Help - Spinning Wheel everytime I log on - won't go away

I've had my iMac for a few years and it has been descent but after install Carbon Copy Clone and making a complete backup of my drive the spinning wheel now comes on after a minute or two and will not go away. I hard quit (hold the power button down) is the only way I get out. The wheel spins and can be moved around, but I can't do anything. I am a user not a Mac expert, so I've searched online and tried the things listed below but I really need some help. I'm actually having to use an old XP machine to post to the forum! Things I've tried
- Uninstalling Firefox (I thought it was only when I went on the web at first)
- Logged in as another user - still happened
- Uninstalled Carbon Copy
- Opened monitor before it hangs and the CPU usage stays the same and no services show as begin hung
- Opened the Console though no error msgs come up when it hangs.
I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be great. Thanks,
-Phil
I really do

Hi Phil, and a warm welcome to the forums!
How much Free Space do you have on your Hard Drive?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then 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 finishes.
Let us know where this lets us stand please.

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.

Spinning wheel everytime I click on something. Help?!

I'm trying to update my software to OS X 10.6.4 to download iTunes version 9.2 so I can update my iPhone 3gs to ios4. My macbook pro is running so slow, that whenever I click on something the spinning wheel comes up and basically freezes my computer for an insane amount of time before I can continue. So, thus I've tried downloading different updates separately and it will not work.
It was working fine until last night when I tried to update with all of the available updates at once and when I turned it on after THAT failed, it has being doing this. Even now if I try to install the updates separately the spinning wheel comes up! is very frustrating. I'll take any help. Thanks.

My Mac is dying?!? Help - Spinning wheel of death.

HELP My mac has become crazy slow, lots of spinning wheels while trying to access anything and everything. It's gotten progressively worse. I'm a home use but have set up 3 users on this machine. It's been like that since I set it up 3-4 years ago. Now when I do fast user switching it just hangs and never finishes. I have to shut it off. Then in order to get it to boot back up it's usually a process of 2-3 restarts. It'll will just sit on the apple screen and forever. I don't have the original CD so I can't use that to troubleshoot. I'd love to download it if possible. I downloaded AppleJack 1.5 yesterday in hopes to troubleshoot/repair but the first thing it says...
"AppleJack is designed to be run only in single user mode. Running this script while logged in as a user can crash your operating system (especially if you use it to delete the system's virtual memory or cache files), which would be more than a little bit counterproductive, since we're out to solve problems, not cause them."
I don't see a place to turn off the multi-user/accounts. So I'm stuck. And I'm sad. I'm addicted to my mac for fun and extra income. Please help!!

Unfortunately DU can't fix all that much, your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
Or, if you can afford to lose all the data on it, 1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then chose MacOS Extended Journalled.
6. Click Erase & look for Options. choose Zero 1 pass.

Spinning wheel everytime I click on content

I just installed DW CS3 on my MacBook Pro (2GB memory,
2.33GHz Core2Duo) running 10.4.10 with all updates installed.
Everytime I open a page to edit, whenever I click on or higlight
text (or tables, or anything at all), I always get a spinning wheel
for about 3 seconds before I can edit anything or perform a task. I
thought maybe I had a bad installation so I reformatted and
reinstalled my system from scratch, reinstalled the suite ( DW, PS,
Acrobat 8 Pro, Flash, Illustrator, InDesign) and still have the
same problem.
I have scanned and searched the forums and don't see a
similar listing for this problem. Does anyone have a clue as to why
this is happening. I absolutely cannot use DW to edit pages, the 3
second pause on every action is irksome to say the least. This
baffles me.
Thank you,
Troy

Please help - spinning wheel of death

My daughter's Mac recently encountered a problem that when attempting to either open iPhoto or play a DVD the computer just shuts down with no waring. Everything else works great. The local Mac store repair gurus (independent store in Boise, not an official Apple store) told her that the logic board was probably bad and she should buy a new computer. For $50 they made a full backup of her computer on an external drive and then had her use migration assistant to basically restore her user on her husband's computer with a new user account for her. OK, now all works fine, EXCEPT her main concern expressed to the Mac store - her iPhoto program. On her new users account on her husband's computer iPhoto attempts to open, gets the spinning wheel, and then must be force-quit (returns a message of non-responsive under force quit). She really wants the photos of her kids. Any suggestions? Thanks!

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, faces and places 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.

Macbook stuck at start up white/grey screen, no spinning wheel, nothing. Safe booting won't work.

it was working fine this morning, but i opened it back up about an hour ago after it had been asleep. screen was black and frozen so i resetted it using the power button.
now each time i start up all i get is a plain white screen, not even with a spinning wheel like everyone else seems to have. any ideas on how to fix this? safe starting doesnt work at all. brand new macbook bought in october 2013, never been dropped or anything

angie2711,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?
have you tried booting into Recovery mode and running the disk verification tool within Disk Utility there?

Help! Random blue screen appears and won't go away also getting glitches.

Hello,
So recently a blue screen has been randomly appearing taking up the whole screen, it won't go away until I hold down the button that turns laptop off. My screen has also been glitching and just now a glitch took up the whole screen then my background dissappeared to be left with this blue screen. Please help, I can't afford a new laptop!

That is odd and I'm not savvy enough to tell you what it means. But I'd venture a guess that you're in some kind of a debug mode. Again, a wild guess, but perhaps if you created a new admin account and log in with that, maybe the more (if that's the issue) will go away?
I'd start up in safe boot mode first and see if that helps. Maybe it's something running in your startup items?
Have you Googled the phrase? You might find something on a more technical Mac site that way? I just Googled <<event sysontoc>> and came up with a few leads you might want to check out.

Need Help - ipod video in trouble - white screen won't go away - help??

White Scree appears and won't go away. Can someone help?

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.
See: iPod service request.

Safari has to "think" (i.e. spinning wheel) everytime I click on anything

I had my computer shut down for 2 days while I was out of town and when I came back and restarted it, Safari started acting up on me. It takes an extremely long time to load any page and everything I click on anything, the rainbow spinny wheel comes up for about 30 seconds before whatever I was trying to do and then reloads the entire page. It was running totally fine before I shut it down for 2 days but this is super frustrating!
Anyone else having this problem or know the solution?

Welcome to the forums!
You haven't completed your details to show what operating system you are using, or what version of Safari, but try this:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit. Control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
If you use a router, does it have the latest firmware installed?
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
Also, third-party add-ons created for a previous version of Safari may cause problems:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

Help Deleting a OD Group Email That Won't Go Away

I seem to have a ghost and I could use help finding it...
There was a Open Directory Group that at some point an admin checked to enable the "Mailing list" for this group within Workgroup Manager (might have been back in 10.4). This group has since been deleted from OD yet the email group persists....somewhere. Do you know where? I sure don't.
Sometime after this group was deleted it was recreated but as a Mailman mailing list that effectively had the exact same name and that is when we started to notice that messages sent to "[email protected]" were not going to everyone included in the Mailman mailing list. Further investigation proved that the Mailman list was working 100% and that the messages simply never were received by Mailman. Yet, the messages were getting delivered to some users on the list. I realized after a month of this that it was being delivered to the users who were included in the old OD group. We have since deleted this Mailman mailing list and it is truly gone but the ghost list persists.
I've searched everywhere I can think of to track down this mysterious mailing list so I can purge it completely.
Besides just poking around the file system on both the mail server and the OD server I tried searching the directory using dscl but found nothing.
/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 > search . mail collections
We have a work in progress of moving accounts over to a new Kerio Mail Server but note that the problem pre-dates the introduction of this server into our network environment.
Here's a little bit about the servers and network:
- Master, Xserve intel, Server OS 10.5.8, DHCP, DNS, AFP shares, a few home directories
- Apple Mail Server, Mac mini, Server OS 10.5.8, stock server install w/ cyrus, Mailman, postfix, etc.
- Additional mail server - Kerio Mail Server 6.7, Xserve intel, server OS 10.6.2, just Kerio
Here's some example log entries that tells me the message is going through our current primary mail server and not some other server on our network:

Hi
If I've understood correctly deleting users and/or groups from WorkGroup Manager does not delete associated Mailboxes. You could try:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/46/62/
Most of us here over the years have favoured SirAdmin (rather than cyrusadmin) which works with 10.3, 10.5 and 10.5.
HTH?

Help required with pop up window that won't go away

I need to re-configure my network settings, but when I access 'network' in 'system preferences' a pop up window appears that states 'Your network setting have been changed by another application'. When I click 'OK', the window just re-appears and I cannot therefore access the network window. Help!

Look at this link. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9372513
I did BDAqua's suggestion
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

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 -

Help with Logic + Plug-ins-- Spinning Wheel of Death

I'm using Logic 9.1.8 with NI's Machine Mikro and a Focusrite 2i2. All of the most recent drivers are installed and I had been using them both in Logic successfully for days until today. Now every time I open Logic, the spinning wheel of death appears and will not go away, leading me to force quit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried erasing the Loop stuff in the Library folder as it has said on other boards. Please .

Thanks for your help. For whoever stumbles upon these postings and happens to have the exact problem is me. I drug the Maschine.component out of the plug-ins folder and on to the desktop, trashed the original, and started Logic Pro. I then went to preferences and made sure that Logic was opening an empty project at the time of launch. Before, when the spinning wheel of death was coming up, it was automatically going to my last project and, I believe, getting tripped up on mounting Maschine. Now everything works fine.

5 minutes spinning wheel getting info on files

I get a spinning wheel everytime I get info (APPLE i) on any files. Also, when in column view, when previewing file at the end, it does the same and last as long as 5 minutes. I did read Dr. Smoke's color spinning wheel. I did didk repair permission. I did find errors but didn't solve issue. I also logged into my wife's account and the problem is in hers as well.
Any clues?
As I was typing this, I had a new idea to test.... I went to try using spotlight and it's not finding anything..... I typed 'apple'..... nothing shows. Even the search bar in the finder isn't working!
Could spotlight be the culprit?
Thanks for your help.

Well I deleted DVD Studio Pro contents which gave me 9 gigs of space. Now I have 14.8 gigs of free space.
I rebooted computer and it seemed like it fixed it for a sec. A file showed up quickly at the end of view column. Spotlight was in the middle of indexing. I tried to do a search in the finder for "ne" nothing was showing up. As I try to close the window, the finder seemed like it forced quit & relaunched. Now it's back to the problem.
What is all this from the console???
