Anyone else sick of seeing the coloured beach ball ?

Yosemite seems to be really slow doing almost everything. I am sick of seeing the coloured beach ball. Hope there is an update to improve this problem

  • Since i updated latest version 6.0.2, it keeps getting stuck and goes really slow and the coloured beach ball spins for ages, so all i can do is force-quit - how can i install the version before this version again?

    On a Mac Book pro - running 10.6.8
    Firefox was fine until the last couple of updates that happened without my consent (?).
    Suddenly there were weird errors and crashes of Flash
    and slow loading pages. Now it's gone into rubbish mode where
    the beach ball spins at the slightest fast type or double-click and then all i can do is force quit.
    It's as if it can't cope with anything anymore.
    How do i uninstall and keep my bookmarks etc and re-install an earlier version of it as it was before it got updated?
    Thanks

    Hey Thanks for the link thing!
    So i had tried it in safe mode, and thought that it was still in SMode but then realized that that stopped once i had closed it and reopened in aft/eve/ last night and started up again today, also. So i just tried it again in safe mode and it seems to not be doing it...but then it's so random anyway. But if i'm in safe mode like this there is no toolbar but i guess that's cool if that is what is making it sluggy and beach ball-y. But how do i stay in safe mode all the time? And if it is only in safe mode then does that mean i can't have the 3 addons i use - (java, QT, Flash- all the other vid things like divx etc are 'disabled' ) I thought those add ons were necessary to play/read things on the net?? Forgive my ignorance in this matter. But saying that, when it was going wrong, and i was clicking on audio links sometimes in the 'blank white page scenario' a popup would come and tell me that i would need ' QuickTime to play this track' and i would click 'continue' and it would link me to Apple to get QT...but i already have QT installed in my MBPro so i thought that was a bit weird...! when i just tried it now in safe mode it went straight to the audio link white page with player in the middle and played the track. But then as i said, it was a bit random before so i don't know if this was just a time when it worked...
    Anyway, what do you think about my questions on operating in safe mode...should i have to do that?! i'll stay in Safemode until i hear back from you and see how well it performs.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Why can't I download PDF files, and why does the "spinning beach ball" keep showing up?

    I have a late 2008 iMac, 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 500 Gig Hardrive, and I'm using OS X 10.6.8.  In addition, there are three external drives - 750 G Maxtor, 1T Maxtor, and 1T LaCie for Time Machine.  There are only 20 Gigs left of space on the internal hard drive.   The two problems I continue to have are that PDF files are not visible when I click on the download link, and I keep seeing the "spinning beach ball" when I'm trying to work with photos in iPhoto '09 or Lightroom 4.1.  Sometimes it seems like the system is waiting for the 750 G external drive to activate before the beach ball disappears.  Can anyone tell me what's going on?

    There are only 20 Gigs left of space on the internal hard drive.
    That'll slow you down a bit.
    See if disconnecting the LaCie helps.
    See how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

    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?

  • Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

    In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
    I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store.  They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
    Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
    Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site? 
    I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far.  Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not.  In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number.  Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake.  But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was. 
    Is Canon like that with other problems, as well?  Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience? 
    I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral":  EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

    Hi Danny.  Thanks for replying.
    I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years.  And, yes, it is the latest version.  Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT?  WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
    I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account.  Yet, I NEVER placed those orders!  WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM??? 
    Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place!  But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you! 
    "Award-winning" support???   And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS???  The OSTRICH?
    Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
    Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

  • Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

    Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

    Well, it doesn't work consistently here.  I have Dock Hiding on.  When a screen does not contain a full screen app, it works fine.  Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen (where I have the dock) pops up the dock as expected.  If the screen has a full screen app in place (usually Mail or Safari), the behaviour is very inconsistent.  Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen, waving it back and forth, up and down, with the odd click, will bring up the dock in maybe 10 to 15% of attempts.  Take the app out of full screen, and it works perfectly.  Put it back in full screen, stops working.  This is a new MacBook Pro with 10.7.1
    Any ideas welcome.  Meanwhile, Im getting used to the four finger squeeze to bring up the Launcher.

  • Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    When is sunlight, absolutely. Not a problem with the Droid Ultra but rather all phones.
    You ever see the commercial about the Nook devices. The have a special screen to reduce glare allowing you to see your screen in sunlight.
    As far as I know, companies have not implemented this on anycell phone.
    There are after market anti-glare screen protectors
    Check Amazon or eBay, they should be relatively inexpensive.
    Good Luck

  • Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Hello, Kevandsheila. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when experiencing Home button issues.  The article below is labeled for the iPhone, but the steps are the same for your iPad. 
    The Home button is slow to respond
    If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
    If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
    If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
    Seek service is the issue is still occurring.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPhone to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPhone should wake up.
    If iPhone does not wake up, then iPhone should be serviced.
    If the issue persists after all the steps have been processed see the last section labeled issue not resolved.

  • TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

    Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

    I just started having this yesterday.  It's only happened twice, but it's annoying.  My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated.  Worked fine after that.  Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened.  I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter.  I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

  • Has anyone else had problems since the latest itunes/ipod update?

    since i got my ipod and itunes updated, ive had nothing but problems with my ipod. sometimes it freezes, and when i connect it to the computer its all of a sudden corrupted. Sometimes this happens when i connect it to my computer to charge, and gets stuck on the do not disconnect screen. Sometimes ill be listening to music or watching something on my ipod and itll turn off randomly for no reason, then the apple symbol will come on as if i turned the ipod on again. Right now my ipod is frozen on the do not disconnect screen, and i have no choice but to restore it, however it wont even show up on itunes when its frozen sometimes, like right now. Has anyone else had problems since the latest ipod update?

    As i've posted in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
    I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
    Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
    My big question here is :
    why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
    I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

    The first thing to try is to temporarily disable any antivirus or antispyware you have on your computer. Those utiltiies can block successful download.

  • I can't see the coloured balls on google search even though my safe search is showing locked on in settings

    My google settings are showing that safe search is locked on, but I can't see the coloured balls on google homepage. Do they not show up on iPad?

    Thanks, I read several other threads and all it took was to turn off the router and turn it back on again, 'simples'.
    Thanks

  • __Is anyone else having CS5 open the last file automatically (whether they want it or not)?

    Is anyone else having CS5 open the last file automatically (whether they want it or not)? - some of the time it appears this causes a crash as well!
    Is there a way to turn this off?

    I betcha you are a recent convert to Lion!
    It's a system wide "preference"; fortunately, there is an option somewhere in your System Preferences (*not* Illustrator's) to switch this totally annoying, bug-infested, problem causing "new improved what-the-xxxx-were-they-thinking" new feature off.
    I did that SO fast after installing Lion, I can't even recall where to change it. I NEVER ever want it back ON again, so no loss there.
