Shut down takes too long

There are some instances when I go shut down my Mac it goes to a blue screen with the spinning gear and I would have to hold the power button down for it to be completely shut down. It usually happens when I use my Mac for a long period of time. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Try starting up with the shift key held to go to "Safe Mode" (you should see a progress bar appear at boot). This will clear caches and run some maintenance scripts. When you log in, run a permissions fix on the boot drive using "Disk Utility", and then restart the computer.

  • Shut down takes too long on 10.9.5 after a drop

    Yesterday, I unfortunately tripped some stairs with my brand new MacBook Pro retina 2014 resulting in a scratch on the side near the HDMI port. The crash was not  severe. Except this my macbook seemed ok. Exactly after that I installed Os x 10.9.5. Everything works fine except the shutdown. Before I dropped it and updated startup and shutdown times where less than 3 seconds. Now shut down takes more than 10-12 seconds. Is the delay a software issue or my drive might have been damaged? it hasn't been 14 days since I bought it, so should I return it? I am not worried about the scratch so much but about the performance and future life of the disk. Please help people!

    Did you already use the disk utility program to check flash storage of your device?
    Since your MacBookPro is still under warranty, visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store to have it checked, just to be sure.
    I had to reset the SMC after the update to 10.9.5, the temperature has been higher than before the update and the shutdown also took longer.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    After that all things went back to normal again. But since you dropped it, I would recommend to get it checked.

  • Why does Mountain Lion take a long time to shut down my MacBook Air when I chose "Shut Down?"  Much longer than before the upgrade.

  • AME CS6 rendering with AE and Pr takes too long

    Hi Guys,
    Need some help here. i have rendered a 30 secs mp4 video with 1920 x 1080 HD format 25 frames w/o scripting in AME for 4 hours!
    Why does it take too long? I have rendered a 2 minute video with same format w/ scripting but only spare less than 30 minutes for rendering.
    Im using After Effects and Premium Pro both CS6 and using Dynamic Link in AME.
    What seems to be wrong in my current settings?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    This may be a waste of time, but it won't take a minute and is something you should always do whenever things go strangely wrong  ............ trash the preferences, assuming you haven't done it already.
    Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that only  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
    There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
    The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones  .  .  .  instantly.

  • Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

    Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy.  It is a Macbook Pro  osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

    Almost certainly none of the above!  Try each of the following in this order:
    Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
    Close down Safari;  move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
    Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
    Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:

  • Drill Through reports takes too long

    Hi all,
    I need some suggestions/help with our drill through reports. We are using Hyperion 11.1.1.3 and the cube is ASO.
    We have drill through reports set up in Essbase studio for drilling down from Essbase to Oracle database. It takes too long (like 30 mins for fetching 1000 records) and the query is simple.
    What are the changes that we can do to bring down this time. Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Hi Glenn,
    We tried optimizing the drill through SQL query but actually when we run the directly in TOAD it takes *23 secs* but when we do drill through on the same intersection
    it took more than 25 mins. Following is our query structure :
    (SELECT *
    FROM "Table A" cp_594
    INNER JOIN "Table B" cp_595 ON (cp_594.key = cp_595.key)
    WHERE (Upper(cp_595.*"Dim1"*) in (select Upper(CHILD) from (SELECT * FROM DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL') WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1 START WITH PARENT = $$Dim1$$ CONNECT BY PRIOR CHILD = PARENT UNION ALL select Upper(CHILD) from DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL' AND REPLACE('GL_'||CHILD, 'GL_IC_', 'IC_') = $$Dim1$$))
    And ----same for 5 more dimensions
    Can you suggest some improvement ? Please advice.
    Thanks

  • Shut down takes a looooonnnnnngggg time

    Ever since I installed the last 10.5.7 update my new Macbook and old (but Intel) iMac take a long time to shut down. Much longer than it used to. In fact, my Macbook seemed to be stuck in shut down last night and after a few minutes I finally just powered down.
    Is something going on here?
    Roger

    Boot verbosely - hold down ⌘v keys on boot.
    This will also cause a verbose shutdown which should show you exactly what is happening during shutdown.
    You can also inspect your console.app logs which will also indicate why the computer is not shutting down normally.

  • 11gR2:crsctl, srvctl commands takes too long to respond

    Hi,
    I have successfully configured *11gR2 two node RAC on ASM on Win 2008 64bit.*
    Everything work very well like connecting to database, querying database. Node restart also takes acceptable time to go down & restart the clusterware & database.
    But when I execute crsctl status resource -t or srvctl status database -d db_name commands from any node takes 10-15min to give output.
    They give output & everything completes successfully but takes too long to respond.
    The questions are:
    - If everything works fine then why crsctl, srvctl takes too long to respond?
    - what could be blocking these command to gather clusterware and database status on all nodes?
    - what additional info would be helpful that I can provide?

    I dont have this issue either. are you auto starting mpd?
    that time is how long it is up in other words you opened it then closed it at that time
    I'm not sure if you are referring to me or not, but in my screenshot I am timing the lag in ncmpcpp by pressing 'q' in the terminal during the delay, so it quits ncmpcpp immediately after the lag. The lag is longer for ncmpc because the interface loads before the program connects to mpd, so I have to stop it manually immediatly after it connects.
    WonderWoofy wrote:I don't have this problem... if you are starting it as a systemd user service, maybe there is relevant information in the journal.
    The journal did not reveal anything relevant sadly. I have now tried launching mpd without systemd, and the lag remains. I have also noticed that a small mpd programming project I am writing also experiences the same lag when it tries to connect to mpd.

  • Ipad 4th gen retina display takes too long downloading apps

    I have a Ipad 4th Gen ios 6.1.3. When i tap the app store icon it takes too long to show the info. The same occurs when i itry to install some apps. Comparing with a Asus Memo Pad 10 is slower what does not have to be. My network runs till 200mbps and the ipad has full power and full wi-fi connection.
    Is there a problem of comfiguration or other?.
    Thank you very much for the help.

    Have you tried this:
    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Accessing BKPF table takes too long

    Hi,
    Is there another way to have a faster and more optimized sql query that will access the table BKPF? Or other smaller tables that contain the same data?
    I'm using this:
       select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart
       into corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
       from bkpf
       where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
       and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
       and blart in so_DocTypes
       and monat in so_monat.
    The report is taking too long and is eating up a lot of resources.
    Any helpful advice is highly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi max,
    I also tried using BUDAT in the where clause of my sql statement, but even that takes too long.
        select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart monat
         appending corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
         from bkpf
         where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
         and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
         and blart in so_DocTypes
         and budat in so_budat.
    I also tried accessing the table per day, but it didn't worked too...
       while so_budat-low le so_budat-high.
         select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart monat
         appending corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
         from bkpf
         where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
         and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
         and blart in so_DocTypes
         and budat eq so_budat-low.
         so_budat-low = so_budat-low + 1.
       endwhile.
    I think our BKPF tables contains a very large set of data. Is there any other table besides BKPF where we could get all accounting document numbers in a given period?

  • OPM process execution process parameters takes too long time to complete

    PROCESS_PARAMETERS are inserted every 15 min. using gme_api_pub packages. some times it takes too long time to complete the batch ,ie completion of request. it takes about 5-6 hrs long time ,in other time s it takes only 15-20 mins.This happens at regular interval...if anybody can guide me I will be thankful to him/her..
    thanks in advance.
    regds,
    Shailesh

    Generally the slowest part of the process is in the extraction itself...
    Check in your source system and see how long the processes are taking, if there are delays, locks or dumps in the database... If your source is R/3 or ECC transactions like SM37, SM21, ST22 can help monitor this activity...
    Consider running less processes in parallel if you have too many and see some delays in jobs... Also indexing some of the tables in the source system to expedite the extraction, make sure there are no heavy processes or interfaces running in the source system at the same time you're trying to load... Check with your Basis guys for activity peaks and plan accordingly...
    In BW also check in your SM21 for database errors or delays...
    Just some ideas...

  • Web application deployment takes too long?

    Hi All,
    We have a wls 10.3.5 clustering environment with one admin server and two managered servers separately. When we try to deploy a sizable web application, it takes about 1 hour to finish. It seems that it takes too long to finish the deployment. Here is the output from one of two managerd server system log. Could anyone tell me it is normal or not? If not, how can I improve this?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi John,
    There may be some circumstances like when there are many files in the WEB-INF folder and JPS don't use TLD.
    I don't think a 1hour deployment is normal, it should be much more faster.
    Since you are using 10.3.5, I suggesto you to install the corresponding patch:
    1. Download patch 10118941p10118941_1035_Generic.zip
    2. Uncompress the file p10118941_1035_Generic.zip
    3. Copy the required files (patch-catalog_XXXXX.xml, CIRF.jar ) to the Patch Download Directory (typically, this folder is <WEBLOGIC_HOME>/utils/bsu/cache_dir).
    4. Rename the file patch-catalog_XXXXX.xml into patch-catalog.xml .
    5. Start Smart Update from <WEBLOGIC_HOME>/utils/bsu/bsu.sh .
    6. Select "Work Offline" mode.
    7. Go to File->Preferences, and select "Patch Download Directory".
    8. Click "Manage Patches" on the right panel.
    9. You will see the patch in the panel below (Downloaded Patches)
    10. Click "Apply button" of the downloaded patch to apply it to the target installation and follow the instructions on the screen.
    11. Add "-Dweblogic.jsp.ignoreTLDsProcessingInWebApp=true" to the Java options to ignore additional findTLDs cost.
    12. Restart servers.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • RPURMP00 program takes too long

    Hi Guys,
    Need some help on this one guys. Not getting any where with this issue.
    I am running RPURMP00 ( Program to  Create Third-Party Remittance Posting Run ) and while running it in test mode for 1 employee it takes too long .
    I ran this in background during off hours , but it takes 19,000 + sec to run and then cancels .
    The long text message is “No entry in table T51R6_FUNDINFO (Remittance detail table for all entities) for key 0002485844 “   and     “Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE”
