最不方便和恼人的事情是您的设备在工作中冻结或卡住。你不同意吗？我相信你一定遇到过Mac屏幕死机的情况，你会惊慌失措，想知道当MacBook Pro死机时该怎么办。可以使用强制退出(Force Quit)功能关闭 macOS 上卡住的窗口或应用程序。但是，如果整个笔记本都停止响应，那就是一个问题。因此，在本指南中，我们将解释修复Mac一直冻结问题的所有可能方法。
如何修复 Mac 一直冻结问题(How to Fix Mac Keeps Freezing Issue)
当您长时间使用 MacBook(working on your MacBook for a significant amount of time)时，通常会出现此问题。但是，还有其他原因，例如：
-
磁盘存储空间不足(Insufficient Storage Space on Disk)：存储空间不足会导致任何笔记本电脑上出现各种不同的问题。因此，一些应用程序将无法正常运行，导致MacBook Air不断出现冻结问题。
-
过时的 macOS(Outdated macOS) ：如果您很长时间没有更新您的Mac ，您的操作系统可能会导致(Mac)Mac死机的问题。这就是为什么强烈建议将您的Mac Book更新到最新的 macOS 版本的原因。
方法一：清空存储空间(Method 1: Clear Storage Space)
理想情况下，您应该为笔记本电脑（包括MacBook）的正常运行保留at least 15% of storage space free。如果需要，请按照给定的步骤检查正在使用的存储空间并删除数据：
1. 点击Apple 菜单(Apple menu)并选择About This Mac，如图所示。
2. 然后，单击存储(Storage)选项卡，如下图所示。
3. 您现在可以看到内部磁盘上使用的空间。单击(Click)管理...(Manage…)确定存储杂乱的原因并将(Identify)其清除(clear it)。
通常，是媒体文件：照片、视频、GIF 等不必要地弄乱了磁盘。因此，我们建议您将这些文件存储在外部磁盘上(external disk)。
方法 2：检查恶意软件
如果您没有在浏览器上打开隐私功能(Privacy feature on your browser)，单击未经验证的随机链接可能会导致笔记本电脑上出现不需要的恶意软件和错误。因此，您可以安装防病毒软件(antivirus software)来检查可能已经潜入 MacBook 的任何恶意软件，从而使其变慢并容易出现频繁死机。一些流行的有Avast、McAfee和Norton Antivirus。
方法3：避免Mac过热
冻结Mac(Mac)的另一个常见原因是设备过热。如果你的笔记本电脑太热，
- 确保(Make)检查通风口。不应有任何灰尘或碎屑堵塞这些通风口。
- 让设备休息并冷却。
- 充电时尽量不要使用MacBook 。

方法四：关闭所有应用(Method 4: Close All Apps)
如果您有同时运行多个程序的习惯，您可能会遇到MacBook Air死机问题。可以同时运行的程序数量与 RAM(size of RAM)即随机存取存储器(Random Access Memory)的大小成正比。一旦此工作内存被填满，您的计算机可能无法正常运行。解决此问题的唯一选择是重新启动系统。
1. 点击Apple 菜单(Apple menu)并选择Restart，如图所示。
2. 等待MacBook正常重启，然后从Spotlight启动(Spotlight )活动监视器(Activity Monitor )
3. 选择内存(Memory)选项卡并观察内存压力(Memory Pressure)图。
- 绿色图表( green graph)表示您可以打开新的应用程序。
- 一旦图表开始变黄(yellow)，您应该关闭所有不必要的应用程序并继续使用所需的应用程序。
方法 5：重新安排凌乱的桌面(Method 5: Re-Arrange Your Cluttered Desktop)
您会惊讶地发现桌面上的每个图标都不仅仅是一个链接。它也是每次(image that is redrawn each time)打开 MacBook 时都会重新绘制的图像。这就是为什么杂乱的桌面也可能导致您的设备出现冻结问题。
-
(Rearrange)根据其实用性重新排列图标。
- 将它们移动到可以轻松找到它们的特定文件夹中。(specific folders)
