Is there a key combination for MAC that's like CTRL-ALT-DEL for Windows?

mozadek · 05-01-2009, 09:01 PM

command + option + esc

Why would you ever have to force quit something on a MAC though?

Dunno, but you will plenty... atleast I have.

WarChild · 05-01-2009, 09:17 PM

So let me get this straight. When programs stop responding on a MAC I use what key combination???

candyflip · 05-01-2009, 09:20 PM

Command + Option + Escape

hankphone · 05-01-2009, 09:23 PM

you're + hating on + mac?

is that what's going on here?

WarChild · 05-01-2009, 09:24 PM

Okay so I can use Command + Option + Escape to force close non responsive applications on my MAC.

So let me make sure I have this absolutely crystal clear. I get way less variety of applications on a MAC and they can be expected to perform in the same way as they might on a PC and require from time to time a force quit command key sequence.

Thanks for helping me out guys!

+ your brand new mac may all of the sudden crash causing you to loose all your data after just a few months of little use...

I still prefer it over pc/windows though

candyflip · 05-01-2009, 09:29 PM

The only Mac app I ever have crash and have to force quit is Adium. It crashes on multiple machines.

Sweet. Can I pay twice as much for all that?

hahaha... I switched to a mac about three months ago. I can do anything if not more on this thing than I ever could on a pc. There are programs for everything that there are for pc and generally they are 100% more stable and have better features. The only program I have ever had to force quite was some crappy little open source tool that I just deleted because I found a stable alternative. If you gave it a chance and spent a little time learning to use it and researching available software you would never use a pc again. The time saved by a mac is sic. Between the four or more desktops u can set up, crazy shortcuts, mouse gestures, ability to run about 50+ apps at the same time with no performance decrease (I haven't tried more than that) and a stable operating system you will get more shit done. Don't hate what u don't understand man.

I replaced one of my PCs about 6 months ago with a Mac Pro & 2 Apple Displays. A few days ago I replaced another one of my PCs with an iMac. I can't believe how stable these computers are and how well built they are. I'll probably replace my laptop this summer with a MacBook Pro. I wish I had done this years ago.....

riddler · 05-01-2009, 09:44 PM

use both pc and macs, i like PC more, windows is only as bad as the user makes it, if you are moron it will be bad.

I've switched completely to just a macbook, I don't think I'll ever buy a desktop again either. You are going to love it. If for nothing more than u get about 5 hours battery time on a single charge.

I have 5 pc's, most of the time rendering hundreds of animation frames, 24/7. They never crash. I don't get what you're saying.

Hahahah - funny. I flew from LA to Memphis on Christmas to visit the family and a guy next to me watched DVDs on his MacBook the whole way....4+ hours. I was like WTF. I'm lucky to get 2 hours of battery life on my windows laptop.
