When a program becomes unresponsive, **use Force Quit.** Press the **Command+Option+Esc keys** or choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. S**elect the deviant application's name** from the drop-down menu (it probably has not responded next to its name). In most cases, you won't need to reboot. \
\
**Restart. If Force Quit doesn't work,** try restarting your computer. If a frozen Mac prohibits you from selecting **Restart** from the Apple menu, **press and hold the power button** for several seconds, or **press and hold the Control+Command keys,** then press and hold the power button.you problem should be solved
