Another way to recover from application freezes
Why wouldn't this work on a desktop too? Just put the machine to sleep from the Apple menu.
Another way to recover from application freezes
If you have a spinning beach ball cursor due to the system begin locked up you probably can't activate the Apple menu... however it might be worth trying the "immediate force sleep" keystroke which I can never remember off the top of my head (and only need in a situation where access to my web browser has become inaccessible because I've got a spinning beach ball.)
Another way to recover from application freezes
The "force sleep" keystroke is Option-Command-Eject, but if the Finder's the cause of the spinning beach ball, I wouldn't think it's likely to respond to the keyboard. (And yes, I had to look up the key combo at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343 .) |
