Mac wont shutdown
August 1st, 2013
Personaly I cant help… I’m not into mac’s…
I think maybe it can be some new app that you install and it wont close. If it wont close, the Operating System will be trying too kill it endless so it can shutdown.
Try to remove the last app you have installed. Or something like that.
Anyway this is my best help to you since, like I said, I’m not a mac guy
nop..
will this link help at all

and also read this somewhere
When a Mac cannot shut down it's usually because a running process refuses to quit. Since you say this is intermittent then it may be the problem occurs only when a particular applications is running that will not quit at shutdown. I suggest you open Activity Monitor and keep an eye out on which application isn't quitting properly. This may be caused by a faulty program preference file or a corrupted cache file.
Corrupted cache files can also cause problems with shutdown, so you may want to use a tool like TinkerTool System or Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to remove system and user caches to see if that cures the problem.

So I was right… An app running in background who refuses to shutdown
