If the problem persists after a force close, then it may be worth restarting the Apple TV player in general and seeing if that wider system level reboot fixes issues with apps misbehaving.įor reference, the app-switching mode can also be used to quickly jump between open apps, just like on other Apple devices. In theory, this may help to fix a performance issue the user might be encountering. For example, if an app is proving to be problematic, using the instructions above is a way to force the app to close and require the system to reboot it again when the app is launched. The app-switching view on Apple TV works just like it does on other Apple devices making it a good feature for managing the general experience. Closing and switching between Apple TV apps If swipes have been disabled by the user, they will need to press up twice quickly on the remote once in app-switching view and on the correct app to force quit the app. Press Back (or Menu) to close the app switcher again.Click left to navigate to the correct app.    set the my_apps to choose from list the_apps with prompt ¬     set the the_apps to the name of every process whose visible is true         - set the_apps to get processes whose visible is true         set visible of every process to true     if the (count of processes) is not 0 then This script does not target background processes. You can also customize it to just focus on the finder. Many times when my Finder craps out, other apps follow its lead. Then save it in your Script Menu items as aĬompiled script. (* The other option you can do is copy and paste this AppleScript into Script Editor.

Having said all that, if I want to re-launch my Finder while it is still responding, I like to use option+click & hold on the Finder dock icon, then select re-launch, as described elsewhere on this page. Better descriptions can be found by googling something like "unix signals kill term quit". There are summaries on the man pages man kill and man killall but they're not very useful to learn from. The kill command is named because of the nature of the default TERM signal, but in general it's used to send a variety of signals to programs. STOP Stop unconditionally and immediately continue with CONTĬONT Continue - continue executing after STOP or TSTP TERM Terminate - terminate gracefully, if possible KILL Kill - stop unconditionally and immediately "emergency kill." QUIT Quit - stop running (and dump core). Sent when you log out or disconnect a modem A summary of the ones for killing a program are: You can see a list of all signals (not all are for killing) with kill -l.

TERM and QUIT are designed to give a process the chance to clean up before exiting, whereas KILL will stop the process whatever it may be doing. KILL cannot be ignored by a program, the operating system will terminate it immediately. If the program does not respond to QUIT either, then as a last resort the KILL signal should be used. Killall -QUIT Finder killall -KILL Finder If the TERM fails to terminate a program, the next step would be to try QUIT. Killall FinderThe available signals for stopping a progam, in order of niceness are TERM, QUIT, KILL. The following command sends the default TERM signal: That AppleScript has the same effect as choosing the Quit menu item in the application, which I dont believe will work for a non-responsive application.
