Re: shutdown impossible

[EM]

If the iMac is a 400 DV SE then the problem is common in conjunction with a
specific firmware update, and generally attrituted to corruption of the to
the Power Manager Unit, which can be reset/replaced, but the problem may
persist (as it does on my iMac) .

Do the date and time get mixed up?

Whichever iMac model this is, try Zapping the PRAM nonetheless (Restart in
Classic holding down Command+Option+P+R).

Good Luck,
Etienne

That would be my thought. You can also install just Sherlock by doing 
a custom install, and select just sherlock.

shutdown impossible

[Kathryn Odell]

My daughter's imac is suddenly refusing to shut down. It will restart,
however. Would the system need to be reinstalled? Also, I've lost Sherlock
on my powerbook; otherwise everything is fine. Can I just add that without
redoing the system software?
Thanks,
Kate
