5 Steps to Fix a Crashed and Inactive Mac Error

This guide explains 5 steps to fix a crashed and inactive mac error with practical context and clear actions. Use the points below to avoid common mistakes and make better decisions.

So how to fix this error, please refer to the following article of Network Administrator.

1. An Error Occurs on an App or the Entire System?

The first problem is to determine whether the entire macOS operating system is affected or if only one app is affected.

MacOS is a modern, fairly intelligent operating system in memory management used by apps. In most cases, if only one app crashes (the reason is usually because the app takes up too much memory and gets stuck in a loop), then you will receive a warning message for you. Know that the app is closed unexpectedly.

Conversely, if the Mac crashes without any warning, the problem may be the operating system.

To fix this error you have 2 choices:

- select Reopen To restart the app and send the report to Apple.

- select OK To dismiss the notification window.

2. Fix a Crashed Mac: Stop Sending Crash Reports to Apple

By default macOS sends a report to Apple whenever the app is suspended. Apple uses these data to manage macOS development and provides users with a more stable operating system version in the future.

In addition, if you do not want to send suspended app data to Apple, you can turn off the auto-report feature on System Preferences:

1. Open System Preferences .

2. Select Security & Privacy .

3. Select the Lock Icon in the bottom left corner of the window and enter the Admin password there.

4. Select Privacy => Diagnostics & Usage .

5. Uncheck the Send diagnostic Option & use data to Apple and Share crash data with app developers .

6. Select the Lock Icon again to close the System Preferences.

From now on when the Mac crashes, on the screen you will get the Reopen button and the Report button. Select Report to send the report to Apple, select Reopen to reopen the program.
