![]() ![]() Path: /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/MacOS/Software Update It says software quit unexpectedly with this long explanation I will try again and try to post the problem. When i try and update my applications that i just installed from the applications install dvd, the update completely crashes before finishing the update. Then when I try to update, it works.kind of. I have to shut down the system completely for a bit (10 minutes or so). HOWEVER - If (in the finder) I choose "log out", it proceeds to the log in screen, with "shut down" and "restart" buttons at the bottom, and they both work. If I choose "shut down", it just hangs, unresponsive. Aside:įor some reason, my own installation of El Capitan won't "shut down" from the finder. ![]() But this app or process IS NOT "playing well with the finder" - hence, the crash. I sense you have something running - some app or process or something - that is crashing and preventing the Mac from shutting down. That is (WITHOUT trying to shut down), from the finder, just "log out"?Īlternative method: Hold down the Command and Shift keys, and hit "Q". Back to the current problems:Īgain, did you try EXACTLY what I suggested in post 3 above? I consider it ESSENTIAL for the savvy Mac user to ALWAYS keep "a second boot source" close-at-hand. Instead, I mean a drive that "boots to the finder", and then lets you run whatever apps you wish. If you kept around an EXTERNAL DRIVE that had a fully-bootable copy of the OS on it, you could connect and try to boot that way, to see how things go.īy "fully bootable" I -DO NOT- mean a Time Machine backup or a copy of the OS installer.

Apparently it's a work-around, but if you need only 1 clean shutdown to install updates, it may work that way. To get it to shut down properly once, restart the machine, then shut down. This idea was pilfered from an older thread, but if there's an update available you should definitely update and see if that fixes the problem. If it does shut down, albeit very slowly, this article may help you: The slow shut down thing is a problem quite a few people seem to be having. Shut it down via the apple menu, wait like 10 minutes and see if it eventually shuts down. ![]() Can you tell us the model of your mac and OS running on it? Also maybe some of the things you've already tried to fix the problem (repairing disk permissions, SMC reset, etc)Ĭan you confirm it actually doesn't shut down at all? It may just be shutting down very, very slowly. ![]()
