Turning t h e c omp ute r 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:
1If the computer is in sleep, press the Power key (or any key on the keyboard except Caps
Lock) to wake it.
2Move 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.
3With the tip of the arrow on the word “Special,” press and hold down the trackpad button.
4While holding down the trackpad button, move the arrow until the words “Shut Down”
are highlighted, then release the button.
Tr ou ble? 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.
