"When an app on your Mac stops working, try these suggestions.
- If an app doesn’t quit as expected, or it’s unresponsive, you can force quit the app (you may lose unsaved changes). Choose Apple menu
> Force Quit, select the app in the dialog that appears, then click Force Quit. - If the app quit, reopen it by clicking Reopen in the dialog that appears.
- Restart your Mac by choosing Apple menu > Restart.
- Make sure the app is compatible with your version of macOS.
- Open another file in the app. There may be a problem with the original file.
- Check for updates to your software.
- Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of macOS.
- Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.
- If you recently updated the app or macOS, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.
- Diagnose problems with your Mac to learn whether hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective."
