Turning the computer off with the Shut Down command

You can also turn your computer off by using the Shut Down command in the
Special menu. Follow these steps:

1

If the computer is in sleep, press the Power key (or any key on the keyboard except Caps

Lock or the trackpad button) to wake it.

2

Move the tip of the arrow to the word “Special” at the top center of the screen.

If the word “Special” does not appear at the top of the screen, you’re not
working in the Finder. Choose Finder from the Application menu at the
far-right end of the menu bar.

3

With the tip of the arrow on the word Special, press and hold down the trackpad button.

4

While holding down the trackpad button, move the arrow until the words “Shut Down”

are highlighted. Then release the button.

Trouble? If a problem with the computer prevents you from using the Power
key or choosing Shut Down—for example, if the computer “freezes” so that
the pointer does not respond to the trackpad—you can turn off the computer
by pressing the reset button on the back of the computer. Use this method
only if you cannot choose Shut Down or Restart when you press the Power
key, or if you cannot choose either command from the Special menu.
