Safari "bricked"? (1 Viewer)

Just downloaded updates into the IMac and it is won't shutdown nor restart because "Need to exit Safari"...

Which is unresponsive...

???

Should mention that Safari has been "stalled" for 2 hours now. Went to open an email to print out flight info and it stopped.

The icon at the bottom does nothing, the top left "close/minimize/maximize" do nothing.

Command-Option-Esc and force quit...

When I figure out what buttons those are...

Command I assume is the "4 sided infinity" (best way to describe what it looks like next to space bar) I think???

Ahh, cool...thanks Steve.

Worked already. Didn't realize the buttons actually said command, option and escape...

Edit:
Should add...not my computer. The owner of said computer has never read the manual for it...

Cool, glad it worked.

And I never read the manual either.

This, besides Ipad/Ipod, is the first Apple computer in the house.

I've never used an Apple product full time. I listened to music via CrackBerry and Android...so I haven't even had an iPod. Use Itunes on a PC...but synced it into CrackBerry...then into Spotify(which made it so much easier).

So yea, I know "Apple processes are the right way"...but when you've been used to the wrong way...

By the way, my first computer was a Kaypro "trans"-portable back in 1987. And oh yeah. My computer was a hit on my dorm floor. IT had twin floppies( ) and the printer could finish a 10-page paper on "fine" by the time you were back from dinner...

I had a Commodore 64 in college in 1983-86, and an Olivetti Ink Jet printer that only printed 7x7 characters. Still, I used it for papers, and would not have survived a technical writing class without it.

When I was a junior/senior, we had a computer resource center with PC's and Mac's. The Macs had a networked laser printer. That is where I did my cover letters and resumes. I've been a Mac guy since early on.

I had a Tandy TRS 80 with cassette drive. All it basically would do was Q Basic and calculator functions.
I remember playing around with the Apple II and the MacIntosh at a mall when they only had green
text screens and thinking why would anyone need more than 128K of memory.

The mall store where I worked had an Apple IIe, an Atari 800, a Macintosh, and an IBM PC Jr (which at one point I sold). They sold software for all this and Commodore. Our big competition was Toys'R'Us, but where they offered prices, we offered the ability to test out software before you bought it. I worked there in 1985.

Click to expand...

Other methods to force quit are:Click and hold on the dock icon. A Force Quit option will appear after a few seconds. Option-click the icon to get to the Force Quit optionRun Activity Manager and kill Safari from within that.

terminal and kill -9!

Force Quit is also available always from the Apple menu (top left).

So many ways to kill applications, so little time...
