End Downloads and Use: “Force Quit...”

If Safari is hung, then most likely it is either:

• stuck downloading something
• not responding; or
• something is stuck running in the background that is not responding

So...

I. End the Downloads:

1. Go To: View menu
2. Select: Show Downloads
3. Click: “X” to end a download

II. Switch to Finder:

1. Hold Down: Command button
2. Press: Tab button until Finder is Selected

II. Force Quit Something:

1. Go To: the Apple menu
2. Select: Force Quit...
3. Select: Safari or something else ending in “(not responding)...”
4. Click: Force Quit button
