Getting Your Mac Unfrozen
Open Activity Monitor on a sluggish machine. If you are still able to open
things on your computer, but it is running really slow, you can use the Activity
Monitor to see what is eating up your system resources. You can find the
Activity Monitor in the Utilities subfolder of your Applications folder.

Force quit the frozen program. Most freezes are caused by a program that
has failed to run correctly and is causing your system to lock up. You can
force quit an active program by pressing Command + Option + Esc. Select
the program that is not responding and click Force Quit.

Reboot your Mac. If you are not able to move the mouse on the screen or
resume any sort of functionality, you’ll need to reboot your Mac in order
to get things working again. Since you most likely can’t access the Shut
Down menu, you’ll need to do a physical shut down.

Preventing It from Freezing
Clean up some space on your hard drive. If your primary drive has less than
10 GBs of space, you’re probably going to start experiencing some slowdown.
The less free space you have, the higher the chance that you will encounter a
problem.

Check if your document is corrupted. If you always encounter freezes while
opening a certain document or file, but other files work fine, then that file may
be corrupted. Avoid opening the file, and delete it if possible. You may be able
to recover some of the data, so check online for processes related to the file
type.

Update your software. Make sure you are running the latest version of OS X,
and that all of your installed software is up to date. You can update your OS X
and Mac Store software by opening the Apple menu and selecting Software
Update.

Boot into Safe Mode. Safe Mode will run diagnostic checks on your hard drive
and folder structure, and will only load the files necessary for your computer to
start. This can help you determine if another program is causing your computer
to freeze

Reinstall your operating system. If all else fails and you simply cannot get
your computer to stop freezing, you may need to wipe your drive and reinstall
your operating system. You will lose all of the data on your hard disk, so be
sure to save everything you need to an external drive or upload it to the cloud.

Upgrade your RAM. In some cases, your computer may simply not have
enough memory to run the programs that you want. If you are finding that you
are often maxing out your available memory in the Activity Monitor, you
might want to consider adding RAM. Your computer will need to have
available slots for the RAM to be installed.
