The first thing I normally do when my computer says an application isn't responding is to Force Quit it.

You can do this by going to the Apple icon up the top left of your screen and clicking Force Quit. A list of applications that you have open will then appear and you select the application that is not responding (Minecraft, in this case) from the list and click the Force Quit button on that window to confirm.

If that doesn't work then I'd recommend turning your computer off and on again as well. The only thing your computer should ask for when you restart is your password. Is there other information it's asking you for?

its because its by apple

[SergeantEagle]

maybe its the launcher’s problem so if so close the launcher and open it again
