One Mac application stops responding: quit only the affected app

Try a normal quit first. If the application will not respond, Force Quit can close it, but unsaved changes may be lost.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Try a normal quit first. If the application will not respond, Force Quit can close it, but unsaved changes may be lost.

Understand the issue

Check whether other apps still respond. A single frozen application does not require immediately forcing the whole Mac off. If the app is performing a known long operation, consider whether it is still making progress before interrupting it.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Try the app's normal Quit command.
  2. If it remains unresponsive, open Force Quit with Option-Command-Esc.
  3. Select the affected app, close it and reopen to inspect any recovery options.
