How to delete a color in color wheel.

I picked a color and dropped it into a little box at the bottom of the color wheel. Now I'd like to delete it but don't know how to do it. I tried clicking on it and delete, tried to move it to the trash, and a couple of other things, but to no avail. The only thing I seemed able to do was drag it to another little square. Thanks for the help.

Far as I know you can't - just drag a new color on top of it - if you drag white on top of it, it is effectively deleted.

How To Delete All Colors In a Swatch Palette?

If I wanted to create a new swatch palette without the preset colors being there, how can I delete all the swatches at once. I know how to delete each color individually but, is there a way to clear the palette?

I believe you can do it in the Presets Manager.

HT1349 How to stop spinning color wheel and open macair?

How to stop spinning color wheel so can open Mac air system?

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, however....
I just checked out the activity monitor when FCP was being sluggish. FCP was using only 300mb of real memory, and 1GB of virtual memory, even though there was more or less 1gb of real RAM completely unused. I quit and relaunched FCP, and the sluggishness disappeared. Now it is using 200 odd and 650mb of real and virtual memory respectively, and there's still much the same amount of RAM completely free - this looks like the way FCP genreally behaves, and I have to wonder if the sluggishness has much to do with how much RAM I have - it's not using it all whether it's being sluggish or not. I don't want to spend money on more RAM if I don't need to - is this absolutely definately a RAM issue, seeing as there's still nearly a GB free when it's being sluggish? Or is FCP just using virtual memory when it doesn't have to?
In the manual it says that the memory & cache settings in system settings maintain the performance of FCP by preventing it from using virual memory unneccesarily. It says that limiting the amount of RAM used helps, which seems counterintuitive, the obvious thing would be to turn it up to full. Can anyone tell me the optimum setting for the memory panel in system settings?

How to make a color wheel?

I'm using CS4 on a Mac.
I need to make a color wheel, like the attached, but with 24 segments.
Could someone tell me how? Start with a circle, obviously, and then what?

If I wanted to try a different method - is there a way I can make a 15 degree segment with an arc at the top and bottom that I can fill with color, and then repeat it 23 times?
The only way to do that and ensure your segments would meet in a perfect circle would be to start with the circle and divide it into a 15d segment, so you'd merely be tripling the amount of work. Plus, it will be needlessly fussy to get that rotation correct.
Here's what to do -- Create a circular band having the width that you want, divide it into segments, and paint the segments with the Live Paint tool:
Draw your outer circle with the default empty fill and 1pt black stroke.
Use Object...Path...Offset Path to offset that circle by a negative amount to get your inner circle.
Select both circles and use Object...Compound Path...Make to get your circular band.
Choose the Line Segment Tool, move your cursor until it's shown as being at the "center" of the circle band shape. Hold down your Alt key to draw the line from the center of your drag and also hold down the Shift key to constrain your cursor to create a vertical line. Draw the line until it extends past the outer edge of the circular band.
With that line segment selected, double-click on the Rotate Tool, set a 15d rotation angle (from the center point, which is the default), choose "Preview", then click the "Copy" button to get a rotated line.
Exit the Rotation options window, and with that last line still selected, keep hitting the Ctrl+D keys to duplicate that rotation and copy until you get your segments defined.
Select everything and click on the selection with the Live Paint Bucket Tool to define the object as a Live Paint Group.
Use the LPBucket to colour your circle segments as you wish:
When you're finished, use Object...Expand to break the thing into two Groups: the guidelines and the coloured segments.
In the Layers Panel, select the guidelines group and hit your Delete key to get rid of the lines:
Don't worry -- it took about 359 times longer to write all those steps than to actually do it!

How to delete all color swatches?

How can one delete all color swatches in a palette, or delete all "unused" swatches, such as one can do with Muse?
Or: how can one create a new set of swatches, that would be blank?

I believe you can do it in the Presets Manager.

I have a Mac Air. It said my start up disk was almost full and to delete files. I did but am not sure of what all I should delete. Then the color wheel wouldn't stop spinning so I just closed it. Now it won't open up at all. What can I do?

I deleted files from my MacBook Air after it said my start up disk was almost full. It did several xs, then the color wheel wouldn't stop spinning, so I closed it. Then after a sufficient amount of time, I tried to start it up again, only now the Apple start up wheel just spins non stop and nothing else happens. How or what can I do to get my MacBook Air to work again, without having to take it in? Thanks so much!

My imac keeps giving me a spinning color wheel when i open and close applications and also when I am typing in programs. It happens and spins and then releases. I have done the following: Run virus software and found no problems, I have reinstalled the operating system, I have reloaded Iworks software, I have checked system prefrerences and still the problem continues. What could the problem be and how can I correct the problem?

"the spinning wait cursor is displayed automatically by the window server when an application cannot handle all of the events it receives. If an application does not respond for about 2 to 4 seconds, the spinning wait cursor appears."

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

How do I delete Vertical color stripes (pink-red-green) on desktop screen - 6 of them. Anybody have the same problem? Other Mac groups have same problem.

How do I delete vertical color stripes on my destop screen. There are 6 of them in pink, red and green. Can't believe I'm having problems with my wonderful iMac!

Unfortunately, they aren't something to be "deleted." Might be a hardware/graphics chip problem. You should run the Hardware Test in Extended. Might have to run it several times to pick up an error.

I imported vacation photos, got the color wheel and did a force quit. Now I can't find any of those photos, and of course I deleted them from the SD card when I imported them. Where can I find those photos?

I imported vacation photos from my cameras SD card and deleted them when the import was complete. Then I moved them from Events into an Album. When trying to move 2 photos as once to another album I got the color wheel and locked up. I did a force quit but when I go back into iPhoto none of the recently imported photos appear - not in Events, the album, trash, etc. Where can I find those photos?

backup the iPhoto Library and launch iPhoto while depressing and holding the option and command keys until the first aid window appears - rebid your iPhoto library

How do I get the color wheel to stop spinning?

how do I get the color wheel to stop spinning?

To invoke the Force Quit window, press Command-Option-Escape.
If no joy, try holding down the Control key while you press the Eject key. This is supposed to bring up this dialog:
If no joy there, you may have to resort to holding the Power-On key until the machine shuts off. This may leave un-repaired Directory damage, so it is a good idea to hold down the Shift key when you Restart. This invokes Safe Mode, which takes five minutes to run one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk), then starts with minimal extensions loaded. You will need your username and password to log in, even if you normally auto-login.
Poke around a little, if all looks OK, you can restart in normal mode.

Iphoto will not open only color wheel shows how can i open it.

My iphoto will not open only the color wheel pops up, how can I open my iphoto?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

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?
