Quit Not Responding Applications Mac OS X

Mac OS X is an ultimate operating system, although problems occur in it are rare,but they do show up from time to time. If these issues seem to present themselves at the worst possible moment then you can only help yourself  if you know the best ways to troubleshoot them, Fact is most of the problems you’ll encounter can be easily solved by following simple steps . Today we gonna discuss how to troubleshoot a non responsive application.

Applications behaving weird:

One of the most common problems we face on a Mac is an application that just begin to behave weird and doesn’t work as expected. This problem occurs in many forms such as the application just quits unexpectedly, repeatedly, stops responding, or doesn’t perform the way it is programmed to etc.  So, if you are one of those who are facing these problems then here are few suggestions that can help you out .So lets dive in.

Scene 1) At some moments an application will simply stop reacting to anything. But your mouse will still work,  and so do the other programs work fine, but if you try to troubleshoot it or just want to quit it, all you’ll get is a spinning ball cursor and you’ll have no way to quit it.

If you are facing this problem then fasten yourself to your computer chair—there’s an easy fix to fix this. All you got to do is simply right-click or Control-click the freezed application’s icon in the Dock, this will bring up the Dock menu of the program. You will find “Application Not Responding” text at the top of the menu, all you got to do is Select Force Quit you’ll  find this option in the same menu down below and OS X will kill the program for you.

Scene 2) But sometimes OS X will not realize the application’s responsive state and at this point you might need to try an alternative way to quit the application. So to do this thing done – all you got to do is, launch the Force Quit Applications dialog box by heading over to the Apple menu and selecting Force Quit or you can try keyboard shortcut that is press Option-Command-Esc or You can also try holding down the Shift key and click the Apple menu, and then select Force Quit application to kill the ongoing application.

Good News to the Lion and Mountain Lion users – in previous version of OS X we use to loose unsaved data whenever we force quit a not responding application but the latest OS X versions comes with an auto save function so whenever you force quit an application and re-open it, then automatically the program will show you the unsaved work which was previously closed by force quitting .

Apple Advices advice you to keep hitting save function when you are working on some application.
