Problems with Software

When an application freezes or does not respond, Mac OS X provides a way to quit the

application without restarting your computer. Quitting a frozen application may allow

you to save your work in other open applications.

To force an application to quit:

1

Press Command (x)-Option-Esc or choose Apple () > Force Quit from the menu bar.

2

Select the name of the application you want to quit in the Force Quit Applications

dialogue.

3

Click Force Quit.

The application quits, leaving all other applications open.

If you have a problem with a software program
 Use Software Update to ensure that you have the latest drivers, bug fixes, and other

updates.

 For problems with software from a manufacturer other than Apple, contact the

manufacturer.

If you have a problem using your computer or working with Mac OS X
 Look in Mac Help (in the Help menu) for instructions and troubleshooting

information.

 For the latest troubleshooting information and software updates, go to the Apple

Support website at www.apple.com/support.
