Post-Migrated Mac Taking too Long to Shutdown?
By Robert | May 14, 2008
I ran Migration Assistant to copy the account on my MacBook Pro to a desktop Mac (as in an iMac, Mac Pro, or perhaps even a home-spun concoction if you are so willing?)
After doing so, I found that restarting, shutting down, or logging-out took way longer than expected.
Running console, I found the following message shortly after the shutdown log that looked suspicious:
5/3/08 11:04:20 AM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist
Turns out I needed to remove an incompatible dashboard extension (in my case it was iStat Pro). Shutdowns, reboots, and logouts are now back to normal again
