If you are having trouble unfreezing your Mac, we recommend following these steps:

  1. Shut down your Mac. This will help to freeze the computer and prevent it from starting up again.
  2. Open the System Preferences app and select the Keyboard & Mouse tab.
  3. In the Keyboard section, select the check box next to “Frozen keys.” If your keyboard is not frozen, you can still use it by pressing any key on your keyboard and then clicking on the “Unfreeze” button.
  4. In the Mouse section, select the check box next to “Frozen buttons.” If your mouse is not frozen, you can still use it by pressing any button on your mouse and then clicking on the “Unfreeze” button.
