My macbook freezes when trying to shut it down..

I own a macbook with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) operating system.  The problem with my macbook is that when i shut it down freezes before it turns off. In order to fix the problem i repaired th disk permissions and i reinstalled the operating system but the same thing happens all the time.  If anyone has an answer about my issue please let me know what the problem.
Thank you in advance.

Reinstalling is not the only way.  But as you mentioned that you had reinstalled, I just wanted to confirm if it was a clean installation or if you had installed over your previous installation.  If it was a clean install and you still had the problem, we would be able to rule out any third party applications causing the problem.  Now we'll just need to track down the application which is preventing your system from shutting down.
How long has this been happening?  If it started recently, do you recall installing any applications shortly before you experienced the problem?
You can check the system logs and see if any of your applications appear to be causing a problem at shutdown.  You can go into your Applications / Utilities folder and launch the Console application.  In particular, check out the System and CrashReporter logs.

  • Creative Zen Vision 30Gb Stuck in Recovery Mode, Freezes when trying to deal with Firmware

    My Zen Vision is stuck in Recovery Mode. The PC recognizes it but it comes up as 50mb Storage Media. When you touch Reload Firmware or Format All, it freezes and you have to pull the battery out to shut it off. I don't know what to do. Charges fine, never said anything about HARDWARE issues, just can't get it to not freeze when trying to load firmware back onto it.

    I did the same thing, my unit was working perfectly.
    I just read that these players have a laptop 2.5 hard dri've installed in the unit. If this is true, the next chance I get, I will take my unit apart (40 gig nomad zen xtra) and see if I can reinstall the firmware directly. It's probably what they do at the repair sho

  • Apple Mail 10.5.2 freezes when trying to IMAP sync Apple To Do Items folder

    Hi - my Apple Mail freezes when trying to IMAP sync Apple To Do Items folder. This only started after Leopard 10.5.2.
    A copy of my console log is shown below. Looks like there is some calendar with a nil UID -- and the program has a bug that it can't handle this.
    Does anyone now how I get rid a nil UID (either an empty folder or an item with a null UID) to workaround this bug?

    It looks as if you've the problem discussed in this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0 (and other) threads.
    Basically the soldering on your GPU is defective and the GPU probably needs to be reballed: if you take it to Apple they will just want to replace the logic board. If you're still under AppleCare, or if they will replace it gratis, that may fix your problem temporarily. A reball may also be temporary, but it's less expensive and there are repair centers that offer up to a one-year warranty: much better than Apple's 90-day warranty.
    Have a look at the thread above: no need to read it all - just give it a glance and leave a message there if you wish.
    Good luck,

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

    iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.

  • Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

    Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
    I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
    This happens with v3 and v4.
    IE works fine.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

  • TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

    Please help!
    My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
    This also happens in safe mode
    My driver is up to date

    We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
    It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
    Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

  • Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

    I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

    I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok.  Look for something else.
    I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
    On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
    If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders.  You can find it by searching for:
    AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
    Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths.  The paths will contain
    or
    instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
    It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups. 
    Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.

  • My Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.

    AMy Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.> Hi. Was hoping someone could help me. I brought a creative zen x-fi and half of the times i tried to delete a track or album it would freeze, i'd reset it and the track or album was not deleted. I sent it back and brought a new one however my new one does the same except more, about 8 out of 0 times when i try to delete a track or album it freezes. It doesn't seem to have any problems deleting anything else e.g photos, videos. I looked on the support section of the site and it mentioned that the player could keep freezing if there were corrupted files. Pleae could someone tell me what exactly this mean? (i'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to things like this ) All the music on my player is from ripped cds or what was already on the laptop or player to begin with, so could there be any corrupted files from those?

    Nvm,the cleanup works Thanks man
