Scenario 2: macOS totally freezes (you can’t move cursor or click anything)ĭetails: the whole system becomes completely unresponsive.
Warning: a force quit on a running Mac application may cause you to lose any content that hasn’t been saved. You can also press “Command + Option + Esc”, it does the same thing. Then highlight the unresponsive app, and click “Force Quit” to exit. To do so, go to the Apple logo on the top left corner, click on it and select the “Force Quit” option. It may become responsive again (hopefully).
Reasons: the app may be waiting for other hardware resources to become available, or the software may have a bug that drops itself into a calculation loop. The application won’t respond to any commands. When you click around, the app just hangs with the cursor spinning like a pinwheel. For example, Adobe Photoshop, iMovie, or sometimes the web browser you use ( Safari, Chrome, Firefox). Scenario 1: An app is frozen (you can still move cursor)ĭetails: this kind of app usually demands a lot of system resources to process.
