Pro doesn't shut down- stuck on spinning wheel

If anybody can give advice, on what I should do at this moment. Later today i have an appointment with one to one training at Apple Store, but right now, I am trying to shut down my Pro. for some reason, it won't shut down. it is stuck on the spinning wheel. Any ideas? Should I do a force quit on it by holding down on the power button until it shuts down? Should I let it stay the way it is until my appointment? (which is another 3 hours from this moment)

There is an option under the Apple icon that is called Force Quit. That will force most programs to quit....do all except Finder.
I had the same problem until I figured out that most programs have to be shut down before the system can turn off.
Hope that is kind of clear. I am not an expert but learned that trick from an Apple Care agent.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't shut down after update

    After downloading the update for Safari 5.1.2, I restarted my computer to finish the installation but it stayed stuck on a grey screen with the software update bar on top. Now I can't shut down my computer. Everytime I shut it down I'm brought back to the same grey screen and nothing other than the power button will shut my macbook down.
    I'm running Lion on a Macbook pro 2.4 GHz

    How long are you waiting? I've waited as long as 3-minutes in Leopard already. I was about ready to force shutdown, but then all of a sudden, it shut down.
    If yo don't reboot that often, you may have a bunch of virtual memory swap files it's unloading. Try shutting down right after a reboot and see what happens.

  • Mac pro doesn't shut down

    My mac does not shut down. I always need to hold teh start button in for five seconds to force it to shut down.
    If I connect my ipda mini and iphot automatically comes up then iphoto hanges up and can't be shutdown uless I force quit it an dthen it whacks out the finder an dI have to force the machine to shut down.
    I did teh oram zap thing and it seem to help temporarily but the problems reoccur. IS there a utlity of software package I can run?
    Larry

    I agree.
    So, just so I have a game plan.
    Option 1.
    External Drive:
    Buy an external drive and do a clean install on that drive and migrate the apps etc on to that drive from the bad drive?
    Option 2 Internal Drive:
    1. Swap out the time machine drive for the new internal drive
    2. Migrate the files apps etc. from bad system drive
    3. Replace teh bad drive with the time machine drive and reset time machine
    Option 3 two new drives
    1. Swap out the time machine drive for the new internal drive
    2. Migrate the files apps etc. from bad system drive
    3. And repalce the time machine one with an external drive and do fresh time machine start.
    Basically option 3 leaves me with a new internal disk and a new external disk as the time machine disk
    I would like to keep my system drive internal. Doesn't this make for better speed?
    What sounds good to you, or your option?

  • MacBook Pro doesn't shut down

    My MBP won't shut down.
    If I select Shut Down from the menu it goes through the motions and then gets to a screen and just hangs there. The spinning icon sits in the middle and spins and spins and spins. The only way to shut it down is by holding down the power key. Any suggestions? (BTW - I have no problems with choosing restart).
    Thanks,
    Daniel

  • Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?

    my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..

    Hi Monroeeugene,
    I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
    Mac Basics: Set your preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
    Change your Mac's sleep settings
    To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
    Open System Preferences
    Choose View > Energy Saver.
    Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
    Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
    Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
    Hope this helps ...
    - Judy

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down properly

    MacBook Pro will not shut down properly. Gray screen appears with spinning gear but will not shut down completely.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    If you have an optical drive, make sure there is no disc in it.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or shutdown failure, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart under Lion.

    After installing Lion, my i5 Macbook Pro will not shut down or restart. The shutdown starts and then hag=ngs with a grey screen and a spinning process indicator. Thoughts?

    Mine too. Restart and shutdown do longer works. Have to hard crash it each time.
    Called Apple, they have no clue.
    Buy a PC. At least Microsoft admit problems and offer solutions.

    You can try running these tests.
    Apple Hardware Test doesn't catch everything, so even if it doesn't find a problem, you could have one.

  • As soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down

    Linc,
    You keep showing up when I search for this problem so I hope you can help.
    I'm having the same issue in Premiere and Media Encoder (but not After Effects). My Mac just restarts itself as soon as video is loaded. I can start Premiere and open a project and go through relinking media, but as soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down.
    I've fixed the problem temporarily two times. The first time I was troubleshooting what was wrong and wound up putting in my old video card and after that fixed the problem, I switched back to my GTX 680. I also did a driver update. After doing that I was ok for a few days so I figured it was a driver thing or maybe the card just needed to be reseated. Then when it started acting up again I figured something was going on.
    So I started searching again and came across one of your posts that recommended removing CUDA. I did that and it worked perfectly for a week until about 20 minutes ago. Crashed in the middle of an edit and now each time I restart Premiere it crashes as soon as video touches my monitors.
    I found this post because I specifically searched for "com.nvidia.web.NVDAResmanWeb(8.2.7)" from my Problem Report.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Darren

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the shortened log. Here's the full thing. By the way, where do you learn to read these things? Are there keywords like "error" that you just learn to look for or is it something for in depth?

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

    HELP!!!
    Here are the specs of my machine:
    2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
    4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
    For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
    I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
    Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
    Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
    Thank you everyone!!

    I have this question too.

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down

    A principal at my district has a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2008 (2.4/2X1GB/200-5400/256VRAM/AG) running OS 10.5.8 that will not shut down. When shut down is chosen, the computer restarts instead of shutting down. It does not matter how shut down is chosen, whether it is from pull down menu, keyboard command, click on shutdown in the login menu, etc. I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, starting up from a known good system, and run diagnostics applications (which turn up no problems). The only way to get the machine to tunr off is hold the power button down until it shuts off.
    The user complains it also gets very hot when he leaves it sitting open in sleep mode. I have not observed that particular symptom. It also tend to run down the battery faster than it should (battery check shows it to have 80+% of it's original capacity.) But Activity Monitor does not show any unusual activity.
    Any suggestions what I can try next to figure this thing out?
    Thanks.

    On occassion (like tonight) my MacBook Pro will not
    shut down - even when I attempt to force quit. Any
    suggestions?
    Happens here too, but very rarely. In my case it mostly happens late at night when OS X is supposed to run some internal maintenance jobs, maybe some of them do not allow a shutdown?
    Does holding the power button down for approx. 10 seconds work? If yes, then I would not worry about it. If no, there is something seriously odd and I would report it to AppleCare.
    Cheers,
    Uwe

  • After using iTunes my Mac doesn't shut down!

    My MacBookPro doesn't shut down after using iTunes. I have try anything and the apple support can't also help me.
    I can only stop my Mac with the power button. If I don't use iTunes I have no problems to shut down the Mac.
    Have anybody a similar problem and can help me? Thanks

    It's so curious...
    I found something at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17590111#17590111
    I'm not sure whether this issue caused by Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist.
