Hi. I recently reinstalled the OS (not that I planned this) and was having a lot of computer freezes and had to use the power off button.
Things are better now.. and also reading the Missing Manuel helps to understand MAC too.
however I still have programs freeze on me. Right now IPhoto (which opened automatically when the card reader when in) won't close. I tried Command Option escape and i get the menu but nothing happens. Then I went to activity monitor and tried to quit the process in red and that would not work.
So what to do? I have run the disk utility a few times to make sure my HD is fine..etc. (things I learned here, thank you). (of course now I use Time Machine too.. learned the hard way).
Also sometimes when a program freezes then it makes it impossible to shut down the normal way.
Thanks for any suggestions about what to do when FORCE QUIT won't work as I seem to have this often.
