As we all know who use Macs, the Finder (just like the Start Button in Windows) can be a very important area to learn and use on a Mac. Â It can also be a pain in the ass too.
Sometimes, you have to quit the Finder for the below reasons:
- Not enough RAM.
- Low system storage.
- Corrupt system preferences.
- Hung background applications.
You can quit the Finder by doing the following:
- Open Finder, press and hold the Option Key.
- Select the Main Apple Menu () and press Force Quit Finder.
- The Finder will now restart.
- That's it.
You can also quit it by doing the following:
- Press the [Command] + [Tab] keys.
- Move to the Finder icon.
- Press [Command] + [Q].
- That's it.Â
If you do the above, the Finder may not restart. Â In that case, do the following:
- Press the [Command] + [Spacebar] keys.
- Spotlight search opens on the desktop.
- Type: Finder
- That's it.
