[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1241872"] If you are getting a swirling beachball no matter WHAT you do, the best thing to do is walk away for a while. Like 20 minutes. If it's still doing that when you come back, only THEN would I suggest you press and hold the power button for four seconds. This WILL shut the machine off. Upon restarting I would recommend running your favourite utility program (OnyX or Maintenance or Applejack suggested) to prevent directory damage (forced shutoffs are never a good thing). [/QUOTE]
