MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion.

MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion. I tried installing the latest update but since it will not restart the update will not work.

Everything works except it will not shut down or restart so I can't update it.
I run the Adobe master creative suite collection, Microsoft office and countless other software products without a hitch.
After I click on update software then download the apple update for lion it says I have to restart the computer to finnish the install.

Acer-ICONIA-W3-810 will not shut off or sleep after installing Windows 10

It won’t sleep. The screen goes black but it’s not actually off as it’s actually still dimly lit (dark grey). Pressing the power button does the same thing. Therefore the battery dies quickly. It’s too bad because otherwise, W10 is pretty snappy on the device.

Solved it. When I update sto Windows 10, in device manager, it showed Basic display adapter. I downloaded the driver package from Acer and that fixed it. Now I see Intel display adapter and sleeop is working again.

Itouch has frozen mid-update and will not shut off or restart

My 5th generation iTouch has recently begun downloading the newest iOS update. The update did not complete (thus a restart has yet to occur); however, I am unable to even power off the device (held the power button in excess of one minute without it shutting off the device). I just downloaded the ITunes 12 update, but have some tasks to complete before restarting my computer (to allow for a possible recovery restart). Also, when plugging in the iTouch to the computer, the device isn't recognized or accessible.
How can I restart the device without using a recovery option?
Thank you in advance for your much appreciated attention and support provided by the community.

- Try letting the battery fully drain and then charge and try a reset
Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try connecting to iTunes and try making a backup.
- Last restore the iPod using Recovery mode if necessary.

MacBook will not Shut Down or Restart

My MacBook will not shut down or restart from the apple menu, nor from any other dialog box that pops up, after an update, for instance. The only way I can turn it off/restart is by using the power button. I have tried archiving and installing OS X, but I am still having this problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi Henry,

Second, make sure you have all your updates. Click the Apple logo in the Menu then click Software Updates.
Reset PRAM by holding option-command-P-R keys down during startup until you hear the chime at least three or four times.
Resetting the PRAM is a standard procedure for the problem you are experiencing.
Also, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. DU is located here:
Applications/Utilities. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU and reboot.
If you need further assistance, please post back.

My ipod touch will not shut off. lock up

My ipod touch will not shut off. It is just a black screen with the time dial turning. It does not do anything. How can I get it to do something?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IMac will not shut down or restart using the apple menu

I have an iMac running 10.7.3 that will not shut down or restart using the apple menu. The only way to get this machine to shut down is to hold down the on/off button on the back of the computer. This has been a problem for quite some time and may have started with Lion, but I’m not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Hi...
Before you shut down, make sure you "quit" all open applications. Applications are running if you see the small blue reflection under the app's name in your Dock.
If necessary, you can force quit apps... several ways to do this. One, from your Apple menu > Force Quit or using the Activity Monitor located in /Applications/Utilities.
If it's not a question of open applications, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Ipod Classic will not shut off

Ipod classic will not shut off. Have held menu/select until apple logo appears, no change

Menu/Select is to reset the device, not turn it off. You need to press and hold the Play/Pause button until the display turns off. Then activate the hold switch.
