Continuity pop-up is not helpful Upgraded to a new Macbook. Now I'm occasionally getting helpful Mac feature popups that are not always very helpful. Such as todays an the subject of Continuity. Specifically, slide #2, "Hand off to your Mac". It says: When you start something on one device, you can pick it up on your Mac. The icon of the app you’re using appears at the end of the Dock — click it to keep working. I do not see anything at the end of my dock when using any app, except what is always there: My App shortcuts that are always to the left of the divider, and 'Downloads' and 'Trash' that are always to the right of divider. Maybe these pop-up feature things would be a little more useful if they contained a link to some more detailed documentation than a couple of ambiguous sentences.

How do I stop force quit application pop-ups on Mac? Force quit application Force quit applications keep popping up every few seconds to remind me that my system has run out of application memory. It shuts down my tabs, or whatever im doing like music, shows, or work. I have force quitted the apps that its asked multiple times for a long time. According to my Mac storage I have a lot of space and memory left. How do I stop the application pop up from coming up? It’s really annoying I just want to to stop popping up.

Where did you get this Mac? It sounds like you purchased a used, possibly stolen Mac that is under management by its corporate owner.
