Lion hangs on shutdown or restart.

Hey guys,

I have the latest model 13" i7 Air with 10.7.2

Every time I want to shut down/restart, all apps close, the screen will go white with the tile spinning wheel and proceed to do absolutely nothing.
It seems to happen when I have multiple apps open and the "reopen windows" box selected and try to shutdown/restart etc.

I tried a search and thought I would find something... sorry if this has been addressed previously.

Thanks for your help.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I've let it spin for ages and nothing ever happens. Dead.
Once I shut it down, walked away and forgot about it. 30 mins later and the wheel was still spinning.

If I close all the programs myself and un check the "reopen" button it shuts immediately. If I do the same and the "reopen" button is checked (which it is by default) it hangs.

When I have multiple apps open it's only Safari, Mail & iTunes. Nothing out of the ordinary and no fan control apps running etc.

Thanks!

 

Thanks for the reply Tug.

I don't believe there is any third party apps running.

I boot the machine
Open Safari, Mail, Itunes (or something similar)
Then if I manually close these same apps and un-check the "reopen" tab on shutdown it's fine
If I shutdown/restart and let the computer close them it hangs.

Thanks

----------

If the computer is left on for a longer period of time (overnight) it hangs not matter what I do.

Thanks!

 

iTunes

Thanks tug,
iTunes seems to be the culprit... where to from here?

 

Yes, all apple software is up to date.

 

Thanks for your efforts tug.

Anytime I open itunes, it will hang on shut/restart. Even if I close it myself!

Anyone have ideas of where I can go from here?

Thanks!

Is that what you were after MarkMS?
I appreciate your help.


I have reset PRAM and performed repair permissions and no help.


If I boot the computer and open and then close iTunes and try a restart it will hang all the time. I believe it did it when I opened Parallels as well but am not 100%.

If I don't open iTunes it seems fine but we are talking in the span of less than 5 minutes and not a full working day.

Thanks.

----------

Thanks xgman.

I could remove the Daemons but now the OS won't let me. If I try and drag them out it only performs a copy and not remove whereas previously say 2 weeks ago when I tried to test this theory it would let me remove them from the original folders...

Is this a setting error on my part perhaps?

Thanks.

 

No not yet Toby.

As you can see a couple of guys have been very helpful tho.


@ Soulstorm, thanks for your help mate.

I've moved the LaunchAgents & Daemons out and rebooted.
Then shutdown no prob....

Rebooted and opened iTunes, closed iTunes, tried to restart and it hung.

It really does seem to revolve around iTunes.
I now have another iTunes issue on the mac pro where the volume auto mutes.

Thanks
JP

 

Hi mate, how is Athens today?

Well there was an iTunes helper still running, killed it and it still hung.
I tried that twice.

This was in the iTunes plug-ins folder:
Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle

back at you again
Cheers!

----------

got this in there:
Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle

Any help?
Thanks!
