Have to constantly wait for spinning wheel to stop when browsing

I would appreciate some advice on how to change things to stop the spinning wheel being a hindrance to web browsing and moving between different applications.
Thanks,

Hello PTal and welcome to discussions,
There could be several reasons why you are suffering the Spinning Beach Ball of Death ( SBBD )
How much free space is there left on that drive please?
Click once on the hard drive icon. Then hold down the  key and hit i
Capacity XX
Available XX
Used XX
Post back with your values of XX
Have you done any maintenance on that computer recently?
Repairing permissions. Running anything like Onyx or Macjanitor or YASU.
Has the problem just started?
Have you changed anything to generate the SBBD?
Sorry to ask so many questions in exchange for your one.
Let us all know please.
Regards
Ian.

    In Word I constantly get the spinning wheel of death, wait a few seconds and then go again. I have tried force quit several times, restarting the IMac etc. Waited one day, nothing seems to work. What to try next?

  • I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

    I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

    I'm not Klaus but can give an opinion on this part:
    As a Mac man yourself do you think that the retina display is worth waiting for? 
    I'm 65, have used Macs since 1989, and struggle with displays, cataracts, and bifocals. What I've seen of the Retinas in stores is that text size gets sacrificed for image quality. There are quite a few complaints about Retina in the MacBook Pro forums about not being able to increase the size of menu text without it getting fuzzy.
    My iMac 27-inch is about a year old and I can set the display res from its default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 and everything is sharp. I understand that handy trick will not work for either the older hi-res macbook pros or the Retinas, so I don't expect it for any other Macs.
    Speculation on Apple policy and new product releases is actiually not allowed by the Terms of Use around here so I doubt you'll get an answer to the "when" part. Anyone who does answer "when" is either guessing it up or violating a non-disclosure agreement!   Apple plays its cards close to its vest and we average users only know "when" when Apple posts the announcement.

    If you're running Windows, close iTunes, right-click on the iTunes icon and choose Run as Administrator, then try syncing again.

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS. If you try installing an earlier iOS you get the error message. Apple only supports installing/restoring to iOS 6.0.1 on the 4G and 5G iPods.

  • Safari gives me the spinning wheel every time I browse, have to force-quit

    Hello,
    I've been having a ton of issues with Safari these past few weeks. I'm using version 3.2.1 (4524.27.1) and I've reset, trashed preferences, nuked fonts, run OnyX, repaired permissions... and I'm still having the same problems.
    Basically after I've browsed for about 5 minutes, Safari will hang on whatever page I'm trying to load, whether I'm loading up pages in multiple tabs or just a single page. Sometimes I can get the page to finish loading and continue browsing if I hit "stop" and "reload" a bunch of times, but mostly I get the spinning beach ball wheel, and then Safari shows up as "not responding" in my Force Quit Applications window. The program doesn't crash - it just gives me the spinning ball until I have to force-quit, relaunch, and start over - only to do it all again.
    It's driving me bonkers - I even had the cable company come out and check my cable modem connection (I'm using RoadRunner), but it was running normally.
    Below is my console log from this morning, when I started up and had to force-quit Safari again. Hopefully the issue is really obvious and I can get back to normal:

    Hi everyone -
    First off, thanks for all the suggestions. I've tried each one - unfortunately, Safari is still giving me the spinning wheel when I surf for more than a couple of minutes.
    Taking QuicktimeKirk's advice, I did a discussions search for "DNS issue" and found several threads that recommended adding OpenDNS DNS Servers to the Network preferences pane (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220). I also registered at the OpenDNS website and installed their "OpenDNS Updater" software.
    After I did this, Safari seemed to actually go to the spinning wheel, freeze-up state quicker... although I might be a bit paranoid.
    I forgot to mention that I already had "Warn when visiting a fraudulent website" checked off the in the preferences pane, and replacing Safari with Firefox as the default browser unfortunately didn't make much of a difference.
    I'm copying below my most recent Console log. Perhaps there's something different I need to do with DNS...? Quicktime Kirk, if you suspect it's something to do with DNS, could you please be more specific with regards to what I should be looking for? I really appreciate it.
    Thanks again for all the tips, everyone. I've got my fingers crossed that with your help, I'll be back to normal soon!

  • HELP! RESTARTED MACBOOK AND NOW HAVE STUCK LOGIN SCREEN WITH SPINNING WHEEL

    So basically i restarted my macbook pro because it was performing very slowly for some reason. After i restarted it i logged in and the apple logo with the spinning wheel was stuck on the screen. I have filevault 2 on. My OS X is mavericks. I have backed up my data so i dont mind if i will have to delete the data on my macbook pro. Please help and thank you!

    So you recently replaced the original drive with a new one, is that correct?
    If so do you have a SATA/IDE to USB adapter or an Enclosure of some type?
    All Mac notebooks that have removable/replaceable hard drives also have a cable that goes from the drive to the Logic board. These cable are known to fail at any time or become intermittent. Working for some things and not for others.
    One way, and the best way, to check if it is the cable is to connect a known previously working hard drive to the system by one of these adapters or enclosures and running the system from there. If the system runs fine, although slower, and that same hard drive doesn't work when installed inside the system then it is most likely the cable that is at fault.
