Everytime I click there is a color wheel

I've tried everything and gone on all sorts of fourms to see why my Photoshop CC is freezing up, when it shouldn't. The color wheel appears when I click a new tool, click a layer, anything. I've upped the cache, ram used for photoshop and the same thing still happens.
Here are the specs for my computer:
iMac
OS X Version 10.8.4
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
Thank you!

You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • When in mail preferences, if i click on anything, the color wheel appears

    when the color wheel appears, it takes a long time to revert to the arrow cursor.  i click on something else, the color wheel appears and i have to wait again. everything else seems to work o.k.

    Quit Mail.
    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch Mail. It should re-index your mailboxes. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

  • Renaming of tracks = color wheel. Any ideas?

    Hello everyone,
    I recently transfered my entire song to another file via the methods explained in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3483707#3483707
    Now, in this new song, renaming tracks using "option-double click" causes the "spinning color wheel" to occur. After about a min the color wheel disappears and I'm able to rename the track, but this has me worried as there is NO WAY my system should be choking on renaming tracks!
    I have ran onyx and repaired the disk permissions before I made this song transfer, and everything seemed to be working fine for the past few days. Only today did I decide to rename my tracks for temp mixing purposes and noticed this problem.
    What is going on? Should I be concerned?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • MagicPicker color wheel panel with keyboard shortcut?

    Hi!
    There's a color wheel panel for Photoshop named MagicPicker that sits in the Window -> Extensions -> MagicPicker menu. Is there a way to assign it a keyboard shortcut? I found no way to do it in the Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts... Thanks for any help!

    You might be able to assign a keyboard shortcut (function key) by recording an action using Insert Menu Item
    and then picking the color wheel panel from Window>Extensions and using the Action Options to assign a function key.
    Example using the Adobe watermark panel:

  • Safari freezes for a minute or two and there's a rotating color wheel

    Quite often, when going to different websites and stuff, Safari will freeze up, and there will be a rotating color wheel, and then after a couple minutes it will load the page. It's pretty annoying and I'd like to get it fixed. It's a Macbook Pro with the Snow Leopard update on Mac OS X. I'm pretty new to Macs(just got this about 2 weeks ago). Any help would be great. Thanks!

    HI... welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on our new Mac!
    Use Open DNS
    Click the computer icon and follow the instructions.
    Also, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache
    and... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    And...
    1. Quit Safari if it's running.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
    • Downloads.plist
    • History.plist
    • LastSession.plist
    4. Restart Safari and restart your Mac.
    *"when going to different websites and stuff, Safari will freeze up"*
    If Safari freezes up when visiting sites with Flash content, try Uninstalling the current Flash Player Plugin, then reinstall new.
    How to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player plugin:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    When you are finished uninstalling the old Flash plugin, go here and install a fresh copy
    of Flash Player plugin
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    As with any installations, repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • While using Firefox when I click the mouse or when typing like this I get the Mac spinning color wheel and any action is delayed about 10 seconds.

    I'm on an iMac, 10.4, Firefox 3.6.20 and the problem is occurring with greater frequency. When I installed 3.6.20, it ran perfectly for a short time, but now the spinning color wheel happens on almost every mouse click and it makes using Firefox an impossibility. I tried the Apple installed Safari and had no difficulties. It does not occur when I use Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 either. I will appreciate any help because I rely on Firefox. Thanks.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • My iPhone wont let me look at my messages everytime I click on the icon it just freezes there,and then aborts its self out. My friend sent me all these pictures and I think that's why? How do I fix it? HELP!

    My iPhone wont let me open my text messages.  Everytime I click on the icon it freezes there for a minute and then aborts itself. My friend sent me a whole bunch of pictures at once and I believe that's why. I need a solution! HELP! Please.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Itunes giving me a color wheel when clicking on iphone in the side bar.

    so recently ive been trying to back up my iphone. when i connect my iphone using a usb direct connect; i go to click on my iphone in the side panel in itunes and i get the color wheel and eventually i have to force quit itunes. ive tried to back up my iphone over the cloud and that doesnt work either. my computer (mac) recognizes my iphone (ie i can transfer photos through iphoto). I also can't get music to transfer or delete music off of the iphone through itunes. i feel as if the phone and itunes arent communicating. bascially anything i try to do through itunes doesnt work.
    im running itunes 11.1.5 (5) and its 64 bit on a mac 10.8.3, the iphone is an iphone 5 running ios 7.0.4.
    im trying to update due to the security hole in that version but i want to back up before i do it.
    im thinking maybe the driver is corrupt? but then i feel that iphoto wouldnt respond if that was the case.
    Please help! ive tried reinstalling itunes but that didnt work, also i tried doing an indepth deleting of itunes but osx wont let me delete the itunes application. ive looked all over these forums and cannot find any info on this...

    Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

  • Everytime I click on a link it opens up a new tab, is there a way to stop this?

    I do not want a tab to open everytime i click on something on a page. I end up having 20 tabs open at once. Is there a way I can turn this off so that my page will just switch to the new page.

    I get the revolving color wheel whenever I click on anything online.

    How much FREE RAM do you have when this occurs. It's easy to tell, when it beach balls open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) click the System Memory tab and note how much FREE RAM is listed. If it's 500MB or less it's time for a RAM upgrade.

    Sorry, this is not possible in the current version of Firefox, but we have an open bug report where we are tracking this issue here:

    With luck it will be fixed in a future version.
