Mac 10.6.8: click shut down from menu, it goes to sleep.
Hi there, I've just noticed this recently, that when I shut down my mac, I figure it has shut down, the sleep light doesn't flash so it looks good.
But when I come to turn it on in the morning, I press the power button, I realized that it's been in sleep mode all night.
I used the terminal and command force quit and it worked for that time but I'm still having problems.
How do I fix this?

Mac 10.6.8 shut down and would not restart. Took to tech, on bench for few days, then started up fine. Two months later sequence repeated. Now working fine. Problem??, as I suspect it will recur.
What did he tech say about a possible cause? Run the hardware test which is on disc 1 of the System DVD that originally came w/your comp. Post the results.

Safari shuts down when Macbook Pro goes to sleep in 10.10.1
When I leave the computer open and the screen goes to sleep, I am finding that when I bring it back up, Safari has shut itself down. I have a Macbook Pro 13" with Yosemite 10.10.1
Try having a look in Console, in your Utilities folder. This shows you what your Mac is trying to do on shutdown.
You could post the results back here for people to have a look at. -
My Mac Pro is doing some weird things on random time frames, for example:
-For 4-6 months it works perfectly, I mean it never shuts down unexpectedly and it goes to sleep mode without a problem but after that it goes back to this weird phase and after 2-3 days back to normal.
In the last 3 years I have replaced the following components:
Graphic Card (from Nvidia GeForce 8800GT to ATI Radeon HD 5770)
Memory (From 10 GB to 32 GB)
2x New Riser Cards
New Power Supply
New HDD
Logic Board Battery
With all these replacements I still have this issue, do you think the Logic Board is causing that?

I have bene shut down from my previous Apple email ID as i left my company email' server. I have move to gmail and have successfully reset my Apple ID accordingly. My iCloud, IFace etc...unfortunately pop up with the previous email address and I dont remember the password, so I cant get in and change it to gmail! Anyone out there knows what to do, i would be very grateful, thanks. M
First thing to try is just to sign out on all your devices. If you can do that you can just sign in with the new ID. However if you've set up 'Find My iPhone' you won't be able to.
In that event go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -
MacBook Pro freezes after clicking 'Shut Down' and won't remember 9600M GT
After choosing 'Shut Down' from the Apple menu my MacBook Pro (1998, 5,1 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) freezes and the Grey Screen of Death appears.
Strangely this only happens when I'm using the lower-power GeForce 9400M graphics card. When I use the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card my MacBook Pro wil shut down normally.
Ever since upgrading my system to Mac OS X 10.6.3 this problem occurs. But since then also other problems arose. After installing Safari 5 my MacBook didn't boot, and I had to zap the PRAM to get the system booting again. Since then my system won't save the 9600M GT setting in the Energy Saving panel. I can logout from the 9600M and login to the 9600M GT, but after a reboot it switches back to the 9600M card.
Today I did a combo update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, but all the problems still occur. Also I did maintenance tasks with 'Cocktail' and 'Maintenance', but that didn't help either.
Also sometimes after choosing the GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, OS X logs out and hangs in the blue screen instead of displaying the login screen.
I hope someone can help me out with this!Unfortunately the problem reoccured, alltought less. The last weeks my MacBook froze two times.
The report I send to Apple contains the following:
... Sat Jul 17 12:42:23 2010
panic(cpu 1 caller 0x124fc5b): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-2.8.63/k ext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp:849
Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)...
Anyone a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks! -
unable to bootup after Yosemite install. have to keep shutting down from rear button. it does come on after a few times but then hangs at user login again. If you get in it is great. Seems faster than Mavericks but there is some sort of issue, bootup /login.
Knock on wood, this seems to have been my problem as well. I stumbled on this thread after dealing with this ridiculously-long boot times for the past several weeks.
I just reinstalled McAfee Antivirus and my Macbook Air booted up in less than 1 minute. No more hanging on the boot-up progress bar. No more hanging after I click on my user's avatar on the log-in screen. Bootup would often take 5+ minutes and sometimes never complete.
This has been SUPREMELY frustrating.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING YOUR RESPONSE!!! -

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through. -

To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
Open System Preferences
Choose View > Energy Saver.
Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
Hope this helps ...

Mac book pro, overheats and shuts down as 2 hours the use
mac book pro, overheats and shuts down as 2 hours the use
Hi, I am facing the same issue.
Did you able to solve your issue? Please advise. -
Shutting down from a console you're not using.
As described by many users of fglrx or r128 on old cards... when shutting down from inside X, there is a very good chance that the computer will freeze before it finishes shutting down.
Nothing I can do saves that and from others I hear the only way to complete the shutdown is to ssh into the machine and issue that command.
This led me to believe that if the shutdown command comes from an outside source it will finish whether or not the console running X has frozen. I tried this script:
#!/bin/bash
rm /home/dummy
until [ 6 -eq 9 ]; do
if [ -e /home/dummy ]; then
poweroff
else
sleep 5
fi
done
And used touch /home/dummy to turn off the computer. The script runs in console 2 so the poweroff command came from console 2 but i was running X in console 1. Nevertheless I just experienced another lockup and the computer would not shut down.
Any idea why? When someone ssh's into the machine and types "poweroff" the actual command that turns off this computer is coming from sshd correct? And the reason it works is because sshd does not run in the same console as X, it starts up as a daemon before you even login to a console at all. Does that mean if I somehow make the above script into a daemon and start it before logging in, touch /home/dummy will shutdown successfully all the time?
I need some way of shutting down (and using ssh all the time from another machine isnt practical) and I'm really confused as to why sshd can shutdown when console 1 is frozen but console 2 cannot shutdown when console 1 is frozen. The only way to avoid the freeze would be to turn off 3D acceleration and from everything I've read this means starting X without 3D. I'd love to know if there's a way to turn off 3D in the middle of an X session.
Does anyone have solutions? Or am I stuck waiting until I have a server which automatically shuts down my laptop over ssh, when the laptop tells the server it wants to shut down?Hopefully this will become a non-issue soon as kernel 2.6.23 makes the chance of freezing on shutdown seem like only 1%.

Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know. Each time I was watching a video.
Try running the Apple Hardware Test - sounds as if you've hardware issues.

New Mac Pro (quad) does not shut down!
Hey guys
I've just taken delivery of a new Mac Pro for my home music studio, and have loaded up various software such as Native Instruments Komplete, BFD3, Sympobia etc... and Logic Pro X.
In the last two days, whenever I shut down the Mac Pro, it goes to a grey screen (light grey) with the mouse pointer still visible, and then just freezes and doesn't proceed to power off.
Before I provide further information, does anyone have an idea of what might cause this behavour and anything I should be trying to resolve it?
Cheers and thanks,

I don't know what might be causing that but one way to find out is to set your Mac to start up and shut down in "verbose mode."
To turn on Verbose booting, at the Terminal type the following:
sudo nvram boot-args="-v"
Disabling Verbose booting is just as easy:
sudo nvram boot-args=
You'll see the various steps the Mac runs through to boot and to shut down. When it hangs, you'll be able to see what point it's hanging at.
BTW, did it behave this way before you loaded up all that software? -
