Press the power button, hold it down until the Mac shuts off, press it again and wait for the boot sequence to finish.
Why did you Force Quit "launchd" in the first place?

How long do you hold the power button? Five to ten seconds should normally do the trick. If that does not work, you probably have to let the battery run of charge until the Mac shuts down itself.
If you don't know, what process is doing what while browsing Activity Monitor, just do a quick www search for the name and "mac process" as additional search terms, like "launchd mac process".

That is normal, as launchd is one important process. But simply pressing the power button once does not force a shutdown, it only presents you with the dialog you see. Again, how long have you held down the power button? Five to ten seconds should normally suffice to force shutdown.

Ah. I knew my comma was too much.
It likely was. I even missed it. Guess I should stop posting from my phone.
It was not any kind of down talking, just maybe that my comma was too much and the post got misinterpreted. Or PEBCAK.
Late? Bastard. Watched too much HBO or TNT I suppose. But then again, SHO has nothing to offer and Whisky is still in its infancy.
Yes late. It's 2:00 AM here and I have work tomorrow. Been spending all night playing GameCube.
Then off you go, don't waste your time here, east cost hip pop junkie.
It is currently 8 in the morning and I am finishing another shift of dreadful ****. Ahh, computer access will be the death of me.
