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.
hello to the mac world
@sunra
same problem here on my mini mac, intel solo core, happens 3 times in one week now.
it seems that my mini ignores shutdown, restart and log out.
when I terminate the task "login window" then he jumps to the login screen, where I can shutdown or change the user.
anyone an idea about this little problem?
okay, it is not a big problem and with this problem I feel already home now...yes, I used windows the last years
greetings

ps: please excuse my bad english!

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?
800 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.5 GB SDRAMHard 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. 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 2009 won't shut down and others....
My hard disk crashed down, I changed it and re-installed from Time Machine. Now my mini won't shut down (among other things) just restart. I think, I broke something inside, because I can't re-install from App Store (unfit check sum). Here is the fault log, any help?

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?

Mini Server won't shut down/won't start up until power is pulled
I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a Mac Mini Server 2.6 GHz Intel Core I7 / 16 GB ram. I have been having issues shutting down my Mac. I start the shut down process but it gets to a gray screen/beach ball and will sit there forever until you hold the power button down. I tried shut down again with all external drives disconnected and get no change.
Also, if I leave Mac on sometimes I can login normally and sometimes I find out that it has actually shut down completely by itself. It is not sleeping. I can't seem to turn it on unless I pull power cable.
I have checked temp of unit and it appears to have plenty of ventilation felling only slightly warm to touch. My keyboard is wired and I have a Bluetooth touch pad.
I re-installed the latest "Mavericks" just to make sure but no change. Seems like the shut down issue may have started 1st before I upgraded. When I do get Mac to start back up everything seems normal, no errors. The only thing barking is Google Chrome stating that I can start where I left off. I have not caught it shutting down so I thought it had something to do with the Energy Saving settings but it is at the "Default" setting.
The Mac is definately off and not sleeping, no light on front.
Any tips or help would be appreciated.
Thanks
-ZOK, I tried setting Energy Savings to 1 minute. The Mac shut down and would not power back up via the power button, had to pull power plug. So it seems to be tied to the Energy settings.

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.

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.

Mini Mac unable to shut down or log out properly
After logging out of username, screen does not go back to the various users screen. Thought that by skipping the logout, I do a Shut Down (which some times I do this shortcut). It does not shut down. Only command it activates is Sleep. What steps do I need to do?
I would start troubleshooting by starting in safe mode and then doing a permissions repair.
do a web search on 'mac permissions repair' to find out how.
follow that process after you startup with the SHIFT key held down. you'll see a message that says you're in safe mode/safe boot.
then restart.
If that doesn't resolve it...
Create another user account, if you don't already have another. (You do this in accounts control panel in system preferences.)
login to that other account and then logout.
if that works, then the problem is with your user ID only.
if the problem persists, you have a global computer problem. -
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 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!Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??
Cheers, Chris. -
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 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!
Message was edited by: beardieblokeStill 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... -
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 appreciatedCBuss,
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

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,
RobertVery 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.
