macOS Shutdown errors
Fix shutdown problems on the Mac
If your Mac is slow to shut down or freezes during shutdown, solve the problem with these expert tips
Many people never experience problems shutting down their Mac, but occasionally it does happen, and either the Mac takes a long time to turn off or it begins shutting down, but never completes it. Holding down the power button for five or six seconds will instantly cut the power, but this is not recommended because there is a chance of data corruption when files are open.
