Huge slowdown/clunkines/colored wheel
I have no idea what has happened, but lately, my Mac's internal hard disk (1TB) can be clearly heard thrashing about doing god knows what, several times a day. It sounds like it is saving some colossal file or groups of files, but I have no such files or work with huge files at all.
I rarely use anything beyond Firefox, Open Office and Apple Mail on a regular basis. Sometimes iTunes.
I only have these apps open on a day to day basis and they are typically left open all the time, with FF having multiple tabs (around 20).
I also set the computer to sleep while these apps stay up and I sometimes log out of my account too, but not very often.
I do share the computer with one other person, whose usage is very similar to mine.
When this problem occurs, I can barely get a mouse click in before the computer starts behaving in a clunky/jerky manner, with lots of interruptions by the colored wheel. The usage experience is reminiscent of my experience some years ago when I was forced to use a windows PC - quite awful.
I have run Onyx to see if it can straighten/clean up anything. I have not run anything else but Onyx was able to verify the disk.
Can anyone advise what the **** is going on?
I sometimes have to wait 10-20 minutes for all of this thrashing about to cease, only for it to restart later for reasons that mystify me.

2012 MacBook Pro running extremely slowly with constant color wheel
I have a 2012 MacBrook Pro and yesterday it randomly began to function extremely slowly and has almost a constant color wheel. This does not just happen when on the internet, but happens with any function of my computer. Even the typing is lagging.
The following information might be helpful in attempting to find a solution:
-All of my updates are up to date
-I have tried turning off my computer and restarting it a few times, including trying it in SafeMode and there was no difference.
-My computer has never done this before.
-I did not have an abnormal amount of activity happening on my computer when it began to function extremely slowly.
Anyone have any ideas of what could be happening and how I can fix this?
Thank you!Are these typical problems that happen when there are problems with a startup drive or another hardware component?
Yes.
When the slowdown is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

Updated with Yosemite and think that's when my problems started with my IMac being very slow. The color wheel keeps popping up and spinning not allowing me to move forward on typing or moving between websites etc. Extremely slow and never had this problem before Yosemite. Any real answers to this out there? I was on the phone with apple support for two and a half hours the other day and it's not made any difference in what the tech had me do to resolve this issue.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The test results are on the Clipboard.
Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I may not agree with them.

Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
thanksNot directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

MAC spinning color wheel after CS2 file has been sent to printer or saved??
Using Illustrator 12.0.1 CS2. When sending or saving a file completed in CS2 I get a long drawn out (several hours) Mac spinning color wheel that holds the file ransom until it completes the cycle. I have had CS2 for several years but it suddenly started this shortly after a crashed HD (reloaded the saved CS2 & data to a 2nd Mac that was fire wired to the crashed Mac) and a new set of fonts was loaded. Thanks Scott
I occasionally get the Wheel of Death too and I think most people do to some extent, but it's usually because you have got too many applications running or there's something huge on the clipboard. You can easily clear your clipboard by copying one letter from a file name in the Finder.
But several hours of waiting sounds as if there's something more seriously wrong. If you restart your machine, can you tell me whether the file you were saving when the Wheel of Death appeared was successfully saved despite of the Wheel? -
Any way to enlarge color wheels?
Hey guys ~
So I finally made the plunge into Speedgrade. At first I didn't get its wonky, menu-less UI. And still there are parts of its baffling workflow that remind me of the way things were done with ancient software in the days of yore. But you know what? I'm actually starting to like it. It still needs some fixin', but I dare say I think I'm starting to get it.
That being said, does anyone know if there's a way to increase the size of the color wheels? Let's face it, anything 10% outside of the exact center of the wheel is pretty much unusable (and that's being generous... it's probably closer to 5%). After that point, whatever color you're heading towards goes flat-out nuclear. So there's only an extremely small area in the wheel that's actually relevant to color correction. As a result, making the smallest of moves inside that area can drastically change your image.
My thought was to enlarge the wheel like you can in Premiere so I could get more accurate, but I haven't found a way to do that... making the wheels panel bigger doesn't increase the size of the actual color wheels. I also know about the sliders/edit boxes/curves filters, but I would still prefer to use color wheels over those options. Does anyone know if there's something I'm missing to make the wheels bigger, or have you found a way to use the wheels that works? Thanks for any help.Over in the Preferences panel, "Environment", you can change how fast the wheel movement works ... say, add another zero into the "Speed Reduction Ratio" number, and you slow down reaction to the input ... which to my taste makes them much easier to work with. That said ...you're right, in general, about the wheels going to Nuke color way too quickly.
Perhaps the scale is linear and should be a logarithmic one? Anyway, PLEASE feel free to file a bug-report over this ...
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
It would be vastly more useful to have a wider range of the wheel showing smaller changes ....
As to general workflow, there's times when I use the wheels, and other things where the sliders are better as I can guarantee hitting ONE color. This can be shifted one to the other by keyboard shorts ... and this program was originally written by/for colorists. Professional 'old-school' types ... where they used grading "surfaces" (the $2,000 variety), special keyboards, trackballs & million-button "mice" to work. Menus simply took up workspace, and when monitors were 17" diagonal 4:3 CRT's, well ... you fought for every pixel on that screen. Why have menus taking up valuable pixels when your users don't use menus?
I cannot more strongly recommend these resources ...
The starting point within Adobe's SpeedGrade info ...
SpeedGrade Help | SpeedGrade Learn & Support
Especially download the manual pdf ... and ... yea, it's more of a "we have these features that do X" sort of thing than a real-usable manual. Still, it gets into quite a bit of how the program works. ESPECIALLY ... read & print out the keyboard shortcuts. Using these speeds up your work and makes things a bit more precise. One experienced pro colorist said to me that the best list of what the tools in Sg are is the keyboard shorts list. He's not wrong, you know.
A book ... that is on color grading in general but is an immense store of usable knowledge to get work done in grading no matter the app used ... which shows the various tools available in various apps to do X process ... this was and is a huge resource for my progress in color grading in general and SpeedGrade in particular. Especially, coming from a stills-shooter background (35+ years, total family income ... many awards & such ... mattes not one whit in video!) I was used to the histogram ... which is the LEAST usable of the scopes for my now. Vector & parade ... wow, those tell you a LOT about your images.
http://www.amazon.com/Color-Correction-Video-Second-Edition/dp/0240810783
Also ... while video tutorials take time, they can be very useful. After watching tons, my preferences are for base starting, the AdobeTV ones on SpeedGrade ... and when you see Patrick Palmer, well ... he's the guy that started what eventually became Iridas and then SpeedGrade. He's a wonderful dude who speaks such fluent English it's hard to realize he's German except for the bit of accent, and well ... he knows "his" program, though he's recently moved on to other things.
Past that, in paid videos, I have found the lynda-dot-com ones to be the most useful, and there's several on SpeedGrade in particular and also in using it as part of the Direct Link process from PrPro.
My work setup, btw ... a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard with all sorts of extra programmable buttons & a spring-loaded zoom button that's heavily customizable to specific programs in the middle ... a Wacom pen-tab for my left hand with it's programmable features (that I've barely tapped into) and on the right, the Kensington Expert Mouse large trackball (2" ball) with a four-button surrounding area of large buttons. You might guess from this, I'm a lefty ... which means pretty ambidextrous. I'm still studying what I do & how ... but about read to start setting more program actions into those tools I've got.
I have a Dell U2312HM monitor, which can be quite nicely calibrated, and am going to pick up a cheap 1920x1080 monitor in the next few days so that I can have the 'main' display within the video programs (tools) on that probably 16" or so monitor, and above it this nice one with the program monitor locked to it. Switching the program to full-screen & back is a pain and I've done it for almost 3 years and I'm just ... DONE. With that.
Is this a full broadcast setup? No ... but then, my clients are TV stations either ... nor Sony Pictures or Pixar or Disney. This calibrates well, and my outputed material has always shown beautifully on my clients computers and TV's.

I have a MacBook Pro 2GHz i7 early 2011, 16GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and a 500GB standard. The OS is mountain lion and a month ago my finder is very slow, when moving a file appears the color wheel, also when you send a file to the trash. When you turn it on, the finder takes a long time to be active, the other apps work perfectly. When you turn it off stays white background with the spinning wheel, but never fails to go off. Heat much m'as than before and make lots of noise sinks. Sometimes also starts with the date changed to 2008, not always.
I tried to repair disk permissions, reset pvram even I formatted from a usb and the problem continues.
Please help.First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
A common cause of a slow user interface is a large set of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Another possible cause is iCloud activity, especially Photo Stream synchronization. If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane and see whether there's an improvement.
Otherwise take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message. You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
I am new to Using Apple. I've had my Imac for about 5 months, Recently when I log on to my Yahoo mail, if I click on any of my email, or if I try to compose an email, the color wheel turns on and it just freezes up, I am not able to view my email. This only happens with my Yahoo mail. Someone please help? Any Suggestions?
Hi Lizzy..
If you are using web based email (accessing from Safari), from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.

I am new to Mac and I have a Mini 2,1 Intel Core 2 Duo
It was working great then I was away for four months when I returned I don't know what happened a month later [a] I lost internet connection. When I checked in the Network Preferences it says "Ethernet" not connected, even though the cable is connected and works well when I use it on my PC
[b] the speed has dropped I now go for a cup of tea for it to load any program or file
[c] It invariably hangs up with the color wheel going on and on and on.
[d] do Mac's have any restore systems like PCs' or system recover?
I did not find help in the FAQ so I am reaching out to the Mac family for help. By the way I am in India and BSNL BB is my service provider.
Sincerely apprecaite any help I can get to learn to use and love a Mac!

Performance is very slow.
I continue to get the spinning color wheel on whatever I try.
It doesnt matter if its an email, browser or document of any kind it takes several seconds for anything to happen.Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts? -
My browser keeps pausing and giving me the color wheel every few seconds
Whenever I'm using Firefox my browser pauses every few seconds and if I am typing something nothing comes out, or the color wheel comes out (I'm on a Mac), if I'm watching a video it pauses every few seconds... it's sort of maddening. I do have about 20 tabs open at a time, I don't know if that is what causes it. It doesn't seem to happen when I am in Safari.
"the spinning wait cursor is displayed automatically by the window server when an application cannot handle all of the events it receives. If an application does not respond for about 2 to 4 seconds, the spinning wait cursor appears."

I deleted files from my MacBook Air after it said my start up disk was almost full. It did several xs, then the color wheel wouldn't stop spinning, so I closed it. Then after a sufficient amount of time, I tried to start it up again, only now the Apple start up wheel just spins non stop and nothing else happens. How or what can I do to get my MacBook Air to work again, without having to take it in? Thanks so much!
Backup your MBA then take it to Apple

Itunes giving me a color wheel when clicking on iphone in the side bar.
so recently ive been trying to back up my iphone. when i connect my iphone using a usb direct connect; i go to click on my iphone in the side panel in itunes and i get the color wheel and eventually i have to force quit itunes. ive tried to back up my iphone over the cloud and that doesnt work either. my computer (mac) recognizes my iphone (ie i can transfer photos through iphoto). I also can't get music to transfer or delete music off of the iphone through itunes. i feel as if the phone and itunes arent communicating. bascially anything i try to do through itunes doesnt work.
im running itunes 11.1.5 (5) and its 64 bit on a mac 10.8.3, the iphone is an iphone 5 running ios 7.0.4.
im trying to update due to the security hole in that version but i want to back up before i do it.
im thinking maybe the driver is corrupt? but then i feel that iphoto wouldnt respond if that was the case.
Please help! ive tried reinstalling itunes but that didnt work, also i tried doing an indepth deleting of itunes but osx wont let me delete the itunes application. ive looked all over these forums and cannot find any info on this...Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

I have an iMac. , mid 2007. Frequently, when I take an action, the little color wheel starts spinning and goes on for quite awhile. Save a file, close a file, open a file, open a window, it's all random. Somtimes it stalls, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes long, sometims short. Why is this happening?
Consider adding more memory. Be sure you have adequate free space on the hard drive - 15 GBs or 10% of the drive's capacity, whichever is greater. Do not run too many applications concurrently. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on resolving the SBBOD.
Do some maintenance:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
