CS5 Freezing Using Lion (beach ball of death) illustrator CS5
Hello anytime I touch my swatch panel option tag (corner of swatch panel) Illustrator CS5 freezes! I am using Lion Mac OS. Any thoughts
Do you still have the original installer dvd's? If so run Apple Hardware Test. Also since you recently added more memory also run Rember (a GUI layer on top or memtest). I wouldn't trust TechTool for reliable memory tests.
The only software I've added (on Monday and the problem started Monday) was a Seagate Diagnostic program to test some external USB Seagate GoFlex archive drives-- these are not always connected or mounted to the Mac Pro. When I started experiencing problems-- and it crashed or hung several times on Monday-- I trashed the Seagate Diagnostic program.
Hmm, coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program was the one I found here you probably did not remove all of it. Specifically the kext's it installs.
/System/Library/Extensions/MaxtorPowSecDriver.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/SeagatePowSecDriver.kext
If they are there move them to the trash (proably need your admin password to allow it) and reboot.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program is not the one I found. The do the following in terminal and post the results:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } ' -
Lion freezes constantly, spinning beach ball of death
Started freezing intermittently, got to the point where it can freeze before it even reaches the user login page now.
Booted in safe mode and is working fine.
Verified HD and all is good.
Any ideas would be much appreciated?

<Edited By Host>thanks for the input but that link doesn't help me im afraid.
Sometimes i get the spinning ball of death forever, sometimes the whole system just crashes, and sometimes the screen hangs but i can still move the mouse and music still plays.
Im running safe mode now and it seems stable.
Here is my error report:

Help!! Stopping Freeze-ups (spinning beach ball of death.)
I don't know what to do anymore except to upgrade or get more ram.
Installed and launched FCE 3.5 HD, no problem. I have been able to even capture a whole 62 min tape of HDV material (with its normal lag of course) which I was even surprised, I have been able to edit, do transitions, text, work with sequences in the timeline etc...everything looks good in the canvas, viewer.
The minute I start playing the sequences after rendering all the transitions and effects it runs very well for a minute or two and then.... FCE locks up gives me the dreaded SBOD and even when I force Quit and can not even get back to the Finder unless I reboot. everytime that this happens I've trashed the Preference file as per the numerous links in this Forum
I have repaired the HD and the External FW LaCie with the Disk Utility several times It always reports no problems, I don't use any other Apps when working on FCE. Is this a lack of Ram and processor power only??
I don't have this problem when I work on the Lessons from the Apple Pro Training Series for FCE.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Luidoly

Yes, I know that I'm scratching the bottom of the barrel with only 512 especially for HDV, but I just did a test by capturing DV from an HDV tape, (setting the camera for DV out) and I got perfect DV clips, I figured this it would be able to handle since I was no longer working with HDV clips, but the minute I started setting the I/O points in the viewer it locked up again.
I have 123Gigs on the LaCie scratch disc and about 95Gigs free on the Mac disc
so I don't think is that.
I know ram is cheap but probably will hold out until new Macs come in they are rumored to have plans for a BlueRay Superdrive.
I just don't know what else to do in the meantime.
Luidoly.
G5 1.8 Gz single, 512MB ram Mac OS X (10.4.8) La Cie d2 ext FW drive 160GB -
My MacBook (late 2009 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) often runs VERY slow...beach ball of death frequently. My page ins (3.29GB), page outs (5.64BG), and swap files (10GB) seem extremely high in comparison to most other discussions in here. I don't know how to copy the pie chart so it shows on here but here's what it says right now:
Free - 176 MB
Wired - 592MB
Active - 843MB
Inactive - 432MB
Used - 1.82 GB
VM size - 198GB
The page ins and page outs have 0 bytes/sec in the parenthesis even though the numbers are so high.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!You difinately need more ram. 2gb is the bare minimum to run just the Lion OS, anything extra will slow your Mac to a crawl. Upgrade to 8gb from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/
And you will be a happy camper! -
Beach Ball of Death and Freezing Apps
For the past couple of days, I've been having some strange occurances on my 2007 MacPro (2,1) where, in certain apps, the Beach Ball of Death will appear and the app will freeze or hang. I can be using the app for some time and perhaps do one thing, and the BBOD appears, the app hangs and the only way out is to Force Quit. It has even happened once or twice with Finder which forces a reboot.
The app it tends to hang most in is Toast, especially when I go to burn a DVD. It will start the burn process, then just hang (the optical drive will start to spin up-- as if to start the burn-- then spin down and the BBOD appears. A Force Quit ensues. I can try to burn again and again but no luck, unless I restart the Mac Pro. Then it will work, no problem.
But it has also hung using Mail, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and especially Time Machine. I've gone as far as disconnecting Time Machine drive just to see if it is the culprit, as the majority of the initial hangs seemed to be associated with seeing the TM menu "clock" spinning, indicative of TM is doing a backup. Except the backup is taking forever and apps begin to BBOD as it spins. I can check the TM Buddy widget, which just says:
"Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM Backups/Backups.backupdb"
Normally there's a lot more information than these couple of lines, especially if TM has been going a while.
If I try to stop TM using the TM pulldown menu, the BBOD appears and it hangs, yet the clock icon continues to spin. And if I try to Force Quit, it hangs (and on one or two occasions, the Finder has even showed a BBOD and hung. And while I can move the cursor and click around the Desktop, there is no response.) If I click on an app in the Dock, then the icon freezes in the Dock at its Magnification position and I can do nothing to make it go back. Then I usually just do a reboot and all is well for a while.
I did add two extra Gigs of SDRAM about two weeks ago (from Crucial) and no problem. I did use Tech Tool Pro 5 and tested the Memory, which tested okay. Also, I can check Volume Structures with Tech Tool 5 on the main drive and it says everything is good. (I have two internal spare drives and one external firewire 1.5 TB G-RAID) I've used Disk Utility on the OS drive and checked Verify Disk on the Startup Drive and the others and after awhile, it says the hard drive(s) seem to be okay. I've even ran Apple Jack to see if cleaning things up would help but no dice.
The only software I've added (on Monday and the problem started Monday) was a Seagate Diagnostic program to test some external USB Seagate GoFlex archive drives-- these are not always connected or mounted to the Mac Pro. When I started experiencing problems-- and it crashed or hung several times on Monday-- I trashed the Seagate Diagnostic program. The TM has also been shut down and unplugged as I tended to see more hangs and BBOD when it was in a backup process. (The first TM backup of the day goes smoothly. An hour later, when it automatically begins another backup, the TM clock icon spins forever and trouble ensues as noted above)
I'm wondering if it is my main Macintosh drive. It is a 250 GB drive, about 70% full and has worked fine until now. Because the Finder continues to work, even though apps are BBOD or hanging, I'm not sure about that though.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!Do you still have the original installer dvd's? If so run Apple Hardware Test. Also since you recently added more memory also run Rember (a GUI layer on top or memtest). I wouldn't trust TechTool for reliable memory tests.

Hmm, coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program was the one I found here you probably did not remove all of it. Specifically the kext's it installs.
/System/Library/Extensions/MaxtorPowSecDriver.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/SeagatePowSecDriver.kext
If they are there move them to the trash (proably need your admin password to allow it) and reboot.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program is not the one I found. The do the following in terminal and post the results:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } ' -
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). -
Why do a get a spinning beach ball of death when using latest skype?
Why do I get the spinning beach ball of death when using latest skype?
Google "skype os x problems" for suggestions.

I'm always geting the Spinning Beach Ball of Death, yet instead of it being from having heavy stuff open or not enough RAM, it's as simple as coming out of a screen saver, or clicking a forum button on a browser that can cause it. It doesn't stop, instead it just keeps going until you can do nothing, and can only restart the iMac. Some times you can move the curser around, yet Finder doesn't open the Force Quit and the shortcut doesn't work.
How do you stop geting the SBBD??!! And it's not from a lack of RAM, as I got the max of 4 GB, and just having Firefox and a few much smaller applications open don't use even close to that much RAM. I got 72 Gigs of space left on the man harddrive, so it's not from having too little space there.
Here's some logs from right when the last freeze and restart occured.

Spinning Beach Ball of Death with Serato Intro...
Hello,
I have a 2008 Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. I keep getting the spinning beach ball of death and it completely freezes my computer. This only seems to happen when I am using my Numark Mixtrack Pro II with Serato DJ Intro or when I am converting large amounts of AAC files to MP3 in iTunes. Does anyone know if there is a specific setting that can help with this or what could be causing the problem?
Thank you,
Krista
Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball -
Frequent Crashes - Unrecoverable spinning beach ball of death - with 10.5.7
I upgraded to 10.5.6 when it was released. I experienced multiple kernel panics daily, many of which cited graphics related faults. So I reformatted the HD, reinstalled Leopard, and installed the 10.5.5 combo update.
Last week I installed the 10.5.7 combo update along with other minor non-os updates. Now, instead of having multiple kernel panics, I get multiple system Freezes at random. But usually associated with opening or closing dialog boxes (save as..., etc.), progress bars, and opening Apps from the dock. The system freeze is evident by the Spinning Beach Ball of Death. CMD-OPT-Esc doesn't not bring up the force quit dialog box, nor will any menu item be accessible. The temp increases as it's stuck in some loop. The case area near F3 and F4 gets very hot. I installed the Fan Control Pref Pane to force the fans on earlier.
So, still under the assumption that it's a software issue. I did an Archive and Install of Leopard, and upgraded the OS using 10.5.7 combo update. Sadly, the system freezes still occur at random, but still mostly when animating dialog boxes. The last one was when I tried to attach a file in Mail.app (and then again while trying to open the system profiler while writing this post).
The only way out of the freeze is to give the one-finger-salute to the power button, and power down.
At first I thought this might be a software issue like a corrupt file, poorly written driver or kernel extension, or memory leak. But now, I'm concerned that this might be a sign of a failing GPU as the 8600M GT GPUs had some manufacturing trouble.I just updated last evening to 10.5.7 on my 24" White iMac (late 2006) and am having the same issue. I did it first on my 12" G4 iBook without any issues for a week so I went ahead and updated the iMac. I'm using it now with kid gloves. I've disabled Default Folder and DragThing to see if they are incompatible (no updates for either were available at this time) but I also have a feeling my Drobo storage device might be related because Spotlight was indexing after the update. I hadn't used spotlight much because I don't think it was in fact indexing the Drobo before the update. My search results seemed limited to the internal drive. The Drobo firmware and utility are both up-to-date as well.

I get the following error when running Chrome v18.0.1025.163 on my MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.7.3
kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
I have had many tabs crash, then it crashes the Chrome application, then quickly making my entire Mac unresponsive with a spinning beach ball of death. I am not sure if it is Chrome or not, as I tend to do most of my work these days in a browser.
Have others seen this? Is there a fix? What can I do to stop these crashes?As far as I've been able to discover, this bug is specific to WebKit browsers running (Chrome and Safari are based on WebKit). Perhaps it is related to those browsers running plugins (like Flash) and using an IOSurface to pass the rendering data back from the plugin. This issue was constant on my late 2010 MBP and would freeze the machine entirely once a day. Having switched to using Firefox or Opera I no longer see ANY messages for "IOSurface: Buffer allocation size is zero". Thankfully, this also comes without any more freezing when time machine starts up or at any other time.
It looks like there are a lot of changes going on in WebKit relating to IOSurface usage (http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/WEBKIT/search?logMessage=iosurface). Hopefully this will be fixed very soon. -
Macbook pro, beach ball of death
I have a MacBook Pro, OS10.7.5, 2.2Ghz, Intel Core, 4Gb memory. It's annoyingly slow sometimes and the "beach ball" of death apperas regardless of the program I use. It sometimes appears even if I am in Finder and try to open a folder.After about 6 sec, the ball disappears, and I can operate the software. Periodically it comes back, I wait...then go back to using the laptop. Is it the OS causing it? My hardware? My drives? My memory? It's soooo annoying because I have to wait until it disappers so I can continue working. Any suggestions? Much appreciated.
I am having the same issue as above stated. Mac book pro 10.7.5 2GHz i7 4GB 1333 DDR3
The machine is freezing up perodically. Force qui will show Google Chrome as not responding. Trying to quit Chrome does nothing, and the force quit window sits there until there is an error. The error stats the a connection to a windows station had been interrupted and timed out.
The machine is running simultanious RDP sessions into two different Windows servers in addition to that one of the servers is given permission to access the local drive soreport save time is decreased. I followed instructions above and sadly was not lucky enough to find pacesupport. Here is a copy of the report from Etre Check:

IPhoto does not start - spinning beach ball of death
Hi
When I try to start iPhoto I get the spinning beach ball of death and the whole laptop freezes.
Cannot force quit, have to restart via power button.
I have tried starting iPhoto while holding the Option key - no difference.

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, faces and places 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.

IPhoto 09 and 11: spinning beach ball of death when accessing contextual menu.
Whenever I right click to access the contextual menu, iPhoto gives me the spinning beach ball of death. This happens only when I right click on a photo from the events in the iPhoto library. It freezes for a few seconds then the spinning ball appears.
This happened in iPhoto 09 so I upgraded to iPhoto 11, but the problem is still there. I have deleted all files from the previous version before installing iPhoto 11 but it didn't solve the problem. Those files were application support files, cache and preferences all in the library. I have even created a new library in iPhoto 11 and imported a few photos just to test it out, but the problem persisted. I just can't right click without having that spinning beach ball of death appear. The only solution is to force quit the application. This is very frustrating and I would appreciate any help.
I am running Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
ThanksTry 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 (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - try to launch iPhoto and check for any improvements.
NOTE 1: 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.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
