Mac

What do you do if your Mac is not responding?


Press and hold the power button on your Mac for at least 10 seconds, then release. Every Mac has a power button. On notebook computers that have Touch ID, press and hold Touch ID. If you see no change on your Mac, press and release the power button normally.

How do I fix unresponsive Mac?

Click on the Apple menu at the top left of the screen, then select Restart and click Restart. If you cannot interact with the Apple menu (perhaps your mouse is unresponsive) try pressing Command-Control-Eject on a very old Mac or Control-Option-Command-Power button on a newer Mac.

How do you restart an unresponsive Mac?

To force a restart your MacBook, you need to press and hold down the Command (⌘) button, the Control (Ctrl) key, and the power button at the same time. Hold these keys down until your MacBook’s screen goes blank and the computer restarts itself. Once your computer reboots, you’ll need to sign back into your account.
