Dock doesn't disappear after being prompted a restart or shut down
Hello,
When I prompt my MBP (13 inch, last model before Retina)to shut down or reboot, everything closes but the dock. The finder bar disappears and so do my desktop icons. I don't have any programs running but the dock will sit there, I've let it sit for over an hour and it does nothing. This forces me to reboot using the power button which I know isn't good for my laptop. Has anyone else experienced this before? Thank you for reading my post, I am normally very well equipped with technology but this I cannot seem to figure out!
Thanks a bunch!
