Rebooting a Device
How to Reboot Devices
A reboot is the process of restarting a working computer using hardware (e.g., a power button) instead of software. Rebooting is sometimes necessary after installing a software program, installing operating system updates, to recover from an error, or re-initialize drivers or hardware devices. Use this guide for steps on how to reboot a Chromebook, Windows or Mac device.
There are 4 ways to reboot a Mac depending on how responsive the device is.
Option 1: Restarting through the menu bar
Click the Apple icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
In the dropdown menu that appears, click Restart.
The computer will shut down and come back on a few moments later.
Option 2: Restarting with a keyboard command
Simultaneously hit the Control key and the Eject button, which is in the top row of the keypad and has an upward facing arrow on top of a thin line.
Select Restart in the popup window.
