as 80% of the time on my work iMac. It never happened on any machine before the upgrade to Yosemite, so I am guessing it has something to do with Yosemite. But, to make it more confusing, it never occurs on my MPP that also runs Yosemite.
I've trashed the com.apple.finder.plist file, repaired permissions & restarted the computer multiple times but the issue persists.
More specifically, when logging out or attempting to shut down, all the visible apps close and my desktop goes blank (i.e., the hard drives and desktop icons all go away, except for the Dock, but the Desktop background picture itself remains unchanged), but the computer never finishes shutting down. Relaunching Finder does nothing, i.e. nothing happens after I give the command to relaunch. I can still open applications (except for Finder) via the Dock and they behave normally, with menu bars appearing at the top of the screen, but Finder never starts working and the hard drive icons never show up again on the desktop.
On one machine where we run multiple users (for the kids), sometimes it will happen for one of the users but not others. On the other machines where it repeatedly happens, there is only a single user.
It's not the end of the world to force a reboot with the hard power key most of the time, but it would be really nice to figure out why this is happening and fix it.

Here are some logs.
Another potential clue: we have 6 user accounts on our home iMac. Repeatedly, with the forced reboots necessitated by this bug, two of the accounts are greyed out on the main login screen following a reboot. The names are there under the icons, but the icons no longer have the colored pictures that should be associated with them. In the past several months, intermittently these icons will be fixed and log in works fine (I have no idea why they get fixed occasionally and then rebreak with the forced reboots), but yesterdy my wife tried to login to her greyed out icon and it wouldn't accept her password and then went to a whole different error screen asking her to change her password, does the keyboard not work, etc. Does this help with the troubleshooting process?
Also, the issue occurs on my home and work iMacs running Yosemite. The work iMac only has one account so don't think the multiple accounts has anything to do with the problem per se.
And the issue does not occur on my old MPP 17" running a similar version of Yosemite, and it has 3 accounts.
This issue is starting to impair productivity both at home and work so would appreciate any advice anyone has. And our University "hates" Macs, so I don't want to give them any excuse to force us all to go to the PC World
Much appreciated.

  • Safari 5.0.6 still hangs half-way, often

    My OSX 10.5.8 dual G5 with Safari 5.0.6 still hangs half-way, often, when I click on URLs or bookmarks.
    Strangely, when it does so, it seems to always hang with the blue progress bar in the same spot, almost exactly half-way up the URL address field.
    If I stop the load and Reload Page, it always immediately gets the whole page loaded and shown.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Thanks very much, Klaus1.
    0. All of this hanging started suddenly after the last Apple System Security Update of a month or so ago. Perhaps 1/3 my *newly requested* pages hang during loading now, half-way through always, and going to a new tab and loading a different site will only hang 1/3 of the time, i.e. mostly opening a new tab and site is fine. Re-loading any page is always fine.
    Your suggestions:
    1. I clear cache and history, regularly, several times a day.
    2. Using 8.8.4.4, 8.8.8.8 - Google Public DNS. I used to use OpenDNS but had trouble with it a few months back.
    3. Not part of a network
    4. It is only a year old, from Sky Broadband, and has served me very well until issue 0. above
    5. Interesting... DNS pre-fetching: What is this and is it likely to cause pages to begin loading (AFTER DNS time) and then hang half-way through? I would think this problem is NOT my DNS settings, since the normal (short) DNS delay still occurs and the progress bar moves normally to half-way then hangs.
    6. Flash: Yes, it's a total mess these days, bloated and very buggy. This sometimes causes an overall slow down, but not hanging for me.
    7. I will try the "killall" next time a page hangs; will this fix that current hang, or do I need to reload. REMEMBER: reloading *always* unhangs the page load.
    Thanks, but unless I missed something, non-obvious, none of these help.

    If Safari is getting very slow:
    1. (Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
    and clear your History)
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    2. If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    3. If your computer is part of a network:please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/best_practices/#your_network and follow the advice given.
    4. If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
    5. One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
    You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
    defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
    You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
    6. If Safari seems to hang for ages:
    If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
    Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
    killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
    Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
    Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
    For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML5 in January 2011:

  • Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through

    Hi guys,
    I am currently editing videos from my Canon SLR with Adobe Premiere Elements (Windows).
    In the same project, I have only uploaded videos taken the same day with the same equipment. I have been able to process them all normally apart from one. For some reason, when I play this file with a basic video player, everything works fine but when I import it in the Adobe software and play it either through the small window or in the timeline, I have the same problem:
    Everything works fine (audio and video in sync), until it reaches a specific point (totally random as far as I can tell) when the video keeps going but suddenly the sound repeats itself from the beginning of the file (and the audio which would correspond to the video is replaced by it). For you to understand better the problem:
    Video:   ABCDEF
    Audio:   ABCABC
    I have tried opening it in a different project and somehow it happens exactly at the same point.
    I am totally clueless of what it comes from and getting really frustrated!
    Any idea?
    Cheers
    Babs

    Hello, I'm new to using forums like this.  Is it appropriate for me to post that I'm having the same issue?  Also sounds similar to Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through as well.
    My situation is:
    Win7 64-bit, i7 920, 2.67GHz, 8GB RAM
    Multiple Nikon D7000 video clips I've taken play back fine except for the following clip.  In Windows Media Viewer, I have no problem, but in PE10, in the timeline editor, this clip repeats the audio from the beginning starting about 6 minutes into the video.  I have Quicktime version 7.7.5 installed which I noticed was mentioned as a possible culprit in the other thread.
    I've been using my camera primarily for stills, but decided to have my mom tell her story before she wasn't able to.  I'm so frustrated with this problem because I know the audio is just fine since I can play it back synchronized throughout the entire clip in WMV.  I've tried cleaning out PE caches as best I can figure them out and created new projects without any better luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm open to getting a new version of PE or another program if I could believe that I wouldn't run into this issue again.  This seems like such a vanilla problem since all my other clips seem to be fine and this one does too on WMV.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.  I don't really know where else to go to figure this out.

  • I am currently restoring my Ipod 5 however half way through recovering my ipod 5 iTunes say's "locked with a password unlock ipod etc... " and turns on the iPod and my iPod is still disabled what do i do?

    I am currently restoring my ipod 5 however half way through re-covering my ipod 5 Itunes says "locked with a password unlock ipod etc..." and turns on the ipod and my ipod is still disabled...
    what do i do??

    Try and force it into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • TS1424 My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
    another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

  • Accepting user input half-way through a script.

    Short version of the question:
    I'm trying to output a few lines to the screen and then ask the user for some input. Depending on what is input, one of two things can happen. How can I ask the user for input half-way through running a script? I've tried the '&' substitution variable, but instead of prompting half-way through, it prompts at the beginning of the script, hence confusing everything!
    Long version of the question:
    I'm making a game where 5 unique cards are taken from a pack of 52 cards. So far this is working fine. What then happens is the first card is displayed to the user and then the user is prompted for an 'H' or an 'L' to see if they think the next card will be of a higher or lower value than the one displayed.
    The next card is then displayed, and if correct the above is repeated. This is done 4 times in total before a game is won.
    My problem lies in prompting the user for input.
    I've tried to use ACCEPT and PROMPT to ask the user for input after each card is displayed and have used &input in the code to see what the user has input, but instead of prompting after each card, it simply prompts the user for input right at the beginning of the script - even though the ACCEPT and PROMPT code is where I would like it.
    How can I do what I would like to? Do I use &substitution variables? If so, what method do I use to prompt the user? I've searched for ages and haven't found anything! From what I can see, it looks as though this may not be possible, but I'm sure I'm wrong on this!
    Thanks for reading.

    Hi,
    Check the following. If it helps you, then fine.
    Step 1: Script file "sample.sql" contained the following

    SELECT ename, deptno FROM emp WHERE deptno = &dno;
    ACCEPT salary PROMPT "Enter Basic Salary: "
    SELECT ename, sal FROM emp WHERE sal > &salary;
    Step 2: @sample.sql The output given below

    new 1: SELECT ename, deptno FROM emp WHERE deptno = 10
    ENAME DEPTNO

  • I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. Will I still be charged?

    I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. I have rebooted Itunes and resumed the download of the movie only to receive the same error code. Has the movie file been corrupted? Can I recover the rental even though the time has elapsed? Will I be charged?

    Did you figure this out?  I haven't rented a movie in this new iTunes yet and saw one tonight I wanted to rent.  Same fricken thing is happening to me.  I hate this new iTunes, and I really hate that there are problems like this....why the heck do they have to fix something that isn't broken and break it?  This just really stinks.

  • Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
    This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
    What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
    Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
    Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
    Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
    Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
    Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
    I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
    But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
    Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
    You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s)  and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
    If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
    Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
    Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

    No, but they will likely let you redownload it if you report the problem:

  • My iPod wants to play music half way through one song and then start the next one, or pick up in the next song were the first song was at.  How do I fix this?

    I've had it for the past few days that when I have a album playing it will play a song half way through and start the next one, however it still shows the first song name and the time that is on there.  I don't know weather it's just a glich in the iPod itself or if there is something wrong with it all together.   I've never had this problem up until a few days ago, and I really don't know what to do about it.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • After Quicktime dowloads, it freezes half way through.

    I made a QT movie (size 640x480, H 264, K frame 24, frame reorder: yes, D rate: 2.30 mbits, sound: IMA 4:1 mono, about 76MB).  It runs fine on my MacBook. I uploaded it to my website, it was then sent through an email and downloaded to another MacBook Air.  it looks clear and the sound is fine til half way through, then the screen freezes and the music stops, the little dot though still moves along the bottom of the control bar, as if it is still going. Tried downloading again and teh same thing happens in the same place. This happened with another video as well.
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions BigMak
    This is likely not a preference issue, but just to be sure, when you deleted the preferences, did you delete all of the preference files as I detail in my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly?
    More likely this "freezing" (as opposed to crashing) is a problem with full Recent Items and/or AutoSave folders or a corrupt font. There are three articles in the User Tips Library dealing with Recent Items.
    Dale Gillard - AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?
    Dale Gillard - Recent items not visible/updated
    Yvan Koenig - No More Recent Items
    The most frequent cause of AppleWorks quitting during start up is a corrupt font. In watching the AppleWorks start up window, do you see where it was when it crashed? If my guess is correct, it would be during "Building Font Menu." First, look for a font named Bauhaus 93. This font is installed by versions of Microsoft Office before Office 2004. The Bauhaus 93 with Office 2004 is not corrupt. If you don't find Bauhaus 93 you'll need to go through the trial & error of locating a corrupt font. Using the OS X Font Book is not reliable when it comes to finding problem fonts affecting AppleWorks.
    The trial & error method of corrupt font isolation involves moving all of the fonts from the various font folders to another folder (the Desktop is a good place) & then moving a few back at a time & trying to launch AppleWorks. When it crashes you will know the culprit is in the last bunch.

  • My iPod is playing songs half way through and not at the beginning?

    Okay, so I will be listening to a song like "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles and will get the urge to change the song to a different band and song half way through of listening to it. After listening to the new band and song and like a month goes by I will go back to The Beatles song and it will begin where i left off and not in the beginning like it used to. How can i fix this because it makes me mad that it starts half way through and not in the beginning?

    Hello uhmcookies,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I believe the "Remember playback position" is enabled for these songs in iTunes. This option will ensure that wherever you leave off in a song is always where it will be picked up off at. This is a nice feature for audiobook tracks, but not music.
    Anyways, you can disable it by removing the check mark next to this option from under the track's Options tab in iTunes. You can access this tab by right->clicking on the track and choosing "Get Info" from the menu.
    Hope this helps.
