MacBook Pro shutdown time

Recently I've noticed the shutdown time has increased from "very quick" (under 5 seconds) to "slower" (around 30 seconds). How can I return to "very quick"?

Close all windows, quit all apps. Lion's default behavior is to restore the desktop upon return, hence the more stuff on it, the longer it will take to store the current state.

    Macbook pro shutdown issue when I push the power button it immediately goes into sleep mode

    Hello Marrio22,
    Thank you for the question.  With OS X Mavericks, the power button has new functionality:
    OS X Mavericks updates the power button behavior on Mac computers. 
    Using the Power Button to Sleep & Wake
    Tap the power button in Mavericks to put your Mac to sleep or to wake it up:
    Tap the power button once to put your Mac to sleep.
    Tap the power button again to wake your Mac.
    Press the power button for less than a half a second to sleep or wake your Mac. This duration is similar to pressing the Space bar or Return key to wake your Mac. The power button works this way across all Macs using OS X Mavericks, including both notebook and desktop computers.
    Accessing the Shut Down Dialog
    Press and hold the power button for 1.5 seconds, to bring up additional options:
    Forcing the Mac to Turn Off
    Hold down the power button for 5 seconds to force the computer to turn off. Important: You may lose unsaved documents if you force the computer to turn off this way. Use this method of turning off your Mac only if it has become unresponsive for an extended period of time. Normally you should shut down the computer by selecting Shut Down from the Apple menu, or from the shut down dialog pictured above.

  • Can't backup macbook pro to time capsule

    I have backed up IMAC to my time capsule no problems but when trying to back up my macbook pro it wont do it. The macbook pro sees the time capsule but once time machine commences you get error mesage advising problem encountered as macbook pro and time capsule not on same network?
    Any ideas?

    Are you connected to the TC by wireless?
    Are you running Lion? Try using ethernet and turn off wireless.. what happens??

    I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

  • There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator.

    There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

    hey HAbrakian!
    You may want to try using the information in this article to adjust the behavior of your function keys to see if that resolves the behavior:

  • MacBook Pro and Time Capsule after adding new wireless router

    I have a MacBook Pro and Time Capsule (which functions wirelessly to router and computer). I added a new wireless router (netgear, not my idea) and had to change name of wireless network. Now Time Capsule flashes amber and does not show up in Airport Utility.
    Do I have to set up Time Capsule from scratch? If so, if you can aim me to directions I won't have to waste tech support's time.
    My additional question on a similar vein: I also have a Time Capsule (second time capsule) which is plugged into the wireless router using ethernet cable for use with a windows notebook running windows 7 which backs up wirelessly. Do I have to change anything on this Time Capsule (second Time Capsule) as a result of change in name of network (I've already adjusted computer to connect to network)?

    Hi DD,
    If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).

  • Macbook Pro shutdown on wake from sleep

    Hi there,
    I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro (4,1) to Lion, and it worked fine for a couple of weeks but it has now started shutting down (straight to black screen) every time I wake it from sleep, whether sleeping closed or open.
    I have tried an SMC reset and a PRAM reset and it doesn't help. I have wiped my disk and reinstalled Lion fresh, and still have the same problem. Interestingly, with the fresh install I have to enter my password every time I wake the computer, and it shuts down once I've put my password in.
    I guess the problem might stop if I downgrade to Snow Leopard again but I want to make it work. Well out of warranty so I don't know if they'll even look at it at the Apple Store.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can someone please Interpret this EtreCheck for me? Macbook Pro Boot Time Really Slow.

    Can someone please give me detailed instruction on what to do no next. I've read several forum discussion on this subject and seen various examples. i would like help with mine. Reason being is because my MBP boot up time is almost around 2-3mins long sometimes it can even be upto 5mins. reason i ask is because i know this is not normal. compared to my macbook (mid-2010) this is REALLY slow. And all the specs of my MBP should in theory make my MB a thing of the past. (Why i bought the MBP in the first place). i've done PRAM reset and booted in Safe Mode. i've removed several applications using the correct uninstalls where required.
    i have ran a terminal commands to clear the kernal caches and got these results (not sure if it will help). And neither have made a difference.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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
    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. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    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. Select the messages logged after 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 (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutesafter the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of 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 any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Restoring MacBook Pro from Time Machine

    I have been having system lock up issues with my MacBook Pro and am getting ready to reinstall a fresh version of Snow Leopard since I can't determine what is causing it. The system will crash and the cursor will turn into the spinning color wheel forever. At this point I do a hard shutdown by holding the power button. I am looking to restore my fresh install of Snow Leopard from my Time Machine backups but am wondering if I do that will my system have the same problem again since it's basically configuring my computer like it was before the fresh install. Any help is appreciated.

    From what it sounds like, if you were having a problem before and that is why you are reinstalling OSX, you should just start fresh. Restoring your fresh install from your back may just cause your fresh install to have the same problem from before. That's the boat I'm in now since most likely the problem plaguing my computer is likely stored in my back up file too. So restoring from my backup would make the problem come back.
