How do I deal with a spinning rainbow that precedes and delays the appearance of the arrow

For the past sevral weeks, my navigating in the Internet has been slowed down by the appearance of a spinning rainbow.  I eventually disappears and the arrow returns permitting me to proceed in my search.
Can this rainbow be eliinated?  Or can the process at least be speeded up?

To get an accurate reading with Activity Monitor you need to use your computer for at least a few hours doing the things you normally do, is that what you did when you saw 369mb of pageouts?
If all of your problems are when you're browsing you should try clearing all of your history, cookies and cache. You might also try another Browser, Firefix is good. http://appletoolbox.com/2011/10/make-safari-faster-clear-safari’s-cache-cookies- and-history/
I did a search and pretty much everyone thinks that 2gb of ram isn't enough for Lion. Take a look T the first post in this thread, it has several good tips on speeding up your Mac https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3238726?start=0&tstart=0

  • How do you deal with VZW's unfair business practices and speak to a real person?

    Has anyone else had issues with VZW's form of help in what they refer to as a "loyalty program."  I have been with VZW for about 15 years now and have been attending college for the past three years.  When I called and waited what seemed an eternity for customer service, the scripted customer service on the other end offered me what seemed to be the perfect "loyalty program" plan for me.  I rarely talk on my phone and at $70+ a month, I was feeling a bit taken advantage of.  The plan was $35/month but my minutes were greatly reduced, not that I was worried.  What they failed to mention was that nights and weekends were no longer included in my plan, as well as holidays; they would all be charged for from then on.  I found this out when I received my first bill ($135) and it was through the roof (December and holiday calls.)  When I called in and waited...and waited again, they told me that they would look into it and adjust it.  This never happened, and I called again.  And waited, and waited....when I talked to someone that time they told me they would take care of it.  They took care of the bill part, but not the plan itself.  You could imagine my surprise when my next bill came and it was even higher than the last (235.)  More research showed that they were charging me for VZW to VZW calls as well.  Three more attempts to talk to a manager concerning this issue, not to mention the waiting.  I then received a call from a "manager" who proceeded to speak to me in a condescending tone, blamed me for the issue, and no short called me a liar.  Did I fail to mention that "they" told me that my bill was adjusted to $140 just to tell me it was $235? 
    My time spent with VZW is now over six hours, yet my frustration is immeasurable.  Now I am receiving automated phone calls concerning my bill with no option to speak to anyone.  I don't feel like I should have to spend more time waiting....and literally, waiting to talk to somebody.  I want to pay my bill but feel that it is not what I was presented, nor would I ever have agreed to had I been given the information.  If I cannot come to a mutual agreement with VZW, I am willing to change carries.  Can anyone help? 

    Verizon has by far the worst customer service of any other carrier available. They make it near impossible to contact anyone. I guess they keep you on hold for a minimum of 30 minutes just so you will get fed up and hang up. All be it they have a very good coverage area, however it does not include my home in Oklahoma nor does it include y current job assignment in South Africa. So Verizon has a solution, pay for a service I cannot use. I have tried to suspend the phone indefinitely but that too has become a big issue. I check weekly expecting an underhanded maneuver on their part and sure enough they slipped it in. Verizon is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a service provider. I cannot believe I have been with them since 2008. In Mexico y bills were through the roof, $700 to $1000 a month. When I cam back from Ukraine they tried their suttle sales ad actually sold me a new subscription that would take away my old data package ad a phone that I could not use overseas, they will not unlock more than 1 phone in a 10 month period ad since I just had my phone unlocked the new phone could not be unlocked. Verizon will bend you over at every opportunity they can fine. As soon as my lawyer gets this settled I will never use nor will I ever refer anyone to Verizon again. My suggestion, cut your losses because I assure you they will continue to offend you, and find another service. Verizon is just plain not worth the trouble. Want an idea of how they monitor this community forum. They tell their own people to respond to the more frictional posts and insult the authors. Just read them, you can see this a mile away.

    First, try a different batch of recordable DVDs. If you still have problems, you may want to make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. The drive may be failing.

  • How does Essbase deals with multi-users

    How does Essbase deals with multi-users connecting for reading and writing in the same time? How the global coherence of the database is controlled when users are updating dimension and data all together?

    For reading, Essbase handles multiple requests concurrently. For metadata (outline) only one user at a time can make and save changes.For data, Essbase uses a block level locking mechanism, which implies that an update to a block can only be done by a single update request, but other blocks in the database are still updateable by other users.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade---------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

  • How do I deal with constant "error loading content" messages?

    I'm constantly seeing error messages on my Apple TV (2nd gen) on content I easily watch on my other iDevices. What gives? This thing is rapidly becoming a vy expensive paper weight. Possibly the worst Apple product I've yet purchased. Am I alone in this?  What can I do?

    You cannot connect to TC using USB.
    Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
    Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
    Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

EVERYTIME I reformat I have to authorize the same computer and so it takes up one of my 5 authorized computers...

Anywysw I need to reach apple and have them make it so I can do it again. I had a similar problem with Playstation and when I called them they fixed it for me... even windows (which you can only have one serial per computer) made it easy because all I had to do was call them and they fixed it for me. Now I need APPLE to do the same and this is the only place I could see to actually say what is going on... I can't believe I have to do this with my iPhone... I wanted an mp3 player and a phone together and if I can't put new songs until September 20, 2012 I am going to freak out!
    HELP!

  • How can I deal with long sql by the oo4o?

    I am using VB and oo4o to develop a sql executor which is a extention of an old system.
    For some reason, I have to use oo4o v8.1.7 to deal with Oracle Database 8i to 11g.
    But when I send a very long sql(11KB) to it I got a error in the VB enviroment.
    The Err.Description is "automention error. Started object is disconnected by the client.".
    The Err.Number is "-2147417848 ".
    The sql that I send it to the program is a simple select sql that like select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 2, 3) .... from A_TBL where A=aa;
    This sql is normally executed by the sqlplus but I got an error by the oo4o.
    When I insert a '' between the 30Xth items, it got exectuted normally.
    ex. select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 1, 2) ..... substrb(303th, 3, 4), '', substrb(304th, 1, 2) ... from A_TBL where A = aa;
    How can I deal with this problem? Thanks.

    So how can use this function correctly?By learning what exceptions are, how they're used, and what you can do to deal with them. There's a tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.htmlAnd here's a quick overview:
    The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
    RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
    If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
    Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.
