2008 Macbook pro Spinning color wheel
2008 Macbook pro will load to the desktop after login, but the spinning color wheel spins nonstop. I can access application on the dock, but i cannot click on any functions on the top toolbar. I restored the OS but it just sat at a grey loading screen after installation. Cant get into disk utility to verify/repair disk. How can i solve this issue?
Have you tried to boot the MBP with the OPTION key down? If successful, it should display two HDD icons. Select the recovery partition, on the right, and then select Disk Utility from the 4 option menu. Run Disk Utility>First Aid>Verify and Repair.
Ciao.

Late 2008 Macbook Pro - Spinning Beachball - Why?
Over the last few months I've noticed a rapid decline in the performance of my macbook pro. I've used it to produce music on it without issues so it should still be quite a capable machine. At first I thought it might be my new WD 750Gb scorpio black hard drive but I've since reverted back to my original factory hard drive and the problem is the same. I have been using CCC rather than doing a fresh install so I don't know whether doing a fresh install will help. When I first started out I have leopard - is Lion or Mountain Lion (which I currently run) more processor intensive? I get this spinning beachball often when I'm not doing anything particularly heavy on the cpu. When opening apps and sometimes they don't respond and when I click launchpad sometimes the icons are blank until it has time to visually update them. Ableton often takes up to 5 mins to open but its usually about a minute or so these days. I've reparied all permissions, verified hard drives, reset my PRAM & SMC and tried 2 different hard drives. The battery is on 'replace now' and I notice it may be swollen as sometimes it intereferes with my trackpad functioning (clicking). My 250GB hard drive has about 40gb free on it too as I tried deleting things to free it up. The decline of the battery may coincide with the decline in performance but I can't say for sure if they are related.
I know my laptop is old now but it was working prefectly not that long ago. Is there any kind of log or screenshot I could post to give you more information to help?

Empty the trash in the Dock as well as iPhoto’s trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.). Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular FREE storage sites.
Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website. Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight! Better yet, download this FREE software called Find File. This app puts Spotlight to shame (works w/Mountain Lion).
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
Dropbox is a free storage utility to check out.
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Slimming your hard drive
Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.
=======================
The battery is on 'replace now' and I notice it may be swollen as sometimes it intereferes with my trackpad functioning (clicking).
You should not be using your computer until the battery is replaced. If it is indeed swollen and/or leaking, it will cause serious internal damage.
Have you tried the following?
Mountain Lion Recovery
Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys. This will take you to the recovery drive.
Select Disk Utility & hit Return.
In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right). -
2008 macbook pro spinning ball and now won't completely start up.
i woke my computer up this morning and it wouldn't respond. it started with the spinning rainbow pinwheel, but now it won't log in. the farthest it's gotten is the desktop but it's blank - no icons, dock, or top bar. is there a way to troubleshoot this or does it sound like a hardware issue? does it sound like the hard drive is crashing?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
MacBook Pro with spinning Color Wheel - and Java?
My MacBook Pro has recently developed a spinning color wheel when it's "thinking". At the same time, my system seems slower now. I have more than 60% storage still available. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I live in a rather large town and have Comcast Xfinity which is satisfactory and has never gone out.
My other question is regarding JAVA. Is it necessary? What's it for? I constantly get messages that Java need updating …is this something I can remove? If so, how do I do this safely and completely?
Thank you!

2008 macbook pro 15" (Santa Rosa) weird display color and vertical lines
I have the 2008 macbook pro 15" (Santa Rosa). After my upgrade to mac os x lion (10.8.2), I noticed that periodically the screen either turns to weird display color and have horizontal lines on screen. This happens mostly during start up and lasts for about a min or two. Does this happen because of a faulty graphics card? I have NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB card on this macbook pro. Please advice
Nope - it sounds as if you've GPU issues and the discrete GPU is soldered onto the logic board. take your new machine into your local Apple Store for a replacement. Don't wait too long!

Spinning Color Wheel appears frequently on my Mac Pro
I am using an early 2009 Mac Pro with a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB 1066 MHZ DDR3 ECC memory, and a 1TB hard drive. I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5. Recently when I am on the internet (Safari 6.1.6) I more frequently have screens freeze and the spinning color wheel display. I have owned the computer since late 2009 and have really not done anything (maintenance, etc) to it, as I don't know what I should do, if anything. After reading on this forum about the necessity for hard drive backup I have just ordered an AirPort Time Capsule and should have it later this week. I downloaded and ran EtreCheck and copied it to my clipboard. I don't know whether I should increase memory to avoid this or if there is some other problem. Can you give me some direction?
Thanks.Clone the system to the SSD (250GB $120 EVO 850 Samsung) using CCC -

Might be a good time though to do a clean install and then use Setup Assistant
No maintenance?
Always have a couple bootable system drives, one for maintenance, one from last month or just prior to when you last made changes to the system.
Take a look in Activity Monitor for pageouts, disk usage, and what is running
And start TimeMachine backup routine,
Copy your data to a new 2TB drive like WD Black ~$120 also
Leave the old drive as is for now, later you can erase and try using for a backup -
Late 2008 Macbook Pro doesn't boot after installing Mavericks
I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, dual core 2.53 GHZ, 4 GB Ram (2x2).
I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this computer to boot up. Many things have been tried here. So here's the history.
Before starting this, I was running 10.6.8 on this computer.
First time I tried to install Mavericks, the installation failed, and when the computer went to restart, it just went in a loop, never really booting up, just getting the to gray screen with the apple symbol, spinning the wheel, and then going black again, restarting, and repeat. So, I took it into the Apple Genius Bar, and they diagnosed a bad battery. I replaced the battery, and had them do a clean restore back to 10.6.8.
I got it home, and tried to do an install again. This time, I downloaded the installer, and put in on an external firewire drive, and attempted to do a clean install of Mavericks. I ended up with the same boot failure problem.
I went back to the apple genius bar, and even though the diagnotics said my harddrive was fine, they said in the troubleshooting list, that the harddrive with the first thing they suspected. So, I replaced the harddrive. I did the Mavericks install again from an external HD, and for a moment, everything was great. It booted up into Mavericks. But, after my first restart, the problem was boot failure was back.
After reading a few articles, I tried booting in Safe mode. That worked. I also ran disk repair on the HD and it looked great. Still, it won't boot up out of Safe mode.
After being very frustrated, I tried just installing snow leopard from the dvd, but the install keeps failing.
Not sure what to do next.Micajah10,
rather than a hard drive problem, you might have a faulty internal SATA cable. Do you have an external disk enclosure, or a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter? If you can boot from your hard drive without problems when it’s external, but it remains problematic internally, then that could point to the internal SATA cable as the culprit. -
Why do I get the Mac spinning color wheel for 40 secs or more?
Vers 7.0.1 completely stops my MacBook Pro and shows the dreaded spinning color wheel. I turned on my Activity Monitor and have traced the "time out" to Firefox. Not a plugin, per se, but to Firefox.
I have NEVER had this problem before this upgrade. I turned OFF the syncing, thinking that could be the problem (I had been notified several times - 10? - that the syncing server wasn't working properly, so I thought of it).
Any suggestions how to stop this. TOTALLY annoying. Happens ever few minutes even when I have the browser open but am working in other programs.
It takes more than 100% of my CPU usage.
Help!

Wireless Internet Lags with Spinning Color Wheel, but only on My MBP
I've noticed for the past 2 weeks or so my internet connection has been really laggy and it takes forever to do anything. If I click on something, the spinning color wheel shows up. If I scroll up or down the page, the spinning color wheel shows up. I've tried clearing cache and it'll speed things back to normal for a few hours, but it'll go back to being really slow.
Right now the spinning color wheel isn't showing up, but it might as well be cause the wait time is the same. It'll take roughly 5-10 seconds to scroll.
I'm using Firefox as my Internet browser if that makes any difference. When I check the Activity Monitor, the %CPU for it ranges from 14.9 to 76.9 to 105.7. That's the only thing with more than 1%CPU? As for System Memory, I have:
FREE: 287.6 MB, WIRED: 764.4 MB, ACTIVE: 2.11 GB, INACTIVE: 885.8 MB, USED: 3.73 GB (the numbers keep changing though)
The other laptops using the same wireless connection don't have the same problem however. One's a Windows Vista machine while the other is also a MacBook Pro (though one year newer than mine).
Does anyone have any idea what might be affecting this and how I can fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!Clone the system to the SSD (250GB $120 EVO 850 Samsung) using CCC -

Spinning color wheel - jnl unknown-dev
I've been seeing the infamous spinning color wheel a lot lately. I recently replaced a disk due to bad sectors and then found out after that I had a bad memory module. I had a lot of corrupted songs in itunes and that's how I originally realized I had disk issues. I had a friend run a tool for diagnosis and we then replaced the drive.
I put new ram in the machine and it's been running a lot better, less spinning wheel madness. It didn't seem to be swapping before putting the second gig of ram in, I was watching in the menubar. It always had about 300+ gigs free. ( now I'm back to 2 gigs ). That last long spinner happened while I was playing songs in itunes:
Jan 3 15:57:12 macbook-pro-17 kernel[0]: jnl: unknown-dev: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5
do I still have some disk corruption perhaps in my itunes library? it was copied off then copied back to the new disk. I did purchase Drive Genius 2 and when that comes in a few days I'll run that.

Early 2008 MacBook Pro has no chime/keyboard/USB/video
Since I can no longer view the relevant Apple TS for the famous NVIDIA GPU problem, I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is with my early 2008 MacBook Pro running Mavericks.
I was using it last night to watch a recorded news show while getting ready for dinner and the news show seemed to stop early. Didn't think anything of it at the time because it was time to eat, however I noticed that the browser was still open and the screen was still on, as would have been expected.
After eating, I went to wake up the computer and, while it seemed to be sleeping, which usually happens after about 15 minutes, it wouldn't respond to the keyboard or trackpad. Before long I realized that it also had no USB power. I also can't connect via FireWire or Ethernet.
Since it will not respond to the keyboard, there are a number of options which are not available to me (like resetting NVRAM or starting in Target Disk Mode, etc.).
Since there is a CD inconveniently already in the SuperDrive, I can't start up from the system disc.
I have removed/replaced the RAM, tried resetting the SMC numerous times, and I've quadruple-checked that the keyboard/trackpad ribbon is attached to the logic board. Not sure what other options are available to me.
The main reason that I think it is not the NVIDIA problem is because it seemed in those cases that the keyboard would light, at least the Caps Lock key, and I have nothing except the sleep indicator by the latch and the sound of the optical drive spinning up and then eventually spinning down, oh, and the fans seem to be working.
Any suggestions? Relevant details left out?No chime means your Mac has not passed it's startup diagnostics.

Early 2008 MacBook Pro won't boot after Lion 10.7.1 update
My 2.4 GHz 4GB RAM Early 2008 MacBook Pro wont boot after downloaded the Lion 10.7.1 upate. Upon restarting the screen went dead and now the system does not boot, as if the bootloader has been wiped out. Screen appears dead but was known to be working before hand. The hard drive spins up but doesn't sound like it is searching for data.
Can anyone help me?Okay, I tried everything I can think of last night. I removed every startup process and every tool or programm that goes deeper into the system (GlimmerBlocker, LittleSnitch, Parallels). Cleaned Up every Cache I could find and refreshed every necessary Cache or Database possible. Took me a couple of hours. But still no luck - the machine doesn't boot, just in safe mode. Right now I copy all my personal stuff to a new external harddrive because TimeMachine doesn't work, after this I will do a clean install of Lion.
It's not hardware related, it's the 10.7.1 update that doesn't work properly. By the way, the only errors remaining are:
WindowServer - kCGErrorFailure
ManagedClient - kCGErrorFailure: CGSPackageGetWorkspaceType: couldn't get workspace type
SecurityAgent - kCGErrorFailure: CGSPackageGetWorkspaceType: couldn't get workspace type
and a lot of:
com.Apple.SecurityAgent.00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000186A7: CoreAnimation: rendering error 506
that's also the last one I get before the system hangs… -
I have a periodically appearing spinning color wheel. Every 3 minutes or so. It appears for a very short time. I can not trace its source. I have seen in the youtube there are some worms which are designed to do a screenshot etc. periodiaclly. Can it be something like this? Is there a way to trace the cause of this spininning wheel? It does not appear in the task manager. Also, is there a netstat -ap equivalent in OsX? There are lots of udp ports open, and I don't have a clue what they are. Also, I don't have a clue which programs are connecting to that addresses I don't recognize. What are those open streams in the /tmp and /var/tmp?. I've tried sophos and clamxav, all reported no malware.
System 2012 Retina Macbook with 16 gb ram
OsX 10.9.1
The open applications are firefox and chrome browsers (sites:Grooveshark and Gmail) imessage skype Mad Catz mouse software. Synology icloud. Nothing dissimilar I've been using for many years.

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. 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. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. 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. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
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.
10. The test will 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, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, 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.
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.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: 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 don't necessarily agree with them.

My 2008 MacBook Pro Won't Turn
Hi everybody,
I have a 2008 MacBook Pro, and it just won't turn on. When I hit the power button, the white LED light in the front flickers for a second, and then shuts off.
If I hold down the power button, the computer sounds like it will turn on and the disc drive starts spinning, but within 5 seconds the lights begins to flicker and the whole thing shuts off again.
I have tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm getting desperate!
Thanks!You did the SMC Reset, however there are other "no start" links from Apple, including MagSafe issues
If none of those work and your machine charged overnight with still nothing, then it's a call to hardware repair.
