My iMac intel will not shut down. The version is 10.6.8. To turn it off I have to use the the power off button. Is there any one who can help me to solve the problem.
The blue screen comes on and the spinning wheel goes round and round until I have to turn it off by the power button.
iMac, iOS 4.3.2, Simple instructions required
I am having the same problem on my Mini. I found an earlier thread (now archived) that suggested that this spinning wheel on shutdown of SL has something to do with power management settings. Another idea was that it is related to EyeTV (which I do have running on this Mac).
Any ideas from the community on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! (I have done the typical steps of repairing permissions and (from the Install CD) running Disk Utility, which reported no problems.)
Keriah,
This is an iMac forum so you may be better served by posting in the Mac Mini forum.
Thanks. (Actually, I had been in a Snow Leopard forum, which is where I thought this was going -- I find the new organization of the Apple Discussion forums frustrating!!)

They do take a little getting used to, FWIW I prefered the old forum format myself.
