Macbook pro does not shut down or restart

i have mid 2009 macbook pro. After i installed mavericks on it, everytime i let my computer stay on for more than 2 hrs or if i put it to sleep, it does not let me open any application. And also it doesnt restart or shut down. I can't copy, erase or do any of that stuff. so i have been shutting it down by holding the power button and start it again . And it works fine.
I used to have 2gb ram i replaced it with 8 gb and also replaced my hdd with sdd.
can anyone help me why my computer is acting up like this?

hope this helps. i tried not to put that much stuff but i thought i might not be including the lines that u really want to see... so here it is. i tried to cut it down as much as i can.

  • My new MacBook Pro does not shut down

    Hello,
    please help. I have a brand new computer - MacBook pro - 2.2 GHz, Intel Core i7, Mac OS X 10.6.7. When I bought it, I followed the onscreen instructions and "transferred" my old computer, 4 year old MacBook, onto the new one (my accounts, with all the documents, preferences, etc). Now, for some time, before getting my new computer, I had been experiencing problems on my old one: namely, it was not shutting down and I had to "force" it by pressing the switch. I should have known better than transferring the old comp's settings and accounts onto the new one. I didn't and now my new computer is also not shutting down. Does anyone know how to find where the problem is and how to eliminate it? Do I have to backup all, erase, and reinstall everything or is there a less drastic way to cure my afflicted computer?
    Thank you!
    P.

    Hi,
    running the activity monitor and select System Processes, set the window to see allrunning processes and sort by CPU usage, close all applications that are using and try to shut down your Mac, then identifies what the process that consumes more CPU percentage.

  • Macbook pro will not shut down or restart

    I have a new 17" Macbook Pro that is 2 months old. The laptop will not restart or shut down without holding down the power button and restarting by turning the power on button. Otherwise it will sit there and the gear icon will spin and spin until it goes into sleep mode.
    Everything was working fine until now. Any help would be appreciated.
    Paul

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Restart (not in safe mode) without doing anything else. Same problem now?

  • New i7 Macbook Pro does not shut down with Nokia Internet Modem CS-15

    Hello everyone!
    It is unfortunate that my first post here is regarding a problem! I am completely new to the whole Apple Mac thing but decided to buy a new 17 inch i7 Macbook Pro. Unfortunately a problem occurred when using the Nokia Internet Stick (modem) CS-15 where it stays on the blue screen with the spinning logo when trying to shut down. Heres what happened:
    After installing and connecting the modem, I used the intenet for a while. Then I folded the display panel downwards to put the computer to sleep mode (I didn't disconnect the modem) after a moment I pushed the display up again to bring the computer out of sleep mode and tried to quit the Nokia programme. It wouldn't so I used 'force quit'. It was not responding before. Once all programmes were closed, I shut down the computer but it just stays on the blue screen with the spinning logo. I can manually hold down the power button but i want to know why it won't shut down! I also noticed the Nokia Modem was still on with a flashing blue LED.
    I feel that the modem might be stopping the MBP from shutting down. I have tried to quit the programme before without putting the computer in sleep mode but sometimes it doesn't work and i need to use force quit.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? I haven't installed anything on the computer or have background programmes running - just seems to be a problem with USB devices stopping it from shutting down properly.
    I have also tried to pull the Modem out physically after quitting the programme but it still hangs on the blue screen!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you!
    New Mac user!!

  • Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart under Lion.

    After installing Lion, my i5 Macbook Pro will not shut down or restart. The shutdown starts and then hag=ngs with a grey screen and a spinning process indicator. Thoughts?

    Mine too. Restart and shutdown do longer works. Have to hard crash it each time.
    Called Apple, they have no clue.
    Buy a PC. At least Microsoft admit problems and offer solutions.

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

    HELP!!!
    Here are the specs of my machine:
    2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
    4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
    For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
    I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
    Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
    Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
    Thank you everyone!!

    I have this question too.

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down

    A principal at my district has a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2008 (2.4/2X1GB/200-5400/256VRAM/AG) running OS 10.5.8 that will not shut down. When shut down is chosen, the computer restarts instead of shutting down. It does not matter how shut down is chosen, whether it is from pull down menu, keyboard command, click on shutdown in the login menu, etc. I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, starting up from a known good system, and run diagnostics applications (which turn up no problems). The only way to get the machine to tunr off is hold the power button down until it shuts off.
    The user complains it also gets very hot when he leaves it sitting open in sleep mode. I have not observed that particular symptom. It also tend to run down the battery faster than it should (battery check shows it to have 80+% of it's original capacity.) But Activity Monitor does not show any unusual activity.
    Any suggestions what I can try next to figure this thing out?
    Thanks.

    On occassion (like tonight) my MacBook Pro will not
    shut down - even when I attempt to force quit. Any
    suggestions?
    Happens here too, but very rarely. In my case it mostly happens late at night when OS X is supposed to run some internal maintenance jobs, maybe some of them do not allow a shutdown?
    Does holding the power button down for approx. 10 seconds work? If yes, then I would not worry about it. If no, there is something seriously odd and I would report it to AppleCare.
    Cheers,
    Uwe

    My macbook pro will not shut down. It tells me that safari has cancelled shut down and to quit safari and try again, but every time I try to quit safari it won't let me. I need help...I don't know what to do.

    Have you tried holding the power button down for several seconds? I would try the force quit as mentioned earlier first, or go to the Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities and try force quit there.

  • Macbook pro will not shut down. Will someone help me?

    My husband's macbook pro will not shut down. Tried everything.  This occurred right after installing photoshop cs5.

    Have you attempted holding down the physical power for 10 seconds.

  • Macbook Pro will not shut down AND other issues...

    Macbook Pro will not shut down. Not using the POWER button, not using control/alt/command/esc, not using force quit, and obviously not by selecting Sleep or Shut down from the Apple menu.
    Force quit will not even pop up when selected.
    Top row keys do not work either, have gone into settings and switched them to F keys and back again, no luck.
    iPhoto will not import photos and will not shut down, gives me a message stating it is importing photos (nothing is connected to computer though). Baffling.

    Thank you everyone xx

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down properly

    MacBook Pro will not shut down properly. Gray screen appears with spinning gear but will not shut down completely.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    If you have an optical drive, make sure there is no disc in it.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or shutdown failure, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • My macbook air will not shut down or restart

  • Macbook does not shut down or restart. It stops at an blank white screen with the cursor moving around it. Updated to the latest software

    I have a Macbook Air 13.3" 2012 model. For a couple of days my Macbook does not shuts down. It just stops at a blank white screen with the cursor still hovering around it.  I have to shut it down forcefully every time using the power button.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down correctly

    When I try to shut down my MacBook Pro, it'll shut down then start up again. However, when the login comes up after it has started up, I press "Shut Down" and it works perfectly. Why is it doing this?
