nMP takes ages to shutdown

[razer]

So shutting down my new nMP for either a reboot or just good old fashioned shutdown takes forever (up to 10 minutes). Anyone else having this issue?

Where should i be looking to see why its so slow?

Look in "Console" for errors or timeouts

My MacPro takes a long time to shut down when an application, such as Preview, Pages, KeyNote, Numbers, Mail, are open and hidden. When I remove these applications, the time to shutdown is similar the time to turn on, approximately 12 seconds. But, until now, it never took 10 minutes to do it.

Thanks both, will look in more detail this evening

Sounds like a driver or hardware problem somewhere. This can happen with things that are plugged into it.

Only had my monitor plugged in at the time and a network cable.

Have got a auto login item to my NAS folders, could it be that? (have the same on my iMac and that shutsdown fine)

I suppose it's possible but certainly not likely.

I've used the fix for stalled/slow shutdowns on this link on a number of machines and it has fixed it every time.

Superb! will take a look at that later on, could well be the problem. Was going to try a 'repair permissions' first so good to see it noted in there.

Annoying on a brand new fresh out of the factory machine!!!

Repair permissions seems to have fixed things for now.

I will be repairing the permissions to both my 10.9 macs in recovery hd shortly. Do it every OSX point update and probably 2/3 times a year.

Just did the MBP - must have been 30/40 needing fixing!

I had a similar amount and it only arrived on Monday! ive just installed a few programs and thats about it
