When I pressed the power button while its on, it doesn't show this.
I tried resetting the SMC but it still doesn't work. Please help!
Q: Power Button Unresponsive!
Are you depressing the Power button long enough?
Press and hold the power button for three seconds to see additional options:
Hold down the Control key and tap the power button once to immediately display the same prompt. If your keyboard includes a Media Eject key (
), you can also access this prompt by pressing the Control and Media Eject keys simultaneously.

That is not a good practice. If you hold the power button a little too long, your Mac will do an uncontrolled Power-Off, which can cause directory corruption.
Use the other keyboard shortcuts already mentioned, such as Control-Eject, or choose Shutdown from the menu.
