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

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Upgrading 4 different macs - 10.8.2 - ALL 4 hangs with apple logo but before spinning wheel

    Crazy! Never happened to me EVER, not even close and I've been using and administrating macs since 89. Upgraded all my macs, incl the MBP of my nephew; MBP Retina, MacBook Unibody (hybriddisk), MBP 17" + Mac Mini (thunderbolt) ALL ultimately needed reformating drive and fresh install to get up & running again, hours of extra work! All identical freeze displaying apple logo but no spinning wheel. Could start all in recover mode but could not from there remedy whatever fault there was. 3 of the macs more or less (Retina & MacBook) identical equipped software-wise but MBP 17" very sparse software (belonging to computer-"illiterate" so no fancy software. The latter had Lion so in that case as opposed th eother macs this wasn't an incremental 10.8.1->10.8.2 upgrade.
    I have upgraded all macs fresh via internet so no upgrade via downloaded install file on for ex usb-unit.
    Any ideas?? I'm really frustrated and disappointed, this cannot be a freak occurence!

    I have no helpful reply to give you except moral support: I'm having the exact same problem (going from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 on a 2010 MacBook Pro.) I have tried reboots, reloads, disk repair, permission repair (between each attempt I reloaded from a clone).  Also tried loading it, then repairing from Recovery mode, then restarting. Endless spinning wheel at the Apple logo as 10.8.2 attempts its first startup every time. 

  • CC Installer will not install - spinning wheel (MAC)

    I've had an installed CC on a desktop for many months now.
    I have installed the Adobe CC on a laptop. However, the screen contains a endless spinning wheel.
    The computer is indeed connected to the Internet. And I have used my correct credentials to sign in.
    Any idea why the problem?

    Photo_mikey please see Creative Cloud app doesn't open and hangs on spinning progress wheel - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html for information on how to resolve the current error which you are experiencing.

  • Please can anyone help me. Spinning wheel on any operation after Mavericks Install.

    I would really appreciate anybody's help as I am desperate. Thank you in advance.
    After 3 days I have finally got a system running again on my macbook pro mid 2012 but not a without major problem.
    I am constantly getting the spinning colour wheel and i can hardly do anything. Booting up in safe mode is fine and I get no spinning wheel.
    Briefly what has happened -
    4 days ago I decided to make a clean install of mavericks as I wanted to clear the clutter from my hard drive and the fact i was getting a spinning colour wheel very ten minutes for around 10 seconds thus interrupting my work. The download and install kept failing toward the end of installation process. Through recovery mode and disk utility i wiped my hard rive to put on a fresh copy but that left me with no recovery, no OS and it has taken 3 days for me and some help from a guy in the apple community to finally get a system running.
    Unfortunately my only internet connection (which i sci-fi) is at a cafe in the small village I live in and I have no access to another mac or internet connection and there is no genius bar or mac tech of any sort near by. So I went through the steps of 'internet recovery mode' which kept failing but after 2 days and hours in the cafe I managed to install mountain lion onto a usb stick. With this I was able to put mountain lion on my system. It seemed fine and I then went onto download mavericks. Every time the installation failed. It takes nearly four hours for it to even download. Last night through endless attempts using the createinstallmedia method i was able to wipe my usb that had mountain lion on and put mavericks installer onto it. So i was left with a usb stick with mavericks installer on it and mountain lion on my macbook pro.
    Last night I kept trying to install mavericks via Disk Utility in recovery mode because trying to install it from the usb just wasn't working. after attempts here and there and no luck - In disk utility i saw on the left My apple hard drive and underneath the name of my personally named HD. Below that was a horizontal line and below was a yellow/orange hd with disk02 labelled next to it and one called base system. Below that my usb with install os x mavericks.
    This morning, in the cafe I managed to get mavericks working via disk utility in recovery mode. The problem is when i click on finder in the dock, when i try open an app, click on the menu bar - I get the coloured spinning wheel which keeps going for at least two minutes. I fixed disk permissions, run verify disk and everything was fine, started in safe mode and everything is fine. I reset my pram, smc and still i have this spinning wheel when i try do anything . I have my phone with me and its been the only way i can go online to try solve any problem what so ever but as of this moment i have typed and no spinning wheel but if open another tab it will start. I managed to download ETRECHECK and have my results, I also looked at my console which I don't understand but obviously something is wrong. I will post below my results from etrecheck and console, if someone could advice me I would be very grateful.

  • Macbook Pro 10.6.8 won't shut down. Blue screen with spinning wheel.

    it's an 15 inch macbook pro. since I bought this computer was working fine about last year. Somehow, start of this year, the problem begins. Everytime when i opened microsoft word 2011 on mac or Photoshop cs5, and quit the software as normaly. When i try to shut down the blue screen with spinning wheel apears. this spining wheel is endless. But funny thing is that after use other software such as games, web browser (safari) etc. and quit them. when i shut down there was not a problem. only word 2011 for mac and adobe photoshop cs5. Any solutions?

    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or freeze, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search that archived log, and if necessary the older ones below it, for the same information.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Do the same with kernel.log.
    Step 3
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Been trying to fix spinning wheel for over a week HELP!

    My Snow Leopard IMac has been stuck in spinning wheel mode forever    I have used utility to verify permission and to repair disk but no matter what each time I start the computer I get a message that Firefox hasn't logged out because there is a script running.    It asks if I want to stop the scrip but whenever I move the mouse to say yes it just starts the spinning wheel again and I have no control over the computer at all because moving the mouse just wakes up the spinning wheel.
    How can i get my computer back please?? Thanks if you can help with this FOREVER problem? 

    I will try those --- I would say that I did try to start it earlier today with the Shift Key held on startup which I guess is supposed to be SAFE MODE?   anyway - the same thing happened in safe mode, the endless spinning.
    I don't understand Safe Mode or what it is supposed to do but it didn't do anything in my case.
    I will read your links and hopefully be able to figure this out. 
    Is there any way in terminal that I can figure out what is making this spinning thing?
    For a long time when i tried to start my computer it would always say You were not logged out because Firefox was still running or something along that line and I had the spinner but it would quit -  This was going on for a month or so at least prior to this problem

  • My Iphoto won't load...spinning wheel just goes on and on

    Hi.  I have iphoto '11 v 9.1.5 (615).  Suddenly stopped loading corrrectly.  When I try to open the app the spinning wheel just spins endlessly.   I tried to run a test by choosong my Time Machine folder.   I got a message saying that the folder would need to be upgraded.   Out of fear i hit cancel...and thought best to check on this forum first. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!

    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 then 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. 
    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 you are able to create and open a new library then problem lies with your original library.  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.

  • IPhoto 9.2.1 empty screen with spinning wheel

    Hello,
    I got a problem. I am using iPhoto Library Manager, because I use multiple libraries and the problem occurs only, when I open old 8.1.2 libraries in iPhoto 9.2.1. The conversion starts and ends - I see the whole library, but after closing iPhoto and then reopen a converted library I will get this application window:
    I can close iPhoto, but I could not get to any state to see any menue on the left or any event or album information, nor any image in the black. The spinning wheel runs endless, doing nothing.
    I tried to remove the preferences - won't work
    I tried to rebuild the Library (start iPhoto with options+comand key pressed) as well as using the iPhotoLibraryManager function to rebuild. No change
    I repaired the permissions - no change at all.
    In iPhoto Library Manager I will get a error after library rebuild process:
    Rebuild library is empty and useless.
    It only happens to converted libraries. If I open old libraries in iPhoto 8.1.2 they do fine and work, the problem only happens after converting the libraries to the iLife'11 database format and reopen it. After the first convertion process all looks quite nice and well, but after closing iPhoto and reopen iPhoto with the converted library this error occurs.
    I found, that within the iPhoto Library a folder masters is present, it contains the photos. When I open iPhoto with a new library - which works fine - and import the pictures from this master folder, this new build library will do fine and reopen without any problem - but all albums, facebook shares, photo descriptions and ratings are lost.
    Also in this master folder several other folders were present, showing small images of other photos fram various other libraries, mainly those I shared on facebook.
    If the screen with the spinning wheel shows, I click to the modify or edit button at the bottom right of the iPhoto window and iPhoto shuts abnormal - crash report is send to apple.
    I have the problem with now three libraries and it would not be worse if I would have this error once and it would appear imediately, but it appears only on reopen after a convertion process - so I found it out as it was to late.
    Any help? Any advice?

    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7)  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
    Regards
