In fact, I have clicked "Shutdown." many times in the last month without ever having to press the touch id to power my laptop on: I always simply pressed on the trackpad, which made me believe this was the new normal with MBP and triggered my asking of this question.Īnyways, I feel now like the issue is separate from the question I asked (i.e., my real issue seems to be that my laptop fails to actually shutdown when clicking "Shutdown.", which is different from what I described). This, unfortunately, has nothing to do with how long I wait between clicking "Shutdown." and pressing a key or the trackpad: This has happened many time after waiting the whole night between clicking "Shutdown." and pressing on the trackpad.
But then a simple touch on the trackpad or a hit on any of the keys "wakes it up", as if it had been turned off and was powering on again (it goes through the black background screen with the white apple in the middle and the progress bar).
Unfortunately, the issues remain that when I click on "Shutdown." in the "apple" menu, the laptop does not seem to fully shut down. In that case, the MBP behaved as expected, i.e., it would only turn back on using the touch id button again, and would not turn back on by a simple touch on the trackpad or by pressing a key on the keyboard.ĮDIT: after a couple more tries, it appears I was mistaken, in the sense that even force shutting down the laptop does not actually solve the problem (see the discussion in the follow-up question Why won't my new MBP actually shutdown when I click "Shutdown." in the "apple" menu). Ok, following Sam's recommendation, I have tried to force shut it down using the touch id button. I guess what I would like is for my new MBP to behave more like my old Macbook air, i.e., 1) Actually fully shutdown when I click "Shutdown.", and 2) Only turn back on when I hit the "power one" button, which on the new MBP I always assumed was the "touch ID" button. Now, maybe what happened is I never actually turned my computer off? Is there any setting that would make the computer not turn completely off when clicking "Shutdown." ? I should check again at home, but I've had my new MBP for more than a month now and unless I am missing something completely - or I have been crazy for the last month - clicking "Shutdown.", waiting for my computer to shutdown, and then clicking on the touchpad (or on any other key) actually turns the computer back on. I'd like for it to power on only if I press the top right corner that corresponds to the finger print reader.ĮDIT: to further clarify, some elements from the comments: (EDIT: By "powering on", I mean powering on from a completely turned off state, after having hit "Shut down.", not waking up from sleep mode.) Recently got a new MacBook Pro and I really don't like the fact that it powers on by a simple touch on the trackpad.
