[QUOTE="cowbrain, post: 1610603, member: 95559"] Thanks for replies. Much appreciated. Thanks. I think you must be right re something running in the background. Activity Monitor seems stacked with 'stuff' which must have come in with Mavericks. I could try quitting things one by one and go through a process of elimination. I tried it in safe mode - and it took even longer to shut down! Not tried the new user account trick, yet, though. Thanks. Yes, looking for reasons for slower shut down time. It doesn't matter a great deal to me - doesn't matter much, if I'm honest. But it's a new high-spec machine which is almost empty, so I'm curious why it wouldn't perform as expected. Other Macbooks I've owned with SSD's in them, would shut down in 2 or 3 seconds. (Although, this is my first machine with Mavericks) I am following your suggestion, at present. But may continue searching for a cause. Thanks. Yes, this was one of the tips I learnt as an early switcher (from Windows) and I still quit correctly. I also use [I]command + Q[/I], sometimes. (Just as good?) Again, thank you for replies. It's not a hugely important issue, but I'm certain that something is preventing a quicker shutdown and I'd like to know what it is, even if I can't do anything about it. I started this thread in the Hardware Forums, as I wondered if I had to activate/switch some command to the SSD to rectify the situation. As I continue to investigate, I will post again in the OSX/software forums, which is probably a more appropriate place for this issue. Best wishes, CB [/QUOTE]
