Endless spinning wheel on starting Mail 2.1.3

The Activity Viewer shows that 'Fetching new mail' never completes it stalls at the last message on the server. The mail application will only quit when forced. Each restart of Mail re-downloads the same messages from the server as the previous restart. Restarting the computer does not solve the problem.
The only unusual event that I can think of that may have precipitated this problem was that I attempted to send an 18 Mb itunes file as an email attachment. I had to force quit the Mail app in an attempt to interrupt the send.

Hi Jeff, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Did you try the steps above?
Also, how much free space do you have on your HDD?
Try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
Feel free to start a new topic if none of this helps, as more helpers will drop in, here's the link...

Endless spinning wheel on shut down

If I boot up and do not initiate any software and then shut down, shut down occurs normally. If I initiate any software, I get a blue screen and the endless spinning wheel. I tried the repair disk and repair permissions from the startup disk, to no avail. This is something that began just recently, possibly with upgrading to 10.6.7 but I'm not sure. Safe boot makes no difference either. I am running on a 2.8 GHz, i7, quad core.
Thanks,
Jacob

Hi Jacob,
Just to do a quick rundown on what you have done so far in terms of troubleshooting:
Repair Permissions.
Verify the start up disk. Does the disk utility indicates if "Macintosh HD appears to be OK"?
Boot from installer disk and use the" Repair Disk" option.
Now a few questions:
When you mean "initiate any software", do you mean like initiating software update or app such as Safari or iPhoto?
When was the last time you installed something on your computer?
I think you have done everything in regards to avoid a total system reinstall. But before we go with the steps of reinstalling the OS, I will suggest one more step, since you mentioned that the problem might have arised after installing 10.6.7.:
Reinstall OSX 10.6.7. Update via Combo updater:Get it from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
Report back after installing the combo update.
About combo updates as a trouble shooting steps (from Cnet):
Combo
Apple's Combo updater includes all the files necessary to bring a major release of OS X from any previous version to the one represented by the update. For example, if you have the OS X 10.6.7 Combo updater then you can use it to update any Mac from any version of OS X Snow Leopard to OS X 10.6.7.
While Software Update will also provide you with this option, the Combo updater, like the Delta updater, is more universal and can be applied to any Mac system, regardless of its hardware or software configuration. Additionally, it can be reapplied to a Mac that has already been updated. Because of this, a Combo updater is frequently used when troubleshooting odd problems in OS X since it can be used to essentially replace a number of system files with fresh ones, without requiring a full reinstallation of OS X.
Good Luck!

Why do I get a spinning wheel when using Mail

Recently I have noticed that I get the rainbow spinning wheel when using Mail.
I have upgraded to Mavricks
This seems to happen when looking for an address
Also when I attempt to move emails from inbox to another mailbox this does not happen.

A general cure for Mail problems is Mailbox > Rebuild. Don't know if it applies to your problem but it shoud not hurt.
P.S. Have a current Time Machine or other backup before attempting any major software updates or rebuilds.

I have lots of spinning wheels on start up and changing between applications

I get lots of spinning wheels on start up and when changing applications. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Checking for mail is an endless spinning wheel

When I check for email, I get the spinning wheel and "checking email" that gets hung up and will not change until I hard shut down and start up again, when all of my emails will appear. I have switched out several phones and it does not change the problem.

I have the same problem. the "connecting..." wheel spins and spins at the bottom of the mail program, but i can tell (from the lack of a spinning data wheel at the top of the screen) that no data is coming or going. if i exit mail, the internet seems to work fine. so i am convinced it is a problem with the mail program.
I have an old 8GB iphone, not a 3G. though the problem seems to have only begun since i installed the new 2.0 firmware.
I find that a reboot solves it, only temporarily. Though as others have noted, it happens too often, multiple times a day, so I don't think rebooting every time the problem occurs is a feasible solution.
anyone else know what the problem may be? could it be a problem with the 2.0 firmware?
thoughts? fixes?

Endlessly spinning wheel in Viewer Builder

Hi everyone,
We just Tried to produce a new App woth Viewer Builder. unfortunately the process seems to be hang up. Every step went fine and the production process started successfully.
But the productn never ends. It's about three hours now, and the wheel still spins. Also after we rebootet the Mac.
We were able to produce the App with a second job, which successfully ended after acouple of seconds (as it usually is). So we don't have a pressure here in terms of time.
Still we don't want a broken App with a spinning wheel in our Viewer Builder. Especially because we are not the only ones from the company that use this account.
Is there a way to stop this broken process? It's not possible to end or delete it.
Or is there anyone, who I can contact because of this issue?
Thanks in adavance,
Richard

Yes we are using the newest version. A client of ours is experiencing the exact same problem with a completely different setup (different location, different mac, different accounts, different app)
Maybe it has something to do with the ftp server restart AdobeDigitalPub mentions on twitter
(@richardbrammer is it still happening? We restarted one of our servers earlier this morning due to slow FTP transfers.)
Bets regards,
Richard

Endlessly spinning wheel

My iMac 17" Intel core duo - 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD - will not become fully operational. The Finder menu bar appears but none of my desktop icons, including the Macintosh HD icon.
When I click on any of the menus, the only response is the little multicolored wheel. It spins for a minute or two, then becomes the arrow. If I then click an icon, the wheel again starts spinning.
The Menu icons on the right end of the menu bar function[Fax; Airport; Flag; Sound; Time & Date; Spotlight], but not the icons on the left end [ File; Edit; etc.].
What's going on?
Thanks.

Mousenstein,
Firstly, does everything work in another account? If you don't have one, its worth creating another admin account anyway.
If so, your hunch may be right - possibly trying to generate previews & not enough room to display htm all. If Spotlight is working, press Ctrl Space (or whatever you have as your shortcut keys - even click the spotlight symbol) and type in Activity Monitor. Use the arrow keys to navigae to the application and return to launch and see what is taking up the CPU time. Could be Finder if it is struggling with all the images.
By the same method, you could possibly launch Terminal. If you can, you could navigate to your desktop folder (with the command: cd \desktop) and list what is there (with the command: ls -l) to identify whether there are a large number of files. You can hopefully then delete them all using the wildcarded rm command (be careful using this command - type man rm and read the instructions before doing anything).
If you can't launch anything you could probably do the same from another admin account but permissions are a problem and I don't know enough to advise.
Someone out there may have a better idea anyway

Hangs on grey screen with spinning wheel at start up

Power Mac g4 running tiger hangs on grey screen with spinning wheel (the wheel keeps going tho!) tried resetting the PRAM, PMU, changed the little battery thing on the main board, and starting from tiger dvd and os 9 dvd, dvds just keep ejecting. also tried starting in verbose and safe modes, still the same problem.
I can however access the hd through a network.
any ideas
Thanks

The only thing I know is to buy one. Not much help here. I have a collection of OS disks I bought to go along with all the Macs I've had and still have.
You said already that you had reset the PMU, but did you do that according to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1939
If not, then this may help. The PMU seems to be a miracle part of the OS. You could then plug the HD back in and a miracle will happen. I've read several threads where people kept doing this and all of sudden everything was cured. I think the last one I read, the person recommended holding in the button for at least 15 seconds and then releasing it. I just go by the Apple tech sheets.

Spinning wheel when starting iPhoto

Hi,
My 27 inch Mac is from late 2010. Almost every time when I start up iPhoto the only thing I see is the colourful spinning wheel but no possibility to see or edit pictures from my library. I tried all suggested ideas but it seems nothing really helps me out. Strange: from my wife's account on the same Mac there's no problem to get in. Changed from windows last year for Apples problemless OS-reputation I'm a little disappointed being unable to solve this problem. I'm having this problem since a couple of weeks. Can anybody help me out?

See if you can boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode. If that's successful reboot normally. If the Safe Mode fails boot into the Recovery HD by holding down the Command+R keys. When in the recovery partiton run Disk Utility to repair permissions and the disk. If you still can't boot and log in you may have to go back to the Recovery HD and reinstall the system as described here:

Logout: white screen + endless spinning wheel

Hi,
We're using our 2011 IMAC at home with 4 users of our family; each of us has it's own login. When one of our kids logs-off, he turns to get a white screen with a spinning wheel (not always, but undefined frequently). The problems seems to be initiated after the Mavericks 10.9.4 patch, but still exist after 10.9.5.
Please help, as the only option we have is to restart the machine every crash.
Also no error log has been saved...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HELP ENDLESS SPINNING WHEEL FREEZES PREMIER PRO

When I open Pr it loads content, gives me the yellow content not loaded screen and then freezes with the spinning wheel. many times. help... project due friday NEED to export

Hello Naviira,
please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
Good luck!

My Macbook Pro shows the apple and spinning wheel at start up but won't continue startup. Any Help would be appreciated.

My Macbook Pro shows the Apple and spinning wheel at startup but will not continue the startup. Does anybody know how to get past this, so the computer continues to startup?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to boot from an external drive, or else to use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Repeat Step 9, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Downloaded iTunes update. Clicked to restart but am stuck on gray screen with an endlessly spinning wheel.

Downloaded iTunes update to my Mac mini (2007). Pressed restart but computer is hung up on a gray screen with a spinning wheel. Doesn't respond to power switch. Disconnected but returns to same screen when plugged back in.

FWIW, have a look at this user tip.

Spinning wheel, force quit mail, can't delete from "sent" box

Starting yesterday, I see a constant spinning gray wheel and it says "indexing" or "Copying 26 of 43 messages". I cannot delete emails from my "Sent" box. It appears they are deleting, but when I click off of "Sent" then click back on "Sent" there they are again. Nothing goes to my trash can. When I click on the trash can some of my mail icons are grayed out. And... I cannot quit my mail without force quitting--everytime. I am able to send and receive emails. I have tried Repair Disk Permissions and Verified. Didn't help. Any ideas?

Thanks Mulder.
Neither of your suggestions solved the problem. Repaired permissions may times. It was not a corrupted prefs file.
It cost me several hours fooling around and still do not know exactly what it was. Pulled the "envelope" file out onto the desktop and fired mail back up... that resulted in the "loss" of a few recent inbox entries and did not solve the problem. Replaced envelope file with the original and now I have to rebuild all my mailboxes one at a time, as there are only headers for each email and a message in each email. The message says The message from xxxxxxx <[email protected]> concerning “xxx xxx” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.).
There are hundreds of individual mailboxes. Mail will not rebuild a folder within a folder.
I went around the back door to solve the problem of being unable to delete. Logged in using an internet mail program and deleted the offending emails. Shut the G5 down overnight and voila gone in the morning.

if some one knows anything or if there is anybody who can guide me step by step on how to fix this, i really will apreciate that.
thank you.

As cbs20 says...
Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
The screen should give you these choices...
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get help online
Disk Utility
First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.
