Yoga 13: cannot be shut down

After shutdown, the screen goes black but the power button is lit unless I hold it down to power off. Tried the "turn off fast boot" suggestion, which did not work. I think I tried to shut down in safe mode once and it did not work either. Has anyone else seen the problem and fixed it successfully? Thanks.

i think' it's because of the usb mouse. can you just try shutting it down by un-pluging it?
or try andy's suggestion :

I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps

I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps. Any tips or help would be appreciated

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

X200 cannot sleep / shut down

I have a X200 which is hardly 2 months old. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, 4GB of RAM. The issue I have is that it does not sleep (standby) or shut down. It just stalls at a blank screen (for sleep) or the shut down screen. The one thing I notice is that my WiFi radio does not turn off.
My suspicion was true. When I rebooted with the Wifi radio off, everything worked perfect. I might also add that the WiFi works as expected when it is on. It only seems to affect the sleep and shut down.
I've got Lenovo tech support to check it out and they've changed both the WiFi card and the whole system board. Yet this issue comes back. I've updated all the latest drivers as well.
I'm now at a loss why this is happening. Could this be caused by other unrelated hardware? Fingerprint scanner? RAM? or is this a software issue? If so, what can I do?
Appreciate any help if anyone has experienced the same. Thanks.

Hi
I had the same problem (or nearlly the same).
Here are logs I had from the WHOCRASHED software:

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: eamonm.sys (Amon monitor, ESET).
Google query: eamonm.sys ESET DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Anyway, my problem was solved by uninstalling ESET smart security. Maybe it will help you as well (if you use it).

It has locked and I cannot even shut down plus the icon is unresponsive

firefox locked on a website on March 23 and stopped functioning altogether as a server PLUS I can no longer shut off my MAC except manually and then manually turn it on with out the Mac start up sequence.
I cannot download updates as Firefox cancels my attempts as it cancels my effort to shut down normally ...it is a great disappointment and a disaster to this non techie who was advised to download Firefox by other more savvy users...HELP
A new Mac owner

Could you please uninstall firefox from your Mac. Also if you'd like [[Firefox Hangs]] article could also help.

Ipod touch 5th generation battery screen with lightning bolt locked cannot charge or restart. ive tried everything from new cables attempting to shut down but stays at screen for a few seconds then black screen again over and over

screen locked up and shows the battery with low red and ligtning bolt and cannot hard shut down or reset just stays there for a few seconds then black screen. hooked up to computer and itunes doesnt recognize it or even shows that it is pluged in. looked and made sure nothing is broken or metal in ligting port or on cable which would prevent it from accepting a charge. ipod is only a month old and seems like a waste of money if its so hard to try to get an explanation of why this is ive been tryning to get an answer from apple for a week now.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot shut down 10.4.7 G%

for some time now i cannot actaully shut down my G5. It gets as far as everything shutting down except the desktop image and then nothing...no spinnig wheel or any sign of activity and the only option is to hold the power key for forced shutdown.
I have tried logging out and this takes me to the re-loging screen but then if i choose shut down or restart it will only go so far as the blank blue screen and then nothing once again.
If i start up in safe mode (holding the shift key) i still have the same problem, so i assume most third party issues are irrelevant here?
i have used disk warrior, applejack, permission repair etc etc, most of the usual suspects.
As i rarely shut down i cannot pin it down to any specific update or addition.
What preferences should i try trashing etc etc.
i do have a busy system and do not look forward to reinstalling etc etc so any help much appriciated.

Go to the Apple site and get it manually. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047intel.html
Afterwards, check SU again to see if it is "broken". Have you been able to download the new iTunes 7?

Permanent blue screen on shut down

Hi: Since a few days I cannot properly shut down. The blue screen with the revolving circle stays for ever and I have to do a hard shut down (pressing power button 5 seconds). This even happens after a save boot with all extensions disabled and all peripherals disconnected.
I did:
disc check,
permissions repair,
SMC reset,
Apple's hardware check,
PRAM reset,
to no avail.
Any ideas? Thanks.

This is for a Mac that won't shut down. Launch +Activity Monitor+ and see if there are any active applications besides Activity Monitor ( items with icons next to the name), select them, and click Quit Process.
If an app won't quit by clicking Quit, click Force Quit. Then try shutting down again.
If that doesn't work start killing off system-managed programs ( items without icons ) . Be sure to quit only the programs your user account is running; don't quit anything identified as "root" or "nobody" in the User column- and whatever you do, don't quit any of the following : loginwindow, Window Server, ATSServer, or SystemUIServer, which make up the foundation of Mac OS.
Quit one process at a time, and then shut down after each kill until you find success!
I wish you luck!
p.s.If you install two of a single user licensed third-party application on different computers which are networked, this symptom may occur. If that is the case, a solution is to perform "Erase and Install" for both computers.

Windows O/S running in the virtual machine has frozen does not want to shut down

Our old Windows-based PC is a virtual machine on our iMac (it is accessed using VMWare Fusion 2). The Windows XP Home Edition O/S froze when booting, and cannot be shut down by sending a Ctrl-Alt-Del or Force Quitting VMWare Fusion. Putting the iMac in Sleep mode or restarting it makes no difference. The virtual machine is still in a suspended state, and there appears to be no way of either getting it to finish booting the Windows O/S or shutting it down. Any ideas as to how to unfreeze it? At this point in time, all I want to do is get back into the Windows side, rescue any data files I need, and stop using the virtual machine.

VMware Fusion issues should be posted in the VMware Fusion forums:
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion?view=discussions
That said, you can "Force Shut Down" a virtual machine by holding down the Option key, then clicking on the Virtual Machine Menu. "Shut Down" becomes "Force Shut Down".
More than likely what you'll need to do is hold the Option key, then choose "Force Restart" to get Windows to boot again. Then use "Force Shut Down" to power off the VM, if a normal shut down does not work after that. Do NOT close the VM window, or put the Mac to sleep as this will initiate another suspend procedure.

I was updating my iphone, but my computer shut down half way through restoring my old settings. When I turned my computer back on, i tried to continue with the restore but the original backup i was trying to use wasn't there anymore, it had been replaced.

Could this be a virus?

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          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
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

I cannot open iphoto- the message I am getting says Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Comma

i cannot open iphoto- the message I am getting says Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command-
I tries and it doesnt work!!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD
