How to Close Multiple Apps on a Mac
Mac operating systems are designed to multitask and frequently run a number of applications simultaneously. Each application runs as an icon within your system's dock and you can easily exit it from this location. If an application is unresponsive, you can turn this feature into a "Force Quit" query, which causes the application to terminate no matter its current status.
