Dropped Frames and the spinning rainbow wheel
I am using FCP 6.06, I imported video from two different video camcorders: Canon GL-2 mini-dv and a Sony Digital 8 TRV340. Importing from both of these cameras went pretty well, i had some dropped frames while importing, nonetheless it went pretty well. However, when i drop any of the footage into the timeline and I press play, it will play for a few seconds, hang up (spinning wheel) and then gives me a window that says: RT extreme has determined that these were caused by slow disks, please try: Increasing the speed of your disks, Decreasing the number of RT layers, Limiting your RT bandwith. AS of now i currently use a 1 TB Western Digital "My Book" for my scratch disk. I have tried everything I can think of and I am working on a Wedding video. I really need to get things going, I would appreciate any kind of assistance. I have tried looking up similar threads but nothing seems to really help. Thanks
Hi -
First, verify sure your source material is ingested correctly from your two different cameras -
In your project browser, click on a clip that came from the TRV340 and, once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties. Either report those properties, or if easier, take a screen shot and post the screen shot of the Item Properties for that clip.
Now do the same for a source clip from the GL-2.
After that, click anywhere on the sequence timeline that you are working on and type Command + 0 (zero) to see the sequence settings. Report the sequence settings or again, if easier, just post a screen shot of the sequence settings window.
This information is needed to provide you with suggestions to a solution.
thanks

iPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive. Anyone have ideas on how to get to them?
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.

Is there any reason or my why cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel?
Lately my macbook has been freezing, and I'm thinking that it's being overloaded. Most of the time the cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel, but it will eventually return back into the arrow. It's currently stuck as the spinning wheel, but I am able to click and access sites. Is there anything I should do to get this checked?
EDIT: When I open a new tab, the cursor goes back to normal. Is there any reason why it is doing that in the other tab?Hi,
Use the PC KB and hold Windows key + r key at bootup.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS. -
Software Update: Java for OS X 2013-002 1.0
This update, upon booting, has caused my disk space to fill up and my system freezes up. The same happens to my coworker's computer. We both watch the remaining disk space decrease and the "spinning rainbow appears" and we must restart. What do we do?First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
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.

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?

Lightroom and the spinning colour wheel
Hi all,
It seems my Lightroom has developed a problem! I'm using v1.4.1 on OS X 10.5.2.
Until a few minutes ago, I've had no problem at all with LR, in any module. Plugging in my card reader spawned the import dialog...all was well. In fact I used it 15 minutes ago to browse through some images.
I closed my machine down, then restarted 10 mins later...now LR either displays the splash screen and spinning colour wheel forever, until I force quit, or opens to the last view I was on (a grid view in Library)...then the colour wheel starts up, and again, I have to force quit.
Has anyone had this same prob...any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve it?
I have backups of the catalogue and database files from yesterday...could one or both be corrupt?
Thanks
NigeCould be, but I'd go for the preferences file first - delete it. You'll obviously lose your preferences but it may get you back where you were.

AOL and the spinning little wheel as the pointer
Well here we go, My nice hand me down G4 Digital Audio 10.4.5 with AOL, and there are times when certain times the pointer turns to that spinning little color wheel and I can not resume the AOL. I can however open other browsers, but the AOL freezes. Any idea how to release the spinning wheel from the AOL?
PatrickWell, 10.4.5 is an older version of Tiger and can be updated to 10.4.11 for free.
The 10.4.11 combo update link for:
[PowerPC-based Macs|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html]
You might also want to do the latest security update if you haven't done that.

General notes on Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk. Permissions repair can, and is probably best, done when booted from your internal drive.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
[What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392]
[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

After doing all that, are you running a recent version of AOL? I see from its web site that there are multiple components to it. If it were me I guess a question to ask would be is there a reason to run it at all? -
Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs
Hardware & Software:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
77GB of free hard disk space
8GB RAM
Running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

Can anyone give me an idea of what these messages mean and how I can solve this problem?
If I'm not in the correct Community for this question, could someone kindly tell me where I should re-post?
Thanks.
David WalkerYes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing. However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences. Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted. The problem still persists.
I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there. I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365. Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend. So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable. -
Slow Macbook Pro with frequent spinning rainbow wheel!
My Macbook Pro suddenly is very slow especially when using Google Chrome. I usually get the spinning rainbow wheel for most tasks and on chrome it often says "waiting on cache" or "waiting on app cache". I don't think it's just chrome because I have had problems with other applications as well. I've tried repairing disk permissions multiple times as well as deleting browsing history and nothing has solved the problem so far. I had a similar problem earlier in the year when I had to go to a store to get theBRACKET,HDD,FRONT,WITHIR/SLEEP/HDCABLE fixed. Any tips or suggestions would help! Don't really want to have to go back to a store to get this fixed again. etrecheck is below

IBook freezes on Apple logo white screen, NO spinning rainbow wheel
Hello,
I bought my iBook 12" 1.33Ghz used in May. It has worked flawlessly until two nights ago when I was surfing the web via Airport. Everything started to take forever to load, the spinning rainbow wheel appeared several times, and applications took minutes to switch between. Since the iBook had been on for a few days, I thought it was time to do a reboot to fix whatever was backlogged in the system. It didn't want to respond, so I force quitted all programs. I could click on the blue logo and hit shut down or restart, but they didn't do anything towards a shut down. I finally held the power button to force a shut down. Ever since, when I power up, I get the Apple chime, a gray screen (for less than a second) and then the white screen with the gray Apple logo. There is NO spinning rainbow wheel, as others with similar sounding problems have mentioned. I've cleared the PRAM and PMU, but they didn't help anything. Holding Shift on startup does not do anything differently. It still just freezes on the Apple logo for hours. I did not get a Mac OS X startup disk with my computer. What else can I do to troubleshoot this? Please help, this is my first Mac, and up until 3 days ago, I had all but sworn off PC's, now this thing is acting up too!
Also, I'm guessing which version of Mac OS X I have, is there anyway to confirm without booting? Holding option is the only thing I have found to give me a different startup process, and the mouse pad is very sluggish and there's a watch logo for 20 seconds or so on it.Hello! Since you don't have the startup disk your best shot is using fsck. Tom
when you re-start, hold down the apple key AND the "S" key You'll start up into a command line interface.. it'll look strange but just hang in there. When it's done booting up, you should see something that looks like this: localhost:/ root# at this point, type in 'fsck -f" please note the space before the dash, and of course, ignore the quote marks, then hit return You computer will no go thru some low level checks on your HD. Most likely you'll get a list of a few files that have problems and this procedure will fix them. This should take about 2 or 3 mins, so don't be in a rush. When the line says "VOLUME WAS MODIFIED", this means that changes were made. At this point you should be back at the same localhost:/ root# prompt. run fsck -f again. Wait for it to finish. if you continue to get the "Volume was modified" message, continue to run fsck -f until you'll get a prompt that says The Volume(your HD) appears to be ok, again with the localhost:/ root# prompt. AT this point, type reboot, hit enter and your computer will start up normally. This is not difficult, but you may want to give it a shot when your feel you have a few moments where you can attempt something new and not stress too much. -
Iphoto not working - i get spinning rainbow wheel
My iphoto does not work.. It has suddenly stopped!
When I open iPhoto, the spinning rainbow wheel comes up, and I am unable to do anything - so I have to force quit..
I'm not sure what to do? I have the extended warranty for my laptop - it is less than 12 months old
iTunes also wont update to the latest version either.....
Any suggestions on what I should do?
Im mostly concerned about iPhoto...Hi,
I've had this issue twice now when importing photo's from my iPhone.
First time I rebuild library from backup. The backup did not contain the imported pictures so iPhoto worked fine again.
Yesterday I "retried" to import. So the problem re-occured (duh).
This time however I noticed there was an "update icon" next to places when iPhoto froze.
So I decided to disable automatic "Lookup Places". The trick however is to get into a responsive iPhoto.
For this: start iPhoto while holding the Option (or alt) key, create a new library, open iPhoto using this new library, go to Preferences, Advanced Tab, set Look up Places to " never".
Close iPhoto, open again using Option (or alt) key (because the new, empty, library has been set to default automatically), select your original library and your iPhoto should be fine again.
This did the trick for me. Hope this helps.
Cheers! -
Spinning rainbow wheel & all blue wheel. What gives?
I'm usin a Mid-2012 MacIntel tower that is a 2.8ghz Quad-Core Xeon with 20GB of 1066 DDR3 RAM, OS 10.8.2 and using the AIR Radeon HD 5770 with 1024MB of RAM. So, In my mind this is a pretty fast system but recently the spinning rainbow wheel has been appearing as well as the spinning all blue wheel. The system is really dragging. I've done SMC resets, zapped the PRAM and thinking of doing a PMU reset. I've checked activity monitor also. What I see is that Safari Web content, Safari, iTunes, mds, and something called kernel_task are using the most RAM. The kernel_task is eating up 1.31GB!! Even if I quit Safari and iTunes, I'm getting a lot of spinning wheels and just slow responses. I click on something and it actually highlights almost 10 seconds later. I've tested my RAID and internal drives and they appear fine. All are Serial ATA. This only happend after installing Mountain Lion. Is there anything else I can do other than go back to the old school days of running one program at a time. Can I quit out of this kernal_task operation or is that a bad move?
Check your
Safari > Preferences > General ...
... and make sure you are removing History Items: After one Day
Safari and many other Browsers will carry around every stinkin' website you visited for months, and their RAM foot print grows to be enormous. Stuff older than that can be searched for more easily than scrolling through your History.
If you use topsites, choose LARGE views, then fewer fit in the window and it will not works so hard or use so much memory keeping track of them.
In 10.7 especially, Applications whose windows are closed are left running, chewing away at your RAM used. Try to remember to Quit unused Applications rather than just closing their windows.

I got my macbook pro last tuesday. This morning I woke up realizing I didn't plug in my charger so my battery was completely dead. I turned on my laptop and I see a white loading screen with the spinning rainbow wheel for the first time. In the last hour I've seen the rainbow wheel at least three more times. When I do see it, the wheel disappears in 1-2 seconds. It doesn't last long at all but why am I seeing this wheel? The wheel appeared twice when I opened the APP store both times. What exactly can I do???
I recently installed Tiger, and then applied the most recent updates. The 2008-002 Security Update caused the kind of behavior you are describing to the point where even the attempt to save the html of a small web page would cause my system to hang for anywhere from a couple to a couple dozen minutes (and sometimes even cause the Finder to repeatedly crash). Finally I did an Archive and Install and things returned pretty much to normal, although I do find that I get more spinning beachballs in Tiger - to which I recently moved up - than I did in Panther (usually when saving a file within a web browser, so maybe the Security Update simply exacerbated a problem that was already present).
Anyway, do you know if this started happening after installing that 2008-002 S.U.? -
Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Dropping Frames Without the usual message
Hi,
I recently started having a problem with the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview. When my video plays full screen it drops frames and the "Drop Frame" message does not come up. Basically the image stops (or freezes temporarily) and the audio keeps going. Eventually the video starts playing again, but it always stops again and the Drop Frame message never appears. And yes, "Report Drop Frames During Playback" is checked on. I am an experienced user and I have never seen a problem like this. It started recently after the update to 7.0.1. The video plays fine in the canvas window. The problem only occurs when I go full screen (using the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview option), which I would like to use. It was working perfectly, until recently. Any ideas????
No - there is not a bunch of stuff on my computer.
No - it does not matter if the video is DVCPro HD, HDV, or standard DV (I am using all three and I have tried different project files. I have tried files on one of the internal drives and different projects on external hard drives, all have the same problem.)
No - new software or files have been added to my computer
Yes - I trashed the preference about a dozen times. It does not help.
My system is less than a year old
MAC PRO
Mac OS X 10.5.8
2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
6 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
FCP 7.0.1
All thoughts are welcome!
Thanks,
jSo far so good.... Thanks Andy!
I did look through the previous posts, but must have missed that one. I just replaced the "DesktopVideoout.component" file. It seems to be working! The real test will be after a day of editing later this weekend. Thank You! And Happy Thanksgiving!
