Mac won't shut down, gets stuck at empty desktop.

When I shut down, even after quitting all applications, desktop gets cleared of icons, dock remains, and that's it, my Mac won't power off. I have to force shut down 99% of the time. I had the same problem even before the Yosemite update. The Mac is only 5 months old.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
OS X Yosemite 10.10

Note the time during the "bad" shutdown. After rebooting open the Console app that is in the Utilities folder and look for log entries at the time of the problem. Post suspicious ones here

My Mac won't shut down after upgrading to Panther

I recently upgraded to Panther 10.3 from Jaguar 10.2.9. After Panther had installed successfully, I used software update and I'm now running Panther 10.3.9. However, since then my Mac won't shut down. It doesn't hang or freeze - it just does nothing at all.
I've made sure no applications are running or have frozen. I've tried booting up from the OS X disk and running Disk Repair, and I've also tried using the 'fsck' tool. (I entered '/sbin/fsck -f' in single-user mode). Nothing has worked.
Now each time I want to shut down, I have to force shut down. Can anyone help?

Hard shutdowns can cause disk damage. You are better off leaving your Mac on until the problem is sorted.
Have you disconnected all peripheral devices (unmount firewire drives before disconnecting) except Apple keyboard and mouse and tried shutdown? Often peripherals can kick back a signal to the cpu preventing shutdown.

My Mac won't shut down.

My Mac won't shut down. It says I need to close Safari first but when I try to click close Safari the button isn't there.

If your Safari screen is up on the desktop click anywhere on the Safari screen and hit
"Command" and "Q" at the same time and it should close.
If that doesn't work, force quit the program by clicking on the Apple logo on the top left of your desktop screen and look for the "force quit option" and select Safari from the list.
if all else fails, hold down your power button on the computer until the machine shuts down.

Mini Mac won't shut down!

Core Duo won't shut down or log out or re-start but can sleep. Can use terminal to kill processes but it is not an application causing the problem. The output is to a TV via S-Video and am using wireless keyboard via USB.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Import to iPhoto. Mac won't shut down..

I imported some of my pictures from my iPhone to iPhoto, I then stopped the import and took out my iPhone. My iPhoto won't shut down now and it says that the import shall finish before I can shut it down. I can't even shut down my macbook, because of this. Anybody who knows what to do about it?

Thank you so much, for the information. This worked for me as well (using force quit). I still have the issue of iPhoto not importing my last set of photos. I did force quit and then restarted iPhoto, hoping the pictures (and one video) would just upload and it still won't import them. I keep getting the same message as before, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete". Only option is to click 'ok". or do a force quit. Have any input about this?

Mac won't shut down after 10.6.8 update - a possible fix

I noticed that after updating my MacBook Pro to 10.6.8 (using the latest 1.1 combo update) that often times when attempting to shut-down after using Safari the computer would just hang or, I'd get a message that said something like, "OSX didn't log you out because Safari did not quit...".
After putting the system into SAFE BOOT mode and trying to launch Safari I was getting tons of errors about Flash Player plug-in 10.6 crashing.
After downloading the latest Flash player plug-in from Adobe the hang-on-shutdown behavior seems to have stopped.
FYI for those who haven't found a fix.

Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??
Cheers, Chris.

My Mac won't Shut Down and is running Slow

It began with my Mac not shutting down or restarting. The shutdown process will end with a white screan and the thinking icon in the center.
Slowly, over a few weeks, the comuter began running slowly. Now my apps seem to be freezing on me often. iPhoto, Aperature, & Light Room have all frozen on me at some point. Other programs run slow.
Do I have a hardware problem?
A Virus?
thanks in advance for your help.

First question is how much free disk space do you have? Generally, around 10%+ is needed for OS X usage.
While you may not have spinning beach balls, see these two FAQs for things to check:

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top. It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking. What to do?

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003). It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top. I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me. I suspect a connection between these two problems.
I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder. It hasn't helped. The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
Help please!

It won't shut down

Granted, this is a much better problem to have than it shutting down randomly. But when I want to shut if off, it just keeps going. It hasn't always done that (it's 6 weeks old) Just the last couple of days. I tell it to shut down, I get the little prompt to wait a minute or shut it down immediately. I've tried both ways and... nothing. Ideas?

If your Mac won't shut down you can shut down thru the terminal with
"sudo shutdown -h now"

My Mac book pro shut down after getting a low battery message, and now or won't start at all. It's plugged in now and nothing, no fan, no chime when I hold down the power button

Mac Pro suddenly takes very long to boot and won't shut down... just spins

My Mac started taking very long to boot up... maybe 10 minutes before the icon bar becomes available.
Also, it won't shut down... it just spins. I've waited 30 minutes with no results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

CBuss,
The long boot cycle points to preference corruption. And not the kind that can be corrected with re-boots etc., Check Hard Drive>Library>Preferences to see if the listings make "visual" sense. If there are a lot of letters with circles over them and numbers interspersed, you are skating out on thin ice.
Back up everything now, then do a clean install of your current OS. Do not to an "archive". That will probably archive the corruption as well. Go up to Snow Leopard if you can. Add your data back manually as well. If you keep going with these lingering start ups, you will shortly get the "?" at startup instead of the Apple/ Chime and the long, expensive, recovery (by somebody else) will begin.
As for the 'shut down" issue.. I am still in the dark. Something is still "running" and canceling the shut down cycle.
Cheers
Toby

My mac os x 10.4.11 won't shut down

My Mac OS X 10.4.11 won't shut down with the exception of having to shut down manually in the back. Please advice.
Thank you,

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test if it will Shutdown from Safe Mode.

Firefox won't shut down. I am running 3.6.8 on a Mac. I haven't had this problem until recently.

Firefox won't shut down properly. I am running 3.6.8 on a Mac and usually I have to force quit to get it to shut down. This has only begun recently. If I knew how to roll back to a previous version I would and save you the trouble, but alas, I do not.

I'm having this same problem. I am going uninstall Firefox and install Google Chrome. This is ridiculous that there is NO solution Mozilla can provide us! I can't shutdown my Mac because Firefox won't shutdown. I got a script error message, tried to STOP or CONTINUE To no avail.

My Mac Mini Won't Shut Down Properly

I recently upgraded to 10.6.2 after buying a mac wireless keyboard and magic mouse. Now I keep getting this problem where the OS won't shut down.
One of the symptoms is that when I move the mouse to the area at the top right of the screen with the clock, volume and wifi icons (is there a name for that?) I just get a spinning beach ball. The clock has stopped too! Also the volume controls from the keyboard don't work any more, even the remote control stops working. I can't shut down or sleep the computer, even 'about my mac' doesn't work.
Other applications seem to work OK and in Activity Monitor I don't see any unresponsive apps.
This hanging doesn't start straight away and two things that have set it off have been using the volume controls and when I tried to press ⌘-space to search for something.
I really don't know where to begin!

Still doing it! I disconnected all the USB peripherals and that was fine for a while, also removed stuff out of the task bar thing that I wasn't using.
Then re-connected the USB hub and it happened again... maybe it's something to do with that or just bad luck...

Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
Thanks.
