Shutdown Under Mtn. Lion Taking 5 Times Longer - Sys Log Included

I realize that there are a couple of other threads dealing with this issue, but they have veered off into directions that don't apply to my systems.  I'm posting a copy of my system log below--which looks pretty odd given what I'm experiencing.
Background:  I have two mid-2011 MacBook Airs...a 13-inch with a 256GB SSD and an 11-inch with a 128GB SSD.  The only difference in terms of installed software is that the 256GB model has more iTunes media files.  They are both running Mtn Lion 10.8.0 with all available updates.  Under Lion (all versions), my average shutdown time on both machines was  from 2-3 seconds.  Now, under Mtn. Lion, the shutdown time averages from 12 to 15 seconds.  It's really consistent in that 12 to 15 second range. 
When I decided to troubleshoot this issue, I figured it would be easy because I thought that the system log would clearly indicate what was taking the extra time.  However, I've posted the relevant part of my system log at the end of this message.  It shows no seconds of elapsed time during the shutdown--but, as indicated my my comments added to the log--the actual showdown time until the screen went black was about 14 seconds.
Based on comments in other threads, I tried deleting all of my launchdaemons but that didn't help.  Also, I don't have Parallels installed--which seemed to be implicated as a problem in other threads.
Does anyone have any ideas?  The system log is below.  Thanks.

Thanks; however, doing a SafeBoot was one of the first things I tried.  Also, I always SafeBoot after any type of system software install or update.
However, I may have solved my own problem.  In the log entry I posted, I was surprised to see references to several Canon backgrounder apps.  Then I remembered that I had installed some Canon print drivers/software for a high-end, networked, ImageRunner printer/scanner that is available to me in my work area at the college I work for.  Because of other hardware available to me, I've never used it as a printer or scanner.  Further, after checking on the Canon Web site, I realized that the software I installed was not the latest available.
I used FindAnyFile to locate all Canon ImageRunner drivers and software installed on my system and deleted it.  I then manually deleted all logs and caches and rebooted.  So far, my shutdowns are back in the 2-3 second range.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
This won't help others who are having a similar problem except that they might look for background apps being quit during the shutdown process and to make sure that whatever software they came from is Mtn. Lion compatible.

  • Numbers says to update but when App store opens under mtn lion says not updates needed.

    Numbers, Pages and Keynote all say I need an update when I open but none of them will activate the download. Now that mtn lion is installed it immediately open the store and checks. So Im thinking is Apple wanting us to repurchase to get this update so its store savvy? If not how do I update?

    In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have tihat needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window. This is a screenshot of my updates earlier today when I had the iWork update under Software Update & some Mac App Store-purchased apps that also needed updating.
    But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Why has exporting a film from Final Cut Express (FCE) HD (3.5) taking 30 times longer and file size increased by 30X?

    Exporting a 75 minute film from Final Cut Express (FCE) HD(3.5) through Quick Time Movie is now taking over an hour instead of the 2minutes it used to take.  The FCEMovie file is now 14 GB instead of the 1 GB it used to be.  In both cases Self Contained was notchecked when exporting.  I havetried trashing the Preference file to no avail.  There was a message when opening the FCE project that 140render files were offline.  Ichecked the box to forget them and also did a Render All Both and Render Only Mixdownbefore exporting.  I had thisproblem a few days ago and solved it by reinstalling FCE.  However after two days the problem hascome back.  As far as I know I didnot change anything in FCE or the system when the export times and file sizeincreased.

    I think you are correct about the longer version being a self-contained movie except that I did not check that option when exporting.  However, I have opened another project of the same size and that one can be exported in the usual time, the problem must reside with the particular project.  A clue is that to regain some disk space I deleted the render folder for several projects including the one I am having trouble with.  Also when iI opened that project I got a message that files were disconnected and I think they were render files.  I did re-render before exporting and that is when the file length increased by a factor of 13, even though it was not supposed to be self-contained.  FCE is working OK with other projects when I export them.  I am still puzzled.

  • What is the folder hierarchy in iTunes under Mtn Lion?

    I'm especially interested to find out whether all the different types of media (movies, music, books, podcasts, etc.) are supposed to be in the iTunes Media folder.  Some of mine are in the Music folder and some are outside it.  I even have a folder for Movies and another for Home Movies.
    Exactly where in the folder hierarchy inside the iTunes folder inside Music are all these types of folders supposed to be?

    Hi elfpix,
    Sounds like you have some questions about iTunes folder organization. I have an article that should be able to explains some of the details of iTunes file organization to you, as well as help you find some files you are looking for:

  • IStat Pro location (not in widgets) under Mountain Lion?

    I like and use iStat Pro.  Under Mountain Lion the Processes no longer show up.
    I contacted Bjango for support and they sent me an email stating that they are discontinuing iStat Pro.
    I found a simple fix at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=15332289&postcount=20
    My problem is that I cannot locate the code to change.  My Macintosh HD/Library/Widgets has no istat pro.  I tried Spotlight and the only istat pro that shows is the download istat_pro_4.92.zip.  Is my spotlight broken? thx

    Every User has and has always had a Library folder. When Lion came out, Apple decided to have it hidden because some very important files are in there and if you don't know what you are doing, you could really mess things up. If someone directs you to "/Library" or "/Macintosh HD/Library" they mean the (not hidden) system library folder. If they say "~/Library" they mean the hidden User Library folder.
    Not sure how to make spotlight search the hidden folder. You can unhide it permanently by entering this command into terminal:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    After you do this, the Library folder will appear in your home folder.

  • Reinstalling an XP partition under Mountain Lion

    I am running Mountain Lion and want to create a Bootcamp partition for XP.  I had this working well as a legacy ever since I ran Leopard, but I now need to reinstall Windows.  Since I upgraded to Mtn Lion, I only have Bootcamp 5, which is useless to me as XP is not supported. Can I get hold of/run Bootcamp 2.2 under Mtn Lion?

    Thank you, but I had XP running nicely under Mtn Lion up until I had a problem this morning.  I do have a workaround, but it involves re-installing Leopard from scratch, creating a b/c partition, installing xp, then upgrading to Mtn Lion again.  And recovering all my files from backup.  I was hoping for a less labour-intensive solution!

  • Why might extracted Snow Leopard MacBookPro drive no longer boot under IMAC Lion?

    I'm hoping someone can give a  likely explanation for the following sequence of events, and also recommend some next steps.  I've been backing up, using Time Machine on a partitioned drive, my 2008 IMAC with Lion and my 2008 MacBookPro with Snow Leopard.  Being out of town for the last 3 months, MBP backups were not possible and Murphy's law kicked in as the MBP refused to boot, no chime and black screen.  Tried all the discussion group suggestions and then returned home to visit the Apple store.
    1. Apple store said it was my logic board and repair would be $310, but if the hard drive was a problem Apple Repair would just swap it out.  Apple store would do backup of the drive before sending it for repair if I provided an empty drive.
    2.  As I didn't have a spare drive, I  purchased an OWC USB 3.0 enclosure kit  and inserted the drive from the MBP.
    3.  Plugging into the running IMAC, it came up and everything looked good.  TIme Machine recognize the new drive and included it in its list of devices to NOT backup.
    4.  I decided to see if I could boot the IMAC from this MBP drive by doing a restart with the option key held.  It gave me the choice and it worked.  Everything looked good and I was able to update my mail and to print.  I decided to have Time Machine do a backup and included the IMAC internal drive in the list of devices NOT to backup.  Time Machine warned that this MBP was a new computer and that i'd not be able to go back, which concerned me as the whole purpose is to be able to move to a new system if necessary.  I did a backup anyway and it copied about 25 GB of some 158 GB so it must have been an update.  Everything looked good.
    5.  I then did a restart and came up under Lion.  However the MBP drive was no longer visible on the desktop, but the system recognized that the OWC MBP drive was USB connected.  This was a concern.
    6.  I did a shut down of the IMAC and removed the MBP drive.  Rebooted IMAC and then inserted USB MBP drive.  It came up this time. Its contents looked good.
    7.  I then did a restart with the option key held.  It gave me the choice to boot from the MBP drive as before and I took it.  However it hung with a gray screen, circle with slash, and spinning wheel.  No activity from the MBP so I forced IMAC shutdown and removed the MBP drive.
    8.   Booted the IMAC, but can not get the MBP drive to appear on the desktop although it is recognized as a USB device.  No activity from the MBP drive as indicated by no flashing of its light.
    I'm mystified as to what has happened.  Have I corrupted the MBP drive, or is it likely a hardware failure?  I'm thinking about a new computer, but was staying with Snow Leopard as it was only way to keep my scanner working.  It was momentarily convenient to be able to boot into Snow Leopard and to work as usual.  What can I do with my TIme Machine backup of the MBP if the MBP drive is corrupted?  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Pete, but it doesn't solve my problem.
    Apple does something to the recovery partition to make it invisible. When I was trying to setup my 16GB USB stick drive as a "Recoverable Partition", since I don't have one on my main Lion drive, it made it invisible also. But during the process it failed to finish but has left my USB drive invisible under Lion and nothing that I've tried has been able to undue that. (See Above). What is it that I need to do to get my USB Flash drive visible again under Lion. It is visible under Snow Leopard and it is visible under the lion install utitlties (I made a installer DVD from original internet downloaded Lion installer) but not under disk utilities on lion or the lion desktop! I've reformated under both the above(Snow Leopard & Installer utilities) were I had access to the USB Drive but that didn't undue whatever Apple does to make the recovery partition and my USB Drive invisible because once I boot back into Lion, it's still not there! So the $64,000 question is how do I get my USB Flash drive visible again under Lion?
    Hope this help you to understand my situration.

  • Since downloading Mtn.Lion my epson printer doesn't work correctly & the entire system seems to be slower plus my iMac now disconnects from my wifi every time the mac sleeps. Can anyone help me with these issues?

    I am having problems with my Imac (approx 1 yr old) every since I downloaded (from the App.Store) Mountain Lion.  I am a working mom with 3 toddlers.....I have very little time to work on the computer which I primarily use for photograhpy needs.  I am not computer savvy enough to figure out how to "fix" the new issues/problems and am frustrated.  I am hoping someone can help me........
    Issues just since downloading Mountain Lion:
    1)  My Epson R2400 printer is not printing properly.  It wouldnt print at all from CS5 the first 2 days.  Then just started printing.  The prints aren't nearly as good as they used to be.  I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 and have been able to print but the prints are just awful. I printed a test page and it was perfect.  I've triple checked the settings in the print dialogue box to ensure the correct paper is chosen, etc.  I've never let the printer manage the color before but it is the only option that gives a mediocre print at best.
         I've gone to Epson.com.   It says to update driver through Apple for Mtn. Lion.  According to my computer I have no updates.  Printer is connected via USB. Changed the ports, turned printer on & off.  Emailed epson & they said to reset the print queue, which I did.  Restarted the IMac Still no luck.  (The error message I got when trying to print from CS5 is "filter failed." But, as stated before it just started printing today as I was typing this.      
          I print out pics quite a bit and it seems the only time I have ever had problems is when I upgraded the OSX system. Why is that??  When I upgraded to 10.7 is when I first realized my print quality went down.
    2)  Now every time I "wake" up my computer it has become offline and has to go through the steps to reconnect to my wifi.  Never did that before Mtn.Lion.  I purchased the Airport Extreme Dec 2011.  My computer was always connected before the update.  Now I have to scroll down & pick my network & wait for it to connect before proceeding.   I double checked preferences and it is set up to check for updates automatically.  What is that about??
    3)  It just seems that my system overall is slower.  I love my mac but I am frustrated because I don't have the free time needed to do all this problem solving.  I just need it to work properly when I have a few minutes to work on a picture.  I imagine there are other issues, but these are the only  2 areas I've focused on since the upgrade.
    I've read different views/feedback on Mtn Lion but haven't come across the printer issue or the wifi connection issue.
    Can anyone direct me towards a solution? I really appreciate it!
    T

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • I can no longer attach a PDF to Outlook email in Mavericks OSX even though I have Mac Outlook selected as my email client. (It worked under Mountain Lion)

    I used to have a problem with Acrobat Pro X not recognizing Mac Outlook as my email client when using the 'SHARE' function under Acrobat Pro X . Then it was fixed and worked most of the time, although I occasionally had to go back and select Outlook as my default email in Preferences. However, I recently upgraded from Mac OSX Mtn Lion to Mavericks, and now it does't work AGAIN. It hangs up my Acrobat, Causing a Force Quit every time I try this! Very frustrating. I know I can just attach it to an email from my desktop, but it would be nice if the "Attach to Email" function in Acrobat actually worked. BTW, I am using Acrobat Pro X 10.1.10.

    I, too am wondering if it's the download site. I am not aware of any way to download Outlook Mac 2011 alone from any site including Microsoft's.
    It is common for unscrupulous sites to offer desirable but pirated software for a modest price, but serve it up with a dose malware. They get you money, possible a credit card number, your e-mail, your IP address, and all you get is pain.
    There was an "Outlook Express" for Mac that was freely distrubuted but I'll pretty sure that it never ran natively under OSX. The first OSX native version fo Office:Mac was Office X, and it introduced Entourage as the Mac mail client.
    IF Fast Hosts is your ISP, I'd certainly talk to them to figure out what you downloaded.

  • Deleting a user account - taking a very long time

    I chose to delete a new user account that came over as part of a migration from my old MBP to a new MBP.  It was a firly large account but it is taking way longer than the time it took to migrate over.  There is no progress bar or time estimate so it's hard to know what's going on.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Notebook Taking a very long time to power off

    Hi All,
    My notebook (HP ENVY 17-j005tx Notebook) when shutting down only takes a couple of seconds, however it can take upto 5 minutes to power off...
    At first i thought some service or program was taking a long time to shutdown, I installed Windows 8.1 SDK Performance Toolkit to try and identify a culprit; ran the command "xbootmgr -trace shutdown -traceFlags BASE+DIAG+LATENCY -noPrepReboot" and succeffully generated trace file.
    I noticed the notbook had rebooted in just a few seconds..
    Anyhow I proceeded to analyse the trace file using the wpa.exe program anf could not find any program or service taking much time to shutdown!!!
    SO I understand now the Windows OS is shutting down nicely though the Notebook is taking a very long time to power off.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  I do have NVIDIA Driver 337.88 installed and did find another thread here where they suspected this driver version has not been tested by HP and after they applied it their notebook shutdown slower than usual - is this somehting maybe to look at...
    I'm currently downoading sp63414.exe NVIDIA driver for my notebook - should I uninstall my current driver and apply HP's?

    Thanks visruth,..
    What I tried is run "msconfig" and boot into "safe mode", rebooted then shutdown, shutdown was back to normal again.
    So then reran "msconfig" disabled all non-Microsoft Services, shutdown and again all powered off as normal (quickly after shutdown).
    So rebooted and re-enabled all services again using "msconfig".  THen disabled the following services, choosing these specifically as I'm not so sure why they should be running and some not know what they are used for...
    rebooted and then shutdown and all shutdown and power off was normal...
    It seems one of these services is causing the power off to take several minutes....
    I suspect the bluetooth services, or the GSService, or IconMan_R, or possibly the Netgear Genie...
    Funny enough I did uninstall netgear genie a few weeks ago and see for some unknown reason the Service is still there???? Hmm...

  • Discoverer report is taking a very long time

    Hi All,
    I need help on below discoverer issue.
    discoverer report is taking a very long time for rows to be retrieved on export when it is run for India and it is required for month end. For some reason only 250 rows are retrieved at a time and retrieval is slow so it is taking 10 minutes to bring back 10,000 rows.
    Regards
    Kumar

    Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS along with the discoverer version.
