You can confirm this by looking for a tiny dot right below the app icon on your Mac’s Dock. You may have tried closing the app window but that doesn’t really quit the app on your Mac, and the app itself may still be running, and of course if it’s frozen then attempting to do anything with the app may be unresponsive anyway. Let’s take a look at the basic troubleshooting steps you can follow whenever one of the apps installed on your Mac becomes stuck, frozen, or unresponsive.

Troubleshooting Frozen & Unresponsive Apps on Mac If you’re unable to get a frozen app working properly on your Mac, read on to learn some tips to troubleshoot and handle frozen apps on macOS machines. Regardless, there are some things that you can try to get the app to function properly again. This can happen for any number of reasons where an app stops responding, whether the app is buggy, it’s overloaded, some component of the app isn’t functioning, the app is running on beta system software, or for no apparent reason at all. MacOS works seamlessly without any hiccups for the most part, but sometimes apps may completely freeze and stop responding to user input or your actions.
