Well this could be happening for a couple o reasons....
I would suggest force quoting any open applications and attempting then.
If that doesn't work create another user account and see if ut happens there too ( if it does then it's a system issue not user specific )
If it is user specific delete the com.apple.finder.plist and see if that helps.
I hope that this helps and I hope you can post your results

Under the Apple you will find "Force Quit" select Safari and quit.

Cannot quit safari 5.1.10. Quit option is grayed out on the menu. Any idea why this happening?

Press Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard to force quit Safari.
If that doesn't work, use the Activity Monitor as noted here > OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
It may be due to malware, or incompatible Safari extensions or plug-ins.

Firefox completely unresponsive - cannot Quit, use Safe Mode, Reinstall OR Uninstall

I installed Firefox less than a month ago. Two days ago it suddenly quit while browsing. This didn't seem like a problem, really - I thought I'd just restart it - but it REMAINS open. The icon shows in my dock (on Mac) and the menu bar appears when I click the icon. I can browse menu selections but cannot choose one.
I CANNOT:
- Quit Firefox - either from the menu or with Ctrl+Q
- Open New Window
- Open Help
- Access "Troubleshooting Information"
- Select "Restart with Add-Ons Disabled..."
- Use Safe Mode
Because I cannot use Safe Mode, and cannot Quit the program, I CANNOT:
- Uninstall (it refuses to delete, because the program is "open," as it won't quit)
- Reinstall (I cannot override the existing because the program is "open")
- Remove it from my Dock
- ...pretty much anything else.
I've read many articles discussing Troubleshooting, Safe Mode, Clean Reinstalls, etc., but unfortunately I cannot do any of these because Firefox remains open but completely unresponsive.
(PS - I tried to install the Troubleshooting Information below, but, again, because Firefox is unresponsive, I couldn't open it lol - there was "no available application" to read it. I cannot go through the manual steps because I cannot access the Troubleshooting Information on the Help menu and so cannot even begin step 1.)
If anyone has any suggestions, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thank you very much for your time and help!

If qutting it is cause issues try holding the option key while you click the icon on the dock and choose force quit from the list!
Also have you tired the Rest fire fox feature (that is if your able to get to it)
To do so:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

You'll have to upgrade your operating system first.
Most, if not all, Cloud apps require at least OS X 10.7.

Additional sounds download did not complete, cannot quit Garageband

Hello all,
I initiated the download for the extra sounds last night, and a separate window with my download progress popped up saying it would take about 4 hours. I left my computer on, went to bed, and checked for progress this morning. The progress window is nowhere to be found (already tried to bring all windows to front), some sounds are still greyed out, and I cannot quit GarageBand (GarageBand>Quit GarageBand is greyed out, as if the download is still in progress). Does anyone have any ideas how I can resume the download?
Thanks!

Hey there gww490,
It sounds like Garageband is not allowing you to quit it, and your sounds still aren't completely downloaded. I would start by force quitting the Garagaband application:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411
Switch to another app, such as the Finder, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.
Then restart your computer and try again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Cannot quit preview/shut down computer

I cannot quit preview. Force quit does not work and neither does killall command in Terminal. This means I also cannot restart or shutdown the computer. Holding down the power button did not work either. What can I do at this point?

Actually Force quitting is dangerous and may cause library corruption and should be used as a last result - any idea why you can not quit? What strange happened? What did you just do? any other information? How long has it been impossible to quit?
Force quit may be required but best to explore first

Since using Maverick OS, I cannot quit mail without "force-quit".

Since I downloaded and started using Maverick OS, I cannot quit Mail without using the "Force-Quit..." command. The "Quit Mail" command under the Menu is greyed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can also force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
Select the CPU tab.
Select Mail under Process Name.
Select Mail then click the force quit icon (circle with an x) top left side of the Activity Monitor window.
