Error message

An error message is a dialog box that is displayed when an error has occurred.

Examples

 * Early versions of classic Mac OS were prone to crashing and may display a System error dialog box with a bomb icon.


 * A browser error message that indicates that you aren't connected to a network has a reading glass and a Safari compass.


 * Another error message has a yellow triangle with a ! sign inside.


 * An error message displayed by early iOS apps displays: "An error has occurred. [program name] must quit."


 * In modern macOS, a crashed program may be followed by the message: "[program name] quit unexpectedly."
