Here's how to force quit on a Mac. Try QuitAll@ https://setapp.sjv.io/c/376211/343321/5114.

i. You have two main options for force quitting on Mac:

**1. Keyboard shortcut:**

- Press and hold **Option (Alt)**, **Command (⌘)**, and **Esc** keys together. This opens the Force Quit window.
- Select the app you want to quit from the list.
- Click **Force Quit**.

**2. Using the Apple menu:**

- Click the **Apple logo ()** in the top left corner of your screen.
- Select **Force Quit**.
- Follow steps 2 and 3 above.

Here are some additional tips:

* If you can't click the Quit button in the app's menu bar, it's likely not responding and you'll need to use Force Quit.
* You can also right-click an app's icon in the Dock and hold the **Option (Alt)** key to reveal the **Force Quit** option.
* If you want to force quit the Finder (which is always running), select it in the Force Quit window and click **Relaunch** instead of **Force Quit**.

ii. When your Mac or a specific app freezes, forcing it to quit becomes especially important. Here are some options to try, depending on the freezing situation:

**For a frozen app:**

1. **Force Quit:**
* **Keyboard shortcut:** Press **Option (Alt)**, **Command (⌘)**, and **Esc** keys together. Select the frozen app and click **Force Quit**.
* **Apple menu:** Click the **Apple logo ()**, select **Force Quit**, choose the app, and click **Force Quit**.
2. **Right-click the app's Dock icon:** Hold the **Option (Alt)** key and right-click the app's icon in the Dock. If "Force Quit" appears, click it.
3. **Terminal:** If the above options fail, open Terminal and enter the following command (replace "MyApp" with the actual app name):
```
killall MyApp
```
Press Enter and enter your password when prompted.

**For a frozen Mac:**

1. **Hard reset:** Hold the power button for **10 seconds** until the Mac shuts down completely. Wait a few seconds and then press the power button again to restart.
2. **Command-Option-P-R reset:** This resets the PRAM and SMC, which can sometimes resolve unexpected freeze issues. Turn on your Mac while holding **Command (⌘)**, **Option (Alt)**, **P**, and **R** keys. Hold them for about 20 seconds, then release them. Let your Mac restart normally.

**Important:** Before you force quit the entire Mac, try saving any unsaved work in other applications if possible.

**Additional tips:**

* Look for any resource-intensive processes in Activity Monitor and quit them if necessary.
* Check for software updates and install them.
* Restart your Mac regularly to help prevent future freezes.

iii. Forcing your Mac to close entirely depends on the scenario causing the freeze:

**If your Mac is completely frozen:**

1. **Hard reset:** Press and hold the **power button** for **10 seconds** until the screen goes black and the Mac shuts down. Wait a few seconds, then press the power button again to restart. This is the most immediate option, but be aware that unsaved work will be lost.

2. **Command-Option-P-R reset:** This resets the PRAM and SMC, which can sometimes resolve unexpected freeze issues. Turn on your Mac while holding **Command (⌘)**, **Option (Alt)**, **P**, and **R** keys. Hold them for about 20 seconds, then release them. Let your Mac restart normally. This takes longer than a hard reset but might be more effective for resolving deeper issues.

**If a specific app is frozen:**

1. **Force Quit through keyboard shortcut:** Press **Option (Alt)**, **Command (⌘)**, and **Esc** keys together. Select the frozen app and click **Force Quit**.

2. **Force Quit through Apple menu:** Click the **Apple logo ()**, select **Force Quit**, choose the app, and click **Force Quit**.

3. **Right-click Dock icon:** Hold the **Option (Alt)** key and right-click the app's icon in the Dock. If "Force Quit" appears, click it.

4. **Terminal:** If the above options fail, open Terminal and enter the following command (replace "MyApp" with the actual app name):
```
killall MyApp
```
Press Enter and enter your password when prompted.

Remember, forcing any program or system closure can lead to data loss. Try saving your work in other applications before attempting these methods.

If these solutions don't work, or you're experiencing frequent freezes, consider consulting Apple support for further assistance.
