You can press power button on Mac computers. Box will pop up asking you what would like to do: Restart, Sleep, Cancel or Shutdown (default). Pressing ENTER (return) will activate shutdown operation.

The second way would be using Terminal approach. Write this line:

sudo shutdown -h now

This will be immediate shutdown with no asking if applications should be closed or documents saved. In other words, this will force Mac OS X to shutdown immediate. Note, that in this case you will have to enter computer password after executing this line.

There's only two ways to do it that I know of.

One is to go to the apple in the top left corner and press shut down.

The other is to hold the power button on the top right/left of your eject button until the light on the front of the macbook goes completely out (the light thats almost in line with your down arrow button [if you follow it down where it points])

I don't think you can. just do it manually by clicking the little apple icon at the very top right of the screen and the last option says Logout Yourname. click that.

Do you have to separately turn of the mouse and keyboard after shutdown on a mac?

You don't usually have to turn off the "mouse and keyboard" at all. On some models of the mac, the power button was on the keyboard, but pressing it starts the computer, it doesn't turn off the keyboard. If you have a wireless keyboard/mouse, then if you don't turn them off they're still running on battery power. The batteries won't last as long if you don't shut them off, but you don't HAVE to do it.

How do you change a Mac mouse to single click?

A single click with a mouse on a Mac is used to select an item. Mac OS X does not support a single click to open a folder/file in the way the Windows operating system can be customised to do. However applications located in the Dock are launched with a single click and there are keyboard shortcuts for most operations, such as pressing the Command and O keys to open folders or launch applications., without the use of the mouse.
