Shutting Down Your MacBook

If you aren’t going to use your MacBook for a day or two, it’s best to shut it down. The sleep indicator light goes on briefly during the shutdown process.

ÂChoose Apple () > Shut Down from the menu bar.

ÂPress the power (®) button and click Shut Down in the dialog that appears.

If you plan to store your MacBook for an extended period of time, see “Storing Your MacBook” on page 107 for information about how to prevent your battery from draining completely.
