Mirror agent cancels shut down

Hi all.
On occassion when I try to shut down or restart my imac, i get a message that a mirror agent has cancelled the command. The only thing I can figure is that the mirror agent has something to do with my idisk. I signed up for the free idisk trial and am not using it at all. Is it safe to delete the idisk icon from my desktop and trash the mirror folder from my library?
Thanks

Daniel,
If the .mac syncing is indeed the problem, then try going to System Preferences>.Mac>iDisk and disabling syncing from there.
There are other ways to kill this process and I'm not sure if you have access to the controls w/o a subscription, but try it and if it fails report back.
Good Luck,
-j

Mirror Agent not shutting down - what is this?

Hello - Does anyone know what Mirror Agent is? In the last week when I try to shut down a time out pops up w/ - Mirror agent has failed to log out so the shut down is canceled. This is probably not the right forum but can anyone direct me to the correct forum? Thank you in advance. Tami

Mirror agent is the "sync" feature of iDisk.
A mirror is a "reflection" of the files your are trying to "sync".
You can turn synching off in the MobileMe System Preference pane / iDisk tab.

Mirror Agent prevents shut down

Since I recently reinstalled Tiger (after erasing the hard drive) I have had Mirror Agent prevent me from shutting down the computer.
First what does Mirror Agent do again?
Seems like it has something to do with syncing my idisk?
How can I set it so it does not block my shut downs?
This was not a problem before.

I have the same problem with shutdown and Mirror Agent.
I have followed several threads through, did you get a difinitive answer?
Finds include : Activity Monitor references and ejecting iDisc.
Cheers

SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself

Hello Gurus
A few SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself and this is happening
for systems which have a version 4.6c and 4.5B in our landscape like PCX.. Analyzing the log of one of this agents the
message below is informed:
Mon May 9 04:41:10 2011
CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: no permission to
read /usr/sap/PCX/SYS/profile/PCX_G34_zonepcx
CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: Please check sapccmsr.ini
I tried to find the profile mentioned in the warning but with no
succes. The cause of the shutdown of the agent is that because the
correct profile is PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx instead of PCX_G34_zonepcx but
why it is looking for the wrong one when everything is configured with
the profile PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx . I also checked sapccmsr.ini but
found nothing.
I can start the agent normally choosing the correct parameter
(PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx) but sometimes the agent shutdown by itself
after 3-4 days with the error message above.
Why the agent search for the wrong profile and where can I change it to
the right profile ?
Or is there any other way to resolve it.
Thanks and Regards
Ashwini

Thank you Mani, I will make this test in only one appl server and monitor.
I will let you know the resul of my tests.
Regards

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Close Safari before shutting down your computer. Also, go to Safari > Preferences > Extensions and update your extensions to the most recent version, and if it doesn't work, open Safari > Reset Safari

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.

MAC warning : "The [AIRapplicationname] canceled shut down"

"The [AIRapplicationname] canceled shut down", this is the
message I get when I try to shutdown/restart a Mac (OS X 10.4.11)
while my AIRapp is still running, which is kinda annoying...
Does anyone know what causes this message to popup and how to
solve it?
thanks! / katsu

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, select that application, and press the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can and use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

Ical cancels shut down

Shut down is cancelled or prevented by iCal. I close iCal. Before I can shut down, iCal reopens on it's own cancelling shut down. Only after several attempts of closing iCal am I able to shut down.

Hi ,
Thats happening to me as well.
Any ideas on it? You get it fixed?
Thanks Peter

Apple Mail cancels shut down?

This is getting old, my Apple Mail, cancels shut down everytime I close down my laptop, I am running Mavericks and
don't see any fixes on the horizon for the good folks at Apple, any suggestions on how to fix this flaw?

Use the Window menu in Mail to open the Connection Doctor window and the Activity Window to get full visibility to what Mail is doing.
I often find the problem is a simple operation that is being handled very, very slowly by my ISP Mail Server -- the problem is not on my Mac. For me, the solution has been to click on the stop sign in the Activity window so that Mail abandons its latest attempts to talk to a reluctant Mail server, and then it will shut down instantly.
Your anger at Apple over this issue may be misplaced.

Forced quit not working as setup application cancels shut down

I upgraded to OS X and setup froze when I was setting up cloud storage. When I try to force quit, the setup application automatically cancels shut down. Tried Command q to try to quit setup, but no success. Waiting for battery to die, but is there another way? Help!

Finally was able to bring up the task minder and force quit. Command-option-escape or some variation of escape-control-command-option.

PowerMac G4 (Mirror door drive) shuts down automatically when starting up.

I use a PowerMac G4 (Mirror door drive) 1.25 Ghz processor with1.25 GB ram, 80GB HDD. OS 10.2.7
Recently I could not start the machine as it automaticallyshuts down during starting when the log in dialog box appears. It also creates excessivesounds (hopefully from the processor fan) during starting up.
What is the possible cause for it? Upgrading the OS (10.5.8) could solve it? Or suggestions from exparts like you? Plz Help.

Thanks BDAqua. Sorry, no actionsworked. I think, the possible cause might be, the processor heats up more andthe fan start rotate more to cool down the processors and it makes the sound.But processor becomes hotter and the CPU automatically shuts down.
Apple service center in my townseparated, cleaned and reinstalled the processor & motherboard from thecase but NO IMPROVEMENT. They are trying to suggest (with confusion) changingthe processor. Do the diagnosis going right path? They do not have any G4 1.25 GHzprocessor, where will I get it? Anysuggestions from the experts of this forum?

Safari keeps canceling shut-down/restart.

Hi folks.
I can't shut down or restart because Safari keeps canceling it. Can't force quit Safari either. Any ideas that don't scare the bejeebus out of a non-techie?
Thanks!

12/10/13 Good morning Dominic. I've had my MacBook Pro for about 5 years and this is the first time that I absolutely could not shut down. Kept getting the message that Safari kept interrupting the shut down process. I tried everyting I could think of and nothing would allow the computer to shut down. Usually I can figure out how to deal with a problem, but I was getting no where on this one.
I followed your suggestion from 5/18/12 and in seconds that took care of it. I was able to shut down. I wish I understood what caused the problem to begin with...but, that may remain a mystery.
I am always amazed at the great information and help that can be found from the Apple Support Community. Thank you for your post!

Mail 7.3 cancels shut down

Every time I have gone to shut down my Mac Book Air that I just bought a month ago, it says Mail 7.3 is refusing the shut down. I have tried the force Quit twice and it still won't allow it. Earlier today I trashed two emails, it had an error rejected it and won't respond with any emails neither receiving or sending.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
