Hanging Spinning Wheel

I am trying to play a mental game on the AARP web site.  However the spinng wheel appears upon selecting "Play"  I am running OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7.  Thinking this was a problem with Adobe Flash Player, I have downloaded and run the Adobe uninstaller program for Flash Player and then downloaded and installed Flash Player 11.2.  No luck.  What's next?  
Thanks, Kristen

oops - it's Flash Player v 11.3 not 11.2

  • OS 10.4.10 Hangs, Spinning wheel, Wont startup, kernel panic

    I have had all of these things happen in the last couple of days. The most recent update is the only system change that has occured. I have tried Disk utility (from within OS and off recover disks). Recover disk utility says "reserved fields in the catalog record have incorrect data" and invalid leaf record count, it should be 16 instead of 33". It says one HFS volume repaired one volume could not be repaired. Both quick and long hardware test report pass.
    I am about to try fsck.
    Any suggestions before I try recovery reinstall? BTW, I upgraded from 10.3.9. Do I have to to recover to 10.3.9 before returning to 10.4?

    I had to run fsck twice to get a disk OK response. I then ran Disk Utility/repair disk from the recovery disk and I still get 1 HFS volume repaired and 1 volume could not be repaired. OS X is up and running for the time being, it has worked like this for a day and then gone unstable.
    Ant thoughts?

  • Help - MacBook spinning wheel blues! 10% of normal speed but tests OK???

    I have had my MacBook for around two months now. I upgraded the memory to 2GB with 3rd party DIMMs specifcallly sold for the Mac Book and carrying a lifetime warranty. The Mac Book is never moved and only used in clamshell mode on a thick (and cool) marble-topped table. I have an external Apple USB keyboard, Blutooth mouse and 17" LCD monitor.
    Suddenly last Thursday I started getting the dreaded spinning wheel hangs trying to do absolutely anything. I have tried the following in order of escalation:
    1. Restarted
    2. Repaired permissions - all OK
    3. Repaired the drive - all OK
    4. Run the Hardware Test (then the extended test) - all OK
    5. Re-installed the software (with archive) the OS from MacBook DVD-ROM
    6. Backed-up then did a re-install and erase - i.e. factory config
    7. Zeroed the whole drive overnight and repeated 7
    All without any effect on the apalling hangs/spinning wheel during every finder or application operation. Just backing up to DVD-R took 3 days because it took around 10 times longer to write each disk tham indicated by Toast. Thankfully my external DVD drive has buffer under-run prevention.
    Any ideas? I would be suspicious that it was a memory or HD problem but the hardware tests say otherwise and there are no craches or errors being reported.
    Had I been in the UK then I would have returned it to the shop for repair, but I am in Turkey and the only service agent is 1,000 miles away in Istanbul. I am not confident that they would fix the problem as no hardware errors are being indicated.
    Help! (sent c/o my old iBook G4/800Mhz - around five times faster than the Mac Book now).

    Hi,
    You need to try taking out the RAM that you replaced and put the stock RAM back in. See if that does anything. Also, try resetting the PMU. Although that deals with the Power Managment, it seems that resetting it will cure a lot of problems as well. To do this, take out the battery, hold down the power button for 5 seconds without the computer plugged in, and then replace the battery and see what happens. If trying these steps does not solve the problem, I would call Apple Care. I know nothing about the service in Turkey, but hopefully Apple will be able to help.

  • Slow, Unresponsive, Spinning Wheel - Help!!!!!!!!!!

    I am running Snow Leopard on a iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3GB RAM.
    Just over a week ago my machine started being extremely slow, unresponsive and displaying the spinning wheel. At times it won't restart, it gets stuck either on the blue screen or the logo screen.
    At first I tried repairing disk and disk permission, but this didn't help.
    Next, I tried a clean install of Snow Leopard and restored my full backup from Time Machine. However, the problems persisted. I even tried repeating this a few times.
    Then I tried, clean install with restoring the full backup and the machine seemed to be working with stalling, hanging, spinning wheel, etc...
    But then I started doing fresh installs of my applications and restore some important files from Time Machine and the problems have returned.
    This morning the machine would become unresponsive and it would take at 5-10 minutes for the spinning wheel to disappear and then as soon as I suggest using an application the wheel would return. Eventually, I restarted the machine, but it sticks on the logo screen and still now I can only start in safe mode.
    I do not fully understand the information in Activity Monitor but I cannot see anything obvious, although, WindowServer and kernel_task appears to use a lot of CPU/Memory at times.
    Can anyone help?

    Only one DVD came with the computer
    System discs come in pairs. Disc #1 is the install disc which includes AHT. Disc #2 is the bundled software - restore disc.
    You need to let Apple know that you are missing a system disc. You will need to provide Apple the computer serial number in order to get the correct one - US (800) 767-2775. If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

    Drop-in DVD
    Never heard of those. What is a "drop-in?"

  • ARD Administrator hangs with "Spinning Wheel of Death" after Apple Updates

    Help! I added the required eight Apple Updates today (11/23/09) and Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) Administrator stopped working. The installed updates are iTunes, 9.0.3, Remote Desktop Client Update 3.3.1, Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5 1.0, Security Update 2009-006 1.0, Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1, Safari 4.0.4, Performance Update 1.0, and iMovie Update 8.0.5.
    Since these updates, the ARD Administrator hangs up (spinning wheel) when trying to activate it. I receive the error message:
    The Remote Desktop Administrator software failed to start due to an unexpected error. The Remote Desktop software may not be installed correctly, or the computer may require a restart. [Quit]
    I have tried restarts, poweroffs, etc., but the ARD Administrator stills hangs. What can I do to reverse the last ARD update?

    Without java, Safari is just as fast as Firefox. And if you do for some reason need java, you can use Firefox instead (as I had to, to log into the Apple Discussions" page.
    Safari is faster than Firefox. There are very few sites that need use Java, so unless you know a site uses it, it should always be disabled. And for clarification, no part of the Apple web site uses Java, so there's no reason to have it activated.

  • Logi 9.1.7 still hanging and showing spinning wheel.... on os x lion...

    Hi.
    i am still having trouble with logic 9.1.7 and osx lion.
    sometimes the program works fine with now hanging wheel, but most of the time the program will play, i can edit then for a few seconds it just hangs on the spinning wheel, continues play back and then becomes responsive again, this happens through out the program most of the time. This is most frustrating and damaging my work flow, so i want a solution. I've done the monitor activity, cancelled all login items, have enough ram and disk space on all drives. i have even taken a log of the process when it hangs via activity monitor.

  • 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.

  • OS hangs with spinning wheel

    I just did an upgrade to Yosemite (from 10.7.5) on my spare MacBook Pro.  Things appeared to proceed correctly but I have two problems:
    WiFi will not connect.  Did not recognize the usual connection and just hangs when I reenter the password.
    The OS hangs with the spinning wheel.  For example, if I attempt to pull down the apple to verify what version is installed.
    I have run disk utilities (from the recovery start-up partition) to verify the disk and correct permissions and then restarted..  Have done this twice.
    (If needed, I have a full clone backup from before the upgrade and could go back and start over — but with a lot of lost time.)
    What do do?

    How much RAM do you have installed? Yosemite needs a minimum of 4 GB to operate smoothly and more is better.

  • Cannot boot (Hangs on Apple logo/spinning wheel)

    I just turned off my computer by holding down the power button after Parallels froze on me, and now my Mac won't start up. It hangs on the white screen with the Apple logo and spinning wheel. Some more info:
    1. I can get into Hardware Test and Mac OS X Installer
    2. I have a Time Machine backup (if nothing else works)
    3. I have tried Disk Utility and Hardware Test and they both tell me everything looks "OK"
    Do I have any other options besides reinstalling Leopard? And what could have caused this to happen???

    Hi
    im experiencing the same problem as well
    i downloaded and installed a few updates on sunday and i thought it was normal for the apple logo and spinning wheel to come out after the update
    i went to bed thinking that it would take awhile

  • Safari hang with spinning wheel of death

    Safari frequently hangs with the spinning wheel of death. In the lower left corner it reports "completed X of Y items", but as X increases so does Y, so Safari never seems to finish all the "items" on a page.
    I have finally figured out how to fix the problem. In the Safari pull down menu, select "preferences", and then un-check "enable java" and un-check "enable javascript".
    Without java, Safari is just as fast as Firefox. And if you do for some reason need java, you can use Firefox instead (as I had to, to log into the Apple Discussions" page.

    Without java, Safari is just as fast as Firefox. And if you do for some reason need java, you can use Firefox instead (as I had to, to log into the Apple Discussions" page.
    Safari is faster than Firefox. There are very few sites that need use Java, so unless you know a site uses it, it should always be disabled. And for clarification, no part of the Apple web site uses Java, so there's no reason to have it activated.

  • 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. 

  • G6-2321dx hangs on hp logo with spinning wheel

    Andrew9534 Andrew9534 Student
    3:24 PM
    Hello hp,
    I am trying to fix an hp pavilion g6-2321dx running Windows 8.1. Every 10 or so restarts, the computer gets stuck at the hp logo with the spinning wheel when trying to boot. I then have to hard reset the computer which either loads Windows or brings up the same spinning wheel of death.
    Repairs performed:
    -Conducted with hardware scans and everything passes.
    -Reinstalled Windows 8.1 using the official .ISO from the Microsoft website.
    -Reinstalled Windows 8.1 with an HP OEM DVD.
    -Replaced hard drive.
    -chkdsk scans (no errors)
    -sfc scans (no errors)
    -Turned off Hybrid Boot
    -Turned off Secure Boot
    -Turned off advanced boot Options
    -Turned off driver signature enforcement and early-launch antimalware protection
    -Updated all drivers
    -Uninstalled and Reinstalled all Windows Drivers
    THE PROBLEM PERSISTS!
    I have the feeling that this problem relates to an error between the EUFI and Windows. I looked into EUFI update as my laptop is at F.26 but the support page for the g6-2321dx does not list an update (or I just can't seem to find it).
    I have found a webpage saying sp66880.exe is the installer for F.29 for this model laptop, but the ftp site says the webpage is unavailable.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I just finished the reinstall. Turns out you have to be very, very, very patient. Took 2 hours roughly.
    I ordered the restore CD's from HP for this laptop. The first attempt was unsuccessful. If at first you don't succeede you have to wipe the hard drive. For some reason the restore will not complete if reminates of a previous attempt fail.
    Total cost of restore disks is $30.75 . You have to order Windows 8 restore disks, not 8.1 since the laptop went to market with Windows 8.
    The laptop appears to be doing fine at this point. I'm installing updates which will take a couple of weeks :-)
    I'll post back with results.

  • After iOS5, iPhone 4 shuts down and hangs with spinning wheel

    This has happened twice so far. I'm not aware of any particular action that causes the problem. I know in both cases it happened while the iPhone had a good charge. Next time I looked at it, the screen showed the spinning wheel one normally sees during shutdown, but was stuck there.
    I'm surprised I'm not seeing this on the forum already. Anyone else?

    You're not alone Jason.  I've been having this problem after the second update for iOS5.  My Iphone had been working great and I became very attached to it.  Maybe you and I are the only ones to have this issue?
    For any future posters, I continue to have this problem after:
    - restoring my phone as a new device (not restoring settings\data from backup)
    - refrain from downloading any apps
    - ensuring apps are turned off when not using them
    This is affecting my job now where I'll probably have to buy a cheap phone to ensure my clients can always get a hold of me.  If you're reading Apple....please help us.
