Problems with Software
When an application freezes or doesn’t respond, Mac OS X provides a way to quit the
application without restarting your computer. Quitting a frozen application may allow
you to save your work in other open applications.
To force an application to quit:
1
Press Command (x)-Option-Esc or choose Apple () > Force Quit from the menu bar.
2
Select the name of the application you want to quit in the Force Quit Applications dialog.
3
Click Force Quit.
The application quits, leaving all other applications open.
