[QUOTE="MunkeyQ, post: 1234011, member: 129637"] Restart and then immediately open the Console. Looks at the timestamp when you hit Restart - something in the background will be trying to quit, and it only allows a reboot when the system terminates that process. Most likely it's a 3rd party piece of software which needs reinstalling, or a print queue problem. Like all computers, Macs need to be restarted regularly. I rebooted my PC laptop about once a fortnight, and I do the same with my Macbook as applications leak over time and eat up your RAM, forcing it to page more and more data to disk, slowing the machine down.
