*In case one day that website doesn't work:


"Press these three keys together: Option (or Alt), Command, Esc (Escape). Or choose Force Quit from the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen. The Finder is always open, but if it stops responding, you can force it to quit and then open again: Select Finder in the Force Quit window, then click Relaunch."


**If that doesn't work:


"If you can't force the app to quit, try restarting your Mac:

Choose Apple menu  > Restart.


If your Mac won't restart, force your Mac to turn off:

  1. Press and hold the power button on your Mac for up to 10 seconds, until your Mac turns off.
  2. Turn your Mac back on"
