What is what to do when mac is frozen?

When your Mac freezes, it can be frustrating. Here's what you can do:

1. Wait it out: Sometimes, a Mac freezes temporarily due to a demanding process. Give it a few minutes to see if it resolves itself.

2. Force Quit: Try to <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/force%20quit%20applications">Force Quit Applications</a>. Press Command + Option + Esc (Cmd+Opt+Esc). Select the unresponsive app and click "Force Quit".

3. Use Activity Monitor: If you can't identify the problem application through Force Quit, open <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/activity%20monitor">Activity Monitor</a> (found in Applications/Utilities). Identify any processes using a high percentage of CPU and force quit them.

4. Force Restart: If the whole system is unresponsive, try a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/force%20restart%20mac">Force Restart Mac</a>. Press and hold the power button until the Mac shuts down. Wait a few seconds, then press the power button again to restart. Be aware this can cause data loss.

5. Safe Mode: Start your Mac in <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/safe%20mode">Safe Mode</a>. This prevents certain software from loading and can help you troubleshoot the issue. To start in Safe Mode: Restart your Mac and immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the Apple logo. Safe Mode takes longer to boot and may be slower.

6. Check Disk Space: A full hard drive can cause performance issues. Make sure you have sufficient free space on your startup disk.

7. Check for Updates: Outdated software or macOS can sometimes lead to instability. Check for and install any available updates.

8. Hardware Issues: If freezing persists, it could indicate a hardware problem. Run Apple Diagnostics to check your hardware. You may need to contact Apple Support or an authorized service provider.
