Continual Spinning Wheel
Every time I try to do anything simple in Pages I get the dreaded Spinning Wheel.
Just trying to go to the 2nd page, or highlighting a paragraph produces the spinning wheel.
Any ideas how to cure this?
As the problem is in your user account, try to
quit Pages
delete these three files :
Macintosh HD:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts
Macintosh HD:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.Pages:
Macintosh HD:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.LSSharedFileLi st.plist
restart Pages

Why when I open my slideshow do i get the continuous spinning wheel and have to force quit
why when I try to open my slideshow do i get a continuous spinning wheel that won't go away and am unable to view my slideshow that took me 24 hours to create.
Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If the problem doesn't persist in the test library then your current library is the culprit. In that case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

when i open iPhoto on my iMac i dont get a menu on the LHS of the screen and there is a continual spinning "wheel" in the middle of the screen and it does nothing else.
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Does that work? -
IPhoto upon reopen has continuous spinning wheel.
I have numerous different iphoto libraries and managed them with iphoto library manager. recently upgraded to iphoto 9.2.2, updated the libraries successfully and then upon reopening, had continuous spinning wheel and no photos. was able to extract photos with manager but this most recent file, which i just created from scratch because of all the problems my old libraries were having, is now doing the same thing. just imported photos from a camera, then upon reopen, nada. tried to extract in manager, nada. says the file is corrupt. copied the library in manager and it seemed to recognize the photos but again i can't extract. words cannot explain how much i regret upgrading, years of libraries are scattered into bits and pieces.
i tried deleting the iphoto.plist file as i saw this was recommended in a support forum, but this really isn't working either. it only seems to work on one default library.
any help would be appreciated. thanks.Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

All I'm getting is the IMovie window and a continuously spinning wheel...what can I do to fix it?
Even before my update to iOS 5.1 it was doing that, not a very long time ago. My mac is starting to get really slow, and is stopping sometimes and keeps spinning the wheel for a very long time. I updated my mac today, but still in IMovie all I keep getting is the open window and the continuously spinning wheel, how can i fix it? Can you help me please?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

One step has you doing a disk repair using Disk Utility. If you don't have any OS X DVD's to boot from, perhaps you have an external bootable backup to startup and run Disk Utlity. -

Continuous Spinning wheel on home screen with no browsing
I have a continous spinning wheel on my NEW iphone 5c. I will see the wheel from my home screen without any apps open or running and I can also see the spinning wheel when i'm using any app. is this a known bug. i did update to 7.1.1 just yesterday, but i had this issue before the update. I tried the restart and once again it came back. any help is appreciated.
Same exact "problem" for me too - except im on an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1, ver 7.1.1).
Amy one have a permanent solution for this? It seems to seriously be draining the battery much more than normal.
Have only noticed this in the last 2 weeks or so. TIA. -
IPhoto wont launch, continuous SPINNING WHEEL
I lost iPhoto somehow, went online and PURCHASED it for $15. Once installed I attempted to launch and was greeted with the SPINNING GRAY WHEEL...that has overstayed it's welcome.
I have tried restaring my Macbook (Mac OS X Verson 10.6.8), deleting the program and reinstalling...all with the same result of the gray spinning gray wheel that never goes (left my computer alone for hours and came back to it still spinning). I have also updated all software possible on my computer.Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

Gertie (my ibook 4) has the gray screen and continuing spinning wheel. I have tried everything that I have read and nothing. I really want Gertie back up and running. Can anyone help me.
maybe try booting from OS X CD and run Disk Utility to check the hard drive.
also, there is supposed to be a hardware test included with CD kit, or the test maybe part of 10.4 install DVD. -
I have a MacBook Pro that will not boot up. The apple symbol is there and the spinning wheel keeps spinning. Any idea how I can fix this?
Reinstall OS X.
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.

Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow 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.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Mac pro running OS 10.5.8 won't boot. Apple logo and spinning wheel shows then Apple logo turns into Forbidden signage while spinning wheel continue. It happenened right after I installed a firmware. Had to restart.Please help. What can I do?
Work through the suggestions in this article:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup -
My iMac is not rebooting. The spinning wheel icon on the screen is continuously spinning but the computer is not starting. What should I do?
...and if you're still having problems try a Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar. Once booted, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If none of this helps, what version of OS X are you running? We need this info in order to offer ideas for other measures. -
We had to install the new InDesign CC (2014). InDesign CC (2014) crashes continuously. We have un-installed the app twice and re-installed again.
We have tried to install the previous version of InDesign CC but that is no longer (conveniently for you, nightmare for us) available.
Everytime we launch the new InDesign CC (2014) to actually do some work, this crashes. It has cost us 4 hours work since this morning!
This seems to be an issue a lot of people are having.
An update for any app should happen without any glitsches, otherwise your product is not fit for purpose.
We are all paying monthly fees to Adobe to be able to do our day-to-day work.
For that we expect to be able to use these tools without loosing time and money every time you are updating software.Thanks Mylenium

We were not able to get any crash reports - that option not available; the spinning wheel was coming on and off, but nothing would happen and nothing could be done, but re-start machines.
Have cleared prefs files since, this a few times. Based on suggestions found from others having the same problems.
