Most of the time, apps for MacOS work as expected.  But their maybe times when an app doesn’t close (or gets stuck exiting) when you use the key combination [Command] + [Q].

When an app gets “stuck”, you can use a terminal command to bypass the normal quit command.  However, this option should only be used as a last resort as it could result in damaged or lost data.

Here’s how:

  1. Open Terminal (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
  2. At the command prompt, type: killall nameofapp
  3. Type EXIT when finished to close the terminal window.
  4. That’s it.
