Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your eMac 21
When an Application Freezes
On rare occasions, an application may “freeze” on the screen. Mac OS X provides a way
to quit an unresponsive application without restarting your computer. Quitting an
unresponsive 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.
The Force Quit Applications dialog appears with the application selected.
2 Click Force Quit.
The application quits, leaving all other applications open.
If needed, you can force Classic to quit, which closes all Mac OS 9 applications. You can
also restart the Finder from this dialog.
If you’re experiencing other problems, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” on page 51.
