How to Exit a Stuck E-Mail client on MacOS Sierra

LinuxTerminalIconUsually, Macs run and preform fine.  But sometimes, you may need to manually close an app because it has become stuck (or unresponsive).  Fortunately, Macs have an easy way to do this from the Terminal.

We'll be using Apple Mail for this example.

While in Apple Mail, you notice that you want to close the email client, but it doesn't close and the normal ⌘Q option is grayed out.

  1. Open Terminal (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
  2. When the Terminal Window opens, type: killall Mail
  3. The Mail app will then close.
  • Only do the above as a last resort, as it may corrupt some necessary files needed for Mail to open the next time you want to use it.

 

Comcast starts rolling out 1 Terabyte Data Cap Across the United States

ComCastNBCUnivLogoThe TV/Internet provider announced that a data cap would soon be implemented for its U.S. Customers.  Well, that promise has come to light as the company has announced that it will new putting a 1 Terabyte data cap on all of its customers by November 1st, 2016.

Comcast’s data caps are currently in effect in 16 regions with another 18 regions getting the bandwidth cap on the above said date.

The company settled on the 1 TB data cap after it experimented with various configurations over the past several years in various areas.

Comcast says only a small minority (less than one percent) of its customers actually use more than one terabyte in a given month. For now, then, the data cap shouldn’t be an issue for most people. One terabyte of usage is enough to stream 600 to 700 hours of HD video, play an online game for 500 days straight, or stream 15,000 hours of music, according to Comcast.

Anyone who wants to estimate their data usage can use Comcast’s online tool. Xfinity customers can also look at their actual data usage online by logging into their account.
