Your Mac is frozen. Yes, that’s not supposed to happen, and yes, there’s potentially an easy Mac fix for that.
Typically, your Mac is frozen because one app is a memory-hog and takes over your whole Mac. So, let’s stop the app in its tracks and free up your Mac again.
Here are 5 easy steps to fix your frozen Mac:
- Click on the desktop or another App besides the freezing one.
- Control-click the app icon in the Dock.
- Hold Option (Quit in the menu with change to Force Quit).
- Select Force Quit.
- Wait for your Mac to be unfrozen.
