After install Mavericks I can't turn off my MacBook Pro from the power button.

Dear all, prior to install Mavericks in my MacBook Pro, when I pushed the power button it appeared a dialog box which gave me the option to turn off the copmuter choosing the right option.

After the installation of Mavericks,and obviuosly having the system running, when I push the power button it does just nothing.


Does anyone have the same issue? Have someone solved it?


Thank you very much in advance for your answers, for your attention and for your help.


Kind regards.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Everyone has the same issue with Mavericks. Apple decided to replace the pre-Mavericks function where a quick push of the power button brings up the sleep/restart/shut down dialog box. Now it sleeps the computer. If you hold the button a little longer the old box comes up, but the timing is critical; hold too long and the compuer will do a forced shutdown--not good.


I gave up and now use the key combo control eject to bring up the old dialog box.

You can turn off this new sleep feature and restore the shutdown/sleep dialog box to pop up when you press the power button.




In Terminal copy & paste in the following command and then press enter:



defaults write com.apple.loginwindow PowerButtonSleepsSystem -bool no
