CS6 InDesign Won't Stop Spinning Beach Ball After Opening

My Mac was acting up tonight and it told me some InDesign-related files were damaged in the process. Now when I open InDesign or an InDesign file, I can’t do anything with the application because the beach ball keeps spinning after the application is launched and I have to force quit it. I tried deleting the preference file and uninstall InDesign and install it again and no luck.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I just uninstall and reinstall InDesign and saw this error report:

  • Contents of one network folder won't display - spinning beach ball

    I have an eMac on a network running 10.3.9 which, even though the user is properly authenticated on the network, it will not display the contents of one single folder. All the other folders' contents display perfectly and the user can interact with the server and its' contents without any problems. All the other users on the network can interact with the folder in question without any problems, which tends to lead me back to a problem on this one eMac.
    The folder in question is inside the main share and all the other folders are as well. Again, the user can traverse the directory structure without any problems. She can use any file, read, write, save, change, delete any file without any problems in any folder EXCEPT in this one folder.
    When the user tries to access the folder, the result is the perennial spinning beach ball.
    I've tried all the usual tricks. Cache cleaning, directory repairs, permission rebuilds, prebinding rebuilds, log file maintenance, etc., etc. to no avail. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

    Have you tried logging in with any of the other user's credentials from her system?
    Also, have you tried a different user account on her system. (With either her or anyone else's login info for the server.)

  • Project won't load! Spinning beach ball at opening screen.

    So my project is multi-camera, has all externally synced audio, and about 45 min of footage in current timeline. When I created the project, and edited the elements within, all worked fine. But now when I try to reopen the project, I get the spinning beach ball hanging at the opening screen for hours. It just shows "loading project into timeline" forever. It just doesn't want to open. Anyone run into these problems before??

  • :20 spinning beach ball after importing a clip

    I have an annoying problem that I hope someone can help me with. This has never happened with any of the 8-10 iMovie projects I have done since I started using the program a couple of years ago.
    When I find a piece of footage I want to capture, I go through the process of doing do, then click stop when finished importing the particular clip. Then, as normal, I will get a very brief drop down message stating that iMovie is generating thumbnails/processing event, and it would appear iMovie is ready for me to capture more footage. But, the very moment I move the arrow cursor, a spinning beach ball appears and continues to spin for 15-20 seconds. They at the end of this 15-20 seconds, a very brief drop down message appears noting that iMovie is "optimising movie."
    It's a very annoying problem that I have never had before with any other projects. I've tried shutting down/restarting to no avail. I have plenty of space available on the hard drive and there are no other programs running simultaneously with iMovie.
    Thank you in advance.
    Gary

    I have been capturing with a Sony MiniDV but I also tried a second JVC MiniDV camera as well, thinking that perhaps it might make a difference. It did not make a difference.
    Also, I am not running the stabilization at the time of import as the footage was taped on a tripod.

  • Spinning beach ball after hard drive upgrade

    Im running a macbook pro i7 2.2ghz  8gb ram  version 10.6.8 SL
    I recently upgraded my 128gb ssd to a 512gb ssd drive.  I cloned the drive to new drive and ever since then, I get the spinning beach ball very often whereas I never got it prior to the hard drive upgrade.  Is there anything I can check or do to eliminate the freeze ups?  It is VERY annoying.  Or do I just need to do a fresh install on the new hard drive.
    thanks in advance

    Did you properly prep the drive first:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X 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.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Slow and spinning beach balls after 10.8.2 update

    After the initial install of ML 10.8 for the most part the sytem seemed to run fine.  Very few snags.  But after the 10.8.1 and now the 10.8.2 updates I am finding slower and slower times for programs to boot and waiting to be able to type anything and spinning beach balls all the time.  I have noticed this continuously bringing up the contacts program, MS word, Pages, Apple Mail etc.   Initial booting of the computer is slower as well and often has a frozen beach ball for a minute or so before it unfreezes and proceeds.  Also huge slow down in printing from my wifi printer which before was super fast.  I have reset the SMC, Pram, did disk permission repairs and all of those items.  Nothing has changed anything.  This is a early 15" 2011 MBP unit with 8 gig of ram, 750 gig hard drive with only 250 gig in use, 2.2 I7 processor and Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB.  All software is updated to latest versions.  This slower and slower and waiting thing is getting continuously worse all the time and very annoying.   If anyone has any ideas I am open to suggestions to find a solution.  Thanks much.

    Seems we have a lot of people with simular problems but a lot of different combonations.  Cleaning caches, reseting Pram, taking almost everything out of login items even using a program to defrag the unit,  (mine is not a SSD drive), making sure all apps etc. are up to date and are ML ok etc. I have all done.  I even had the unit tested by the Gen. Bar guys to make sure the hardware was ok including the drive even though I was pretty sure it was as I did not have this problem before ML.  All checked out fine.  I have not in the past had any problem with Time Machine backups but??????????   I only use a usb external and plug it in when I want to do a back up so it is not doing the backup thing all the time.  I have thought of doing the erase and clean install  which will be a huge amount of work but I have read many postings saying they have done that and it did not solve the problem so reluctant to do that if in the end I will spend two days for nothing?   Could go back to SL or Lion as I have bootable backups but why should I have to do this on a year old MBP to make it work properly?  Seems there ought to be a solution on this but Apple does not seem to have one?  As I said in my original post all seemed good for the first month of ML then it began going down hill and has continued to ever since.  I did notice last night that something strange seemed to help for a little while.  I loged out of the unit as I have auto login and when I relogged in all seemed much quicker and better but today it has started to slow down again?   I know everyone with this problem would like a solution!

  • Safari Spinning Beach Ball after 10.5.5, Camera Raw Update, and Rmt Desktop

    Safari is having real problems after remote desktop and camera raw update. Safari is totally unusable. Spinning beach ball forever and brings the entire machine to a hault. Hope someone can help with a fix soon
    I zapped the pram. Tried deleting safari preferences. Cleaned out all the caches and histories. Rebuilt the permissions. Reset safari and reboot many times. No love.
    I am now in the process of reapply the combo updater for 10.5.5, and repairing thee premissions one last time.

    Hi,
    If Safari continues to misbehave, Save your Bookmarks by using File/Export Bookmarks and any other personal information you have stored. Delete the Safari and app, download and reinstall:
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    Make sure and run Disk Utility from your Applications/Utilities folder and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER each and every update or upgrade.

  • Frequent Spinning Beach Ball after SSD Upgrade

    I have several original MacPro's (2.66GHz quad core) each with 10GB of memory and all running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) - please no comments that I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion.  I have replaced the original hard drive in two of them with a brand new 120GB solid state hard drive (cloning the information from the original hard drive to the SSD using Disk Utility) and all is well.
    This morning, I repeated the same upgrade process on a 3rd MacPro.  Since the upgrade, I am getting frequent spinning beach ball cursors sometimes when performing the most simplest of tasks:
    1. Opening System Preferences
    2. Clicking the Apple menu.
    3. Opening an application.
    4. Pressing Command-Shift-A to access the Applications folder.
    I have ran Disk Utility and it finds nothing wrong.  I thought it might be something to do with Spotlight indexing the drive so I let it completely index the drive.  Still having frequent spinning beach ball cursors.
    What am I missing?  I have 7 MacPro's all bought at the same time, all configured exactly the same (hardware, software, everything!).
    Please help!
    TIA,
    Jon

    In brief, there are threads with pros and cons of cloning the OS to an SSD vs clean install.
    There is always the issue of what make/controller/firmware SSD you used.
    Are all of them the very same? hard to do with all the changes going on and with OWC issuing firmware update for their controller firmware (SandForce 2200 series I think).
    3G? 6G?
    http://macperformanceguide.com/index_topics.html#SSD_OWC_6G
    I think one reason for OS X is it may handle an SSD different (or not).
    I used Dec 2010 Corsair 3Gs in my 1,1 model just fine: 2 x 40GB and 1 x 120GB with no issue for months.
    What's different? the model and firmware of your latest SSD. And always a chance it is a dud. Or Disk Utility isn't always best for cloning, even with hdd it isn't and many use CCC or better perhaps SuperSuper.
    So there are threads, trouble cloning an SSD, and the recommendations to just clean install and use Setup Assistant. And of course move your home media and data to standard type drive.
    Something else worth considering:

  • Imac Spinning Beach Ball after about 3 minutes of operation.

    I get the spinning beach ball (SBBOD) after a few minutes of operation. The hard drive is indexing as well.  I tried booting the computer in Safe Mode and I get NO beach ball and the computer seems to be perfectly fine.  I recently upgraded my hard drive about 6 months ago.  I am not sure if this is a hardware or software problem.  I also tried running the hardware test, but I downloaded lion via the App Store and pressing "D" at boot up doesn't do anything.  I am about ready to erase my hard drive and try to re-install my info from time machine.  Unfortunately, I haven't done a back up in quite a while.  Any suggestions?

    SBBOD can be caused by many things. I'd recommend reading XLab's
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html
    article, it's about the best article on troubleshooting what is causing your specific problem.

  • Spinning beach ball when opening CS3

    First I wasn't able to connect to any of my sites, now I'm
    getting the "spinning beach ball of death" every time I open CS3.
    It is completely unresponsive and I have to "force quit" to get out
    of the application.

    I have been having similar problems on my G4 and on my Intel
    Macbook since the end of last week and the only changes to both
    systems has been the QuickTime 7.6 upgrade for Leopard.
    I have used the sampler in Activity Monitor to see what
    Contribute is doing while the Beachball is showing and it is busily
    doing nothing, waiting on a variety of events, spinnig its wheels.
    As far as Flash Player is concerned, the last update goes
    back to October and I have been using Contribute without any
    problems since then (up until last Friday).
    Any clues?

  • Constant spinning beach balls after upgrading to Lion

    I upgraded to Lion on a mid 2010 MacBook Pro.  Ever since I have been dealing with constant spinning beach balls every time I log in to anything, type, browse on both Firefox and Safari, or scroll up and down a page.  I have 8GB RAM, have reset the PRAM, restarted often, all is completely updated.  Anyone else have this problem and what to do about it?  It's extremely annoying and hard to get anything done!  Thanks, karen

    This is the info received from another post.
    Reinstalling Lion
    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. Alterhatively, 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: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Lots of spinning beach balls

    Hello,
    I have a Mac mini G4 (see specs in signature) and it worked fine a for a while until at one point a month or two ago, there was something wrong with the file directory or something so I had to do a complete zero erase and install. It worked fine for a while, but lately everything I do has been causing me to see more and more of the dreaded spinning beach ball. For example, clicking on "log in" on the apple discussion page brought about the spinning beach ball. Opening a new window can sometimes bring a spinning beach ball. Even in iChat it will randomly show me the spinning beach ball. iTunes as well has been giving me plenty of grief so much that I can't even listen to music on my computer because it will freeze and the seconds in the song will stop moving and then it plays for a bit and then stops again. I don't know what's wrong with my computer. In the Activity Manager it says I have 660 MB free memory and I have a 94% idle CPU. It's not dusty and it doesn't feel hot, in the iStat Pro widget it says the HD is at 119 degrees Fahrenheit. What the heck is wrong with my computer? It is really frustrating to not be able to even play an MP3 on my computer or have Safari freeze just because I opened a new window. The strange thing is that it always comes back, as in, when it freezes, I just have to wait a little bit and then it starts working again. So far I have tried repairing the disk permissions, repairing the disk, running "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly" and even running AppleJack in "deep clean" mode. Please, any help would be vastly appreciated.
    P.S. As I was writing this, I got the beach ball twice.

    There are a number of possible issues that could cause this other than the ones you appear to have attempted to deal with so far.
    The most obvious is an issue with Fonts - Macs are sensitive to font conflicts in particular, though some fonts cause problems even with no conflicts. Open Font Book and get it to check and resolve conflicts, then go through the font families and turn off what you absolutely don't need (even if only to run the system for a day or so to see if it helps - they can be turned on again when needed).
    Next obvious is prebinding, though with a newly reinstalled system that shouldn't be a problem. Try to update prebinding anyway, just to rule that out.
    Also ensure that permissions are repaired and remove all caches. Applejack does this, though personally I prefer YASU. After that is done, then use Disk Utility to check the boot drive (you'll need to boot from another MacOS volume such as the original install disk to effect repairs if needed).
    After that, it's possible the issue is a damaged property list file, so grab a copy of Preferential Treatment and scan both user and system levels. Delete anything it flags as a problem.
    Lastly (for now at least), create a new user on the system and log into that to see if that user suffers the same issues.

  • Can't seem to get rid of Spinning Beach Ball in Mail

    As someone else put it... it seems that Yosemite is Apple's VISTA.  Mail is fast becoming my most annoying App because clicking on almost any email seems to send the signal for the Spinning Beach Ball to appear.  Looking at activity monitor, it says that Mail is Not Responding, and then after a minute or two, the email finally opens.
    I'm thinking that perhaps Apple isn't testing Yosemite on older iMacs like mine, a circa 2007 (?) iMac7,1 identifier currently trying to run Yosemite OS X v.10.10.1 on my Intel 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo running 6 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.  Mail is one issue, I'm also seeing Multiple IP Address issues.  I'm trying to purge EMAils especially those that have images in them... figure I'll part the images on a USB HDD, and delete all those actual emails.  Even that is tough because the minute I highlight
    Is there any fix for the spinning beach ball issue?
    Mike

    OK, here's my current Etrecheck.  Maybe somebody can decipher this and give me a clue on how to resolve my problems.  I should not that I no longer have Elgato's EyeTV but I'm unsure about the correct method used to remove software like this, especially if there's no uninstall program that completely removes any references to it.  I did run the activity monitor and it seems like Kernel Task (?) is at the top of the list (Shows 541.1MB now) all the time when I select the MEMORY column.  There's 6.0 GB installed, 5.96 GB Used, Virtual Memory 6.28 GB, Swap Used is 59.5 MB, App Memory 4.33 GB, File Cache is 910.4 MB, Wired Memory 666.9 MB, and compressed is 96.8MB.

  • Spinning beach ball in apple mail

    Apple Mail now has the spinning beach ball after installing Yosemite. I repaired permissions with no change. Selecting emails causes brief to long freezes. Restarts do not help nor restrating Mail.

  • Safari won't open... spinning beach ball

    Out of the blue this morning, Safari won't open. I click it, the icon bounces, and then I get the spinning beach ball. If I go to the Force Quit Applications window, it says it's not responding. Any ideas what may be causing this and how to fix it?
    -B

    What is the exact wording of the message you see, and what are you doing when you see it?
    These are the steps I took this morning, again, along with the wording.  Before these steps, I logged into my account through the Google browser, and verified that I had a purchase in October of OS X Lion: 
    1 - booted computer under recovery.
    2 - Disk Utility - Repair Disk  (Result: The Volume New Macbook appears to be okay)
    3 - Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions - (Result:0 Repaired - Permissions Repair Complete)
    4 - Reinstall Mac OS - "Your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple - OK
    5 - "To Continue, you must agree to the terms and conditions" - Agree
    6 - Select New Macbook - Install
    7 - signing into Apple Store  (Result: This Apple ID has not purchased Lion)
    8 - rebooted and tried to launch App Store - back to spinning beach balls, along with all other internet apps; Safari, Mail, App Store, iTunes, etc. 
    Aps not affected: Google Chrome, Outlook (as long as I don't click on an email connected to an HTTPS server) and anything not on the internet.
    I hope this helps and thank you for your advice.  I wish I could use my Snow Leopard disks; my dvd drive is broken.
