Best Answer

Users on a Mac computer can have their own accounts which allows the user to set up the Mac the way they want it. When they have finished working on the Mac they Log Out of their account so that nobody can mess with their stuff and another user can Log In to their own account.

When everybody has finished using the computer it can be Shut Down which closes everything and turns the power off.

When a user has finished using an application they would Quit the application so that it is no longer running.
