erm? ctrl+alt+del?

I was just wondering if there was a mac form of this. I was curious and pushed those buttons on the mac I use in my shop class but nothing happened.

 

Command + Option + Escape

 

there is a program that shows processes,if that is your question.

 

What's that, 'cause I was wondering if there was one too.

hmm,if I am not mistaken it is called "processes" in applications=>utilities

 

It's called Activity Monitor: Spotlight> "activity monitor">click on the top hit and there are all of your processes.

 

Thanks, +rep for both of you .

Sucks!I started to forgot mac "things"!!!!I need my MBP ASAP!!!!!

 

Useful information, though after 6 months I still haven't felt the need to ever ctrl+alt+del, thus have pretty much forgotten about it. Don't worry though, those instincts wake up immediately when I'm back on Windows again.

 

Force Quit as mentioned early has a shortcut of alt+command+esc.....same purpose as ctrl+alt+del for ending processes..........to MONITOR ACTIVITY ....launch the ACTIVITY MONITOR app

 

Actually, the correct way to bring up Task Manager in Windows is Ctrl + Shift + Esc. It has been this way for years.

 

They both do the same thing

 

there are a lot of Options in OS X, if you have an app that has crashed, you can usually just right click it and tell it to force quite, or bring up the force quit dialogue box with Cmd+Opt+Esc, or by going to the Apple menu.

if you ever need to re-launch finder, you can option right click it in the dock and relaunch.

and, if you really want to get down to business you can pull up activity monitor.

 

I've never had my mouse freeze up before in OS X to not be able to use force quit, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Whenever a program doesn't want to work with me, the first option I use is quit, and if that doesn't work, I go to Force Quit, AND if that doesn't work, my last option is a cold shutdown.
