On a three year old MacBook pro shutdown times after installing Yosemite have gone to more than 3 minutes. First the screen goes black and then the spinning segmented wheel continues for about 3 minutes. No outside programs/util installed except the required Java.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Macbook Pro early 2011 - trashing Parallels and all associated files took me from 2-1/2 minutes shutdown to a few seconds.
Almost bought a new Mac to get rid of this problem which has plagued me since upgrading to Yosemite.
This also worked for me - Parallels on 2012 MacBook Pro Yosemite.2.5 minute shutdowns.
Cleaned disk space. Ran Disk Utilities Verify/Repair. Still slow shutdown.
Removed Parallels. Still S-L-O-W shutdown. Removed the parallels files from LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons. After one more slow shutdown it now shuts down instantly!
Thanks very much for posting this solution!
I fixed mine by disabling "Firmware Password" via firmware password utility in Recovery menu (pressing command+r upon starting mac). It boosts shutdown time from 30 sec to 5-10 sec.
I hope that Appple get this fixed soon.
Im currently using Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2015 with El Capitan.
I Finally remove TOTALLY Parallels by this command:
cd /Library/Parallels/Uninstaller/Parallels\ Hypervisor/
sudo ./Uninstaller.sh
Insert your root psw then run the command. Wait the full uninstall, then try to restart your macbook.
Slow shutdown on Yosemite
