Won't shut off

My MacBook Pro won't shut off. I click the Apple. Then, I click "shut down". The screen goes gray and the spinning gear starts. But, it never shuts down. I eventually have to press the manual shut down button on the keyboard. Solution???

It happened to me before but after I repaired the disk permissions, my mac runs a lot smoother now, so I recommend you to go to Applications>Utility>Disk Utility. Click on "First aid" then go to the top left corner and click on your hard drive then click Verify Disk Permissions, then if some errors pops out and when verification is complete click "Repair Disk Permissions" then restart your Mac. This will make your mac run a lot smoother. Try this at your own risk. If anything bad occurs do not blame me.
If you do not want it to happen again, I recommend you to download this: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
This Application helps you to keep your mac running smooth.
Hope this solution helps!

I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. Now it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. What should I do?

I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. I dried it and shook out as much water as I could. I removed the SD card and put everything in a bowl of rice. It is still in there and everything appears to be working normally, but it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. I've tried the restart thing where you press and hold the pwr button and the home button. What should I do?

HT203987 My Apple iPad won't shut off or close down. How do I get it to shut off'

I Have an Apple IPad tablet.it is a 32 gb. IOS 8.1.3 when I try to shut it down I know there use to be a bar that you slide to close it.but now I can't find it . I held the button down for 10 to 20 seconds but it still won't shut off. If I let it go during the nite while I sleep I can hear it makeing a dinging sound like I get when a notification shows up. but it won't completely shut down . How do I get it to shut off.

TTry a reset. Hold down on the sleep AND home buttons at the same time - for 10 seconds or so - until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. When the logo appears, let go of the buttons and let the iPd start up. After it starts up, then try to shut down again.
BTW, I amost never shut my iPads or iPhone off. I simply let them sleep. I recharge the battery when needed but always while the iPads or phone is still powered up.

Ipad 2 won't shut off.

My ipad 2 won't shut off. I've even tried the hard shut down, holding down the home button and the power button at e same time and nothing happened. It runs like normal except I can't get it o power down anyone have any ideas?

You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If that doesn't work, try restoring from a backup - if you have a current backup that was created before this problem occurred.

IPad 1 won't shut off

My iPad 1 won't shut off. I've held the sleep button down for up to a minute but the shut off slider never pops up. Any suggestions?
Thanks

1. Let the iPad run till it auto shut down
2. Charge the battery
3. Restart and see if problem goes away.

I wasn't able to access my email on my pad, so I tried to shut it off, thinking I needed a software update. Now my ipad won't shut off. Any ideas?

My email was a white blank screen on my ipad. Thinking I needed a software update, I tried to shut it off. Now all I have is a black screen and the "working" logo in the center, but it won't shut off.
Any ideas?

When you reset the iPad, wait until the Apple logo appears on the screen before you let go of the buttons.
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not help, connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new device", explained here iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore and here How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

My ipad won't shut off...apple icon is on display and cannot get red slider. I've tried holding down the shut off button and home button at the same time and the apple icon disappears for a few seconds and comes right back up.

Try a reset a few more times.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

iPad 2 won't shut off, the little wheel just turns and turns and nothing happens. Can you do a hard restart?

My LG Ally is frozen and won't shut off

This morning, when I tried to sign in to Google Talk it said it is unable to connect. When I cleared out of there I decided to power off and see if restarting helped the issue. Unfortunately, It got stuck while powering down and it won't shut off. I tried holding down buttons, which didn't do anything. I can't get the battery out and broke my nail in a really painful way trying. Any advice? How can I safely remove the battery without resorting to prying it out with a screwdriver?
If anyone can help I will be eternally grateful. I love this phone and hope this won't become a recurring issue.

My Lg Ally also had the exact same problem. I called tech support and after a couple of subsequent freezes, Verizon sent me a new phone. After a couple of days, the new phone is experiencing similar symptoms. The one thing I noticed that both phones had in common was the location where the freezing occurred. I was trying to place a call, when located approximately a hundred and fifty yards from a known cell site. I wonder if you have noticed the problem reoccurring at a particular location or proximity to a cell site. This is just an observation that I have made. As far as the battery, I would try to find a small piece of plastic or even a small baby spoon to pry the battery out. Something that will not damage the case. The only way to reset the phone is to pull out the battery. After you remove the battery, you might put a small tab of tape around the top. This way, if it happens again, you can pull on the tab of tape to remove the battery. (kind of like you see in the battery holder compartment of portable radios.) I hope this is not a common problem with these phones. Hopefully Verizon and LG will identify this problem immediately.

I plugged IPOD in to sync ( first time in over a year) it auto started with the "Do Not Disconnect", but did not sync. Now the IPOD is stuck in that mode, won't shut off, won't sync, won't work. is there a way to reboot it?

It has already been 6 days from your post, my apology for responding so late, but it is my habit to help only the leftovers, which the other contributors missed.
Toggle the hold switch make sure there is no red showing.
To reboot an iPod. (Or RESET in Apple iPod jargon)
Press Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON , this would not erase any data from your iPod.
I would advice you to leave the iPod charging for about 4 hours, if it has been discharged for 1 year or more, and also Apple recommends that you charge the iPod at least once a month, to prevent a discharged battery leakage, which may corrrode the circuitry in the iPod.
Hopefully you don't get the dreaded RED X on the iPod screen.
Good Luck!
