Third method: Force quit the app from the Dock.

Hold down Option and right-click the application icon on the Dock. The "Force Quit" option will appear in the menu. Click this option to exit the application without popping up any prompts.

Fourth method: Force quit the app from the Apple menu.

Hold down the Shift key and click the app's menu (top left corner) to bring up "Force Quit [app name]". This method is also very easy to remember, but it is not the most useful method because sometimes when the application becomes unresponsive, its menu will become unusable.

Fifth method: Use Activity Monitor to exit the application.

Applications that have become unresponsive will usually be displayed in red, and then click the red "Exit Process" button.

If the previous methods fail, this method can work in most cases.
