Mac not turning off??

I am new to mac's and if I push the power button on my mac, it seems to go to sleep, but how do I actually turn it off?

Under the Apple menu, select Shutdown.

    What kind of videos are you watching? 
    You need to force quit Safari, but hitting Command-option-esc, and force quit Safari.

  • HT201401 there is no sound when I play a video or music also it s not turning off.It s restarting.please help me.

    Hi, before 3 months when I start to  play any video or music to listen, I could not hear any sound. if I want to play video as handsfree mode it s not possible to hear any sound other problem is it s not turning off. When you want to turning off it s restarting...please help me.

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Imac does not turn off.

    hello,
    I have an imac, running on os x lion. u know how, when you click on shutdown, it shows the white screen. sometimes my imac does not turn off and keep showing it. could you please tell me what i can do to solve this problem.
    thanks

    The safe boot more or less resets system files.
    When it is something in the hardware:
    1.do the Pram and the SMC resets:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2. shutdown the mac and startup while holding the ALT(option) key: choose the Recovery Disk, from the window choose Disk Utility, select the Lion disk, choose "repair disk".
    When it is not a hardware problem:
    3. List the applications you installed in the last 6 months, also the ones from the Appstore.
    4. List the plugins (extensions) you have in Safari.

  • My Mac freezes, turns off and restarts.

    My Mac keeps turning off. It freezes, shuts down and restarts. It's happening quite frequently, everyday, and I'm really worried now. It happens at least a few times everyday but it hasn't been as frequent as it is now. I'm not sure what it could be. A virus? I have a version of MacKeeper. Isn't that supposed to prevent viruses from infiltrating into my system? I'm not tech person so I'm really lost here. Any help would be appreciated. My MacBook Pro is from 2010. Thanks.

    There may be other issues, but you should start by getting rid of "MacKeeper."
    "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    First, back up all data.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

  • Screen not turning off when closing the lid

    I have Windows 7 64-bit installed on my MacBook Air 13.3" as the only OS.
    Everything is working great with the bootcamp drivers except that when I close the lid the screen does not turn off. I don't want to turn off the notebook but only want the screen to turn off when the lid is down. I have looked a lot for a solution and am not able to find anything which can solve this problem.
    There is nothing in the power options that can be done. Bootcamp is supposed to recognize this by itself, but unfortunately it doesn't.
    Does anyone know a work around for this?
    Thank you

    That is correct. I have noticed the same thing. Windows 7 gives better battery life on MacBook Air then Mac OSX.
    I went to talk to a Genius about this, pretty useless, told me to wait for an update. It has been half a year but no update yet. This is the only problem with the Bootcamp drivers I have experienced. I have managed to live with it, but is still pretty annoying. I always once in a while think about finding a way to fix it, but there is nothing that can fix this problem. Unless someone at Apple sees and listens to what is going on in the online fourms and fix the problem.

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!

  • Mac mini turns off without any reason

    My Mac mini turns off without any reason. I just want to make a backup with time machine and after a while the computer doesn´t work anymore. I just see the start-screen with all the users and I had to sign with my user password. After the mac restarts, I had to start time machine again. I stopped energy-management, because I thought that might be the problem but not. Time machine should work the whole night, but I don´t want to sit the whole time next to the mac to wake him up every several minutes. What can I do?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy
    If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your login password when prompted.
    Click the Advanced button and, in the sheet that opens, uncheck the box marked
    Log out after … minutes of inactivity

  • Imac  27" does not turn off

    Hi,
    I have a brand new iMac 27" all in one, which works perfectly except for the fact that 3 times out of 4 it does not turn off with the normal command and I am obliged to turn it off with the back switch, after it remain for various minutes  with the blue window on and the wheel running.
    Initially I tried to disconnect an external HDD which was connected by USB and seemed to have solved the problem for a few days, but now the problem shows up again.
    At the moment I have connected only a Bamboo device on the USB port.
    I have tried to Verify the HDD and repair the disk, but no improvement.
    Any suggestion on how to proceed?  Thank you
    SS

    If all the prior steps have not resolved the issue then at this point I would suggest:
    Remove any additional memory you may have added to the system
    Reinstall of the OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8177.html
    If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    If this issue was occurring right out of the box on the brand new system without you adding any additional software / migrating data from an older Mac, be sure to let them know that as well.  Its unusual to have a blank, brand new system have this kind of behavior so that will save them some diagnostic steps.
    Best of luck to you.

  • IPhone will not turn off.

    My iPhone will not turn off. I did a restore about a week ago to repair the problem following which the phone would turn off albeit with some difficulty: I had to hold the top button down and not merely click it before the phone turned off but not so long that I would get the shut-down screen.
    Now, however, even after doing another restore, the iPhone will simply not turn off, no matter how long I hold down the top button. Nor do I ever get the shut-down screen. I've had to turn on the auto-lock option so that while I'm carrying the phone around it does not randomly dial or go online.
    I'm guessing this might be a hardware failure but wanted to check first to see if anyone else has run into this problem.

    If it's doing that after a restore, it more than likely issue on your logic board. I would contact Apple and get it serviced.
