Aperture 3.1-OS 10.6.5-Spinning Pin wheel of Death

The main reason I switched to Aperture was for syncing between three macs. After the last updates every time I try to Import Libraries/Projects from my MBP, Aperture freezes when I select the library on the MBP. I have repaired permission and repaired the Library on the MBP. I have tried to import (sync) to two different iMacs with the exact same results. I am not having any issues with Aperture on the MBP and copied the MBP Library to one of the iMacs. I have not tried the third option the rebuilds the Library on the MBP.
Any suggestions, Thanks

Back to my mac is working fine. The HD of the computer I am trying to sync mounts and I can select the Aperture library. I can drag the file to the iMac and aperture will sync. I get the same results on two different networks. My home network and my office network. The issue is connected to the network but it is Aperture getting the spinning pin wheel of death on a function listed as a top ten reasons for using Aperture. Syncing was working fine until I installed 3.1 and or 10.5.6.

  • How to rid the SPOD Spinning Pin Wheel Of Death

    Hello,
    Have this what they call the SPOD Spinning Pin Wheel Of Death. Cant rid it. Don't know where it came from or what to do to get rid of it or stop it from spinning.
    Help!

    Basically, you print out the instructions if possible.  Start at the beginning.  Try one step at a time.  Sometimes troubleshooting articles are a bit overwhelming & a lot of info overload.  You also have a choice of doing a Google search for step by step instructions that you can understand.  No one here knows the level of "understanding" when we post solutions.
    Perhaps the steps mentioned in the following are easier to follow?

  • Spinning color wheel of death

    every time i try to open the mail i get the scwd. how do i solve this problem? right now i have to go thru my .mac acct to get my mail. very annoying.

    Yesterday, whilst trying to solve a problem with mail - which attachments sporadically and automagically become embedded BASE64 files I rebuilt my IMAP inbox - All worked well for about two minutes. Then the real problems began. Mail would present me the Spinning Colored Wheel of Death. Then consume my CPU to 95% and Not Respond. Interestingly enough - I was still able to receive mail. Just not able to respond.
    For the next few hours I scoured the forums. Reviewed the data collection bits and tried all of the solutions - none worked. I even tried to remove everything and start afresh but alas there are still some mail parameters lurking somewhere that seemed to keep ensuring the problem resurface.
    I even tried to repair my drive but could not - because the repair option was grayed out. Was able to verify, fix permissions and all of the other activities instead of sleep.
    I moved copies of Mail folders to the desktop - restarted. Nope. I moved my Preferences -> com.apple.mail.plist file - re-entered all of the information anew.Nope. Removed partial.emix files. Nope.
    All in all it appears that there are many with problems and no real straight forward troubleshooting - a lot of "try this" and "try that" approach.
    I would think that for a product that has numerous parameters and characteristics, there would be a better troubleshooting methodology.
    Finally I fixed the problem ...
    I went to http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ downloaded and installed Thunderbird - I am now back up and running.
    I guess to be proficient I need to really understand the architecture of Mac Mail. I'll let the problem vet it self out to those that have the time and revisit at a later date - maybe. Until then TB 1.5 will enable me to get work done - and get some sleep

  • Macbook Is freezing randomly and giving me the spinning rainbow wheel of death.

    Hi all. My Macbook (2009, right before they were changed to pros) is freezing at random times, sometimes when I'm on the internet, sometimes when I'm just trying to quit a program etc. It gives me the spinning wheel and when I go to the little apple in the corner to try and force quit my browser, or restart, it won't even click that, and remains frozen.  I replaced my hd about four months ago so I don't know what would be causing this. Is there anything I can do that doesn't involve me having to go to the Apple store?

  • Spinning rainbow wheel of death multiple times a day

    Hi, I'm on a 2-yr-old MacBook Pro, and for the last few months I am getting the rainbow wheel many times a day. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it. I'm fairly new to Mac, and so don't know the best maintenance routine.
    I discovered something called EtreCheck, and ran that. I'm including it below in case anyone knows what any of it means.
    Thanks for any help!

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I have a new MacBook(2012). Being a new Mac user, I do not know what to do when Safari doesn't open at all. The icon just bounces up and down and when the cursor is on the top main menu bar it is the spinning rainbow wheel.  Any ideas for help?

    When I try to open safari the icon stats bouncing and then nothing happens other than the cursor turning to a spinning rainbow wheel when it hoovers on the top main menu bar. I have shut down and restart several times. My safari worked yesterday and then today this, but with. I indication of a problem. I can't even get the browser window to open so that I can clear caches or reset anything. When I opened my computer this time I don't even get a bouncing icon. No recognition of selecting the program at all. If I go to spotlight and try to open safari from here I still get no response. Can you help?

    Hi ...
    If you have moved the Safari application from the Applications folder, move it back.
    As far as the cache goes, there's a work around for that when you can't empty the Safari cache from the menu bar.
    Go to    ~/Library/Caches/com.aple.Safari.Cache.db.  Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Try Safari.

  • Mac Book Pro constantly displays spinning wheel of death HELP!!!

    My Mac Book Pro (after installing Mavericks) displays the spinning wheel of death multiple times per day. I thought it was my Google Chrome, but now it has been happening no matter what application I am using. I used Etrecheck to see what is going on with my computer, but I don't actually know what the output means. I've copied the information below.
    More information: I no longer have a Blackberry, but I don't know how to remove any software that may still be on my computer (since I see Blackberry listed under Kernel Extensions). I also backed up my harddrive on the 28th, just to be safe.
    I would greatly appreciate any and all help with this. I'm in the process of trying to study for mulitple teacher certification exams, so this is the worst possible time for tmy computer to suddenly go haywire. Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to help!

    kmiddlet88,
    yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

    Can anyone help?

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

  • Performance is very slow, i continue to get the spinning color wheel whenever i try anything (email, browser, word, etc)  any ideas

    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?

  • I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

    I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

    Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

  • Spinning Beach Ball of Death (Mainly from idle)

    Hey folks..
    This might be a long one, so please bare with me !
    After about 3 fabulous faultless years of using my Macbook Pro, recently I've had lots of issues with the dreaded spinning beach ball of death !
    I wish I could say I was able to narrow it down to one application or one specific event, but sadly it's proving to not be that easy!
    Recently, the SBBOD has appeared MOSTLY when the macbook is sitting there idle. I tried all the suggestions I could find on the forums - ie not putting the HDD to sleep, etc etc.
    What generally happens, is I come back to the computer - and try to open an application (doesn't matter which one) and it bounces in the dock, and then the SBBOD appears, I can usually get to try and open other apps as this is happening, but in 20 seconds or so - everything is frozen except the mouse. I have tried leaving it for 5 mins, 10mins 2 hours, but in the end the only option is to manually turn off and swtich it back on. I thought it might have been just my user, but I tested when leaving it idle when other users logged on, and in the end - the same SBBOD
    This started happening about 3 weeks ago, when I was on Leopard (not snow).
    I tried to make sure the HDD was ok - so I install the SmartReporter app to monitor it - and nothing is pointing towards a HDD failure? SMART status is always showing ok.
    In the end, I backed up and formatted the HDD. I bought a copy of Snow Leopard and did a total fresh install. I didn't migrate any applications, just user data and re-install all Applications etc.
    I have Clean My Mac installed and MainMenu which runs all the repair permissions, and I keep it really clean and efficient since the fresh install - but still, the SBBOD is coming whenever I have the machine idle. I tried also, to install the smcFanControl to cool the CPU incase, it was over heating and then failing??
    So, in conclusion (thanks for reading this far !!) I really don't know what else to do?
    Seeing as it happened to all users logged in, I can assume it's not user specific?
    Meaning it could very likely actually be a HDD issue?
    Are there any good free diagnostic tools to see if it is a HDD issue?
    I'm almost tempted to buy a new HDD, and install that and not use the Migration Assistant to bring files across, but to just manually bring my information and documents.. thus creating the user from scratch? Are there any opinions on the Samsung SpinPoint M7's ?
    Honestly - I'm at a loss here, I can't see what else I can do?
    It's a Macbook Pro MA609LL from 2007 3Gb RAM, with a Samsung 500GB HDD (added way back in Nov 2008)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    CIAO!
    Alessandro

    I would try running the extended version of your Apple Hardware Test.
    It's not perfect but may flag something.
