How do I stop the "Spinning Wheel?!?!" (screenshot included)
I have ran into this many times and thought it was just a glitch with my machine, But was surprised to see that it is still doing it on my brand new macbook that I set up fresh.
Whenever I have iMoive open and plug in an SD card, Flash drive, etc, I will get this on my desktop:
(the colored thing in the background is my desktop wallpaper)
And it does NOT go away unless I quit iMovie completely!
Is there anyway to fix this?
I had maybe same problem. I had the spinning red rainbow ball with imovie during export to imovie. Stopped exporting the last two minutes, but other projects worked fine to export. I had delete the project the stopped in the last two minutes and import again, what a pain. Now it works fine. Good luck...

How do I stop the spinning wheel that replaced the cursor in a Word document?
Something is causing Word to lock up. Restart the laptop and/or reinstall Office/Word to fix the instability. Maybe even a bad plugin or document could be causing this if it's only happening when you open a particular doc.

HOW DO YOU STOP THE SPINNING WHEEL OF DEATH?
How do you eliminate the Wheele of Death? I have a Mac mini. OS X 10.9.2?
This is the MacBook Pro forum, neither the Mac mini forum nor the Mavericks forum.
If I were you, I would post on the Mavericks forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mavericks.

How to stop the spinning wheel?
Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:

How do I stop the spinning ball?
How do I stop the spinning ball? It has just begun in the last couple of days. Very annoying. Must wait 10-20 seconds to access an Internet site or information into a Google site. It even stopped me in the midst of typing this message.

How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going
How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going. I think I have to remove cookies, but I don't know how.
I think I solved it.
I searched my extensions folder (in my profile) for all image files (PNG and JPG), and found the pop-up images to be in an extension folder related to Firefox Sync (not an external extension, actually). But even though I had already disabled it and un-linked this computer from Firefox Sync, the message still popped-up.
I think the image filename was SYNC.PNG, or something like that. Close Firefox, find the folder where that image is in, and rename the main folder (the one right under the extensions folder) to some other name (such as "original name_copy"). Then start Firefox. Check if it works OK and if the pop-up ceases to appear. If everything OK, then you can delete that folder.
If something goes wrong, just rename the folder to what it was before. -
How can I stop a spinning wheel?
How do i stop a spinning coloured wheel? I have a cd of photos in the external disc drive which will not eject. I have about 20 photos from the cd on my desk top which i cannot close. Any help will be much appreciated as i can't do anything on the computer till i solve this problem.
Quit the application you are using to view the photos then drag the CD icon to the Trash. The Trash icon should turn into an Eject icon.

How do I remove the spinning wheel on Mac Mini?
How do I remove the colored spinning wheel on my Mac mini?
To "remove" the spinning wheel it's best that you understand what it is and then you can troubleshoot it. Please read the article in this link:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html
If you want to post back and get some help then start by posting an EtreCheck report of your system and we can look for obvious causes. -
How can I stop the color wheel of death from letting me key?
I am using Lion Mac OS X version 10.7 on an iMac. Since installing Lion, I get the color wheel every few minutes. This is diving me crazy! I try to key anything and it just stops me cold. I waait it out and then start over , I key 2 -3 words and the color wheel is back. HELP!
First, check to see that Spotlight is not indexing. Click on your Spotlight icon upper right toolbar and see if there is a progress bar. If that's the case, you need to let it finish indexing before you'll get better performance.
If not, next boot from the Lion recovery partition by booting up holding the "c" key and run Repair Disk.
Also, how much RAM are you running? -
Mail don't stop the spinning wheel
and I can't access my mails from MobileMe, my two other accounts in Mail are working. I realized that I still can send mails from my MobileMe account but my mail application
shows the wheel, even if the mail I send is already out and received.
Strange issue. MobileMe is always receiving slower mails then the other accounts, but now......?!?!
thanks in advance for any idea.I had the same problem pop up earlier this week.
Menus greyed out/spinning wheel.
Apple support told me to nuke my gmail account and reinstall it.
That did not fix it. But I did lose all of the messages in my gmail
inbox. What a surprise. Apple support fails again.
Perhaps Apple could enlighten us about the bug in their software that is causing the
problem and ETA for a fix.
I found this fix on another thread:
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
then it will import you mail messages into the mailbox. -
HT1338 how can I fix the spinning wheel in mail application? app is not working!
My mail is not working properly. For son reasons that I don't know it show a spinning wheel and it won't alow me to open a mail or compose any. Does anybody know a solution for this??
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support. -
How do I get the spinning wheel to stop?
I updated to Mavericks several weeks ago and haven't had a bit of trouble. Yesterday, I tried doing a screen grab of a pic and it started spinning and wouldn't stop even after I shut it down. When it restarted, the ball is still there and spinning.
Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. -
Why is the rainbow color wheel spinning as I try to install a downloaded printer driver? It won't even let me put in the computer password to begin the install. Help!
Disconnect the printer. Restart your Mac.
Then try downloading the drivers.
If that doesn't help, exactly which printer drivers are you trying to download and from where? -

You can check the flash help for that
here is the small example for that
import mx.transitions.Tween;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(img1_mc, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut,0, Stage.height, 50, false);
var theDuration:Number = myTween.duration;
trace(theDuration);
