How do I perform a force quit on the Mac?
If you need to force quit your software for any reason (e.g. your screen has frozen or the app is not responding) please do one of the following:
- If the app you want to quit is in your dock, hold the "Option" (⌥) key and right-click on the app icon, then, select "Force Quit" from the menu.
- You can also hold down "Option" (⌥) + "Cmd" (⌘) + "Esc" which will trigger a window with a list of apps you have running. To force quit one or more of these apps, simply select it from the list and click the "Force Quit" button.
