I just tried on my 2012 Mini, it went into sleep instead of getting the dialogue box, then I unticked the box in Energy saver (Allow Power button to put the computer to sleep) and it is there.
Not on my machine. Never did. Unless it's some feature built into the newer iMacs
So that's it. Thanks.
But that's irrelevant. Not only is that, from what I recall, not the default setting of the power button (sleep) but I said 2 mouse clicks, not pressing a button on your device and then a key/mouse click.
If that was actually not a response to the 2 click part of the comment and rather the 1 movement + 3 clicks to shutdown osx that is also irrelevant because you can also shutdown windows using the power button.
What even? You put up an asinine false premise and then defend it. Good job. Either that, or you're genuinely illiterate and have nothing but my sympathy.
Again, your problems aren't representative of most people. I run OS X weeks and months at a time without shut down and it runs perfectly. You may want to look at what's wrong with your set up.
Well I've had a Mac since Tiger, so I've "had something taken away" as well. I just feel it's not a major loss. But if it's important to you, let's hope they fix it for your sake. We can agree to disagree as to how important it is.
Yeah, clearly I can't read. I'm not really sure how I've been managing to navigate the internet.
Which means that you don't encounter the problem, not that the problem doesn't exist. If you had a car that generally had problems turning left, you'd be the guy insisting that it's OK since you only turn right.
i understand where he comes from. apple's products are expensive, so people expect a do-it-all answer-personal-criteria kind of computer. they forget that while their products (in my opinion) are very good, in the end it's a computer. it needs to answer a certain set of demands, that relevant to most users, as apple wants to get as many costumers as possible.
if one searched for a computer based on broad demands (battery time, specs etc) than (if he chose so) they will be happy with an apple computer.
if, however, they are looking for a very certain feature (shut-down time, as an example) they should look for another computer that can deliver it. i'm sceptical that such a computer exists. i didnt see dell/asus/hp advertising a laptop by "we have the fastest shut-down time!!!!!!!!1111"

Maybe they should advertise it! Some people seem to be very passionate about their shutdown times
People aren't asking for a "feature", people are asking for a bug to be fixed.
Maybe you still can, just hold down F12 instead of eject.
Unless you can quote me some source that states that there is a general problem with OS X after standardly long uptimes, particularly in comparison to other OSes, then I stand by my opinion. I would say the vast majority of this forum keeps their macs up for long periods of time.
I also find the shutdown speeds to be slightly annoying on my rMBP 15", but since I only use bootcamp a few times a day, I still sleep easy at night. My two cents, however, is that this issue is not being worked on. My desktop background resets every single time I reboot (as it has since 10.8.1), so it's clear to me that the Apple devs do not restart their computers... ever. Honestly, it's the stupidest persistent bug known to man kind. I'm not losing sleep over this issue either, but it definitely shows how poorly Apple manages development on the OSX platform.
FFS, please understand this once and for all. Pull your heads out your ass and understand that it's not about shut down being faster because we want it to be. It's about a bunch of processes that fail to quit ALL THE TIME so they need to be killed. How isn't that important, easy to diagnose and probably to fix? Let's applaud Apple for ignoring it and instead care about Safari being snappier? Good God.
I agree. If shutdown time is so important because of Bootcamp, install a damn VM and be done with it. I use VirtualBox, and it works just fine for FREE. It's also a lot more flexible.
Lol, you're kidding me right? Performance it's not even the same. You're basically telling people to lose performance under Windows because shutdown times are slow. Facepalm
lets talk numbers here. how much time does it take your computer to shut down, from the moment you click "shut down now"?
