The restart, log off, and shut down icons have quit responding​.

I have a HP desktoop computer model sw5705f. It is not allowing me to restart, log off ,or shut down by clicking on them proper icon.  The only way I can shut down is to manually turn off the tower. What could have happened and how do I solve the3m problem?

 How long (days) have you hade this problem? Have you tried a restore point prior to that date?

  • Sometimes the function keys stop working (can't adjust volume, screen brightness, keyboard backlighting), and at the same time I'm unable to restart, log off, or shut down in any way.

    It's quite inexplicable, as I'm not able to access some system functions — I can't even open the force quit dialog to see if something has crashed. I can't open my Mac information (via "About this Mac"), but I can open System Preferences. Maybe all these functions share a common underlying process, I don't know.
    I haven't found a way to fix this other than to hard restart the MacBook Pro by holding down the power button. I don't like doing that! I wish there was a workaround. Anyone have an idea?

    This entire thing is a hair over four months old, I don't think it should be acting up this much. Plus, this problem happens only once out of every 40 or 50 times I start this thing up. It's very infrequent, but it's there, and it just bothers me, I guess.
    That said, I would try reinstalling, but I wouldn't be able to tell if it'd worked unless the problem never cropped up again in a long, long time. Sadly I also don't have access to my OSX discs at the moment (I'm out of the country).

  • Cannot restart - log out or shut down...VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi
    I can't restart, log out or shut down my power book g4. I have always done it through the apple display cinema to which is connected but when I hit the side button on the apple display, nothing happens the light on the bottom-right corner dims but no window pops up with the usual shut down/sleep/log out options.
    Even if I try directly from the menu...nothing works except the sleep option.
    I tried as well directly from the power book after having it disconnected from the display, does not work.
    Disk permissions are repaired, but it did not help.
    PLEASE HELP HELP!
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hmm, sounds to me like a software issue. Maybe something is installed which prevents the shutdown. It could be harware (peripherals) too. Try without any connected peripheral (display, usb/firewire-devices, etc.). If that does not work try adding a new user account (you can call it "test") via System Preferences and see if the problem is the same with this user.
    Good luck!

  • I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down. Please Help me!

    Hello!
    I have a MacBook Air. I have got a software update notification couple of days ago. I've clicked on it today, and it started installing updates.
    But, I have got a notification telling that not all updates were installed successfully, then I have clicked on "Restart" from the notification box. Then my Mac restarted and the white screen with Apple logo and the update progress appeared (like what always happens during updates).
    The problem that while the update progress reached around half the way, my Mac shutdown. I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down.
    Please Help me!
    MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2009)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You did not state whether you installed the update while on battery (not mains) power. You are warned not to apply certain updates without being connected to a charger & mains power.
    Also remove any attached peripherals.
    Reboot in Repair mode (command-R at start)  and use Disk Tools-Disk Utility-Disk First AId to repair your disk, and as long as you're there repair permissions. Next quit Disk Tools and reinstall the OS. After completing that successfully reboot, log in and do a combo update.
    You must have more than enough (not just enough) empty (free) disk space for the update.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8A doesn't reconnect to net after log off or shut down

    My son has the L300 which connects to the net via wireless to the router in another room.
    When he logs out or shuts down, the next time he starts up he loses connectivity.
    I am been able to get him reconnected by logging into the router and reconfirming the setting but this is tedious and quite often does not work.
    His laptop often shows that he is connected but slow. I cannot find any sensible solution to all this.
    It is not a problem with the signal as I have placed the laptop right next to the router but still get the same problem.
    Any clues help you can give will be greatly appreciated

    Hi
    Did you try a new Wlan driver?
    You should definitely update the driver
    I have no idea what WLan card you have but this Toshiba WLan driver page provides all possible WLan drivers for Atheros and Intel cards
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    You can also try to update the BIOS is one is available
    Just one hint: my notebook has Atheros WLan card and Im using the Atheros WLan configuration tool in order to establish the connection
    It connects my notebook automatically to Wlan

  • Firefox 3.6.6 will not allow Windows 7 to log off or shut down

    I have a HP DV6 laptop (32 bit) with Windows 7. Firefox 3.6.6. seems to work well but the computer became slow and unresponsive and it will not log off, shut down or restart unless in safe mode. I uninstalled FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash 10 and now it works fine. On my Compaq Desktop (64 bit) with Windows 7, FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash work just fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to FF 3.6.6 and Adobe Flash 10 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C)

    I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
    Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
    I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

  • Mac not restarting, logging out, or shutting down?

    My mac that I got back in August is no longer restarting, shutting down, or logging off. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button. This becomes a problem when I get software updates that require restarting. Help?

    Aly,

    More or less it says:
    The System Management Controller is an integrated circuit (computer chip) that is on the logic board of the computer. As the name implies, it is responsible for power management of the computer. It controls backlighting, hard disk spin down, sleep and wake, some charging aspects, trackpad control, and some input/output as it relates to the computer sleeping.
    To reset:
    MacBook, MacBook Pro except MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009)
    1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
    2. Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the computer's battery.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
    4. Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
    5. Press the power button to restart the computer
    Note: Starting with MacBook Pro (Late 2008) and MacBook (Late 2008) models, you may instead use the reset method for MacBook Air (below) to reset the SMC. All earlier models of MacBook and MacBook Pro must use the method described above, which involves removing the battery.
    MacBook Air (Original), MacBook Air (Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009)
    1. If the computer is on, turn it off by choosing Shutdown from the Apple () menu.
    2. Connect the power adapter to a working power source.
    3. On the built-in keyboard, press (left) Shift-Control-Option along with the power button once.
    4. Wait 5 seconds and press the power button to start the computer.
    Note: You must use the keys on the left side of the built-in keyboard.
    You should only perform an SMC reset when the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) has been properly shutdown. This prevents issues from occurring to the file system.
    While the power adapter does not need to be connected to reset the SMC, it may be necessary in situations where the battery needs charging or if the computer has been without power for an extended period of time.
    Let us know if a reset helps.
    Bob
