Terminal displays your CPU and RAM usage diagnostics. Go to your Applications folder, scroll down to Utilities, and launch Terminal. You can find the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of your screen. Press "Option, Command, and Esc (Escape)" at the same time or choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. Your Mac will verify that you really want to quit the process before exiting it. To find the Activity Monitor, click on the Spotlight icon (it's the magnifying glass icon on the top right of your screen) and type "Activity Monitor." You'll then be taken to a task manager window where you isolate the unresponsive app and click the Stop Sign button to quit. If the last few steps haven't solved your problem, you can open the Activity Monitor. Look through the list of options and select Force Quit. Press and hold the Option key and you'll see the Quit selection. Right-click (Ctrl-Click) on the app in your toolbar. Let's say Spotify is giving you a hard time. Choose Quit from the app's menu or hit Command (⌘)-Q. Before you escalate things and attempt to force quit, try to close the lagging Mac app normally.
