Mac hangs on shutdown after 10.5.3 update

hey
ever since i updated to 10.5.3 every time i shut down my mac...it just hangs...so i have to keep the power button on the macbook pressed to force it to switch off.
also...i keep being asked to do some EFI Firmware update and i keep doing it...but it never seems to stick.
any ideas?
thanks in advance

I went through the same problem and go on the phone with apple after already running all of the disk utility repairs and pram reset. They then told me to unplug all power sources including the battery and hold down the power button for 15 sec (even harder reset)...that did not work. Then I was told to make a time machine backup and re-install osx (leopard) with an "erase and reinstall." I then took all necessities (photos, docs etc) from backup and put them on the computer, did another time machine backup (this one takes a long time b/c it is like the first time you turn on the computer). I then played around with some big apps and tried shutting down...it worked. This guarantees that there was a setting problem and not a hardware malfunction. I have now re-updated to 10.5.3 with the combo update and so far everything has been fine. If it is an application issue you can also do trial and error to figure out which one with your time machine backup. Reminder: when you do re-install calendars, email, address book etc. make sure to retrieve the application support file from the first time machine backup (it has all data in it) so you won't have to redo your databases which will be wiped when you do the re-install.

PB Hangs at shutdown after 10.5.8 update

I recently updated my OS to 10.5.8 from 10.5.2 Everything seemed fine... When I shut down the finder quits, everything disappears from the desktop, then it just hangs. I have to hold power button to get it to turn off.

Well, you guys have plenty of company. Every time an update is released, there's a chorus of groans from people who blame all their troubles on it. Usually, it turns out to be that they're running third-party software that hasn't been updated for compatibility with the update, and once they do that, everything is fine. So check all your third-party login items and System Preference panes and apply all available updates to them. Run the Repair Permissions and Repair Disk routines in Disk Utility. See whether these steps don't get your machines running right again.

MBP shutdown after 10.6.2 update is slower than before!

Hello all,
Since after 10.6.2 update, my MBP shutdown time extended from less than 5 secs to over 25 secs. I've gone through some solutions including resetting disk permissions using disk utility, setting the PRAM, using font explorer to clear fonts as suggested by a user that got his problem solved. No luck at the moment. Prior to 10.6.2 update my MBP used to shutdown in less than 5 secs. Although i bought a new usb modem called ZTE usb Modem (Model: K3565-Z) from my cellphone carrier Vodacom in South Africa. I mention this because on my Mac Mini, whenever i want to shutdown, i have to force quite this application before the Mac Mini (which is also running 10.6.2 update) shuts down fine under 5 secs. So am guessing the usb modem is the cause of the problem somehow but I can't find out how. If not then it must be with the 10.6.2 update.
Any help will be appreciated.

1.) Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
Failing that, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.
2.) Did you update via Software Update or did you download the combo? If you used Software Update, get the Combo updater instead and re-apply:

Mac won't shutdown after Leopard upgrade; Kernel trap report

After upgrading to Leopard last week, my iMac has repeatedly failed to shut down properly. When I select shutdown, the system seems to be turning off as usual, closing all programmes and the screen switching off to black, but one fan is still left running. The fan keeps running indefinitely (I've left it overnight many times and it's still been running in the morning) and the only way I can shut it off is by manually holding down the power switch for 5 seconds.
When I do that, and then turn the computer back on, I'm given a report mentioning a "kernel trap" etc, which I can't really decypher. If anybody could help me, I would really, really appreciate it.

HI,
I think it's a kernel panic you are experiencing. Possibly when you upgraded to Leopard, a 3rd party software/hardware isn't compatible.
Go here to Resolve Kernel Panics
*"my iMac has repeatedly failed to shut down properly"*
Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
The System Management Controller (SMC) is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMC may resolve it. The SMC controls several functions, including:
Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.
Handling system resets from various commands.

Optical Audio not working on 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 after 10.6.7 update

Hi all,
I have no digital audio output on my 2006 Mac Pro after I updated to 10.6.7. System Preferences recognizes the output but their is nothing coming out. The digital audio port goes from steady red at startup to dark, indicating that it is not receiving anything. I have switched to another digital audio cable with no effect whatsoever.
I reset the SMC with no effect. I have read online that other users are having this issue as well. I appreciate any input or insight into the issue.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply a brody.
It has been 3 months and the issue still persists and has not gone away. I agree with pantufl that my Mac has become buggier since 10.6.7. The doc I read and reread didn't do anything except change the frequency rate. There is still no sound.
The update to 10.6.8 didn't resolve anything except prepping it for 10.7
This is extremely frustrating especially since I recently upgraded to a 55" Samsung LED LCD monitor and Onkyo HT S7300 system. I also recently upgraded to EyeTV HD and use my Mac as my HTPC.
I will try the feedback post to see what Apple has planned, if anything.

Mac Pro Boot Problems After 10.6.2 Update

After installing the latest version of snow leopard I am now having boot problems on my mac pro.
Symptoms;
-Screen resolution is incorrect at apple splash screen.
-Takes a lot longer than usual to boot.
-Once booted the blue tooth magic mouse isn't imediately reckonised, takes a while to find that.
-Once the mouse is finally reckonised it can move around but can't click on anything or bring up the dock. Tried a wired mouse, had the same problem.
-The keyboard is also not appearing to do anything, none of the shortcuts or quick keys work..
Had exactly the same problem after 3 restarts but on the 4th after leaving it for a good 20-30minutes it setled down and everything was working okay. However this is a recurring problem as I had the same thing yesterday...
I have a my 10.5.8 system backed up on an external so I am running from that at the moment. Don't want to go back to snowy til these problems are solved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Martin

Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
Let us know.

Fresh install of 10.5 hangs at boot after 10.5.8 update

I'm troubleshooting a MacBook that hangs at start-up after installation of the 10.5.8 complete update. I've run Disk Utility (no errors), fsck (fixed a single error), and repair permissions (oddly, repaired a few on this fresh install). I've booted into verbose mode, and it appears that there's an infinite loop of:
localhost DirectoryService[#]: Launced version 5.8.1 (v514.28)
localhost ReportCrash[#]: Saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/DirectoryService. . . .(it goes on, but it's just date info).
Again, this is a fresh installation of 10.5. The only programs that have been updated are those updated through Apple Update. I did have problems installing the 10.5.8 update through the Update utility because "the package contents could not be verified," but the update installed fine after I downloaded it from Apple's site.
Any ideas?

MAC WILL NOT REBOOT AFTER DOWNLOADING LATEST SECURITY UPDATE

I downloaded the latest Security Update to my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. It downloaded but would not restart. I finally managed to get it to boot to a bootable external drive and using Disk Utility found the HD was OK but the Preferences way out of wack. I patched up what I could but when I tried restarting to the original drive it would not work. I just get the white screen with a circle and stroke through it after a minute with the spinning ball. I have tried the original start up Disk, pressing C on Startup, but it just spits it out. I tried to use an older System Disk, one for Leopard but it will not see it. I tried zapping the PRAM twice to no avail. Now it won't see the bootable drive either.....
To me it sound like a massive hard drive fail, maybe nothing to do with the Security update. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated though.....
Thanks,
Stephen

Hello
It seems that the update set your preferences to "use PPPOe" while you where using "TCP/IP".
Go to "System Preferences" and enter the pane whose icon is named "Réseau" in french (maybe "Network" in english.
Reset your settings to "TCP/IP".

Mac stuck in restarting after 10.9.4 update

Just downloaded OSX 10.9.4 update. MAC is newish 13" Macbook Pro Retina. Download went fine. Mac screen says "Restarting". Blue diagonal bars not moving. "Wheel" is moving. Been doing this for 3+ hours...
Have to catch a flight in a few hours...
Should I do a hard reset or wait??

I spent the last couple of days replacing the original spinning disk in my late 2011 MacBook Pro to a Samsung EVO 840 SSD. After using Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my disk contents to the SSD, I rebooted and was using my Macbook for a couple of hours. I have 10.9.2 on it. I tried applying the 10.9.4 update earlier today, the screen got stuck at the "Restarting" prompt, though the barber pole progress meter was moving, after an 1.5 hours no progress was shown. I tried rebooting the mac as others have done above but in my case, it bricked the Macbook. I couldn't repair the drive at all. Fortunately I still had my original drive available and I am now re-cloning it a second time.
Be warned. YMMV if you reboot a Macbook in the middle of an update. I will not be updating to 10.9.4 once it re-clones. I haven't had any issues with 10.9.2., and with all the other threads I've seen with people having issues with 10.9.3 and newer, it doesn't make sense in my case.

Did anybody experience this problem? How to make sure that Mac is using proper card? I noticed that crashed contained Nvidia reference, but I don't have and Nvidia card.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you search for these problems independent of 10.9.4 I suspect that you will find that many people were having this failure before the update. I certainly am not an expert and would not have weighed in had I not seen your comment regarding kernel panics, which are pretty rare in my experience.
Humor me as I speculate further: My problems got worse when the discrete graphics card heated up. Perhaps 10.9.4 is causing it to be used more? I used ice packs and gfxcardstatus to keep mine from crashing long enough to do a Time Machine backup, but by the next day it wouldn't even boot up. So by all means try the combo update or whatever but a backup is definitely in order in case this amateur turns out to be right, since in my case time was of the essence.

Mac Won't Boot after Boot Camp Windows Update - Macbook Pro Mid 2010

Hello All, and thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
I have a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. Last year I upgraded the RAM, then this year I decided to upgrade the hard drive to an SSD-hybrid. Everything went perfectly smoothly with both upgrades, and I was a happy camper.
I had also installed Boot Camp with Windows 7 and everything worked perfectly. Then last night, I boot in to Windows 7 and it gives me a 'service pack update'. After installing it, I had to reboot my computer. Rebooted it and it accidently started booting OSX. No problem, I thought. I held down the power button, and booted back in to Windows. The service pack installation continued and it had me restart my computer an obscene amount of times during the installation. This is when I initially thought "this is weird".
Finally the service pack installs, and I'm able to use Windows 7 again. Then I shut down the machine and tried to boot back into OSX. No dice.
Here's how the OSX booting process goes:
First, the Apple logo appears, then what appears to be a progressive loading bar at the bottom. After a few seconds, the loading bar disappears. Then it's just at the Apple booting screen with the spinning wheel/gear and sits there indefinitiely. I let it sit there for over an hour last night and nothing happened.
Any suggestions? I tried resetting the NVRAM and the SMC.
Thanks so much,
dlevv

It looks like a hard disk problem. Press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair your drive
