I've searched through the forums and found some similar things. Basically the macbook just gets the spinning wheel when trying to shut down. My problem started last night and happens whether I select to re-open windows on login or not.
As other threads suggested, I followed Apples document for resetting the SMC, and that did not fix the issue.
If I simply get to the user login screen, don't log in, and shut down, then it will shut down after 20-30 seconds. Once I log in, it won't shut down on its on (I have to hold the power until it turns off).
I've been on mountain lion since it launched, but this issue only started last night. Any other suggestions?
