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:

If the computer is in sleep, press the Power key (or any key on the keyboard except Caps Lock) to wake it.

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.

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

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 restart the computer by pressing the Command (x), Control, and Power keys simultaneously. If the computer doesn’t restart, press the reset button (marked with an I) 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.
