由于Mac(Macs)是目前最可靠的计算机之一，当您在显示器上看到死亡的旋转轮时，没有多少用户能够体验到这种感觉。但是当它确实发生并且您的计算机死机时，最好选择使用正确的键盘快捷键(using the right keyboard shortcut)来解决问题。

因此，如果您发现您的计算机行为异常或应用程序没有响应，请尝试以下Mac 键盘快捷键之一。(Mac keyboard)然后按照它对您的 Mac 进行故障排除，以确保它不会再次发生。
Command + Q (Quit The Frozen App)
当您的Mac死机时，最常见的情况是您正在运行的某个应用程序导致它死机。如果您在使用某个应用程序时发现Mac没有响应，请先查看是否可以退出该应用程序，然后再尝试其他方法。但是如何确定是整个 macOS 还是一个应用程序导致了问题？
如果您仍然可以使用光标和键盘，这通常意味着您的计算机的其余部分都很好，它只是一个被冻结的特定应用程序。有问题的应用程序也很容易被发现。它是带有无响应菜单的程序，或者是将光标变成“死亡旋转轮”（也称为旋转沙滩球）的程序。
如果您发现这种情况，您可以通过简单地退出并重新启动有问题的应用程序来解冻您的Mac 。要关闭当前运行的前台程序，请使用Cmd + Q键盘快捷键。
Command + Tab (Switch From One App To Another)
当您找不到导致Mac死机的应用程序时，此 Mac 键盘快捷键非常有用。
因此，您尝试单击桌面并从一个应用程序移动到另一个应用程序，但仍然无法判断哪些应用程序没有响应。然后使用键盘快捷键Cmd + Tab从一个应用程序跳转到另一个应用程序并重新控制您的计算机。
如果这似乎不起作用并且您确定要找到该应用程序，请转到Apple菜单（单击 Apple 徽标）并调出Force Quit选项卡。无响应的程序将突出显示。一旦你找到了停止 macOS 的程序，请尝试退出并重新启动它。您可以使用我们列表中的 #1 快捷方式来完成此操作。
Command + Alt (Option) + Escape (Open the Force Quit Tab or Control Alt Delete on a Mac)
如果您以前曾经使用过 PC(used a PC before in your life)，那么当您的计算机死机时，您首先想到的就是臭名昭著的Ctrl + Alt + Delete快捷键。如果您甚至无法移动光标并且必须使用键盘，您可以使用它来退出应用程序。
Mac 版本是Cmd + Alt (Option) + Esc，您可以使用它来获得相同的效果。它不会立即退出应用程序，而是会弹出“强制退出(Force Quit)”选项卡。您将看到当前在Mac上运行的每个应用程序的列表。您还将看到哪些应用程序运行良好，以及哪些应用程序导致了问题。
后者将在其旁边有一个说明“未响应”的说明。现在您需要做的就是选择该应用程序，然后单击选项卡底部的强制退出(Force Quit)。
Command + Control + Power Key (Force Restart)
如果您尝试退出冻结的应用程序，但您的计算机仍然没有响应，您可能需要重新启动Mac。
执行此操作的正常方法是从Apple菜单中选择“重新启动”选项。(Restart)但是，要强制重新启动Mac ，请使用Cmd + Ctrl + Power button 快捷方式。那应该重新启动您的计算机并解决问题。
Command + Option + Shift + Power Key (Force Shutdown)
在极少数情况下，您可能会发现您的Mac完全死机或无响应。当您无法移动光标、无法强制退出(Force Quit)您正在运行的应用程序以及其他所有Mac键盘快捷键都让您失望时。
在这种情况下，您可以使用强制关闭Mac的选项作为最后的手段。您可以通过按住电源键几秒钟来做到这一点，或者使用Cmd + Option + Shift + Power button键盘快捷键。
在重新打开电脑之前，请确保拔下任何可能导致Mac运行缓慢的外部设备。重新打开计算机时，请使用安全启动。为此，请在启动 Mac 时 按住Shift键。(Shift)
至于您在关闭之前运行的应用程序和程序，请不要担心，因为您的Mac会在再次打开后自动打开并重新启动其中的每一个。

- 定期检查您的 macOS 是否是最新的。打开App Store并检查更新。确保您还在App Store内外更新您的应用程序。您可以使用大多数应用程序具有的“检查更新”选项。
- 如果是单个应用程序导致您的计算机死机或崩溃，您可以将报告发送给Apple或应用程序开发人员进行报告。此数据将有助于防止将来在软件和您的计算机上发生类似问题。
- 即使您的Mac 不太可能因为恶意软件而死机(Mac is freezing because of malware)，但仍然值得调查这种可能性。如果您仍然担心您的Mac感染病毒，也许是时候为自己寻找一个好的防病毒包了(find a good antivirus package for yourself)。
- 有时， Mac(Mac)冻结的原因是来自不同应用程序的任务太多，无法同时完成。您可以使用活动监视器(Activity Monitor )查看运行某些程序时发生的进程。检查(Check)哪些应用程序使用最多的能源、内存和磁盘空间，因为这可能是导致问题的原因。

Mac Keyboard Shortcuts For When Your Mac Freezes
Wіth Macs being some of the most reliable cоmрuters out there, not many users get to experiencе that feeling уou get when you see the spinning wheеl of death on the display. But whеn it does happen and your computer freezеs, it’s good to have the optіon of using the right keyboard shortcut to solve the problem.
Of course, you could always just restart your Mac. However, the problem could be just that one application that’s not responding. In which case you might be able to unfreeze your Mac without causing too much disruption.
So if you find your computer misbehaving or an application not responding, give one of the following Mac keyboard shortcuts a try. Then follow it by troubleshooting your Mac to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Command + Q (Quit The Frozen App)
When your Mac freezes, the most common scenario is one of the apps you’re running that causes it. If you find your Mac not responding while using an app, see if you can quit that application before trying other methods. But how to determine whether it’s the whole of your macOS or just one app that’s causing the problem?
If you can still use your cursor and keyboard, that normally means that the rest of your computer is fine and it’s just a particular app that is frozen. The problematic app is also easy to spot. It’s the program with an unresponsive menu, or the one that turns your cursor into the “spinning wheel of death” (also known as the spinning beach ball).
If you find that this is the case, you can unfreeze your Mac by simply quitting and restarting the problematic app. In order to close the currently running foreground program, use the Cmd + Q keyboard shortcut.
Command + Tab (Switch From One App To Another)
This mac keyboard shortcut is useful for when you can’t find the app that’s causing your Mac to freeze.
So you tried clicking on your desktop and moving from one app to another but still can’t tell which of the apps is not responsive. Then use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + Tab to jump from one app to another and to get back the control over your computer.
If that doesn’t seem to work and you’re determined to find that app, go to the Apple menu (click on the apple logo) and bring up the Force Quit tab. The unresponsive program will be highlighted. Once you’ve found the program that is stalling your macOS, try quitting and restarting it. You can do it using the #1 shortcut from our list.
Command + Alt (Option) + Escape (Open the Force Quit Tab or Control Alt Delete on a Mac)
If you’ve ever used a PC before in your life, the first thing that pops into your mind when your computer is frozen is the infamous Ctrl + Alt + Delete shortcut. You can use that to quit apps in case you can’t even move a cursor and have to use your keyboard.
The Mac version of that is Cmd + Alt (Option) + Esc, and you can use it to get the same effect. Instead of quitting the app straight away, it will bring up the Force Quit tab. You’ll see the list with every app currently running on your Mac. You will also see which apps are working fine and which one is causing problems.
The latter will have a note saying “not responding” next to it. Now all you need to do is choose that app and click Force Quit in the bottom of the tab.
Command + Control + Power Key (Force Restart)
If you’re in a situation where you tried quitting a frozen app but your computer remains unresponsive, you might have to restart your Mac.
A normal way to do that would be choosing the Restart option from the Apple menu. However, to force restart your Mac use the Cmd + Ctrl + Power button shortcut. That should reboot your computer and resolve the issue.
Command + Option + Shift + Power Key (Force Shutdown)
On rare occasions, you may find your Mac completely frozen or unresponsive. When you can’t move your cursor, can’t Force Quit the apps you’re running, and every other Mac keyboard shortcut has failed you.
In that situation, you can use the option to force shutdown your Mac as the last resort. You can do that by holding the power key down for a few seconds, or use the Cmd + Option + Shift + Power button keyboard shortcut.
Before turning your computer back on, make sure to unplug any external devices that could be causing your Mac to run slow. When turning your computer back on, use the safe boot. In order to do that, hold the Shift key while starting your Mac.
As for the apps and programs that you were running before the shut down, worry not as your Mac will automatically open and restart every one of them once turned on again.
Find Out What Caused The Issue
If you find your Mac not responding, freezing, or crushing on a regular basis, it’s better to investigate the cause of it and prevent it from happening again in future.
- First step of troubleshooting your Mac is to find out if you’ve got enough free hard drive space. And if you find that you don’t, there are a few ways to free up space on your Mac that don’t require too much time or effort.
- Check regularly if your macOS is up to date. Open the App Store and check for updates. Make sure you also update your apps within the App Store and outside of it. You can use the “check for updates” option that most apps have.
- If it was a single app that caused your computer to freeze or crush, you can send the report to Apple or the app developer to report it. This data will help prevent similar issues happening to the software and your computer in future.
- Even though it’s not likely that your Mac is freezing because of malware, it might still be worth investigating the possibility. And if you’re still worried about your Mac catching a virus, maybe it’s time to find a good antivirus package for yourself.
- Sometimes the reason for your Mac freezing is having too many tasks from different apps to complete at the same time. You can use Activity Monitor to see what processes take place when you’re running certain programs. Check which apps use the most energy, memory, and disk space, since that could be what’s causing the problem.
The Ultimate Solution – Give Your Mac a Break
In many instances, it can be that your Mac freezes because it’s struggling to work through all of the tasks that you’ve given it. In which case the best solution is to give your computer (and yourself) a break.
Take a breather: have a coffee, or take care of some other business around the office or house. When you get back to your computer, it might be back to its normal state, and you can safely continue your work then.
