MBP takes long time to shut down

Hi,
Recently my 13" Mid 2012 MacBook Pro has been taking around 30-40 seconds to shut down whereas it only took 3 seconds before. The system itself is as responsive as ever and the OS and hardware seem to be working well, but the hard drive seems to be taking a long time to stop. Please help. This is very worrying.

  • Why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?

    why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?

    Can't really say, but I see this occurring on all of my Macs since the 10.8.2 update and keep reading about it at several other Mac user boards.
    Bottom line: it's a general problem, but more of an inconvenience, than a serious problem. Probably will be solved with the next update.

  • Take long time to shut down for macbook pro OS yosemite

    after installed yosemite, my macbook pro (year 2013)take very long time (about 30sec) to shut off when i click shut down.. anyone have the same problem?

    5 seconds is to fast. 20-30 seconds OK. 40 seconds have a cup of coffee.

  • My macbook air takes longer time to shut down even after having 32GB of free space in it.

    Please give me solution fast.

    And that's tested with your Mac? That's fast (I only get about 23Mbps with my ISP!).
    You should have no trouble with slow page loading. You might want to change your DNS's through the Network panel in System Preferences. I would try the OpenDNS servers:

  • Mac OS X take a long time before shutting down...

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem that I can't explain :
    My mac book pro take a long time before shutting down. I don't know why.
    When I click shut down, everything works normally.
    OS X quit my applications, the dock, the finder...
    But it's stay 10 minutes on my desktop background before the logout and finally the shutdown (what's the matter ? what does it do ?).
    I don't know what to do to find the problem...
    Maybe it's a process but I don't know how to localize it.
    What are the minimal processes in OS X (I'll try to find the problem by elimination) ?
    P.S. Sorry for my basic English... French native.
    Thank a lot for your help !

  • WAN MINIPORT ERROR AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO SHUT DOWN

    Few days before,my device manager was showing yellow exclamation mark in wan miniport(ikev2),SSTP and another area, which i can't remember.So i searched on forums and use  another software to fix this.The link to website is  - https://www.vpnhosting.cz/index.php/clanky/wan-miniport-repair-tool-solve-vpn-and-dial-up-error-code-720-and-similar-ppperrors.html
    i followed the process but now when i boot my laptop it does not show wan miniport driver initially on device manager .After long hours it shows wan miniport drivers but again with yellow excamation mark.I think it tries to install the driver at the beginning.Now
    the problem is, when i shut down it takes a  very long time with a huge fan operation noise.Many times it goes in to hibernation state to avoid overheating.Sometimes i have to forcibly shut down using the power button.Now  when i start it , it again
    does not show wan miniport drivers in device manager.This way the cycle continues and many times my laptop does not get a proper shut down.What do i do? please help me..

    Hi,
    May I know thw error code displayed in the problematic wan miniport drivers? Code 720 as in the link you post above or other error code?

  • MBP takes long time to restore wired network connection after wake-up

    Hello...
    My Mid-2010 MBP (MacBookPro6,2) has been experiencing this problem recently -- Whenever I wake up the computer from sleep, it needs approximately 10 seconds to restore its wired network connection. I know there are other annoying connection issues with MBP's WiFi/AirPort out there, but I'm talking about the wired connection here.
    Maybe some don't even think this slowness is a problem at all, but this laptop used to be network-ready right after wake-up until 3~4 months ago. That was around the time when I upgraded to SSD and changed some settings via pmset, not sure if that's the culprit. It is now running OS X 10.8.5 and its pmset settings are:
    Battery Power:
    lidwake              1
    ttyskeepawake        1
    hibernatemode        3
    gpuswitch            2

    Maybe try this, i am not sure that it will resolve the problem, but it is worth trying anyways.

    Hi All,
    I've seen this problem multiple times, especially with Windows 7 64-bit versions and Enterprise edition.  The source of the problem appears to be the Bonjour service that is installed in the background and set to "Automatic" when installing certain 3rd
    party applications.  Apple applications like iTunes and Adobe applications like Acrobat Professional and Creative Suites have been known to cause this problem.  I've also seen virtualization software like VMWare and VirtualBox cause similar issues
    with network adapters.
    The solution in most of the cases I've come across has been to stop and disable the Bonjour service.  The Bonjour service also masquerades as a service with a name of the format "##Id_String1.6844F930_blahblahblah".  Here's how to disable this service
    in Windows 7:
    Right-Click on Computer > Select 'Manage'
    Expand the 'Services and Applications' section in the bottom of the Left-Nav dialog and Select 'Services'
    Sort the Services list by name and look for either "Bonjour" or the "##Id_String..." name mentioned above
    Right-Click on the service and select 'Properties'
    Click the 'Stop' button to stop the service
    Select 'Disabled' from the 'Startup type' drop down list
    Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'
    Reboot your machine and see if the "Multiple Networks" issue is resolved.  If so, you should have internet connectivity again.
    Hope this helps.
    cheers,
    Aaron

  • MBP takes long time to start up and applications freeze up

    This has been a problem for a while now and I tried deleting the harddrive and reinstalling all of my software but it didn't work.  Safari can work for a while but regularly freezes up so I have to force quit and reopen.  Some applications like Pages don't even open most of the time and the icon just continues to bounce endlessly.  I upgraded the software recently but it's still a problem.  Does anyone know what the issue might be?
    Thanks in advance.

    You could try skype...

    so maybe the issues are more than one.
    important: i tried to do a safe boot and my laptop DID go to sleep right away. then re boot normally, and the issue came back. help!!!

    again me, i cannot find the way to contact google about this. the only way to speak with one of them is asking for google drive support, but they wont answer you because this is a chrome issue. and chrome has no phone or email support. any suggestion?

  • SL takes longer time to start up and shut down after "IceClean".

    Greetings,
    After "IceClean" (both maintenance and cleanup), SL seems (obviously) to take longer time to start up and shut down.
    Any idea why and how can I resolve it?
    Thank you so much.
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    I've finally able to solve the problem. The problem was due to start up item. There were 2 trial application (expired long ago) in the folder. After clearing the application, start up and shut down are fast as light.
    I think I've "awaken" the start up application after "IceClean" as IceClean has deleted their log file or something like that and therefore the applications have to run again.
    In order to be fair to IceClean, it is my fault to be blamed.
    Thanks again.
    Cheers

  • Database Connectivity takes long time if one of the Node is down .. ??

    Hello All,
    Env: 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10
    I have 2 nodes.
    When Node1 server is down, it takes long time to connec to the database.
    tnsping would give "OK(2050ms)". Below is the tnsalias.
    RAC_test  =
      (DESCRIPTION =
         (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.123)(PORT= 1521))
         (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.127)(PORT= 1521))
         (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
              (CONNECT_DATA =
            (SERVICE_NAME = DK.com)
          (FAILOVER_MODE =
            (TYPE = SELECT)
            (METHOD = BASIC)
            (RETRIES = 180)
            (DELAY = 5)
    )I put the trace on sqlnet.ora and found that first it pings to the "20.268.169.123",
    since the Server is down there will not be any reply and this consumes the delay and
    later it would ping "20.268.169.127" and connect to it.
    If i keep "20.268.169.127" above "20.268.169.123" in tnsalias, and keep "LOAD_BALANCE=no",
    it gets connected very fast, as its directly connecting to Node2. In tnsping i get Ok(40ms).
    How do i reduce the connect timing if i use the first step. Why does it take long time for
    Oracle Client to understand that the Node1 Server is down ?
    TIA,
    J J

    I hope the IP's you are using in the TNS are Virtual IP's.
    You must use Virtual IP's / hostnames for the failover to be quick. If Node 1 is not available then then it's (Node 1's) virtual IP would also get assigned to Node 2 hence all client connections are still able to get a response from the Node Virtual IP address without needing to wait for TCP/IP timeouts. This helps clients to get notified immediately that node 1 is unavailable and the connection tries the 2nd ip/host in the connect descriptor.
    Hope this helps.

  • Takes long time for shutdown after adding to domain

    Hi,
    Workstation OS - Window 7
    Domain Controller OS - Window server 2008 R2 standard
    Following thing i have measure with Stopwatch.
    1) When the laptop is in workgroup, it takes just 17 second for shutdown.
    2) when i added the same laptop in domain ( corp.abc.com ), now it takes 1minutes and 22 second for shutdown. ( it just show shutting down screen )
    Why the shutdown time increased so much?
    Do you have any idea?
    Note:- i have not make any changes in laptop, nor added any software. I have done the above testing because user start complaining that after putting laptop in domain it takes long time for shutdown. It's happening to all laptop where the OS is window 7
    There is no logoff scripts / gpo's as well as we don't have roaming profiles.
    Please advice.
