How to Restart a Frozen Mac

Steps

1. Find the power button. On an iMac it is found on the back of the computer near the left bottom corner. For a MacBook Pro, it is on the right speaker. On a MacBook, the power button is at the top right corner of the base, near the screen. If you're using a MiniMac, it is on the back, near the top right corner. Last but not least, the power button for a Mac Pro is on the front.

   Restart your Mac by pressing the power button again and releasing it quickly.
   • If it still not restarting, you will need to troubleshoot other possibilities but two good things to check are a) power supply (you might have knocked it out accidentally while turning the computer off) or b) a dead battery could be the cause of the freezing and then not coming back on again. If you're lost, see a certified Mac repairer for help.
