How to remove an app that I cannot close. I installed a sound equalizer app that I no longe need. When I try to move it to the trash. I get the message "The item “Boom 2.app” can’t be moved to the Trash because it’s open." However it does not appear on the dock. When I try to do a force quit it does not appear in the force quit list of apps. How can I force a close so I can uninstall the app?

Apps reopening after quitting Hi all -- I'm used to using ⌘Q to quit apps, but for the past few months this has given me trouble. It started with Apple Music and Spotify, which would immediately reopen after hitting ⌘Q. Sometimes a second attempt would fix it, sometimes I'd have to force-quit bc they'd never stop reopening. Because they were both music apps, I thought it was due to a third-party music-tracking app I use, but lately it's been happening with Preview and Safari as well. Luckily the only one nowadays that gets stuck in a loop of reopening after quitting is Music. And here's the kicker: if I right-click on the app icon and select "Quit," it quits without a problem. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with being in fullscreen, as I typically use my apps in fullscreen, but I have never had this issue with Firefox or any apps other than the ones listed. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? This has been going on for months across various OS updates. Thanks in advance!

How do I shut down an app that won't quit? I have an app that I can't shut down. I can still drag it around by click-holding on the top panel. It doesn't have the three dots on the left of the top panel, so I can't close it by clicking on the red dot. When I click on the icon on the bar at the bottom of the display, the menu pops up so I can choose Quit, but it won't shut the app down. I've tried several times. Is there any other way I can shut the app down?
