There’s a few quick ways to duck out of unresponsive apps, but you should always check if there’s an unknown program slowing down your Mac.
We’ve all been there. Sometimes something gets jammed in the works, the proverbial tubes get clogged, and the app you were using on your Mac or Mac Book is no longer responding. First and foremost, you should simply quit out and restart the app, but if you’re having trouble there are a few simple things you can do to Force Quit out of any app on Mac . First, we should know the difference between Quit and Force Quit. Quitting an app is the normal process for ending an application.
Click on the offending app, then at the top look for the little “X” icon in an octagon. Click that, and you should receive a dialogue box giving you the option to Quit or Force Quit. Try hitting Force Quit, and see if that finally forces the app to stop working. If that has all failed, your best bet is to reset the Mac. Go up to the Apple icon at the top left of the screen, and either hit Shut Down to power off the Mac or Restart to see if that might fix the issue.
