Can anyone explain me what it was?

Why would you want a start button to stop something?
Seriously, I would not routinely shut down your Mac. It is not necessary. Just set it to sleep in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
When you are not using it, just walk away. Things will work better that way. Most of my Macs don't get shut down except while restarting them for software updates. This might be once every couple of months.

  • How do you Shut Down your Mac?

    I just converted from Windows to Mac yesterday and today I'm trying to shut down my Mac, but there's no Start button! How can I get my Start Button back?

  • HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac

    how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
    because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop picture

    Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
    However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

  • Shut Down bug reproducable - Macbook appears to shut down when it doesn't

    So, I've run into this issue 4x now, and it's the same every single time.
    The bug - when you shut down your Macbook, everything appears shutdown, but in reality it's not, your batteries get drained, and a bad day at work ensues.
    How to reproduce the bug.
    First - have your macbook running normally.
    Connect your external monitor, USB Keyboard, and USB devices.. etc.
    Close your Macbook lid to force it to sleep
    Turn on your macbook using your external keyboard.
    This will allow your external monitor to become the primary screen for your mac - While your macbook stays closed and acts as a desktop.
    Now through software methods go and select Shut Down.
    The macbook will shut down everything and will appear shut down.
    The light will stay on however. So if you open the lid, the macbook won't turn on. Once you close the lid, the light will go away. At this point it time, it really does appear as though the macbook is shut down. But it's not!
    And you find this out the morning after you wake up.
    -- To get around the issue, you essentially just turn your Macbook back on and shut down again. But it's rather annoying when you're in a rush.

    I've been having the same problem - and its not just with the Macbook. I've found several times that I'll go to shutdown my Macbook and the finder, dock, menubar will all vanish - as for shut down - only I'll be left with the wallpaper and spinning sticks. I've left the system for several minutes (5-10) and it still won't shut down so I have to force it to shutdown with the power button. I had exactly the same issue with my 2007 silver iMac the other day. I've also found that my Macbook will appear to shut down and not have done so it drains the battery. I've reset the PRAM on the iMac and still get the issue. Haven't tried with the Macbook I must confess.
    I have a local version of iDisk on my desktop and often find they refuse to shutdown even after I've cancelled a sync. I wonder if the problem may lie there?

  • Esata card shutting down my mac

    I have a situation with a new esata card. I have been having FE problems with a Presonus Firestudio Mobile not syncing because it is on the same FW bus as a Lacie Quatro 2D.
    It was suggested I get an esata card and I bought the newer technologie MAX power esata 6GB PCIe 2.0.
    I put the esata card in slot number #2 or the 16x of my mac pro. It worked for about 5 minutes then my mac kept shutting down. No matter what I did the mac shut down. There shouldn't be a problem here. I had to take the card out and everything works normally now (no power shutdown)
    Do I have the card in the wrong slot. Should it be in 3 or 4?
    My drive is powered by a wall wart and presonus is FW powered. The card is esata 6.0 and my lacie is esata 3.0.
    Any ideas?

    a card working properly shouldn't shut down your mac. Unless it's drawing too much power.
    isolate your system by not using the FW devices.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 reset SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 reset NVRAM
    try the computer with the card; but not the esata drive; see if you still have the issue.
    if you do still have the issue. I'd talk to the place of sell about return exchange or talk to the manufacture about warranty service.
    if you don't. try testing the esata card with another esata hard drive. (that is if you have one) again see if you have the issue.

    Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
    You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
    Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something

    I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
    The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter.  You can try the following:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.

  • Shutting down my Mac Pro Retina properly?

    When I shut down my Mac Pro, I close all apps except the Finder. I've noticed that sometimes when I start up again, the Apple logo and the loading bar don't appear, and when I go into the desktop, the Finder is still open on the folder it was on before I shut it down the last time. But there's still the normal start up sound. I think this is because when I see the screen go black, I close the laptop screen straight away, and it hasn't truly finished shutting down yet. I've been trying to wait for a minute before closing the lid after the screen goes black, and it's been working: the next time I start up my Mac the Apple logo and loading bar appears as usual, and when I get on to the desktop, the Finder isn't open on anything.
    My question is, is it really bad for the Mac if I close the lid before it properly shuts down, and I leave it in a kind of limbo state before I start it up next time? Because sometimes I'm in a hurry and I don't have time to wait a minute before closing the lid.

    Hello animefan4eva,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you were trying to shut down the computer but closed the lid befor it finished. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    If you close the display on a MacBook Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, PowerBook, or iBook while it is shutting down, the computer may not shut down properly. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Hi hello
    Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 % ?
    Thanks for your reply

    You can create a mailing list by using the "Groups" feature of Address Book. Simply select "New Group" from the File menu. Name the group, and drag the contacts you need into the group.
    In Mail, open up Preferences (under the Mail menu), and click on "Composing". Then make sure that "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is unchecked.
    The auto reply is a feature that is better done on your mail server, as you Mac can only send an auto reply when it is on, with the Mail application open. If you use dot Mac, you can set up a vacation responder through the web, and you can leave your computer switched off.
    If you really want to leave your Mac on when you are on holiday, you can set up a mail rule (Preferences, Rules).
