How to stop the "BEACHBALL" spinning forever with every move I do?

Sorry for the lack of a better word. I have (2) G3 imacs running 10.3.9 w/cable internet, the graphite is linked directly to the cable modem w/ Airport Extreme and and the Flower Power uses an Airport Express. The Flower Power has no problems and is faster than the graphite. The problem of the spinning "Beachball" has gotten worse. As I surf, and go from page to page, it will load fast, but THEN the ball spins! , I have to wait for it to stop so I can move about the page, I guess you can say it freezes for a minute or 2, the mouse moves freely, but I can't click on anything. I empty my cache, and zap my "p" rams at start up, and even rebuild the desktop.
Does anyone have this problem? and what can I do to stop it? Any settings I can check, etc...?
THANKS FOR ANY INPUTS!

How to stop the endless spinning beach ball??

What am I supposed to do when something has obviously gone wrong & the beach ball is spinning round endlesly? In Windows you could just hit Control-Alt-Delete - is there nothing similar on a Mac?? I cannot close anything off or make it stop; if I force shut down, when I switch on again it is still there spinning round... Jeez, and people used to complain about the egg timer in Windows; this is 100 times worse; there seems to be no controls or anything to shut things off in this stupid Mac...?

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.

How to stop the spinning ball after trying to install 10.7.3?How

How to stop the spinning ball after trying to install V10.7.3?

Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1795765
I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together. Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
One thing I found last week and meant to mention: After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

How to stop the counter after getting maximum amplitude from a waveform graph?

I am using accelerometer, optical encoder and daq card (PCI MIO 16XE10) for my tyre balancing project. Basically i am trying to stop my edges count from the optical encoder to get the position for putting the mass for correcting the balancing. Could anyone please help me by telling me how i can achieve it or is there any other ways to get the position using the daq card? One more thing, could anyone tell me how to change the waveform graph to frequency domain instead of time domain?

Time to Freq is easy. 1/time = freq. example. 1 msec period = 1000 hertz (1kHz).
I guessing you are attempting to design a new spin balancer for tires. I would record the entire "spin cycle with index count" then search the resulting waveform for the max amplitutes. Correlate the indexes and that should give you the high point and location. You might want to count the number of revolutions, then grab that 60% of that number of peaks.

How to stop the waterflow?

Hi,
I need to make the water coming from the shower, when shower is clicked.
And the water should stop after 5 seconds.
The code is below.
The water is flowing nicely. But I do not manage to stop it.
I added a timer, which starts when the shower is clicked. And should stop the waterflow after 5 seconds have passed.
With the lines
if (stop = true)
     break;
     trace("break");
it looks like the for loop is breaking right from the start, from the first second. But not completely, somehow 1 or 2 drops are flowing.
Without these lines nothing is happening when the time is over (5 seconds from clicking the shower). Water is just flowing.
Can someone help? How to stop the water flowing after 5 seconds and clean of the array and stage from the waterdrops?
Many thanks in advance!

How to stop the internal batch session

Hi ,
How to stop the internal batch session, which is triggered from the program.
When I execute the program, there is an batch session, which starts processing in parallel with the program, and causes an error message for the program, so the further process is affected.
I tried finding the session through the Transactions - SM35, SM37. However, I could find any session in my name.
However, when I try thro SM04, I could find an session with the same error message. But I am not able to end the session.
Pleas advise.
Thanks,
cartesian.

Go through transaction SM50. In case you have more than one application server (transaction SM51 will show) you can also use SM66 which will show all running processes on all application servers.
With SM50 you will only see the process running if it is running on the same application server you are logged on to.
Mark the process and use menu 'Program/Session - End Session' or 'Process - End with or without Core'
Hope that helps,
Michael

How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?

I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
Thanks in advance - Jebah

Thanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
any other way to disable the jobs?
Steps I followed
Started with a Working publication and subscription
Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
Observations/Issues
Replication does not work
Replication monitor does not show any error
Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
Thanks in advance
