Every night before I go to bed I shut down my MacBook Air. It relatively new, I got it for Christmas a few months back. However, when I go to shut it down, sometimes it shows my desktop wallpaper and even part of the dock instead of an all black screen. I’m kind of concerned since my laptop is pretty new, but is this a big issue? How can I prevent it and is it broken? It only does this on occasion and it scares me a bit. I’m not sure why it’s doing this.

This sounds like Screen burn. Although maybe your mac is just refusing to shut down completely. Try holding the power button down until it shuts down. (make sure you save, as this forces the shutdown) could you add images so we can see what it looks like? Adding images to an existing question

I have this same problem. We’re you able to fix it? Or did it lead to any other issues with your Macbook?

I have the same problem too :( how do you fix it?

I had the same problem with my new Mac book pro. I bought it recently and after reading some articles I found that deleting cache might help, cause I think the cache that has been collected creates a lag or slows the Mac down. So I highly recommend using a third party app cleanmymac 3 but to delete all the accumulated cache you have to buy the app as their is a limit of some mb or gb that can be deleted another way is doing it manually. My situation improved a lot so I’m planning to delete the cache manually as buying the app itself is something I left as option B. And you can surf the internet on how to delete the cache. Moreover, copy all the files before deleting because it may cause some issues and if their is an issue simply paste those files back to cache folders. Try opening all the folder one by one and deleting the cache rather than deleting the whole folder.
