Mac OS X
Q: Macbook Pro MiD 2012 won't shut down on OS X El Capitan after several attempts
This issue started before the most recent update. 10.11.6 is what it is currently.
- I have been powering down via the power button to restart the computer
- Initially thought that old DigiDesign software was causing this, as I used to have an Mbox Mini 2. But I deleted individual files and folders however somehow the software still shows up in system preferences (strange...)
- Disk Utility First Aid Check was done, no errors were found
- Booted in Safe Mode a few times, first few times I was able to shut down no problem
- SMC reset was attempted, unsure if it worked as the mag safe light did not change color and blink
- Problem was not fixed
- I booted via OS X Recovery Mode, reinstalled OS X over existing copy, did not fix the shutdown issue
- Ran Disk Utility Via this as well and still did not help
- Does not shut down via safe boot mode anymore
- Utilized Console and noticed several issues showed up (how to pull this list? what would help?)
- Ran the BASIC hardware test to no luck
- Booted via Verbose Mode and was able to shut down via it
- A few directories and things were listed as missing (how to get this list?)
- I am able to open programs and use them except the Finder when it hangs up on shut down
Please help! I use Logic X and would really like not to have to format my computer.
