[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 664481, member: 24098"] Much like Windows, it doesn't immediately shut down when you tell it to. It can sometimes take a minute or two. If you've been in the habit of forcibly powering it off, be aware that you may have made the problem worse by damaging the disk structure. On a side note, since OS X is based on UNIX, it almost never needs to be shut down. Instead, I would recommend putting it to sleep. In sleep mode, it consumes just enough power to keep the contents of memory alive, and will then wake to exactly where you were when you put it to sleep. No need to wait for boot-up. [/QUOTE]
